So I'll go straight out. Got Zhou at the last corner now. He'll be first car on the lap.

So, I've got Magnussen five seconds behind, then it'll be Stroll another seven. So, it'll be a Magnussen on pit exit. So, Magnussen with you now. Alonso's left of the pits behind you. Next car will be Stroll, seven seconds.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

There you go, Stroll, at three and a half.

Is that a straddle car behind?

The next car will be doing that in five seconds.

I'll do that in three seconds.

They're doing that two seconds. So I do a car behind them. Their next hole will be a little six seconds.

So a loss of three and a half seconds. So a loss of two and a half seconds.

It's an awesome car, a bit hype. The next car will be Colapinto, ten seconds away.

Colapinto at 6.

Colapinto 5. Strat 2. Colapinto 3. You've got 3 ahead. Colapinto car behind. Good to go.

Okay, so just keep an eye on Joe Carbine at four seconds. He may go again. Currently P2, three tenths to Norris P1. So Joe Carbine on a lap. So a minus 20 on your temps. And then next car will be Perez at four seconds. So Perez at two seconds.

Next car is Tsunoda. Tsunoda at five seconds.

I had a lot of traffic and then had a big snap in turn one. Copy. Tsunoda car behind.

Loss in sector 3. Pushing the entry turn 12. Losing on exit. Stroll next car four seconds.

Yeah. Stroll car behind.

Small loss at turn 5. Minimum speed 10 kph. Colapinto next car, seven seconds.

Colapinto 3. Colapinto 1.5. Next car, Albon at 15.

Brake settings, turn 6, look good. Sectors? Norris, it's just a couple of hundredths, sector 1, nine hundredths in middle sector, it's all final sector, two-tenths, Norris. OK. Prodigy, that 12.14 section. OK.

Was 13 and 14 better? Yeah, 13 and 14 looked a bit better. Yeah, it's just that entry 12 for a better exit.

Next car back to surface in six seconds.

So, going for a double cool here, back to about three seconds.

Go back some car behind. You've got George with you, who's also on the same profile. Next car, Piastri, six seconds. Snap at turn one. Yeah, OK, we'll have a look. Piastri, three seconds.

Piastri, one and a half.

That next car, Valtteri, at 5 seconds.

A-firm, if you need to, be good for tips. Flattery car behind him.

So, for turn 1, the only thing we can really see is maybe trying brake efficiency, so higher peak, just leading off a bit quicker.

You have a north exit.

So, Norris with you now. I think he may have backed off. So, yeah, Norris is on a slow lap. Next car, Leclerc, four seconds. How much are people through? Looks like Leclerc has also backed off.

Albon behind, who's on a slow and no threat behind.

So, biggest improvement for Norris was turn 5. You get two tenths there.

Turn your safety back to me. Yeah, copy.

So, just for info, I think it was Norris, maybe Leclerc. Norris and Leclerc, yeah, they went for sequels and they approved that there will be some track ramp in there.

So, Albon ahead two seconds on an outlap, no pressure behind.

Just reset your cruise modes. Thank you.

I've got maximum ahead at 3 seconds, now 4, no pressure behind, 5 ahead, now 6 ahead.

Recommending single cool now, so minus ten. Tsunoda behind at two seconds. So he's starting up a little bit. Tsunoda and Albon behind him, another two.

Albon car behind. Lawson another three seconds. Albon's backed off. Lawson at one and a half. Lawson's still one and a half. He may be on a slow. Just keep an eye on your mirrors. The next car will be Stroll. Stroll at three and a half seconds.

Stroll is aborted.

So, time was found there at turn 67.

I lost out on the exit. OK, copy. No pressure behind.

So, a snap at turn 1 cost a couple of tenths, and turn 5, that's a tenth loss. Why is it single-cooled?

We're just seeing other cars dropping onto single cool, but there is a mix. You let us know what you think on tyres. Maybe surface temps turn one that last lap they were on the low side. Yeah, I think I'll just still do two. Okay, still do two, but just don't let the surfaces drop too much. Yeah, surface. Yeah, copy. That's fine.

You've got Hulkenberg behind on an outlap. Norris, he's 11 seconds away.

One of these guys will find me in a second.

Norris out three and a half. Two and a half to Norris. They now car behind.

What's turn 12, any better?

Small improvement at turn 12. I only have a science of seven seconds on the lap.

Sightset at 3 seconds. Sightset at 2 seconds. Sightset car behind. Good gap.

So, Norris improved turns 1-5 and then the chicane 6-7. No other areas of gain for him on his latest push.

Just focus on trying to keep the fronts up.

So I've got Leclerc behind at three and a half seconds. He should be on the slow.

OK, we'll have Verstappen on lap 5 seconds.

Verstappen at 3 seconds.

Stab at the car behind.

Sir, no pressure behind you.

No, don't attempt to drop any further than this.

So, sector 3 should be pretty clear.

Is that a Strat 2 good to go?

OK, so P8 at the moment, it's 9 tenths to Norris.

In terms of sectors, it's very little in sector 1, just 400. Are we going double again or not? Stroll at three seconds, stand by. Are we doing a double again?

To be fair, Lewis, you probably need to get on with the program where we had three pushlaps planned with doubles. OK.

So, we'll box again.

Are you sure? Copy. Only 10 cars on track at the moment. They're all pitting now.

Just for info, George is taking another push, so he's going to compromise his long run. I'll let you choose. I just haven't finished the last sector, so I need one more chance.

How long a long run do we really need?

