Now to clear 4. Separation on the front brake. Copy that. Have a look.

Radio check, 9-10. 9-10, loud and clear.

Into 16. Loud and clear, 16. 16, 17. 16, 17, loud and clear. So I've got Zhou behind 9.5.

Radio check at 28.82. 22 and loud and clear. Stroll and Perez ahead, opening a lap. Stroll has slowed down for 27. You've got 8 behind to Zhou. Strat 7 next lap.

A little bit of bounce at 8.

Brakes are fading a little.

And happy to stay strat 7. Next lap.

Vibration under braking. Copy that. So if we come to the second half of this lap, then we can push again next lap. You got Verstappen eight seconds behind on a lap, first corner lap.

Verstappen at 6 on a lap.

Vibration again, braking. Four seconds on a lap to Verstappen.

So, radios poor, but strat 2 next lap. Good to go.

So, Strat 1. Just keep an eye on Ocon, the car behind, just opening a lap for three seconds.

So we're going to need a lot of PU cooling on this lap. Just keep an eye on Sergeant Nyck's car on lap 4 seconds. I think he might be on consecutives.

After Sargent. Two seconds to Ricciardo, then it's four to Tsunoda. Ricciardo looks like he's backed off, so it's Tsunoda. Three seconds behind now. He is on a lap.

Half lap. Six to Norris but he's backed out. So Leclerc is the first lap. He's at nine seconds on a lap. Eight seconds. So currently P3 for that lap time. Leclerc now at five. Should have him on your dash. At three. Two. Then it's Perez. Six seconds on a lap. Five.

And three. And then after that it's Verstappen. He's now 11 seconds behind on a lap. Got no charge in here at all.

Give me both of Verstappen. Affirm. Verstappen now at 4.3. He's coming through. 2. Clear behind. So the lack of charging is... I've got no power.

We're going to have to go in.

Mark for braking.

So I'll just keep an eye on Norris, 11 seconds behind. There you go, next lap.

Norris, six seconds on a lap behind him. Eight and a half to Zhou, also on a lap.

Zhou now at five seconds on a lap four.

You should have him on your dash. Ernst Magnussen, nine seconds.

Got Leclerc. So don't use fast charge. Got Leclerc car behind. He's just finished a lap. Should have backed off.

Oh, clear behind still.

And, George, so we think we're going to need a double cool lap.

Cool lap. For what? Tyres or temp? Er, for temperatures. No, we don't, sorry. Is it for battery or for the PU temps? Er, for PU temps. So, and battery. Battery I don't need, double cool. Okay, so I... U-Temp, no, PU temps.

Yeah, so it's airs temperatures, airs temperatures. Understood, understood. So at that, we're going to run out of time, I think.

Well, let's make a decision at turn 27. OK.

So first car on the lap, Perez at 10 seconds now.

Perez at 7 on a lap.

Perez five seconds behind on a lap and then it'd be.

So it'll be Strat 2 next lap. Good to go once Perez is through.

Strat 1, box, box, getting into cruise modes. Clear behind.

So that's currently P1. We'll go through the data with you when you get back. Don't use fast charge please.

No transcript available

You've got four and a half seconds ahead to Ocon now.

And box, box. Stop when he marks with the cone in front.

So it looks like Albon Carahead has bailed on that lap.

So I think about surfaces and next lap will be strat 2. Good to go.

That last corner wasn't very nice. I had to, just keep an eye on Norris. Can we do the FC? Affirm, we can. So we've got Ocon behind. Should have just completed the lap. Keep an eye on him. Can you start for the lap? OK, sorry. Just start for the lap. Two more minutes on the lap. And Albon? Sir, Albon has just completed a lap.

Arthur Albon. Bottas. Yeah, we've lost GPS, so yeah, we can't follow that. Sorry, don't know. I don't have any GPS. Affirm.

Just have a think about the tyre temps.

I don't have data either, George, at the moment. Just keep an eye on your mirrors. OK, we all need to box end of this lap.

And we don't have any data.

Copy.

Box, box, box, box, A firm.

So we've got Sargeant, keep an eye on him. I don't have any lap times right now either. So Sargeant is on a lap, sorry.

And we'll go Bmig4.

The next car, Esteban, is on a lap at four seconds. And you've got seven behind him to stroll.

Though Stroll has backed off.

If we can push the fronts a little bit more.

And enable magic. So first car up I've got is Joe at 26.

It's Lewis Fox, yep? He's going for another lap.

So happy to use some weaving.

Plenty of space behind. Next lap will be Strat 2. Good to go.

Strat 1. Box at box.

We'll just try and keep the speed up on this in-lap, help us with the long run.

We're not using this cell that long, are we?

Did Tim make the change at 1? Negative.

Box, box, stop on your marks and switch off.

So we'll stop you long. Just keep an eye out for Stu.

If the change Tim needs to make takes too long, happy to go straight into the long run.

Yeah, we can discuss what we make in terms of changes when you get back.

There'll be three burnouts and then a bite point fine and practice start from the end of the pitlane.

Strat mode. We strat 12.

Albon and then Bottas. 11 seconds behind Bottas. So Valtteri Carr behind. Just at turn 1 now, two seconds.

Let me know if you want to stay in position or back off. There's a 10 second gap behind Bound 3.

There's good track behind Valtteri. Clutch was shallow.

So you've got Norris' car behind at eight seconds now, seven.

He's currently doing 34.5s.

So it'll be Strat 12 for this.

Braking. Move me into the corner.

The D-rate in the 4 always feels too early. Coming up to... Coming up to the front.

I'll give that another four laps, George.

Pace of others. So Verstappen's doing 34.5, sorry 34.7.

And D-rates should settle down in the next lap also.

Pace is looking good. Verstappen last lap 34.5.

So that's chequered flag. Just get to formation lap driving.

And we'll have B6, position 1.

The water is low, should we avoid coasting?

No, so we'll still need the coasting. So coasting down from turn 27. Just on the exit here. And then it'll be a right-hand side and three burnouts.

And a 53% like you've got and weight revs on the second light.

And strat 13. The yellow lines are half the width of Bahrain. Can't see them. Copy that. I'll get Ron to have a word.

Clutch was shallow.

So, just five long and good speed in.
