OK, open the gap where you are. We have plenty of cars on track. I'll keep you posted on your gaps. We have Gasly on the line starting a lap, and then Biermann exits last corner. OK, Gasly pushing turn 1.

Gasly pushing turn 2 and then Biermann 10 behind. We have Colapinto exiting the pitlane behind you. Ok, Biermann turn 1 currently cooled down. Position is good. Reminder on braking and a bit of space in your outlap.

Fail 1-0. Fail 2-0.

And we will synchronise 8 gears down the straight. Russell pushing 4.

Russell pushing 3. Ocon ahead, cool down. Russell pushing 2.5. Watch your mirrors. And then that's it. Only Russell.

Piastri, Russell reporting a bumpy track. Offset one, charge of YOR.

And we have Gasly, medium 13.5. And most people are going for first position medium, 13.5.

It's so bumpy out here, man. Loud and clear. Single cool-down. We have Sainz opening a lap 3.5. OK, go straight into your cool-down after the line. Sainz pushing four behind. Offset forward.

Sainz pushing three.

Sainz 2. Sainz coming now. That's it for now. Ocon behind cool down.

So it was 3 tenths turn 2. Minimum speed exit. Still early days. ISO sector 2.

And we are overpushing entries in low speed. Please remember, slow in, fast out. Copy that. And gear usage, is it third or second gear?

Yuki was second gear in turn 10. Only difference, no one pushing behind. Position is very good.

Engine 8, position 4, when you can. Not urgent. Engine 8, position 4.

OK, we need to do more on the brakes please. Turn 10, turn 12.

No one pushing behind. Keep the position. Autocross behind. Slow curtain.

I'll try to get a good braking turn 12 and then we have two cars in turn 12 getting ready for a launch.

OK, charging for you all.

Offset one. Two-click reward.

On same again, we go for double cool-down this time. Double cool-down.

And remember to keep the brakes up in turn 4. We have Alonso opening a lap on the line.

Alonso, pushing turn 1.

Alonso pushing 2, Sainz pushing 9. Easy on tyre, double cool down. What about aerobalance, Liam? Sainz pushing 3.

OK, next one is Troll 5. For me it's not too bad right now. Next one is Troll 2.5. A little bit towards understeer. Right now, pushing. That's it for now. OK, we're happy to keep the flap as well. So let's stay out and you can take it easy, but keep your brakes on check in turn 4. Reminder, we didn't do it again. Yeah, I know, copy. I had cars coming and Yuki in front. Loud and clear.

So it's the same picture in turn 2-3. So we are braking a little bit later in turn 1. Iso entry turn 1, but we're not able to carry the throttle on the exit speed turn 2-3. It's three tenths.

Sectors 3 and 2 are very aligned. Very small things.

Any limitation in turn 2 or just a bit of mileage is going to come up? It's very bumpy, so it's just, for me, confidence catching throttle through the bumps. Copy that. Yeah, it's the main difference. Same entry speed, but he's pushing more on power on exit. Next car pushing Ocon is...

Biermann opening a lap. Three behind.

P1 pushing 2. 1 coming now. Okay, next one will be... Okay, we're good. We're good. Position is good.

Offset forward.

Good brake in turn 4 and then we take it easy.

Engine nine, position four.

So that's a 13.5 for us, Yuki's 13.1, and Yuki's P11 with a 13.1 on our P15.

On its own in sector 1. Turn 23.

So obviously we have a big track evo and people keep finding five tenths every lap.

Brakes are good. We're in a good place. We can take it easy. It will be offset one charge-off. We have a bit of traffic ahead.

Next car pushing is Norris 18. I'll let you know Norris. Keep the position to Ocon. People are slow last corner, but we are good on brakes and tyres.

Mid 4. Let's get a bit more apex rotation. Top right ruddery.

Norris pushing 10. Only still two cars to go ahead of you.

Lando is pushing six.

Charge off. Norris pushing straight. 2. Coming now.

Okay Liam, good job sector 1. Very strong there this lap. That was one tenth faster than the other car. We have max pushing brake in turn 1. Max pushing 3. Max pushing coming now. And Liam, a reminder when there is fast cars coming last sector, that when you do charge off, the power is not coming straight away.

