Right, so I've turned green, up ahead now, so it's a green light now. You're fourth in the queue, so I'll count you down as two liners off it, so target zero.

So we've got now to turn 5. We can go from here. So DRS and weaving down to 6.

We'll take DRS up weaving down to nine.

Everything's building nicely here, mate.

We're on a push through 15. Make a little bit of a gap now, left press behind. We've got six seconds to go, so be good to go from here. So recharge off push through 15.

I don't recharge and we've got people starting laps behind, so I'm starting a timed lap now. One back. Stroll behind that. He's finished a timed lap. He might just keep eating his pace up here.

So Bortoleto to the next car, pushing turn 4 back.

I've got Bortoleto one. Bortoleto coming through. Hulkenberg now in the next car. A3. Hulkenberg two.

Hulkenberg one, coming through. I think with most of those next cars, Ocon in turn two currently. Just a bit of a feedback. We're seeing a slightly increased tailwind, sort of in the turn, down towards turn six and around turn nine. It's kind of a bit of an Ocon two back time lap. Hulkenberg one, coming through. I think with most Russell and the next car pushing in turn four.

So I've got Russell, Ty Black, he's about six back now.

Piastri is outlap behind that, but he's keeping his pace up, I think.

Here we keep the pace slightly slower. We've got Piastri on a pushier outlap coming through now. For us it would just be pushing through turn 15. Get a little bit of brake temperature if we can as well, please.

Consider the close modifier at turn 5.

I need to keep this position on track. Got six and a half seconds to Albon.

I'll just be pushing 315 and recharge off and go again.

Good gap here. 315. Recharge off the go again.

May I say, when you charge on, I would like to target single call here. Sorry, not very friendly traffic in turn 9.

Where are they going? I don't know, both of them were just sat there in the middle. Anyway, let's... Verstappen pushing, coming through turn one now. Let's let these guys through. So Verstappen, two, one, coming through. Stroll just finished a lap behind. Not sure if he's keeping his pace up or not at the moment. No, he's slowed down.

I'd like to keep a single call if we can, otherwise it's costing us too much at the end of the session.

Oh, I'm slow, but I think he's just keeping the pace up on a second cool-up here. So Albon is pushing. He's three and a half back. Albon, two.

P15. Most people are on the medium tyre. There's yourself and Hulkenberg on a hard tyre. There's a couple of others on soft.

So we need an aero P360 or up to 5.

I'm not sure what Norris is doing at the moment.

So we're on target on the marks there. We're 29.7, so quite quick into the box. We'll review that one later.

Just to have a think about here, what...

I'm just trying to drop you into a nice gap here. There's a lot of people just starting laps at a pretty big gap appearing for us to sit into. I need to watch traction. Lawson coming through complete to the time lap. So car behind is running, yeah, starting his out lap. Lawson has just completed a time lap. Let's just watch traction exit turn five. We'll take DRS and weaving down to six. I'm actually just watching traction slip to seven.

And we'll take DRS and weave it down to nine.

1-20 for turn 9.

So standard out lap from Pierre Piastri, five seconds ahead. Only have a gap to open behind if we need to.

Atelier, let's push 15.

Five, six, six and a half. Happy to go from here. So, if you recharge off after turn 15, let's go through 15.

Recharge on double cool here.

I think I can at least work that. There we go. Yeah, yeah, it was, sorry, it wasn't a nice place on track in the end. So, Hulkenberg pushing two back. Hulkenberg one coming through. Yeah, slow lap behind Sainz. I think they start pushing turn one.

Watching Sainz here. Two and a half back. New time-lapse of Sainz. One and a half.

Alonso, next car pushing is coming in to turn 5. Double crew, would you like a flap adjust?

I don't really know, because there are two seconds of 29 and two seconds of 25. I'm a bit lost with that number. Let's leave it that way. Let's leave it as we are. I think it's better if we're not entirely sure. Let's stay where we are.

Everybody's pushing. Next car pushing, Hamilton, three back. Hamilton, one.

So Verstappen outlap behind, Albon is outlap behind as well.

Next car on a time lap is Lawson, just in 6th, 7th at the moment. A bit top of court here.

So Lawson, three and a half pack type lap.

Lawson one coming through. Next one is then Hadjar. He is four back.

Hadjar 2-1. Coming through. Trying to sync with Norris. He's just going to keep his pace up here behind. Slow lap as well. I'm losing a

I'm losing a little bit of time. Yeah, he did a 25.0.

We lost a little bit on the throttle pickup exit of turn 1 and then in turn 5 with maybe overpushing entry braking a little bit, going a little bit quick in and then losing mid to exit. We're going to a second call, stay on track.

Turn 5 and then after turn 5 we'll go DRS on. We just need to work the brakes a little bit in sector 3.

Franco, if you want to let Pierre through, he's not out of pit stop yet, so if you can let him have a stop, please.

Here we go, Stroll pushing one and a half back. Stroll coming through now.

Behind. Yeah, he's just slowly behind P8, yeah. Pit stop.

All right, mate, so we're going to get you turned around as quickly as we can. Thank you for swapping. We've had a few pitstops.

We're going to get you in and turned around, got on to high fuel. What do you think about aero balance? Maybe a bit tricky to say. Second lap didn't look too bad there.

I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90.

Piastri is an outlap ahead. Happy to push through here, mate. Target lap time 1.30.0. The others are on high fuel, mate. Yeah, open the gaps are fine. Quick fact, we're going to Sock 10 to start the run, please. Sock 10.

I can't believe there's a gap here to push on.

So for the lap time delta you need display 1. Display 1.

If we can't get past, there is a four-second gap back to Piastri, but then you might try and jump in it, so you want to make a little bit of a gap okay.

We think we can reduce Lyco here. He with tyres at the moment. Energy is better than this morning.

Box 6 when you can. Box 6? I don't know, mate.

Happy with that last lap's lifting case as well, mate.

Do you need to be careful in turn one, mate? It would have been a couple of strikes already in this. Tidy up turn one, please.

We've stabilised here, so I think it's going to stay the same to the end.

Right, there'll be four laps at the end of the session now.

Four seconds back to Piastri if you want to make a bit of a gap.

...back to Piastri, so, yeah, that's probably as good a gap we're going to get, I'm afraid, mate. Front left modified for turn 5 to help.

They had a snap in one, but that would have been a track limit.

Try the open modifier, to be honest, if you're understeer limited on entry of one.

Stop 5. Stop 5.

Amplitude is DRS again this lap, mate.

Let's check the flag. Yep, that was particularly painful there. Right, I'm going to drive around and go for a start here, please.

Let's just cool the car a little bit.

Yeah, yeah, I don't know what was going on there mate.

So there are going to be three burnouts here. So it will be recharge off, three burnouts, static right point learn and a right hand side start. Remember, burnout target speed.

Flaps drop off target.

So, box, box. Dispatch, stop. No launch.

It's a bit busy with cars.
