Okay Pierre, you've got five cars on track ahead of you. Esteban, the car in front. Piastri, the car behind. Okay, so the sync is on the radio. Check, please.

Everybody is on medium at the minute. Yep, copy that. Radio check loud and clear for me. You've got a 20 second gap ahead.

We still need to learn 7th and 8th gear, please.

Okay, so Pierre is the car behind. We just need to sink eighth gear if we can.

Okay, very good. Big gap ahead. Yeah, the car behind. All gears are learned. Let's go to tyre on the multi please, tyre on the multi.

Okay, good run down to 14 and five time laps.

So still no threats behind Esteban Ocon in front, so pick your gap. We'll go recharge off at 14 and remind you to reset your shape.

OK, let's push.

Keep pushing, please. No DRS. Keep pushing. No DRS.

OK, recharge on. That's good for me. OK, so Stroll out lap 35. The car behind just finished a timed. His first lap time 36.2.

How's the balance out there, please? No threats behind, so we can cool the tyres. Balance was OK, but the car goes left to right in the straightway. The wind is a bit odd. He just completed a time lap. OK, understood.

Okay, mate, so we're going to finish this call-up and then go for another push.

All cars on slow laps behind at the moment. Gap 5 seconds behind. We've got a 14 second gap in front, so I suggest we try and hold this position if we can. Gap behind 3 seconds to Piastri. So the sectors are fairly even at the minute. Behind Pierre is 5 seconds to Piastri.

No traffic risk behind. If Pierre wants to come past, that's fine.

Okay, so just have a look at the balance out there. We'll see what we get on the second lap. We would probably start with diff mid going up if we wanted to add some extra support there going up on diff mid. A close modify for 13 could be helpful as well with the forwards aero balance there because of the wind.

Okay, so we just need to watch for Hulkenberg coming through. He's about eight seconds behind. Sustainable run. Hulkenberg about ten seconds back. Six seconds back now. So we'll stay in front of him. Should be fine. Five seconds. We'll reset your shape and go recharge off and go again. Gap in front, five seconds. Just go recharge off and push.

Keep pushing, no DRS after the start finish line.

And if we can keep pushing to turn 1, DRS off please.

Thank you. We'll go recharge on. We can cool the tyres. That lap were P11. Esteban's last lap 35.2. Thank you for that. So gap behind to Verstappen. Time lap 7 seconds. Let's go for a cool and one more push. Verstappen 5 seconds now. Copy that.

Verstappen is a car behind. Three seconds to Verstappen. Watch out for him on a time lap. Ok, so we will have Hulkenberg and Magnussen coming through this time again. Sustainable running. Piastri just finished a time lap, but we've got Magnussen will be coming through. Magnussen and Hulkenberg five seconds back. I'm not sure if that's both or just one car. Just watch for those two, please. Two seconds behind.

Clear of traffic behind. Next car back, Piastri and then Norris, both slow laps. Okay, so P7 with that time. Pierre's second lap was a 35.9. And now Esteban, the car behind, no threats for a while. You're in sync with the cars around you.

OK, Esteban, the lap compared to Pierre looks good all the way through the lap, so let's just keep feeling the balance on the way round. How was it that time? Yeah, OK, a bit more overheating, but yeah, the wind is the biggest factor. Yeah, copy that, OK. OK, focus on recharging. We've got some time to hang on. This is turn 2. Still no threats behind.

Gap behind Piastri is 8 seconds, so we can make a gap. Just for info, Esteban, when you select aero on the multi, the delta will change to the outlap timing like you tried earlier, just for reference. Gap in front 3.5.

Make that gap. No traffic behind. Gap 3.5 still. 4, 5. Recharge off. Good to go.

Okay, Pierre, we'll go recharge on. Recharge on and we'll be boxing this lap. Okay, keep pushing, please. No DRS down to turn 1. Keep pushing. No DRS down to turn 1.

So we'll do an aero cruise after turn 10. No threats behind in the minute. Okay, that's good. Aero cruises now, please. Aero P4, down to turn 4. Aero P4, down to turn 4.

Copy that, we'll have a look.

So Esteban, the car behind, just finished a time-lap.

So he's in sync with you.

OK, so next one will be Aero P5 after turn 10. Watch for Magnussen, I think five seconds behind Magnussen or Hulkenberg. Their GPS is a bit dodgy.

Looks like they've backed off actually. Gap behind 8 seconds now.

So aero P5 after turn 10 down to 11 and then we're going to do one more aero cruise and box for a front wing adjust.

