OK, Valtteri, that's 30 seconds to go. Seeing a lot of cars with brakes as well.

Yeah, copy. I'll try and leave a gap. Yeah, exactly. I imagine everyone will do the same. 15 seconds.

10 seconds.

And radio check on pit exit. Copy.

So, car ahead is Schwarzmann.

And behind you, the Russell. russellwhite.avaric.

Multi-A shift 3.

OK, looks like Vesti also possibly no brake. He's three seconds behind now.

That's diesel over two seconds behind.

Now, one second.

OK, Baljeet, so we'll box this lap for a live nose change. Copy.

Okay, so we change nose and then we continue.

You can stay in mode charge.

Okay, I expect you close to Berman on pit exit.

Affirmative, should be on a charge lap.

He's at one second behind you now. Slow lap.

First car pushing is Tsunoda. Tsunoda four seconds behind.

Suboted out two seconds.

So far, still clear behind.

OK, still clear behind. You can box this lap. Box, box. Copy.

Okay, Valtteri, I expect you close to award on pit exit. He should be pushing.

OK, he's got past. Next car behind should be Sainz. 7 seconds to pit in, please.

Okay, Valtteri, first car pushing, looks to be Dunham, still eight seconds.

That's five seconds to do hand pushing. Reference is Tsunoda on medium in 27.4.

Do not. Four seconds.

Now, three seconds.

Mode push when ready.

Mode charge, mode charge.

Expect Doohan pushing three seconds.

Seems to have constant sock.

That next one will be Piastri still six seconds.

Piastri, three seconds. Closing fast. Two seconds now.

OK, I guess Doohan aborted and there's now a 30 second gap behind him.

Okay, still a good gap behind.

Mode push, when you're ready.

Over the line, mode charge, mode charge.

And currently a big gap behind. We're currently P4. We have Tsunoda in 27.2 now.

And you can already go to SOC 2. First car behind, Piastri, coming out of the pit. He is five seconds behind.

Piastri, four seconds out up.

And in cornering to Tsunoda, it's just turn 9. The rest is BLS.

Piastri, two seconds out lap.

OK, still no-one pushing behind. First car is Tao in phase 7 seconds.

And Piastri is four seconds ahead in phase.

Three seconds to Piastri ahead.

Two seconds. Build it up to four seconds and then push.

Over the line mode charge and we can go for one more if you like. Question.

Yeah, copy. Got to do it. There are a few cars coming out of the pit ahead of you. We'll be in phase. First car behind is Teo, 5 seconds. Should be in phase.

Suggest B-Big 2 test for turn 6.

Copy. Tao in phase, two seconds behind. Then there's a 20 second gap.

O'Sullivan pushing. Five seconds.

Hosel will close quickly, now three seconds.

One second, O'Sullivan.

Next one pushing is Dennis, still nine seconds.

Denis pushing six seconds now.

Four seconds. Mode push when you're ready. Mode push.

Over the line mode charge and we can box this lap. Box, box. Copy.

First car pushing. Berm at 9 seconds.

Berman, seven seconds. Magnussen ahead of you on the charge lap.

That's still five seconds to Berman and after that is Sainz in the third with four seconds.

4 seconds on. Box, box.

Copied. Box.

Okay, Valtteri, so first car pushing behind will be Tao. He's currently three seconds after that should be clear.

First car pushing is Ricciardo, still 13 seconds.

11 seconds, Ricciardo. After him is Piastri, a further four, and then Schwarzmann, three seconds.

Now, six seconds, Ricardo.

Still four seconds, Yuki. I don't mind. Push when you're ready. I'm going to push.

Over the line mode charge. Let's do a double charge. I think we need it. Yeah, copy.

And you can go to SPARC before turn 13. I've got this massive understeer, so any suggestion how I can open the diff there? Copy. Standby.

OK, a car behind you in three seconds is Tao. He's on the second of his double charge.

Okay, now single behind, possibly pitting.

There's currently no-one pushing behind.

OK, Valtteri, so we can go around once more to do a second charge. Copy.

And for turn 13, there's nothing we can do on the car. We'll have to do a reprogram for it. Copy.

Sock three. Sock three.

And behind me, eight seconds, we have Dennis opening a lap.

Dennis will close fast. Six seconds.

Okay, now we're ready. Four seconds. Three.

Next one is Piastri outlap, seven seconds.

We're currently in P7. As a reference, we have Gasly in P3 on a 26.7.

And it's pretty much just BLS so far.

Piastri, five seconds out lap.

Three seconds Piastri and there's a 20 second gap behind him.

Suggest to test BMIC 2 for turn 1 and turn 5.

OK, position looks good. You've got a five-second gap ahead. Mode push when you're ready. Mode push.

Over the line mode charge. Box this lap. Box, box. Copy.

Timing is getting tight. Let's go faster. OK. OK, I'll push. There's some traffic there in sector 1. Yes, we saw Russell pushing five seconds behind.

Russell is on high fuel. Four seconds.

OK, Valtteri, we think we lost one and a half tenths of the traffic. And currently we're B2 at the session.

Russell, three seconds behind, pushing on a high fuel.

That's two seconds, Russell.

1.5 seconds. Russell off to him. It's clear.

And boxes lap, boxes lap.

Okay, you can come back to mode alt again.

And we will go for R, that's option B. And we will go for R, that's option B. Copy. Yes, copy.

Okay, so you should come out behind Tsunoda. First car pushing is Hadjar. He should be three seconds behind now. I expect most cars to be on high fuel.

Okay, hard job. Could be slow. First car pushing Dennis. Dennis is 9 seconds.

Dennis, seven seconds.

Now two seconds and after that is Berman. He's still on 9.

That's five seconds to Berman now. There's 11 seconds behind him.

Three seconds about him.

1.5. Okay, next car behind is Tao, in phase. First one pushing is Gasly, 10 seconds.

Gasly still eight seconds, Berman three seconds ahead, high fuel.

Now five seconds of urban high fuel. Mode push when you're ready. Mode push.

Okay, mode charge, mode charge, and that was the chequered flag.

Okay Valtteri, so we'll take a start on the grid from the left-hand side. We target one burnout, just one burnout.

And remember to not engage neutral.

Mode RS and keep RS till turn 6. If you can, test special for turn 9.

And Valtteri, I'll patch you through to Sky soon.

Happy Friday. It was okay actually. We had quite a few error tests in the beginning with the rakes and stuff. But yeah, got it all done and then had a bit of a feel of the soft compound about the balance. So, so far all good.

It's hard to say if it's a good one for me, but I mean, it's okay as a track, especially when they change the layout, I like it a bit more with a bit more flow. So, yeah, it's good for racing for me.

The last sector is a pretty technical section. Especially during the day, these tyre temperatures shoot up on the rear end.

Radio check for 2.

Copy, radio check, radio check. So, baseline brake bias 64-65 and 8 clips back.
