So, just got a couple of cars with brakes as well, so we're first in the queue. We've got three and a half minutes, so we'll switch off, please.

Okay, so we've got McLaren behind you with a rake fitted as well.

10-7.

Just breaking in the queue. We could fire up again with two to go. It's currently three to go.

Can you hear me well with this black lava?

I don't think we need them.

You sound okay at the moment. Let's see what you are like on track. It's maybe a little bit quieter, but we'll see.

A little bit quieter, but we'll see where you are on track.

And I was already quiet before.

It's a little quiet as well.

Well, OK, so just under, just over two minutes, sorry, here.

That's 90 seconds to go, Franco. Happy to start firing up now.

That's a minute to go.

The SM turned three to four, then no SM for the rest of this lap.

At the end of this lap, 5 to 6, 9 to 10, we will need that aero P2 seventh gear between turn 9 and 10 as well. Then back to aero P1. When we go from 14 to 1, use SM down to turn 1. Then go into the sequence aero P4 fourth gear turn 3.

Aero, P5. Circuit.

Turn...

Seven.

And then aero P360 after turn 9, then box it.

There's 45 seconds to the green light.

Sorry, 15.

How's that? Forty-five.

That's five seconds.

And we're happy to keep the pace up, so green light, happy to keep the pace up here as well.

So, SM three to four here.

It's coming, mate. It's building.

Understood.

Right, so no SM now, five to six.

Well, it didn't work very well.

OK, we'll look.

Seventh gear down to turn 10.

10, just going to limit speed. That's an error P2.

You're just driving down there. You may not hit the top speed anyway. No SM.

Aero P1. Aero P1.

OK, mate, so we would now target SM from 14 to 1.

That's nasty.

OK, I'm not sure what's happening here.

Just hope I don't need to look and say it at the rest of the time.

No, we're not. We won't. It's fine. It's fine.

Mate, so there's no SM for the rest of the lap, so we'll have aero P4, fourth gear, turn three.

Aero P4, fourth gear. Sorry mate.

OK, and then aero P5, third gear, turn seven, exit. Aero P5, third gear, turn seven.

Turn 7, exit, yeah? Affirm, turn 7, exit, aero, P5, third gear.

And then after turn nine it will be aero P3, sixth gear.

So, aero P3, sixth gear, down to turn 10.

OK, mate, so back to Aero P1. I'll be boxing this lap.

Box, box, box, box.

OK, mate, just watch for marshals in the pitlane. I think Sainz's car's been pushed back. I'm not sure. I can't see from here, so just caution in the pitlane, please.

All right, so stopping on the marks, then normal switch off. We'll be looking.

Switch off. We'll be looking at the SM, mate.

If someone else is not working, I'll let you know. Er, no, both cars.

Franco, we're going to swap balaclavas here. You're a little bit too quiet for us.

So straight out, straight out.

My mate's a limb left behind just finishing a time-lapse, so she'll be in sync with him.

Ascent with him. Bearman ahead also on a slow lap.

So, we have dropped in in sync, I think, with everyone on their first or second slow laps here.

So, no SMs.

And no weaving, please.

So, from, yeah, warm-up was very easy here, so we don't need to push too hard.

So head of, yeah, head of that gap here.

Gap here, we now got three or four cars on slow laps.

My virtual mirror doesn't work, so...

OK, copy. I'll feed you back. So seven seconds up the road is better.

He's in a train. He's on a slow lap. We've got Vestia ahead of him. There's a group of four cars currently there.

Leto, next car pushing four seconds now.

A little bit of weaving down to 10 for surface if you can. Two seconds back Bortoleto time lap.

Time lap to one and a half seconds now.

To Bortoleto coming through.

And let's push through here. We've got Bortoleto coming through now as well.

All right, so recharge off now, park pedal from here.

First attempt, let's build up on this.

It's good that I'm doing a good job.

Right, nicely managed. Let's build a balance here.

