To be all clear on exit, we've got Gasly exiting turn 16 now. So first car on the lap will be Gasly at 11 seconds. We've got six ahead to Norris Verstappen.

So, expect Gasly at seven seconds. Gasly behind seven seconds. Gasly four and a half.

Sir, Gasly, sorry, six seconds.

Gasly, five and a half.

So, Verstappen's ahead by five seconds. He's probably going to drop back. He's got Gasly four behind.

So, 3.7 ahead to Verstappen.

3.6 behind Gasly. Completed lap.

So, a loss of six seconds.

Verstappen five seconds behind starting a lap.

So currently P3, just over one and a half tenths Piastri. Verstappen at three seconds. Verstappen at two seconds.

Main loss to Piastri. Turn 11 at minimum speed. Target minus 10. So we're going for double cool.

Skip the sectors. So just under a tenth. Actually, sorry, your purple sector one by tenth. So one and a half tenths down. Sector 2, one tenth, sector 3. Sector 2. Sector 2. Turn 11. That's flat out. That's flat out, turn 11.

Yeah, we'll just look and see if that's the GPS glitch.

You have lost about six steps. Six steps, six steps, six steps, six steps.

It looks like that's a four and a half. If we can have HPP8 position 9, we can have HPP8 position 9.

Lawson at three seconds. Lawson two and a half behind. Lawson car behind.

Then it'll be Albon at four seconds.

I'll put that three seconds on the lap.

Carburetor at 2.0. Carburetor behind. George lost entry before exit 10 at the same time.

No pressure behind at the moment.

Double, not needed. OK, copy. Helps the track position, but OK, that's the info.

Someone behind. It's just George. Same programme.

SRP, middle sector is weak or okay? Middle sector, yeah, to McLaren now, two tenths to McLaren middle sector.

So Piastri found six tenths on his next push.

So, no pressure behind. You've got a seven ahead to Albon.

So, I think we'll go for a double slow again, double cool. It just helps with track positioning. Purple middle sector there. Losses turn 14, 15, 16. And obviously turn 1 snap.

This first sector is down. How far are we up? So that's three tenths down to George sector 1. Purple in the middle sector. A couple of tenths in the final, that was in speed 14, 15, 16.

So I need to run a bit more speed in late entry. So focus on higher peak rolling off.

So that is turn 40.

Targeting 80 front, 76 rear. 80 front, 76 rear. I have Gasly at 7 seconds.

Gasly at 5.

Gasly at full.

Gasly 2.5 behind.

So it's down three-tenths sector 1. You're up a tenth in the middle, down two-tenths in the final.

So, turn 1, George carrying a little bit more speed, late entry, and then the snap cost him a couple of tenths.

The actual braking point was very similar to turn 1.

There's no pressure behind.

Taking our sights ahead at nine seconds.

So I just need Strat 2. Good to go.

I've got a red light on my dash, what is it? We are investigating, but don't worry about it.

OK, this is all box-box.

OK Lewis, we are safe. Just wait for the cars to complete their laps, but just full one hundredths behind George.

So it's a little knocking turn nine and then leg entry turn five.

Yeah, I didn't know if I had a problem. Yeah, no sweat. I didn't want to bother you on the lap, but yeah, we're investigating that. It's now cleared, obviously.

I'll just keep the taps up. Please mate, thank you.

So just half a tenth of a sector one, two hundredths in the middle and you are up four hundredths in the final, so all very tight.

I'm still in gear. Sorry.

Time target out. AFIRM will just give a quick question one second.

So, 45 seconds, so we'll leave the engine running.

Is that a lot of cars out? Yeah, copy.

Mike, still helpful? BW?

Hey, copy Lewis. Yeah, still helpful, especially now because we're queuing.

I didn't get to look at the screen, so I'll just give you some more pointers. I know it's turn 5. Is that braking or is APEX speed I think, right? It's late entry APEX, so green light.

And turn 90. Got it. Yeah, copy.

Clear on track. Just target 78 all round. Gap? Seven seconds.

So we've got Tsunoda ahead. He tends to be relatively slow on his outlap. So the gap is at eight and a half seconds.

No grip behind.

Tyres are cold. Yeah, copy.

So we're just going to stay on plan.

So you've got seven ahead of Tsunoda, no pressure behind him.

