So the first car starting this lap is Stroll. He's just crossing the start line.

So you've got four seconds, three seconds to stroll behind. He's on a push lap.

And then now you've got a nine second gap to Ricciardo on an outlap. Let's go recharge off at turn 5 and then we can push up to turn 6.

And then we can continue pushing up to turn 9 and then we'll go recharge on and box this lap. Still 17 seconds to Ricciardo behind.

So still no threat behind and we'll box this lap.

So if you could just drive around Jack and then we'll change the front wing and go back out again.

OK, Piers, we can go recharge on.

Copy. Can you just confirm the wind direction and speed? Yep. You've got Russell behind, two seconds back, just finished a time lap. So he should be in sync with some of these guys behind. Wind is low to moderate, tailwind into turn 1.

And then track temp currently 39 degrees.

So you've got three seconds to Russell behind. He is going slow on a slow lap.

So we can focus on our outlap.

So we've got seven seconds to Vesti behind on a time lap.

Who's ahead? And you've got Behrmann ahead of you.

So Behrmann is on the medium. You've got three seconds to Vesti behind.

Two seconds to besty.

One second.

So we can go recharge off at turn 16 and reset your shape.

Yeah, completely understeer. I'll push next one, I'll run wide. OK, copy that, we'll go recharge on. We've got two seconds to Behrman behind opening his lap.

Massive understeer on turn 1. For that we're looking. We've got five seconds to O'Sullivan. He's just started a lap.

So we've got three seconds to Ul Sullivan behind us. Ul Sullivan just under two seconds now.

So there's no threats behind. Besti still the car behind. So we've got the back right modifier available for turn 1.

What's the pace at the moment?

So we've got Russell in P1 with a 27.7. So still no threats behind, so we'll recharge off 16.

Okay, Pierre will go recharge on. So that lap currently P3.

You are currently P5 in sector 1 and sector 3 and P3 in sector 2. Car behind is Vesti. He's just finished a lap with you two and a half seconds back.

And then we've got O'Sullivan five seconds back.

He is on a push lap. He is on a push lap. Two seconds to O'Sullivan. Two seconds to O'Sullivan.

And then now the next car back is Behrmann.

And he's still eight seconds back.

So, correction, Behrmann now three seconds behind. We'll watch out for him.

And behind him is Award. Award showing on a cool-down lap, but just watch out for him. Three seconds.

Yeah, we believe O-Ward is on an out lap.

And then no threats behind O-Ward.

So looking at the data, it looks like the wind is more of a tailwind coming out of 8 and into 9.

Copy. So we're still P4, Russell's just done a 26.9 on medium.

Is that all where it went?

The award is four seconds up the road, opening his lap.

Yeah, front, I'm locking the front everywhere.

Copy that. Are you happy with front wing? Yeah, let's box and put some more. Okay, box this lap.

Would you like to go plus two?

Let's do plus for three, yeah?

Oh, that's A plus too, yeah.

Copy. We'll go plus two on the front wing, Pierre.

If you can help me with braking, I don't know, do we need a shape or roll offset? Yep, we'll just have a look.

So you've just got Dennis just past you. He's finishing a lap and then Sainz 11 seconds back opening a lap.

And if we could please get ALE, FAIL, A-7-4 on. FAIL, A-7-4 on. And we've got four seconds to Sainz behind.

Two seconds to science.

Oh, can you check? Did I have the brake shape 5 or... I don't think the last lap. We're looking into that. And we've got seven seconds to Doohan behind. He's on a time lap.

I think it was the wrong brake shape on the last lap.

And we've got two seconds to Doohan. Watch out for Doohan.

So we've got decent gap to cars behind now. Pierre Sargeant, the next car back, pushing 16 seconds back. The fail we just did will have corrected a sensor which may have impacted braking. So we'll give it another go this lap.

What should I do to stick to minus one, brake shape three?

Affirmative, we're happy with offset minus one and shape three. So we've still got eight seconds to Sargeant behind.

And gap to Dennis in front is 4.5.

So we'll go recharge off at 16. Two seconds to Sargeant.

Okay, Pierre will go recharge on.

And if you're happy to come in, we can swap to the next tyre. But if you want another lap, let me know. Yeah, I'll be happy to get another lap here. I've been really clean so far. Copy. So we've got 12 seconds to Ricciardo behind.

Yeah, generally quite a bit of front sliding, mid-corner of these long corners. Copy that. So Ricardo is on a slow lap.

And that lap was, so P7.

So sector 1, we're currently P8. That's our biggest time to gain. We've got six seconds behind Porsche.

And three seconds to the car behind. He's on a time-lap.

Next car pushing behind is Stroll. He's 10 seconds back.

And we've got six seconds to stroll behind and suggest using the back right for turn 6.

