You can fire up, Fernando. Fire up.

Okay, so 25 seconds till the green light.

OK, so it should be going green in two seconds. It should be green now.

Ricardo is three ahead. It's five ahead. Ricardo is six ahead.

So the cars ahead have all got 5 to 7 second gaps, so there shouldn't be too much punching.

Tyres too cold. Yeah, confirmed. This first lap will be a warm-up lap.

People are still filing out of the pitlane, so this first lap is a warm-up lap.

You can go to warm-up on the wrong switch, warm-up.

B-Bal offset plus one.

B-Bal offset plus one.

I think even the next lap will be a bit tough.

You can go to go one. Ricardo is about to go out of the last corner. He's three ahead of you. You're all clear behind, all clear. Ricardo's four ahead. Five ahead.

Verstappen is only 2.5 behind. After him there is a big gap. Try and keep the temperature in the tyres as best you can. Verstappen is backed off, so you're OK behind.

The first one to push is Leclerc, 14 seconds back.

Ricardo ahead of you. He's got a good gap.

Tyres are better now. Ricciardo's got good gap ahead of him, so he shouldn't mess around. This is a good position. Leclerc pushing seven and a half seconds back.

After Leclerc, there's a five-second gap. Ricciardo's got nine ahead of him, so he should just go, and then you can back up to Leclerc. He's four behind you, but coming quick now. Leclerc's still three behind. Or we go one. Leclerc's still two behind.

You are clear behind at the moment. Bottas is going to push 7 seconds behind you.

Bottas is 5 behind pushing.

Bottas there now and then Leclerc's three behind you. And just don't let Ricciardo through.

Leclerc is 1.5 behind.

So this is our gap. The next one pushing is Ocon, 11 seconds back. And ahead there's Hamilton who's six ahead of you to start a lap. He's waiting a bit there. So Ocon's nine behind. Hamilton ahead is four on a slow lap.

Ocon still six and a half behind.

Ocon 5 behind. Will be go 1. Hamilton is slow there. Ocon 3 behind. Hamilton 3.5 ahead. Hamilton 4 ahead.

What? It's impossible. Lance is pushing, two behind.

And then Ricciardo, just... Yeah, that's it.

Ricardo is slow. Bottas is pushing one and a half. Bottas fast coming now. Now you're clear for a bit. Perez is the next one. I need a gap. Even if we have to stop the car for one minute. Yeah, copy.

Sainz is pushing now 2 behind. Perez backed off, so it's Sainz 1.5.

Yeah, I've got Ocon. So the only one pushing now behind is Ocon 4 behind.

Ocon, one and a half. This is our gap. Anyone else behind? Pass.

So you've got just Hamilton who's slow ahead of you, he's four ahead.

Okay, so you're all fine behind now. We'll be able to get to Ocon. He's 7 ahead of us. Will we go on? Will we go on? Ocon's 8 ahead.

Lance is pushing three behind.

So, Lance is pushing 2.5 behind, Bottas is 5 behind, also pushing.

Bottas now pushing one and a half gallon.

Ok, now you're ok. Now you're all ok. The prep was behind us slow.

So we can do this cool and one more push on this tyre.

So basically this gap on track is our best for another lap. Sainz is pushing 10 behind.

The two Red Bulls are slow laps behind you.

Ahead there's only people pushing. We believe Perez, who's the red bull behind you, is pitting. Perez behind is pitting. If he pushes past you.

So Sainz is pushing still six seconds back.

So we can use some of that gap to Sainz. He's currently three and a half behind, so that'll come quick. Bottas ahead is seven ahead. Bottas is pitted ahead, so you're all clear ahead. All clear ahead. Sainz still two and a half behind. Go on, go on.

OK, so just box this lap, Fernando. Box, box. You're all clear behind. Lance will be pushing. He's 10 behind.

Lance is pushing six behind.

Lance pushing 4 behind.

It's only Lance who's there now. OK, you're all clear behind now.

Clear box, box. Box, box. All clear beyond.

Track is all clear behind, track is all clear behind. Ahead we've got Norris 5 ahead and he's got an 8 second gap ahead to two other outlap cars.

Cabin is still all clear behind.

Nobody pushing behind. Ahead there's three cars to start a lap. And they're reasonably spread out, six second gaps. Currently Norris is only four ahead of you.

OK, so Hulkenberg is going now. Norris is just waiting. But you're all clear behind. Completely clear behind. Norris is going now. So he's six and a half ahead of you. It would be go 1. Go 1. Norris 7 ahead. Norris 8.

No transcript available

OK, so Perez is starting. No, no, he looks slow to me. Perez is still slow.

Everyone behind slow.

Hulkenberg is pushing 5.5, sorry. Hulkenberg is pushing 5.5.

Hulkenberg still three seconds back. And then the next one is Lance, 16 seconds behind you, so that should be OK.

Hulkenberg still two behind. I'll come through now.

So, Lance is still eight seconds back. He's the only one that's going to... He's the only one that's pushing behind. Ahead, Hulkenberg is just finishing a lap. Norris is just waiting to let him. So, Norris is now only six ahead of you. Lance is five behind. Norris is going now. Lance is still four and a half behind. Norris is five. It'll be go one. Go one. Norris seven ahead.

