Ok, so cars in front are on the hard tyre, Fernando and Stroll. So let's focus on DRS. You see they're likely to box at the end of this lap. They're scrubbing.

OK, clear traffic behind. Steady on traction.

160 kph records, 6-7. Okay, give me a DRS. Aston to Pratt, we'll be stopping at the end of this lap.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

Delta negative target at the top right. Happy to push from now. Has to do front boxing. Copy. Recharge off last corner. Good to go.

OK, charge up. That's good. We've got Lawson car behind just in the pitlane on softs. OK, so we're going into double cool. How was the balance initially, please?

I'm a little bit underbalanced. Okay, understood. So loss behind on an outlap might keep his pace up. Watch for him, please.

Where will this make her understeer limitations? Medium high speed.

Understood. What do you think about a flap adjust for the next push lap? Yep, copy. One turn up. One turn up, understood. Okay, so we're going to box at the end of this lap. We'll do a flap adjust and then go back out.

Let's keep the pace nice and steady, just as you're doing. No traffic behind. We'll be boxing now, adding a turn and flap, and then going back out just a normal pull-away please from the box when we get there.

And Fox, now please check for flap adjust. Copy.

Boxing. Very good. Stop the box.

Good morning. Stopping on the box, we'll do flap adjust and then a normal pull away.

Okay, so we're just going to keep this next lap nice and steady. We've got Verstappen just going into turn 12. Now he's on the soft tyre line to be pushing this time.

Jack, can we go to mode 2 on the multi? I've got a moment. Mode 2.

Verstappen, five behind on the time. Four behind now for Verstappen.

Stop at 2 behind time.

OK, that's good. Next car behind is Norris on an out lap. There's a turn 2, so we've got plenty of space here. She'll be able to keep it on for the rest of the lap, hopefully.

So we're just going to continue nice and steady for now. When we get to turn 10, we'll start to increase our pace.

Okay, we'll start to pick up pace from now. Prep the surface. We've got a good gap in front.

Pokémon will be prepping the surface. Recharge off for the last corner.

And recharge on.

Okay, so, car behind, we've got Pierre just leaving the pitlane, and then we've got Norris who's just finished a time lap. So, nice and steady on these double cool-ups once again. So, front-fold times for Verstappen's first lap on a soft tyre. He did a 76. Esteban's best so far, 18.1. Pierre on an out-lap behind. He'll be keeping his pace up on the straight, so watch him in place to hold him up. Copy.

OK, what are the main limitations we've got now? Same. OK, understood.

Okay, we've got Fernando six seconds behind on a tight blackwash there, running the hard tyre at the moment.

Watch Fernando, two behind, tyres are clear behind him.

Next car pushing for Piastri. Four seconds time lap for Piastri. We're going to drive through the pitlane, Jack, this time. Do you want another flap adjust question?

OK, Jack, so we're going to box now. We'll go one turn off.

It's nice and steady on the way, please, Jack. We're just a flap adjuster going back out.

K-Jacks are nice and steady into the box. We'll go one turn up on the flap.

Okay, you should be clear pit exit. Nice and steady again, around to 10.

Car behind is Albon, just leaving the last corner now. Just watch for him, please. He's just finished the time lap. Apologies. He's on the hard tyre, not possibly.

On brakeshape, Jack. I'm actually happy to stay on brakeshape 3, if that's OK.

Go back to that. We suggest using the top right and front right modifiers for turn 3 and 4 to help with a little bit of front blocking that we've seen. That might help with understeer as well. Nice and steady round to turn 10.

Leclerc in front, he's on a first cool lap, so it's possible that he will be double cool and then not pushing the following lap, if that makes sense, so we'll probably come past him. Bortoletto just in front of him, he's on an outlap, he will be pushing next time. Copy. So we're going to keep our pace up from turn 10, have us go past Leclerc. Next car pushing behind is Verstappen, eight seconds back.

Verstappen five behind time lap.

Four to left turn front. We'll be pushing next time. Verstappen three behind, if we can let him through. Good gap behind him. Happy to follow him from now.

Pre-charge off in the last corner. That's good to go.

Last lap, let's push it.

Stop, stop the front right. Yeah, copy that, Jack. I'm happy to box at this point and pass ourselves a bit of time. Copy.

Copy. We've got Norris 5 behind. Let's watch for him, please. He's on a time lap. Let's box now, Jack. Box now. We'll have a chat about where we are with balance. Copy.

Norris 2 behind time lap. Jack, we'll do a pitstop on the way in, OK? Once Norris is through, we've got Albon 5 behind. Watch for Norris, please.

Next car pushing Albon, 5 behind. Boxing now, practice pitstop.

Albon 2 behind. Clear behind him. No other traffic.

That's good. Boxing now. Practice pitstop. No launch. Clear of traffic.

Box, box. Box, box.

No launch, no launch.

Okay, mate, so we'll get a couple of comments when we're plugged in. Just before we're plugged in while the radio's still on, just have a think to yourself about what you think about the bigger setup option that we've got as something to try for the second round, okay? We'll discuss it when we're plugged in.

Okay, so DRS down to 9, please. Going to keep 160 kph reference, 9 and 10. I'd like to add some weaving 10 to 11.

OK, so a little bit weaving down to 11. OK, that's good. Tyre temperature is looking better this lap. We've got a good gap in front. Just need to prep the surface last couple of corners. Recharge off at 14. Good to go. Brake shake three, please. Brake shake three.

