AFL. We've got just under three minutes to go now.

And when we do go for that first lap, it will be in strat mode 5, so not 2.

So that's 40 seconds. We can fire up and hold.

So, target plus eight.

So ahead of Lawson is a 10 second gap.

So a box, box, box.

So stop on your marks and switch off.

Brakes. I wake up, guys, it's so stupid. For the sake of a minute.

So, Hadjar's gone off at turn 6. Red flag, red flag.

So it's three minutes thirty to restart time. So stay in the fast lane.

So, George, we don't feel there is enough time for a second lap here, so we'll need to go for it on lap one.

Beard, just confirm in sector 3 of the outlap.

Wind strength still looking similar to SQ? Affirm, yes. Here, sprint race. So, 35 seconds. Fire up and hold.

Sorry, same direction as sprint race, but it's stronger than sprint quali, right?

No transcript available

So, yeah, direction similar to sprint race. The magnitude is similar to sprint quali.

So cars ahead have been going for around eight to ten second gaps.

First car. Hulkenberg, currently turn 19.

So Hulkenberg turn at 23.11 seconds.

Seven seconds to Hulk opening a lap. There's eight behind him. Target plus ten. Hulkenberg now four seconds.

So Verstappen currently P1.33.6, you've got Piastri at five and a half on a lap and currently time for two laps in the run plan, George. Are you happy to take that? Yep. Copy that. Piastri now four seconds on a lap.

I'm catching up. Three seconds. Two seconds.

That's two seconds to Piastri. That'll be box and box.

Stop on your marks and switch off. Clear behind.

So, Sainz ahead of a slow lap.

Target plus one.

Sainz, box in or go on the gap.

Not sure, he's on the first slow lap on that soft tyre.

So we think Williams will be boxing.

No gap for Sainz is 11. Norris at 21, his first car on the lap.

Full clear ahead for the Strat 2 next lap.

And it's 12 seconds to Bortoleto.

So, box, box, stop on your marks and switch off.

So you're on the way, Bridge.

And we'll stop you long.

I have hit a tube.

So it's 40 seconds to green light. Keep it running when you get down that.

I've got hot tyres, you should have sent me early.

Happy 4, commit to overtake me on B out lap. Copy.

So obviously you need to leave the pitlane in order.

So Kimi has five seconds ahead of him to bear.

So, all clear ahead.

Next lap will be strata 2.

Verstappen out three seconds. Opening lap. Strat 1, box, box. Verstappen out two seconds.

Getting quite a lot of understeer in the low speed sector 2, sector 3 in 15.15 here.

I'll stop on the marks and switch off.

Target on tyres.

Plus three half-tyres.

We're behind Strat 1 and Fox Fox.

Nine seconds to Tsunoda. First car on a lap.

OK, so it's P4 in the end.

Outposts are three and two.

I see a three tenths to max. Yeah, three tenths to max. 19 milliseconds to Leclerc. 25 milliseconds to Norris in P2. Ah, thanks. Close.

Coming into the pitlane.
