Okay, so ten seconds to go. We'll be driving straight out, so double yellow all the way round to turn two at the moment.

So by the time we get off track this should all have cleared.

All cars on medium tyres at the moment.

OK, so double yellow is now clear.

And we have VSC out. So lead car Hulkenberg is at turn 10. Clear pit exit.

I have track clear.

So we can go flat after three, more of a pushy outlap, grip those dampers up. 180 speed record, seven and eight is a good starting point.

OK, DRS is down to eleven.

Two cars to go in front. No traffic behind.

I think Hadjar's going front now in his four seconds.

Out of pits, go when you're ready.

Point recharge off. Russell starting a time lap five behind point B.

And clear. Franco behind on a slow lap. Next car pushing Verstappen, 8 behind.

So I have to keep this lap nice and steady. We'll see where we are towards the end of the lap. We want to do single or double. Verstappen is three behind now. Timed.

Clear once Verstappen is through. Everyone behind on slow laps. Fastest lap, Sainz, 13.9 on the medium, 13.9 with E7 for 15 times at the moment.

We're all good for traffic at the moment. Next car, Hulkenberg, pushing into turn 3.

We'd be happy to try single-cliffs first. I'll get another lap in early. Yeah, hopefully. Hulkenberg, five and a half behind now, timed lap. Got to watch me.

Once he's through, you're clear. Next car is Norris. He's going into turn 8.

That'll be good. Only Hadjar to go in front. He could double cool next time.

OK, recharge. I'll have a double pull from now.

We'll go for one more, see where we are. We can always adjust for the last lap.

Okay, so straight out. So on track we've got Sainz going into turn one. Now he's just finished a time. So you're clear now. So tyres on the low side. Let's keep a fast outlap if we can.

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

Okay, so Leclerc in front on his first cool-up. Correction, that was easy. Clear ahead and good to go. Recharge off. Franco will be pushing next time.

OK, recharge on and double cool clear behind, so tyres don't start on the cool side there.

Let's go for another lap on this, probably a bit more representative. What do you think about a flap adjust for second lap? Clear behind.

I'm getting a bit of everything, so I don't even... Oh, understeer, understeer.

Let's do a second lap with the tyres in a better window. Yeah, understood. Just keeping steady. We've got Norris at turn one, next car pushing. He's 14 behind. He's on the soft tyre now on his first fast lap.

So we recommend the back left modifier turn 9 and 10.

So, Norris, four and a half time lap.

Okay, Pierre, so because the tyres start quite cool, we'd actually be happy to push the next lap. Temperatures are actually quite sensible.

Okay, so clear traffic behind track 11 and 12. You're good to go in front.

We're going to box now for the soft tyre, Hulkenberg 2.

And we've got Franco on a time now on the soft tyre. 7 behind. Almost everyone on the soft now.

Turn to flap, we're going to go one, turn up, unless you disagree.

OK, so soft tyre, one turn up, going back on track.

So we've got Leclerc just finishing a lap now. He is a slow lap behind, so we'll clear cars in front on out of all slow laps, so we're in phase with them.

Can we use scenario 7, please? Scenario 7.

Double cool, nice and steady. So, in terms of balance and flap, we've got...

OK, Pierre, so you'll be clear pit exit. Running to the end of the session. We should get 10 time-lapse.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

So, Russell, three laps into his medium stint, lapping low 16s for rest.

Brake check, 5. Brake check, 5.

I'm happy to increase pace seven and eight.

Exit at 12 when you can. Exit at 12.

If there's anything to do at 13, I'll have to push over.

Have to increase turn two as well, if there's anything there.

Six time laps remaining. Stay to zero, please.

OK mate, five more laps. Happy to stay here. Stay to zero for now.

Make loss compared to others. Exit turn 2 into 3 and turn 30.

You can't even take that, man.

Well, it looks OK to us. Let's map out the car behind Hype Fuel.

Understood. We'll keep looking.

That rear left tyre is quite warm. Consider a bit of saving in 7th.

Last lap, last lap.

OK, I'm going to check the bike so we can start to cool everything down now.

OK, Pierre, so we're going to go to the grid.

Going to do a start on the right-hand side.

Yeah, when we get to turn 9 and 10, I'll try to do that front axle overslip this time if you can.

OK, thank you for that. Recharge on, please, for the last few corners.

Very good. OK, so we'd like a single burnout, please. Just one burnout, a start on the right-hand side and then we'll push to pit entry.

We are the second car. Franco's already on the grid. But I'm not sure yet whether we will do a practice pitstop. I'll advise when we get there.

We've got a yellow flag at turn one. Looks like Verstappen could be beat there.

Double yellow at turn 1. Just continue for now, please, as planned. Get a red flag, no overtaking.

We have a yellow on the start finish right now. Taking the procedures for the moment.

OK, for the rest of the lap, we'll simply go practice pitstop.

So box now, practice pitstop.

So long, folks.

Leave a couple of comments when you're all parked in before you jump out.
