Radio check. Yes, loud and clear. Yep, likewise. So Norris the lead car at turn 13.

Norris, just into turn 1.

So in front we've got Yuki at two and a half seconds and Sainz at a second.

Track is clear in front of them.

Norris, 25 seconds back.

Norris has backed out. Piastri, first car pushing 30 seconds back. Make sure you've got a gap to the guys in front. Straight into it.

Says Max in turn 12.

He's a second and a half behind.

So energy is good to keep on pushing.

Energy is good to push again.

What is the current pace? Sainz P1 with a 39.8, Leclerc 40.0, Max 40.0.

Complete this lap and then we'll go for a charge. Get some fast life fast.

OK. Recharge on.

How are the tyres at the end there? Yeah, still coming up.

So, Hamilton pushing at four seconds.

Hamilton at three seconds.

Two. One. Coming through. Okay, the tyres were plus 18 opening that last lap. Plus 18 in turn 14.

Sir, I wouldn't drop any more temperature than that. Strat 8. Strat 8 and mode 1. Strat 8, mode 1. Next car pushing is Gasly, 11 seconds back.

OK, so Leclerc on the soft, 38.9.

There's a little grip at nine seconds.

So I recommend keeping track position. We're at eight and a half seconds now.

Sir Gasly still at six seconds. B-Charge off in turn 14.

How are the tyres on that lap?

Yeah, they got together with the track, so it keeps getting better. OK, they were plus 22 in the front, 19 on the rear. Yuki pushing at four seconds. Do you think there's some room to cool them down?

First of all, Yuki at 2, 2 seconds, and then Gasly at 7 seconds. Yuki 3, Gasly at 5 seconds.

I look to be in a sensible window.

I'll drop behind Gasly. I think track position is the main thing. Drop behind Gasly and then you've got a reasonable gap.

Gasly at 3.5 seconds.

Gasly still at three seconds. There's a good gap behind Gasly.

Strat 3. Strat 3. So there is a 13 second gap behind Gasly.

Okay, so you've got 14 seconds to Sargent now. What is the current lap? The current pace? 38.3 for Leclerc, 38.5 Sainz, 38.6 for Max.

It's a nice gap to Gasly. He might go again and then recharge off.

Torque 11 is available for late entry stability if you need it.

OK. Recharge on.

Would you learn from another lap or should we go on to the soft compound?

OK, let's do one more lap. I want to cool down the tyres. Copy. Hamilton coming through, two seconds. Piastri just behind him. So Hamilton through now, Piastri one second behind.

OK, no immediate threats.

Engine 9, position 3. Engine 9, position 3, minus 2.

Checo, we've got plenty more stuff running available to us. Plenty more low fuel. I'm not sure there's a huge amount to gain from another lap on the medium.

Rebox is down. OK, rebox is in.

No immediate test behind. Sainz pushing four seconds.

So, rolling by point 5.

Then the track will be clear.

Search tank's all nice and clear. If it will help, B-Bal 2 is available.

Get a feel into turn 1. B-Bal 2 is then available if you need it. In front you've got Stroll at 17 seconds on an out lap. Behind Sainz at 8 seconds on an out lap. It's all nice and clear.

OK, so track is clear. We charge off when you're ready.

OK, recharge on.

Yeah, the front tyres were a snower to open up the lap. Let's see if it gets better with more temperature.

Yeah, copy. We're plus seven, plus four on the front.

So no threats behind.

OK, Scientist P1 with a 36.9. Mostly sector 1.

These guys are on outlaps.

Okay, so four cars in front to open laps.

And the handbrake is available if the fronts aren't there opening the lap.

No-one on a lap behind.

The grip is totally over the system, Aaron. Okay, let's drop some tyres and you can back out. Let's charge that, back out the charge lap. Got Zhou pushing at four seconds. Zhou at four seconds.

And suspect Hamilton will open the lap as well. Zhou at two seconds, one coming through.

Okay, no immediate thirds behind.

So your tyres were plus 15 all round, just like that last lap. We can manage this charge lap a fair bit more.

Leclerc pushing at three seconds.

And got Yuki at four seconds.

Yuki at three seconds. It's all clear behind him. Just a few people on outlaps. Yuki, one and a half, one. Coming through.

I don't know what the Alfa was doing there. We ended up blocking Yuki. Sorry.

Okay, there's no immediate effect behind now. Everyone behind on charge laps or outlaps.

Set a scope to manage the pace on the run to 14. Drop as much temperature as we can.

Okay, so a nice gap to max. At least five seconds.

Be charged off when you're ready.

OK, V-Charge on and we'll box at the end of this lap.

So, Daniel, just opening a lap. Three seconds.

Daniel, two seconds.

