Let's try and get a good drive out the last corner.

Brake 3. Brake 3.

Two cars to go.

No traffic behind. Just Verstappen to go.

Recharge off. Good to go.

Okay, watch for Russell starting a time lap behind.

OK, car behind Magnussen. He's just finished a timed lap. So Pierre abandoned his first lap. So he went for a prep. He's pushing now. We're in sync with all the cars around us, which is good. So we're going for another fast-slow-fast after this.

Copy. It was okay. It was less understeer. Okay, copy that. Clear traffic behind.

All cars behind us in sync at the moment.

Any comments on ride, please? Ride is less bouncy in the straight line. There's still a little bit of bouncing at turn 7. Just watch for Bottas, 5 seconds behind time lap.

Three seconds, Bottas.

Okay, the next car coming through is Hulkenberg. These guys did prep laps all. Okay, so Bottas went off at one. Hulkenberg, four seconds.

Hulkenberg, two seconds. Clear behind Hulkenberg, no other traffic.

Okay, so Pierre's lap after a prep was a 31.1, so let's see what a second lap on this tyre brings us. Four cars to go in front.

Tire temp is looking decent. Clear traffic behind two cars to go.

Just Verstappen to go.

Brake 3, recharge off and good to go.

Okay, watch for Hamilton starting a time behind. One second.

Okay, gap behind him to Stroll. Four seconds, he's on a slow lap.

OK, so let's go for a cool and then one more push. We have Ricciardo on a time-lap four seconds back.

Bottas coming through. Another five seconds behind him as well. Bottas, three and a half. Timed lap. Clear behind Bottas currently. P8 with that time.

Bottas coming through now. Clear behind you in the moment.

Okay, we've got Russell coming through, three and a half.

And then Hulkenberg, another five behind. So watch for Hulkenberg now coming through.

Okay, clear behind at the moment. So we're targeting on the dash plus 10, if we can, plus 10.

Clear of traffic. Strolling front on a slow lap.

OK, small tyre to go into Pierre. Exit of turn 13.

And then it's mid-corner 16 as the last one as well. OK, we've got Verstappen coming through on a timed lap. He's five seconds behind. Verstappen, four seconds. There's a 14-second gap behind him which we can drop into. Verstappen, one and a half.

Okay, clear of traffic behind.

Okay, no more traffic coming through, so we can make a good gap here.

Let's go to brake 3.

Two cars to go in front. Stroll and Magnussen.

OK, mate, so this will be the last timed. Let's see what we get. Pierre's last lap, 30.7.

OK, mate, recharge on. I think we should come in there, so we've got time to make changes before the soft. Just watch for Hulkenberg starting a timed now. Two seconds back. There's going to be a few cars coming through this time.

Okay, so if we can't get an aero cruise after turn 12, it'll be aero P4. Sainz three seconds behind.

Sainz, two seconds.

Next car, Ricciardo, two and a half.

Ricciardo 1.5. He has a three second gap behind him to Hamilton also pushing. Hamilton three seconds now.

Hamilton coming through. Six and a half behind him to Russell on a timed.

That's a weird box on now. We're going to do a pitstop. Copy. Have a look at bouncing level across cars. I think we're not bulletproof, but yeah, there's bouncing in the straight now. Copy that. Pierre's just done his last lap. He was a lap behind. He did that prep lap. He's done 30.5, so just one tenth quicker with an extra lap. Okay, so we're boxing now. Practice pitstop. No launch, please.

Gap behind six seconds to Verstappen on a timed. Watch for him please. Five seconds now. Four seconds. Four seconds gap behind him. Watch for Fernando.

Box, box, practice pitstop, no launch.

Three seconds behind. Timed lap. Big gap behind it.

Sergeant 1.5.

Next car, Fernando, 8 seconds. Time lap.

Ok, so Fernando is the only car pushing behind.

In and around this position should keep us fairly clear of traffic. Fernando, five seconds.

Fernando four and a half behind. Brake three and you're good to go.

OK, let's push.

Okay, recharge on. So we're going for a cool then push. We're going to have to focus on recharge as best we can here, mate.

Car behind Perez. Slow lap. No traffic at the moment. P10 with that time.

10th and a half would get us up to P8.

