Okay, so we're going on an outplay fast and just have Perez at turn one. Watch out Perez on contact turn one. He's within four. Watch out Perez, two, one. Perez with you.

So you are, go Sainz. That is good. I have a Stroll at turn 3 slow, so everybody in sync. Got the 12 pin in sync with you behind on top as well.

Russell is on the prep. He will open.

We expect Alpine to be on the same run profile as you and we expect Russell to open now.

OK, you're good, I don't start when he's pushing more. 1, 2, 3, 4 on that prep lap. Just a question with Ocon behind you, just in case he's pushing. Should be on prep.

If you want to let Ocon pass, we are P2. There's a good gap behind 11 to Stroll, pushing currently.

OK, let's push turn 10-11 and turn 12 we go out.

Can I be busy into turn 14 and Stroll pushing 6 behind? So Zhou and Gasly will open in front of you.

Stroll 5.

Above your gap targeting 5. Stroll now 5.

Watch that Stroll 5. It's opening now. So gap 2, Stroll 3. Watch that Stroll. You go push.

Okay, close the lap. We'll be single slow. Targeting zero on the dash. Maintain front, drop rear. Gasly behind in sync.

That's a good first lap.

And the feedback on the flap.

Flaps OK. Copy. Can I have blue 6 position 3, please? Blue 6 position 3. So maintain front, target 0 on the dash.

I have Hülkenberg 12 ahead if you want some other cars.

Yeah, you will have a mis-turn. I think they will open next one. Currently 11 ahead. First car pushing. Tsunoda is far behind 8.

Just a reminder on our side, if you want to brake balance for turn 1 and turn 12. Hulkenberg is seven ahead now. Tsunoda pushing FAB behind.

No, not forward 41. May be for the last corner, yeah. Okay, Tsunoda pushing forward, Camber 5 ahead. I need to drop more the rears before you open. Just watch out, Tsunoda 3.

So, that's three and two.

Tsunoda, one. I think you can maybe open in front of Tsunoda. So just open behind Tsunoda. Open behind Tsunoda. And you go push.

OK, we target a single slope. Target plus 10 by turn 9. Focus on dropping the rear. Watch out, Tsunoda, one behind, pushing.

And Hamilton just closed the lap, so in sync. Session PMIC 3 for stability, PMIC 3.

And green 10, position 6, please. Green 10, position 6.

So we're clear behind. Can I have B6 position 4, please? B6 position 4. Two cars ahead of you are slow. Expect to open next lap. You can react to that turn ahead.

So, we want that plus 10 by turn 9, then you can push on turn 9.

You can push from now. Blue 2 position 11. Please blue 2 position 11.

Magnussen will open.

I need blue 6 position 4, please. Blue 6 position 4. Clear behind.

Clear behind. Watch out your gap to Magnussen. Gap two. Three. And your go push. You need to be blue six position four. You can do it in two turn one. Blue six position four, please.

So, critical, blue 6, patient 4, please.

Okay, close the lap, close the lap and it'll be go max, focus on it, retention, clear behind you.

Okay, clear behind, so just focus on each retention. That was a good lap, good improvement sector 2, just being on your own. 2, just being on your own. Can I have feedback on flap? Can I have feedback on flap? I'm happy with the flap, mate.

Do you think we need to do something mechanically? Are you happy?

It just feels like I'm sliding around the rear quite a lot, but the rear feels quite weak sometimes. Okay, I'll come back to you.

Brake warm-up. Brake warm-up. Exit of 16 and box, box, box, box.

Copy, B-Bal. Stop in front of the garage. Quali turn roll in front of the garage. Quali turn roll.

Okay, so we're just looking at Piastri's exit.

And now you'll have Perez at turn 1 to watch. Verstappen now at turn 1. Keep him in front of you. Verstappen turn 1. Just watch out. Verstappen turn 1 now. And then Perez 5. Perez 3. Perez 2.

Ah, birdie.

Ok, now I just have Piastri ahead. Just do your job.

And you'll go out, Verstappen, we'll open next one, so just close your outlap and have your gap, Verstappen, no threat behind.

