OK, so when we get there, I'll be driving straight out.

About a six second gap on average to cars in front.

So recharge off and DRS usage where you can.

Anyway, don't worry if this isn't the perfect hour lap. We've got a couple of back-to-back laps after this one.

OK, mate, just need to recharge off the last couple of corners if you can and then we'll go two laps.

Yellow turn 1.

Double yellow where you are. Double yellow. Yeah.

Okay, happy to turn this into a form of prep lap. Push again next time, that's now clear.

We use DRS still.

So, using DRS. Good gaps in front now.

You have Leclerc pushing behind at five seconds.

Just going to recharge. If we keep our pace up from this point, it should be okay with track position.

Temperatures look good, so Sky4A pushing up now.

Happy to push for a second lap if you want.

Russell behind him.

Watch for Russell behind. Franco behind him has just finished a time lap. Come on, Norris as well. A few cars possibly coming through here. So watch for Franco and then Norris close behind him.

Two cars just behind now coming through, then a gap to Leclerc.

Franco Antonelli now pushing five behind.

Antonelli three behind the time lap and then clear.

Antonelli has backed off. Everything OK with the balance? Nothing too scary at the start? No.

Next car pushing, Albon, six behind, five behind now, Albon pushing.

I've got three and a half time below.

Let's go for another push after this. Three cars to go in front.

Clear traffic behind now and good to go when you're ready.

Quick recharge up. Watch for Fernando. Time lap now, three and a half.

Okay, so P4 at the moment. Fastest lap 14.5 for Verstappen on the soft. Next car pushing Hamilton. Four seconds for Hamilton. And then he's got Antonelli close behind him as well. Just keep your eye on your mirrors, please. Antonelli should have backed on, so just Hamilton.

That's good. We'd like to go double cool from here. Next car pushing, Russell. Two cars back. Six seconds.

When you take that turn 6, I had quite a big snot there. Yeah, I'll get that now. Watch for Russell, two and a half behind him. And next car after him, Franco, five seconds pushing.

Franco coming through, then Albon.

Albon has backed off. Correction. All clear of traffic now.

OK, would you like a flap adjust before the next lap? I've got Bortoleto 6 behind timed.

No need for flap, I just... Understood. OK, so we're staying out. Do another call. Watch for Bortoleto. Two cars back now.

Just keep nice and steady for the moment. Norris on a timed five behind.

Norris three behind, just coming through.

Albon, possibly a battery correction. Clear of traffic behind now. Apologies, Albon, I'm backed off. So, another cool lap. We recommend diff mid 5 for the whole lap. Happy to go up to that now.

So from turn seven we'll target a standard out, like watch for Albon might be pushing behind her.

What do you recommend in terms of braking? Zero or minus one? We reckon zero at the moment. Leclerc could be pushing three and a half behind now.

So we're just going to keep making the gap for the moment. Quite a lot of cars in front of us at this point. Bearman pushing five behind and then we've got a big gap after him. Let's make the gap early. Let's get a good push down to 13 if we can. There's quite a lot of cars looking to go next time.

Sector-wise? So, sector, currently P9 overall. Currently main.

He's been driving straight out.

OK, so we've got Fernando just going into turn one now. He's just finished a timed lap. Sainz start-finish straight now. He's just finished a prep lap. He'll be pushing. Watch for him, please. Three behind now. Big gap behind him.

Next car, Russell, nine seconds. Russell, pushing this time.

We're in the quieter half of the lap. We'll go for a standard out lap if we can.

Recharge operant DRS, 7-8.

So, Fernando and Franco in front on slow laps. We should be able to go past those guys, okay?

Recharge on, please recharge on. Russell, time lap four behind now. Watch for Russell. He's the only car pushing behind loads of space. And DRS. What's Monaco gonna do?

So, Franco's going to push next time. Fernando, if he does a single pull, could push as well. Watch for Russell, two behind.

Let's make the gap to Franco whilst Russell's through with clear.

No one pushing behind. Good to go when you're ready.

I'll push next lap. OK, understood. Watch for Fernando, he's behind, could be pushing.

So, it's slightly quieter in front of us on track, in front than behind, so we'll try and keep some positions if we can with this. Next car pushing is Stroll, about nine behind. Then there's a bigger group of cars between turns two and three. We'll try and keep in front of them if we can.

So Stroll pushing six behind.

Stroll four behind. No-one pushing behind him at the moment. Stroll three and a half.

Daisy Cups in front, Stroll three behind.

Try for a single core. Massive rear drag in the last corner. Lost the rear. Understood. P9 at the moment is looking good. Purple first sector at that point as well. Let's keep it nice and steady for this slow lap. We'll try for a single one. We'll see where we are. We'll attempt the end of the lap and convert to a double if needed. Russell behind on a slow lap.

I was looking good just last time. Almost two and a half tenths in the last corner. Yeah, copy that. Did I have rear lock or anything? I repulsed that the other day. We're just going to have a look now and see what's going on there.

So we recommend to go to plus one on the dash perhaps for that final corner.

After this lap, at the moment, Russell 13.5, that's on a soft as well.

Two cars have come in. A couple went out on a used soft just to do a lap or two. They'll be putting a new one on now, so we've got an opportunity for some clear running at this point. Hulkenberg behind now. A lot of background noise. Apologies, yeah, it's wheel guns. Should get better now.

We think double cool for that. Yeah, I'm happy with that, yeah. Yeah, okay. So Bortoleto 10 behind push lap.

Got a little worse braking into turn one.

OK, next car, Albon, five behind time. Watch for Albon coming through.

Time to copy the right comment. Hamilton seven behind. Also time lap now.

So we'll go for a normal outlap from now. Normal outlap from now. Antonelli three and a half starting a timed now for Antonelli.

Behind Antonelli, six seconds is sight. He will be pushing this time.

Sainz is very happy to push in front of any of the cars in front, going slow. They will be much slower than us this time.

OK, so start from the end to remember it's in that new spot this year.

Two burnouts, if you can. Two burnouts, if you can. We just need to put the multi-back tyre as well at some point.

Piastri, Antonelli just going into turn one now, hopefully clear behind them.

Top of recharge and good to go.

I think it's likely to be five tyre blups.

Five laps to go now.

OK, tyre manoeuvring is good for now. Let's give it up.

Reference car behind is Hulkenberg on the medium tyre. Three seconds. High fuel.

OK, we'll go plus one brake bias on the dash for turn 10 only. Rear locking.

Okay, happy to reduce management and push the tyre for the last two laps. Average pace out there seems to be around the 18.0, so let's see what this tyre can do.

Mode 8, please. Mode 8 on the Maltese at the bottom.

You've lost time lap.

OK, that's the chequered flag. So let's cool the car and tyres down. We're going to the grid now to do a start.

One of the first cars to get the flag, Verstappen, 12 seconds up the road is the first one.

Can we go to scenario three, please? Scenario three.

Okay, so going to the grid. For the start from the end of the pitlane, drop and feed in were good. Slightly overdriven.

We'd like two burnouts and a start on the right-hand side when we get there. Then we'll be pushing to pit entry and you can attack pit entry as well.

Repeat, how many burnouts and which side? Two burnouts right-hand side, please. Two burnouts right-hand side.

Box this lap. Practice pit entry.

Okay, mate, so we're just going to push you through, so you can switch off now. Franco, I'll do a stop behind you. If you want to jump out now, you can do, Robbie, I'll help you out. Okay, let's do that.
