Somehow it was clear that this was going to happen with such a light fire up.

So we have seven cars starting their push laps already.

Gaby is opening a lap now. Gaby approaching turn one.

Gap behind turn one.

And next car will be Leclerc. Leclerc eight seconds, pushing.

And you can go multi-A shift position three, multi-A shift three. Leclerc is four seconds behind Pusher.

And next is Sainz, six seconds pushing.

And current right now is Norris in sync with you.

Sainz five seconds behind pushing.

Sainz two and behind him is Albon. Five seconds pushing.

Albon, five seconds.

And the first car in sync with you in front is Hamilton, seven seconds.

Albin four behind, pushing.

Hamilton is in turn 17.

Albon three behinds pushing.

And track is clear from behind.

You can select multi-B spark four for the next one.

Quite a lot of understeer on the first lap. Continued to be so.

Yeah, copy. We'll see if there's something with switches we can do for the next push. And first car pushing from behind is Piastri. Piastri is seven seconds behind.

Car in front is Antonelli. Seven seconds in sync with you. Piastri three now.

And next car will be Gabi. Seven seconds for check.

Gap E4.

We can try entry minus one for the next one. Next car pushing is Leclerc. Seven seconds.

Leclerc, four seconds, and we can try special one for turn eight.

Also, come down on the high speed, where the high speed was very understeering. 11 or 10. I'll get back to you. Watch for Sainz pushing three seconds behind.

And we suggest high speed 13 and state 7. Let's spin. Next is Hadjar. Four seconds. Pushing.

Go to bad flat spot to the front left. Yeah, copy Nico.

It's pretty bad. Not sure we could run like this. Yeah, understood. We're also reading the vibration levels now. Looks quite significant.

Do you have a bit of traffic or who's pushing? Yeah, it's all clear from behind, so everybody's in sync with you.

Box is left. Yeah, we were just discussing now if it was worth trying to open a lap, but if you think the vibrations are too severe, then we can box now.

It's very weird because it's the outside front that didn't brake that late or...

Yeah, copy Nico. Let's box this lap.

I don't see...

Track is clear on pit exit.

First car on track is Stroll. He's approaching turn one now. Might be opening a lap.

And car behind is Bearman on a used medium.

Stroll is five seconds behind to push in.

And Stroll three seconds behind pushing.

And next is Lawson 10 seconds pushing. Lawson might be on constant push.

So in front of you is Gasly now. Stroll might be on constant push. Gasly's on an outlap used medium, so he might be building a gap for constant push. Lawson two seconds pushing. Behind him is Hadjar nine seconds, who should also be on constant push. Lawson is constant. Build a gap to him. Hadjar five behind.

So we can go charge button on. Car behind is Verstappen. Four seconds. Should be opening a constant push sequence now.

Verstappen, two and two seconds behind him is Hadjar, also constant pushing.

And next car pushing will be Albon. He is probably constant pushing as well. Albon, two and a half.

And next is Norris, five seconds behind. Push him.

Next is Sainz. Two seconds. Also constant push.

And next car pushing is Russell. Five seconds. He's on constant push as well.

How is the balance for you, Nico?

Still quite a bit of understeer. Okay, copy. Yeah, we can take some flap in this double charge.

Yeah, I think we're at half percent. Okay, copy. And next car pushing is Tsunoda. Five seconds.

Need to be stationary for some time. Pull the tyres, I think. Yeah, no problem there. We'll hold the car.

Tsunoda, two seconds.

And through the pitlane, Nico.

Nico, we are at the top of our flap range, so the most I can give you is plus 0.25.

We can try B-B plus one.

And we can consider special three for the low-speed section, 11 to 16.

And track is pretty busy at the moment with most cars on constant push. Doesn't look like there's a great spot for us to go out. It's all the same.

Shall we just park and wait stand-by until it clears up a bit and use that free window in the middle?

Yeah, I think this is also an option. Yeah, good suggestion. You can switch off and we'll bring the car in the garage.

First car on track is Hamilton. Hamilton's on the start-finish straight now. I think he's on constant push, six and a half seconds behind.

Confirmed Hamilton. Constant pushing. Three seconds. And behind him is Piastri. Three seconds. Also constant push.

Piastri, two seconds pushing and a big gap behind him.

And next car is Gasly, 11 seconds, constant push.

Brakes are very cold here. I'd like to do good. Copy, Nico.

Do your best to build some temp.

Gasly, six seconds, constant push.

I think this might be the best gap if the tyre temps can take it.

And track is clear from behind. First car will be Albon on pit exit now.

And car behind now is Antonelli, six seconds, constant pushing.

Antonelli two and clear behind him.

You can select SOC 3 for the next push.

How is the balance for you, Nico?

A bit better, but still on the understeer side. Especially the second half of the lap, we're losing the front quite a bit. Yeah, copy that. First car behind is Alonso. Eight seconds on a quali sequence. He's pushing.

So we can take another lap adjust now in the pitlane.

Alonso, three seconds pushing.

And next is Russell 5 on constant push.

Russell 2 and through the pitlane.

And what do you think about another half a percent aero balance, Nico? Yeah, okay. Let's do it.

Hold B again, we need to lose them. Yeah, will do.

And Alonso, lap time on his first push. New soft was 28.5. Sainz did a 27.7.

And we suggest special three for the low-speed section 11 through 16.

Yeah, it's just the beaming there for 14. I think it's not good. Got to be more front-looking.

OK, understood. We'll have a look.

I think it's good to go. Okay, happy to go.

And the first car on track is Stroll. Stroll is closing it up.

And we could consider brake balance minus two clicks and special three for that low stage section.

First car pushing will be Verstappen, 10 seconds behind. First lap, new soft.

We suggest B-B plus one.

Verstappen, three behind, pushing.

And the track is clear now. You can work on your brake temperature.

Car behind Hamilton is opening a lap now.

And next car is Antonelli, still on constant push. Antonelli nine seconds behind. Tell me what we're going to do now. Yeah, so I think we can pass through the pitlane and then send the car for some constant push laps, take the flag and the practice start.

One Antonelli, four and a half. Constant push. Why would you go through the pitlane? That's a red flag, Nico. Bearman crashed in between turn 11 and turn 12.

And Bearman's on the left-hand side of the track in turn 12.

Ferrari is going super slow. Don't know if there's a problem or it's going way below the delta time even. Okay, understood.

We will do a static pit stop practice, Nico.

Are we not going to restart? I don't think so. No, that car is still sitting there. There's one minute 45 left.

And for info, Nico, you were 10 centimetres long on your stopping position there.

Copy. Seems quite sensitive the brakes today to temperatures, low temperatures, more than any other weekend this weekend, when they just come completely...