Ok, Piers will box this lap. Hulkenberg is 14 seconds back. Possibly Hulkenberg within. Hard to tell with the GPS. He's now 8 seconds back.

Okay, and then finally aero P3 down to turn 14. Can we make a gap to Pierre, please? Because he's also doing the same change. Watch for Magnussen behind.

Box, Pierre, box for a front wing flap adjust.

Okay, mate, let's box, please. Box now. Watch for Magnussen behind, I believe.

OK, let's make a gap pit entry, please. We're going to box and take off that front wing gurney.

Esteban in. Ok mate, so pull in behind Pierre if he's still in the box.

Okay, Esteban, so this might take a second. You'll be going on the lights just a normal pull away, please. We'll be repeating those aero cruises. So you've got Sargeant just going past now.

Okay, so Hamilton just leaving the last corner. It will be aero P4 after turn 3, please. Aero P4 after turn 3. You'll be clear pit exit.

Okay, that's good. And aero P5 after turn 10. Aero P5. Car behind is Tsunoda. 10 seconds on a timed lap.

Tsunoda six and a half behind. Clear behind him.

And we can go and recharge on. We'll be boxing this lap Verstappen four seconds back. So we'll box this lap here. Gap behind five seconds. Aero P5.

OK, that's good. Final aero cruise. Aero P3 after turn 13, please. Aero P3. Gap 6 seconds to Fernando pushing.

Fernando, three seconds. Aero, P3 and then box, please.

And box please. Box. Car behind. Six seconds to space.

Ok mate, it might be that Pierre's car is still in the box. Just nice and steady please up to the front of the garage. You'll be stopping in front of our garage.

The earpiece is working now as well.

OK, we have got a 10 minute turnaround here so we can change them if you'd like to.

I think let's keep going. It was maybe badly tuned my ear, you know what I mean? Okay, that's fine, as long as you're comfortable.

So it goes straight out. We can have recharge on. Piastri just finished a time lap. He's just ahead of you on pit exit.

And then you've got a large gap to Norris behind, completing the time lap. So no threats behind, we can focus on our outlap.

So we'll go recharge off turn 14. Let's go.

Okay, Pierre, we'll go recharge on, recharge on and cool lap.

Copy, we'll have a look. Hulkenberg 12 seconds back, opening the time lap.

And how's the balance?

Copy that, you've got four seconds to Hulkenberg behind on a time lap.

And now five seconds to Perez, also on a time-lap.

And two seconds to Perez.

Next car back is Verstappen. 20 second gap. He's on a time lap.

Okay, Pierre, that lap we did have a large tailwind gust turn 1-2. That could have been affecting things. We're still 12 seconds to Verstappen.

We've got five seconds to Verstappen behind, so we can go recharge off at 14 and we'll go again.

Okay, so we'll be going straight out. There will be some cars that come past us this time, unfortunately. Bit of oscillation with the pit limiter. Yeah, copy that. There's some background tests ongoing. Okay, so we have Verstappen start finish straight going slow. He's three seconds behind. And then Sainz about six seconds back, starting a timed lap.

OK, so Sainz is the car behind. Four seconds.

Remember, we're looking for plus two on the dash for tyre temps. Plus two. Sainz four seconds behind.

Not sure if Sainz has maybe backed off here. To be honest, we've got a 24 second gap in front.

Next car coming through will be Leclerc. Sainz has backed off. Leclerc time lap.

Leclerc, three seconds.

Next car pushing is Ricciardo. He's at turn 4 now.

If we can hold this position, apart from maybe Ricciardo, we're in a reasonable spot with clear track in front.

And we'll go recharge on, recharge on. So Bottas behind, starting the time-lapse. Scores coming through Ricciardo. Entry to turn 10 now, 7 seconds back. Pierre's last time-lapse, 35.1. Two seconds to Bottas. One hundredth quicker than your previous time. Ricciardo five seconds back. And then now you've got a large gap to Perez. Ricciardo two and a half. Perez has boxed, so you're clear for a while. That lap put you P15. Okay mate, next car coming through is Fernando. He's about eight seconds back. Sector 1, probably the most improved available. Fernando six and a half. Dry on the multi please, dry on the multi. Correction, tyre on the multi. Recharge off and push.

OK, let's push. Copy that, we're looking into it.

Okay, Pierre, there's potential we could go forwards on offset for turn 1 to try and help the rears, give you better traction.