Hey, recharge on me. Double cool here, mate. Double cool.

Cool. Apparently 10 seconds back is best, I think, is...

Red team now, so clear track behind.

Mate, not bad. First lap there, just a reference P-edit of 19.4.

Erm.

Two tenths, sector one.

No transcript available

Sector two and half a tenth sector three.

I got this out of my grip.

Very good. OK. HPP8, position 5, please. HPP8, position 5.

That's going to help Verstappen fall back a time lap.

It's going to help Tim to turn one Verstappen, two back, time lap.

Step up one.

Thank you, Verstappen, through now. Can we have exit three as well, please, mate, exit three.

OK, main time loss of the hour is braking points of turn 4 and 5.

So the HPP switch should just help us a little bit into turn one. Happy with double cool here.

We'll stay in check. No need to come through the pitlane. Russell next car back. Three seconds time lap.

Russell one.

One coming through.

Left to right.

Yeah, kind of as we would expect it, mate.

Hurts a bit.

One coming through. Next car pushing Bearman, just coming in to turn 10.

I'm going to say double cool here.

So Fermi just completed a time lap here behind us.

Piastri also just finished a timed lap.

Time lap. I might say, just work on these teps here.

What do you want me to target to start the lap?

Plus two target, please. We can take straight mode here.

So, Bottas outlap behind.

Okay, Bortoleto, the next car pushing just into turn one now, for reference.

Bortoleto is currently four and a half back.

He's just behind Bottas at the moment.

Hey, Bortoleto, now the car behind two seconds back. Time-lapse.

One and a half.

One coming through.

The next car pushing is Pierre. He's currently in turn 5.

Tyres looking good. Brake temp's coming up. So we're going to recharge off turn 12.

Let's see how good I am on the part throttle again here.

Right, let's go again.

And recharge on double cooling, PMA.

All right, decent step there.

No transcript available

Yeah, pretty much on par with Pierre's. A little bit to find in sector 2. POTAS just completed a time lap behind.

Oh, but it's in sector three to find.

Speed is good.

But looks like that snap in one, both of us are suffering the same thing on exit.

Exit. Just a slight double wheel spin there, mate.

Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

Yeah, we can, we think that should just about be okay for boost mate to go up a gear in one.

Well, we should have been just in to run, I think.

Thanks. Repeat.

I'm going a little slower.

Yeah, it might help a little bit with behaviour. Just a question, would you like to try exit 8 as well? Suggestion here.

We've got Piastri, sorry, pushing his four and a half back at the moment.

This is a double course, so Piastri, Snuback, 1.

Piastri coming through.

How's balance, mate? You feeling OK? Would you take a flap adjust? We are on a double cool.

Oh, I think I just keep driving, but yeah, it is.

Squawk control.

We could, Sainz pushing, we could come through and take a turn out, Sainz one and a half back.

Fine, just coming through.

OK, let's take a turn.

OK, box, box.

So, box, box, stopping on the marks, one turn down here.

So, as you're exiting the pits, you're just going to have Paul. He's on a slow lap, one and a half seconds ahead now.

Vesti just finishing a time-lap. Pierre's just starting a time-lap now.

Okay, so Vesti's slowed up. He might be keeping his pace up. PS3 back on the time lap.

Yes, the car behind Vesti is Pierre on a timed lap, mate.

Yeah, now a car behind coming through. Nice one. Thank you, mate.

We have shift six, please, mate. Shift six.

Just a note for starting the lap, mate. If you can delay the throttle application to full throttle by 60 metres, please.

60 metres. There is a 60 metres delay on full throttle application, that will help us into turn one deployment.

Procedure-wise, everything looks good. It's just delaying that a little bit. I think Alonso next car back.

Carb, back, five seconds, time-lap.

Alonso two back time lap.

Alonso, one back and then.

Come back and then Oganovic is about seven seconds on the road, turn nine now on a time lap.

He might catch us towards the end here, mate.

Not sure, mate. Let's make the gap now.

