Radio check, can you hear me? OK. So, six minutes to go, 5.30 to go. You can do a crash drop. New start procedure was good the last time. So, remember, we started with a strategy, plan A. We looked at the lap number. We know what we want to do. We want to approach the start of the race. Remember, it's a rear-axle management race. Operating the rear is not a problem. Just think of that. Focus on this Lyco. As we discussed, be diligent. Be on top of that. Remember, quite important. Turn 17, 18. Five minutes, I'm going. Have a good one, buddy.

Could you wipe my right mirror, please?

That's good. Thanks. Okay, that's four minutes. Four minutes.

Can I have green 12, position 7, please? Green 12, position 7.

Nice work, you're checking the engine now, no? Copy. OK, that's fine, OK?

OK, that's three minutes. So, the hard starter, you, Zhou and Perez. Soft starter, Alonso from the pitlane and Gasly, P15. Everybody else on medium. So, tyre differences around you. Alonso, soft, one position behind from the pitlane. Zhou, hard, two positions ahead. Gasly, soft, four positions ahead.

Okay, 90 seconds now. It should be your last power lap. One power lap. Tachometer on and confirm.

Confirm. OK, copy.

So, one minute.

30 seconds.

20.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

OK, that was on target. That was on target.

Remember, once you get going, focus on changing gear and changing the tyres.

No transcript available

Look at the tyres.

Are we OK to push up to turn 17?

Okay, press HPP, press HPP.

Check your dash temp. Pre-burnouts. Starting left-hand side. Remember, you're the last car on the grid. When you stop, you're ready to start.

We're good on P attempts.

How many burnouts? Three.

Alonso, free behind, Alonso, free behind.

Early available if you think you have an opportunity. Alonso just behind.

You go race, go race, Alonso, part time.

DRS enabled.

Alonso, point 5 behind. Remember, he's on soft. We race him if we can, but we don't want to damage the tyres.

Bye. Bye. Bye.

Massively underflop.

We're currently 30.0 RACE, 30.0 RACE. All feedback controlled.

OK, Alonso, 0.6, 0.7. You can open the country mid with what you did. High speed as well.

What are you doing on tyres? Alonso 0.6 behind. Alex P14 lapping 22.6.

You've got four laps 59 to go. Alonso, 0.6 behind. You're doing good.

Alonso, point 8, Zou point 6.

Cargo 0.8, 0.6.

I can't demonstrate feedback on tyres and tech switch update, Alonso 0.7, Zhou 0.8.

Runway 0.7, 0.8.

Next lap in 22.45.

Two ahead, lost DRS.

I don't know how we end up so underflopped.

There's Zouppons 8 along Zouppons 6. I think it's traffic. Give us the main corners, we'll let you.

Alonso has pitted.

Standard DRS of Zhou. We need to be 0.5 of him to try something.

Green 10, position 2. Please green 10, position 2. Alonso has pitted for used hard going to the end.

I just have no tyre. You're doing good, you're doing good. Clean laps.

Ok, just manage your tyre. Keep doing what you're doing. It's good. We're in dirt here. We're in dirt here.

Just focus on tyres. It's dirtier for the front axle. We need to watch out the rears as well, so just keep doing your tyre management.

Be in mode 7. Mode 7, light call, V3, please.

10 laps to go.

Okay, Logan, our race is time management. Gap to Zou currently 1.2. We are happy to open that to gap 2 and focus on time management.

Yeah, I'm naturally letting it open a bit. Copy.

Gap 1.3, a bit open more. That helps you. Target 2.

Just increase my go to cut the gap, just increase my go to cut the gap.

08, lapping 23.2, 23.2, gap 2 seconds.

Once it's hard, don't let the people behind.

12 laps. 12 laps.

First gap behind, yes. Tsunoda, gap 8. I'll be back when he's closer to you, so we'll close the gap on Zou.

Slap the heat back now, we have a bit more free air. Plus one.

Copy. Souda behind 7 seconds. Tyre tech switch update, please.

Nice. Try to close the gap to Zou. Close the gap to Zou progressively.

I can't make it.

I'll try.

This is all I have at the moment. Okay, just do your best. Just do your best. That's all there is to it.

OK, we've got 46 to go. We've done 17 laps, 0 ahead of being 23.0, so we're about 4 behind.

