Straight out. We've got Alonso just over the finish line. Our turn 1 will be clear. So track is clear. Joe Carbine, nine seconds on a lap. Joe, but he's not really making any progress at the moment. He's now at eight seconds.

We expect Alonso to go next lap. Zhou still at 7 seconds. Verstappen lap 1 was a 15.2. This is good position. We have to fill the gap now to Alonso. We see you in strat 16. That's it. You're in strat 1 now. Zhou at 3 on a lap. Zhou at 2. Behind him is Lewis on his out lap. Once Alonso is gone, you'll be strat 2. Verstappen on a lap. Ocon at turn 8.

OK, so Strat 1.

Overhead on tyres, front grip is low. Yeah, I'm just thinking we go single cool here. We need minus seven on the dash. Do you think you need double cool? Nope. A-firm. Single cool.

Gasly, first car on a lap, seven seconds.

So it's Zhou, now first car on the lap, eight seconds.

Zhou at 4, 3, 2.5, 2 behind Zhou. Main losses are turn 1, entry, and then we got Ocon 8 seconds on a lap.

So, blue 11 position.

Blue 11 position 2. We've got Ocon at 5. It's just Alonso ahead to go. 3. 2 to Ocon. Clear after Ocon. It'll be Strat 2 and we'll try this lap.

First car, Tsunoda, at six seconds.

Okay, Tsunoda's backed off. Now it's Piastri at 6 seconds.

Piastri, I think, is also now backed off.

So this is good position for sector 3. I guess Ocon is bolted, isn't he?

Well, unsure but quite likely. Can you see if there's people in the pitlane?

Wait, there are people at the pitlane.

Clear now at sector 3.

Ocon has been called to box. Strap 2. Next lap.

OK, so strat 1, box, box.

Just keep the speed up. I'm happy to reuse this tyre. Just keep an eye out for these tyres. We'll get back and get them wrapped up quickly.

Quite a minor flat spot, but manageable. Yeah, if we agree it looks OK in the data.

0-0. Box, box.

Stop when he marks and switch off.

Keep an eye on weber's lights.

It will be straight out. We're going to have Alonso. He's just crossed the start-finish line now. Alonso, turn 1. Alonso just ahead on exit. That's Sargeant on a lap. Five seconds.

Four and a half. Four.

Side about 3 on the left.

2 to Sargeant, that is Norris. He's currently 7 behind on our lap.

Norris now at 5 seconds on the lap.

Norris at 3 seconds on his lap and they're behind him 6 seconds to Ricciardo. He'll be strapped to his lap.

So, Strat 1, Box, Box, Piastri, 5 seconds just starting his lap.

Four to Piastri. Now three. Two seconds to Piastri and then five behind him to Perez.

So Piastri behind and then it's 5 to Perez.

Three seconds now to Perez on a lap.

Look at that Perez through. Two seconds.

And then it's Stroll. Seven seconds on a lap.

So Stroll at 4 seconds and then we'll box, box, stop on your marks and switch off.

Keep an eye on waybridge lights.

And it'll be 2 minutes 45 to green light.

Can I just switch off? Yeah, we'll switch off.

Two minutes.

So, we can fire up. We think this rain could be two minutes into the session, so we will go for lap 1. Just need to hit this outlap. Copy, it's spitting in the pitlane. Just keep me posted if you see anything else. You can talk to me on my lap.

Fifteen seconds.

Just keep building that rear surface.

Now we'll be strat 2.

Strat 1. Single cool. I've got Verstappen five and a half seconds behind on a lap.

So, check. Target minus 10. Stepping at 4 on the map.

Verstappen now three seconds on his lap.

2 to Verstappen on a lap next. Clear.

So the next car is Sargeant. That's it, we'll follow that.

So we think that's the right goal for 10 minutes.

Flap 1.0. Flap 1.0 please.

So Piastri just gone fastest at 12.5. Clear of sector 3. I'll be strat 2 next lap.

Strat 1. Box. Box. Clear behind currently. Quiet box.

We're just discussing, mate. Copy.

This is going to be a double-tool.

Yeah, just get your tyres where you need as we go for that double cool. Target minus.

