30 seconds to the green flag. A few cars down there at the moment.

Happy to leave the engine running here. We'll just do a few radio checks around the lap as we were expecting a few dropouts, mainly around turn 16, 17 area, so we'll check around there on the beginning of the lap.

We've been in green lights 10 seconds into the session. Cars will start moving now.

Sainz ahead is limp at the moment. Sainz ahead is reporting he can't get to full power, so let's try and get through him, please.

Yeah, copy. Turn 910 all out, please.

Radio check.

OK, here is where we're expecting a bit of... Take-off, please.

6.30, radio check. Copy mate, so a decent stab on the brakes here, please. If you recharge, offer us a way for these three cars to go ahead of us.

OK, mate, if we think temps are a bit high here, we can go into a recharge lap.

I suppose I'll just get a recharge on here. We'll try and cool up here. Lawson behind, also in sync. He's just got a time lap.

Just first lap from Pierre was a 47.9.

Let's just watch Fernando push you through behind here.

So just looking at that lap to Pierre, sector one where we saw that little slip, the apex of one. Turn 5-6 is the main area, minimum speed relative to Pierre. It's about six tenths in that sector alone. The last sector is two tenths. So mainly focusing on turn 5-6.

Overall, we think we could go brake bias plus one on your dash and then brake two.

That's a global. The red signal of the cars around us here, mate.

If we just manage operating steps in sector 3, just bring your nose up, please.

Happy to keep this on the slower side here, just help those tyres come down a bit.

Yeah, copy. We're looking at data here. May I just try and get back to you on that one?

Right, just watching Leclerc. Three seconds. Mackey Mark gone, another push-flap pistol. Leclerc back.

Clare, one back time lap.

That would be the mess you want to put into that as well in betas. Let's make sure we get a good gap here. No threats behind now.

So I'm going to recharge off here.

First day of polish, mate. Can we go to scenario 8, please? Scenario 8.

Just as a reference, Sergei's lap there was a 47.0, so good improvement for us there on the second lap.

Yeah, something orange you run when you check out.

This is having a look in T1. Pierre is also reporting struggling getting out of the corner in one as well. We're having a look at that.

It's about a tenth in sector one, currently to Pierre sector two. We're just a touch faster in sector three. We're just looking for about a tenth as well, mate.

OK, mate, so we've got Leclerc pushing four seconds back. We'll come back to you with some...

So, we've got Leclerc, he's behind Piastri at the moment, so a couple of cars back, he's on a time-lapse.

Back top now. So it's just looking at holding a little bit of peak pressure in turn 5, just to slow the car a bit more. Albon is next car on a time lap behind Piastri. Sorry about that. Back to you again. Albon now the car behind two seconds back. Time lap.

I'm happy with brake release in general, just five we just could do with stopping the car just a little bit more on the way in.

Bit more speed. Tsunoda, next car on a time-lapse, he's just coming through Piastri now. Tsunoda now, the car behind two back.

Okay, so partial control 220 down to T5, please.

Lewis, just watching Hamilton, five back on the last lap here. So we've got Hamilton, four back. It's either that or a push in that, mate, so let's just watch Lewis.

Here's one and a half lap time. Let's let him go. Clear track behind.

Five and a half seconds out, six seconds out. Lewis, happy to pick the pace up from here.

Peps looking good, happy to push now at least and stop at turn 18 as well, please.

I'm going to put the recharge on. I'm struggling with these temps down here. Hadjar is the first car about to start the time lap, just coming to turn 18 now. Albon leading the pits ahead of you. How is the balance, Emi?

Hatch out. Okay. Two seconds back. Hatch out coming through now.

Everyone else is out laps behind us here. These guys are sustainable runners. Let's try and create as much gap as we can. So we'll have a look at those comments there.

I'll come back to you on some switches as well, just trying to help that wash out.

Just Lawson, now the car behind. Five seconds back. We'll give you some switch advice. We need sock three when you can, but Lawson two and a half back time lap. Lawson one back time lap coming through now. Russell out lap behind. Sock three, please. Sock three.

Piastri pushing fine. We need to focus on recharge here. Focus on recharge. Piastri three seconds back time lap. Piastri one back coming through now. Pierre out lap behind.

Hamilton to Leclerc through his honour, pushing out lap. Stroll is the next car back on a time-lap four seconds back.

Let's try a one-hundred side.

What circle do we want? Sock, pre-mate and full throttle where you can to help this pack, please. So there's a big gap to the cars behind. 13 seconds back to Norris on an outlap.

I think the exit of turn five is just costing us a six. We're just running a little bit wide. Exit of five, which is hurting us at six. Six exit is okay. We're just a bit...

OK mate, for the pack we're going to have to do a second cool-up I'm afraid here.

Let's do a second one here for the pack. Let's just watch Fernando here. He's starting a time lap behind us.

Yeah, mate, unfortunately. So we've got Hamilton, sorry, Alonso behind is an ex-car on a time-lapse. Are we learning anything?

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

I have nowhere to put my foot.

OK, copy. So Stroll behind has just completed time lap.

Can we just toggle brake charge, please? Toggle brake charge.

Pierre is on an outlap ahead of us. He's on a seven-tyre run here.

I think we need to open a gap here to Pierre, because he is on a, he'll be on a low fuel run on the soft tyre, so let's try and get away, please. Yeah, he needs to open the gap.

Camo, we've got, yeah, five seconds back on camo. We do not want to hold him up so we might just call you to move out of the way and then we'll continue our run. We've got lots of time on this run here.

Right, now I've got Pierre, the car behind, four seconds back. Can we just let him go before turn 12, please, mate? Just get through here and let Pierre through before turn 12.

And thank you very much. We have scenario 1, B scenario 1.

That we recommend. Torque 11, global. Torque 11, global for the lap.

So can we have SOC 6, please. SOC 6 for the next lap. SOC 6 for the next lap, please.

I just need to focus on trying to stop the car just that little bit earlier and rolling less speed entry to mid, which is causing a few issues on exits.

There's a group of cars here stopping at the starting lap on the brake.

Let's check and flag, check and flag, so if they recharge, I'll try and pull the car here a little bit, please.

Can we just prepare for an aero cruise, please? So the aero P4, sixth gear, after turn 4. Let's just try and make a gap to Pierre as well, if possible, please. So aero P4, sixth gear, after turn 4.

I'll see if we can't just make that a little bit more gap, please.

So, yeah, thank you for that. So, it's going to be two burnouts here, please. So, before we get to it, it'll be two burnouts on the left-hand side to start. We're going to be doing a practice pit stop at the end as well.

Let's just keep pushing. I'll let you know if we need to back out.

Am I happy with the gap? Okay, so let's just keep pushing.

Confirming access lap plan. It'll be a practice pitstop. It'll be a double stop. Pierre is just coming into the box now.

Copy. I'm going to push up the A string. So, reminder, entry procedure.

Thank you very much for that tricky session. Just to give you a quick idea, we did a 44.85, we added a 43.92 later in the session, so it was a bit of a tracky run there. We've got some stuff to look at in the office. We'll grab some comments when we're plugged in.

2 seconds. He did a double cool as well. There's a 45 in the line.
