Pitlane, I can't overtake, no? It's not in the pit exit. Yeah, the pit exit you cannot. Pitlane you can, but... It's a wrecker.

They are all stopped here.

The sergeant is starting his first lap. He's got a 10 second gap behind him. Sergeants go past you easily. Gasly ahead of you. Verstappen is 8 behind you, fast. He's got a 10 second gap behind him. Gasly is 2.5 ahead of you. Verstappen coming through. After Verstappen you'll be OK. Just let Verstappen through. OK. OK. OK, so Gasly is 6 ahead of you. He's got a 5 second gap. The next fast car behind is Albon, 7 behind. Tyres are on the lower side, so you can keep the speed up a bit. Tyre temp is low. Albon pushing 5 behind.

Albon is still 3.5 behind. Ricciardo is 5 behind him.

OK, Albon coming through now and then the next one is Ricciardo. 5 behind. Gasly's 7 ahead. After Ricciardo there's an 8 second gap behind him.

Tyres are getting there now. Tyres are getting there. Ricciardo is pushing 2.5 behind.

Ricciardo coming through now and then the next one is Tsunoda nine seconds back.

Yeah, nearly wicking this place. Yep, so Tsunoda's 6 behind. Hulkenberg is a further 10 behind him. So just Gasly to go. Tsunoda's 5.5 behind. So Gasly's going now. Tsunoda 3. OK, Gasly's gone. He's not over the head of you. It'll be go one. Go one.

And right toggle on. Right toggle.

OK, cars behind should be in phase. We're boxing this lap. You can go to delta and keep it negative.

Everyone behind is in phase, Fernando.

Fernando, was the warm-up difficult? Just have a think, you can tell me in the garage. And then also, how was degradation through the lap? How were the tyres at the end? Have a think.

Yeah, low grip in general, but none of the two motor problems.

Maybe a little bit too much on the nose. Agreed.

Keep an eye out for the weighbridge, keep an eye out for the weighbridge.

So we're all good on time. We are all good on time. The first cars, it's only the two Williams that are pushing. They're 20 seconds behind you at the moment.

So Albon is starting his lap. He might come through. He's ending his lap. Albon's ending his lap. Where is Leclerc? Leclerc is two ahead. And Sargeant's ending his lap. So, go ahead of Sargeant.

So we're just trying to find out if Sargeant is pitting. I don't know yet.

Okay, so don't let any more cars come through.

And good speed into 9 will be good for tyre temps.

Yep, it's a nice fast down this straight.

OK, so Leclerc is 6 ahead. Sargeant is boxing, so it's just Leclerc. He's currently 5 ahead. And he's got a good gap ahead of him, so he should be all good. Don't let anyone else past. So Leclerc is 5 behind.

Leclerc is 5 ahead. He is going now. Albon's box and Sargeant's box. You're all good. Leclerc 5 ahead. We'll be go 1. Leclerc 6 ahead.

OK, cool. And box, box.

So go to delta, keep it negative. Go to delta, keep it negative.

Went through. Found a good job of through.

Just keep an eye out for the weighbridge.

Tyres are nice and hot for Hammond. It's all good.

So the only one who's a bit out of phase is Albon. He's still 33 seconds back, so he'll be OK. For now, you've got the two cars still making their gaps. Currently Gasly's two ahead of you.

If Albon comes through, there's an 18 second gap behind him to the next one. Gasly's still two ahead. He's left a seven second gap ahead of him so far. Eight for him. Okay, so Albon just coming out of the last corner. 14 seconds back, so he should be okay. Gasly, three and a half, four, five. So Albon is fast, turn one. So he's six and a half seconds back.

Tyres are OK on temp. Albon 4 behind. Use the limiter.

Albon 2 behind.

So the next one is Hamilton 24 seconds back. We'll have a good break for the fronts and then no limiter out of 7.

So Gasly is still 7.5 ahead. So I have a good speed on this straight and then a brake. So Gasly now car ahead. Yeah, I need to gain some distance. Yeah, yeah, you're okay. You've let a car past. You had to let Albon past.

Hamilton still 17 seconds back. Gasly's also let Albon through, so we'll just have a good gap to Gasly.

