10 seconds until the session starts.

That should be a green light.

The lead car, Verstappen, is approaching turn 9 now.

Verstappen out of the final corner.

And Verstappen turn 1. About seven seconds behind him is Perez.

Perez, turn 1.

Perez, turn 3. About eight seconds behind him is Tsunoda. Tsunoda's on an out. So Perez about three behind you.

Perez, turn 4.

Next car to time up then is Gasly, who is halfway between turn 3 and turn 4. Only one car ahead of you to go, that's Leclerc. He's just left turn 8.

Gasly is in turn 5.

And just be wary, tailwind, turn 3, turn 4.

Be careful of Zhou. He'll open immediately behind you, about one and a half.

Lando, we have a choice here. To protect our second run, I suggest we box this lap. It is possible to squeeze it in. I'm just wondering if it's worth it.

Other cars have come in after their first attempt. My preference is box this lap so we can do a good job of the next one.

Yeah, confirm, box. Cool, no cars behind, to worry about.

Box now, stop at front of our garage.

So there are cars down there. Pretty much the same as normal. Plenty of time.

And there will be cars out of turn 1. Perez should be the first one. Perez approaching turn 1 now. He could be slow.

First kind of time lap I think is going to be Ricciardo who's turn 1 now. He's the car behind Sainz.

Ricciardo close behind.

Next car on the time-lap is Hulkenberg, halfway up the hill. I expect Perez in front of you will either box or go for a second call. Hulkenberg, turn 3 now, time-lap.

Hulkenberg coming up quick after him will be Albon turn 3.

Albon turn 4.

Albon turn 6. Careful of Perez. Leave the box or do another call, I think. Albon turn 7.

No one behind you to worry about. I'll get back to you.

Assume it's double cool for now.

Now I'm gonna box.

Lando, we need to do another one, please. We need to do another one. If you want to drive through the pitlane, you can do. Plenty of time for that.

Main opportunities are focusing on throttle pickup. Turn 6 and 7.

Just keep an eye on the delta. We would like to do this lap, please.

Great, thank you. Ricciardo will open a time lap. He is over the start-finish line now. About three seconds behind him is Zhou. About three seconds behind him, Gasly. Gasly should be slow. Ricciardo just leaving turn 1.

Mercado, now the car behind.

Zhou is approaching turn 3 now.

After Zhou is Tsunoda halfway up the hill.

Tsunoda just leaving turn 3.

Box this lap. Stop in front of our garage.

Why a bridge? Why a bridge?

And Lando, as soon as you're up there, done with E, you can pipe and come back.

Okay, Lando, you are plugged in, so we were concerned about track.

All the cars that did laps are pitting, so there'll be no cars on the fast laps until Verstappen, who's in turn 4.

Okay, the lead car, Verstappen, is approaching turn 10. We've currently got nine seconds to Alonso ahead. Everyone relatively equally spaced, so I don't expect much backing up.

Verstappen is halfway up the hill.

Verstappen, turn 3. Next is Tsunoda. Tsunoda's halfway up the hill.

Verstappen, turn 4.

Alonso's 10 ahead. Verstappen close behind. Next is Tsunoda, turn 4. It's going to be clear ahead.

Tsunoda, turn 6.

Okay, I've boxed this lap. Drive to the delta. Drive to the delta.

And Hulkenberg just needing to turn 3 on a slow lap. First car timeout is Sainz, halfway up the hill.

Sainz has turned 4 and we have boxed this lap. Stop in front of our garage.

Three minutes to the break.

Two minutes 20 to go.

Lando, we are particularly keen, if possible, to try turn 6.

Hamilton is approaching turn 1. After him the next car will be Hulkenberg in the final corner.

1.30 to the flag. Hulkenberg turn 1.

Next car will be Russell. Start and finish line.

Russell, turn 1.

Russell, turn 3.

Russell just left 3.

Lando, that new number we've talked about is plus eight on your dash, so plenty of time. Russell turn 4.

Next car, Verstappen, turn 4.

Verstappen in 6th.

Box. If you want to, yeah.

The box now is to be in front of our garage.

And red button, please.
