So I'll be straight out.

Gap to Alonso. So, Stroll far ahead. Eight seconds. Colapinto opening a lap at six.

Colapinto, five seconds on a lap.

Target plus six, Colapinto at four, and then there's seven behind him.

Alpinto 3.

Then it's eight to Hulkenberg.

So, sights ahead is 10 seconds.

So we've got Hulk on a prep lap at seven seconds.

Gap to Sainz. Sainz at nine seconds.

Behind Hulkenberg, Bortoleto also on a prep lap and also Verstappen on prep lap. Gap ahead, now Colapinto, six, seven seconds. B-Strat 2. Good to go.

Oh, for fuck's sake!

I'm happy to keep pushing next lap.

We've got Hulk at two seconds. He's on a lap. Yeah, Leclerc four ahead. Hulk car behind. Clear behind Hulk. Yeah, so we strap to next lap. Gap ahead now, two.

Gasly at three seconds, opening a lap.

Gasly now, two and a half.

Target minus 15. We've got Piastri for three seconds, Piastri under lap, two and a half seconds, two seconds, so we've got a yellow, so Piastri one behind, red flag, red flag, delta positive, and this was for an incident 10-11

Hadjar has hit the barrier there, so there's some debris down there. Just keep your eyes open for any debris.

Pace. Front slightly infield. Heads up. Yeah, copy that. So currently P5, that's four tenths off of Verstappen. He did a prep push on that medium.

Hadjar stopped in the middle of the circuit. I'm sure you can see him.

Oh bro, that's not a good idea.

Are you trying to get this back?

So it's 75 seconds to the restart. Now we can switch off.

So, it's 40 seconds. We can fire up and hold.

F5.

So George, happy to go for a prep lap here.

Target plus ten. Gap ahead seven seconds.

All clear behind. Gasly has gone. So gap ahead seven seconds.

My flaps are at 82.

That's just how I miss him.

Yes, a Ferb, George.

I'll call an outlap.

OK, so strat 2, good to go. Those cars good. Preps ahead.

Tsunoda at three seconds on a lap.

Tsunoda, three seconds on a lap.

Two seconds. Targeting minus 13. And you've got Verstappen at four seconds. So currently P2. Two tenths. And you've got Verstappen now two seconds behind, and then four behind him. Four seconds. Ocon, I'll just get you that switch.

Two to Ocon and then four behind him.

Let's just have a think on what we do here. Obviously we're going to be in a shitload of traffic. Blue default 0-0. Colapinto at 2.

Sorry, repeat that message. Just think about where we want to be with position as we're going to have a load of traffic this lap.

Well, the other option is we box and get on with the programme. You've got Bearman at two seconds. You've got seven seconds behind him to Alonso. So Alonso on a lap at seven. You've got double yellow down at turn one. That's Piastri in the barrier. So red flag, red flag. Strat 1 box. Box delta positive. Okay, so Piastri has reversed out of the pit, out of the wall. Lost his front. So box, box. Stop on your marks and switch off.

Sixty seconds. Happy to leave it running.

Pitch confirm over DASH, break brake.

Yeah, FM, so it'll be a 12.7 on the dash.

Target plus eight.

10 behind Ocon.

So, gap ahead two.

Three, four, five.

Don't reset. Five seconds.

Norris four, target minus ten.

No, it's now three, now two seconds.

We've got Tsunoda at five seconds on a lap.

Now four seconds on a lap.

Tsunoda at two seconds on a lap, clear after him.

They got Kimi and Verstappen ahead to go next lap.

Cars behind are on slow or outlaps. Gap ahead still 1.5. Verstappen has gone. Still no-one behind. Kimi at 2 seconds. We strap 2. Kimi at 3, 4, 5.

Leclerc at seven seconds, green six, position three.

And Leclerc at 3.02 seconds.

Colapinto at 3. Target minus 13. Colapinto has backed off.

Ex-Colby, Tsunoda, 12 seconds. No, he's backed off.

Norris on a lap at 11 seconds.

Turn 5 mid-speed, the main loss. Currently half a second to Alonso P1. We've got Norris at four seconds on a lap.

No, he's on a slow lap. It is still Hulk. He's at seven seconds. Gap ahead seven. Distract him.

Just no grip from the tyres at the moment. Colapinto N2 just completed.

...for a single pull, I don't think I'm going to improve. I don't want a single pull.

Well, let's try a double course. Albon has backed off.

First gondola up for Verstappen. Seven seconds.

Five seconds to Verstappen. Patience, Phil. Patience is like the most important thing in an MP1. Is that a fair assessment? If so, can you just look into it? Verstappen at 2.

I just want to try one single lap. We don't need to finish it. OK. If we need to crack on. Fine. How long is that? 20 minutes? I'll get minus 10.

No transcript available

We'll get nine laps, but this may actually, this may get red flagged here.

Hadjar has lost something in the tunnel.

So, yellow, yellow, turn 8, 9. Look out for debris there as well.

It's off the racing line. Copy that. Sorry, track now clear.

So we've got rear coming into the window, front still just below the window.

Verstappen down the escape route M5.

Giving lap one was a 15.2.

Are you mirroring any patterns after this? No, mate.

After Ocon? Five seconds.

Can you just let me know, yes or no, if there's better track position? I'm looking, I'm looking, mate.

We'll just build the gap at the end of this lap, George. That's about the best we could do.

So Kimi, last lap was 14.9.

Suggest coming up diff entry.

And one more lap. Turn three management costing you 1.10.

OK, so Strat 1 and Max carpooling.

And we'll be left-hand side at 2.0.

Well, too set. Shallow.

And I will just build the gap to Kimi so we can get our practice stop.

Another five or ten seconds.

OK, so box, box, practice pitstop and switch off.