So Gasly currently four behind, Hamilton still 13 seconds back.

Gasly's 5 ahead. Gasly's going. He's not messing around at all. There will be go 1. Gasly's 6. And he's gone. Will be go 1.

And right to toggle. Right to toggle.

OK, you can go to delta. Box, box. Everyone behind is in phase. We're all OK behind.

We'll go to delta, keep it negative. That's good. You're all clear behind.

Box, box, Fernando. Keep out for the weybridge.

So we're good for time, we're good for positions. Albon is on his lap at the moment. When he comes through he'll be on a slow lap. I expect he's boxing.

Turn in the cars in front. How are they going? Four. Five. Six. That's good. We'll have some good straight line speed, so no limiters this time. Good straight line speed down to six and then a good brake.

I'm going to have a good break.

So the only car pushing is Hulkenberg, 30 seconds back, so we should be OK with him. And everybody's pretty spread out ahead. Ocon's still 8 seconds ahead of you and he's got an 8 second gap to Lance. Hamilton's a car behind you, 7 behind you.

We believe Albon is pitting.

Albon is boxing. Currently Ocon 5 ahead of you. Lance is already gone. Hamilton is still 6 behind you on his outlap. Hulkenberg 20 seconds back. You're all OK behind. Ocon's going now. Ocon 6 ahead of you. Ocon 6.5 ahead of you. He's gone. Go on. Ocon 7. Albon definitely boxed.

We're safe and through. Good job, mate. So, go to delta. Keep it negative.

Charging away.

I see a P7 in that section.

Fernando blocks the box and just keep an eye out for the way he's got. I think he's busy at the moment.

Shall we have a test? Yeah, that's good.

Okay, so the guys have been leaving seven seconds. So they should be okay for bunching. Currently Norris two ahead of you. Norris still only two and a half ahead. Norris only three ahead. Norris four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. Ten. Eleven. Twelve. Thirteen. Fourteen. Fifteen. Sixteen. Seventeen. Eighteen. Nineteen. Twelve. Thirteen.

Tyres are OK. Tyres are warm.

But yeah, still good speed on here and a good brake. You've got nine seconds to Norris ahead. He's only got seven to car ahead of him.

Tyres are good, so we can go a bit slower. This time you don't need to accelerate straightaway.

Perez is still 6 behind you on his out lap.

OK, that's good. So you've got 11 seconds to Norris. He's got six and a half ahead of him. Just keeping on the delta. It's looking OK.

Tyres are good. Brakes are good already.

Delta is good. Norris has already gone. He's 10 ahead of you, so you're clear ahead. And it will be go on.

Okay, so everyone behind is in phase. Everyone behind is slow. You can go to delta, keep it negative and charge on the way in.

Box, box, box, box.

So that used to run Fernando's P8. We'll get ready for new tyres. Just have a think about how it runs.

Some people did have better use than us. They had aborted the McLarens and aborted things. Verstappen had a...

That's OK.

Okay, so currently Piastri's just two ahead. Not even that now, one and a half ahead. Norris is quite slow at the front of the train. Piastri's going to wait a bit, so just go a bit slower. Piastri's still only two ahead. Norris and Piastri are going quite slow after the safety car line 2. Piastri 3, 4, 5, 6. Okay, so there is a chance these McLarens will mess around a bit. They are quite close to each other. Only two seconds between them. But it is easy to get the tyre temp we need.

Piastri currently eight ahead of you. He's got three seconds to Norris.

It's a good speed here and a good brake.

Tyre temps are looking good. Piastri is 7.5 ahead. He's got 3.5 ahead of him.

Piastri is still seven ahead. He's got four and a half ahead of him.

Turn is looking good. I'm on brake.

Let's make a good gap to Piastri. He's currently 7 ahead. Norris is gone.

Piastri still 7 ahead. Piastri still 7 ahead. He's exit last corner now. Piastri 7 ahead. Go 1. Go 1.

OK mate, well done. Just go to delta, keep it negative.

Everyone behind is slow.

P7, mate. Well done. P7.

Good time, guys. Not too bad. Let's see tomorrow. Good position. Thank you. Yeah, well done. Box, box.

P0. Yes, P0, mate. P0, thank you.
