Out.

Fernando, you don't need to let anyone out on the people that are queuing, that are not yet in the first lane. Can you turn the engine off just for 30 seconds? Engine off. I'll go to P1.

And you can go back to P2 on the penalty.

OK, plan B confirmed.

Says 40 seconds ago. 40.

So it should be green now.

Ok, so Ricciardo's ahead. I've got about five, six second gaps. Russell's quite close to Ricciardo. Russell is six ahead of you. Seven. Eight. Nine. Ten. Eleven. Russell's pushing past Ricciardo. So now Ricciardo's a car ahead too. I've got 11 seconds, 12 seconds to him. Go to Parc fermé.

So you've got 11 seconds to Ricciardo, he's got three to Russell and Russell's got seven ahead of him. Tight end's looking pretty okay. We have a good speed down here. We'll see where we are at turn 11. Sainz is only two and a half behind you, so we've got to keep him behind. So you've got 11 seconds to Ricciardo, he's got three to Russell and Russell's got seven ahead of him. Tight end's looking pretty okay. We have a good speed down here. We'll see where we are at turn 11.

I might have a good braking dilemma.

So the first one pushing is Sargeant, he's 16 behind and then there's like 8 second gaps.

Between the pushing cars. So you've still got eight seconds to Ricciardo. And then he's quite close to Russell, but Russell's got seven. Joe ahead of Russell, who's already going. So there's only two ahead of you to start. Sargeant's still 13 seconds back.

So, Ricciardo is just waiting now. He's nine ahead of you. Have one more good brake, tyres will be good. He's over. Ricciardo's gone. He's 10 ahead. Go on, go on. Ricciardo 11 ahead.

Brake check. Loud and clear, sorry. We're definitely doing a double cool.

I'm just checking whether we can come through the pits.

Fernando, turn 5, just so you know, the diff opened a little bit more. We think that's just the first run and it should be good after that. Or first lap after that should be okay.

Currently P6 overall.

He can come through the pits, can't he?

OK, through the pit.

Leclerc behind you has come through as well.

Fermé the gap. Yes, you're okay. Lance is going through turn 1 now.

So, we're all OK for now. We just want a good gap to Lance. So, Lance is currently 5 ahead of you. So, you can see there's no one on track. So, you're OK to go slow. Lance has got a big gap ahead. 5 ahead, 6 ahead, 7 ahead.

His Alonso's got 18 second gap ahead of him and he's got only 8 seconds of you and everyone behind has done the same for us.

10-17. 10-17. I was happy with the white bars. Ready to do plus one as well. Plus one brake lines as well. 10-17.

OK, so the first pushing car is Verstappen, 14 seconds behind Carlos. And then he's Valtteri Bottas is further 5 behind him. Valtteri Bottas is further 5 behind him.

Certainly, ladies and gentlemen. Have a nice day.

Okay, so what do I do with Verstappen? He's still 10 seconds back. I think you're going to have to let him through.

Just keep an eye on that Delta.

Verstappen is now 7 behind.

So we'll have a good break.

So you can let Verstappen through, but then we'll stay ahead of Bottas. We'll be go one. Go one? You're good.

HPB button off. You accidentally touched it. HPB button off. Norris is pushing. 6 behind him. Box, box.

Norris pushing four behind.

It's Tony Norris. He's there now. Then you're clear.

Very clear. Whites button off. White button off.

It's still all clear behind that box, Fox.

Just have a think whether you think it's new or used. You're currently P11 overall.

Yeah, Fernando.

Neo, I guess.

So we've got one minute 25 to get to the safety car and two...

It's going to be tight for everyone.

One minute, one minute.

So you can't pass until you get to the exit. 45 seconds.

How many cars? Can't quite see, but two or three.

Thirty seconds.

20 seconds to get to stage 1-2. How many? 20 seconds, 20. Now it's 15.

I'll keep counting down. 10 seconds. 8 seconds. Leclerc starting lap, coming into turn 1. 4 seconds to get a safety goal on 2. 2 seconds. Ok, just watch Leclerc now. Just watch Leclerc coming through behind. The next one is 7 seconds back, Norris. Ok, so we can't be... we've got to be on the delta. That's fine. So Norris is pushing 5 behind.

Gasly has slowed down. If you can get past Gasly, that would be good for Lance. Norris pushing two behind.

Norris coming through one second behind.

So you're clear now until Verstappen and Levensen come back. So we're not letting any more cars past.

So you've still got 55 seconds to start, so we're okay. You're good on your delta. Verstappen's still nine seconds back.

Russell ahead of Garcia. There's going to be some punching, so let me know if they come down also for Lance. I don't want to disturb him.

So it's only Russell to start the lap. Verstappen is still six seconds back. Verstappen is 5. Go 1. Go 1. Verstappen 4. Russell 4. Verstappen 3.5. Russell 6.

OK, everyone behind is in place.

We're through, Fernando. We are through.

No transcript available

Do you want me to overtake someone? No, plenty of time.

The cars ahead have all got seven seconds gap. I'll just tell you the Ferraris now.

Sainz has got five to Leclerc, six to Leclerc. Sainz to you now is four ahead. Gap to Sainz, five. Six. Eight.

First push, you've got Tsunoda 15 seconds back and Lance is 21 seconds back.

B-Bal offset plus one.

Tsunoda is 8 seconds back. Alonso is 15 seconds back. No good gap for Sainz ahead.

Snowed is pushing 5 behind.

Tsunoda still four and a half behind.

Tsunoda 2 behind Vast. Lance is 8 behind him.

So, Lance is 5 behind. Tyres are looking good. And after Lance, Perez is 14 behind you, so we should be OK to Perez. So, Lance is pushing 1.5 on that.

Let's have one more good brake.

Perez is still nine seconds back. Lance should let you pass, so you're OK. Go on, go on.

OK, box is lap. Everyone behind is in place.

Go to delta. Keep it negative.

0.3 more aerobalance. We go.

Would you prefer the scrub set Fernando or you not? Chill.

Yeah, we can try.

And we'll go up 0.3 aerodynamics.

Fernando Alonso, you needn't struggle but...

Maybe go to shape 2. Shape 2 is ready to start. It's made good on time. It's happy to go slow in the first sector on the outlap.

Tsunoda is 10 behind. Tsunoda is actually 9 ahead, 10 ahead, 11 ahead. That's good.

Happy to go on the slower side now. Perez is only two behind on his out lap.

So Smoot is still 12 ahead and he's got 16 to Hulkenberg.

Tsunoda is going now. We're happy to be just on our delta.

One more good brake.

And then it'll be go on. Go on.

So, Norris will be starting in that corner. He's right behind you.

The next one is Albon. Six and a half yards.

So how am I pushing? Five and a half million.

It's just Albon and then everyone else is slow. I'm afraid we are outrunner.

Albon coming through now, one second.

Everyone behind is slow.

Just keep an eye out for delivery.
