A1. Engineer.

Radio check in pitlane. Loud and clear in the pitlane.

Turn 1. Copy, turn 1. Turn 3. And I will clear turn 3. 4. 5. Radio is good, 4-5. 6. And turn 6. 7.

Seven. Seven. And eight. Eight.

Enter 10. Copy that, enter 10. 11. 11. 12.

Back straight into 14th. On the back straight, 13th, 14th. These salvos, potentially in a box, seem to be going slow.

Enter 16. We're not in the pitlane currently.

We've still got seven seconds behind. Valtteri's building his gap. Four and a half ahead. He'll be strapped to next lap.

B-Bal offset plus one.

Marker for right.

So target minus 10 here. Got Tsunoda car behind six seconds. Just completed a lap.

So, Lewis, lap 1 was a 36.1.

Main losses look to be braking zones.

First car on a lap is Hulk at 12 seconds.

Hulk now at 7 seconds on a lap.

Hold it. 4, 3, 2...

So, clear behind now.

Update on tyre temps.

Still looking for minus 10 from here if we can.

This should be clear in sector 3.

Albon car behind on an out lap.

Clear behind 2. Alonso at 9 seconds on a lap. Go back out for Tsunoda. We'll be Strat 2. Alonso at 5. Alonso 4. L3.

There's an Alonso car behind.

OK, so strat 1. Single cool.

Hulkenberg at 4.

3. The target is minus 12 here.

So we need some car speed on this lap to call the URs.

Just let me know what was... Still quite stiff on the front. I did hit the brakes quite hard. I think it's just because of the grip probably.

Are you happy with the Ares now?

Keep cornering if you can. Keep cornering if you can. Now 9 seconds. Just shout when you're happy because I can't get any temp out of these tyres. Like this.

Alonso at five seconds. We can do a double call here if we need to, George. Three seconds to Alonso on a lap.

So OZ is OK now? I think it's OK. Copy.

I'll be clear in sector 3 like this.

Track ramp is picking up very quickly. So Norris on a medium. 33.9. Sainz on the hard. 34.7. You've got Tsunoda and Sainz on cool laps behind.

And next lap will be strat 2.

Ah, I'm going to beat you.

Let me know what you want to do with the program. Track's obviously just ramping up quite a lot. It is. Do you want to make that rear change we were talking about? Currently not. Happy for you to review on the other car. How long is it going to take? 10 minutes? Yeah, 8. About 8 minutes.

So, first corner lap, Magnussen, six seconds.

4. Currently I feel I need another lap before moving to a soft. Yeah, I'm happy to do that.

Ah, aerosteps are OK. AFM aerosteps are good.

So, targeting as much as you can out the tyres here.

You've got Alonso at 9, now 8 seconds on a lap. Lewis improved to a 34.7. Plane lost turn 14 braking. Alonso now 4, 3, 2, 1.

So it will be clear in sector 3. Hulk behind is on an outlap.

I'll be strat 2. Good to go.

Strat 1. Box, box. Cruise bow is on, isn't that? Pull them out. Cruise 2 out of turn 5.

And then going down to cruise 3, turn 6.

And cruise 4 to cancel.

Still all clear behind 20 seconds and cruise mode 5 after turn 9.

And cruise 6 to cancel.

I think we can afford to do that change at the rear if we need to drop to a single lap and then stop. I've got traffic.

So, box, box. Stop on your marks with the cone in front.

And just 10 long.

We need to try and divert these brake fans blowing hot air right into me.

So, straight out.

Lewis, just completing a lap.

Track is clear.

Lewis, lap 1 on the soft, 32.7.

So, first corner lap, Ricciardo at 10 seconds.

Checking out in our seven seconds.

Tsunoda's got 19 seconds ahead of him. Ricciardo now four seconds on a lap.

Out three, out two seconds.

So, Ricciardo is still at 2.01.

So just build that gap to Tsunoda to be clear behind now.

Verstappen behind. Should be boxing.

Strat 2. Good to go.

I don't mind bolting if you won. Obviously lost a lot of time in that one corner. Yeah, understood. So you've got Norris behind four seconds on a lap. I mean, temps aren't that hard. We could attempt a single call. Norris at 2. Yeah, it's just long run running. I'd be happy if you do need to do another one for learning. Thanks for watching!

You guys made the call. I'm happy to start. We're going to start at 4.

Can't waste enough time to lose in that corner.

So we think that would have been a 32.4, so around where Verstappen is P4.

Rear locking became quite bad then.

So, box, box, stop on your marks, aero zero and switch off.

Good on the box.

Thanks for watching!
