Please change to Strat 5. Verstappen just starting up coming past you and then it's clear for a while. Ahead we've got Piastri and Leclerc on a slow lap. All the cars behind look like they're in phase as well. It's only Verstappen out of phase. Thanks for watching.

The first one pushing is Sainz, 15 seconds back, followed by Norris, 21 seconds back. They're going through all this.

So getting past Leclerc ahead is also good because he's likely to do a second call.

Still all clear behind. Tyre temps are pretty good as they are. And the first car pushing is Sainz, 7 seconds back. And then Norris is 13 behind you. So ahead you're going to have two cars to start a lap. And one more good brake into 12.

Sainz is four behind.

Sainz pushing three behind.

I don't know if you saw Verstappen in 10-4. Yeah, copy, I know, copy.

Piastri starting up 4 behind Piastri. He's slow now, you're OK.

We're all in phase with the cars around.

We do think double cool is the right thing, don't we? Double cool.

I have understeer at turn 4.

It was two tenths, two tenths of an ounce.

The cars behind you are slow.

So, Fernando, we were a bit forward of brake balance for that first lap, more than planned. You were plus two. If you go two clicks rearward, I think that's worth a try.

So, Hulkenberg is pushing. He's eight seconds back.

So far he's the only one.

I'm happy to cool tyres as much as you can. Hulkenberg is pushing 4 behind. And then the next one is Russell, 20 seconds back.

OK, so Russell is 11 seconds back, pushing. Verstappen is 22. Clear at the end of 2. You've got both cars ahead. It's a lap clear.

Russell four and a half behind. I'll have a good break into 12.

Russell's backed off, so you're OK.

2.0 OK behind.

Brake temp looking good.

It will be go on. Go on.

You are clear behind. Bottas, I have lost his GPS, so just keep an eye on Bottas. It should be cool.

Everyone behind's in phase, Fernando. If you'd like another one, we can, or we keep this tyre for later.

So first car pushing is Ricciardo, 10 seconds back.

I'm going to put a tickle call this time, Fernando, just for time. Ricciardo is pushing 3 behind me.

So, the only one now pushing is Norris, six seconds back. Then it's all clear. So Norris now, three behind. Is it?

OK, so I think Norris may have gone off in 12.

Have a good break.

So there is a car off at turn 5 at the moment, but we could start. Go 1. Sure, I can pit. This is a virtual loop. Pit this lap. Box, box.

Stop on the marks for a minute.

Turn the engine off when you stop. Once you're in your position, you can turn the engine off for a bit of headroom.

And you go back to P2 on that final switch. P2. That's one minute, ten seconds to go.

OK, Fernando, you can fire up. There's 30 seconds to go until green light.

That's 10 seconds to green light.

The two Alfa Romeo's have gone out right next to each other. In front of the front one of those, there's only a 5 second gap. Everybody else has got big gaps. So Lance is going to have a 7.5 second gap at the safety car line. Currently Lance is only 2.5 ahead of you, going a little bit slow in turn 1. So just go slow now. Lance only 3 ahead of you. Lance only 4 ahead. 5 ahead, yeah. Lance has got a 10 second gap ahead of him now. Just keep an eye on the Delta. Thanks for watching.

So we still do not need much temperature in these tyres. These tyres will get to temperature.

So Lance has got 10 second gap ahead of him, but the two alphas are close to each other.

Russell now just starting his lap. He's the first one. He's third. He's going to be behind you.

Lance is 7 ahead of you. Tyre temp is looking good. Front right is in good position. A little bit of weaving now, low speed weaving at the end of the outlap. And one more good brake. Have a good brake in 12. There's just two cars ahead to start their lap.

Bottas is going now. Lance has got 8 seconds gap ahead of him. Lance is only 5.5 ahead of you. Brake temps are good. Tyre temps are good. So Lance is going. He's 6.5. Will be go 1. Go 1. Lance is 7.8.

Single yellow, single yellow. It's green now, it's green.

So Norris is pushing 5 behind. K-0, K-0.

I cannot push the next lap. I mean, I will be completely out of sequence. Yeah, let me have a look. I think it's probably better for tyres to do a one and a half cool laps. So L1 is 5 behind. Pushing.

Albon pushing two behind him.

Stay behind me. Stay all the way behind me.

Verstappen is coming out of the pits on his out lap.

Ocon is just finishing a lap, so he should go slow behind you.

I'm happy to try and cool the tyres a bit more.

Everyone behind is slow at the moment. I'm just checking. Ahead you've got three cars pretty well spaced out.

So it's possible a few people behind who are on slow laps might be just boxing. So Sainz is possible pitting. He's currently behind Lance. Sainz confirmed is boxing. Everyone behind is slow.

Sainz is behind you. He is slow, but probably boxing.

Still everyone behind a slope.

So there are three cars close behind. Slow laps.

Sargeant is coming past you to box. Sargeant is going to come past you to box. Have a good break.

OK, one more brake if you can. One more brake and I'll confirm on Sainz is boxed. You're all clear behind. Sainz is boxed ahead of you.

Yeah, sorry, it's Box. You're clear ahead. Where we go on?

I suggest we box this lap. Box, box. Everyone behind is in phase. Yeah, by proxy. Just charge a bit on the way in.

Head on behind this slope.

Copy. Box, box. Yeah, confirm, box.

The Joe will come past you and then it's all clear behind him. The Joe is just coming past the end of the pitlane now.

We're looking at nine time laps, Fernando. Nine time laps to the five. See, all clear behind. Zhou currently five ahead.

So we'll quite quickly get into going forwards on the brake balance. Unless you want to start already a couple of clicks forward you can.

Yeah, fail 3 there now.

OK, so Zhou's 9 ahead. And you're all clear behind. You're good on brake temps now. So Zhou's 10 ahead, and we'll be go on.

OK, so six more laps. Six more time laps. Tsunoda's using DRS behind, but he's low fuel, yeah, he's fine. You're all clear behind him.

Four more laps. Four more laps. And HPP button on. HPP on.

Three more laps, three more.

Okay, we'll get one more full time lap. One more full time lap.

Checkered flag. Checkered flag. Pit turn. Form. Form.

Now call the engine where you can. We can go to tyre green DRS, tyre green DRS.

Reset the brake balance, I can't hear it.

Keep doing the cooling as you are. That's good.

OK, so we'll be on the right-hand side. Right-hand side. And just the one burn-up, please. Just the one burn-up. Just before you get to your box.

Just watch your box position and it'll be run switch race. One by point find. Back to neutral.

Just watch your box position. We run switch race. One by point find. Back to neutral.

Minus seven, minus seven.

Try K0 into turn 2. Try K0, turn 2.

And also into turn 4. K0 into turn 4 and also out of turn 11.

We could do K0 here, actually. K0 here. No, we don't need to do that. I'll do it up.

Okay, so we'll be stopping and doing a pit stop.

It's worth practicing the pit entry, so you can go back to race when you're near the entry.
