Radio check in pitlane. Loud and clear in the pitlane.

I'll be straight out. I've got Norris. Sorry, Norris. Just about to start a lap. Turn 17. Nine seconds to Norris. Now seven. Casing temp's looking good. Six to Norris. On a lap.

Norris still at 6.

5 to Norris. And you do have the magic available if you need it. Still 5 to Norris.

So 8 now to Norris.

So, first corner lap will now be Piastri. 12 seconds to him.

Still 11 seconds behind Piastri.

OK, so 11 behind to Piastri. Just got those three cars ahead of you building their gaps. Now 9 seconds behind. 8 seconds.

7, 6, 5, 4, 3 to Piastri.

Cars behind Piastri are on outlaps.

No transcript available

Gap ahead 4. It'll be strat 7. Got it. Good to go.

Got it. Good to go.

Quite a big bump up 16. Yeah, I can see it. He's currently got no rear end.

Mark it for a bit of bottoming.

Brakes, they were just sliding around a lot.

It's currently P3.

And there is scope to come up on diff entry.

Park at 4 oversteer through 11.

We're still sliding a lot.

3.5 to Sargeant.

Maintain time lost currently. Turn 12, braking.

Pace.

So, that's P6. Lewis, this is a 40.4 P5.

Leclerc currently fastest on a 38.9.

So you've got Ricciardo four and a half behind.

Three to Ricciardo. On a lap. Now two to Ricciardo. On a lap.

He's got Sargeant Carr behind. He's backed off but he's at 2. And there's 7 behind Sargeant.

So that'll be Magnussen. Next car, he's at six seconds on a lap.

Magnussen at 5 on a lap. He's got Ocon 3 behind him. Magnussen now 4, now 3, 2.

And then three seconds behind him to Ocon. And you've got an 11.12 second gap behind Ocon.

So Lewis just gone at P1 with a 38.9.

Just keep the weaving up. Keep on top of those PU temp warnings.

So you've got six behind to Leclerc on a lap and you've got six ahead to Ocon.

6 behind until Leclerc. Now 5. Behind him 7 seconds. 4 to Leclerc. Now 3. 2. That'll be 7 seconds to Alonso on a lap.

5 to Alonso. 4.

3, 2 seconds and then it's straight to Hulkenberg.

5 to Hulkenberg. 4 to Hulkenberg. There'll be 5 behind him to Stroll. 2 to Hulkenberg.

Then it'll be 5.5 to Stroll. Clear behind Stroll.

Torque. Back it off for the next lap. 3, 2. It's not clear. Not clear to us.

Traffic? Clear behind 2. Magnussen, 10 seconds.

Just massively sliding the rear at the moment. Yeah, I don't know if you want to come in and make an adjust.

Just look to be lapping in casing temperature. Magnussen backed off behind.

Lacking pace and temperature, you think?

By the end of that lap it seemed to be getting worse and worse.

Okay, understood. Keep looking in.

So, first corner lap will be Hulkenberg's at 17 seconds.

Let's return 10 and 11. I've got much less rear end than I had in the lap 2 and 3.

Magnussen on a slow lap. You've got 19 ahead.

And 11 seconds behind Magnussen.

I'll be strat 2 next lap.

Strat 1, box box.

I need more rear end end to brake him.

Front isn't a problem.

Yeah, understood. We'll get ready in the box.

So if we can have a cruise mode 4, turn 10, turn 11.

Still clear behind. And then cruise mode 5. Exit turn 12.

Twelve seconds behind.

And a crew 7 to cancel.

Box, box. We'll stop on the marks and do an aero 0. Switch off. I have the cone in front.

Five long, ten to the right, but good speed into the box.

Straight out, you're maxed out on the long side. And then clear behind. 17 seconds behind to Hulkenberg, just about to open our lap.

Gap ahead 5. Hulkenberg behind 15.

B-Bal offset plus one.

Sainz on a slow lap ahead, leaving 15 behind.

Strat 2. What's the Haas doing? He's just got himself a gap of 4 seconds. He'll be doing consecutives. Gap 5 seconds.

Sainz car behind just completed a lap. Four seconds. Advice on tyres.

So, probably want to keep the pace up. I wouldn't drop too much temp out of these tyres.

Just lacking that raw grip. Both axles are predominantly rear.

And blue 5, position 2. Blue 5, position 2. First car on lap Bottas, 27 seconds.

George, just confirming you're happy to stay at the same green 6 position.

So you've got 15 seconds ahead of two cars now building a gap.

There's two cars there, Albon and Zhou. Al-9, 8. Just Zhou. Be strat 2 next. Good to go. And 7 ahead to Zhou. He's gone.

Carbines. Carbines. Just going to start a lap. Four seconds. Three.

Two seconds to go to be on my lap. And then it's 6 to Albon.

4 to Albon. 3 and he's got Magnussen 3 behind him. 2 to Albon.

Pace. So currently P6. Lewis is P4 on a 37.0. The main losses are in the turn 5 braking, turn 12 braking and turn 4 braking, which seems to be the initial hits.

Yes, I turn 14 at braking. That was Piastri on a lap behind. That's 8 seconds. Now we have green 6, position 3.

Sorry, 3, 2 to Piastri and 7 behind him.

