So, build your gap or pit exit.

Hulke car behind. Completed. He's just hit the pitlane now. So target plus four. Flirt completed. First car on a lap is going to be Verstappen, currently 26 seconds.

Gap to Kimi is four seconds currently.

He's got a good clear track ahead of him though.

Verstappen at 13 seconds.

We'll be clear in sector 3. Kimi has six seconds. Hold on, we've got a yellow flag turn 6, so let's keep an eye on this. So, this is going to go, because it's a red flag, a red flag. So, strat 1. Box, box. So, Tsunoda in the barrier turn 6. Get the other set of tyres ready. Affirm.

Actually, these are probably okay. These are probably okay.

Just as we haven't set a time, let's put the other set of new ones on, if that's OK, just to keep it consistent.

We're happy to just take a look around these tyres now and then go out on the set again.

Go to the fast lane.

Yeah, so make sure you just stay within...

7F, I need to take neutral again.

Oh, someone's just sent a...

We're still holding. We'll go neutral for now.

So please select first gear now.

And when you get down there, so it's currently 90 seconds, so just stay tight to where in your positions.

Yeah, what are we like on timing? Do I need to push past anyone on the outlaps?

I've got about 12 cars in front of me here.

So, first priority will be just to do a good first lap. So, do what you need to do for the tyres to get a good first lap.

Keep the engine running. It's 45 seconds. Yeah, Afer, we can keep the engine running.

So we can switch off for now. We'll have plenty of time.

So it's still 20 seconds to green light. I'll just let some of the cars ahead go.

That's a green light.

We're happy to fire up now.

So, just build your gap in the pit exit. Are you sure we're going to have time for a second lap here if we need it?

So cars ahead leaving about eight second gaps.

Can you get back to me on the timing? Yeah, it just depends on how much of a gap everybody leaves here. So we just focus on the lap. At the moment it looks OK. Just focus on that first lap to start with.

So, just build a normal outlap here. You've got Hulk just starting a lap and then Bortoleto.

Hadjar just opening a lap, then 15 behind Tim to Albon. Gap ahead to Kimi in time C.

We've got Albon just coming past now. Gap ahead six seconds. Albon at two.

That's it. Once he's passed, you can follow him. Gap to Kimi at eight seconds.

Target plus nine. Big gaps ahead of all the cars ahead. So expect this to be clear. Please sign. Sixteen seconds.

Sign set 12.

Good gaps ahead of all the cars ahead, so this will be clear in sector 3. Sights at 8 seconds on a lap.

Sainz up five, you've got ten ahead, now four behind. Three. Two seconds to Sainz. He's got Ocon six behind him. I'll be Strat 2.

Clear behind. Strat 1. Just keep pushing off this inlet.

So, currently P3, just waiting for others to finish. Verstappen has done a 15.2.

16 currently. Bortoleto on a 16.6, now Hulkenberg 16.5.

Stop any marks and switch off. Just keep an eye on the away bridge lights.

And have you got another lap in these tyres, George?

I think so. I think so. It feels better than FP3, that's for sure. OK.

Obviously these tyres are going to be pretty hot. That's the only problem.

Yeah, we'll give them another look round.

It's pointless, mate. The attempts are too hot. How am I going to do a lap?

Diff entry 9 is available.

Have a slonger until VFRAC.

So we've got about 35 seconds to cross the safety car line 2 to make the outlap.

Keep me posted. AFM, so Sainz opening a lap. Five seconds. Four. Three seconds to Sainz. Two seconds to Sainz on a lap. Behind that, Ocon at seven. Six. Five. Four.

Ocon at two seconds on a lap.

Pre-eight position nine.

Can you just give me a push of the timer, Timmy? It's not really updating anything. So, we've got 42 seconds left. So, we need to be on that delta. We've got Stroll on a lap at 7.6. I'll be improving that. It's not going to be B-5. So, let's box, box, box. End of this lap. Stroll at 5 seconds on a lap. So, box, box. There's a yellow flag now, turn 4. So, box, box. Keep our way, bridge lights.

Four seconds to Sainz. P3, just three tenths to Norris. Two seconds to Sainz. Clear behind him.

The front end is still working out a lot in 9th, but I probably wouldn't want to take much of that.

Let's have a discussion on P3. I appreciate you giving me that lap. I hope that lap is good enough.

Yeah, if I want to get back in, we'll discuss that.

Box, box. Stop any marks and switch off. Keep an eye on waybridge lights.