And we're four seconds to the car behind. He's on a time-lap.

And two seconds to the car behind.

The next car back is Ricardo, 11 seconds back. He's on a slow lap, so no immediate threats behind.

Watch out for... Duhan is just a car behind, still on an outlap.

And we believe Jack is boxing as well.

So we'll be boxing this lap.

If you can drive through the box to the boys.

So we've got Ricciardo just crossing the start-finish. Just watch out for him, he's just finished. And we'll let him through.

What is he on? Long run or...?

Yep, stand by, we've got six seconds to him.

He's doing fast, slow, fast on the medium. So, just under four seconds, Hajar.

So we can go recharge off at 16 and reset your shape.

So we'll go recharge on, recharge on, and we'll be doing double cool. Yeah, no grip, last sector was the rear. Copy that. So that lap's currently P2. Russell in P1 with a 26.0.

So car behind is O'Sullivan. He's just leaving the pits on used soft.

Felt like a decent grip start of the lap, but yeah, big drop at the end. Copy that. We've got Sainz behind four seconds back on a time-lap. He's in a group with Russell and Schwarzman, so we'll just watch out for the three of them. Two seconds behind.

And we're happy to keep the pace down to cool these tyres. We've got eight seconds to Drogovic behind.

And Drugovic is on a time lap.

3 seconds to Djokovic. I'm happy to do the pit entry if it takes a bit longer. Copy that. If you'd like to box this lap, box this lap for a drive-through.

And we've got Behrmann behind four seconds back. Three seconds to Behrmann.

And are you happy with front wing? Yeah, yeah, I'm happy. I have to have a look at front tyres in turn 9 because understeer is too much there.

Yep, copy that. So we'll box this lap. We can go recharge off at pit entry.

So, once you're out of pit exit, we'll go recharge on.

And we've got Stroll eight seconds back, just starting a time lap.

So, Stroll is three seconds behind.

And we've got four seconds to push air behind on a time lap.

So Bottas is the car behind on a slow lap five seconds back and suggests using the back left for turn 10 so we can switch off the back right and switch the back left on coming out of turn 9.

And next car back pushing is Ricciardo. He's 15 seconds back, so you should be clear to open your lap.

So we'll go recharge off at 16 and reset your shape.

OK, Pierre, we'll go recharge on. And you've got Bottas behind. Happy to box. So we'll box this lap. So Bottas behind just finished a time lap with you. He's five seconds back.

Yeah, the back right toggle on the previous lap I thought would be good for the understeer but I actually upset the rear too much, so... OK, mate, we can take a look. It was better on this lap in the last sector.

Yep, there's some good stuff to look at there. No threats behind currently, so we'll be boxing this lap.

So we'll box, Pierre, box, and if you can, do three burnouts in the pitlane.

So we've got Ricciardo just finished a lap. And then we have a 14 seconds gap to Piastri behind.

Okay, Pierre, and if you'd like to reset fastest lap, we could go fail A04 on. Fail A04 on.

Can you copy on the pace of signs because I'm miles off? Yep, other guys on mediums are doing mid 31s.

So, Sainz on Scrub Soft was doing mid-30s.

But he finished the run at 31.0.

And we're not sure about Sainz's fuel load. Russell on medium. Last lap was a 31.6.

Okay, Pierre, if we could get fail B-0-0 off. Fail B-0-0 off.

And if we can go SOC 5, SOC 5. Got two laps remaining.

And Pierre, we can go display 5. Display 5.

Verstappen.

And that's four o'clock on the multi.

Guys, you must be kidding. Display 5, I have no more info on the dash.

Copy, Pierre. We'll look into that.

So we'll keep pushing. This will be the last push.

Okay, Pierre, we'll go recharge on, recharge on and cool the car. We can go SOC 6 and we'll be going to the grid. There's a yellow flag ahead of you.

And if we could do an aero cruise out of turn 5. Aero P4 5th gear after turn 5.

Okay, thank you for that, Pierre. If we could go SOC 6. SOC 6.

And then as we approach the grid, we'll be doing two burnouts after turn 16.

And we've got a VSC, VSC, so no overtaking.

How many burnouts? So we'd like two burnouts coming out of turn 16, so we can go recharge off two burnouts on the racing line if possible, and then we'll do a pull-up on the grid on the right-hand side for a static bite point learn and a start.

Okay Pierre, so we can push until turn 12. You've got a double yellow where you are. As you see. So if we can, then we'll go aero cruise, aero P4, 5th gear after turn 5.

So, for your start feedback, the drop and feed-in was good, but the drive-out was a bit aggressive, first and end of second gear. Copy.

Yep, so virtual safety car ending, VSC ending. We are boxing this lap for a tyre change and if we can do three burnouts in the pitlane, we'd like three burnouts in the pitlane.