One click rearward, brake balance, click rearward, brake balance.

OK, Fernando, you're all clear behind now. All clear. I think for tyres it's best to try and do a double corner. I'll keep you posted on traffic. And then just consider if you want any aero balance adjust.

No, I'm OK. Copy that, you're currently P2.

So, we could offer right toggle for turn 8 for a bit more rotation if you think that will help. Right toggle.

That's a very generous offer. I thought it might be a bit. Bottas is pushing 10 behind.

Then Ocon is 18 behind you.

So the gap is okay for Nanna now to go next lap, but I think tyres probably prefer a double call.

Bottas is pushing three behind.

I think we do the double cool for Fernando. Bottas coming through now and then Russell behind him is on an outlap. So next time pushing is Ocon 7.

Happy to let the tyres cool a bit more, especially the rear left. Russell pushing 3.5 behind.

So, you're all clear back to Magnussen, 15 seconds back. Just have to go slow now back to Magnussen. Just try and keep Ocon and Bottas behind you.

So Magnussen is still 12 seconds back. Ahead you've got Sainz to start lap 8 ahead of you.

So Magnussen is still nine seconds back.

Magnussen is still six and a half back.

Reset brake balance. One-click rearward. Magnussen still four behind. Drop back to Magnussen. Sainz is two ahead, three ahead. Magnussen's one.

One-click rearward brake balance. One-click rearward. You're good.

Sainz wanted to have three minutes gap in Monaco. Ocon is pushing three behind now. Sainz has backed off ahead of you as well. Ocon is pushing three behind, two behind. He's there now. Next one is Bottas, three behind you.

Bottas still 2.5 behind.

Okay, so Bottas is one and a half behind and then Hulkenberg is four behind, five behind you. Then we should be okay.

Hulkenberg is 3 behind pushing.

Try to keep Norris behind you.

Hulkenberg pushing two behind one. Okay, so you're clear now to Piastri. 15 seconds back, next one pushing.

Yeah, with Sainz it's better to box and try to find another gap on the circuit. Ferrari, they own this part of the circuit now.

Yeah, you can come through, yeah, you can come through.

Yeah, yeah, much better. Get away from the Ferraris. You're happy with that, yeah? So just straight through. Yeah.

Magnussen's just coming past the start-finish straight. I think he's slow.

Slow. OK, so, we're all clear behind. All clear behind. Ahead, you've got Piastri on his first call.

So you're all clear behind.

So, first one pushing is Lance, 16 seconds back.

Front to then. I don't let the front right drop any lower. Right-hand side tyres are definitely cool enough now.

So we've got Lance 13 seconds back and Perez 22 seconds back pushing. Ahead you've got Piastri and Hulkenberg quite close together.

OK, so Lance still 10 seconds back. Just make a gap now. Yeah, so it's just Hulkenberg starting lap ahead. Lance is still 7 behind. Hulkenberg 5. Go on, go on. Hulkenberg 6. Lance still 5 behind.

Magnussen is pushing behind. He's one and a half behind you. That's it. You're OK now.

Go for one more, Fernando, if you want.

Yeah, we'll try. So you can cut turn 10 when you want. Every lap on the slow laps. We'll check. I don't think so. We'll check. OK, so you're clear behind.

Hulkenberg's 5 ahead. He's just finishing a lap.

OK, so Hulkenberg's out. It'll be go 1. Go 1.

One-click rearward brake balance, one-click rearward.

OK, Fernando Alonso, Magnussen is 7 behind starting 11.

Lewis Hulkenberg's box, Tsunoda's already gone, so you've got a 12 second gap ahead and Sainz is 6 behind.

So you can go one click rear on the Reckless, that's good, and it'll be go one.

Box.

OK, so Hulkenberg will go past. He's already gone past. That's our gap. So you can just make a bit of a gap to him. You've got 13 seconds to anyone behind. You've got Leclerc So the first car is still 12 seconds back. You've got a 5 second gap to Hulkenberg ahead.

Thank you for watching.

So that'll be nine, possibly ten laps. So nine time laps, definite, and I'll let you know later in the run. You're all clear behind Hulkenberg 7 ahead, so you can go to go 1. Go 1.

Stop it. No problem.

Yeah, Mercedes in front of me. Missing the corners like everyone in 10.10.

Copy, Bernadette. Russell's boxed. He has boxed.

So, Fernando, your brake balance is good, but there's no point going any further forwards because the rear brakes are cold, so no need to go further forwards.

Three more laps. Three more laps.

That's the chequered flag now. We'll stay on track to do the start on the grid.

Okay, so you're good on run switch form. That's good. And strat 10 when you can. Strat 10.

Have one more good lift, that's good.

So you can go one click rearwards on the brake balance. That will be ready for the turn 1. And we're going to go for left-hand side on the grid. Left-hand side and two burnouts.

So we're OK for two burnouts, left-hand side. OK for two burnouts, left-hand side.

Just checking the grip box position and then let's run switch race. 1 by 0.5. Back to neutral, first gear. And now I'm watching.

Minus 14.

Push to turn 9 if possible.

So we are doing a pitstop, Fernando, so you can go on. Practice pit entry and pitstop.
