If needed, I don't mind bailing on the push lap, but let's not hang around on the out lap now.

Yeah, no need to worry about the gaps on the, leaving the pitlane.

Wind does actually look like it has died down since the sprint race, so 5 kph rear-eating.

So that's 40 seconds. Fire up and hold.

I'll get to plus 18.

20 seconds to Sainz. First car on a lap.

Stroll at five seconds, so keep an eye on him. Target plus seven.

Stroll, four seconds.

Do you know, based on radio messages, is he pushing or not? He is pushing, yes.

So Piastri is out lap behind and then Leclerc 11 seconds on a lap.

Leclerc at 7 on a lap.

Leclerc at four seconds now. Hadjar fastest 21.4. Leclerc three seconds on a lap. What's the lap time on my Delta?

Strat 2. Looks good.

And your dash will be a 21.1.

Bearman at two seconds. We're opening a lap. Strat 1, box, box. Bearman is in. Past, we'll keep the pace up.

So, it's currently appeared P2, 170 milliseconds to Piastri, also on a used soft tyre.

And we are still on plan F.

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

We'll be out of the build here.

So, booted gap on exit.

So, Lewis coming past and then Colapinto will be next car on a lap. Six seconds. Five, four, three and two.

Leclerc has completed, so target plus seven.

Can we do fast, slow, fast, slow, fast?

Stick with plan B. Yeah, negative, there's not time for that, so we'll stick to the plan.

So Albon out four seconds. He's outlapped, so expect him to be opening. Target plus five. Albon has DRS open.

Two seconds to Albon, L1. Next car, Sainz, on a lap. Six seconds.

Sainz at three and a half, L3.

Two seconds on a lap.

And will be Norris 10 seconds on a lap.

It will be clear in sector three here.

Car is at 6.

I'll be strat 2.

Steering feels a bit funny.

OK, so Strat 1 double cool. We've got four minutes 15 to check a flag. You've got Alonso opening a lap at five seconds. Four, three, two seconds. Target minus 20.

Thanks, Verstappen.

Long way back.

Steering is heavy in left-hand corners. Turn 2.

Copy that, we are looking at the data.

So currently that's P3, 220 milliseconds to Norris. Main loss is turn 6. That's minimum speed.

Let me know if we have finally come through the pits. Negative. Negative on that. So we just keep this position. We are obviously tight on time for that double cool.

So target minus twelve.

So it's 2 minutes 20 now to the flag. Verstappen will be opening a lap at 7.6. Verstappen is pushing. Four seconds, three, two seconds. And then Hadjar opening a lap six behind him. Hadjar, five, four, three, two seconds. And then Tsunoda opening a lap at six.

Tsunoda 4-3-0.

Two seconds on a lap.

And then it will be Lawson after Tsunoda. Lawson at 7.

Where do I need to be on my delta? Plus ten at the moment. Lawson at three.

Lost two seconds on a lap.

Not tyres, on the safety guard filter. Obviously I'm letting a few people by here. Let's see, we've got a minute and ten left on the clock. Yeah, you've only got a minute ten left. Albon out five seconds on a lap. Four and three.

Two seconds to Albon.

So, yeah, it is plus ten on your dash to still make it.

There'll be clear sector 3 here.

We are safe, but we will complete the lap.

I don't know what's going on with the steering. It's a bit in dodge.

Heavier in left than in right.

I see Gasly in P4. What was his run profile? Did he take new tyres?

Is that Gandhi or Mahi? Okay. I saw a blue... Is that Tsunoda? No, that's Verstappen P4. You've got Sainz in P5. Oh, sorry.

He had a lap deleted for track limits at turn 8.

George, thoughts on the plan here? Still sticking with that 5.

Yeah, I'm happy with the proposal.

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

I'll be straight out. Verstappen will be alongside. He's going slow. He's completed. So clear on track. Target plus seven.

Fifteen seconds to Lawson. First car on a track, on a lap.

