Ok, so Perez just coming past now. He's on a fast lap. Car behind is Stroll. He is sustainable running most likely. So we're going to recharge off, turn 12 to 1.

Stroll behind has backed off, so no traffic.

So, just in front of Pierre Colapinto on an outlap. Could well be Pratik Russell in front of him. We'll be pushing him to time.

So I'm not sure what Colapinto is going to be doing this time. Prep or push? Stay recharge off until turn 1.

Okay, so Colapinto will be pushing next time. We need recharge off 9 to 12 as well, please. Recharge off 9 to 12. Clear a traffic behind.

Stroll 6 behind is now on a push lap. There's a big gap behind him.

We charge off to 12.

OK, recharge on. Keep our pace up. Down to the last corners. Stroll 4 behind on a push lap.

Next three cars in front of you should be pushing this time.

Stroll 2 behind. Clear behind him.

Lawson, 13th behind on a time-lapse vehicle gap here.

Okay, so we are P9 with that at the moment.

So we're going for a single cool and another push.

Car behind Tsunoda on a push lap this time, five seconds.

So we're going to keep it steady until turn 12. No need to push.

Car behind sights, time lap four behind.

Sainz two behind and then eight behind him is Stroll. Stroll pushing.

OK, so Stroll 4 behind. Stroll is pushing.

Car behind now, Russell, five seconds on the time. We're going to be full throttle, 12 to 40.

Russell, two behind. Time to land.

Clear behind Lawson. 13 behind on a push. We'll pick our gap.

OK, mate, so next car behind Sainz is Russell again. He's on a slow lap this time. He will have Albon coming through, he's set behind him.

Sainz behind was on a slow lap anyway, so he should be in phase. Happy to go fast, slow, fast again. From this point, we have two more laps. Albon 4 behind.

So we want to prioritise pushing the last chicane if possible to prep the surface.

Make the gap a little earlier and watch for Albon 2 behind him.

Watch for Albon coming through clear behind him.

Push to the last chicane. Good to go. Fast, slow, fast.

Okay, so slow round to 12 once again. Happy to go for one more push.

Car behind Russell. He's just finished a time-lapse, so in place with us. How's the balance, please?

I seem like a bit of front end really. The first turn is... Understood.

We can try dropping down diff entry to see what that's like.

So we're going to recharge off 9 to 12. We'll be pushing from 12 with recharge on. Lawson about five behind now on a timed lap.

Sustainable running of the track.

Behind Lawson is an eight second gap.

Okay, so car behind Hamilton. He's pushing five and a half.

Okay, so full throttle with DRS down to 14.

Hamilton two behind on a timed lap. A couple of cars come through here. Leclerc behind him for three and a half seconds on a timed as well.

Hamilton could be sustainable.

Watch for Leclerc too and he's got a three second gap behind him to Albon. Also pushing.

Sainz coming through, pushing three cars behind close proximity.

Okay, we're going for an aero cruise down to 5 if we can. Aero P3. Just got to watch for Sainz and Albon close behind in three seconds.

Sainz has backed off. Albon, the car behind, three seconds.

I'm going to go recharge off 9-12.

This one will do the other aero cruise if we can get a bit of clear air behind Albon.

Sainz 1 behind clear, behind Sainz.

Yeah, it's going to do a pitstop. We'll be pulling in behind them, please.

Pulling in just behind Pierre, who's in the box. Okay, Esteban, so on balance, do you think another step in the same direction? Question. Yes. Okay, understood.

Okay, so we've got Magnussen going to turn one now. It looks like he's on a prep three behind Zhou in front. Seven seconds on an outlap, so probably in sync with him. Bottas just in front of him as well. Can we go scenario six, please?

So we're going to go recharge off 12 to 1 as before. Russell behind now. He looks like he's pushing 5 back.

So I'm going to recharge off 12 to 1. So Russell is on a time lap. We expect he could do another slow fast after this. When he comes past he'll be in phase with us.

Once Russell's through, he'll be on a slow lap.

We've got hot at turn 1.

OK, so I'm just going to keep building from here.

Sergio in front, six seconds, should be on a prep lap.

So Magnussen is four behind pushing.

So, Zhou in front. I think he's on a prep but could be pushing. In front of him is Sainz. He's Sainz now, the car in front. He's on a slow lap. Will be pushing next time. Double yellow turn 12 with Stroll's car stopped on the left-hand side of the track before turn 13.

Red flag, red flag. We are boxing now. So no overtaking and box now.

Stroll stopped on the left-hand side.

OK, so I'll let you know what we can do when we're back. So we are boxing now.

Okay guys, Esteban, about 15 seconds.

Okay, sorry about that, we're at box now. Stopping out the front of the garage, please. You can drive through the pit box.

Wrapping up the tyres, please. Yeah, we're already on it.

OK, Esteban, it's going to be somewhere between P5...

OK, instruments, so...

This is... we've only got two minutes left of the session and the session's going green in 50 seconds. So no-one's going to get a lap in. So no-one's going to get a lap in, unfortunately. We just wanted to get out there. So we'll do the start at the end of the session, yeah. Can I try and push the lap at least? I'm very happy for you to push everything that you want to, yeah. No concerns with that.

Can we just go SOC 1 please, SOC 1. And we'll do the same thing, recharge off 9-12 as well.

Tight tips are a little on the cool side at the front in particular. OK, green light. So just be clear, there's only one minute left of the session, so no one will get a lap in.

So I'll go recharge off 9 to 12.

Good job, Joe. Yeah, that's the way.

Okay, so we've got Colapinto and Pierre 6 behind. Pierre is just behind Carlos in front to make a little gap to Carlos in front. So you can push.

So, reminder, this time you'll be taking the chequered flag. Happy for you to push, but we'll be then going to the grid to do the stop.

And recharge on, please Esteban, recharge on and a big lift into 14 to cool the brakes. Recharge on now, take a big lift to cool the brakes. We're going to the grid to do a start.

Okay, so a couple of switch changes. Can we go to scenario 1, please?

We are going to the grid. We're going to do three burnouts, please. I'm going to start on the left-hand side. And I'm going to start on the left-hand side. That's not full, though. Ah, I appreciate that. I appreciate that.

So, left side? Left side, please, mate. Three burnouts. Start on the left. We'll be pushing to pit entry. Here's the car behind you. If you're the first car to the pitlane, we'll do a practice pitstop.

Recharge on after turn 12, please.

Okay, mate, so keep your pace up, please. We're boxing to do a practice pitstop.

Box, box, practice pitstop.

No launch. No launch.

Okay, thank you for that. When the car's back in, let us know if you've got any comments for us. Let us know, otherwise you can jump out.