Turn is pushing.

OK, recharge off. Going for double cool.

So, no traffic behind at the moment. Hulkenberg on an outlap. Antonelli will be pushing this time. He has prepped his first lap. So, Antonelli four behind time.

Antonelli three times. We'll have a chat about balance once Antonelli's through.

That's good, so nice and steady as before. How was balance, please?

Yeah, I have to say I've been in general underbalanced. I just don't feel like I have much overall grip. Okay mate, understood. We can do a flap adjust if you like. Another turn, turn and a half.

Maybe go a bit bigger. Yeah, we can do that. Yeah. What do you think? Maybe even two turns.

OK, so we'll box now for a flat adjust. Copy.

So we're clear of traffic behind. We are boxing now.

OK, Jack, so we're boxing now for flap adjust.

Sainz, the car behind, is on a slow lap, nine seconds, so no traffic at the moment. Jack, in sector 3, we need to watch for entry instability caused by trail braking, OK? So, adding this flap, we need to make sure that we're not going to upset that even more. Copy. OK, Jack, so we are boxing now, boxing now for a flap adjust.

Pierre's also doing a flap adjust, OK, so just roll in behind him. Pierre will pull away and then we'll pull. Let's do the adjust, OK?

Yeah, we'll be going straight out. Okay, so Pierre's first lap on the soft was a 16.8. 16.8, okay.

So, slow pace as before.

OK, Jack, so at the moment there will be a scenario change for the third lap. We're a little close on the margin for that one as well. OK, so let's focus on trying to get this one right. Hulkenberg five and a half behind time lap. Correction, Bortoletto time lap five and a half.

4-0-0-3.

To clear behind next car pushing is Stroll with 7th behind.

Stroll. All behind him.

Stroll 2 behind.

Hamilton in front will be doing another slow lap.

We're going to use DRS and start to push off to turn 10. DRS, push off to turn 10. Go in front to Hamilton.

OK, places to final lap time. Entry turn 1 and focus on the exit of turn 4, OK? Next car pushing behind, Esteban. Ocon is seven seconds behind. Got a good gap in front. Front surface recharge off. Ocon four and a half behind.

OK, recharge on. Double cool.

Albon, three behind. Watch for him. Time lap. Albon coming through. I don't know if you can see, but that's the max with what I got. Like, I'm on the edge of spinning most corners. Yep. OK, mate. Understood. So we're going to double cool and go for one more. I don't want to add any more flap here, mate. OK?

Fernando six behind. He is on a slow lap now, I believe. We will have Russell coming through. He's about eight behind.

We're going to scenario 8 for the next lap. Watch for Russell. Three behind. Coming through. Clear of other traffic after him, as of the moment. We've got Antonelli pushing now. Correction, he's about five behind. Antonelli, two cars back. Three behind now. Time lap.

Okay, so Stroll behind is on a slow lap behind but keeping his pace up. We're going to drive through the pitlane, Jack, but I don't want to make another flap adjust, okay?

I don't have enough load.

Repeat that last message, please, Geoff.

Uh, you can wait. Okay, no worries.

Okay, so we're going to box and drive through the pitlane. Please check box and drive through the pitlane.

Box to drive 3. Box to drive 3. Boxer.

So, margin, Jack, at the end of this lap isn't going to be much to the flag, it's only going to be about 20 seconds or so, OK? Be reasonably tight. Copy.

Can we go to scenario 8, please, Jack? Scenario 8. You'll be clear pit exit.

Next car pushing, Tsunoda, 5 behind.

Time lap? Time lap three seconds now. Gap behind him is six seconds to Hulkenberg. He is just finishing a time lap.

So, we are clear of traffic behind. We are. We've got Esteban on a timed five behind. He's two cars back.

Esteban, three behind time lap.

OK, Jack, so I don't really want to give up any more places. We'll keep our margin steady. We've got about 30 seconds margin at the moment.

So, same as earlier, we're going to pick up our pace at turn 10, have to go past any cars in front you want. We're using DRS. Copy.

Two cars to go in front. Good position here. DRS down to 11.

No cars pushing behind. Only Pierre to go.

I suggest we hold this position. Jack, 27 seconds to the flag. Don't let anyone through. Let's go now, please, go now.

Okay, I'll recharge off. It's the chequered flag and we are going to the grid. Going to the grid. Okay, so we can cool the car down. A couple of switch changes to make.

So a couple of cars behind might just keep their pace up going to the grid as well, so just watch for them. Got Leclerc and Russell two seconds apart.

We start off with scenario 1, please. Scenario 1.

That's good. And then finally, PU13, position 2. PU13, position 2, P8.

P.U. 14 position 2. P.U. 13 position 2, please mate. P.U. 13 position 2.

That's it, perfect. Okay, and we're going to the grid. We'll be doing a start on the left-hand side with two burnouts, please. And then we'll push to pit entry, same as we did before.

OK, so go for grid 2 Barnabas. Start on the left and push to pit entry.

OK, Jack, we're going to push until turn 11 and then recharge on and make a bit of a gap to be in.

Recharge on. Making gaps appear.

So, Pierre's going to do a practice pit stop. We'll just roll in behind him, please. Roll in behind him. Copy.

OK, switch off when you come to a stop.
