Okay, so we'll make a gap at pit exit.

Yeah, sorry, just got to do a quick switch change when you can. Can we have phase one at the multi? Phase one on the multi. It's on the right-hand side, about three o'clock.

Perfect, thank you. So we can make that gap in the lead car, Leclerc, turn 10.

It's actually Leclerc at turn 13.

It's a normal hour from this point.

Positive plus two on the there.

First car pushing Leclerc. Eight seconds. Time lap. Big gap behind me.

Leclerc's three behind time-lapse.

Okay, so we're just sticking with the normal outlap procedure. Don't worry about the temps on the dash. Next car pushing. Ocon 11 behind and then another big gap to the next car.

Plenty of space in the front as well.

And use DRS.

Clear track ahead. I've got five behind me.

And recharge on. Double go.

Bortoleto finishing a lap behind. No traffic.

Nice and steady on the way round. So, before we get to balance, everyone out on the medium tyre except for Franco and Stroll on the hard. Eleven cars have set times so far. We are P3 at the moment. Leclerc's fastest, correction, Fernando now fastest, 14.25, 14.25 on the medium.

How's stability? Quite a lot better. Good improvement from P1. Just quite a lot of rotation in P9 on this lap. Felt a bit odd right at the apex.

We'll have a look. In the meantime, would you like to try a flap adjust? Think about as this tyre wears, maybe drop a turnout.

No, no, I think that was good. It's actually quite a good improvement, so I was a bit surprised. It's okay. We've got Russell pushing six behind. We need to watch for him. Still going to drive through the pitlane this time as well. I'll bring those jumps down. Russell three behind pushing.

I have no grip under braking.

Okay, that's good. And box now to drive through.

Clear behind. There's a fox to drive through.

Okay, so driving through.

Exit here. Main places to gain apex turn 4 and then middle and exit turn 12.

Everyone out there, double cooling.

Thirteen seconds of the road. It's Albon and a group of four cars. Might be worth trying to hold on to this if we can. Got Antonelli. Yeah, he's...

It's Verstappen pushing 10 behind Foxing this time, please, to drive.

OK, so pit exit. We've got Norris finishing a timed lap. Franco leading in front. We've got Aston behind. Clear pit exit now. Normal outlap, please. Norris in front. Likely double cooling. He'll be on the fast now. We're targeting zero on the dash for this one. Zero on the dash.

Plenty of space now, so normal lap.

No-one pushing behind. Everyone on outlaps.

Norris and Tsunoda further in front, they're going to pit this time. Fastest lap on soft so far, 13-0 for Russell, same time as Verstappen and Norris.

And use DRS to 10.

Steady on traction. Push the last two corners. Franco going this time. Good to go.

OK, recharge on and double cool. Recharge on, double cool. P5 with that time at the moment, fastest still at 13.0.

So, can we go SOC 2, please? SOC 2.

No tyre problem. That's good. So cars behind, we've got Fernando seven seconds and Hadjar close together there on slow laps. Leclerc with them as well, also cooling. I just found, just now, I felt like something went under the floor. It's strange. Understood. We'll have a look at everything outside. Just from turn three to turn four, I just heard some strange noise. It was going slow, so it's strange. Understood. It could be gravel there as well. We'll have a look at everything, but nothing concerning for the moment. OK, so nice and steady. Bring these temps down. Going to drive through the pitlane once again. Hadjar behind is on an outlap. He'll be pushing next time. No need to hold him up.

Yeah, everything aeroside looks good to us, no concerns for now. We'll have a look when the car comes back in as well.

OK, so after the last few laps completed, P8.

P8 at the moment.

Just over a tenth would get us up to P5 again. Not Fernando Antonelli and Leclerc all within a tenth of a second.

I have the biggest loss. I guess turn 7. Yeah, exit 7 is the main one, right? Let's see what we get this time after another cool lap. Let's see if we can learn something, at least at the start lap, if it drops away or abort box.

Okay, cars behind Hadjar. Correction, Hadjar going slow as well. No traffic at the moment in phase with everyone.

Two burnouts, if you can, please.

Being on the quicker side of these procedures will help with track position.

Recharge all.

Okay, we've just got Verstappen 4 behind high fuel. Just watch for him, otherwise clear him from double recharge. Good to go.

Good work. I'm pushing for power.

Okay, Pierre, let's think about doing about five laps. If you've got a feel for the tyre before that, let us know.

Diff exit 10. Diff exit 10.

Increase management to 9, please. Another step there.

Please exit. Increase management in three as well, please. Another step there also.

OK, Pierre, we are going to pit stop in two laps time, OK? So, two more laps and we'll be in.

Try second gear to 10.

OK, Pierre, box at the end of this lap, please. Box at the end of this lap.

Are you happy with one turn down? Stop.

Medium tyre, one turn down.

Red, green and red. Sorry.

Let's just cover up a bit. They're trapping us all. We need to push them. Okay, so we'll come out from Verstappen. Yeah, it's alright. It'll cool itself down. We'll push from now. So Verstappen pushing 1.5 behind. He comes through. Four seconds to Hadjar.

So, all good. Pitch up for now. Pushing proper.

OK, behind Hadjar is an eight second gap, Rickford.

OK, good gap now. Five laps remaining. Correction, six laps remaining.

OK, happy with tyre management. Five laps to go.

Page looks good at the moment. Yeah, keep it up.

It's like slapping mid to high 20s on this tyre.

Plus one on the dash, don't look after the rear, it's plus one.

Okay, Pierre, two more laps. Stay to zero, please. Let's push this tyre a bit now. Stay to zero, push the tyre.

And last lap. Last lap.

OK, that is the checkered flag.

What I'd like to do, Pierre, is go for a slow lap to the grid, please. I want to open up the gap to Franco, who's about eight cars up the road, just so you both get a practice pit stop in. I'll bring tyre temps down as well. Copy.

And call the car in the process, please, as well.

A bit of a mixed bag out there in what people did. Almost everyone flipped between the medium and the soft. It was quite a mixture of times, but everything looked good to us there. How was it?

Yeah, I think on the medium it's pretty good. I'll try to push a bit.

Doesn't really bring more lap time around the laps. I think it was one approach in one.

Autocom tomorrow as well. So, we are going to the grid, please.

We're going to do one burnout and a start on the left-hand side. We'll push to pit entry. In terms of your practice start, the beginning of the run, drop was on target and a very good drive out to feed in a tiny bit late. Other than that, great.

OK, so we recharge off, burn out, start on the left, push to pit end.

Okay, thank you very much. We will get a couple of comments just before you jump out. I'm back in the garage.
