So Alonso did 4/10 of Phase1 laps (205-210mph average), correct?

10 laps on that pace will see him through the first stage of ROP, unless I am very much mistaken.

I'm not sure if they have to be consecutive laps.

No, they don't have to. They can run the whole day, but they only have 5 sets of tires available. I believe they'll now do the remaining 6 laps of phase1 and pick up pace for the phase2 (210-215mph average for 15 laps).

Ah, that makes sense. In that case, it does look like he is well on his way.

Now three laps in Phase2, twelve to go before allowed to go flat out for 15 laps. Again, not have to be back to back laps. I'd expect them to do 13 laps now and then getting fuel and going up for the speed.

11 very consecutive laps in Phase2, in two stinds. Next stind we will see the first flat out laps.

Tells that he's confident with the car. Time to take away some of the downforce and really go now. 8)

F1 can learn from this stream. Equal as many viewers would have watched the first winter test with the new cars this year if there was a stream. Put some commercials in it and boom extra income for FOM

Phase3 started well, just on the top that he's still allowed (215 - 220mph), Nando doing 19.5s.
