Radio check. Yes, radio check loud and clear. We'll have one burnout now after nine.

I have one burnout after 12.

No transcript available

On burnout, exit 17.

Okay, so I'm at three burnouts from where the pit wall starts, just after.

Okay, yellow modify reminder for turn 2.

Speedbrake charge off and we're good to go. Static 5.9.

Some contact in turn 7. Yeah, copied. We're having a look at that now. Cars behind Stroll and Albon, both on mediums.

There's Stroll behind just within DRS range.

Strollhouse DRS, we are quicker than him still. Let's keep it up.

OK, six laps completed.

I don't think this level of pitting is sustainable. Understood. We want to start introducing lift and coast turn 9 to help rear right surface temps. Lift and coast turn 9.

Okay mate, we're sticking with plan A. Sticking with plan A. Eight laps completed.

Ok mate, tyre temps have stabilised now.

Carb height Magnussen, 1.8, medium.

It's really overheating, so not next.

Did you copy? Yes, mate. Understood. Copied, yep.

Do you see any damage? No. No, we're okay, so just look after rear slips, please. 9 and a little 5 as well if you need it.

Okay, gap behind stable 2.1.

Small lift and coast into 17, please, on each lap.

Okay, so lift and coast is just for rear surface temperatures. We'll end up faster as a result. Let's stick with it.

Phase update when you can.

The rear is not recovering, so we're getting a bit... Okay, understood. So five cars have stopped so far onto the hard. We think they're likely to have to stop again.

OK, let's try and increase that lift and coast slightly. It will help the rears.

You're a bit better that lap. Yeah, okay, let's stick with it. Let's keep that lift and coast up. It will help. I've done 14 laps already. Let's keep it up. Still quicker than Magnussen.

Once again, lift and coast. Good, that lap. Let's keep it up.

So just white modifier, turn 17.

Okay, we're thinking of taking an extra half a turn out at the stop just to help balance. Let us know what you think. Copy, yeah. Okay, white modifier turn 2 suggestion also.

Okay, Spam, how's that tyre holding up? We're thinking of plan A plus five question.

You decide, that's the pace.

OK mate, copy that. Let us know if the tyre starts getting worse, please.

OK mate, we're going with plan A plus 5. Plan A plus 5, 18 laps completed.

OK mate, good job. Let's keep it up. Keep going.

Okay, so generally medium tyre looking pretty strong at the moment. Let's keep it up.

OK, this man, Russell, boxed. He's going to come out one and a half seconds behind us for info. He'll be on the hard tyre most likely.

And we are racing.

Okay, so a dig on the hard tyre. Slightly higher than expected. We'd like to extend this stint another few laps if we can. Copy. He's coming fast behind. Copy. Magnussen 1.2.

Based on what, do you see the hood back higher?

It's just based on lap time of other cars and complaints of other ones out there. So we're happy at the moment. We're going to go for another couple of laps. Stick with it.

Box, this is Live Festival. Box, box, box, box.

Hard tyre, one and a half turns down.

And status 0, status 0. Clear pit exit.

Okay, we've got at least a 15 lap advantage on all the cars in front on hard.

Cars in front lapping 22.7 on average.

Ok, cars in front. Fernando, then Bottas, Pierre, Ricciardo, Sargeant. I think they all need to stop again.

Once we've brought this tyre in, we're happy to try reducing lift and coast for info as well. Copy.

Pierre, box on for the medium. 18 seconds behind.

Okay, so just sock 8 when you can.

With other people need to make second stops. Unless Fernando goes to the end, we're looking at P10 at the moment. Let's keep it up.

Press and hold available.

Okay, nice job on this push-up.

Stroll and Magnussen boxed. Stroll will come out ahead. Magnussen behind. Last lap times of the medium run is at the back now. 21.5, so we're keeping up with them.

Verstappen, the race leader, is nine seconds behind. We think he'll be going to the end, same tyre age as yours.

Okay, so that's P14 at the moment. Four cars in front we think are going to have to stop again. This is P10 at the moment.

And Sox 6 as well. Sox 6 when you like.

Okay, so we're in diff mid 9 at the moment. We're happy to come down on that as you like for balance. 22 laps remaining.

Verstappen, the race leader, four seconds behind him.

Okay, so the first car that's a threat to us is Zhou. He's about 10 seconds behind at the moment on the medium. He's lapping mid 21s as it stands.

Flashing blue, Verstappen. He's 2.1 behind me.

So there's a possibility the four cars in front try to make it to the end. We think it's going to be a struggle for them. The tyre's 15 laps older than yours. Let's try and push through them if we can.

Blue flag Verstappen.

Cars behind Norris and Leclerc. Six seconds. They're in P2 and P3.

Single press overtake available. Start finish straight only.

I'm going to see if we can get Norris' blue flag this time.

Blue flag, Norris. Leclerc 1.6 behind him.

Okay, blue flag Leclerc, he's in P3.

Zhou behind. Three seconds, we're racing him.

15 laps to go.

Magnussen the car behind 1.4.

Magnussen does not have DRS. Piastri 1.7 behind him. We'll get a blue flag for Piastri.

Blue flag Piastri.

Sainz car behind.

Blue flags, Sainz.

Overtake available.

10 laps to go.

Stop 8 when you can.

Ok, cars behind Zhou, then Pierre, then Fernando and then Hamilton. Hamilton will be coming through the group.

Cars behind all on five lap newer mediums.

Seven laps to go.

Car behind Zhou, then Hamilton. We'll get a blue for Hamilton.

Blue flag, Hamilton.

Press and hold available.

Four laps to go.

OK, let's push to the end to get ourselves clear.

Sock 6, three laps to go.

Zhou, the car behind, 1.7.

Two laps to go.

Gap behind still 1.7.

Overtake available for the last lap. One more lap to go.

Okay, and that is the chequered flag. Scenario 10, please. Keep recharge off. Scenario 10, keep recharge off.

Okay, mate. P14, not an easy one there.

Yeah, no, it was too difficult to keep everyone behind or even to attack. I couldn't do anything. No, we were stuck. We had lots to work on for this one and we didn't have the race, unfortunately.

Yeah, I mean, your lap times at the end show we were just a bit stuck for all of it, but we gave it a good go anyway. The cars we thought were going to have to do a second stop never did, so Tsunoda did 50 laps on the hard-to-finish P10. Hulkenberg 49 laps to P11.

Yeah, copy. Okay, well done anyway. Normal inlap procedures please on the way round.

The drinks kit as well has a bit of fluid in it, so let's make sure you get some of that on board. And then we'll be coming in the pit entry at the end of the lap. Copy that.

OK, coming in the pitlane entry and normal switch-off procedures.
