Yep, radio check.

Wait.

You are super loud. There's a lot of crackling. Really loud.

And that's 50 seconds, Max.

30 seconds.

And that's coming up to 15 seconds.

Turn 5.

Managed boost for Pmax. They've done a very good job on the tyres.

Small change, Max, to the procedure based on your tyre temperature. So that's a three long burnouts only and that's from the timing line. Three long burnouts and the extra wrap.

Last car approach in the back of the grid.

Car behind. Lando.

So, 0.8 across the line.

OK, DRS now enabled.

Just another reminder about the DRS detection point on the run to 17.

Gap, one second.

Does not have DRS.

Main losses, Max. Turn 9. Entry speeds 17 and 18.

Gap 1.5.

Gap 1.8. Lando 21-0. Leclerc 21-1.

Engine 13, position 5 on the main straight, Max. Engine 13, position 5.

Should be a small improvement for energy. If you feel any problems with it off-throttle, then we can go back to position 3, so keep me posted. Gap 1.9. Lando 20.9.

2.1. Lando Pace 21-0.

OK, initial updates on balance, please, Max. Yeah, all OK. Just anything's gone in here, but offset is OK. Copy that. That's a purple lap. 2.6 behind.

Slow move in, Albon ahead.

Gap 3.1. Lando at 21.2.

I left one so that he starts to get away a little bit. Understood.

OK, let's have diff 6 and mid 6, Max.

Display 5, position 3 for more fronts in high speed, Max.

The gap is 3.3.

Why does this move, er, rhyme again? For high speed.

Display 5, position 3.

Gap 3.9.

So, torque 6 or mid-6, Max, to help your apex.

Yeah, I don't think I saw Sonata and Alireza. Okay, understood.

Just be careful about your slips on that front right tyre. That's our main concern at the moment.

Yeah, understood Max. Actually, I think Lando is complaining more about his rear axle this day than he is about the rear axle.

Strat 6, when you can. Strat 6.

Yes, keep an eye on my left one, guys. Won't be another 20 laps. Understood, Max.

I'll take a front wing uptake please, Max.

Yeah, maybe two clicks more.

Understeer plus two clicks.

5.4

And the first track limit strike at turn 18, Max.

Gap 5.6 and pace 21.6.

Currently only deficits to Lando, turn 2 and turn 6.

And that is 20 laps complete, Max. 20 laps.

Gap 6.2.

Front left is not good. Understood.

I'm still pulling away, right? That's correct, Max.

Still happy with plus two? Yeah.

You had a second track limit warning, Max. That was turn 6 on the previous lap. So that's two warnings.

Have you retained the right line? Have you?

OK Max, so Lando in the pitlane this lap. Lando is in pitlane.

I reference the gap was 6.7.

Ah, my tyre is fucked. The front is fucked.

At the moment Lando is immediately behind Checo.

I've got a terrible rotation for me. OK, understood, Max.

OK, Max, that was a third track limit warning. Turn 17. That's now a black and white flag. No more.

Still think plus two is enough, Max? The car is fucked. The tyre is fucked. Why are you staying out?

The question was on the flap. Do you still think plus two is enough? That's fine. Then box and pit confirm, please. Box and pit confirm.

Strat 12 in pitlane please, Max.

Strat 6. Strat 6. A reminder, no more track limits.

So, Norris, car behind. Gap 5 seconds.

Correction, gap 4.2.

So, Lando pace 20.9.

Only cars yet to pit. Sainz and Hamilton. Hamilton is ahead at turn 2.

Sainz current pace 21.6.

Blue flags for Alex.

So Max, expecting Hamilton to pit at this lap. Look after the front left in 11.

Let's go mode 10, Max. Mode 10.

So Lando pays four laps in 21-0.

OK, so Lando, last lap was a 21.1.

We're obviously looking at a 39 lap stint here, Max, so do look out for the tyres where you can, please. Five, nine, eleven.

The gap to Lando is 6.3, his pace 20.9.

Lando, 20.7. Leclerc, 20.4.

And that was 30.30 laps complete.

Sergeants ahead. Exit the pitlane.

So, next car ahead is Gasly.

So, top three, same pace.

The next car out is Zhou.

Lando 20.6, Leclerc 20.5.

And Leclerc last lap 20.3, Lando 20.7.

Lando, last lap 20.4. Leclerc, 20.2.

There are three blue flags between yourself and Lando and Charles.

How's the balance on this tyre compound, please, Max? Just a little bit. I've got end wheel. OK.

Gap 7. Lando 20.10, Charles 20.5.

Gap 7.4.

Low grip here too. Easy to lose them here. Understood.

The push toggle is available at turn 2, Max. Push toggle turn 2.

OK, so you are coming up to Ocon and Bottas ahead. Ocon first, then Bottas.

So the gap 7.4, Norris 20.7.

And Leclerc is now on Lando's tail.

6.3

Lando found some pace last lap. It's a 20.3.

Gap 6.2, pace behind 20.5.

15 laps remaining, Max. Gap 6 seconds.

Gap 5.6.

Main losses, Lando, turn 2, turn 6, Lando, turn 2, turn 6. Yeah, my tyres don't work great. Oh, just information, that's all. Oh, just information, that's all.

That's it for me. That's it for me.

So, gap 4.9, Lando 20.0.

So I guess the main thing to focus on now, Max, is as the gap is less than five seconds, we really can't afford any track limits. So focus on that, mate.

And engine 13, engine 1-3, position 6 when you can. Position 6.

Gap 4.0, pace 20.1.

I turn 7, the car doesn't turn. Okay, understood. Stand by.

So try the left-hand button at turn 7. Left-hand button.

Gap 3.1. Pace 19.9.

Can you let me drive even more stupid?

OK, so 2.3. I've got a tinker gap.

Five laps remaining. Five laps.

Strat 5.

I was close to the car.

Strat 6.

Strat 5 again, please, Max. Strat 5.

Battery is almost empty.

If we want to top up the battery it would be mode 7, Max.

But you will clip more in mode 7.

The gap is 1.2. Two laps remaining.

Final lap. Gap is 1.1. Does not have DRS.

OK. Well done, Max. Close call. That's how it's done in the end. Nice job.

Fuckin' hell, mate. Hard to work for that. Whoo! Oh, anyway, we did a great race, considering how the weekend started, you know. But, uh, hard to work hard for that.

Well done, mate. That was a very, very, very strong drive. That's two wins for you in a day, I think. So, we were definitely stronger on the medium and perhaps a bit weaker on the hard today. But really, really impressive drive. Really impressive weekend.

Yeah, that's the last we left. We have to go flat out. Plenty of pick-up on the way, please, Max. Pick-up on the way.

Coming into pitlane, Max. Coming into the pitlane.

It was just really strange how their pace came to them in the last third of the race. Before that you had them totally covered on the medium and everything.

Yes, the hard tyre just had no grip for me, so I have to analyse it. The medium is very strong, I guess the hard tyre is just a bit out of the window for us.
