Radio check. Yes, that looks good. Likewise.

Okay, so we've got Bottas on the control line now.

Gap behind Bottas, he's in turn 1. One and a half seconds back. One second coming through.

Now, no immediate threat. Ivassa, 12 seconds back. Radio check on track. Yeah, I'll look to you.

Ivasa still 11 seconds back.

So it's no first behind.

B-Car drop. When you're ready.

So no immediate threats. Ocon in turn 16.

That's how you do it.

Initial feedback.

Yeah, one thing is the tarmac. Do it at five. Tarmac going into turn. Do it pushing two seconds. One. Magnus are pushing eight seconds. Yeah, the tarmac going into turn 12 changes quite a bit.

Magnussen at 4.

Drowning 10 seconds back.

The high speed feels a little bit too much front wing.

I'm braking at 12, 12 and 15, rounding in two and a half seconds.

One, coming through. Bottas, five seconds.

So push toggle is available. Bottas at three. We can do a flap adjust if you want. Otherwise push toggle available. Bottas at two seconds. One.

We do another lap. Another pull.

Yeah, I'd go for another call here, so let me know if you want to come through for a flat adjust.

No threats behind.

Let me get a proper read now. Copy. I stay out.

So no fans behind here.

So you're in phase with Russell in front on the second charge lap.

First car pushing is Lawson, 12 seconds back.

Losing that four seconds.

There's also no brake boards at turn 1. I cannot see the brake boards at turn 1. Turn 1, copy. OK, no effects behind. Cars on outlaps and charge laps.

These guys in front on charge laps.

Okay, so expecting Russell to go in front.

Still no flats behind.

Recommend push toggle for turn 12. Push toggle turn 12. So that's six seconds to Russell. Got Norris 14 seconds back. Only car pushing. OK, Russell at 3, 4, 5. Recharge on.

No immediate threats. Browning might be opening a lap six seconds back.

So Russell P1 25.9, we're P2 26.3. Two and a half temps in sector 1, three temps in sector 3. Bounding through.

Purple in sector 2.

Yeah, fighting a bit the entry stability into the final sector.

Yeah, I may need a rear and traction was a bit difficult also out of six.

So Lawson pushing four seconds back.

We're going for a double cool. Would you like a flap adjust this time?

Was it a struggle to win?

It's delaying the migration on the brake bias.

Yeah, but I wish we could... Dracovacius could be finishing in four seconds. Yeah, I felt I picked up quite a bit of understeer at the apex.

OK, Djokovic has backed out. We've got Hamilton pushing at three seconds.

That's a Magnussen at eight seconds.

Magnussen at five seconds.

Magnussen pushing. Two and a half. One and a half. Coming through. Gasly at five seconds.

Gasly pushing at three seconds.

Gasly at one second.

OK, no medium, that's behind.

So, yeah, that is intended to push through, bring a bit of stability into sector 3. Feedback after the first lap of being a bit limited there.

No immediate set behind.

It's the first car pushing Colapinto nine seconds back.

Colapinto at 4.

Three, two, one.

And Norris 20 seconds back. Only car currently pushing behind.

And noise at 10 seconds.

Norris at six seconds.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Then Ivasa 10 seconds back. Recommendation is to cancel push toggle and use B-Bal 4 for turn 12. B-Bal 4 for turn 12. Ivasa 6 seconds back. He is pushing.

That's four seconds back. Two cars in front.

3, 2, 1. No threat behind.

Clear in front, VTOL drop.

Recharge on.

We'll box at the end of this lap. The tyre was nowhere initially. They should have let me know that it was, I was on a rake running.

We'll box at the end of this lap. Go about the programme.

Copy. Box, box.

Tyre 7. Tyre 7. Push to turn 9.

So I'm in the car pushing Gasly 18 seconds back.

OK, so recharge off, we'll box, attack the box, tightest pitstop and switch off.

Okay, Checo, sir, any major...

I'll be clear at pit-out.

