Straight out. Perez should be opening. He's at pit exit now. And Ocon, last corner, 12 seconds back. Ocon closing his first push. He's 10 seconds back. He's on the medium.

Toby, go switch to ALP for turn 4. Ocon on a double push. Ok, looks like Ocon is aborted, so he's still 10 seconds back.

That's George four ahead. Give me a radio check when you can.

Yep, copy.

Okay, so gap ahead at 5 to George. He's on a medium, no throttle behind.

Still clear behind. Georgia had seven on a push. I need a double push. Let's just go push.

It's all clear ahead for now.

Track's good to push again. Gap out at 8 to Franco.

OK, close the lap. Number one for a cool look, plus ten. Maintain the front, drop the rear.

So a total of four cars on the hard, everyone else on the medium. Piastri, 5 back, should be pushing. How's the circuit grip for you at the minute? It's Piastri in 3. It's weird, hard to feel the grip. Just the track's so smooth. Repeat. It feels like we're being under-flopped. Gasly in 4 on a push. Gasly with you, it's clear behind 10. Copy on the flap. Go mode 2 for now. Mode 2. Should be clear behind now.

My high-speed balance is good. Lacking mid-corner rotation. 6 or most other corners? All the tailwinds.

The ESX is not great.

Copy that, so we've got 20 seconds back to when Verstappen should be in sync.

OK, still clear behind.

Just try and manage a few seconds of the gap for traffic. Next lap you've got a 20 second gap to car ahead but it may be bunched up. Pace is top 10 for now. That's good. Go push.

Keep pushing, but there's six cars or call-ups ahead.

OK, we take a call plus ten. Just crack A3 back and these cars will start to come through. Piastri in six, Gasly in ten. So it will be plus ten again. Last time it was plus eight. Franco Piastri with you now. Gasly in five, that's top six pace on the hard tyre. Gasly in three, Leclerc in nine.

Leclerc in 4, then there's a big gap behind him, over 30 seconds.

Suggest paddle for turn 2.

Eight foot plus twenty. It's busy ahead. I'll just try and bleed some time. Perhaps use that at turn six. Anti-on.

Speed time 8.9 and then we can push and turn onwards. Still got a 25 second gap to Stroll behind.

And we're aiming for a fast low fast to finish the run.

Everybody's bunched up between turn three and the halfway down the straight currently.

Cleared to open. Stroll pushing in 8 behind him. 8 behind him.

OK, PAX Hall. Stroll still five back. Go push.

Cleared to close the lap. Nice. Cleared to close the lap. Nice. Cleared to close the lap. Nice. Cleared to close the lap. Nice. Cleared to close the lap. Nice. Cleared to close the lap. Nice. Cleared to close the lap. Nice. Cleared to close the lap. Nice. Cleared to close the lap. Nice. Cleared to close the lap. Nice. Cleared to close the lap. Nice. Cleared to close the lap. Nice.

So, Gasly, two tenths ahead on the medium, and 5 on the velocity, 12 through 30, 40, velocity is on the medium, 30, 50, 20 is on the medium, 50 on place, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50,

Yes, combination on that left was quite bad, as well as on that right that was quite bad.

HBP off, FT on.

Copy on the accommodation.

OK, switches are good. Only for one more push. Currently clear behind. Stroll 16 back and pushing. Traffic may start to free up next lap, hopefully.

Okay, we can get this speed back up now. I think traffic should be better, so I can pick the speed up, try and get the accommodation back. Stroll in 6 on a push, otherwise everyone in sync.

Stroll in 4. Cleared to open. Stroll in 2.

Stroll till 2 back.

You've got a six second gap to Tsunoda out lap, so it's all clear. Go push.

Okay, we'll close the lap. Six seconds back to Tsunoda. Should be pushing, sorry, should be in sync with you. We'll get Velium out of turn 3. Velium 2, gear 7 out of turn 3. Gap ahead at 4 to Franco. Should be in sync with Tsunoda. That's top 8 currently. Gap ahead at 6 to Franco. So Velium 2, gear 7.

Tsunoda in 4 should be in sync with you.

Back to BM1. I'll keep the speed up on the way in.

You can add T on as well.

Luke, just start front locking into turn 6 if you can. Bit more beaming or something.

Set go burn, if you can go burn.

Cleared the height.

That's Hulkenberg 2 ahead. He's on a cool lap. Still a low fuel cool lap.

We'll use these laps to try and find the right balance, turns 4 and 5. There's potential time gains there to nearest competitors, but we'll find the right balance.

Target, that will be a mid to high 26.

I think Sainz ahead two and a half seconds. Should be on consecutive.

I'll try the shift change. Green 10, position 4. Green 10, position 4.