1, coming through. And then Sargeant, 2 seconds. Also pushing.

One. Coming through. Clear behind Sargeant.

36.6 for Leclerc, 36.7 for Sainz, 36.9 for Max, 36.9 for Hamilton.

So Leclerc first car pushing eight seconds back.

Where are you? Are we boxing now?

Get on to a fresh set. Go with the programme.

Got Leclerc. Two seconds.

So no immediate threats behind.

OK, so box via practice pit stop and switch off.

Track is all clear.

OK, so truck is clear.

Recharge off when you're ready.

OK, so recharge on and cool the tyres. Looking for plus 10 and you're opening a lap four seconds back. You can really manage the pace here. Target plus 10 on the dash.

Daniel, three seconds back.

One. Coming through.

Okay, how was that opening lap?

Yeah, um...

It's on the low side. I think it was better, but it was on the low side. I still have the grip.

Okay, copy. Got max pushing at seven seconds.

As I say, it's drop temperature. The targeting plus standard can really manage it here. Max four seconds.

Two. One. I've got Hulkenberg at six seconds and it's all clear behind him. Hulk at four.

1. OK, no immediate threats. Piastri at 14 seconds. Next car.

What's the current pace? Sainz P1, 36.3.

2 tenths sector 1, 2 and a half tenths sector 2 and tenths to Sainz in sector 3. So Piastri is six seconds back pushing. Five.

Piastri at 3, 2, 1. Then Zhou at 7 seconds. So recharge off when you're ready.

Okay, no fats behind.

Tsunoda pushing six seconds.

Tsunoda, three seconds.

3, 2, 1. Okay, no threats.

What happened there? What were you booked? Man, I didn't find a grip.

So, everyone around on charge laps or out laps.

Four cars to open laps in front.

P1, now Leclerc, 35.7.

That just isn't his P1. That's his second.

How much faster? One second.

Okay, so make sure you've got the gap and VTOLed off when you're ready.

Yeah, it was too close.

Zhou is pushing behind three seconds.

Okay, Zhou looks to have backed out.

Magnussen at seven seconds, first car pushing.

I'm unsure what Piastri and Tsunoda are doing in front.

Tsunoda to go for the next lap.

Schnelle, left brake verboten, push laps here.

Ocon pushing, three seconds, two.

Breakthrough. Stroll with the next car pushing. Five seconds.

OK, recharge on. You can keep up the pace and we'll box at the end of this lap.

Where are we at? OK, so that's P3. We've got Leclerc 35.6, Sainz 35.8. And ourselves, Bottas P4, 36.1. Max 36.1.

We've got Albon pushing four and a half seconds back.

We're approaching the end of this lap. Go on with high fuel.

OK, so box via practice pit stop and switch off.

When I want to go out of the sum-up, where do I go? Just go to torque 10. So we've got Lewis in turn 17, go straight into our high fuel.

And the clerks come out just in front of you.

I'll drop behind Hamilton. There's a good gap behind him. 12 seconds behind Hamilton.

Well, we're going to stay here.

Just get you a bit of free air.

So you've got 11 seconds to Bottas. We'll just run it through you to start with.

Okay, we're looking at 10 time laps here. 10 time laps. Now we can get on with it.

So, front right is the primary concern.

Use the handbrake where you can. Look after the front boy.

So watch that peak pressure, turn 1, turn 5.

Watch out at turn 17. Some people complaining of some bumps there.

It's the recommendation to stay to the right on the run to turn 17 as you go under the bridge.

Was that better? Was that better?

Yeah, we haven't seen the bump just where other cars have.

What is the current pace for other people?

People doing high 39s.

Max this last lap 39.6. Leclerc 39.6 on a new medium.

Strat 11.

Hamilton ahead has degraded heavily on the medium.

Hamilton to last lap 42.1. Expecting him to pit.

Balance update. Yeah, front right going off.

Good job, boss.

Four laps after this one.

Strat 8. Strat 8. Three more laps.

Engine 7, position 1. Engine 7, position 1, minus 1.

Strat 7. Strat 7. Two laps.

Display 3, position 5. Display 3, position 5, plus one.

OK, so last lap here.

Yellows ahead. Yellows.

Strat 8. Strat 8. So there's the chequered flag.

Cool the tyres. Come back round for the grid start. Mode 12. Mode 12.

Is Max on the medium? Max on the medium.

He started on the soft and then pit-stopped it onto the medium.

OK, so a nice lift and coast into 14 and then part throttle from 16 onwards. It'll be three long burnouts, three long burnouts and a start on the left-hand side.

So, three long burnouts and a start on the left-hand side.

No by-point find, just straight into it.

Okay, B-charge on. B-charge on and build the gap to max.
