Green light.

OK, mate, so both Williams cars on the hard tyre, everyone else medium so far. We're not that hard. Both Williams, so Sainz and Albon. Everyone else medium.

So I have to use DRS to build some temperature.

That car has a lot of space to put...

DRS 14 to 15 as well.

Good, start with the brakes into 16, please, when you get there.

Good start to the lap when you're ready.

That's a little off the low side, let's see what we get.

OK, recharge on. Single cool. Not a good one with traffic there. That's OK. Yeah, I'll read for him. Thanks. Two and a half behind.

OK, next car behind him, Antonelli, six seconds.

So turn 15 is in high speed at the moment, so happy with that for the moment. Antonelli just coming through now, watch for him.

We recommend the back left modifier 16 to 17. Watch for Russell, please. Three seconds. He's got Albon close behind him as well. Two to come through, then a gap. After him, it's Franco. Four seconds.

I could not do better. I'll see you. That's all right. Watch for Franco, keeping his pace up here. Go one second.

Behind him, Stroll, also time-lapse. Stroll, three behind. Two behind. One behind. And three.

OK, next car pushing is Verstappen, about eight behind.

Just keep it steady for the last part of this lap. Fastest time, Norris 28.6 on the medium. Verstappen 2 behind now and then clear.

The only other cars that went out on the hard are the Astons.

OK, so we're going to keep it steady all the way down to 16.17.

15.17. We'll push those last two corners.

I don't know what happened. I can't believe it didn't go well. Sorry, what happened?

Okay, let it recharge on. So ideally for timing we'd do a single call here, but a very slow one, give us two

We're looking at around 2 minutes 50. It's about 20 seconds slower than your last slow lap. Watch for Sainz coming through now.

We're P9 at the moment. I'll give you sector information in a moment.

Right, so you'll be protected.

That's Lynn just going past pit exit now. Cars behind Paul Aaron at turn 15 on a used medium. Standard soft tyre out lap for now, please.

So partial throttle for now. So partial throttle, no DRS down to 6th.

So about 18 seconds up the road, we've got Verstappen on a soft tyre as well, on an outlap. And Aaron Eleven behind on a medium. He's pushing this time. The partial throttle down to turn 9.

It's like the road in general, this is where it's difficult. Understood.

So we think Aaron behind is going to pit. He's three seconds behind the time lap. He's going to pit this time.

OK, so we'll go flat out on DRS from now. We're happy with these differences. All good.

We are good to go. Just leave a gap to Pauling.

Who's that next lap? Yeah, okay, so let's just keep temps under control. We're looking for zero on the dash. We'll go again next time, all right? So we'll go for fast, double cool, fast after this one.

So, no traffic behind.

So, we're going to do standard outlap front now. I've seen a good spot here.

We're happy, if anything, to go a little bit higher. Targa can send a lap plus two on the dash. Plus two.

So, Fernando Verstappen just finished his first soft tyre lap. He was two tenths down in sector 1 on his medium best. Through sector 2 and 3, overall half a second quicker than the medium.

So you use DRS down to 15.

Couple of cars just leaving the pitlane now.

Still quite quiet out there. Good to go when you're ready. Just need brake shake too.

I've got offside. I've got no grip.

Shocking. Shocking high speed, it's just crazy. Yeah, all over the side. As soon as I turn in the rear is going absolutely everywhere. So I don't know, it's like everything is opening in the exit corner. Two cars coming through this time, please.

Okay, so Hamptor backed off. Bearman pushing now. Three behind. Bearman coming through. Then a gap. Then next car pushing. Lawson. Six behind.

Lawson, are you behind? No, I'm OK. I'm third so something is not working here.

Sorry, mate, can you repeat that, please? I've never experienced that, so there's something not working in the I-speed, Nurse.

Piastri, 4 behind this watchman, please.

A few cars keeping their pace up here. Aaron one and a half behind and then we've got Albon pushing four behind him.

I want to throw seven seconds to Lint Bad who's on a push lap now.

Okay, so Lindbad, two seconds behind. She's through. Yeah, can we just try another lap with reduced aero balance, please? We're just going to take a load out and see if it stabilises things. One for Leclerc, four behind now. Okay, so box for a flap adjust, please.

OK, mate. Apologies, but I weren't getting any messages there.

I'm going to box this lap. I'd like an aero cruise 5-6, please. Aero P3.

So, aero P3, 6 gear please, down to 6.

All the exits and a lot of sliding and I still don't really understand it. Yep, copy that. We're working on it.

OK, mate. So, for now, we're going to take out the session as much as we can. Obviously, this is medium tyre. I feel it's going to be tricky on this, but we're going to box now. Go for test item next, please. So, keep your pace up on the way around. Boxing now.

OK, so the player on a push-lap is ahead behind. Boxing now.

OK, so it'll be out, it'll be clear pit exit, and then boxing at the end of the lap, please.

Recharge on. Recharge on.

Box this lap, please. Box this lap. Practice pitstop.

Stop box and switch off please.

I can't reach the top of the bucket.

I don't know what you think, but I'll be tempted to go for a short run again, because I had nowhere, so I couldn't learn much.

OK, mate, so I'm a little busy at pit exit. I've got Hadjar just in turn 18 now and then Fernando behind him. Norris at turn 1, who's coming past you now. So Hadjar three and a half behind.

OK, so our original lap time target will be low 33s. Happy to see if that's achievable.

I'm actually going to try for three time laps after this one.

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

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

OK, I see the checkered flag. Recharge on, please, and going around to the grid to do a start and pull the tyres down on the way.

I don't think I need to say much. No, no, no. It's clear you're not happy.

Mate, so we'll take out this last bit while we can, so we'll do the start on the grid. Just need a single burnout for that. We'll get what we can from the energy deployment side of things, so we'll push the pit entry and we'll do a practice pitstop as well. We'll assess for P2, alright? Yep.

OK, can we go SOC 6, please? Can we go SOC 6?

Thank you. To the grid. One burnout and a start on the right.

No preference. Drop on target. Feed in a little bit later.