Okay, 0.3 behind. We've done 18 laps, we're still on plan A.

I don't know how I'm going to make it.

I'll try to increase lateral management on 2 and slip management on 7.

So, 1.6.

Tsunoda, point nine. You will have DRS.

So that won't be mine.

0.6

So, at that point, 6, use late overtaking, late overtaking. Be ready to defend.

Let's focus on Lyko at turn 17 to make sure we have a good 18 and we do late overtake again in turn 2.

Yuki Tsunoda, P6. Should be similar to the lap before. Get ready to defend. Late overtake. SEPTICA window is open.

You're doing good. Keep focusing on the light coat on 17 and late overtaking to turn 2.

Okay, doing really good out there. Tsunoda 0.7 late overtaking to turn 2. Suggestion, no quick flick on 7 for stability.

Turn up on 7. Continue watching Lycote and 17.

Tsunoda, point 7. So remember, if you think Tsunoda is too close, you have late overtake and use it. Check Tsunoda and use it if you need.

Check my floor, left-hand side.

Okay, so that P3 is closed. I'll be ready to use early overtaking. It's too close. And Laiko into 17. Turned up on 5.

Turn it up on 5. You'll have to defend this one. Overtake.

I really have nothing left here.

You did really good with Tsunoda. Ricciardo point 5. You can do the same. Remember, you have early. They are too close. Ricciardo point 6, Lycott on 17.

Cargo point six. Cargo point six. We have to defend. We should have two. Be ready with late overtake.

You're doing good, doing good. More slip management on 7.

Ricciardo, 0.5. Lakotan, 70. Early overtake available, 0.6.

RECARDO PONT 6. Late overtake, please.

I'll sneak out of P5.6. Like button 17.

Breakout 0.6, 0.6. Be ready with late overtake if required.

Okay, LACOE 217, RECARDO 0.5, so be ready for early overtake if required.

Ok, I can look for 5's and closes in the pitlane. Be ready to defend and late to attack.

Doing really good. Keep like that. Doing really good.

Okay, let's kick out of P5, La Cote and 17, Berrini with early overtake, P6.

RECARDO.6, you can go up the entry mid for oversteer entry sector 1.

Mode 5, mode 5.

Rotate, switch position 3.

Watch out, white line. Give me time.

Large stop. Reset your tool. Second gear, second gear, foot on brakes.

Firetec switch to D1. Racing Gasly on pit exit. Use overtake on pit exit. Racing Gasly on pit exit. Manage rear if you can, when you're racing Gasly.

Okay, you have the leader behind Verstappen, 3 and 2. That's the leader, race leader, Gasly ahead.

Verstappen, blue flag for Verstappen, one behind.

Next group like Norris. Six behind. Norris lapping 20.9.

Start light corner of F3, straight away, light corner of F3, straight away.

31.30 laps to go. Our race at the moment is to make sure you protect the rear and I will be racing Gasly's on the Simulacro Susannas.

Go to P6.

That's a bit too low. 21. Bit too low. 21.

OK, Zhou just has pitted. He's matching his strategy. He's ahead of Gasly. You're racing Gasly and Zhou Coupé on the same strategy. Norris 5 behind.

Look at 28.2, go. So, Zhou, Gasly, Sebastian and you, and the odd, Carls, Bottas, Ocon, we may catch to the end of the race.

OK, 27 to go. Green 10, position 1. Green 10, position 1. Norris next. Blue flag 2.5 behind. Best places for blue flag turn 2, 17 and 7.

Norris 1.7 behind and shortly after you'll have Leclerc and Piastri.

26 to go, remember for the blue flag. Stay on the racing line, stay on the racing line for the blue flag.

Blue flag for Norris. Blue flag for Norris. He's 1.2 behind.

Turn 17, a good place, turn 17.

B7, B7, Magnussen emerging.

Incentives pitted. Pitted hard. It's our turn 2.

Reduce Lyco doing this blue flag sequence. You have Leclerc 1.4 behind Lyco 0.5.

Blue flag for Leclerc, just with you. And then Piastri is 2.2 behind.

OK, some suggestions from us. Low beaming using beaming 5 would be preferred.

And try to use a wider line, 10.7. Wider line, 10.7. Piastri next blue flag, 1.4. 24 laps to go.