Now you've got Norris next car on our lap. Seven seconds.

Six. I don't have a single lap.

They're on the medium at the moment, both Piastri and Norris. They might do consecutives. You've got five behind two and Norris.

Got four ahead. Tyres look to be in a good window. It'll be strat 2 next lap.

Three behind to Norris, six ahead.

Four seconds to Gasly.

16. Between 16 and 17. Copy that. Just keep an eye on Norris. 4, now 3. He looks like he's still pushing. 2 to Norris. That's 12 seconds behind him.

I have a green 8, position 8.

And we've got Esteban car behind on a lap 8 seconds.

So, yeah, braking at that time looked much better. 6, now 5, 4 to Esteban.

3, 2, and then he's got Albon 6 behind him.

Albon now at 5.

Four, three, eleven seconds behind Albon. Two seconds.

Suggest less speed. Turn 14. Gap behind. Nine seconds to Lewis on a lap.

Gap 7. He's got two cars on slow laps behind him. Gap about 5.

So, be clear behind. Just got Stroll on a slow lap. Pace. Fastest at the moment is a 36.7. I'll be strat 2 next lap. Good to go.

Five seconds to Stroll just completing his lap too.

Now in shift turn one-fourth of third. That's four.

Copy that. Stroll, 3 and a half, he has backed off.

AFM, I will box this lap.

Still the rear end I'm struggling with. Got a grain in front right.

George, just let me know if you do think you need another lap.

I mean, we can try it, but I think my tyres are pretty much gone. I don't think it's a necessity. OK. All box, box.

Are you still approving lap 5 or not?

No, don't. You've got Albon on a lap. He's at 5 seconds. We don't see people improving. So now 4 seconds to Albon. 3 seconds.

2 to Albon and clear behind him. So we'll box-box end of this lap.

Box, box. Stop any marks and switch off.

That was five long, five to the right.

Should we go straight into the long one? Yeah, so if we strat 6, straight into it. Go straight out. You've got 9 seconds behind.

No transcript available

It's 12 seconds behind.

B-Bal offset plus one.

I have understeer at turn 5 and oversteer at turn 8.

B-Bal offset plus one. B-Bal offset plus one. B-Bal offset plus one. B-Bal offset plus one.

Still sparking quite a lot out of it. More than others, I think.

So Lewis, lap 1 was a 41.1.

Lewis, lap 2 was a 40.0. We just need to manage these tyres to an 18 lap stint.

So we've got scope to come forwards on brake bias and main lap time losses do seem to be in those braking zones again.

And there's 39.6 on lap 3.

Lewis, last lap 40.2.

Just to introduce more management, entry turn 3. Just looking after those tyres.

So Lewis, last lap was a 40.6. He's struggling now with his front tyres. So keep on top of that tyre management.

Blue 5, position 2.

Brakes are a bit lumped, but better back up.

Yeah, copy that. I think it might be driven by temperature.

Inside shoulder, both fronts are green. That's Lewis now, 40.1.

Targeting another 9 or 10 laps from here.

On my front to go.

No transcript available

Lewis, last lap was a 40.0.

My brakes are totally gone. I can't go around the corners now.

Thank God, unless you want to try and call it in Africa again.

Happy to go for a slow lap and go again if you think that might bring them back, George. Copy. You've got Norris three seconds behind.

Norris at 2.

And then you've got six seconds behind him to Albon.

5, 4, 3 to Albon and he's got 8 behind him. Main different. Come back to me unless you think otherwise.

I doubt they'll come back, but... OK, yeah, but are we... For the next set. Are we going straight and hulk for the next lap? Next set? Yep, next set. 4 to hulk for third. 3 to hulk, so we'll box, box, and let me know how much flap you want to add for this 2 to hulk. On a slow lap. No flap needed. Just need to keep the front in the control zone now.

So be straight out. It's all clear behind.

So we just need to get on top of that tyre management early on in this stint.

So six to off on the head. Which one is spinning? Three. And on traction at 10.11 on throttle.

So I think we'll get nine laps on this soft set. So I'll manage this set.

Blue 5, position 1.

Let me know. I'm patient. If I don't push the tyre, I can't get my temper and it's just slow.

So we're happy at 41.0.

George, we need to introduce a bit more management turn 3 entry, but we can drop some of that management turn 11, just for sliding.

Have a great day. Bye-bye.

Turn right, turn left. Copy.

So we'll keep going, one more.

Rear is gone.

Yeah, there you go. We will box end of this lap.

So we're all box, box, stop on the marks and switch off.

Straight out. 60 seconds. Perez alongside, on a lap. Now clear behind.

Yellow flag, turn 5. Verstappen down the escape road.

Let me know what you want me to do with temps and tyres on this lap. Probably be handy to keep it where we are. Yeah, A-firm. Roughly where we are.

Yeah, happy to target plus five from here.

Ricciardo two seconds behind on his lap.

Next car is Lewis. Seven seconds.

6 to Lewis.

5 to Lewis.

3 to Lewis. Chequered flag is out.

And then we'll just get into representative formation lap driving.

Keep working the tyres.

Gap behind. You've got three to Joep, behind him for 10 seconds. Two to Joep.

So we'll be coasting down from the pitlane entry.

And then we'll have four burnouts and a start from the right-hand side.