So, Baganovic now four and a half time lap.

I think we need to let him go and then it's clear behind. So Paganovic one coming through now.

Now recharge off.

All right, so park pedal here and just delay that full throttle application. This is the last time lap on this set.

We're going to be boxing this lap. Box this lap.

We're going to have an aero P3 6th gear at turn 9.

Alonso to Puskis, just starting a lap now.

Not improved on that.

On that 19.4.

So Alonso pushing five back.

After Alonso, we've got two cars on outlaps, Lawson and I say Leclerc and Lawson, two and a half, Fernando to one coming through.

Coming through.

Through cars behind outlap. So aero E36 gear after turn nine.

We have Leclerc coming through. Sorry, he's four back.

Right, so good on the aero cruise here. Five seconds to Fernando ahead.

Good position there. All good there, buddy.

Can we all get this? Are we going to be boxing this lap?

Let's hit box box.

Can we pull up behind him, mate? Nice and easy, pulling up behind. Yeah.

Yeah, guys are just going to push forward, but if you just pull up, the guys will deal with you.

Two seconds, mate, two seconds.

OK, we are 4-0-0, four-back time lap.

OK.

OK, who backed Fornarello pushing?

Piastri's slow lap car behind.

1.50 through three.

No SM now.

I think the car behind Piastri, he has just finished a time lap and the car behind him outlapped, so we are in sync with those guys.

So 150 through turn nine. Nice and gentle here.

So, SM on after…

OK, so no threats behind here.

That's behind here. So recharge off turn 12.

I'm on hot-pedal.

If you can, shift 5. If you can, do not compromise the lap.

Right, so yeah, good.

So, yeah, good improvement there. Can we have shift 5, please? Shift 5.

That leads to a time-lapse. Pierre did an 8.

Pierre did an 18.5.

Still a tiny bit to go in sector three.

Yeah, dark sound, but...

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

Okay, copy. Sainz pushing three and a half.

Through. Next car, Fornarelli. He is four and a half back behind Leclerc.

Pornarelli now the car behind coming.

We are behind coming through now.

Fires are cooling down.

Cooling down. Yeah, mate, it's going to be double cool through the pitlane. Would you like a flap adjust?

Wassa next car pushing. About two back. He's just coming through this gaggle now.

One coming through.

Copy.

It does look like we...

Sorry, 14 with a brake application.

Is lifting less and just carrying more minimum. We do come through 13 faster, however.

Yeah, I could do it, but I would say I could probably blame it on the 14, for some reason, I lost two tenths.

Yes, mate, yeah, so that's the main time loss on the lap, I think. The rest of the lap we look pretty strong. Let's just try and put another lap together here.

We're going to investigate T14, but boxing and driving through the pitlane, so just confirming no flap adjust.

If you need a little bit more high-speed support, I would just look at nudging that up to 11 or 12 here, so through the pitlane.

I don't need any more suburbs.

Copy that.

So just got Bortoleto going past now, starting a time lap. Big gap behind to Stroll, who is just finishing a time lap.

So, Stroll is keeping his speed up here, two and a half back.

I think he's backed off now.

So we think Iwasa in turn one is sustainable.

Yeah, mate. So Wassa is two and a half back. He's just coming through Stroll now. Sustainable for Wassa now, the car behind coming through.

Mate, we would like to hold fourth gear through turn three, if possible.

1st or 5th?

Yeah, hold fourth gear, Yuki.

Last gear. He'll keep the revs up in that.

2-3 of all 13.

T-3. T-3.

Where you do the lift and then shift up, we can hold.

We can hold the gear.

Okay, okay.

Sorry, make sure it's a bit clearer there. Yes, just when you're doing that lift, it's going to help with keeping the revs up in there.

So it should be clear.

Leclerc is coming into turn 10 on a time lap.

OK, recharge off. Russell might be sustainable in here. Five and a half back. If we can stay ahead, it'd be good.

