So it's just around a minute to the start of the session, so we'll join the queue at the pit exit. Still a minute to go. One reminder is on cool laps and slow laps, when we're letting people by before the final corner, we need to be well offline, right-hand side, OK? So that is from the race director. So when we do slow laps, we're letting people by between the hairpin and the final corner. It's right-hand side, well offline, OK?

So we can keep the car running. You've got 40 seconds to go.

That's just now about five seconds to go, Lance. Remember to build a bit of a gap at this exit where we can. Safety car lines just at turn 2 apex.

So we'll just need to be alive to what we want to do on the first time lap, whether that's a warm-up or a push. So we'll let you know what other people are doing on the way round.

Gap ahead is 8. That's all good. You've got Verstappen leaving the pitlane behind you.

We can use energy into turn 6 as well.

We could use energy again. Front left temp is quite low.

Tyres seem cold enough. Yeah, I agree. We'll discuss it when we come back to you.

OK, so run switch warm-up. We'll do a build lap, Lance. Run switch warm-up, build lap.

Reds warm up.

Run switch out 2. Run switch out 2. We need that now.

So, Sargeant ahead should keep pulling away. We just need to maximise our gap to him. Verstappen is pushing 5 back, so we need to stay ahead of him. He's pushing. So, right-hand side, let Verstappen go. Right-hand side. Right-hand side, Verstappen coming. And then it'll be go 1. Everyone else has outlapped, so we just need to build a gap to Magnussen, OK? Everyone else has outlapped, so keeping elbows out to build a gap to Magnussen. Gap at 5. Gap at 6.

OK, so complete the lap. Then it's run, switch, call, K0. As quick as you can. Run, switch, call, K0. You'll have Magnussen pushing 5 back. So Magnussen in 4.

So we can do a faster call. You've got Magnussen in 2, that's out of his way. I'd like to stay ahead of Sargeant, he's in phase.

Grip feels very low. Copy. Position is pretty good for now, so try to stay ahead of Sargeant. Track position is good and a single cool is good for us.

Let's get P0, Lance, K0 as quick as you can.

So, first car pushing is Albon, 15. We'd like to stay out of him.

So, track position is good. Just make sure the delta is negative.

So, we shouldn't get any queuing. It's because Tsunoda has to go. He's already eight minutes ahead. So, it's just Albon eight back pushing. So, it's just go one when you're ready.

Okay, so run through its delta. Need to keep it negative but close to zero.

Contact right hand side. Car feels OK but right hand side contact. Copy, we're looking. Looks OK to us for now. Sargeant is pushing on the way in as well. He may try and come past us but we're happy to... Yeah, he's in sync. That's OK.

OK, Lance. We're having to push a bit more on the in lap just for timing. So you can start to make the delta more negative.

So, boxing this lap. Weighbridge reminder. Just check out, check the weighbridge.

So just remember to make your gap at pit exits. It should be clear at pit exit. Just make sure you make the gap. So first car will be Sargeant. He is just coming to the final corner. Gap ahead is good.

So, good straight line speed. We're happy to use energy, but now turn 4.

We can use energy into turn 8 as well. Time is all good, Lance, so no issues on timing.

So it's all clear behind. There's still a few cars to go. It's still just two to go ahead of you. So Magnussen and Piastri. It's all clear behind. Just watch out for Ocon. He's in sync with you. Just try and keep your front tyres open. If you want to stay ahead of where we are now, it's still good. So it's just go one. Piastri is four ahead, so a bit more of a gap. Five ahead.

Close the lap.

We need to keep Bottas behind us. He's on an outlap. Try and keep Bottas behind us.

Ocon behind is in signal view.

I'm happy to do a faster call, Lance. I'm happy to do a faster call. You've got Russell pushing in 12.

We are currently P2. We are competitive.

I'm happy to keep this track position where you've only got Russell in 6th.

So we can let Russell go. He's just in turn 10 now.

We can just take it a bit easier in turn 3. Just focus on turn 4. You've got Russell in 2, so stay right inside. Russell in 1.

So, Hamilton in 12. We'd like to stay ahead of him, but there might be some queuing at the final corner. We've still got three cars to go, so remember to stay to the right-hand side. We've got Hamilton in 7. We might have to take him. We've got Hamilton in 4. Hamilton in 3. Don't worry about the Delta. Hamilton in 2. Hamilton in 1. OK, so we can go after Hamilton. This is good.

OK, so we'll have Hamilton fast, I'll let you know. Ocon behind is in sync. OK, so there shouldn't be any track lads. We are safe as well, we are safe. We haven't taken the flag yet. So, run switch delta, keep it negative. Run switch delta, keep it negative.

So we can keep the delta negative and shouldn't have any traffic behind.

Boxing slap, so watch out for the weightbridge.

So it's just around five cars to leave now. First car is currently Russell just on the way to turn 8. Just remember to build your gap before the safety car line.

So tyre target slant should be the same really. Try and get to the same number as you were before.

So, first car is Russell. He's just on the way to turn 13.

