OK, 30 seconds till the green.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

Turn to the green light. Make a gap at pit exit. We'll go for a fairly pushy outlap.

Almost all other cars queuing up behind you now. Everyone on hard? Unsure on that one at the moment until everyone has left the pitlane. Certainly so far, yes. I can see.

So far everyone on hard tyres except the Aston's who are on mediums.

Recharge buckle.

That's good, so DRS and weaving down to 12. Help the warm-up.

Can you recharge on for this one, please?

Sorry mate, I just wanted to make sure the pack's full.

Contact's coming up nicely.

Have to keep the pace up through 16th, 17th, 18th as best you can.

That's good for each other. I'm good to go.

OK, recharge on. So we'll go for a slow single cool lap.

Very fast, this lap out there so far of the eight cars, 38.7, correction, 37.4 now for Sainz again on the hard. Franco's first lap, 40.2.

Yeah, a decent loss between 9 and 10.

So, Franco lost 9 and 10 there. I just lost on the exit of 9 through 10, so lost about 5 tenths. Other than that, no real driven losses on the first lap. Hamilton on a time-lapse, 6 behind. Let's watch for him, please.

Two behind. One.

It's a nice and steady down to turn 12. No DRS please. Clear of traffic.

What we're going to do at this stage is push the last two corners to get the surface prepped.

Pushing behind. Decent gap in front here now. Only Ocon to go.

No, no, copy that. So, behind, just on traffic, clear at the moment. We're going to go for a slower slow lap this time. Another 20 seconds off what you did last time should be good. Fortunately, 11.12 as well. Keep your pace down there. Tsunoda behind, just finished a time lap.

Franco just on his second lap now. I'll let you know his time in a moment.

No-one else behind 1,000 steps.

OK, so straight out we've got Russell just starting a time-lap now on the start and finish straight. Hadjar just leaving the last corner. Just watch for him into turn one, please. Then a big gap. Hadjar, two and a half. Time-lap. Hadjar, 1.5.

Okay, and clear. Have to keep the pace up a little on this lap.

DRS unable. Weaving 11-12. It's coming off nicely.

Hadjar in front could be sustainable. What I propose is that we back off slightly just at the end of the lap in the slow speed. Let's make a gap at 15 and then we can push 16 to 20.

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

Clear of traffic behind at the moment. That's decent. Couple more seconds back off would be good. That's good. Let's go now. We have Antonelli 7 behind on a push lap, so the same run ahead.

Three-shot off and I am good to go.

Not helpful there. Watch for Antonelli. Three cars back. Three seconds now. Sustainable.

Let's go. Recharge on. Sorry about that traffic.

Just watch for cars possibly pushing behind now.

OK, mate, so a couple of switch changes. Antonelli, two cars back, pushing now.

I have Hulkenberg pushing as well. Three cars back, all close together. Keep going in your mirrors. Hulkenberg now, one second. And then Verstappen, three behind, behind black, sustainable.

OK, we're clear for the moment, so a couple of switch changes please. Scenario 3. Scenario 3.

So scenario three, please, with that sock through at the moment. So scenario three.

And top of the sixth. Sorry, I've got a bit of time here. No rush.

That's good. When you're ready, we'll go recharge. If you want to turn DRS tones off, it's fail A-1-0. OK. Fail A-1-0. OK.

Pre-charge off when you're ready. Good to go. We'll look for at least four laps.

For Tsunoda, two and a half.

Cleared to turn turn 1. Cleared to turn turn 1. Cleared to turn turn 1.

OK, man, so three more laps to go after this one.

I run on the kerb, I'm kind of tight, can't support the reins, so just check the floor please.

Yeah, two more laps. Lap time is looking sensible at the moment.

Brakes fail. He doesn't feel good. Turn around. Seven.

OK, master. We'll have a look at that.

OK, so stick with it. 3-0 all the way.

OK, SOC 5, SOC 5. One more time lap. We're going to push the end lap after this as well, so keep pushing.

Okay, Pierre, so one thing this lap, keep pushing all the way and please do a practice pitstop.

OK mate, we'll get some more comments when you're plugged in. Are you happy with the change that we made last run? I'm glad you want to go back. I'm glad.

Yeah, do you want to go back further the other way, so not back to where we started? OK, just back to where we were.

OK, mate. So, M6, we're cars leaving now. Others firing up behind us. Happen to make a gap.

You're clear to take the...

That's good, so we'll go flat out to turn three, flat to turn three.

I'll maintain speed down to 7 or 8.

So 100% throttle and weaving with DRS at 11 as well.

That's good. So, partial throttle now. Gentle on tracking. All cars out there on their outlaps now, so we're in sync with everyone. That's sick. Thank you. Equivalent. So, full throttle. 16, 17, 18, please. Good start with the brakes. 19, 20. He'll be alright. He'll be going this time. Gap in front still good. 7 seconds.

Right, recharge off and you're good to go.

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

A little bit of brake asymmetry just walked right into the turnbuckle.

Okay, recharge on that bubble go. That is... yep. Oh, for God's sake. These Williams guys are really getting on my nerves.

Yeah, not easy unfortunately in those colour corners. Sorry about that. Okay, just got to watch for Hulkenberg behind. Could be pushing now. Make sure we don't have ourselves over with that. So two and a half now, Hulkenberg.

OK, that's good. So, nice steady cool laps, please.

I'll give you some info on timing shortly. If you want to be earlier, Carlos, I'll wait for a few more to finish laps. Did you set it up M745? We'll have a look.

OK, so we're having a look at all that now.

OK, so we've just got water for track limits on 19 exit as well. OK, what do you think about a flat just for another lap? No, no flat just. I need not to check, not to spin it too fast.

Yeah, so we've got margin at hand at the moment, so I think we'll do a drive-through between these call-ups, help bring these temps down.

So, cars behind us at the moment. We've got Albon on a pushlap. Correct, Albon not pushing. Ocon pushlap 5 behind.

So, Ocon, two and a half.

Clear of traffic still, so we're going to drive through this time. Roughly a minute's margin in hand.

I've got four medium runners out there. Russell, Hadjar, Antonelli and Hamilton. We've got our soft B14.

We've got a big group of cars around turn 12 at the moment, but they're all on their first cool lap, so it shouldn't be a bother.

OK, Richard, I'll nicely check the flag.

Since we've got a clear track in front of us, we'll do the aero cruise 11 to 12. You've got a track surface slippery warning where you are. Turn 3 to 5. Watch for debris. Stay on line, please.

Priority on the multi and we have scenario one complete. Scenario one and roll set.

Right, so in a couple of seconds I'll be back in the garage.

Okay, so just on that stopping position, 15 mil short, but good left to right. And braking for the box, just over 20 kph again, so good on that one.