Good try. Offset zero for turn 1.

Magnussen, the car behind, he's on a slow lap and then Esteban, the first car back, pushing 20 seconds back.

Okay, Piers, reminded to reset your shape. We'll go recharge off and let's do one more.

And recharge on. Please recharge on. No need to push. Watch for Magnussen starting a time lap now. Four seconds back.

Magnussen, two seconds, cars behind him on slow laps.

Okay, so we're going into a double cool, double cool. So we're going to look at braking into turn 1. Any other major issues for you that lap? No, apart from that, it wasn't too bad, but yeah, I don't know if it was a bit late.

A bit late, as in braking point. Yeah, but I did pick up a massive rear lock. Yeah, copy, we saw that. We're going to have a look and see if there's anything we can do to help there anyway. How was ride, please, as well on this lap? No traffic behind currently. Very similar. Okay, very good. Okay, so we'll go double cool, one more push and then we will box.

Next car pushing behind, Hulkenberg. Six seconds back time lap. He's a sustainable runner.

Hulkenberg, two seconds.

Okay, so the car's behind us at the moment. Sainz is on his first cool lap. Tsunoda on his second. So Tsunoda will definitely push. Not sure about Sainz.

And we'll go recharge on and we'll be boxing this lap. We'll box this lap.

Next car pushing, coming through is Fernando. 10 seconds back. Timed lap. And then he has Perez just behind him as well. Watch out for Bottas behind 3 seconds. Tsunoda will be pushing next lap. He's one and a half behind. If he wants to come past, that's fine.

Bottas could be doing a double-cool. No other threats behind at the minute.

Fernando's backed off. Perez the car behind, pushing. Two and a half seconds. So we could do an aero cruise out of turn 10. That'll be aero P for fifth gear out of 10. Okay, I expect Tsunoda and possibly Fernando to push. Watch for Fernando keeping his pace up. We're going into a second cool-up. Also watch for Verstappen. Five seconds back, a couple of cars behind.

Verstappen finishing a time now.

Okay, Russell, a car behind, finishing a timed lap.

And let's just watch out for Magnussen. Just finished the time-lapse. Sainz, two seconds behind him. Could be starting a timed unknown. So two seconds to Magnussen.

And we're clear behind. Car behind now. Leclerc starting a time-lap. He's five seconds back.

Clear behind Leclerc. Big 20 second gap.

Clear from traffic behind 20 seconds to Albon. We'll box here, box and we'll stop on the marks for a practice tyre change and switch off.

Okay, so now if we make this start procedure quite quick, should get Aaron to clear air.

OK, recharge off.

That was quick. Nice work. Car behind Tsunoda, 5 seconds. Piastri, 6 seconds ahead.

Yes ma'am, we're hoping for five time-laps after this.

Diff exit 5 when you can please. Diff exit 5 when you can please. Diff exit 5.

This man is going to be very close. I think four more laps. Four more laps.

Okay, it's going to be two more laps. We'll be, I think, the first car to take the chequered flag. Let's keep pushing. Two more to go.

The clipping is big in that mode.

OK, copy that, Esteban. That is expected at the moment, so let's keep going.

Ok, last timed lap. Last timed.

OK, so that is the chequered flag, so recharge on please, recharge on and cool the car.

Okay, so we are staying out on track and going to the grid to do a start.

OK, so Hamilton is just coming past you now. You've got a big gap behind. Can we go to clutch 3, please, on the multi? Clutch 3, that's bottom right.

Okay, so we've got Stroll the car behind. Four seconds. It looks like he's keeping his pace up, so just watch for him in your mirrors, please. And he's got a big gap behind him.

Okay, we are going to the grid at this point. We can continue cooling the car and cooling the tyres.

We are going to do two burnouts and a start on the left-hand side when we get there.

Okay, scenario 3 please, scenario 3. And after the start we'll be pushing to pit entry.

OK, two burnouts. A start on the left and push to pit entry.

There's only four cars in front, so she'll get a clear run hopefully.

Push to pit entry and then a practice pitstop.

OK, so box now, attack pit entry, attack the box and then switch off via practice pitstop.

No launch. No launch.

They're just going to keep you pushed forward in that position until Pierre does his stop. Another 30 seconds or so, then we'll get you back in the carriage.

Copy. The board came up too early, so I didn't have time to see the mark. Copy that. We'll just keep radio comms down for a second.

OK mate, sorry for that delay. So we'll have you plugged in back in the garage. In a moment we'll get some comments.
