Engineer, red bull car 2. Driver, red bull car 2. Engineer, red bull car 2.

Strat 7.

Man, that spill is really bad.

Display 3, position 2, minus 2. Display 3, position 2, minus 2. Bottas pushing 5.5 seconds.

Bottas at 3.5.

Bottas, coming through.

Next car pushing, Zhou, at 8 seconds.

Display, Zhou coming through. Display 3, position 4, plus 2. Display 3, position 4, plus 2.

OK, so Sainz and Max on charge laps in front.

So they might be going for this next lap. No threats behind.

OK, so recharge off when you're ready. The upshift is really fast. Yeah, copy.

OK, recharge on. Fernando opening a lap behind. Three seconds.

Fernando Alonso, coming to you. Yeah, what's going on with the shift, guys? It's really bad for the course.

Yeah, we're working on it.

Anything to learn from another lap here? Hamilton at three seconds. Two. One. Stroll at three seconds. Two. One.

So, Checo, anything to learn from another lap? I picked up from front bank. I don't think there's much to learn. But, yeah, we can give it a go. I think we're not tight on time, right? Yeah, we're OK. So, max pushing at three seconds. Two.

We'll come through the pitlane and do a practice start.

So you can go to mode 12, mode 12. Got Gasly pushing at three and a half seconds. Two. One.

So we'll come through the pitlane for a practice start.

And strat 13. Strat 13.

Recharge off. Through the pitlane for a practice start. Two burnouts.

Two burnouts at the start of pit-half.

Track is clear. Yeah, it's really bad 30-40 still.

Even at the start it just breaks the traction.

Yeah, come here, I'll check on you.

Checo, I'm not convinced there's anything to learn from another lap here. Happy to box at the end of this lap.

Recharge on. Recharge off.

So, Sargeant pushing six seconds back.

Sergio Checo, from my side, I don't think there's much to learn on this tyre set. I'm going for another lap.

Sergeant, two and a half. Two.

OK, Checo, so that's box, be a practice pit stop and switch off.

Any feedback on shifts when you can.

It's all clear in front, no threats behind.

Handbrake for turn 1. Recharge off when you're ready.

Recharge on and double slow. Cancel handbrake.

No threats behind, so balance feedback when you can.

Yep, the rig was stepping a little bit out at the apexes. Into the low speed mainly. That was the main thing, the rig stepping out. Which made me be a bit more progressive. A little bit more progressive on throttle out of one. Mainly all the low speed. Ok, so you think we're a little bit aggressive entering braking?

EA into 8 and 10, certainly, yeah. I think we are on the aggressive side.

And what about for turn 1, turn 4?

Yeah, the downshifts are horrible as well. It feels like the engine braking is also picking up into the low speed.

As I'm taking a higher gear.

OK, understood. Do you want to flap adjust?

Display 13, position 3, plus one. Display 13, position 3, plus one.

That is to help downshifts. Copy. No, I don't want a front wing. I just... Copy.

So, double slow. Stay out.

It's the Woody's recommendation going up on torque after turn 4 to help turn 8, turn 10. Fernando might be opening a lap behind. He's at 5 seconds. Yeah, he's coming. So, 3 seconds. 2, 1.

You're in phase with Albon. He's also on a charge lap. No immediate threats behind.

OK, in terms of pace, Max is in a 30-1-0, a tenth in sector 1, a tenth in sector 2, you're slightly faster in sector 3.

Repeat the sector, please.

You're a tenth off in sector 1 and a tenth off in sector 2. A couple of hundredths faster in sector 3. Norris pushing at three seconds. Two. One.

Engine 10, position 5, plus 2 when you can. Engine 10, position 5, plus 2.

So next car pushing is Piastri, four seconds back.

Piastri coming through.

Losses to Max are mid-corner and exit 6 through 7 and then mid-corner speed turn 11.

They've done a nice job on the tyres here. The pit is sensible.

No threats behind.

Russell on an outlap at three seconds but you're going for the lap.

Recharge off when you're ready.

Reminder, up on engine braking after turn 4.

Recharge on.

OK, no thirds behind.

OK, so no fats behind.

Checo, I'm not sure we'll get a third lap out of this, but I'd like a run to turn 1 without DRS. So we'll do that next time round. Run to turn 1 without DRS.

These guys are all on charge laps or out laps.

Who's fastest? Alonso fastest with 30.9, Max 31.0, Norris 31.1, Russell 31.1, Piastri 31.2. Currently P6, just under 3 tenths off Fernando.

Any feedback on that engine braking? Yeah, it was better, I think. Copy. Let's go display 12, display 12. Have a nice gap to the guys in front and push from 14 to turn 1.

So VTOL drop, we'll do it. Just gap to back.

Okay, Daniel pushing five seconds back. Recharge on. Recharge on.

Daniela, two seconds, one, coming through.

Tsunoda coming through, pushing. Yeah, that was quite late.

No thirts behind that one. No thirts behind.

OK, check a civil box at the end of this lap.

Yes, I was ready for the great start at the end of the session.

Box, practice pitstop, switch off.

OK, Checo, we'll just wait.

There's the tailjacket flag.

I crowned for the grip stall.

You are not letting up.

Copy. I'll speak up.

If you go display 9, display 9, target for the rear tyres is plus 10, plus 10.

There will be three burnouts and a start on the right-hand side. We'll push on the end lap. We've updated some downshift settings. I just want to get a good read on those.

Rebound out, right-hand side.

Push on the way in. Get a read on these downshifts.

V-Charge on. V-Charge on. Keep up the pace.

OK, so box.

Practice pitstop and switch off.
