So we'll be effectively eight car on track, kind of middle of the group.

Ready to build some temperature on this outlap. Going into fast, slow, fast sequence.

Mostly hard and medium runners so far. Only done on the soft.

Can I have a quick radio check for me as well? You're a little bit quiet, but I can't hear you at the moment. Okay, so three cars to go in front, no one pushing behind. Two cars to go now.

No-one pushing behind. Two cars to go still.

He's made a gap. Recharge off and go. Fast, slow, fast.

I'm going to recharge on single two.

Tsunoda, three and a half behind, has finished a time lap in sync with him and Stroll.

Happy to keep these slow laps fairly steady. No-one pushing behind at the moment. Fastest time, 7.8 for Stroll.

Next car pushing behind.

All right, it's clear of the track at the moment.

Yes, so the runners so far, we are down two tenths sector 1, three tenths sector 2, two tenths sector 3. That's compared to the best in individual sectors.

OK, so on the next lap, we're going to go from scenario nine to scenario ten before turn three, and then back to scenario nine again. I'll give you a reminder. Watch for Russell, four behind pushing. Russell, time lap three behind. Two, three, four, five.

So, as well as that scenario, we've got the option of the top right modifier turn three as well. Okay, so only Stroll to go in front at this point. No-one pushing behind.

Scenario 10 before turn 3. Recharge off. Make the gap to Stroll. Good to go.

So watch for Fernando behind. Three seconds pushing now.

We could have Tsunoda pushing as well. Tsunoda 5 behind.

Gap behind in five seconds to Piastri time lap.

Once he's through, we'll have Albon, who's two seconds behind him. So, a couple of cars to come through here. Gastry, then Albon. Gastry, looks like.

Then Ljuganovic, time lap about 80 behind.

Time in front. Only him to go now. Viganovic, four behind time lap. Viganovic could be doing multiple laps in a row here.

Cars behind might be starting laps this time as well, so it might bite you for position. It's got Antonelli to go and then we're good. Hadjar on a timed lap six behind, so just watch for him.

Airbrake charge off. We're going to try for a single cool again and we could have Stroll pushing five behind. Two cars back, watch for Stroll.

Yeah, I said I really struggle turn-free braking on this lap. Understood. Thank you, that was clear. Okay, we'll have a look at turn-free braking.

I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90.

Okay, mates, so 13 cars on track at the moment, so middle of the group. Hamilton just finishing a time lap. He's at the last corner now. I have Antonelli and Verstappen at starting times, so we're just going to need to watch for them.

So Antonelli at turn one now on a time. So standard outlap from here, please. Antonelli three behind.

Antonelli two behind. Time lap. Clear. Cars behind on slow outlaps. Clear track in front as well. Next car pushing is Verstappen. He's the only other car pushing behind. Three seconds. Brakes in five seconds.

Sight of the wind has shifted slightly, a little more of a tailwind out of turn one now, Rick Rowe, tailwind out of turn one. Verstappen, three behind timed lap.

Verstappen one and a half. Got a yellow at turn 10 with Verstappen, Alonso stopped on the exit. Double yellow turn 10. So let's just hold five for a moment, please, to see if this clears. It's cleared, DRS enabled. We're good to go for our first lap.

Thank you for watching.

I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90.

OK, double cool. Sainz four and a half behind. Possibly pushing.

A couple of cars to come past the sign. Keep your eye on your mirrors, please. Sainz, two behind. Again, keeping his pace up. Just watching him, please. And then we've got Hulkenberg on a time lap. Three cars back. Hulkenberg, two seconds now.

P2 at the moment.

Copy, turn 3, 1 and 3 reverse, go a lot. Copy, just watch for Fernando, please, 2 behind now.

Bortoleto quite close behind him.

That's a Bortoleto pushing two behind.

Next car pushing Hadjar five back.

I'm three behind.

Passing. Clear.

I really suggest going torque 11, please, for the next lap, so torque 11 now.

So just stay nice and steady.

Fernando, he's backed off on that last lap. Let's see if he's pushing this time, might keep it slow for the rest of the lap. We're going for another cool lap after this.

Behind Lawson, first slow lap. Could be the case he's pushing next time.

Lawson behind double cooling and then three and a half behind him is Bearman. He will be pushing next time, so just got to watch for Bearman.

Second bit slower. Please just keep it nice and steady for now.

It's a Bearman three and a half time lap of the Bearman race.

So keep it nice and steady. We are in a quieter part of the track at the moment. A lot of cars around turn 4.

So behind in phase with Lawson and then behind him Ocon has just finished a time. So no traffic threats at the moment.

Yeah, sectors? Yeah, so just look at that purple sector 3 for us. We are two tenths down from Russell, best sector 2, and a tenth and a half down to best sector 1, which is Tsunoda.

OK, mate, so behind us, Baganovic, about 11 seconds is on a push lap. Mike Worth is trying to keep in front of him, if we can. Only Sainz to go in front.

I just need to focus. Exit turn 1. Sainz in front is on his second slow lap. He'll be pushing this time. The Ganovich 5 behind time lap.

Just in terms of traffic, we are clear at the moment up to Bortoleto, 7 behind, who's pushing now.

Okay, so recharge is off. Good to push straight from pit exit. In terms of positioning, we've got Fernando in the middle of a start-finish straight, about four behind. Good to go now. Scenario 3, please. Scenario 3.

That's socket 6. When you can't forget to go to socket 6.

Go for lap 12, Stan. We have four. Copy. Nothing big on the radar.

OK, nine time-lapse. Keep us informed on those drops if they go worse.

I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90.

Ocon just leaving pit exit now. Gap behind Fernando is five seconds on pace to come through.

Can you check the diff and check the car feels steady? Copy.

OK, diff exit 11. I should fix that. Diff exit 11.

Any possible drops continuing for the rest of the session?

Gap behind me. Scenario 2 before turn 3, please. Scenario 2 before turn 3.

I've got a good gap behind me.

So we'll get four more laps after this one.

So we're going to keep flicking between scenario 2 and scenario 3, 4 turn 3. It's a repeat of our engine test.

Oh, there's still a big 0.9 because I'm fucking slow now. Yeah, average pace by competitors, low 1 minute tenths.

This is just the baseline. Two more laps. Stay in scenario three now, please.

OK, mate. Last lap, stay scenario three.

OK, that's the check flag. Recharge on, please, to cool the car.

OK, we are going to the grid to do a stop.

Okay, mate, so continue to cool the car on the way to the grid. When we get there we're going to do a single burnout, just one burnout and a start on the right-hand side. We're then going to push to pit entry and do a practice pitstop.

OK, Max, I think time is perhaps initially a little bit slower for everyone than we expected most cars in or around the time that we're running out. We'll have a look in a bit more detail when you get back. So single burnout, please, and a start on the right, then push to pit entry.

We have a lot more disc.

Good news, mate. This is my next of the nerds.

Perfect. But you are not really pushing normally, so let's see when you are pushing. No, no, last time already on the all-lap I entered like a lot, so now it's ok.

Here we go again.

It's okay, it's okay.
