Five seconds to the green light.

Green light, green light, straight ahead.

F2 plus and radio check. Copy.

GX4.

Brakes are looking good.

Currently four other cars on track, all new mediums.

Yep, spark two, spark two. Copy, got the spark one on lap three, right? Copy.

Charge on, single-cool, all clear behind.

Gasly ahead on a outlap. Probably 10 cars on track.

OK, Ollie, just a reminder, after turn 15 just keep left to avoid that clutch on the front.

OK, I'll need some feedback. He can focus more on turn 5 exit and then final corner. He can compromise entry and focus on exit.

The question is Norris' turn three.

Currently P3, Esteban 34.2, Esteban 34.2, P4.

Now there's two Aston ahead of Scrubbing. He's back in the box.

Charge of Piastri 5.

Watch for Hamilton's four behind charge on. We'll give a double cool.

Yeah, that was cool.

OK, Esteban is boxing the slop. Yeah, we'll take double cool, double cool. All clear behind.

Sainz 8, Sainz 7.

Sainz 5. Sainz 3.

So good lap. Compromise entry of the rave. A better exit of the rave. We're currently P4.

Can't box with a flapper just because Esteban is doing a practice pitstop.

Are you OK on balance? Copy, yeah. Albon 7.

And your line from 15 to 16 was good last lap.

It's a trouble to stay out. Yeah.

Watch for Norris, four behinds.

Tsunoda 5. Need any help on tools, Ollie? Tsunoda 4. What do you think about turn 14? Will there be a front locking guy out there? Tsunoda 2. We'll take a look.

Colapinto, and then we'll get back to you on turn 14.

Yeah, only at turn 14 the locking is on the brake shape, so you could try once that'll shape the strut.

Oh, they're behind.

So we'll try and drop these tyre temps, but if we can go quick in straight line, no DRS, I'll get red flag, red flag, so no overtaking.

Yeah, and there's a front wing on the track, so stay right.

Right. Step left. Step left out of turn 8.

OK, Ollie, so he ended up high on the exit kerb at turn 7. That's what happened here.

BBC map and so on from Pierre Garage to Ibrahim Verstappen. Okay.

Yeah, I'm pretty happy. I feel like it's in a decent window.

How long can I have a cycle, do I think?

Forty metres and one, seven and sixteen.

Double yellow, turn 14. It's green, green, track is clear.

Check. Track is clear at 40 metres, lift and coast at 1.716.

Ollie, lift and coast distance is good.

Let's cross it ahead on a I-flat.

Three more times at the end of this lap.

Lift and close procedure in one is good and replicate that in 7 and 16.

16. Rejoin the speed trace. Distance is good.

Olli, if you could increase your pace by a few tenths, that would be good. Target plus 0.4.

Hey Ollie, pushing in lap, use DRS. We can cut this run one lap short. Got everything we need.

It's a slap. Fuck, it's a slap.

I was very long there, but the brakes just didn't work.

Yeah, copy that. We'll take a look at the brakes. It's not like I was locking up, but I just couldn't press the brake any harder.

Temperatures looked OK.

I know we had this before in Bahrain.

Confirm we have time for a three-push double back-off. Copy. Clear on pit exit.

275.4 turn 7. All clear behind.

1.10 in turn 7.

Seventy in turn eight.

115 in turn 9.

Two, two, five, four, three, ten.

115 in turn 10.

Turn 11 is 80.

350 before turn 14 and 75 in turn 14.

I'll be happy to try left toggle in turn 8. You can get a feel in this run. So 275 and a straight here.

Reset your balance, Jester. One hundred kph.

OK, Ali, all clear behind. Yeah, obviously ignore your delta on that lap. It should reset. I thought it was a bad lap. No, no, yeah, it's the system error. It should reset for the next lap. No, that was a good lap. Yeah, it's currently P8.

So it's a little bit of time braking for 9.

I'll leave no one pushing out. How was the balance? We can box for a flapper just.

Balance for the K was anything a bit on the understeer side. Copy.

Copy. I think for lap 2 I'm going to keep it and see where I can improve. Copy.

OK, Aliette, we have more understeer than the other car. We can open the tip more. Suggest entry to mid two. Hold up.

To stay out, double cool. Esteban will also stay out.

So you're P12, that's a 30.8 and Esteban, P11, 30.8.

First car pushing is Albon. He's eight behind.

Albon 4.

Albon 2, Albon 1, Dr Hulkenberg in P8 and Bjorn Nielsen in P10.

He's a bit quicker in 12th.

Yeah, Sofioli, biggest area to focus on is 16, 17, I'm 18.

So, Esteban... At what point did I lose an AP?

Yeah, just let me know what necessarily you're making. Copy.

Watch for Antonelli pushing behind. Charge on.

Albonelli has aborted Hulkenberg 4, Hulkenberg 3, Hulkenberg 2.

Yellow in turn 1.

Both pull-ups need to be 30 seconds faster to make a final push lap.

OK, I'll need to speed up a bit to try and make the...

Understeer is still a limitation. We can try it in mid 1.0.

OK, Ollier, cool down a lap and only be 15 seconds slower.

Okay, well done, shit. Fuck.

It's staying on my delta, not enough. Watch for Sainz 3 behind Sainz 2.

You're going to have to stop by Saturday for push. Sorry.

Motion is Albon, 8th behind.

Okay, so currently Esteban has zero margin and you're four seconds behind.

Watch for Albon pushing four behind.

In 15 seconds hit a checked flag. Okay, we're not going to make it, Ali, but stay out. We'll go with the grid start.

Yeah, also I don't really understand how I ended up to be in the second car, but OK.

Copy. In a minute, thanks a lot. That was good. Big improvement.

Flight mode N, mode N. We'll box this lap.

Stop in the marks and the guys will push you forward.
