Just leaving turn 14 now, starting a lap. Lawson reasonably well spaced. Six seconds. Lawson going into turn one now. Next car, Bortoleto going into turn one. Watch for him. Pass now. Hulkenberg car behind. Four seconds. Time. Hulkenberg one. Full throttle on supervisor. Understood. Nothing big on the radar.

OK, mate, so we're going to push next lap. You know the score. No risks at this stage, please. The player in front will be pushing next time. He's on an outlap. Cars behind Piastri. Seven seconds time lap and a five second gap to Norris. DRS to 11. Piastri, four seconds. Only Leclerc to go. Piastri, two and a half. One and a half. Gap behind in five seconds. Norris, four now. Three and a half. Good to go.

What's Leclerc doing? Jesus. Watch Franco still pushing two behind.

Happy to try and push another one. Yeah. So watch for Sainz pushing three behind. So we're going to push next lap on this tyre.

Sainz is through. Albon's slow lap behind him, so good to go for another lap. Albon has aborted. Clear in front, good to go. One more push. This is the fastest lap? Fastest lap, 12.6 for Norris. No drops of rain, completely stopped now. We're good.

OK, mate, recharge on. We're considering single cool of one more lap on this tyre before the stop. Yeah. So, Leclerc, just watch for him, please. He could be pushing behind now. Three seconds. Might be pushing.

Great car behind him, Piastri, finished the time lap so all good there. So P9 at the moment, fastest time 12.1 for Fernando.

X-car pushing Bortoleto set up behind.

Plan for single-cool, one more push. I'll let you know if I want a ramp. Brake, ten minutes away. Bortoleto, two and a half.

Gap behind him, five seconds, Hulkenberg time.

This car pushing Franco five behind. Few cars on a coolant now pushing next time. Franco three behind time. Two behind. One and a half.

Standard out lap from now. We've got Sainz on a push lap.

Clear track in front. Let's push from now. We might abort at the end of the next lap, Pierre. Okay. Still get most of the lap in.

Box at the end of this lap here. A ball of box at the end of this lap.

I try and make the appropriate representative soft tyre one turn.

A lot of cars coming in behind you now.

Starting a time lap. Should be past you now.

So, Russell, just finish the time lap behind. Let's go to scenario 7, please, and stamp it out, lad.

Clear. All good. No more traffic behind now. No cars to go in front either.

Start with outlap from here, DRS 10 to 11.

OK, so straight on we get there. First car, Tsunoda, just going into turn 1 now. A big gap behind him. So I believe these tyre temps look good. So standard outlet for now, please. A little bit more push because it's a medium. All car so far on a harder compound. Piastri time lap, five and a half. 1.80 through 7.8. We've got a double yellow at turn 8. Hadjar stopped on the left-hand side. Double yellow at turn 8. Looks like he will get going again. Correction, stopped. He's got no power. This is a yellow through turn and VSC, VSC. Yeah, I propose we stay out. Worst case, turn this into a prep lap. It should be long before this clears because he's near an exit point. But no overtaking, no overtaking. Just remember, stay positive on the delta, no overtaking. Continue on for now. So he's getting out of the car now. Like I said, it should be long. Weaving is good, happy to keep that up as well. He's unfortunately having an issue on the 10-second up-to-pace for delta lap time. Unsure on that one.

It does look like he has some sort of no corrections, so it's all OK, just off the pace.

Good job keeping temp in these tyres. Just keep that up. It's just too much here.

So that car should be cleared shortly. Antonelli, we've been instructed to stay on the delta. Reminder the double yellow second you're in now.

You'll get a VSC ending, but it's too long.

Right, so, worst case, we go into a second prep lap and we'll beat it. Still do fast double pull fast on this tyre.

That's an early and perfect spot, isn't it?

Green lights on the main straight. Still the VSC boards. Understood, yes. Still very much a VSC now.

Okay, so I believe there might be a telehandler around that turn A area that's trying to move the car. It looked like it got stuck on something.

I'm going to recharge off for a moment just for battery temps. 6pm. Reminder, double yellow, turn 8.

There's only seven cars on track at the moment. Some might have bailed and ready to go on to the soft.

We confirm it's going to be dry until the end of the session. No rain expected for the next 30 minutes. Nothing in our path until the end of the session.

30 minutes of the session remaining. That car is behind the barrier now, expecting a VSC ending any moment.

BSC ending. Alright mate, so we're good to push next lap. Just wait for the track clear.

And it's fast double-crew fast for now.

OK, recharge on. So Pierre, if we do a slow lap, I think we should be good for just one full lap. I'll start a bit on the lower side.

So we've got Hulkenberg starting a time-lap of 10 behind. Yeah. Just if Rich can ask, um...

There is no problem, but the incentive is okay to do the qualifying today. Yeah, copy that. Hulkenberg, two and a half time. Sven, please.

It's nice and steady on the way round. Look to proper tyres 11 and 12 and then go for that. Leclerc pushing 7 behind him.

Possibly through a big gap to the next car pushing.

Piastri, four and a half time.

Can we go exit 12, please. That's for turn 2. We've got Antonelli sector behind. Exit 12.

We can go DRS down to eleven.

Clear. So we've got Franco on a time lap. Five behind now. We would like to box. Go on to the soft, please. Watch for Franco, three and a half.

Yeah, that's good. So, Pierre, we're going to pitstop onto the soft tyre. We'll go one turn up, 5-0.

OK, mate, so we've got Hamilton.

OK, mate, so we'll go straight out with recharge on.

So, it's going to be the next couple of cars might try low fuel laps.

Light soupy on high fuel, I think.

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

OK, mate, so we've got Lawson going into turn 1. We need to watch her and please low fuel. Two and a half. One and a half. Clear. Next car behind pushing Antonelli. Sustainable. Eight behind.

So we can keep the pace up, just recharge on a little bit longer. Antonelli, six behind.

Honey, no.

So, recharge off and it's good to go.

11 laps behind Antonelli, an eight second gap is needed.

OK, laps to go.

Pretty lap time. It's a little variable out there at the moment. Wait for everything to settle and let that price come.

There are a few cars out there lapping low 15s sustainable, so suggest different fuel loads maybe.

Brake shape 1, set 2 and 3. Brake shape 1, set 2 and 3.

Similarly to Tsunoda at the moment.

Russell and Tsunoda three seconds back. I think about one second a lap quicker. Five laps to go.

Russell comes past. He's got Norris two behind him and then a big gap for Verstappen.

Norris behind us going to pit this lap.

OK, last time. Last time.

OK, so that's the chequered flag. Recharge on.

Now I'm going to go round to the grid and do a starty. Let's cool the car, have my tyres, and wait.

Yes, so we'll be the first car to do a start. We'll be the first car on the grid.

We'd like to do two burnouts. I'll start on the left and then push to the pit entry.

How's the balance on that? Oh, you've got a second.

Yeah, that's it. I'm not doing anything but put on for the window, but I think it's doing good.

Alright, so two burnouts please. Start on the left, push to pit entry and we'll do a pit stop as well.

Okay, thank you for that. I will get a couple of comments when you're plugged in, if that's okay. Okay, you got that.
