OK, straight out.

So, Stroll should be just ahead at turn one. On a push, he should put away.

So, Stroll going through 1 now and then Verstappen 10 seconds back. Nico Bottas leaving the pitlane, that's you.

Verstappen in 4th, otherwise quite behind.

Verstappen in 2. Next car pushing is a 15.15 back. Can use DRS in 2-8.

Go switch to go out.

First car pressure behind you is still at 11, that's Perez.

So the mode is set for this first one.

It's going to be exit turn 9 and ante. Perez still 9 back, 8 back, 6 back.

I'll put it in go and push. Mode is good.

Are we okay here? Yeah, it's a little bit busy ahead but set mode 2. I'll use the anti. Mode 2 and the anti.

The pack is in good shape already.

So Perez will open next lap.

Sainz pushing in 5.

Gap ahead of 3 to Perez is okay. Still got three seconds back to sight. Go push.

OK, close. We've got Rick pushing three seconds back. He's going to open that lap now. It's a decent lap. We've got minus five on a fairly quick cool-up. It's Rick pushing.

Sainz should be in second with the A3 back.

OK, then Bottas is the next car pushing 5 back currently.

Add two where you can. Bottas at two.

Bottas with you now, cars behind in sync. Verstappen is 9 back on a push.

That's a decent first lap.

Verstappen in 5th. I'm approaching.

Verstappen in 2.

OK, track position should be fine. You've got Perez pushing in 6, but that's fine.

Relatively quiet ahead as well.

Let's just go push Perez and pull back.

Cleared for high pressure on the way in. That's P6.

Speedouts clear behind.

There's some debris, turn 10 I think. I went over it on my last lap. Copy, debris, turn 10.

That's bridge, way bridge, way bridge.

I believe level 6.

You've got Sainz through turn 1.

Zhou behind him, three seconds back.

OK, next car back is Bottas, 8 back on a push, and then 13 back to Hulkenberg, so a little bit of space.

Bottas in 3, Hulkenberg in 8. Timewise, final push is on a 50-5-0 cross, so in the middle. Bottas in 2. He's going to the left page. Yeah, OK. He's the first group coming through. So it's Hulkenberg in 4. Go switch to go out.

Ideally, you need to be in front of Gasly's three back, if you can. Otherwise, Magnussen, eight back. What's he doing? They're all pushing, Joe.

Magnussen six back, so it's going to be fast, slow, fast. Magnussen four back.

There's a 7 gap behind turn 9, there's a 3 gap.

OK, I'll just close it out. And it's minus five on the dash. It's a second lap tyre, so it's OK. Sainz five back. Definitely have the first lap tyre.

Alright, I'm currently P14.

Sight is coming through now.

That's the only way we can.

So it's Hulkenberg in 6, Gasly in 12, pushing.

Hulkenberg in 3, Gasly in 9.

Expecting traffic in the last corner so I can drop 10 seconds. Maybe into 10. You've got Gasly in 2. Magnussen in 6. Maybe turn 10 is the best depleted time. Final on the clock, mate. Magnussen in 3. Leclerc in 10. More pushing.

Magnussen midi out and there's the 8 second to the o'clock.

Back spool, five seconds back to Leclerc. And let's go, push.

OK, nice one. Switch to go in. That's P4.

Okay, keep the speed up on the way in.

Yeah, stuck it now.

OK, I'm likely to use this one again.

Box, box.

Still 30 seconds to agree. 40 seconds. OK.

Thanks for watching the weather. This will be level 1 currently. Be live to a stop.

This is outpush, yeah. Yeah, I found one. Tyres have been sitting here. Yeah, tyre temps will be reasonable still. They're showing OK on our side where the U set, so still have some temp. Got two Mercs coming through now.

Cleared level 4 for exit.

Hamilton going into turn 1 now. There's a 10 second gap behind him. So Hamilton going through now. Gap to Logan ahead at 6.

