So let's make sure we use this as a bit of a practice here. Let's just make sure we're positive on the brakes here.

It's a normal outlap through 6-7 here. Weaving in DRS down to 8. Let's try and maintain that gap to Pierre.

A couple of weaving down to 11, this is 4 for Pierre at the moment.

Need shape 3 after turn 11. Stop.

Let's push it back.

So recharge on single cool here. We might just return the favour here, so I'll just let you know if we're going to swap cars around for a tow for Pierre. We'll try and give you some help on that turn 1 lock-up as well.

Copy. Try and modify your already B1.

Turn four. It's the one that was planned with you, Chris. We do think maybe just a touch rearwards in Bison. Will you just go past Pierre, please? Let's go past Pierre.

So we're going to return the favour here. Yeah, so as discussed, maybe just a little bit rearwards, maybe with that wind direction change just pushing us a little bit into one.

If we just maybe just open the gap a little bit, please.

I'm cooling my tyres. Tell him to open the airbag. It's only one cool.

Happy to go to shape 6 for the last couple of stops, please.

He's opening the gap now.

Saphir is going to start pushing from 10 for reference.

We're happy to push from 10, adding in some weaving.

That's a good stop into 11 and then straight 3.

Commit to recharge on single call here. Happy to invert the cars again. We'll see if you want to try tow next lap.

OK. We do think maybe a little bit rearwards, one click rearwards, might help some brake bias in turn 1. Just sort of knocking us almost on the edge again there. Let's just watch Sainz starting a timed lap.

Once the sign's come through, next car starting time lap is Norris.

Norris three back coming through Pierre now. Norris coming through.

We think high speed 10, turn 11 only as well.

It's the next car pushing Albon four back.

Albon, two, one. Okay, Albon coming through, but you think you might have a bolted hit.

Let's just make sure we don't lose position to Pierre here, buddy.

Well, we can take the time from now on as well.

So it's a little bit of time loss. Minimum speed turned to seven at that lap. Your last lap was a tenth quicker than Pierre currently.

Right, so it'll be pushing and then incorporate some weaving after turn 10. Hadjar, five back time lap.

Hadjar, one back time lap.

Just need to think about opening that gap here as well, please. Pierre's going to start pushing also at 10.

Piastri is pushing three back.

Piastri, one track, pushing, good brake in the last corner. All happy with our switches now.

Copy that. God bless you, Kurt.

There's a lot of traffic behind here.

There's no room to sync with those behind here.

Push the next lap, maybe? Yeah, let's just focus on recharge, please, mate. Let's try and go again next lap. We are in sync. We're happy to push again.

Make sure it's still clear behind.

Yeah, I'll just push you through to Steyr's lap. Stroll out, lap behind now.

We want to try and take a tow from one of these guys ahead as well.

OK, man, let's just watch it actually one second back. One second back.

That's right, I pulled back.

One second, Snowden coming through.

OK, we're beginning to get into difficulty with time. Just watch Hadjar to back. He's pushing here. Hadjar, slow lap.

We are actually gaining quite a lot of PA on the braking at turn 1, so whether we're just over-clicking the braking in 1 and locking the fronts there.

I will try a bit more rearward. Yeah, come, I'm happy to see that.

We're happy with the standard outlap and weaving where possible.

It's quite a bit of vibration.

It's not huge on our numbers, but let's just, we'll monitor here. Let's make that gap to Hadjar three and a half at the moment.

Good gap. Let's recharge up real quick.

I think we need to box this lap for timings here.

Stroll three back tight lap, two.

Right, so we're going to have Pierre pushing. Piastri is next car back starting a time lap. He is six seconds. Then after him is Pierre pushing. So Piastri, four, three.

Come on. Midstream now. Half the night. Five seconds to be here.

I set the gap. 4, 3, 2, 1.

One, coming through now, 12, second gap to Albon, out lap.

