Target plus 20.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

So, Norris is the car ahead at four seconds.

So, tailwind through the S's at about 10 kph.

There you go. Four seconds gap ahead.

That's three S's looking better.

Target minus 18 on your dash. No pressure behind. So we've got Verstappen P1 with four tenths to him. He was on the hard tyre. Main losses to Verstappen were late entry, turn 1, and then turn 9, mid-speed exit, and then turn 11, mid-speed.

It's also on balance, if you need a flap adjust.

No, it's quite a bit different compared to yesterday. OK, copy. So I will leave it like this. OK, sure thing.

So you've got Albon behind on an out lap, so no pressure behind.

The grass is cut. It's on fire again.

OK, copy. Just keep an eye out for a red flag in that case.

Diff high speed 2. Red flag, red flag. Keep the delta positive.

So we've got 45 seconds till green light, so we'll leave the PE running.

So, with weight in the pitlane, mainly just a little more pushing, but yeah, it looks like the tyres retained a bit of temp from that previous run. Fifteen seconds to a green light.

Five seconds.

So you've got one second ahead.

One, two, three, four, good to go.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

I think about B-Bal minus one to start the lap. Keep building temp.

You've got 30 seconds gap behind.

Still need to build some temp.

Six seconds ahead now.

Four and five. Good to go.

OK, Kimi, so we'll box box. I have lost at three seconds behind.

Yeah, one and a half behind Sir Lawson.

That'll be Bortoleto two and a half. Bortoleto car behind.

OK, next car will be Hadjar. Hadjar at five seconds, so we'll box-box.

Yeah, the big moment. Yeah, copies all that. Hadjar at one and a half.

Hadjar car behind. So yeah, 15 kph tailwind when you had that snap turn 6.

So it's a good improvement up to that point.

How much was I improving? Three tenths as previous.

Eleven was a lot better as well.

I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90.

You're going to have Norris at three and a half seconds.

Norris at three seconds. He may have just completed the lap, but yeah, it looks like Norris is back top.

So you go strat mode 7.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

And I'd recommend B-Bal plus 1.5.

So can we think about pulling that B-Bal rearwards at turn 11?

OK, we could try a bit more lifted coast. It's turn 16.

I'd also think about going up a different entry just for that corner. Turn 16 and turn 11.

We'll box-box. There you go. Strat mode 1. You've got Sainz four and a half behind.

So, good on the marks. Stop on the marks and then back in the garage.

Assisting law.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

So straight out. So you've got two seconds ahead. You can have Piastri starting a lap. He's nine seconds behind.

Piastri out six seconds.

Piastri at four. Piastri at three.

Piastri, F2.

Now one and a half.

Now, full clear behind.

So, just build your gap. No pressure behind.

One and a half ahead. Now two and a half ahead. Now three.

Four, five, good to go.

Thank you, Kimi. So we'll go for a double cool.

OK, so main losses, mid-speed turn three, mid-speed turn six, also the first part of Degner, so that's turn eight. And then first part of Spoon and entry, so mid-speed 13, entry 14.

Let us know what you think of the balance.

Ah, balance is OK to be honest.

So you're going to have Hadjar at five seconds.

Hadjar, one and a half.

Now two and a half behind.

We go for double core, right? Affirm. You can pass through the pitlane if you want to.

And happy with the rears where they are, just need to try and slide the fronts when you're opening the lap.

Man, this fire is so annoying.