OK, so that's Albon ahead. You've got Hamilton opening a lap. So just remember to build a nice big gap to Albon.

Magnussen opening a lap. Sainz is 5 behind him. Keep building a good gap to Albon. Sainz in 5, he'll just be on the way to turn 1 now. Sainz at turn 1. This is OK. Nice hard out lap. Let's try and get it on the first one.

Norris pushing four back. Norris in four.

Norris in 2. We can use energy before turn 8.

Norris pushing two back.

Do a bit of scrubbing at turn 10. Lance is way on out. Car behind is Fernando on out lap. He's got Piastri pushing. So, Piastri 7 back. He's pushing. I'd like to stay ahead of Piastri. He's pushing 7 back.

Shall we take a bit more gap if we have to and let's just go one? Go one.

No transcript available

Okay, so it's run switch delta. Run switch delta, keep it negative. You'll have Magnussen pushing in four.

We'd like to get the car back, so we're happy to push on the way in. You've got Magnussen pushing in 3, Magnussen in 2.

I need a bit more aero balance. Copy that. So next one is Norris pushing 5 back.

So having to push on the way in, you've got Norris in 4th.

Norris in 2. Let's not hold him up or tow him.

Okay, so next stop is Piastri in 14, so we should be clear of him. We'll box this lap.

Just remind to keep an eye out for the weighbridge.

OK, so that's Weybridge, Weybridge. Left hand side.

Okay, so just remember to build your gap up at exit, so it's quite busy behind you.

OK, so that's Norris ahead. Just make sure we build a good gap to him. There shouldn't be any traffic on track. So possibly we're starting up. Just build a better gap, Lance. Still 6, 7. OK, so gap is good. That's 8 ahead. OK, so Russell is pushing in 6. Thanks for watching!

So, Russell in 4 pushing. Let's not hold him up, let's tow him. You can use energy all the way to 8. Temps are on the low side, Lance. So, hard outlap, high speed weaving. Russell in 4. So, Russell's aborted. So, it's just Hamilton 12 back, but we'd like to stay ahead of him. So, temps still low, so I'd have to keep pushing.

So we think second push is still looking good, Lance, just for info, based off the first runs.

A bit of weaving is okay. It's all clear behind. Gap ahead is at 9. So let's just go 1 when you're ready.

Can I say complete the lap? Then it's run, switch, call, K0. Leclerc is pushing in 2. Watch out for Leclerc, pushing 2.

So you've got Leclerc behind 2 back. He's not getting in his way. It's all clear behind him for now.

OK, so switches are good. Just a normal coolant, standard coolant.

Just make sure the delta is negative.

Do I have to keep the delta somewhere close to zero? Yeah. OK, that's all OK.

So there's no issues on timing, Lance. It's all good. And track is still improving.

So, Gasly pushing in 5, so we'd like to try and stay ahead of him if possible. Gasly pushing in 4. We think we can stay ahead. It's all clear ahead, so just go 1.

That's it. That's it.

Copy, we saw that.

P10. So, delta negative there.

Delta is good, so we'll box this lap and keep an eye out for the weightbridge.

3-0. Yeah, we'll have a chat when you get back on the weather. Two seconds.

Let's see, he's got 20 seconds to start the session. It's not a bad position in the queue. 15.

Just remember to build a nice big gap for SC2 and then it'll be a hard out lap. So good straight line speed, using energy as you have been doing and a bit of weaving as well.

Car ahead, Fernando. Just crossing SC2 now. Gap ahead is 4. Gap ahead 5. Gap ahead 6. Gap ahead 7. That's not too bad.

First car is Piastri. He's at turn 10 while they are lap now.

No transcript available

So, using energy now, Lance. Using energy now, Lance. Bit of high-speed weaving. Good spin to 10 below, so he's scrubbing's okay. There's still traffic behind. You've got Snow to 10 behind the outlap. Gap ahead to Fernando at 12, so that's all good. So, 10th's still not decided, so we can do a bit of high-speed weaving as well.

Good to stop before 13 and then it's go 1 when you're ready.

No transcript available

OK, that's a closer lap than this. Run switch delta. Stay negative.

So that's 12.15. Noda pushing in 15. Box this lap.

No transcript available

OK, so we think Piastri will be slow. We can't go past him, probably just out of an arm's length, so it's all clear ahead.

No transcript available

No transcript available

OK, so high speed wheelie is good, Lance. Gap ahead is good. Might be a little bit of outlap traffic but it shouldn't be too bad. So let's just go one when you're ready. We're happy this is a first lap tyre.

Okay, so run switch delta, stay negative. Run switch delta, stay negative. It's all clear behind for now. That was a sick lap. Yeah, probably looked a bit difficult. You can see traffic at the end as well. That's Verstappen.

So it'll be Russell fast in 10. Okay, Russell just in turn 2 now, thank you.

Russell pushing in 7.

Russell 4, Russell 3, Russell 2. Let's not hold him up.

Next on back is Hamilton, 10.

Hamilton, five back. Box this lap. Just a reminder, check the weighbridge.
