Okay, so we'll be going straight out. Everyone on soft tyres so far. So we'll be looking for DRS off, staying on line, no weaving. I'm gonna go recharge on for this tyre, recharge

I'm feeling the brakes very strange, like I'm running in the rear. OK, understood. We'll be temped by those at the moment. We'll have a look.

That means there will be a lot of smoke. OK, understood. Looking cross-eyed.

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

Okay, let's go plus two on the dash. Slightly higher rear slips than we expected. Everything all working okay, though. Touch forward. No need to push turn one braking too much. Let's get a first lap in. Good. Clear of traffic. Good to go. Free charge off under the bridge. A reminder, everyone on soft tyres so far.

OK, recharge off. We recommend a slow single cool lap.

The car behind Hadjar has just finished a time lap, but he was quite slow. He might still be pushing. Keep your eye on your mirrors, please.

All yellows at the moment. Hadjar could still be pushing. Watch for him, please. Two and a half behind. And then a big gap.

Can you just explain to me in the brakes what's going on, please?

Am I only on the brake balance I should have, or...? Yeah, everything is on target at the moment. What we're going to do is just work around the limitations, alright? So we'll give you some advice on that shortly. So am I fine to push the braking the whole way through on this road, which is completely nice? You're fine to push braking, one of the most well-advised if we need something difficult. Watch Bortoleto, four behind. Time's up.

You're more forward than the initial expectation, but it's not a problem at the moment. Antonelli, 5 behind. Watch for him, please, and then clear.

So, just summarising on the slips, mate. Everything is equal front to rear. So, yes, we're a bit more forward than we first expected, but there's nothing wrong with the system. We're all happy. Happy for you to start to push braking that little bit more, alright?

Time to Hulkenberg, who is pushing now, so we can try and stay in front of him. Three cars to go in front.

OK, Hadjar will be starting a lap now, 10 behind.

4-2 for Norris, we're at P12 at the moment, sector splits all even.

If I watch for Bortoleto, four behind on a time lap, then there's a big second gap.

So at the moment we're going to keep steady for a single lap. We're going to advise halfway around the lap if we want to go for a double, but everything's looking good for us.

So Pierre, we'd be happy to try a double cool and see if that helps recover the rear axle at all as well. Yeah, I'll run back. Yeah, that's good. Do you want to do a flap adjust while we've got the opportunity?

Uh, no, it's okay. Okay, mate, that's good. So, uh, Norris 16 seconds behind. We're going to go for double full this time. Norris is pushing.

Gap behind 1.0 DRS enabled, we're back in.

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

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

Box, box, Pierre. Box, box. Pull up the lap box.

Full throttle. Full throttle.

The rear brakes are pretty bad. It's alright. They're not too bad in terms of temp, so we'll be going straight out from here. Normal pull away, please. No flap adjust. Fresh set.

Okay, so we're looking for a normal outlap this time. On track, we've got Hulkenberg going into turn one now, starting a time.

Everyone doing single calls at the moment. Hulkenberg 5 behind timed.

Hulkenberg 2 behind. When clear, I'd like mode 1 on the multi, please. Mode 1. Piastri 6 behind pushing. Piastri slowly. Mode 1. Standard outlet.

OK, right, so here's the plan. Fast, slow, fast, slow, fast.

Good on timing. Standard flow laps, as you have been doing, please. Those times are good.

I have about 20 to 30 seconds margin for the flow.

It's about four cars to go in front here. No traffic behind. Next car pushing is Antonelli. He's at turn 5.

About five cars to go in front here. Antonelli 15 behind on a time. Three to go in front, so a reminder to recharge off under the bridge. We've got slippery surface warning 5, 6 and down to 7. Could be debris. Antonelli 10 behind us. Back out to Hamilton in front.

Stay behind Antonelli.

Talking about the push next lap. See where we are with tyre vibration.

Okay, just keep steady for the moment, please. We're going to try to fast-swerve fast.

Ah, behind. Pushing next is Norris. Seven behind. Car's reasonably well spaced where we are.

So Norris four and a half behind five laps. Go standard out lap turn seven. Norris three behind.

Sweet, need to let Norris pass 1.5 behind.

So plan is fast, slow, fast. I'll see if we can put a double cool in.

Piastri six behind on a five lap.

Albon starting a lap behind. Three seconds.

OK mate, will you take a slow single cool lap for the moment, so we can do single cool, one more push. OK, if I can't do better, I have no grip and it's scary. OK, just watch Verstappen starting a lap now, I'll advise.

OK, let's go double cool. I need slightly faster than you have done previous cool laps. One minute 35, one minute 40.

Two minutes 35.40, sorry.

We're going to go nice and steady for the first of these laps. I'll advise you on timing in a moment.

So, Pierre, we're 2 minutes 40 slow laps. We've got 10 seconds margin, not a lot. OK, I'll just take it slowly, slowly, and then I'll be done with the next lap. Yeah, that's fine. You're doing fine for now, just standard slow lap, please. Hulkenberg, four and a half behind.

Pre-charge on, just pull the tyres down and we'll go into the grid to do a start.

Over-slip the tyres at 5.6, please. Over-slip at 5.6.

Grid now. We'd like two burnouts, a start on the right and a push to pit entry.

32, burnout. Start on the right. Gear 10-3.

Positive on the delta, no overtaking.

And safety car, so boxing now. We'll do a practice pitstop.
