OK, Pierre, we've just got Esteban to cross the finish line, now we've got Russell coming through. And Russell just completed a time lap. We've got Hulkenberg behind next car back.

Okay, now we've got a five second gap to Magnussen on a time lap.

So we've got four seconds to Magnussen.

Two seconds to Magnussen behind.

And if we can get recharge on and we'll watch out for Magnussen.

Alright Pierre, next car pushing is Bottas. You've got an 8 second gap to him.

And we still need to learn second gear, Pierre, second gear.

And we've still got four seconds to Bottas.

Two seconds to Bottas.

All right, so keep coming around, let's focus on the tyres.

We're targeting plus seven on the dash, plus seven.

Behind on a push lap. He's three seconds back. He's three seconds back.

And we've got two seconds to Hulkenberg. We can go recharge off for a couple seconds.

Still watching out for Hulkenberg behind and then behind him is Hamilton four seconds back.

And two seconds to Hamilton. There's a big gap behind Hamilton.

Okay, so we'll reset our shape. We'll recharge off. Let's go for our first push.

I couldn't see the corner with Hamilton.

Okay, let's go recharge on and we'll go again.

So, next car back on the push lap is Verstappen. He's 10 seconds back.

And we can go recharge off for a short while.

Off for a couple of seconds.

And we've still got five seconds to Verstappen.

And we can use DRS.

Verstappen looks like he might be high in fuel. Sorry for the short notice, we've got a gap behind us. We're going to have to hold the gap behind us. Bottas has broken through now. He's taking a fast push through now. It's 4 seconds. We've got to put a gap. We're going to have to put a gap for our time lap.

Let's try and hold this position. Let's try and hold this position. Let's go.

Okay, Pierre, we'll go recharge on. Recharge on. We'll do a cool lap. So that lap's currently P18. Esteban is in P15 with an 18.9.

So some time to gain in turn 1. I almost spun there. Yeah, almost spun. I don't know. I have no rear grip. Copy that. We're watching Tsunoda behind on a time lap. He's four seconds back. Do you want an aero balance adjust?

I'll just try with the normal last sector to cut the lap because the tyres were too cold. Copy that. We've got two seconds to Tsunoda.

Should I do one or two cool-downs? What do you suggest?

And single cool was okay for the other car, so we're happy to try and push again. It just needs to go because he opens every time like so much.

Yep, he's going. Hulkenberg behind is three seconds.

And we'll go recharge on, recharge on.

So Esteban's last lap was an 18.5.

And how's the balance on that lap?

Yeah, I'm circling a lot with the rear grip into turn 1.

So Perez is coming through. He's four seconds back. He's running sustainable, but there's a big gap behind him.

So we've got the back left modifier available for turn 1 to stabilise.

We are losing all this time.

And if we can go scenario 7. Scenario 7.

Now we'll go sock 4. Sock 4.

And are you happy with the front wing?

Yeah, I just need more grip, like it's not a... OK, copy that.

So Pierre, we're happy to go double cool for this next one. Double cool. So we're watching Alonso behind. He's five seconds back on a time lap.

And three seconds to Alonso.

Well, we're losing all the time. Yep, we'll get back to you. We've got Zhou, he's four seconds back on a time lap. Let's go for a second cool-down lap.

Yep, so Joe behind just finished a time lap. So we are losing lap time down the straights as expected. Verstappen is running sustainable. He's five seconds back.

Still lacking mid-corner turn 1. Suggest trying a higher gear.

And Verstappen is two seconds back. We can go recharge off for a couple seconds.

So now we have a 16 second gap to Tsunoda, who's the next car on the time lap.

And we can go SOC 3, SOC 3.

And we can try some weaving, try to warm the fronts so we can do some weaving, get a good drive out of the final corner.

And there's a little bit of time to gain turn 4 compared to Esteban.

Okay Pierre, let's go recharge on. We can do an aero cruise out of turn 2, aero P4, 5th gear out of 2. Yeah, I've got to check the car. I almost spun in the high speed. Absolutely no rear grip. Copy that. We'll come in, have a good look at the car and discuss what we do for the next run.

So currently no threats behind. So we'll just box this lap.

That was a pretty scary snap in turn 9.

OK, Piers will box this lap.

Okay Pierre, so we've got a couple guys just starting their time lap, so Magnussen will be the first car through.

And then we've got Russell behind two seconds back on a time-lapse.

Oh, Russell's backed off.

So the next car back will be Hulkenberg on a time lap. He is seven seconds back.

So let's go recharge on and we'll focus on the tyres and we will be doing a prep lap.

So we've got five seconds to Hulkenberg.

Three seconds to Hulkenberg.

So just keep doing what you're doing, Pierre. Things are looking good so far.

So we can go recharge off from now until turn 6.

We've still got a good gap until the car is pushing behind Verstappen. Correction, Sainz will be the first car and he's 22 seconds back.

And the tyres are looking good for us.

So, rewind it to reset your shape and then we'll go recharge off and we'll go for our first push.

Okay, we'll go recharge on, recharge on.

So the first car back pushing will be Tsunoda and he's eight seconds back.

Tsunoda has backed off, so you're in sync with the cars behind. Verstappen is...

Just finished the time-lapse, so no threats behind.

And we're going to do single cool and then we'll go again.

And if we can get scenario 8. Scenario 8.

And there's a little bit of time to gain mid-corner turn 9 compared to Esteban.

We've got Stroll and Alonso. The car has just gone through. They're on used soft but they are doing low fuel performance runs.

We could get scenario 8, scenario 8 and sock 6.

Okay, we'll go recharge on, recharge on. We'll do a single cool.

So we've got Leclerc behind just opening a time lap two seconds back.

And the correction, Perez coming through.

Leclerc has backed off.

The next car back is now Sainz. Sainz is four seconds back.

And one second for Sainz.

And now we have a 10 second gap to Hamilton.

So we've still got six seconds to Hamilton.

So we're doing a single cool.

And Hamilton is two seconds back.

What are all these flags? White flags?

Those aren't for us, mate.

Okay, Pierre, we'll go recharge on, that is the chequered flag. We can do an aero cruise out of turn 2, aero P4, 5th gear out of 2, and then we'll go to the grid.

So we need to go to scenario 1, scenario 1.

Okay, Pierre, once we get round towards the end of the lap, we'd like to do a rolling bite point learn before we start the burnouts. So we're going to do one burnout after turn 12. So suggesting a rolling bite point learn before 12, and then we can do a burnout after 12, and then we'll do two burnouts after turn 14.

That didn't work.

Maybe that we were too fast for that, Pierre. There you go.

Left or right? We're on the right-hand side today, so let's get some burnouts and then we'll do a start on the right-hand side of the grid.

And let's keep pushing to turn 11.

And we're happy to back off Pierre, no need to push unless you want to.

OK, Perez will be boxing this lap. We'll box this lap for a practice pitstop.
