Radio check. Loud and clear in the pitlane. So we've got Ocon two behind just opening a lap.

And then 10 behind the Hong Kong, that'll be cruise 2, exit turn 2.

Target plus three. Dr. Verstappen at six seconds on a lap. Now five, four, three, two, one.

Check that 3. Loud and clear, turn 3. You got Verstappen now. Three seconds on a lap. Brakes feel long and spongy. Verstappen at 2. Copy that on the brakes.

The next car, Tsunoda, at nine seconds, and there's seven behind him.

Albon, 16. Yeah, loud and clear at turn 5. Albon, 16 ahead on his outlap.

And our gap behind is six seconds to Tsunoda.

Got a yellow flag down at turn three.

Tsunoda now four behind on a lap.

Bortoleto is just reversing out of the escape road. Tsunoda at three seconds.

And all clear behind will be strat 2.

Red is not great on the straight.

It's been a bit of burning. I think it's the brakes.

You've got Lawson at two seconds.

Alonso now 12 seconds behind. We'll do double cool here. Target minus 15. Alright, we'll try and turn one.

Balance update. Got Alonso now at five seconds.

Pretty neutral but don't overreact. Three seconds. Two seconds to Alonso.

And it's five seconds to Bearman.

Two seconds to be a bit on a lap.

And then Ocon at five seconds.

Three seconds to off-gault. And two.

So, Hadjar just got fastest at 45.2.

Sorry, Hulkenberg and now Norris, 44.3.

Verstappen at 12 seconds on a lap.

It seems that these people don't sing good. Let me know what you think.

Yeah, other people, well Norris was first push lap, but other people are doing single call laps here.

So, we've got four seconds to Verstappen out of three.

Clear behind nine seconds.

Serious amount of offspin in this straight.

Copy that, so we've got a lotto at six seconds.

Fine. Cool.

Three seconds out of two. Got a yellow flag at turn four.

This car on the lap is Bearman at six seconds.

Four seconds to Bearman.

Two. That is Ocon at five seconds.

A lot of pre-wheeling. Turn 11. Out of 3. At 2 seconds.

Yeah, we see that. I tell you as well.

So Norris has just improved on his next lap. He's done a 43.7. They've got red flag, red flag, no overtaking.

So stay left. Don't use the exit kerb. Exit of turn 16 is debris.

That's what I feel a bit. I guess it's only going to get worse. Let me know what it looks like in the data. Obviously turn 11 is a bit unique.

Everywhere is still OK currently.

No transcript available

Happy to keep the PU running.

And 30 seconds.

So we'll be straight out here, just built a gap on exit. Cars ahead have been going for six second gaps.

Target plus five. So Lawson's got two ahead of him, ahead of Bortoleto, ten seconds.

Bortoleto now got 14 ahead of him. Lawson still two behind him.

So we'll be strat 2 next lap.

That will be target minus 18.

Tyres are gone, pressure blocks, problem with the heating and rear. Lost in sector 2. Understood, yes. So we've got time for about another nine laps here.

Yeah, it's fine, I'd prefer a run. Just box in and do them fast, slow, fast. Do them fast, slow, fast on a new set. We'll do that then, so we'll box, box. Or if you prefer, I'm happy to do one or two laps a consecutive now, as you wish.

That will box end of this lap, George.

Cars behind are off.

So it will be box, box, on your marks and switch off.

Go straight out, you've got Alonso on exit.

So, target minus six.

Scott Lawson six seconds ahead on an outlap.

Target what, sorry? Target minus six.

So, Norris on a new tyre, 42.7.

Lewis on a cool down lap or is he on a used lap? He's on a cool lap. On a used. You've got Hulkenberg on a push lap at 10 seconds.

Can't be done, Hulk. Seven seconds to Hulk. No, six. Five seconds.

About three seconds.

So we've got debris turn six.

And you've got Hadjar at two seconds and Bearman close behind him.

So it will be Bortoleto five seconds on the lap. Target minus 22. Bortoleto out two seconds.

So, Bearman at 2 for what he's doing.

On lap time, Lando Norris. 42.7, Lando Norris.

And others? So Leclerc was a 43.3 P2, yourself MP3.

Turn 11.12 is the main lap to Norris. He did a single cool and didn't manage to improve, so he was 42.9 on his second lap. We'll go for a double cool here.

Just let me know if you need to pass it through the pitlane for a flap adjust. Over. Minus 0.5. Copy.

So no-one pushing behind. Now we'll have green 8 position.

And you have 5.01 for turn 11. That's available for turn 11. Gasly at 13 seconds on a lap.

Flap adjust and go again. Gasly now at six seconds on a lap.

We've got Hulk on a lap. Exit 1.

Target minus fourteen if we can here. Snowed behind just completed.

That's Carl Leclerc at 13 seconds.

Leclerc, seven seconds.

5 4

So set B-Bal. All clear ahead.

Gasly out one second.

OK, so we've got 35 seconds to the flag, so we'll just reset the tyres, maybe we'll take a checkered flag.

Hulkenberg at three seconds. Up two seconds. You've got a yellow flag down at turn three. Hadjar down the escape road, I think.

Verstappen at six seconds.

Yellow flag where you are.

We've also got a yellow flag, turn 15.

Cars behind at the moment have abandoned.

Franco Colapinto is two and a half behind in case he is still pushing.

So Leclerc, next car, seven seconds.

I want to push it, mate.

Now you've got Leclerc out five seconds.

Look, now, two seconds.

OK, so that's checkered flag. I'll come back round for a practice start on the grid.

Where do you want the tyres? Target minus four.

So we'll be coasting from turn 20.

And then it will be right-hand side and two burnouts.

Strat 5 for the start.

VSC, VSC, filter positive.

And clutch was on target.

So, safety car, safety car.

And a red flag, red flag.

And if you jump straight out, we can debrief after the car.
