Tons of room on the exit. Good job. Okay, so we'll be going straight out. If we can leave a gap to the car in front, please. Five, six seconds, that would be helpful.

Okay, so first car on track, Lawson at turn 18 now. Some cars pushing this time. 10 seconds back then to Lawson.

Good run. Down to turn three.

OK, Lawson, six behind.

Big gap in front of Bortoleto. That'd be a nice spot.

Awesome. Four behind time lap.

Awesome. Three behind, three and a half.

Lawson has a five second gap behind him to Hadjar.

Lawson, two seconds. Box, box, please. Box, box, box, box. We're stopping the car, please. Box and stop under the gantry.

CP, I'd like to go down with the club. Understood. We're stopping on the marks, please, and switching off. We'll bring the car back in the garage. I'll explain more in a moment.

Gap is 0.2. Okay, understood. I'll explain when we're back by plane. Stand by.

APO, one minute forty-five to the green light. I just want to get us out there at the minute.

To confirm, down the rearwards wide and big pressure on the safety, shape 5, right?

So that's brake shape 4 for that rearward shift. Brake shape 4. Under big pressure.

Yeah, so that's correct, so brake check four. You've also got the brake five on the top right modifier, which is for front blocking, which goes rearwards end of braking. Copy. OK, mate, so 35 seconds to go. Won't be long.

So I think, you know, we're looking at around 10, 11 time laps roughly to stay on plan.

All right, so we can build up some tyre temp.

I have no tyre temps coming up. Let's keep building.

Target tyre temp reminder plus six on the dash, plus six. They will keep coming up.

Good gap ahead. Have to keep pushing.

Do one more lap after this one.

Understood, so Ocon behind, just watch for him please. Pushing now. Two and a half back and Bearman 1.5 behind him.

Bearman possibly still pushing. Watch for him. Then four behind to Antonelli. Antonelli, I think, on a slow.

Update on pace. Understood. So P7 at the moment. I've got Verstappen at six behind time-lap. Two cars back, Verstappen, five seconds watch for him. So fastest hard runner, Verstappen, 13.9, 13.9. I'll give you a second break down in a moment. Verstappen three behind now, time-lap.

Main time to gain sector one to Verstappen. Just under three tenths. Sector two and three both one tenth down to Verstappen. The fastest hard round.

So, no cars behind. We've got a bit of a gap here. Happy to make a gap to Franco who will be pushing next time.

OK, mate, this is looking good so far. P8 still at the moment. Plan is fast, slow, fast, slow, fast from here and we'll see where we're at. OK, we've got a good gap now. Go when you're ready.

Okay, mate, so we're in the quieter part of the track at the moment, so that will help us later on. Bearman behind, just finished a timed five seconds. Should be nice and slow now. Keep your eyes on your mirrors, please. P8 for that time still.

Slow lap, please. Hulkenberg three behind. He should be on a slow now. Then we've got Leclerc pushing. Watch for Leclerc coming through now. And then Bearman, slow lap as well behind. Might keep his pace up.

OK, so we've got a big gap now to Bortoleto.

Who will be pushing this time? Let's keep this slow lap nice and slow. I'll bring those tyre temps down. One more push.

Time 13.04. Still the fastest hard tyre lap for Verstappen. We are P9 at the moment. He is P5. Watch for Bortoleto. Two and a half behind.

Okay, so driving straight up. I've got Lawson and Norris just starting laps behind now. Through and recharge on, please recharge on. Cleared, detected.

So, partial throttle down to three. We've got Hamilton behind, starting a time lap seven behind. Currently 12 other cars on track.

Hamilton, three behind. Time up.

If we can, we'll go recharge off after 8. Hamilton behind me is pushing.

Hamilton mic backed off. Yeah, that's good. What is that man doing, lad? So, Bearman in front. Slow lap this time. Should be pushing next time. Same with Norris front. We're in sync with those guys in front. About four to go. Four cars to go in front. We do have Albon on a time lap. Four behind. Let's watch for Albon. Name clear. No other traffic apart from Albon.

Now what, coming through? Quite a bit high there for the moment.

So, three to go in front. Leclerc on a time lap seven behind. We've prepped surface 18.19, that'd be good. Just two cars to go in front.

Leclerc for time lap. Clear behind him.

Single, yellow, two and three.

We're overtaking, we're overtaking. I don't know, it slowed down, I don't know if I was behind him. Watch for Hamilton behind. Yeah, it's tricky. It's all right. Watch for Fernando now, 4 behind him. It's all right, let's get ourself back down, we'll go for another push next time. Fernando, 2 behind.

The yellow flag at the wheel ends has stopped. I'm sorry, mate, don't worry. No, no, you're all good. Let's get settled down. We're good to go again next time, all right? So, we've got Russell behind on a slow lap and then we've got Sainz just behind him pushing now. He's about 9,000.

Happy to go up to 100% throttle here. Might be a little bit of fighting for position at the end.

So Sainz, four behind, timed lap, then a big gap.

Sides two behind. Once he's through, Hadjar, seven seconds.

Two cars to go in front now. Hadjar four behind, no one else behind him.

Hadjar, 1.5 from two cars to go in front.

OK, no traffic behind. Make a nice gap to Albon in front and then good to go.

Understood. Hamilton, four behind time lap now. Watch for him, please.

Two behind. So currently P10 without time. Fastest time 11.9 for Leclerc. We've got Hadjar on a timed five behind.

Hadjar three behind, then a five second gap to Albon. All good.

Hadjar and Albon are, actually Albon's backed off so once Hadjar's through we've got a clear gap.

Okay, so a major loss that time, early part of the lap, so I think you're right with the tyre warm-up, so this lap should be a little bit easier now.

Fairly clear in front. Nine seconds now. Antonelli and Hamilton to go in front. They're at 15. Nine seconds ahead.

Grip's good, so just Antonelli to go in front now as we leave a gap to him.

Yeah, that's yeah, I've had that. Please, say please.

Gotta start off the lap always.

All right, so P9 at the moment with that time. Fastest time still at 11.964, Leclerc. I'll give you a sector breakdown in a moment. So I have to go steady for the first part of this lap. 12 seconds behind is Verstappen.

We think double or call. Yeah, I'd like to try one of those next. So Russell, five and a half behind. He's on a time now, I believe, so watch for him. Three seconds back. That's a bit of a gap.

That's Antonelli now on a timed six behind. So, Pierre, the problem we've got at the moment is we're going to struggle to do double cool fast, double cool fast before the end of the session. So we're probably going to have to resort to a single slow cool lap for the second one, but I want to get a good read on this first one for Antonelli behind.

Okay, just watch for Leclerc to behind. So, fastest still at 11.9. We're still P10 at the moment. Cars in front running at the moment.

It's extremely difficult to be in position when the guys doing the pitstop as well, they are still not in. Yeah, it's very tricky, I appreciate that. So, front to back, you were about 10 short there, or 100 short. Slightly over on the right-hand side of the rear axle, I think, but yeah, like you say, very tricky. We'll look at the onboard overhead shots later.

That was about spot-on as well, I would say. And yeah, given the other stops around, very happy with that. Thank you. We'll get a couple of comments. Two seconds.