Minus 15 from here. Sergeant at 11 seconds on a lap.

Sargeant at 8. We're going to go for that double court. So we'll bring those casings down. Just keep the temp and surfaces where you need them. Let me know if you'd like to come through the pitlane to do that.

So we're staying out, staying out. Sargeant at three seconds on a lap.

Main area to work on, turn 8 entry.

We're saying eight minutes until the next batch of rain.

Target tip minus 10 from here.

So Verstappen at 8 on a lap. Clear behind us. So after this lap, what does the plan allow us? So Verstappen at 5 seconds on a lap.

Verstappen at 3.5, now 3.

Snapping out two seconds. So we've got that rain coming in six or seven minutes. So we'll just see where we are with this lap.

So, keep working the rear surfaces.

It's a clear set to 3. We will be strapped to 2 next lap.

Holy moly!

Okay, so we've got Lewis 10 seconds behind on a lap.

Just keep on top of the delta. We do come in. I'm happy to stay out. OK.

I just had a big moment at 4.

Has Lewis backed off? Yeah, Lewis has backed off.

So we're going to stay out. Go again.

I think I'll be able to improve tempo too on this set. Yeah, A-firm. Stay out.

It's still time for a fast, slow fast, yeah.

OK, so you've got Lewis still on a lap. Seven seconds.

Reduce to 5 seconds.

3 to Lewis. 2 seconds to Lewis.

Lewis has now backed off as well.

So, other cars are on outlaps. What's Lewis doing now? Is he going again straightaway or is he boxing?

I need B-Bal. So we're going to box and do tyres in the pitlane. Who, me or him? Both.

Are you happy with flat, Christian? Yes.

So we'll keep an eye on lap times and let you know if we need this lap or not.

Hold, hold, hold. Blankets. Hold, hold, hold. Go, go, go. Oil traffic. Go, go, go.

So straight out, I'm going to have Albon.

Almost starting a lap. Start-finish lap. Four seconds behind. He has actually just completed his lap correction.

So we have target plus 10 right now.

Sainz first car on the lap. Six and a half seconds.

Now, if we see you in strat 16, you'll be clear now in sector 3. Just a Sgt. car ahead to go.

I'll be struck 2-3 to go.

Strat 1. Box. Box.

Yeah, A-firm. So just keep Van Alen-Piastri four seconds behind.

All clear behind now.

So we're expecting this rain to get a little bit heavier in about three minutes and then start to reduce in intensity from there.

Box, box, stop on your marks and switch off.

Let's get these tyres wrapped. Yeah, AFAB, we'll get those done.

Thank you for watching.

Nice, straight out.

So, I've got Piastri at turn 1. He's going to be alongside. I'm going to have to clear behind.

No transcript available

B-Bal offset plus one.

So, yeah, Ricciardo will go next lap. We are over the traffic in sector 3. And we'll see you in strat 16.

So, that looks good. Still strat 16. Strat 2.

It's a Strat what? Box. Box.

Oh, crap. Left behind.

Wind has picked up quite a bit now. Quite gusty. Coming. Do a quick turnaround and get cracking. Affirm. Don't forget to wait.

Stop on your marks and switch off.

How big are the tyres, Ingo?

No transcript available

Straight out. Track is clear. We've got Piastri just about to start his lap. Four seconds to Piastri. Three seconds to Piastri. Two and a half. Two to Piastri. Clear behind him.

So once Piastri's passed, it'll be Ricciardo for 13 seconds.

Clear in sector 3.

I see Strat 16. Next lap will be Strat 1. Sorry, Strat 2.

Not good enough, I think.

Boy, George. Woo-hoo-hoo! Vampire, baby! Amazing, amazing, amazing. 0-0-1. Fuck off. What's gone our way for once. Good job, mate. Thank you so much. Proud of everybody for this turnaround. All that work back in the factory. Thank you! Come on! Come on! Right, we've got a race to win now.

So just keep an eye on that delta.

So, I'll be coming into the pitlane and driving down to the end to mark the boards.

Pitlane. Into the pitlane. Into the pitlane. And then straight down to the end.