Go to Parc fermé.

So, going to go cool up here. So, first thing, Strat 7, please. It's got Russell.

27, please. Got Russell sustainable running two and a half back.

I've got a few HPP switches at 8.

Position 1.

Up to that HPP 10, position 3.

HPP 11, position 8. That's the last one.

OK, and then recharge off, mate. Just confirm recharge off, please.

Happy to keep this a little bit cool here.

Okay, hold on there.

Yes, Matt, happy to cool down here. Just cool down a little bit here. We'll go into sustainable running after this.

Under this, so Bortoleto outlap car behind. I think we're just going to be in sync with those guys now on sustainable.

Obviously it's high tech. Loose.

Los Angeles 10-0.

Limblad, I think, is sustainable, yes.

And Bortoleto behind will be sustainable. You've got four and a half to Limblad ahead or back to Bortoleto behind.

So, Fernando is five back on a time lap.

So happy to just go from here, I think.

Oh, back is Fernando.

Just going to sustain, we'll run into the end here.

Recharge off, please mate, recharge off.

It's so fucking hard to play at that.

Well, stop.

It's up now. Yeah.

I might be right in the next corner.

It was still on.

Yeah, we need to look at that. Might be a switch position. Let's just focus here, mate.

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

Thanks for the peep, mate.

I've got my left screw.

Nice.

Expecting around nine to ten laps here, mate.

OK.

Stay up with the...

With the bias using too much slipstream over here, so I'm braking.

I think I'll just go forward here.

With a lot of search and one lap left. Copy.

Yes, maybe so. That will come back to you on it.

Up here, for certain.

Climb clear for search.

Yeah, we see. We'll come back.

HPP 12, position 3.

80 centi meter.

Yeah, cop, we were trying to understand it, mate.

Use notch forward again on bias.

Let's just work on that brake profile. We are attacking the pedal hard.

We're going to go to the medium tyre, so let's just push on the in-lap, please. We want to push this in-lap.

Right, so yeah, box this lap, just box confirm please.

I think this is going to be a single crew stop.

Cruise stop, medium tyre, no adjust.

Stopping on the marks and we'll do a decent hour lap, please.

Come in, so we'll take a good outlap here.

If we can, we've got box attitude back. If we can stay ahead of him, that'd be helpful.

Copenhagen last, South-East.

Reloads.

Two-time lap, mate. Two-time laps.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

HPP 12, position 4, please. HPP 12, position 4.

11. Strat 11.

This will be your last time lap.

Come on, let's check a flag we want to push to turn one.

We want to push to turn one exit. Please keep pushing to turn one exit.

Come on, let's just get ready for a start here.

And I'd like to get an aero P3 6th gear after turn 9.

At turn nine, currently got three cars ahead of you.

Limblad three and a half ahead of us at the moment.

There's Bonaroli ahead of him as well.

That's good. It's about three and a half to Lindblad currently.

I'm going to say, yeah.

Yeah, good position here. No concerns behind, so you can open that gap.

And that's good. And if you can, strap 14, please mate, strap 14.

Right, so back to aero P1.

Exit turn 14.

Two burnouts. If you could do those spread out, please.

Spread out as you can. I'm pretty sure it's going to be tight down there.

It's going to be a left-hand side stop.

Cancer reminder, rolling bike point, learn out at 14.

Two burnouts spread out.

Spread out as much as you can.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

Strat 7. Strat 7.

And a static five-point lane. Strat seven, static five-point lane.

I'm happy to push to pit entry here.

That's a push to pit entry. We'll have a practice pitstop with no launch.

Box, box, box, box.

Just going to hop out, obviously appreciate it. It's a bit warm, isn't it?

You've got two fifths to talk about, Seagulls.

Sustainable towards the end. Think cabin.

Well, you just saw that.

Well done. Very hard.

I thought we'd take the opportunity of...

A pit stop. Unfortunately, I didn't quite get the full crew on, so I'll explain later.
