Okay, 40 seconds. We'll be doing a start at the end. Reminder, that's at the right-hand side of the pit exit.

Thirty seconds.

Fifteen seconds.

Five seconds. There are a few cars out there, the young drivers, with rakes on for info.

Okay, so Piastri in the car behind and then O'Ward behind him, so we'll radio check on six gears, please.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

Radio check, turn 6. That's good for me, so big gap in front of Sainz.

OK, all looks good from our side, so push lap next time.

Will you charge off? Good.

Happy to keep pushing for a second lap if you want tyre temp still low.

Ok mate, so gap behind is six seconds to Piastri. Piastri could still be pushing, he has just finished one time. Four seconds now.

Happy to keep our pace relatively high on this slow lap and bring those tyre temps up.

Piastri three seconds behind, could still be pushing.

And red flag, red flag, let's box now. Please no overtaking. Red flag and box now.

What's happening? Not sure. No visibility on anything at the moment. No warnings around the track. Nice steady pace on the way in.

I'm going to get some more info, I'll let you know.

OK mate, so we'll stop outside the front of the garage and go to P1. We're going to keep this tyre set fitted, wrap it up and bring the car back inside.

NACA Spanso, boxing now please. Stopping outside the front of the garage and switching off.

Step on it. OK.

I'm not sure exactly what this delay is for, how long it's going to be. We're going to get the car ready to go.

Yeah, just make sure you tell me not to, you know, push the pits.

And we have a green light straight out. Yes, I'm happy to go brake 5 for this outline. Okay, so we can be fairly quick on this outlap. Front tyre temps in particular a little on the low side. Plan is to do fast, slow, fast, slow, fast, and then we'll come in. We're not going to do the aero testing we planned at the end of this run, so just five time laps from there. Just add some weaving in where you can, 6 to 7, and then 11 to 12.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

OK, so that's a just a recharge off. Now we're good to go. Fast, slow, fast, slow, fast.

Happy to push again next lap. Fit that in for timing. Do four times.

Okay, so Lawson behind six seconds could be pushing for a second lap.

Lawson 5 behind and brake 5 as well, again just to help keep those fronts up to temp.

Watch for Lawson behind now. Two seconds. Could be pushing still. Gap behind him. Eight seconds to Magnussen, who's backed off.

OK, next car back. Oh, Ward. Nine seconds on a push lap.

Expanso from turn 10 will do a normal outlap. Award 7 seconds behind. And then behind him is Hulkenberg who's also pushing at 4 seconds.

O-Walk 5, the high-type lap.

Let's go brake 3 now. Good to push for another lap.

Okay, 14 seconds behind to O. Ward. He'll be pushing this time. So we're going to cool down and go for another lap. We're P9 at the moment. Piastri, P10 behind us with a 21.4. Pierre's first lap, 21.2. So we're going to go slow, one more push and I'll see if we can squeeze another lap in after that. How's the ride, please? O. Ward, 7 behind, timed. It's not the best at the moment. Okay, understood. O. Ward, 5 behind, pushing. Is that ride low or high speed, please? Low speed. Understood.

Ward three and a half behind timed lap and a ten second gap behind him.

Do you feel that ride is front or rear driven? Have you got a feel for that? I think it's...

I think it's all green. Okay, understood.

Give ourselves time to make sure we can do an adjust, get it right for the soft. We'll go for one more lap as it stands and we'll come and make some changes.

OK, mate, so we're going to push through the stadium, prep the tyres and we're good to go. Brake three, please, brake three.

Recharge off and good to go.

Ok, watch for Perez starting a time lap behind. Perez coming through. Gap behind him 6.5 to Verstappen. We have a few cars coming through this time. Verstappen 5 seconds and then Tsunoda 3 seconds behind him pushing as well.

Okay, mate, so if we want to make a ride adjust, it's in our best interest to come in now and make sure we've got time to get that in and the rest of the plan, if you're happy with that. If you really want another lap, let us know. I think we can try. Watch for Tsunoda three seconds behind coming through. And then Behrman three behind him could still be pushing as well. There's going to be a few cars here. Just keep your eye on your mirrors, please.

So Bermacom 3 then. Piastri and Albon could both be pushing as well. Piastri definitely is. Albon also.

Okay, so just confirm you'd like to box and we'll get on with that set-up change. Are you happy with that? Yeah. Perfect. I prefer it now. Yep, very good. Okay, so let's box now. We'll do a practice pit stop.

Box, box, practice pitstop.

No launch, no launch.

Can I have a look at some comments when you're plugged in?

Yeah, I still want...

Okay, so we might speed this outlap up a touch. I'll let you know as we go.

I will do a burn looking at traffic in front. DRS off.

First car pushing Magnussen. Eleven seconds behind. Eight second gap behind him.

Set the next car pushing. State the outlap plan and use DRS.

Magnussen seven seconds behind. That's about six cars to go, all in the stadium section.

Magnussen, four behind timed lap. Eight seconds behind him to Stroll, who's then pushing. Five to go in front. Four to go in front. Magnussen, two behind timed lap.

Stroll eight behind time lap. Three to go in front.

Stroll six behind time lap. Four seconds behind him to Pierre who's also pushing. Stroll coming through. Four to Pierre. Timed. Car behind Pierre is on an outlap.

