Slow, fast, slow, fast. DRS on. Let's just manage those slips on braking and traction here and look out for turn 10-11.

That's a turn 9 bad reported from Pierre. Radio check, Franco. Yeah, finished. OK, nice. I still get quite a lot of background noise from your radio there. It's 0.29. Copy. OK. It's a normal T12 procedure here, so just look to push a little bit more. Let's go recharge off as well.

So, confirming prep lap here. So, at T1 we'll go recharge back on.

Albon just leaving the pits ahead of us now.

There are prep laps behind us here as well.

Just a reminder to lift through 10-11.

Can we do DRS down here, please, and max boost?

I'm so happy to go from here. Let's just use this one as a side to Antonelli. There'll be a prep lap ahead of us, so recharge your off-point reminder and let's just build up.

So we'll have Antonelli starting a time lap now in turn one. So single cool here, just for reference, Pierre's first time 39.0. So we've got Antonelli three back time lap, Antonelli two, Antonelli coming through now, Albon car behind slowly.

Albon, I think, is pushing again here in 4 back. Albon 3 still pushing behind him. Lawson also pushing. Lawson car behind 5 second pushing.

Brake back still, please.

Now, I'm gone. Car behind. Slow lap.

So we've got Hadjar, four and a half back on a time lap. He's car behind, Ocon.

Okay, Hadjar, two and a half back, similar lift through 10 and 11 if you can. Hadjar time lap two back.

Hatch R1 coming through now. Need to sync with the car behind.

Bearman is pushing three back. He's behind Ocon at the moment, having to push down to 14. One recommendation is shape 5 for turn 14. You'll have to do that manually.

Got Bearman one and a half back time lap.

Pushing his four back at the moment. Three.

OK, mate, we're happy to go. Yeah, so recharge off and go.

Let's just watch Albon starting a tight lap behind here. Albon and Ocon, Nico Ocon, coming through as well after that as a gap to Lawson.

So, last lap time there, it's a hundred to Pierre.

Lawson pushing two back. Lawson one coming through now. Hadjar next car back. Five seconds time lap.

Yeah, it didn't look super friendly there. Just thinking about run plan here. We've got slow fast pencil there, but I think we could probably look to do another lap, if you're happy. Just minimise turnaround time.

Yeah, I'd be happy to extend this for another slow class as I may just improve it all the time here. Alonso, fall back time lap.

I'm very happy with what you did with the tyres on the last full lap as well. So we've got Verstappen six back on a timed lap.

The tyres are on target again here at Serverstappen. Four and a half flat for a tight lap.

Yeah, not super friendly. Do what you can to get out the way of Verstappen, please. Thank you.

I'm going to go for a more cool and then final push lap for this. Pierre did a 35.1 for reference.

Pushing two back. Agile one. Coming through.

So it's sector 3, so turn 40 in the area. We need to focus on the service staff and three back time laps.

All right, we're thinking we could try for another lap if you think there's a little bit more in this tyre, like another low-field lap here.

Liam Hulkenberg in 6th back. He's just coming through Hamilton now and then he'd be the car behind.

Yeah, we've got Tsunoda also, he'll be pushing for I-Pack. On this next lap, buddy, if we are not improving by a decent margin, so Tsunoda 2 back coming through.

Right, recharge. I would like to keep the pace up on the in-lap if we can here. If possible, aero P3, 6th gear after turn 4. P3, 6th gear after turn 4.

I have to keep my pace up a little bit more here.

Roger, Pierre did a 34.37.

So 10 sector 1, 2 and a half, 10 sector 2, 10 and a half, sector 3.

Speedbrakes. Right, so just pulling up into the pit lane, are we, please?

Normal switch off. I'd like to buy some time back in the session here. We'll try to keep this turnaround quite quick going on to the next tyre.

What do you think about balance? Just very quickly.

George Stroll coming through turn 1 now, should clear us. Piastri first car potentially on a timed lap here, he's just exiting turn 1. I'm not sure if this is a prep lap, but he's three back. Piastri pushing, we think, three back. FB21 coming through. I'll start in sync with those around. Next car, I think, pushing is Bearman, just in team. Hello, turn 9. Bearman lifts through turn 11. Yellow's clear in turn 9 now.

Recharge all.

We'll have good DRS.

Turn one, recharge back on. Going into the flap.

Just watching Leclerc starting a tight lap now into turn one.

Leclerc might be prep lap here, but if he's pushing, let's go.

OK, so base car and time lap is Alonso's. I've got six back.

No reminder of the lift through 10.11. Alonso is four seconds back. Time lap.

Normal, prep time to hit DRS at full speed.

Alonso coming through now. He's car behind one and a half back.

We should make the gap here. Recharge off the fight revivor. Let's push this up.

Let's just watch Pierre fall back time lap.

Tapio, one back coming through. Lando Tsunoda pushing six and a half.

Yes, mate, yeah, we saw that. Tsunoda two back.

I don't want that.

Push Tsunoda here, mate. Tsunoda reports in the lap. Very smooth. Bortoleto is pushing. He's in the car behind Tsunoda about one lap.

We'll connect to normal procedure from here. We've just got Bortoleto, one back pushing. He's just behind Tsunoda.

OK, so Bortoleto is aborted, so free to continue up from here.

So it's not recharge off point reminder? No, that's pretty good.

Red-black, red-black.

Not sure what this is for just yet. I'll come back to you in a moment.

We are monitoring some rain here as well. There's a shower developing above us as well at the moment.

Turn 4 was very odd. Two laps, very, very slow pace.

Yeah, copy, we saw that. We'll have a look, see if we can see anything.

It's going to be tight. It's going to be tight to get a second push in here.

30 seconds for the green light.

This is going to be our prep past here, mate. So we're going to get a green light now. Just to make sure we keep that gap. That SC2 line, I'll count you down.

There's one car going now.

Can we hit that second up or not? I think it's hit, mate.

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-0 now.

Final spurt. Thank you.

Just looking at that on timing, mate. It's a bit tight but let's just keep bringing some energy in here.

We'd have about 10 seconds margin if we did a double prep, so the second one might be a little bit quicker.

OK, turn me up.

I don't think I was this lucky.

That's fine.

Currently, we've got six seconds margin.

Right, so we have got a little bit of margin but not a lot of room here.

Red flag, red flag. Are you kidding?

Yeah, I don't know, mate. What way? I don't know, mate. No info.

So, Pierre will be taking a pitstop ahead of us, if we can just roll in behind him, please.

There's two minutes 20 of the session remaining, so the only thing we'll get is a start here at the end, potentially.

I may not let us do that, so let's just roll in behind Pierre, please.