Yeah, copy. Offset forward. We see a bit more front limitation as the track is picking up on the pace. What about adding a small step of flap for the next lap? Question? Let's add flap, yeah, let's add flap. The only thing is I had a bit of instability in 6.

Copy that. Box, box, go to pitlane.

No one pushing behind. Box, box, through the pitlane.

Bulti B7, diff position 8. Box, box.

Stop on the mark for flap adjust.

OK, track will be clear on position. It's good. Let's give us a good break in turn 4, please.

So we focus on that turn for braking, track is clear, and then you can take it easy on the rear tyres again.

We can move to entry 8, so we've added flaps, but we want to keep the stability on check.

On the last lap, I know we had traffic there, but we pushed a little bit too hard on exit turn 8 and lost time in turn 9. But copy, we had traffic previous lap turn 9. Copy that. Still no one pushing behind. Positioning is good. A bit of brake turn 8, then open the gap to Yuki. Next car pushing, Albon is 18.

If you can, engine 9 position 7. Engine 9 position 7.

OK, good job on the switch and brakes. Same turn 10, un-open the gap, exit turn 10. Albon pushing 9. Reminder, exit turn 12, we have no power. Copy.

Albon pushing 4. Albon behind you now. And then you can go Hulkenberg 13. Charge of last corner. Offset 1 on the straight.

Box, box. Mode 6, get ready for pit entry test.

Let's get to the brakes. I'm going to use the cockpit. Copy.

Do you want offset 4 or no? Let's keep it to 80 for the pit entry. We are boxing, we get ready.

Charge off. Box, box. Pit entry test.

Coffee box. Stop on the mark and switch off.

Ok, position was good.

Ok, Liam, let's plug the car and we can discuss the situation out there.

Liam, if you can have a little think and help us in terms of what you believe will be the limitation going into the sustainable. If you don't have a view, we'll find out together.

And if possible, two tyre warming.

Okay, currently no one coming behind. We have one Aston exiting the garage. Click of attack to burn out. Target baseline.

Just crossing the pit exit line if you'll be good on gaps.

Ocon, make sure to pull to the left into the box for the start. Mode 3 for the start. Stroll coming behind you in the pitlane.

OK, we have one car going by on track, we'll be clear. Track is clear where you are now. You keep mode 3 for one full lap.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

A lot of touching down the main straight. Loud and clear. Just discussing it.

Mode 6.

What's up with the pitfall?

Kobayashi-Yama, you can shift from the pitlane.

It's not an issue comfort-wise. I just don't want to damage anything.

And a bit more management in turn 6. Lift a little bit earlier.

Beers are draining a lot, man.

Copy that. Manage it.

Entry 9, we are checking. It may be something else.

Mid 6. If you need a flap adjust, keep us posted. We can do a correction.

Offset one click forward. Strat 10 when you can. Currently in 11.

Yeah, that's tight, but I'm comfortable.

If you can try to manage more, exit turn 67. Yuki is much more gentle. Exit turn 67.

Yeah, copy. I'm trying to use the front. It's a problem. We need to reduce the speed. Balance is very limited. It's going to be difficult to use the front. Copy.

Box, box, box, box. Through the pitlane for practice starts.

Box, box, through the pitlane. Copy.

No burnout, straight to the start. It will be mode 3 for the start. Procedure was really good. Try to dump the second part of the clutch. The second part of the clutch released a bit earlier, like we discussed. But the rest of the procedure was very good.

And there will be traffic, so stay to the left after the stop, please.

Reminder for mode 3.

Okay, we have Biermann 3.5 behind. You can keep pushing. Box, box.

When you can, mode 6 please, when you can. There are some slow cars ahead of you.

On Lille Avenue we are marginal with the white line at the pit entry. Marginal. We need to be more to the left of the white line.

OK. Box, box.

It's so bumpy, I can't...

Static pitstop. On switch off. Focus on position. Hold the brakes.

Ok Liam, you're going to have to give me 2-3 minutes. We're going to make some changes to the car because of what we've been discussing live. So give me 2-3 minutes please and I'll come back to you.

OK, copy.

Charge on.

OK, track is clear. We have a test in New South behind you. We have Zhou starting a lap in turn 13. I'll keep you posted. We will let him by when he comes.

OK, Zhou is pushing 10 behind. On Colapinto did 11.6. 11.6 on soft.

06 behind.