OK, recharge on and double cool. So P9 with that time at the moment. I'll give you some feedback shortly. Car behind Colapinto on a slow lap as well. Pierre's first lap 19.6. 19.6. He's in P11.

Ok, so no traffic behind at the moment. How is the balance please?

A little bit of understeer at turn 7. A bit at turn 2 as well. Understood. Would you like a flap adjust for the next lap?

Okay, understood. So we've got Stroll 8 behind. It looks like he's pushing now. He's still on that hard tyre. Stroll 6 behind and pushing.

I'll give you the switch changes when he's through.

Already done and perfect. So Stroll two and a half behind, time lap, and then Drogovic six and a half behind him and pushing.

Drogovic, three and a half. Time lap 11 seconds. Gap behind him.

OK, next car behind, Lawson. Eight seconds. Time up.

Okay, mate, so main loss to Pierre through the lap is braking turn one. Once again, he just brakes later with high pressure. Everywhere else is good at the moment.

OK, Lawson four behind time-lap, clear behind him. We're going for a second cool-up.

OK, big gap behind now. Going for another cool-up. Magnussen, 20 seconds behind, will be pushing this time, I think.

He's done a double cool on the soft tyre.

Hulkenberg in front, just left the pitlane. He's in phase with you, so he's on his second cool-up.

Okay, Esteban, so we can use the open modifier for the high speed at turn 7 if you want to give that a go.

The other option that we can do to try and help turn 13, just to help the entry there, would be to go to Diff Entry 11. That you can put on and keep for the whole lap if you like. I'll leave it up to you. Magnussen eight and a half behind. To improve stability. It will improve stability, yes. Add support.

Okay, so Max cooling on the way round, please, and we'll just push the stadium section at the end of that. Magnussen, four seconds. Nice and steady on the way round. Max coming through now. Big gap behind him.

We'll just push the same section. So Colapinto, Hulkenberg, Sainz, all those cars in front, we're in phase with them.

There might be a bit of waiting. We can make the gap early and then try and push 13, 14, 15 if we can. Four cars to go in front.

Go to brake 3 now.

Three cars to go in front. Next car pushing behind Pierre. Ten seconds. Two cars to go.

Yeah, 5 behind.

P4 behind. Gap behind into Schwarzmann on a slow lap. P1 is through. Clear of traffic.

Alright, let's push.

OK, mate, so recharge on. We're boxing this lap. I've got some aero cruisers for you, please. Aero P3, turn 3 to 4. Aero P3, turn 3 to 4.

Schwarzmann behind. Slow lap this time, so clearer traffic.

And then aero P3, same again, turn 11 to 12 and then we're boxing.

So P7 with that time.

Swartzman coming through, probably on an in-lap keeping his pace up. Hulkenberg behind. Fast lap as well, so just watch for him please. Looks like he's sustainable running now. Three and a half behind him. And clear behind him.

Hulkenberg one and a half behind. Aero P3 when you can. And then we're boxing 4.

Correction, no practice in the pitstop, just boxing now, please. Boxing now. Clear of traffic behind.

We can go back to tyre on the multi as well.

Okay, we'll be stopping on the marks under the gantry.

I'd advise not hesitating on this start. You should come out in clean air. I do start, yeah? Yeah, do a start please with a 5.5 but don't hesitate. You should be okay on pit exit then.

Toggle recharger 1 pushing from now, Tsunoda 4 behind.

Cleared track ahead, pushing from now.

OK mate, it's going to be three time laps from now until the checkered flag. Three more laps.

We left the garage bottom of the pack.

Understood. We'll be okay next lap.

I don't think so. I'm seeing the red.

OK, let's just keep pushing for now, please.

Two more time laps.

Sock nine when you can, sock nine.

Diff entry 11. Diff entry 11. This will add stability. One more time lap. This is the last lap.

And brake bias two clicks forwards. Brake bias two clicks forwards. Three on the dash.

Okay, and that is the chequered flag. So we're going to the grid to do a start. We want to do those same aero cruises, please. That's quite important this time. So aero P3, turn three to four.

We also want to make a gap to Pierre in front so you can both do a pitstop as well. So these will help us. Aero P3 down to turn 4. Tsunoda two seconds behind. Everyone's taken the flag now.

OK, perfect. So nice and steady through 5-6. Make that gap to Pierre in front. And we'll do the same aero cruise 11-12.

So just going to keep building that gap up.

It's Aero P3, 11 to 12.

Okay, perfect, thank you. So, nice and steady through the last sector, please. We want to build that gap to Pierre. It's only seven seconds at the moment.

Okay, nice and steady through the last couple of corners. Two burnouts and a start on the left. We'll be pushing to pit entry.

There is a yellow flag on the pit straight at the moment. I'm now clear as well.

I'm going to push to turn 12 and recharge on a box.

Bit weak at the 5.5.

I'll be pushed to turn 12 then recharge on and make a gap to Pierre from that point.

Recharge on turn 12. Very steady round to pit entry. We want to make that gap to the car in front. OK, mate. Thank you for that. Nice and steady round to pit entry, please. We're going to try and get a stop with both of you. Gap is only eight seconds at the moment.

Tsunoda 7 behind. Obviously he'll be boxing this time. Nice and steady as best you can.

Okay, mate. So, yeah, busy session there. Thank you for that. We'll get some final comments when you're plugged in. But, yeah, not a too bad start, I don't think.