Leclerc ahead, low fuel. How's the tyres?

Yeah, I'm managing the front a bit.

Copy, we see front left slight surface overheating 13 and 14.

Okay, let's try mode 11. Slight deployment change between 2 and 14. Mode 11.

Be one more time lap than the double in.

Okay, so I'll box this lap for a double in lap. I'll keep pushing all the way through.

Alex, it's busy ahead, so I suggest you drop back a few seconds so we can practice a bit. You've got Piastri four seconds back. Just watching for signs.

Okay, sights three ahead. Okay, we're good. So we'll box this lap. Stop in the box and lay rubber. Piastri will two-back.

Stop short of the box runway, Robert.

Hold the burnout for the low rubber and push pit exit all the way past 4.

Okay, if we get to pushbacks, it's clear of bags in.

Go switch to wind. I'll put your boxes up, clear around you.

Stuffing box engine off.

OK, straight out.

Go left, go left, it's clear around you.

Go switch to go out when you can.

Our temps are in a decent window. We're good to push you 15.

Ocon six ahead. He will push next lap.

Forehead.

OK, good to open. I'll call 5 ahead to target 6 if you can. Currently clear ahead. Go for 5, let's go push.

Close lap. That is a double call. You've got cars leaving the pitlane ahead of you now. Clear behind.

Anti-on as well. Aim for the double. Targeting zero. Try and maintain the front right temperature on these double. How's the flap?

Let's go up 1.0. OK, soon to come through the pitlane, plus one. I need a switch change as well for shifts. That's green 10, position 12. Green 10, position 12.

Okay, so Hulk pushing soft. He's four back and there's a gap behind 10. We're coming through the pitlane for plus one. Hulk in two.

Check your pull toggle.

To me the front right just wasn't biting. I don't know if it struggled with the temperature but turn 2, turn 6, all the left handers.

Strolling 3. Strolling 3. On a push. We can push through 15 at the beginning.

Strong push through 50. Exclude hard.

Okay, 7 back to Alonso. We have a box this lap. Stop in box for plus one. Turn on the wake and straight out.

So, wind starting to drop, same direction to be consistent, but starting to drop.

I'm just trying to push it through.

And then behind you it's just Hamilton eight seconds back on a push.

Try and buy us a push in the left-hand corners for the front right temperature. You've got Hamilton pushing in 5. If we get through here, that'd be quite good. Okay, Hamilton in 3, on a push.

Good to push through six, but Norris pushing in three.

Norris within a second.

OK, I suggest the paddle for turn 2. Paddle for turn 2, next lap. OK, ahead of you, a group on a call approaching turn 12, there's three cars, so good to push through 10.

I've got Bottas on a push behind you in 4, otherwise quiet behind.

OK, good to push through 15. You've got a loss of five back on a push. You should be OK.

There's a bit of a mixture of run plans at the minute. Lawson three back on her push. I won't give her a go, push.

OK, close the lap. Go switch to go in. It's a decent lap. We'll keep these tyres clean on the in-lap. We're boxing this lap. We're lifed up onto the hard. It's about a 20 second margin on a normal in-lap to get out before the lights at the pit exit. Don't worry about the VLM. Standard in-lap. Keep the tyres in good shape.

Set mode 7 when you can. Mode 7.

It's hard to know if that was tyres or wind. The three-corner balance was much better.

Okay, so we're boxes now. Keep your car running. It'll be a live step onto the hard for practice start in the pitlane and straight back out.

Okay, so we're looking to do a start as long as you'll be on the red light. So you've got 20 seconds till it's going to go red, so if there's any chance you're going to get stuck in the pitlane then keep going. It'll be two burnouts if you can, just make sure you pass the lights. There's 10 seconds till it's going to go red. I suggest you keep going.

Have a good one.

First target was on target but we need to go 2% shallower, 2% shallower.

Sights within 2. Sights within 2. He's taken the flag. These cars around you have taken the flag, so we need to go around and take it.

So, do I need to overtake this car here? So, we need to try and get through these cars because effectively they're going to do a grid start and we need to take the flag. There's another three, four ahead of you.

OK, so it's Franco Verstappen and Ocon, the cars ahead, that have taken the flag and currently exit 11.

Is it not a bit safer if I just did a start now? Because it will be a bit more dangerous to stay.

I'll come back to you.

Set tossers to medium.

Overtake, overtake on the grid, it's okay.

Sorry, go around and do the start.

Target. Target for now aim for plus three. For the start, plus three on the dash.

Just doing a car cooling, car cooling. Do the start on the grid, right hand side.

Look at the three burnouts, three burnouts. Last start was 5% shallow. Just watch the brake if you can, watch the brake.

Okay, go switch to go in. Push on the way in for a live stop engine off.
