So it's VSC, VSC conditions.

Shouldn't have been too much longer, just waiting for it to clear.

A VSC addict.

So, all clear ahead.

We'll be at straight two next lap.

Gasly at two seconds, starting a lap.

Target minus 10.

Diff high speed available if you need that.

So, Piastri and Bortoleto just completed a lap. That's Carl B. Hadjar at 10.

George, just confirm you're happy with a single call here. Yeah, just six seconds on a lap.

Turn out three and two.

You've got Norris at four, sorry, two.

And that's Tsunoda at 4.32 seconds.

Franco Colapinto at 5 on a lap.

Pin turn out. Carlos Pinto has backed off. So it's Lawson at 8.

Seven. Six.

Four seconds to Lawson. Three. Two seconds.

And Leclerc at six seconds on a lap.

Three. Two seconds. And then Ocon at four seconds.

And then it will be 11 seconds to Bearman.

Give me the tyre temperature.

Minus five.

OK, copy. I'm on a 4-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3

Completed. Target minus 13, then Norris at eight seconds, opening a lap. Now six.

Now six, five, four, three, two seconds. I've got Colapinto at 6.5.

So reset B-Bal and then Leclerc at nine seconds on a lap.

0-0 on single or double. Didn't feel bad for single, but safe for three didn't feel amazing.

Target minus 15 for Bearman at nine seconds on a lap.

So, got Piastri at 12 seconds, opening the lap.

Straight ahead.

Target plus five.

Piastri now at nine seconds.

Six seconds ahead of Tsunoda. Stroll and four ahead of Stroll.

Piastri had eight seconds on a lap.

Geometry now at six, four, three seconds.

Next car is Lawson at 11 seconds.

Nine seconds to Lawson.

Gap ahead is eight seconds to Tsunoda.

Tsunoda at seven. He is going though. He'll be strapped to. He's got a head seven seconds.

That Lewis, nine seconds. That's his placement. Oversteer. Keep on it. Drop some balance, Alvin. When we come through the pitlane, drop some balance.

Yeah, we'll remove that. Stop on your marks and we'll do a flap adjust and go again.

So, we've got Albon alongside on exit. He's on a slow lap. Hong Kong coming through. Four, three, two seconds.

So target minus 10 for start of lap.

Is the wind picked up? No, not really seeing anything in the data. It's been very, very light all day. 17 seconds to Leclerc on a lap. You've got eight ahead to Lewis, who's got 12 ahead of him. That is to a gaggle of cars, but they're curing out quite quickly.

Track is clear ahead of Lewis.

Gap ahead is five. B-Strat 2 next lap. Gap now six.

What the fuck is going on in turn 7?

We'll take a look. Cruise mode's on the in-laps. That'll be cruise mode 4, exit of turn 2, please.

It's like as soon as I turn in, it's like the heat's fully open or something. I've got no grip, let's see.

And then cruise mode 5. Exit turn 5.

Verstappen, 11 seconds on a lap.

Stepping out four, sorry, five.

L4. Box, box. Stop on your marks and switch off. Verstappen at three seconds.

Good on the box and good speed in it.

Straight out, you've got Bearman and Ocon just starting a lap, coming past now, on at two seconds, opening a lap, and then it's clear.

Target plus three. And that's turn seven.

Colapinto ahead 11 seconds on an outlap.

Nine seconds ahead to Colapinto. It's going now. We'll be strat 2 next lap.

Gasly one second behind.

That'll do. Double cool here.

Target minus 16.

I feel the brakes just not fighting turn 2.

So we have green 8, position 8, sector 1, so to Lewis it's three tenths, but to Sainz and P2 it's just over one tenth. Sector 2 is 90 milliseconds to Norris, sector...

So, yeah, to Lewis it's one tenth in turn one. The rest of that time is all straight line speed. And then sector three is two and a half tenths to Norris, who's fastest, but 160 milliseconds to Albon, who's P2.

You've got Sainz at eight seconds on a lap.

Front right just looks a bit cool in turn 2. I've got sight at 2 seconds now.

So let me know if you need a flap adjust or pass through the pitlane.

So, Hadjar next car on a lap, ten seconds.

Hadjar, two and a half behind him.

Albon now three seconds, opening a lap. Albon, so two behind him, just completing.

So, Norris at six seconds. Jazz just completed, sorry.

So, targeting minus three for start of lap.

Two seconds and then Ocon three behind him.

Stop on your marks and switch off.

And I'll just head to the left at the front.

There'll be two burnouts and then white point defined, just restart, end of pitlane.

So we've got Sainz at eight seconds of consecutive, I'd imagine.

Clutch was on target.

Copy that, so Bearman ahead was a 24.8 last lap.

Yeah, it's not great behind us. Those gaps are all ahead of us at the moment.

So Lewis on that hard tyre was 24.2, 25.5.

Green 9, position 4. Green 9, position 4. Norris is on the medium. He's doing 23.4, just for reference.

Should get five full laps here.

Happy where we are. We have to ignore that.

Behind him, Hulk is an outlap and then Gasly at four seconds.

Gasly now at two seconds.

Sainz, 26 seconds. He's the first car to take the flag.

So taking the flag and then coming back round for practice start.

Target minus 25.

I'll be coasting from turn 11 entry.

That will be left-hand side. Two burnouts.

It will be Strat 5 for the launch.

This clutch was off-target.

So, box, box, practice pitstop and switch off.

And good on the box.