OK, copy. We'll go for that call again.

I'll try not to keep it too slow. OK, sure. Just in turn now. I'm losing all that time in that last sector now.

Sectors? Sectors four one hundred. Sector two is two and a bit tenths. It's three tenths of the final. So loss is six seven. Then yeah, from nine onwards, 13, 14 for the main ones and 16.

George, car behind you. Four seconds. Mid-speed, late entry, mid-speed. George, car behind you.

Second test. Second test. Turn 5 a couple of tenths. Turn 5 a couple of tenths. Where is that in, turn 5? In mid-speed.

Just about a diff mid for a bit more stability.

I have Colapinto at seven seconds on the lap.

Small loss at Norris mid-speed. Colapinto, three seconds. Colapinto, two. Car behind.

Looks like he's aborted.

So, reset cruise.

Black needs a box. Copy.

Okay, so I'll go for a practice pitstop. No, I'll just go for a normal stop.

No transcript available

Traffic, pitlane. Copy. Yep, see that now.

Is everyone else on track? We've got 16 cars out.

There's a lot of traffic down there, mate.

So you've got Joe at three seconds ahead, and now four.

So, you've got now eight seconds to Zhou and the Norris on the pit exit. Target temp. And there you have it, Perez four seconds behind. So, 73.70 for most cars, minus two on the Delta. So, it'll be Sainz at four seconds next car. Thanks for watching.

You can have sights two seconds. Sights at one and a half.

Car behind is Gasly. He's on an outlap.

GPS quality is fading a bit.

So we've got Alonso at 4 behind. He's completing a lap. And then there's Zhou 7 ahead.

Alonso, two behind, now one and a half.

OK, so I think we have Gasly on a lap in four seconds. It's currently P4.6 tenths to Norris P1.

Looks like Gasly has aborted. Next car on the lap will be George at 9 seconds.

Biggest loss is turn 12, mid-speed exit, about ten and a half. George at three seconds. George now one and a half.

Yes sir, no doubt, that's over three and a half seconds.

Seatbelt low, decarbonised. Seatbelt is down, so that's a rudder case.

So sectors, it's just over a tenth of sector one, two and a half in sectors two and three.

6.1 is only a few corners. Where is that time? Turn 1 mid-speed.

A little bit at turn 5 as well. Turn 9 looks reasonable.

Hulkenberg out to four seconds. Hulkenberg car behind.

No pressure.

Turn 12. It's the last sector. Too high gear in the last corner.

Turn 12 mid-speed. 13, 14, don't look too bad. 16, yeah, just late entry.

How much is it at 12, is it? Just stay on the brakes.

Yeah, it looks to be just apex speed, so braking looks good.

So it's about a tenth, maybe just a bit more in the pitlane if you need anything.

Not tyre temperature, I tell you.

73.70.

So, he's 10% to the centre. One in first. Yeah, one in first, a couple in the second and third. So, you're going to have a do in the first corner now. So, he's three seconds behind.

Two behind to do it, so do it with you now.

There is some straight line loss to Norris.

Lewis, can we have HVP 8, position 7? 8, position 7.

Stroll at three and a half seconds. Stroll. Car behind.

Just think about your front tips, keep those up.

Sir, no pressure behind.

You've got Piastri at 5 ahead.

OK, so we'll box-box.

I'm sure you saw it, but yeah, you're up two tenths to yourself there. So, just fell away through 13.40. So, we'll box, box, Albon, but just leave the pits car behind.

Top box, back to the garage.

That's good on the box, good to beat it.

I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90. I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90. I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90. That should be all clear on exit. We've got Norris last corner. Norris three seconds behind. There you go Strat 7, when you're ready.

Take a three-minute stop.

Two ahead to Norris. Now two behind Verstappen.

Verstappen was at 29.7 lap 1. Norris at 30.0. Norris then did 29.7 lap 2. Am I too close to him? At 4 seconds at the moment.

And we're happy with this gap.

And only one loss to Norris, turn 6-7. Last lap, Norris, 29.8.

You still have scope of entry if it's two steps on each switch.

No transcript available

Gap behind 1.0. You've got nine seconds for Verstappen. You've got five ahead. Six ahead.

Verstappen 29.6, Norris 29.5.

N29.3, Bixby Center, N69.3, Bixby Center, Bixby Center, N69.3, Bixby Center, N69.3, Bixby Center, N69.3, Bixby Center, N69.3, Bixby Center, N69.3, Bixby Center, N69.3, Bixby Center, N69.3, Bixby Center, N69.3, Bixby Center, N69.3, Bixby Center, N69.3, Bixby Center, N69.3, Bixby Center, N69.3, Bixby Center, N69.3, Bixby Center, N69.3, Bixby Center, N69.3, Bixby Center, N69.3, Bixby Center, N69.3, Bixby Center, N69.3, Bixby Center, N69.3, Bixby Center, N69.3, Bixby

You've got two more laps.

Norris at 29.7 is tucked up behind Sainz. Verstappen at 30.2.

I think that leaves the coast.

There it is, I take the flag.

Pit u-turn should be a bit better this time.

That was Chris looking there, right?

Yeah, pace is looking good. We'll have a stat lap for you when you get back.

Carlos, I'll be left-hand side and we'll go for two burnouts.

It'll be 52, BMIC 2, then Strat 5, push at turn 5.

Clutch was on target.

Okay, so we'll be stopping at the weighbridge. Hop out when you're down there. If you want to stop really short, they've got a queue down there.

Just at the top.