Awesome test.

Pulse of the seventh, R6.

Three seconds to Lawson on a lap.

Two seconds and behind him six seconds to Albon on a lap.

Above 5.

Two seconds to Albon.

Piastri behind, just completing the Verstappen will be first car, currently 13 seconds behind.

Target plus five.

Hadjar at 13 seconds on a lap.

So, in sync with the cars around you, we've got Bearman and Lawson, yeah, Bearman is outlap. Yeah, Lawson on first slow on that soft tyre.

So Lawson was just doing single pushes in Q1, which is strat 2.

Strat 1, double cool, clear behind Bortoleto, just completing target minus 20.

Hulkenberg also just completing. So it's currently P3 half a second to Piastri. He's on his used soft tyre.

So to Kimi, that is half a tenth, turn 6, braking only.

Time to cut through the pits.

I think negative, but I'll get you some feedback.

Prep for clear visor for Q3. Really dusty out here. Copy that.

So, we need to stay on track here, George, so just drop your time to the safety car. Time remaining. Three minutes thirty remaining here.

So, Carl's coming out of the pits now.

Still no-one pushing behind.

Confirm Piastri was a used tyre, please.

What's happened to Norris? Norris had a lap deleted. Limit's 10-10. He is opening a lap now.

Five, four, three, two seconds.

Target minus 10.

Piastri at 10 seconds on a lap.

So Kimi's new tyre outlap, so he's pushing his outlap.

I can give a tow if required.

Three seconds. No, two seconds.

Thanks. Thanks, car. Push it.

Sainz, but he's only just opened the lap.

I've just got Bearman and Kimi miles ahead.

Clear over 35 seconds behind.

So Kimi is going now. Just Bearman we're waiting for.

B-Strat 2 next lap. Ahead is 4.

Strat 1-Box, box.

So, that lap was deleted. Turn 10, back limits. That's still safe.

Happy to stick on plan if you are.

Box, box, stop warning marks and switch off.

So, switch off down the end. Two minutes fifty.

Let me know your thoughts on timing if I need to get cracking.

So, at the moment, we think we're OK here.

I obviously just want to hold the position for those 40 seconds. Fire up.

I just set B-big.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

Target plus twelve.

So, Leclerc at five, opening a lap.

Target plus three. Racer code. Gap is four. Now three seconds.

Then Hadjar, six seconds on a lap.

Good job. Three and a half.

We are now at 3.

Piastri at nine seconds on a lap.

Clear sector 3.

Gap behind four seconds. I'll be strat 2.

Strat 1-box-box. So we'll keep the pace up on the in-lap. It's all clear behind.

Thought some tyre temps on the left was fucking hot.

Yeah, everything I just came from having to push to recover those rears.

We'll keep an eye on that for the next one.

And happy to stay on plan with the run plan? Questionable. Yep.

Aspenscher, let the target, let it back.

Yeah, copy that, George. We'll see what we can do.

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

Red flag, red flag.

F2, please.

Target plus seven.

Just confirm you're happy to admit.

We're good on timing? Affirm.

Target plus seven.

So we need some fall over PU temp. Norris at four seconds opening a lap. Three, two seconds then behind him, six seconds to Leclerc. Target plus.

So we need to be minus seven on our delta to be safe here. Leclerc at four seconds.

That's all right, it's back to normal.

A-firm, yep. So Leclerc at three seconds.

Clerk, now two seconds.

Slow coming through.

And then Alonso at five seconds on a lap.

After Fernando. It's clear 11 seconds after Fernando, so three seconds to Alonso.

P4. Eleven milliseconds to Verstappen.

So, target 0.2 on your dash.

Sir Piastri on pole was a 19.4. Norris didn't do a lap, so he was 19.5 still. Verstappen obviously about 11 milliseconds ahead of you. Kimi MP5 was a 19.8.

And then we had, quick look, P10. Good, 20.6.

Into the pitlane.
