OK, mate. So, standard out lap. Next car pushing behind Lawson, he's at turn 18. Five medium runners, one hard tyre runner, Albon, everyone else stopped. So, no weaving, CRS down three. First car pushing, 14 seconds behind. Behind him, cars well spaced, about eight seconds apart. OK, so Lawson, eight behind, five lap, seven and a half seconds behind him. Your fastest lap is still in the dash. OK, still making some vibrations, I'm afraid. Understood. We'll see a little, we'll expect that to clear up. So, Lawson, five behind. To be concerned about at this stage, Lawson, four behind. Two cars to go in front. Two and a half. Gap behind Lawson, eight seconds. Let's be positive on the braking where we can, that'll just help clear them up a little. Hong Kong, six behind, time lap. Another eight seconds behind him. Two to go. Hong Kong, four. Three and a half.

Short drop under the bridge.
12:06:58
Sickle yellow. No problem.
12:07:09
Standby. We're happy to push next lap. Felt a nice little bit of tyre temperature actually, so be good for this test.
12:07:18
We're watching Franco still pushing behind us. Five and a half.
12:07:29
Four cars in front of me. I'm on start lap, so I'm cool.
12:07:34
Starts the next car pushing 9 seconds.
12:07:40
Six seconds behind. It's like next three could still be starting laps. It's three and a half.
12:07:51
Two seconds to Sainz. Big gap behind him.
12:10:00
I touched the wall in the last corner. Do we look?
12:10:17
I'm just a lap behind. So, single pull, please, and another push. Cars behind pushing now, strong.
12:10:27
It is four and a half behind high block Stroll.
12:10:37
Clear behind him. Slow laps. OK, mate. So, Franco's first lap 44.99. He's in P15.
12:10:56
So, obviously, a bit of a loss. Exit 16 on that lap. Won't help with traffic.
12:11:10
More time coming there. 30 days. OK. So at the moment just continue as you are. I want to push next lap as it stands, so I'll let you know.
12:11:21
So, Pierre, I think, from a tyre side, we'd actually prefer a double cool if you're happy with that. I'm happy with that.
12:11:40
We're looking through everything now. We'll advise if we need any action. Now let's continue as we are. Everything's good with tyres.
12:17:48
It's under the car on the left and then it's all very strange under the asphalt.
12:17:53
OK, man. Understood. So, we're boxing now, anyway. We've got Fernando on a push lap, eight behind, so just watch him, please. Nice and steady on the way in. We're going to have a good look over everything.
12:28:17
OK, so first car on track was Franco. He's at turn 16 now. There's a 40 second gap to the next car behind him, so shouldn't get much traffic this time.
12:28:41
So another four medium runners, including us.
12:29:21
OK, so next car pushed behind at turn 16. Now it's Norris.
12:29:34
No transcript available
12:30:04
Cars 15 behind now. Two cars back. First car pushing.
12:30:13
That's that. Cracking five off the left one. And so Graco has improved 10th sector 1, a good chunk sector 2, 6 tenths.
12:30:26
And we're looking for about a second by turn 16. He's just finishing the lap now.
12:30:33
Norris has backed off behind and just gained everywhere throughout the lap.
12:30:38
Next car pushing is Stroll.
12:30:46
So, most of his gain at turn 3 almost middle sector. So, Stroll's at 7 behind 5 lap, Leclerc behind him. Sock 3, if you can. Sock 3.
12:31:47
OK, that's OK.
12:31:56
We have a flag, so I don't want to skip this battle. OK, what we'll do is push next time. A little bit more time. Anyway, let's go. Recharge on, please.
12:32:03
Got to watch for Fernando pushing behind seven seconds. Got a very big gap in front of Stroll if you want to drop into that.
12:32:11
Lando pushing five behind now. Everyone else off slow.
12:32:38
Okay, Fernando looks like he's backed off. So we've got Norris. He's at turn 18 now. He's hit the wall. He's going very slowly back to the pitlane. So we just need to hold back as we can on that one.
12:32:57
Norris is at turn 19. There's no flags out for him yet.
12:33:09
I don't think they're going to put flags out here, mate. You should be alright. He's turned 20 now.
12:33:31
Norris just coming up to pit entry. Watch for him.
12:34:07
Right, spring around. Just watch for Alonso, Lawson behind.
12:34:15
So, Alonso pushing now. Lawson, I think, braking as well. Lawson's slow, next car pushing and nearly on a time. He's just behind you now. Let's go recharge on. Try again next lap.
12:34:40
For Leclerc on a time lap five behind now.
12:41:28
43.3, so even after three prep laps and one push, we're not far from that at all, even with braking issues. All right, so let's keep going. Yeah, another lap and see where we are.
12:47:18
OK, mate. Pre-charge off. Here's the situation. So, we can do a double pull.
12:47:28
I don't know if you've got a strong feeling, otherwise we come in now, put some fuel in and do a couple of laps to the end.
12:47:35
What's the couple of laps? It'll be three at the rough estimate at the moment.
12:47:44
It's not looking too bad now, and we know that this tyre isn't in its best condition either, so we've got cars going out on high fuel at this point, so I'll guarantee your next push on low fuel would be...
12:47:56
It would be clear.
12:53:31
OK, so straight out. So going into turn one, we've got Tsunoda and then Bearman and Piastri just behind him there, behind you now, two seconds. Also two or three seconds to Hadjar. Behind Hadjar, four and a half second gap for Franco. Happy to have him now. Is there a clear track anywhere? No, you've got Franco and Lawson, three behind there close together. They have seven seconds to hold Verga. That's probably the biggest gap. I think we've got roughly 30 seconds
12:55:29
All right, three time.
12:56:05
I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90.
12:57:14
Two more laps. I'd be happy to introduce a little lift at post in turn 234 to help the rears. Feel you need it.
13:01:04
Okay, mate, so that's the jacket flag, so go recharge off.
13:01:08
I actually want to keep our pace up on the way round to the grid, please. It's going to help us with pitstops.
13:01:55
OK, mate, so we are going to the grid. I'm going to do a start on the left-hand side this time. We're looking to get on that burnout.
13:02:16
Thank you for keeping your pace up, it's very helpful.
13:02:25
Procedure from here. One burnout, start, push for pit entry. Reminder, we're going to have a repeat of those tests. D1, order slightly different. There'll be safety car, then BSC and then red flag. So when those come out, no overtaking. Stay positive on the delta and then box.
13:04:39
Cross cars lining up to do their starts now.
13:05:55
So we're just going to push it forward. Yeah, you can switch off.
13:06:00
Other cars are out 30 seconds away from stop.
