You've got seven seconds ahead now of the night. The circuit's all clear. We'll keep it going. No race start, obviously.

It's all clear. I've got Alonso behind 7 seconds. It's Valtteri ahead 11.

Just confirming, wind looks like a tailwind with 15 kph through the high speed S's.

So, good gap ahead, no pressure behind, so it'll be strat 2 and you're good to go.

Okay, so yeah, Carl's just setting their first laps now. Most of them are on hard, so we've got Alonso and Verstappen. So yeah, looks like Alonso, Verstappen and Perez. Look at Sainz maybe coming through. And then Ricciardo, he's at four seconds. Ricciardo out at two seconds.

And then you've got Tsunoda at 11.

I am recommending beaming 4 for late underrotation. Looks like rear underrotation.

So, first car on the lap will be Leclerc at 10 seconds. So, to Verstappen, medium tyre, it's just half a tenth and it's Leclerc three seconds. Leclerc car behind now. Tsunoda at four seconds.

It looks like Tsunoda behind has backed off, so you've got Tsunoda and then Magnussen.

Just got Tsunoda, Magnussen, Carls behind. Just keep an eye on those. Good gap. The main loss is to Verstappen. Turns 14.15 with that rear under rotation.

Oh, I've got a double yellow. Just exit of turn 16.

So we've got Leclerc, slow car on track. Looks like he's facing the wrong way.

So Leclerc at turn 16 facing wrong way on exit. He's on the inside.

Okay, so you've just got cars coming up behind, so hopefully they've all been informed.

That's beautiful. Lots of power there. OK.

So, we're happy with the tips, so go straight to it again.

Leclerc still at turn 16. It may clear. I haven't got the current picture.

Okay, so yellow-yellow. Leclerc is still there.

OK, red flag, red flag. Just keep on top of that delta.

I just think you're going to have to pass Leclerc. I'm not sure. I haven't got a current picture.

Box, box. We'll have a practice pit stop and switch off.

That was 10 long and good speed there.

10 seconds.

And green light.

So you've got five ahead.

And now 7 ahead and 9 ahead.

So, plenty of space. We're heading towards George. Car behind at two seconds.

So that would be strat 2. You're good to go.

OK, let's double cool.

At the moment, currently P3. We've got Perez at P1. Half a second.

A lot of that is a straight line to Perez. You are purple sector 1. Three tenths, two and a half tenths in the middle and final sectors.

And only loss to Perez is turn 16. Corner.

So, you've got George behind and then you've got Stroll on a slow lap there and Piastri. So just look for Stroll coming through. His car behind and then Piastri behind him.

Burno down to car behind? It's just at turn 16. Is that just mid-corner?

Looks like late entry, mainly.

And pull back at turn 1. You're going to have Norris and Hulkenberg coming through there on slow laps or outlaps. So in sync with everyone.

Last corner. Yep, good last corner. Just turn 1 and then turn 16.

Two tenths at 16. I think it's a tenth and a half there.

First goal will be Verstappen. He's 13 seconds away.

Verstappen may be consecutive, but we'll go for the double call.

And can we have HVP6, position 3.

Tyres aren't really cooling. Yeah, copy. We'll wait for another call.

Verstappen out to four seconds, so he's on a lap. Now two and a half behind. If you want to pass through the pitlane, you can. And then you can have Albon will be the next car. He's at five seconds.

Albon, car behind. We're ready in the pitlane for you if you need a flap adjust.

There's no flap adjuster, we'll just get going.

So, we straight out.

Too much on the entry at turn 1, yeah? Yeah, if I just focus on the exit. Take out Alonso.

So you've got Alonso behind. I think he's just completed a lap. And then Ocon, he'll be starting a lap.

I'll just keep an Alonso car behind and then Ocon coming through. So it'll be Ocon coming through now.

Yeah, Alonso behind on a slow lap and then Stroll behind him also on a slow.

Currently no pressure behind. Just Stroll four seconds on a slow.

Taps look good.

Plenty of space behind. It will be strat 2 and you're good to go.

2 ahead to Alonso. No pressure behind. Now 4 and 5 and 6.

OK, Lewis, I will box-box.

Keep an eye on Ocon, car behind.

Ocon looks like he's on a lap at two and a half seconds.

Ocon one and a half behind. He's on a lap. If we can have strat 7, then overtake Perez down to turn 11. That'll be without DRS.

Here we go, back to strat mode 1.

So we'll stop at the box and switch off.

And that's just five long. Good speed there.

And so we'll be straight out.

So we have traffic with Sargeant and then Tsunoda. Good gap behind Tsunoda. So you've got Ricciardo with you now and then Sargeant.

Ricardo may have just completed a lap. Sargeant coming through and then Tsunoda behind.

We're good to go. Strat mode 7.

What times are people doing? George was 35.7, then 32.8, so 32.8.

Verstappen in the high 32s, 33.0.

And it feels like the wind has picked up a bit.

If he just starts to introduce a little bit of lift and coast.

Man, I'm ready.

Yeah, just keep picking it up a little bit and we'll go strat mode 8.

Yeah, Giorgio's 32.3 last lap.

Lucy, if we could try diff exit 12. Diff exit 12.

Yeah, George has 32.2 last lap.

Gap behind. All clear behind. You've got three seconds ahead.

And we'll go strat mode 7, Lewis.

Lucia Wilbox, end of this lap.

Strat mode 1 and box box.

That was 15 knots. Good speed.

So, was that safe, yeah?

So, we'll go straight out.

Second wheel clear.

So you've got maximum 4 behind on an outlet.

So Max are behind on an outlap, then Lonzon was slow, so no pressure behind.

Looks like the wind may be gusting a little bit more now.

So you've got five ahead to Zhou. Plenty of space behind. So B-Strat 2, good to go.

I get it, so we'll box-box.

And sectors? So you're purple sector 1. It's two tenths in the middle.

Sargeant, car behind for two and a half seconds.

So it's exit turn 8 and then late entry turn 11.

Just one tenth off to P1.

We have Alonso at 1.5 on the lap, so Alonso car and I will box-box.

Stop on the marks and back in the garage.

Just five long. Good speed there.

OK, so straight out, you have Ricciardo with you now.

And then Hulkenberg behind Ricciardo.

A bit of Hulkenberg car behind and there's Sainz at level 7.

We want to improve on the second lap.

George, we've had a little bit of improvement to sector 1.

A general comment is it's struggling to get second lap out of time.

I'll be right outside at 2 burnouts.

And it will be 55.2, that's 55.2. And then strat mode 13.

Clutch was on target. Lewis will attempt cruise mode on the back straight.

That will be cruise mode 2 after turn 8. Cruise mode 2 after turn 8.

Setting cruise mode 2, then cruise mode 3, round turn 9.

There you go. Crease mode 4. You've got Ricciardo. Car behind.

And in cruise mode 5.

I made a mistake. Cruise mode 5. I don't leave any space behind.

So that'll be cruise mode 5 and then we'll drop down to cruise mode 6.

Box box for a practice pitstop and switch off.