So Verstappen will open, targeting gap 5. No fault behind.

There is a decent window. Verstappen on the window. Gap 3. Gap 4. And you go push.

Okay, go cool, go cool, Lawson in sync, everybody in sync, DBI.

So, we'll target zero. We'll be looking at opening next one.

And Norris, 11 ahead, will open.

Cleared behind. Lawson in sync, so stay ahead of him. Norris 12 ahead, wheel open.

I need to push.

OK, close the lap. Targeting a single slope. Targeting plus 10 on the dash by turn 9. Dropping the rear. It's clear behind. You can have green 12, position 1. Alex, 34.4. We lose a tenth and a half. Turn 1, 2, 3. Then we lose a bit. 7, 8. The rest of the lap is good.

It's a red flag, red flag, so maintain temperature. Can I have go max, go max, temperature on your tyres, go max please.

Worriso car stop.

Go ahead, please. Where is the car I've stopped? Yes, I was coming back to you. His exit of turn 12 on the left-hand side has trolled. Exit turn 12 on the left-hand side. So I think he's parked reasonably far on the left where there's a small opening. So if he's turned right, you'll be OK. I don't think there's any debris.

Do you want any flap adjust or not?

Oh, but I would like to try a mechanical if we can. Yeah, we don't have time. Five in session left. Five only.

We'll see if he restarts and we'll try to restart and be there on time but to post maybe another lap but it's going to be tight, no time for any mechanical change.

I think you're pushing all the entry, turn 1, turn 5. Just try to back off on this entry where you're struggling a bit. Box, box.

Copy, stop in front of the garage. Copy, cue. Just stop in front of the garage, please.

Okay, so when you are at the end of the pitlane, switch off the engine and back to P2.

How much time left? Short one's coming back to you. Please now fire up the engine. Fire up the engine. Ready to go. This is going to be only for one minute. So you're just going to take the flag and do the grid start. No one's going to be able to do the lap time.

I'll power up the engine.

And that's 20 seconds. So I can have tyre selection to medium, tyre selection to medium and go out please.

Can I have green for position 1, please? Green for position 1 and green in 2, 1, green.

Do I want a gap? I see one. I see two. No, no, no, no, you don't have a gap. Just doing a real stop, mate.

Can I have mode 7? Mode 7. And blue 6 position 4. Blue 6 position 4. Targeting minus 5 on your rears. Minus 5 on your rears.

It's possible that Gasly is trying to open a lap. Just let him go, no worries. We're just taking the flag. Alex Verstappen behind you, gap 6.

And no foot beyond, no foot beyond, never cast a head open.

Okay, we'll be taking the flag so Alex is in sync with you. We just have P5 behind. Try to watch him if he's opening the lap.

So, Piastri.

Watch out Piastri too. They can't open, they can't close it.

But they can't open. So one shot Piastri two. Targeting minus five on the rear. Minus five on the rear.

Piastri is still 2. I don't think Piastri is pushing. Just like a minus valve on the rear. On to the grid start.

Okay, so you're in P1, so you pick your side, Alex. We'll just do opposite to you. Confirm burnout.

We're good on P10 target as planned. Come back on burnout.

Four burnouts. Remember, you did only three yesterday. We need four burnouts, please. You pick your side.

Okay, you go in. Can I have green 4 position 4, please? That's for the pedal test. Green 4 position 4, please.

You are shallow plus five. Medium two into turn five, please. Medium two into turn five. Try to have some pace to get the gap to Alex for the pitstop and session.

If Alex passes you, we need a 20-second gap. 20-second gap, please. He's not doing really much. That's fine, don't worry. You're doing your stuff. So let him go. Open the gap 20 seconds to Alex.

Gap to Alex, 8. Keep opening.

I like 1600.

And as I'm full on exit turn 12, happy to push from exit turn 12.

Alex, twenty one ahead.

Box, box.

Box, box, white line, pit limiter.

OK, copy pitlane. Last stop in session. All marks. Engine off.

Sorry, JV, we almost killed you.

Just jump out, we talk inside.