Blue flag for Piastri, one behind.

OK, Logan, 23.2 seconds. Thanks, Brookline. Sainz, 4.2 seconds. Keep low, Lyko. Target 0.2 on this lap.

OK, we've got 22 to go. Like all of L3, from this lap, please. Like all of L3, from this lap, please.

He's going to be doing good. 21 to go. Next group flag, Sainz 2.6, then Russell is 11 behind.

That's 20 to go. Sainz 1.8 behind. I have a first place for blue flag. 10.17 on the flag is good.

6-1-1.

Blue flag for Sainz in turn 2 is good. Keep pressing right.

Make sure you target level 3 Lyco, please Lyco level 3.

Safety car window is open.

I'm trying to target pace. It's not so easy. I know, I know. You're doing good. 18.2, go feedback on flap, please.

Left tyre deck switch update, third tyre deck switch update.

What kind of pace do you need?

OK, we've got 16 to go. If you need more stability, turn 18. Diff exit 14 is there. If you can achieve low 21, 21.3 will be the lap time target.

I have never had enough grip for that.

Let's get the tyres back with all this blue flag. 08.21.7.

Focus on Lyco. Turn 17. Target level 3.5 around the lap.

Blue flag for Russell. 1.2 behind. 10.17 is a good position. Just behind Russell is Alonso. 1.5 behind. So watch out for Alonso. He's racing him. Racing Alonso.

Alonso is on 9 lap pressure medium. 9 lap pressure medium. If you do what you did first, you can keep him at B.

Why is my deck so hard, man?

Just currently focus on Lyco at turn 17 and slip exit turn 7. Alonso, point 6.

Alonso, point 6, light overtake is available if you need. 2 left to go.

Alonso, P1, P1. Focus LACO 17. Ready to use overtake.

And set to Alonso point 4.

There's a blue flag for Abingdon, one behind.

Killigan, he tends to start to get his rear out of control and he's back here again.

Disappointment. There will be no more blue flags at the end of the race, no more blue flags.

Just some feedback. We have to try to be careful of our rear right tyre managing slip on left hand under exit.

That was a good lap, that was a good lap.

I'm going to get some feedback. The cars ahead are led by Bottas, 45 laps old, at his struggling P14.

These laps are good laps. If we maintain this pace, we'll catch them. We can have an even cool end of race. 8 to go. Safety car window is open.

I don't know where the pace came from, but I'll take it. Copy. You're doing really good. You've catched them.

Missing all the cars ahead. That's for P47 to go.

OK, can I have green 12, position 13, please? Green 12, position 13.

Mode 13, mode 13.

Bracing on the cars ahead. I'll try to leave the radio clear.

Safety car window is closed. I think Alonso will pit soon.

Remember, you have early overtake when you need it.

Alonso is pitting.

That's good luck for Russell in turn 17. Then Perez is 8 behind. We should be clear. You'll have two laps to go.

Bottas struggling. Use early overtake. Exit last corner. Prepare the exit and go for him.

Make sure you have the right black hole. Exit turn 18 and use early overtake.

Okay, that's opening final lap, opening final lap.

0-5, 0-5.

That's early overtake. Exit 15.

Push and hold overtake exit last corner. Push and hold exit last corner to take the flag.

Okay, let's check and flag. Check and flag. You're doing your best lap of the last lap. P17. Blue 1, position 12, please. Blue 1, position 12. Mode 14, pick up rubber. Stay, go race. Blue position 13 or 14?

Blue 1, position 12. Mode 14.

Mistake, go race. And pick up rubber, please.

I still need goal race, goal race, and blue one position 12.

Copy, sorry. It's okay.

You could pick up rubber, please. So, P17, not an easy race with all the blue flags and in dirty air most of the race came alive, definitely. It was the end. The pace was really good at the end. Yeah, that was tough with all the blues and not first in. The dirty air is so detrimental. We can do a bit further on the way back. Yeah.

Yeah, you fought well, Logan. There's a bit more in it. You can see the few cars in front of you, but still very well done and lots of learning to take forward.

How did Alex get on?

He had to retire.

After 51 laps, I'll give you more details when you're back.

Everybody on the Parc fermé.

So, when you jump off the car, steering wheel back on, switch off fully the car and go away yourself. First lane, please.
