OK, so 15 seconds, just confirming straight out here, please.

Sunset at green light.

Ladies and gentlemen, everyone on the hard tyre apart from the Astons on the medium.

I'm happy to make a bit of a gap here and then just be pushing this out lap.

I'm so happy that gap's appeared.

Pace and take DRS and weaving and radio check. Copy. Weave, check. All loud and clear down to 10 laps. Maybe just try the drinks kit as well here, please, mate.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

Recharge. I'll have to keep this full lap on the slower side. Time to try and just complete the time lap.

The snap, he might be just pushing so let him through if he is, come to behind in your time lap. So the snap in 9 looks like a little bit of tailwind effect there, so a bit of a wind gust as you're coming through 9.

Okay, my top right, my barrier is not working. Have a look, Hamilton might be pushing in, so one second back coming through.

There might be people doing a little bit of sustainable car running here, so two push laps.

Descriptor, DRS, first lap time was 39.7.

At the back straight, it looks like we might have toggled the modifier, the sub-ride modifier, on and off the board stand as well.

But it doesn't show on the screen. Nothing appears on the screen. OK. We're just checking that here.

It looks like it's all functioning on our side, but it's just not giving you the indication. That's not right. Modify so when you pull it, it's active. Just watch Russell.

So the wind is as prediction, but it may be a little bit stronger through turn three, four, five, six area, so a little bit more of a tailwind there.

Oscar Hadjar is pushing his car behind Antonelli about six seconds back at the moment.

So Pierre's second lap time is at 37.9. Sector one is the biggest area.

Yeah, turn six, I think we had a little bit of a snap there, which costs most of the time in sector one.

OK, mate. Hadjar 2 back on the time lap. Hadjar 1.

We're looking at the, oh, maybe it's a bit too aggressive and it's not helping you with some of those snaps.

All right, so there is debris on the kerb at turn 19, so we need to avoid kerb at turn 19. Keep it nice and steady through that, please.

Right, so will we start here, please? Start before we go. So just in the boxes on the left-hand side.

Okay, so happy to let this group go a little bit and then we start pushing. Verstappen is sustainable as well behind two and a half back.

Oscar Piastri here, mate. Sorry.

Mate, we think forwards on brake bias might help. Antonelli may be higher fuel, so if we can, we can go through.

Have SOC 6, please. SOC 6.

We're happy to open a bit of a gap here, pushing free air. Six seconds back for Verstappen.

You may stay to zero to the end of this run, please.

And mode 3 when you can, please. Mode 3.

Fermi, Boxing Verstappen will be pushing on the way in, please. Pushing on the way in. Overslips turn 12.13 as well, please.

Okay, mate, actually we need recharge on, so let's get to an aero cruise in that case. So it'll be aero P3, 6th gear, after turn 11.

RRP4? RRP3. P3, 6, Gap.

Just a reminder, overdriving turn 12.13 as well, please.

Can I just watch Leclerc? Sorry. Coming through. Apologies.

Can we just hit box this lap?

So it's going to be a relatively quick turnaround. We're just going to try for one setup change. I'll explain when we're in the garage.

Albon just starting a time lap, should clear us. Next car back is Tsunoda starting a time lap now. Half of Tsunoda is a big gap.

So 160 kph to turn 9 if you can. We have Tsunoda 4 back on a time lap. Tsunoda 3, 2, 1. Coming through now. Car behind is out lap.

We're happy with the top right in Turn 1.

Slow, full throttle at DRS.

No chance of contraction.

Cabin crew, push 19, 20, good gap on track.

Verstappen, three-back pushing. We need to let him go through, please.

All right, three charge off and go.

Recharge on this is double cool here.

Even more to me, like, early in the phase 2.

Yep, copy that. I lost the rear quite... Do you think that's also affecting you through sort of 5-6 region? I think it's a... I think it was bottoming, but just a... The rear was in the air. I'm not sure it's bottoming. Really poor rear, so...

We are coming through the pitlane so we could take a little bit of flap out to try and help some of the balance there.

It's on the ramps. It's not... OK. It's really a slap. Survivor. Bottom air.

I think I'm going a bit faster and I feel it much more than before. Yeah, copy mate. I think we see that in data there, it's not very friendly in that region. So we can't do anything about it for this second lap here.

A little bit more tyre pressure will help bring the car up.

Can we have SOC 4, please? Can we just pace up just a little bit, just to make sure we're not going too slowly on these cul-de-sacs?

We can take DRS if we need to here. Just offload the rears a bit.

Would you take a flap adjust here, Franco, if you were, because we're coming through the pitlane?

Oh, not really.

OK, mate. So we need to pick up the pace a little bit here, please.

So, if we don't need a flap adjuster, we'll actually stay on track. Save a little bit of time here, please. Stay on track.

Okay, we've got Albon 3 back, he could be on a pushing lap here, so 2-1, Albon coming through. Let's just stay on track here.

Okay, Russell could be starting a time-lap here, that's the second course, so Russell just coming through now.

Stroll, just leave it in the pitlane behind.

Time left. Two minutes thirty from now.

I'm happy with the standard outlap from turn 11.

It's obviously the big area we lost. Yeah, it was through the high speed that you've already commented on. The rest of the lap actually didn't look too bad. He did 34.7. So most of the lap time is coming from those two corners there.

We do think the front left for turn 11 could also help us as well.

Well, sector 3 we are actually. 10th up. Yeah, it's just sector 1 and 2. We need to find a bit of time.

So we're happy to pick up the pace from here now and start pushing. We will need some brake temperature in the last sector as well, please.

Reference says one minute, 20 feet to the green, to the flag.

We are good on time here, so happy to make the gap that we need.

Let's make a recharge before pushing it.

Right, so, pre-charge on. So, we'll be going around to take the start here, please. OK, that was a good improvement on the second lap on that tyre.

Yeah, but still, the high speed is so tricky. 71, this time I got a bump in the middle of the corner and, fuck, the whole car has settled so much. Yeah, I think we'll have to look at addressing that before S-Cube. We'll have a look at some lines, if there's a bit of a difference between you and Pierre in Turn 1, just on the entry phase. We'll have a look at that in detail and we'll talk about that in the office a bit more. Just for reference, Pierre did not improve. Sorry, he did improve slightly on his second lap. He did a 34.66, so very close lap times between us. Finish the session here, P16. Yeah, P17.

Quite a bit of time in P11. Feels like as well. Copy, we'll have a look. Can we have PU13 position 2?

And scenario 1 as well. So PU13, position 2, and scenario 1.

And if we can, for AFAB scenario 1, and if possible, overdriving turn 12 and 13, please.

This is going to be two burnouts. Two burnouts.

So, normal procedure. Recharge off, two burnouts, static bike point learn and a left-hand side start, please. Left-hand side start.

Guys, I'm happy to keep pushing here. It will be a practice pit stop.

Thanks, Pog. It's pitstop, no launch.

That was 20.6 entry speed, so on target. Just grab some comments when you're back in the garage. Just need to get the cars moved around slightly.

Pitstop positioning was on target as well, mate, so good job on the pitstop.