In front of you, you've got Bussell and Magnussen on outlaps. They're at turn 5. Both out on the soft tyre. So I assume they're the same as you.

So there's no thirds behind people on charge laps and out laps.

Russell and Magnussen, eight seconds in front.

Tyre 8. Tyre 8.

Sir Magnussen at five seconds.

Mike, submit two seconds.

No fat behind.

Be charge off when you're ready.

Okay, VTOL John, double slow.

Yellow's ahead, that's clear. And no threats behind people on charge laps.

OK, Russell did a 25.4.

So, two and a half times.

Mostly coming into sector 1.

B-Bal from your side.

I'm still a little bit front limited at the apex.

5, into 5, into 9. I had a traffic there, but it was a bit front limited.

OK, we've got Fernando pushing 10 seconds back.

Look at Diff 5 and Mid 5. Fernando, five seconds pushing. Three, two, one.

And then Arthur Leclerc at six seconds pushing.

Two. One.

Switch recommendation. Diff mid 5.

And diff entry 5. You can use that for the whole lap. And then red button turn 9.

Leclerc at eight seconds pushing.

Leclerc at full.

2 1

We go up on the flap. Copied.

You should be in phase with everyone at a pit stop.

I also recommend cancelling the handbrake at turn 6. Cancel handbrake at turn 6.

Okay, losses are mostly in sector 3. It looks like we're overpushing a bit late entry into turn 12. Also, turn 14. Focus on the exit at turn 14 and then mid-corner speed turn 16. Obviously, had a bit of traffic there.

So Norris in front on the second cool-down lap.

Gasly behind.

On the first cooldown lap.

There's another immediate threat behind. There's another engine in the grey, 8th position, 5th chain, minus the 8th. Engine in the grey, 8th position, 5th chain, minus the 8th, 8th position, 5th, minus

So the only car pushing here is Artevasa, 11 seconds back.

He is doing false light, false running now.

Colapinto on the first charge lap. Evasa is six seconds back. Russell in phase with you.

Avasa at five seconds pushing.

That's four seconds.

If I said two, one.

VTOL John, I will box at the end of this lap.

So there's no threat behind outlaps and charge laps.

Still no Fats behind.

So we're at P7 at the moment, Norris P1 with 24.5, and then the Mercs 24.8, 25.1. Losses three and a half Thames in sector 1, tenth and a half in sector 2, and four Thames in sector 3.

It's a box, practice pitstop and switch off.

Mode 6. Mode 6.

Now he's got nice fuel. He's high fuel. Russell, car track behind at turn 16. So 15 seconds back.

So Russell is 12 seconds back.

Russell still 12 seconds back.

Five-second custom hold overtake.

We're looking at a time-lapse here. A time-lapse.

Russell doing 29.6, 29.7, Norris 29.9, 29.0.

Strat 11. Strat 11.

So our made losses are turn 12. Entry and mid-corner speed.

Was there a correct pitch?

Russell's last lap 29.8. Norris 29.3. Hamilton 29.0. Second push lap.

Losses to Norris at turn 1 and turn 5.

Balance update. Yeah, it's really hard on the rear.

Recommend entry 6 and mid 6. Entry 6, mid 6.

Once again behind. Five seconds.

Strat 14, mode nine. Strat 14, mode nine.

Strat 14. Strat 14.

So, one more push lap.

Russell's last lap. 30.0. Norris 29.9.

Was the diff change positive?

Not ready. Not ready. Let's begin.

Deathmatch 8. Deathmatch 8.

So keep on pushing to at least turn 5. We'll have a look at diff mid 8 for turn 5.

Okay, we can go to mode 12, mode 12. I'm prepared for the start.

So drop some tyre temp now. Nice and easy, back around to the grid for the practice start.

Display 7. Display 7.

So Bottas looks to still be pushing at two seconds.

Three long burnouts. Three long burnouts and a start on the shortest queue.

Just the one burnout, just the one burnout.

B-Charge on. B-Charge off.

OK, B charge off.

Tackle your way in. Practice pitstop and switch off.