Strat 2, good to go.

Traffic!

OK, so we'll box-box. You can have Tsunoda at six seconds behind at the start of the lap, so currently P1. You can improve at turn 5. Tsunoda will be car behind at four seconds.

Just keep right tips up.

Tsunoda at 2.5. Think about your HPP12 switch.

I see another car behind that one and a half.

Set sail out of the car behind.

Let us know if you need a flap adjust.

That was out of time compared to others up there. New start.

Yep, so that was good. So Verstappen was on you, you're still P1. Verstappen P3.

Piastri was used tyres also, but one millisecond to hit P2.

So just leave George first, his tyres are ready.

That's OK. Let George go first. No, it's OK.

Yep, he'll get the right tyres on the right car.

Have I got the right tyres? Yeah, A-firm.

78, 78 square.

Traffic with sights. Sights on exit.

So we have a four laps time for four laps. So it's fast, double cool fast, or if you need a prep, take it. Got traffic. Yeah, copy.

So no pressure behind.

Distributor HPV 12.

I have HPV 12.

Okay, so minus 12, minus 12. Currently P2, eight one hundred to George. So we have a choice of single or double cool. Double will be better for traffic. Your choice.

So, braking turn 7, tenth and a half.

Yeah. Yeah, that was great.

Info George, we'll be going for a double call. Yeah, me too. OK, thank you.

Also, a bit of time to be found at late entry. If you can carry a bit more speed, turn 12.

Sectors? Zero in sector 1. Down two tenths in the middle. Up two and a half in the final.

Two turns at 5 and 7, right? 97, so it's pretty much all in 7.

5 looks flat to George.

Sightseeing.

Still 78 square.

I think it's a 10-1.

Yep, happy with turn 1. Max has just left the pits behind you.

I'm happy with where the tips are now.

Gap ahead of George. All clear ahead of George.

No pressure behind. Magnussen right behind on an outlet.

Turn for HBP12. It'll be Strat 2 and you'll be good to go.

Gap ahead. Gap at 5, so that's good.

Hang on, it's a little box-box.

So that's currently P1, two tenths to George, P2. Car still completing laps. So it's still time to find turn 7, a late entry. A tenth and a half there and a little bit to 15.

Get that snap in 7.

Just have a Q3 in lap now. We've got Colapinto exit turn 16. Double yellows there, Colapinto.

Fire at 63.

Do you want me to back off a lot, yeah? No, that's fine. Just what you're doing there is fine. There's a little debris at exit 16. I think it's all on the right-hand side. OK. It's all across the track, so yeah. Is he OK? Yeah, the driver's OK. He's getting out now. So, yeah, just pick your way through. Yeah.

Yeah, I just checked the right rear. Pretty much got through it OK. OK, copy. I'll have a look at it.

I think I went over a piece as well down the centre of the car, so just check that.

Got a quick chat, we'll plug it.

Let's go, let's go.

People still on the pitlane. Let's go.

Gap ahead. Eight seconds ahead.

Now nine seconds ahead. Hulkenberg eight behind.

No sights now at 10 seconds ahead.

It's an hour and a night ahead.

So, next sight will be Dracobacchus.

Sights at 6.5. Tips look OK. Sights now at 4.5.

Starts at 5.

He was still braking ahead.

My side sub may be pushing.

I've got Hulkenberg out to three and a half behind. Not sure what his plan is.

Hulkenberg 2.5 behind. On the lap? I think so, yep, he looks like he should be.

Set no pressure behind.

Charles Hulkenberg, three and a half ahead, completing a lap. L5.

11. Didn't get that lap. OK, copy. So we'll box-box.

Just keep your brake temp in it.

Set a stop on the box, put back in the garage.

So yeah, George just went for the first lap.

Traffic with Leclerc. Leclerc car ahead. Expect all these cars to be on preps. We've got Sainz. He's going to be eight seconds behind.

So, I'll say about three and a half seconds, so it's Leclerc and Hulkenberg.

The techs looking good.

Expect Hulkenberg may drop back towards you. No pressure behind.

So he's three seconds ahead, Hulkenberg, no pressure behind.

Now one and a half ahead.

Two ahead. Three. Four.

I lost the back-end.

That's it, guys.

So we still complete the lap.

Yes, sorry about that. Peter? Yep. That was a big mistake.
