OK, so there's a green light at the end. Just confirming this is no start. We'll just roll straight out.

OK, mate, so people are being advised to leave sort of seven, eight second gaps here, so it's going to take a moment just for this to clear out, but let's leave a gap ourselves and let's just work on our hot lap.

There's two more cars in front of us about to leave.

This is about four and a half seconds ahead to Fernando ahead. Five and a half, so he's in a good place here.

They just sit there behind you, so much trying to be fricking a bit harder and understeer.

You can choose DRS here.

I think it's parked here.

OK, recharge off and put the brakes on.

Electric recharge prompting.

Happy with a slow cool-down lap here. I've got Piastri who's starting a timed lap. He is about six seconds behind Pierre at the moment.

So, we are in sync with those around us. First, our starting time lap is Russell in turn one now.

I'm not sure what track now coming through.

I need to let Pierre go. He's on a harder tyre here than us.

Hadjar on a time lap now, two seconds back. Hadjar one back time lap.

Let's just try again here. We've got Verstappen one and a half back. Verstappen coming through in a moment. He's two seconds back.

How about recharging? We're thinking double cool here.

Just for reference, Pierre's last lap was a 16.48.

Hirakawa just left the pitlane behind us two and a half back.

We're happy to go through the pitlane here. Here are cowers on and out. Let's see if we can let him go. First car pushing is Hadjar.

Just watch Antonelli, look what he's doing here. He's just coming through now.

Test here, please, so aero P12. You can go down on that from 1 down to 12. So aero P12, please.

So this is the test for the pneumatic.

So keep pushing, please. No DRS down to turn one. Just keep pushing down to turn one.

OK, mate. So, the question here is, do we think we're going to learn anything on another lap on this tyre? I'm not sure we are at the moment with these tyre temps.

So, we've got Norris about five seconds back. He's on a time-lapse.

I think if we're massively down on the lap, we can abort. Let's do double cool and we'll drive through the pitlane.

Okay, mate, so we need some aero cruisers here. We need aero people here.

Next one. Okay, and then aero P5, third gear, after turn 8.

Thanks a lot. So aero P3, 6th gear. P3, 6th gear.

Okay, so let's box this lap. We will not do the lap test.

Clear behind time lap. Let's just come up one step on the mids. Let's go to mid 4, please. Track is clear behind, sorry for Piastri there.

Right, so Hamilton is 6, 6 laps from the time. That will take DRS down to turn 10. There will be a couple of switch changes to do. Hamilton three and a half back time lap. Hamilton one and a half back time lap.

So, let's go back to brake 3, please, brake 3. Clear track behind. Let's go to tyre 2. You've done that.

No threats behind.

Let's go. Recharge and let's push.

OK, so this will be double.

We've got Pierre on a cool lap here. I'll let you know if he's starting a time-lapse. Tsunoda just exiting the pitlane on a lap. Yeah, driving through the pitlane.

Can I house the balancer?

Copy that. Happy to go for 86 here as well if we need to.

Main losses to Pierre with brake release in turn 5 at the minimum speed through turn 10 for reference. Pierre did a 14.75.

Now we've got Antonelli on sustainable six seconds back.

Just a quick breakdown as well, Pierre. About a tenth and a half sec to one, three seconds back Antonelli. Sustainable.

We can let him go. Russell two seconds back on a time lap here. Let Russell go.

So, let's just come in nice and slowly here.