In general, just think about the balance there. Think about whether we want to make one of those changes we talked about in the office.

From outside it looks a bit better in low speed.

It's still the same track, but better. There's more connectivity car and more stability in high speeds.

Copy. Again, we want to do one of those bigger changes. We need to commit to it early here.

Not sure if I'm looking for what it brings.

Change shifts. Yeah, I tend to agree. To be honest, mate, with the data, it looks like what we did has helped. Quite a decent jump.

So we're going to have a pit stop here, no launch. Pit, cool, reminder.

Reference, that was 25.0 box entry speed. A little bit on the higher side. As soon as you're plugged in, we'll grab some comments from you. But I tend to agree, I think let's think about some other changes. Turn 1-2 look better in our numbers.

So Antonelli is the first car starting a time-lap behind us. Tsunoda ahead is on high-fuel. We're happy with the standard out-lap from here. Antonelli can five-back time-lap.

So, Antonelli three back time lap. We'll have weaving down to turn 8 and 11, please. Antonelli two and a half back. Antonelli one back. It might be sustainable here. Let's let him go though and make a gap, big gap behind.

So happy to make a bigger gap here. Please make a bigger gap here and we'll push down to 11. Antonelli could be sustainable here, mates. Let's make sure we make a decent gap to allow us to drive through down to 11.

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

Right, so Hamilton's starting a time lap now. Three back, Leclerc behind him. Single call here, please. So Hamilton, one and a half back, time lap. Leclerc, five seconds back, starting a time lap. Leclerc behind is just completing a time lap. Let these two cars go. Big gap behind.

Let these two cars go and then we've got a decent gap. Do our tyre warming here.

So the improvement is what we were thinking probably with track Evo there. But how did the balance feel?

Very low speed I would say, with a lot of chattering in 6, a lot of chattering.

Very similar, I would say. Read more pointly in the last corner.

We could always come halfway back in the next two runs as well. Braking improved in one. Looked like a good improvement on time.

Yeah, better. I think still at the edge with the front, but...

So Sainz high back is on an outlap. Can we go to 6 if we can, please, and 2 decent. Great. So we've got Sainz 2 back. He's on a fast outlap. So let's let him go. Russell 3 back time lap. Russell 2, 1. Coming through now. Tsunoda behind high fuel, 6 seconds. After Tsunoda, there's a 19 second gap. So we could make a gap here and then push down to 11.

Right, so high speed 10 could be an option for turn 11 support as well.

Okay, so Antonelli high fuel 14 seconds back. Happy to make this gap to Tsunoda. Good pair, seven and a half.

Can we get some brake temps, please, into 11? Weaving down to 11 as well.

Let's keep ahead of Antonelli, who's five back, he's on high-vehicle. Decent braking to 11. Pre-set in 8.

Right, so recharge on. Antonelli behind his high fuel, three seconds back. Big gap behind him. We're going to box this lap.

Wait a second, here is outlap behind.

Oscar Piastri is clear behind, no threats.

That looked like not a bad lap on that Asian tyre there, mate.

My tyre for 6-7, I think. Slightly helps the front tyres. Yeah, we tend to agree with Emma, it does look a little bit better for the front tyre. Let's just watch, I think, Sainz's slow lap, sorry, behind him. Albon is the first car, he's just coming into turn 4 now, so we're going to box this lap.

Mate, just watch Albon. Five seconds time lap. Albon. Three, two, one.

One. Connect. Clear behind after Albon's threesome. Box is slapped. Box call reminder. No launch.

We're at 17.5, so that's kind of the speed that we're targeting there, mate, so good stop. As soon as you're back in the garage, you'll grab some comments and I'll explain where we are at the moment, etc.

He's firing up a white thing.

I'm just going to creep out, see if we can force a few people to go.

I'm just going to wait for Clarence to come. He's creeping out.

Come on, let's jump at the back of this.

There's plenty of time in the plan for a call fast here.