First car pushing back. I'm sitting in 4th. And Sainz in 9th.

I guess I need two.

Heading out, side's in 6.

Is this supposed to be the worst on the road? I mean, it's raining for sure. It's just... Go switch to go out.

It's just a few drops. Yeah, it's not affected outside but it is really. Copy that.

So potentially it will all die out. I'm going to have a window, so we're going to open this lap complete one time. You've got a gap behind 2 seconds to Norris pushing.

OK, five seconds back down bottom. Go switch to go in.

Push on the way in, but we need the anti. Change the pack.

Hamilton in 3, on a push.

Turn in 2. So we're going to live stop onto a new set. Fast lane, fast lane.

I need feedback on flap. I have no idea, this tyre is not quite different. Copy that.

OK, so box this lap and I'll stop.

Box, box. No, he's going to go around.

Box, box, live start. Traquillo is about a tenth, so happy to leave the flap and just be a new sound goat.

Checking. OK.

Keep it running for now.

Okay.

Alright, we've still got time, still got time. Yeah, yeah, let's just... Settle in, three time laps.

Cleared level 6. Clear on track. Just let me know about tyres. Yeah, if I will do.

Use the derailleur or something like that. Tyres not too bad. Same out and up. Clear behind.

No transcript available

Okay, go switch to go out. See in between two McLarens both on outlaps. Piastri nine ahead. He's got a clear run to open the lap, so he should be clear for you as well.

Okay, closing up. You've got Sainz four seconds back on a push. Just about to start. It's minus five on the dash. It's a relatively quick one. So Sainz two back and pushing.

Let's practice an outlap.

Okay, you're in sync with Magnussen. Norris behind Sainz on a prep currently. That's P9 on a 12.9.

Logan's first push, 12-7, that's mainly braking turn 8.

Leclerc pushing in for 5.

Maybe a few cars to open the lap here. In the last corner. Leclerc in 3.

We have about three to four cars in front of you.

So it's just Magnussen and Sainz to go.

Nice right from behind.

Okay, gap to back I set at 4 now. He's going to push.

Okay, nice. Minus one, minus three on the dash. You are through P6 currently.

2-1-0.

It's raining a bit, so I think be careful.

The rain is expected now.

OK, it's clear on track. You've got 15 seconds to Piastri and we'll open next time around. You've got four ahead to Rick. Same outlap as before.

Go switch to go out. Piastri's still eight back.

OK.

Potentially, Rick ahead. We'll prep. P6 ahead. P5 back.

Gasly still five back. Brick four ahead. Go push.

Skywagon switch to go in. That's anti-on. I'll get you posted.

Currently Rick Sever back a push in.

Rex still five back.

Brakes still full though.

OK, RIC in 2. I'm going to box this lap. Russell in 3. Pushing.

OK, George, two-back on my box this lap. Stopping box engine off.

Straight out, track is clear.

Go switch to go out.

OK, Alex, change of plan. We're going to prep the push and speedcars leaving the pitlane. Traffic compliance is all good.

Still being go-pushed but we'll bail by 8. Charger packed. This car's leaving the pitlane now.

Just going to switch to go out, so there's Alonso 5 ahead, Rick 13 ahead, so it should be clear for you to open, no threat behind.

Tyres in a decent window. Gap to Alonso ahead at 7.

Gap at 4 to Alonso.

Still 4, go push.

My tyres weren't ready.

My rears are so stiff. Copy. Let's go switch to go in. Minus one, minus three on the dash.

Okay, that's B10, B10.

Well done, Alex. There's more in it, I know that, but still really well done in very difficult circumstances in Q1 and Q2. There's more to come tomorrow. Yeah, yeah. It's a shame. No better than everyone. We got through that as best as we could.

OK, nice job. I think that's better than we thought we'd perhaps be after P3. So, nice job.

Yep, here we go.

Top three is a good one. It's George Verstappen, Norris, all by 21 milliseconds.