Pierre's first lap was hampered because of lack of deployment, I think. So he's currently P19. We have Ricciardo coming through, three and a half timed lap. Watch for him, please. Ricciardo coming through. He's behind Perez.

Clear behind Ricciardo.

It's possible Ricciardo backed off there, so we're clear of traffic behind at the moment. Big gap to anyone pushing.

OK mate, can we go to scenario 6 and SOC 3? Scenario 6 and SOC 3.

Okay, my only place to go is braking mid-corner turn 16.

Okay, mate, we're looking for plus five on the dash, if we can. Plus five. Next car coming through is Sargeant. He's about 10 seconds behind on a push lap. There's quite a few cars to go in front here.

Let's go brake 3 now, please. Brake 3 now. We've got Sargeant 7 seconds behind. And then we're clear of traffic behind Sargeant. No one else. So there's about 4 cars going in front. Let's not rush here. Sargeant 4 seconds. We can let him through.

Okay, no traffic behind. Cars behind on slow laps. Let's make a gap. Three and a half. Four.

OK Max, go recharge.

Okay, sorry about that. So Carl's behind her on slow laps now. We will have Piastri coming through at some point. We can go for another slow, then one more push. We've got Piastri three seconds now, time lap. Should be clear behind him, I think.

Some cars behind doing double cool, so we're still in phase and we've got a good gap in front as well. Let's go brake 5, please brake 5.

OK, next car is Fernando on a time lap 7 seconds.

Okay, we can introduce a little bit of weaving, Esteban, just to warm the front up. Rears are good. Fernando's seven seconds behind. He might have backed off, actually.

Okay, mate, so three cars to go in front. We're happy to do fast, slow, fast after this. Fast, slow, fast.

Let's go brake 3. Two cars to go, Russell and Ricciardo. Clear for traffic behind. Let's make the gap and then good to go.

Gap four seconds. Recharge off and push.

And Sox 6 as well. We'll have Piastri starting a time-lap now, 7 seconds behind.

Esteban, we need scenario 8, unfortunately.

Okay, sorry mate, but we need that change. Okay, Stroll seven seconds behind now. He's on a slow lap, so we're okay for traffic. Pierre's lap was a 29.5, 29.5.

Yeah, the car was all over the place because of the traffic, I think. Yeah, I agree. Lose on A3 and understeer mid. Yeah, copy that. Yeah, it's very tricky out there. We got a good first lap, so a good read on that. We've got Ricciardo now on a time lap. Six seconds behind. Watch for him, please.

OK, so Ricciardo coming through now. Watch for him. Clear behind Ricciardo.

OK, so we've got a decent gap ahead. 11 seconds. Let's get a good drive out of the lowest corner, recharge off, one more push, let's see what we get.

Radio check. Radio check, sorry about that. Aero P4, please, after 12. Clear of traffic behind.

OK, Pierre's first lap 35.4, second lap 34.7 for reference.

Both Astons currently lapping 34.7. So that's a decent reference for us.

Suggest going up on dip mid to have rear support if needed.

Check the load. The car is super inconsistent.

Copy that, we're looking out.

OK mate, we have no issues so far. We're going to keep looking. Five time laps. Five time laps left.

Last time lap.

Okay, that is the chequered flag.

I'm just going to recharge on and cool the car.

And we are going to the grid to do a start. Copy. Yeah, it got better, but the entry instability on turning was really tricky. Yeah, copy that. We're still forwards on aerobalance like we were the previous run as well, so I think we've just hit that upper limit there. We need to review with data in the office. Okay, we've got a good benchmark. We know what direction we're going in for tomorrow, so we're all good.

Okay, mate, so we're going to the grid to do another start. Let's see what we get with this one. We're going to push to pit entry again, just like we did last time. It'll be a start from the right-hand side this time.

PU4 position 1, please. PU4 position 1.

Okay, that's good. Right, so we're going to the grid. Practice start on the right-hand side. We'd like three burnouts, please. Three burnouts. Your practice start at the beginning of this run, clutch drop was 9% too light. 9%, so we need to drop deep. Okay.

Let's see what we get this time. So, after the start, pushing to pit entry, please, and then a practice pitstop.

On the right-hand side, three burnouts. Right-hand side, three burnouts, please, mate, yeah.

Push all the way? Push all the way.
