Radio check. Yep, radio is loud and clear, so you've got five ahead.

And circuit will be all clear. Got Hulkenberg at turn 12 at the moment, his first car.

Circuit's all clear. Norris, leave the pits behind you at 5 seconds.

Sir Hulkenberg, first car on a lap, is 15 seconds away. Norris is 4.5 behind. On an out lap, you've got 11 ahead.

So Maxxon 4 ahead. He's on an outlap.

Hulkenberg is behind 2 car on a lap. Confirmed.

And Hulkenberg six seconds. And you've got four ahead and three behind. So strat's good to go.

I'm happy to go for a double call.

I've got Norris behind. He's just completed a lap.

Biggest loss at turn 6-7, I'm sure you're aware.

That's Sargeant. He'll be coming through in three seconds.

So, Sargeant car behind. And now no pressure.

Too much throttle, it isn't 6.

And sectors. It was half a second in turn 6-7. In terms of sectors...

It's 2.5 tenths in sector 1, 7 tenths in the middle and 4 tenths in the final. That is to George.

Next car on the lap, Leclerc, but he's 15 away.

And Leclerc now. Double cool the best way.

Standby. We think so at the moment. Leclerc, three seconds.

We're going to have Valtteri out 10 seconds. Casing temps are still hot, so I think double calls way forward.

Valtteri at seven seconds.

And four seconds to Valtteri, now three.

And the next car would be Zhou at four seconds. So he's just going to be completing the lap.

Joby Hyde just completed the lap, so in sync with cars. Next car will be Hulkenberg, he's 10 seconds away.

It's too late on the brakes. Everywhere.

So, Hulkenberg a car behind and then it'll be Piastri another five seconds and it could be a little bit late on the brakes, some of it at mid speeds. So, Piastri coming through.

Red flag, red flag, so no overtaking. Keep delta positive.

I'll probably leave these tyres on.

Instance at turn 3 with sights off track.

So we'll stop on the marks there back in the garage.

Just 10 long. Good speed ahead.

So we've got 90 seconds until green light.

There's a ton of cars here already.

And at 50 seconds.

And 15 seconds.

And 5.

So you've got turn 7 ahead and circuit will be all grip.

Rear is particularly cold. Front is not too far behind them though.

There will be a little bit of bunching in sector 3.

So, no pressure behind, so just strat 2. You're good to go.

There's four cars ahead.

Now three. Now two cars ahead.

I've gone to double yellow down at turn 1 at the moment. No, that's not going to clear.

OK, so another red flag if you can get in the pitlane.

No, I can't. I've passed it. OK, mate.

OK, so instant is exit turn 1.

No overtaking, just got Alonso.

So we'll stop on the marks back in the garage.

And that was 10 long.

Just after 60 seconds to green light.

20 seconds. 20 seconds.

Turn 5.

It's all clear on circuit. We've got Perez with you, Magnussen car behind. First car is Norris. He's at turn 10 at the moment.

No traffic ahead of Perez and Gasly.

No pressure behind.

You've got one ahead.

So now 2 and 3 and 4.

OK Lewis, so we've got five seconds behind Dr Magnussen.

Even if we just take the next lap as a push, we will be tight on time. To get fast, double call fast on the soft. You can have Magnussen and Stroll coming through. Cars behind. They're on top of each other. So Magnussen 1 behind.

Looks like Stroll has backed off.

Start at max and head it to three seconds.

OK, so we'll box, box and we'll switch to the soft tyre. Be alive, pit stop.

And if you give us a balance check, is that going to the soft tyre?

Yeah, just add weight to this tyre there. Yeah, copy. We're going to go plus two unless you want a bit more.

No, that's good. OK, so stop on the marks, this will be live stop, then we'll go again.

Traffic with Verstappen on exit. He should be ahead.

Just sectors of miles off you're going to have Zhou at four seconds, Zhou at two seconds, then Perez behind him, so Zhou car behind.

And then Perez, he may have slowed down, but just keep an eye on him. So Perez, car behind. Yeah, Perez on a lap. And if we can have HPP6 at position 3. 6, position 3.

And you're going to have a Leclerc at two and a half seconds.

So Leclerc car behind one and a half.

You have Albon at three seconds and then George at two. Albon at one and a half, then George another two seconds.

So the main loss is turn 12 to 14, min speed at all those corners, 12, 13, 14. And then there's a snap at 16 that was worth two tenths.

We've got Piastri at 3 behind.

Piastri at 2.5 behind.

Piastri, one and a half behind.

So a good gap behind Piastri. We've got nine seconds.

Piastri could be long running, so let's build a gap to that. You've got seven seconds behind, so use that. Then it's strat 2 and you're good to go. So you've got 5 ahead, now 6 ahead.

So we've got Gasly behind starting his lap at four seconds, so we have time for a double call and we can go again.

So Gasly out to two and a half. So Gasly car behind.

And it's three seconds behind to Ricciardo, then Norris. So Ricciardo, then Norris.

I don't know the car behind.

So we've got a 2 tenths loss at turn 6-7.

And then three tenths at turn 16.

And Valtteri at four seconds.

Valtteri out one and a half on a lap.

And then next car, Verstappen at seven seconds.

So Verstappen at five seconds, he's on a lap.

Verstappen at two and a half, now one.

Now it's Joe Carbihart, he's on a slow lap. We've got Sargeant and Perez coming through.

So Sargeant at two seconds, Perez another two.

Perez car behind now.

Still a second off. It's currently half a second to Leclerc. Obviously a lot of cars just running a real weird program. So next car Magnussen at six seconds.

So we've got Magnussen. He's car behind now, two and a half. So Magnussen at one second.

And then Leclerc at 4.5. So we've got two minutes on the clock left, so two behind to Leclerc.

Okay, so can't afford this to be too slow.

And then Albon at two seconds.

Where's the time in turn 6? Now that Piastri out in three seconds.

It looks like he's just going too deep into 6 then losing mid-speed to 7 and Piastri 2.5 behind. 1.10 remaining on the clock.

You've got Piastri 1 behind.

So this will be tight on time, obviously.

So we're going to have a stroll at three seconds.

That'll be strat 2 and you'll be good to go.

Okay, Lusso will stay out then and take the flag for the start. Gasly will be first car at five seconds car behind. Zhou Ricciardo on slow laps.

Okay, so it'll be left-hand side and we'll have three burnouts.

B522, Strat mode 5.

Hercules, the box is clear, so you practice pit entry and pit stop.
