Are you close to Parc fermé?

So PO, when you come to a stop, keep the engine running, please, for a moment. There's about 10 cars fried up, all going to follow us down.

Okay, can we go to P1, please? P1.

Can we go to P2, please? P2.

OK, back to my desk.

Okay, mate, so on this out lap we're happy to push a little bit more. We're happy to go to full throttle in all places, including down to five, but we just need to be careful on the traction, that's all.

Damself, recharge, you want me to keep recharge on all the time, right? Recharge stays on at the moment, I'd say. So otherwise, DRS on on each straight as well. OK.

Just over a minute to go.

And MGUK start, please. One minute.

Right, so 40 seconds. Yeah, it's going to be, say, at least 10 cars as long as there is not a couple more. So we can make a gap to Franco down to the safety car line.

And then normal out of lap for the next, oh, 20 seconds.

15 seconds. Plan A, let's get this first lap time on the board.

Ace of Gap in front, five.

No tyre temp. I can't see about it at all.

Gap in front is good, so TRX, low frequency wheelie.

OK, so it's a standard hour from now. We can add some evening in as well.

Hulkenberg keeping his pace up behind to hold this position, using DRS for now.

OK, he's backed off. We'll just remind him of exit from 14.

OK, mate. Good to go.

Yeah, abort the lap, but stay on track, please. Abort the lap now. Big lift, please. Big lift now. Stay on track. Stop pushing. Watch for Hulkenberg. Five behind.

Hulkenberg finishing a lap two and a half behind.

Recharge on, please. And we are boxing it now.

I'll explain why later. Don't worry, all is okay with the car. Don't worry, all okay with the car. I'll explain why later. For now, continue with a normal inlap now, please. Please stay on planning.

So, first car to worry about behind, Norris, six seconds behind.

Yeah, understood. We might need to clear air, so I want the snub bar, please.

OK, so can you clear errors, please? Press OK twice. I'll reset all the modifiers. I got tangled.

Stay recharged on. Fast in lap, please. Fast in lap, keep your pace up.

OK, mate. So, in terms of sectors compared to Franco, Franco's best time is second lap 31.0. We're nearly two tenths up on him in sector three, and it's mostly sector two. Just got to work on what I've learnt to go below when you're back in. Power's balance, please.

Okay, mate, so we're going to push a little bit more early in the lap, so a little bit faster down to five. Mid-corner speed off five a touch higher. That will help on top speed down to seven as well.

So, no cars on track, so you'll be clear if it's exit.

OK, mate, so we've got Antonelli just finishing a time lap now. He's going into turn one. Gap in front seven, eight. You're good to go now.

Don't be scared of it. Like we said before, it's like a bar step mid-corner. 120 kph through 5, if you can, is a good rep.

Steady on traction. Steady on traction. Plenty of margin.