Zou, 2.5 behind. Pushing. Zou, 1.5 coming now, pushing.

And that's it. A bit more braking, turn 10, turn 12. I have to be charged off offset 1.

No transcript available

Position is good. Good braking turn 12. Charge off. Offset one on the line.

Okay Liam, it's a good lap. We're inclined to box. Please confirm you're happy. Norris pushing 4. I'm happy, yep. Box, box. Look after tyres. Norris pushing 3. Norris pushing 2. Coming now. Pushing.

OK, next car, Ocon, turn 1, pushing. Box, box, live pitstop.

P5. We go to the soft and we try to do a few more procedures.

Ocon, pushing 4.

Ocon coming now and then Gasly 4 pushing. Gasly 3, 2.5 and Russell close behind him, high fuel. Gasly coming now and Russell 3 high fuel. Russell 2 behind you on high fuel. Russell pushing coming now.

Box, box, live pitstop on back on track. Pit exit test on your way out.

OK for charge off on mode 6.

And put in for a test. Box, yes. Live pitstop.

Live pitstop, back on track and pit exit test.

OK, copy on track. OK, copy on track.

Yeah, I mean, I can't do anything. Yeah, don't worry, that's okay. So, track will be clear when you get out.

Let's go mode 3 for a start. Let's go mode 3 for a start. Behind signs please. We have copy during a start. No burnout. Copy. Focus on that clutch. We have Piastri, Max, couple of cars coming behind you. Watch your mirrors. Let's go a start. On reminder on your clutch last lap.

Multi B8, torque six. Multi B8, torque six. We have Biermann coming.

OK, all good now. Track is clear. Yuki, turn 1.

Ok, Yuki pushing 4 behind. Cool the car, cool the car. Yuki 2. Yuki 1 coming now, then Russell 4. Russell still long run 3. Russell 2 pushing. Russell coming now and then we pick up a bit of speed. We'll do no DRS up to turn 1 please to check the bouncing.

On the strat 2, when you can, not urgent. Currently in 10. Strat 2.

We can open the gap to Sainz if he doesn't let you by. Sainz is going to go for another short lap.

On no DRS, push to turn 1, please.

Oh, we can keep the pace up until we get a checkered flag.

Mode 6 when you can. We'll have one time lap. We'll stay out.

So, Biermann 2.5 behind on low fuel. I leave it up to you. We are pushing as well. I leave it up to you with Biermann behind. We are pushing as well.

OK. Bien manipulaté. Bien, Yuki. We are good with him.

So let's keep the pace up again to turn 1 please. We gather more data there. No DRS.

Ok, Liam, we take the flag and then we will cool down the tyres to go to the grid for the start. We go take the flag.

Watch your mirrors, Lando Norris. They are backing off as well. Just watch your mirrors in case he wants to go by. Mode 12 now, please. Mode 12. We have two McLaren, one Alpine. Let them by if they want to go by. We cool tyres, please.

And let's go, offset 3, a bit of brake, turn 8, turn 10 please.

Coffee dancing a lot. Loud and clear. We've gathered what we need. We will fix it for the next session.

Currently P10 on medium. Most cars went on their soft tyres. On Yuki is P12.

OK, so it's not looking too bad. We just have to fix that issue. But we've got some good ideas already. We've got good ideas. Copy that. We just focus on the other ones on your side. Yeah, copy. We just need to think about it more. Copy, I'll do it in turn 12.

We will do one tyre warming. The previous start was good. Start from the right-hand side as far forward as you can.

You can go back to offset one.

Target baseline. Right-hand side. Try to put it all together. Right-hand side. One tyre warming. As far forward as you can.

Mode 3 for the start, click overtake, one tyre warming, mode 3.

Brakes will be on the low side for turn 1.

Charge on. Mode 6 in the background. Keep the pace up. Keep the pace up for timings to help with static pitstops.

OK, we can keep the pace up and that will be charge off last corner, pit entry test, static pit stop. Box, box.

We have Ocon catching behind you. Keep the pace up.

Charge off. Pit entry test, static pitstop.

Copy, I had a McLaren in front, a little bit too close. Static pitstop on switch-off. Hold the brakes.

Position was good.

Okay, stand by two minutes. Yuki is doing a pit stop, so we don't bother the mechanics, and then we discuss. Copy.
