I'm pretty sure it's back on.

Russell from Hulkenberg, you can turn and pick up.

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

Is there only Hulkenberg to go in front of? Five cars total on the hard tyre zone.

So, push the next lap. Recharge off. Gap in front three. Four. Let's go.

Bit recharge on. So, Ocon behind has finished the time lap. Next car pushing will be Hadjar, who's about eight behind.

Hadjar all behind now. Time lap. And then we'll have Norris, the next car pushing. Hadjar coming through now. Norris, two and a half. Once Norris is through, you're clear.

All right, so fastest hard tyre at the moment, 1 minute 6.6, that is Stroll. Piastri, 1 minute 6 as well, B2.

OK, how was the balance initially?

Yeah, there's a bit of traffic at the high speeds.

I predict that this morning. Understood.

So suggests the top right modifier for turn 3. Need to try it for another lap after this. Revert to double cool if needed.

Everyone that could run the hard tyre has done with the exception of the half-scars at the moment. No-one pushing behind.

Hulkenberg in front on the medium tyre. Not sure if he's single or double cooling. Got a good gap though.

Happy to try for the next lap. If it's not there at turn 1, we'll convert to double.

OK, recharging on. We think double cool for the next one. Let's see where we are then this lap. So we've got Ocon. Finished the time lap behind. Norris will be pushing though. He's about three back.

I have to clear behind now. How was that on the second lap?

A little bit better. Stressed the A-speed up. Struggling on the exit of turn 6.

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

OK, so there's a standard outlap from here.

Partial throttle down to 3 and down to 4. No DRS. Who's the guy ahead of me? Ahead of you is Ocon. And then Franco in front of him. Behind Antonelli, then Hamilton. On track. Lawson has just finished the time lap and he's at turn 1. He's the next car behind. No one pushing behind currently, so he's been out of that bit.

So, 150 kph six and seven.

Still clear of traffic behind me.

So, when you brake, shape three and then we're good to go.

I need a recharge on. So we're going for double cool and we're going to drive through the pitlane to help tyre cooling.

Antonelli behind has just finished a time lap. Stroll pushing three back on for Stroll, please.

Okay, clear of traffic behind.

Check, please.

The poor upshift there is just due to a wheel slip, so I suggest just delaying the upshift there. Just watch for cars behind, so I'm keeping their pace up. Possible traffic from Albon 4 behind. Piastri close with him as well. They've backed off Sainz pushing three and a half behind now. Sainz 2.

Clear traffic now. Can we go SOC 8, please, SOC 8.

And we're going to box to drive through the pitlane. Would you like a flap adjust for the next lap? For the moment, with Peter.

Tsunoda keeping his pace up behind on an outlap. Four seconds.

Clear of traffic behind, so we will box now to drive through.

Fastest time, Norris, probably 4.6.

That was a bit insane.

I'll give you a little more info in a minute, so boxing now to drive through, please.

Split with sectors is very similar to what we've seen before. Biggest loss sector 1, then 2, then 3. Stroll in P3 has done a 1 minute 5.0. And then Hamilton in P5, 1 minute 5.5. So a couple of tenths would get us up to P5.

So, driving through. I'll go for a steady outlap from there.

We've got Hamilton leading the pitlane, Albon and Norris on slow laps. No one pushing.

It's still clear of traffic here. I've got good gaps in front.

So we'll try and focus just that last little bit of recharging. Happy to do that from 7 onwards as well.

What's Albon doing? Albon's on a slow lap. First call.

Hamilton behind, slowed up as well. No-one pushing behind. They're in a good spot.

First time, five and a half. If I try and get an aero cruise, if we can, please aero P3.6 gear out of three.

Finish so we can go recharge off and push in from pit exit. Bortoleto on the start-finish straight. That's one and a half behind. Russell eight seconds back.

Can we go diff exit 12? We're good to go. Diff exit 12.

That's good for us, we'll target 18 laps.

Can you check if it opens properly on turn 6, if I can fix it?

Okay, so diff is behaving as expected. We can open high speed. Prove that if it's pushing. I'd probably lower.

I think that's a lap and we'll lock it up.

So, then open up to high speed.

Let me know the pace, because I'm far from you.

For the moment, keep going at the pace you are. We'll keep you updated.

So, for reference, we're a little bit quicker than Hadjar. Lapping high 1 minute 10s and Albon, similar times for you.

Albon and Sainz both on the hard tyre, so I'll keep you updated on their pace as we go.

Albon on the hard tyre. One minute, 10.11 amperage.

I lost the MBS turn three exit.

Right, I'm on the medium tyre lap in one minute 10.3.

They're happy to manage a little more turn 9 and push turn 10 more.

Gap behind six seconds.

Make no more DRS from this point, please.

Oversteer please. Also a bit of a mixed bag with DRS use, but pretty good compared to our one on Sainz. Similar if not a little quicker.

I want lap time from the others. Copy, two seconds.

So, Albon, 2.3 second gap in front of him. Earlier 1 minute 10.3 last lap. Want to do the same this time.

Side sink, clean air. Last lap 1 minute 10.15.

Franco on the medium bobbin at 10.6.

I don't know where I'm going.

Four laps to go at the end of this one.

So let's think about tools, let's try and balance it out.

Four laps to go. Let's try a small increase in that lift and coast again. Try and help on track.

Hadjar on a hard tyre, lacking a little bit, 10.8.

Guys, there's something broken on the cars. The disaster is turn 1-10-6. Can't understand. All over the place. Understood. Let's try and work with it now.

But one cool lap and see if it's the tyres because it's terrible. Right, just watch for Piastri. We should get two more laps after this. There's a fairly decent stream of cars all about two and a half seconds apart coming through now, so watch for them please. Hamilton at 2, then Lawson, Antonelli and Verstappen, the next four coming through.

Okay, so Antonelli and Verstappen close behind. Three seconds to Hulkenberg.

OK, three seconds behind Hulkenberg. It's your best gap. Two more laps.

That's the chequered flag, so pull the car and the tyres please, we'll be going to the grid. Let's do a stop. I think something is broken on the floor or something.

We're looking through everything still but still don't see anything out of Ivan. Let's go recharge on, please. Charge on.

Okay, mate, so we're going to the grid. We're doing a start on the left-hand side, please. We'll be doing a single burnout and then pushing to pit entry.

Single burnout. Star on the left. Push to pit entry. We won't be doing a practice pitstop this time, so just roll in behind the other car.

I'm rolling in behind the other car.

Oh, it's directed, it's comments when you plug them.
