OK, 20 seconds till the green.

As a reminder, we will need to sync the gears. Some of them you'll get down to five, the rest down to zero.

Green light, 5s.

Who's the car, Ed? Uh, pass for sure, standby. Uh, Lawson. Albon behind that tractor.

Down to five and then with the RS down to six.

No transcript available

OK, that's good. DRS down to 9.

Everyone out there on mediums at the moment, apart from Franco on the hard.

The temp's coming off nicely now. Let's make sure we push those last few corners.

We'll have some extra traffic, people on outlaps. High temp is most crucial here. We just need to recharge off and we are good to go.

Recharge onto those. Single cool. Have to keep it nice and steady for the first part.

So, Lawson behind has just finished his first lap. He did a 26.4. Apart from Lawson in the straight line, the only difference is turn 12. Watch for Norris on the tight.

Bearman, four behind him. Norris, one and a half.

Bortoleto four and a half now. Yeah, mate, time loss confirmed.

Quite a nice gap up front here to be able to push the last couple of corners and hold this position.

Three behind. He's the last car pushing.

Wait for Franco's time to come in. Lawson has done a second lap, a lot of the last straight line. Make a good gain and turn 90 and then turn 12 again for a bit more detail.

Hadjar, I'll start and I'll lap behind.

So, car behind Sainz now, pushing, I believe, three seconds.

So, clear of traffic. So, fastest media runner, 24.5, Verstappen, P10, 25.1.

In terms of sectors, we've just got to watch Fernando fall behind on a time lap. It's three tenths, three and a half tenths sector one, eight tenths sector two.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's why we switched at the end. Watch for Hamilton on a time 5 behind, going double cool. Do you want a flap adjust?

Push it this time. Can't have an aero cruise off at 5. That would be helpful. Aero P3.

Okay, so you'll be clear pit exit. Partial throttle down to 5. Okay, mate, so I'd like partial throttle out at 5. Sorry, jetblown throttle out at 5. And then the full throttle in DRS and weaving down to 6. Lawson in front on a cool-up. Disperse. I have a little vibration. Okay, understood. We're checking them. DRS down to 9, please. Weaving as well. 120 kph turn 9. Nice and steady there. Nothing behind. Faze with the cars in front. If you can have the socket 6, please, to start the lap. Socket 6. Ready to push. Good to go. Franco, Franco, anyone in front of him? Piastri, he's going now. Franco should be pushing from now. Franco going now. Push the last two, recharge off.

Clear watch for Hulkenberg. Starting a lap behind in three seconds.

Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go.

Yeah, there's no cars left in the pitlane in front of us. Sainz time lap now five and a half.

Right, let's focus on what we can. So how do the tyres feel to start the lap?

Alonso, open at half-time.

I'm three behind and then clear.

OK mate, so Franco's first lap 24.85 with a small loss at 9 just with the snap there and then main loss entry to 12.

Now offset five seconds behind. Two cars back.

I'll give you another five seconds to find him.

Would you like a flat custom?

So behind us, Bortoleto, three seconds. He'll be pushing next time.

OK, mate, so five onwards. I'm going to go standard outlap DRS off main straight, please, on 4th throttle. That will also help recharge.

So, behind us we've got Antonelli starting a time lap 9 behind. Bearman another four seconds behind him doing the same.

I think at the moment they're the only two we're going to need to watch.

Yeah, let's push down to ninth and let's make a gap there. 18 seconds gap behind to Leclerc on a push.

There's only one other car to go in front of Franco and they're at turn 15 already.

And they're behind lightly pushing the three and a half.

Ok, Sainz leaving turn 2 just in front. Clear behind. Just dropping back from Sainz a touch. At the end of the lap there's 3,000, I'll try and pick up a score. Yep, understood. Good gap behind. No, this is a bit frustrating, but let's try and learn while we can, alright? Should get 9 or 10 laps.

At times we're looking for something up to 30.0.

There should be another nine laps for me.

I'm going to call that time lap.

So his first lap was a 30.3, 30.3.

We're happy with lifted close distances at the moment. Keep the rear surface temps under control so far.

It laps to go 30.0 for the other car on the hard.

Okay, mate, so other car last lap 30.3. Happy to reduce lift approach into 12 if you want.

That time lost into 12 at turn 13, which is our biggest loss of the other car at the moment.

Into the sixth, there's just going to be a rear locking into there.

Other car, last lap, thirty one.

And there's only about five seconds margin to get these three laps in, so keep pushing.

Franco lap time 30.4.

Yeah, I think one more lap to go after this one. Still good tyre info for us.

That's the check flag. Let's go recharge off. All over for now.

So, go to the grid. We're going to stay in scenario 3. Do a start and then put it in its entry.

OK, so it's going to be more burnout at the start of the left, I think.

Franco is a couple of cars in front of you.

First case of Rossi to make the gap at the end of the lap so he can pitstop over you.

I have the engine port warning on the dash. Yeah, copy that. Sorry about that, sir.

Okay, when the car's back in, I don't think there's anything...

I think that's the only thing you want to run from the radio, is get you jumped out and I'll just borrow you before you disappear on me. Yep.

I think generally it's less than with the front, especially mid-corner and some front-lock issues.

Let's tell you, places where the rear was quite bolted on, especially entry.

Stop position on time. Slowed for pit limiter line 12 metres before, and again, stopping into the box, speed respond.