A couple of cars just beginning time-lapse from behind. Pretty much everyone, however.

11 already through on a time-lapse. The next car is going to be, or she will be, Hadjar.

Correction, nil complete at time lap behind us.

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

So, standard outlap, full throttle down to 4. Hadjar has just completed a timed lap behind.

Take a gap to Piastri in front, so standard outlap up here, full throttle down to 4, we'll be weaving and DRS down to 8, down to 11.

156.7 please. Let's just watch Hadjar coming through.

Okay, so Hadjar, we think is going to be pitting ahead. Let's just try and push up the gap so we can get on to over to Piastri.

The Hadjar going through Piastri now. We're about four and a half behind, so that's good. Three behind now, so it's reset shape after a good stop at 11.

I've got Leclerc starting a timed lap now. Good lap there. We are matching Pierre's lap time there, so Leclerc, Leclerc, Leclerc.

Hamilton pushing as well. Hamilton two back pushing.

Once Hamilton's through, he's coming through 1 now. We are then in sync with everyone.

I'm not going to make it, but I'm going to give it my all, so thank you very much.

Yes, but it wasn't very friendly at all. Can we re-sync with those around? Sock three, please. Sock three.

This is double cool, right? Affirm, double cool, double cool. Brake change to 6, please. Change to 6.

I'm not sure if you picked up all the gravel in 5 or 1. I know we lost a bit of time in 5. That's basically our main loss. Leclerc's just run wide at 7, so there might be some gravel when you come through exit 7 as well.

I think, balance-wise, it didn't look like a bad place. I'd be happy to just stay on track here as well, please.

Yeah, it's just understeer still.

Anywhere in particular or all over.

Let's go to mid three. That should help in the low-speed areas. We'll just come back to you with some switch options for the higher-speed corners.

The car ahead is doing a double call through the pitlane. I think I prefer to stay out of the track.

OK, I see you. So we could, turn A, we can come down one step on entry. And keep using the modifier. So Hadjar, six seconds up the road, just leaving the pitlane on an outlap. So if we push up to him a little bit, we can...

It's really far. I don't see a console. A couple of metres pushed on a bit, I think, yeah.

Should come out through pitside. Yeah, I saw that. No, no, I won't.

Let's just focus on ourselves here for this last lap.

I'm going to need a little bit of brake temperature.

Got a standard outlap half turn seven, so weaving in DRS. Bearman, five and a half on time lap.

7-1 coming through now.

The next car pushing is Albon. He's behind on the driver. He's about six back.

Albon now, five back time lap.

Albon, two, one. A decent stop into 11. Some brake temp, please. And then reset shape. Albon coming through time lap. Yeah, five back time lap.

Recharge off Verstappen. I think maybe time lap behind. Let's just let him go.

Okay, Leclerc's next car to try and lap that five and a half pack.

Cleared for three-back time-lapse. Two.

Flare coming through now. This is 15 seconds to the chequered flag, mate.

I'm going to drive around and take the checkered flag and we'll go and do the start on the line just completed the tight lap. So, just for reference, Pierre's best lap was a 20.25. You're currently P14. Pierre currently P17.

Agreed. Car looks a little bit better today. I think you can actually do something with it.

If we can, can we try aero P3 6th gear after 10 if you can?

I'll be checking the flag, so we're going to go around to the grid.

So we're pushing for pit entry after we take the start.

So, we're going to need three burnouts, so we recharge off, three burnouts, static, five-point learn, and we are on a left-hand side start. Left-hand side.

That's a pretty fair way of practice. Pitstop no-lock.

Box. Practice pitstop. No launch. Box. Full reminder.

That was 25 on the box entry there.

It's really slow here, I don't really know. 203.0 is so slow. We're going to help you out and the guys are going to push the car down to the road, which we will chat more in the office. We'll have a look at the pitstop stuff in detail tonight, mate.
