And if we can do some weaving where possible, we can do some aggressive weaving.

So we'd like one burnout out of 16 and another one out of 18.

And then we can do four short burnouts out of 19.

And then we'll do a static white point learn and get ready for the start.

Last car on the grid.

What did he do? What did he do? What did he try to attack me for? Red flag. Red flag. So recharge on. Red flag.

Ok, so let's box. We're boxing this lap. Recharge on.

Alright man, so we're boxing this lap. We'll stop in the fast lane.

And once we're stopped in the pass lane, we can switch off.

Do you want me to stay in or stay out?

Radio check.

What tyres did Stroll use for the pre-start?

Yeah, one second.

I see some clouds forming. Is there any rain coming or absolutely zero chance?

So, so one burnout after 16 and then three after the last corner.

Do you still need a pipe on P5 in the pitlane?

Remind me that one, because it's unusual.

Copy.

Who's behind Stroll?

Yeah, let's have good feedback and let's see what we can save.

Okay Pierre, we'd like to do a burnout out of turn 11.

And let's focus on weaving.

So if we can do a burnout out of 11 and then we can do some aggressive weaving.

If we can do a burnout.

And then let's do three burnouts out of 19.

And once we're on the grid, we'll do a static right point learn. And we need to go scenario 1. Scenario 1.

And last car is on the grid.

The car behind is Stroll, 0.7.

DRS enabled.

Okay, Pierre, if we get fail Bravo 03 on and off.

And if we're going to fail, Bravo 03 on and off.

So, Bravo 0-3 on-off.

Group it up. So that's fail Bravo 0-3 on and off.

Okay, that switch change is good for us, so let's just focus on tyre management.

Okay Pierre, so current thinking is all cars are going to go to the end.

The pace is extremely slow.

Yeah, Pierre, we agree, pace does look slow. Energy is all looking good for us.

Gap to Stroll behind is 1.1. It does not have DRS.

And when you can, Pierre, if we can get the cooker knob back to tyre.

Gap to Stroll 1.2.

And gap to Stroll 0.9.

So, gap to Albon 0.5, Stroll 1.4.

Gap to Albon, 0.5.

Gap to Albon, 0.7. Stroll is 1.9 behind. We're happy with management so far.

You want me to open the gap?

So gap to Albon is 1.1 so if we're not going to have DRS then we could increase the gap by another second.

And drink reminder.

Let's be careful with these tyres. Tsunoda told not to increase the pace.

The Mercedes ahead are starting to increase pace but Tsunoda told not to follow.

Okay, we're happy to take a bigger gap from Albon. Just focus on tyre management. 62 laps remaining.

Okay, gap to Albon is 2.0, gap to Stroll behind 1.8. We're happy with this.

Energy front and rear.

Energy is looking conservative. We're happy with what we're seeing.

Gap to Albon 2.7. Gap to Stroll 1.8.

And gap to Albon 2.4, gap to Stroll 2.1.

Do you want me to balance the energy differently or be with what we're doing?

Okay Pierre, we're happy with what we're doing, so just keep doing this.

So you're doing a good job here. Albon and Tsunoda ahead are managing 2.2 to Albon.

I'm not pushing.

Okay, gap to Albon 1.0, gap to Stroll 0.9.

What tyre is Alonso?

So, Fernando on the medium tyre. Yes, we're all on the same board behind.

Yeah, we are just watching Alonso. He is backing off from Stroll, starting to create a gap.

Stroll is 1.3 behind.

So, Stroll behind has been told to focus on management, not attacking, so we're happy to keep a gap to Albon.

So gap to Albon 2.8, gap to Stroll is 1.8.

So all cars in a similar situation, focusing on management, but talk about the race strategy. You keep doing what you're doing.

You're doing a good job with tyres.

3.0 and gas to Albon, 3.0. Gap to Stroll, 2.0.

Gap to Albon, 3.0. Gap to Stroll, 1.8. Remember to drink.

Gap to Albon, 3.6. Gap to Stroll, 1.6.

Okay Pierre, let's just keep... be mindful of that front left. Let's take care of that front left tyre.

And Alonso behind is doing 21.5, so he's building a gap for Stroll.

You've got mid 4 available. Mid 4.

So gap to Albon 3.0, gap to Stroll 1.4. Alonso is 8 seconds behind Stroll.

So let's just really take good care of this front left tyre. So more management where you can.

So gap to Albon 3.6, gap to Stroll 2.5.

And we do think Stroll has some front graining, so let's just do the best you can with our tyres.

So tyre management on that last lap was good. So keep doing that. Now we've got 46 laps remaining.

And gap to Albon 4.6, Stroll 2.5.

So, gap to Albon 6.1, gap to Stroll 2.2.

Okay, gap to stroll behind 1.4. We're happy with management.

So, gap to Stroll 1.4.

Gap to Stroll 1.1.

So Alonso behind Stroll is doing 21.2, building a gap.

So gap to Stroll 0.9. Tyre management looking good. You're doing a good job.

Okay, so gap to Stroll 1.0. The gap to Alonso is 13 seconds.

So, we've got 40 laps to go. We think that Alonso is building the gap for Stroll to box for hard.

So, Alonso doing 21-0. So, let's focus on saving these tyres. We'll need to be able to defend towards the end.

Let's really take care of that front left tyre, please.

More management, 7 and 8.

So Alonso still doing 21.2.

And this lap looked better for us, so Alonso and the guys behind are now being overtaken by the leaders.

Yeah, I managed that situation with the blue flag too.

So, Stroll behind has been told to attack. We do think he has front left graining.

So let's just be smart with our defence. We still need to protect our fronts.

Okay, so Stroll has boxed. Alonso built a gap for him, so he'll come out in the same position.

Let me know what you want me to do, if you want me to push or not. We want to save the fronts as best we can because we're going to need to defend.

So let's just keep focusing on managing these front tyres. Stroll will catch us eventually, but we just need to be ready to defend.

So the car behind is race leader Leclerc. He's 12 seconds back. We expect him to catch us in about nine laps.

And we have 35 laps to go.

So you're doing a good job managing the front tyres. We need a little bit more management on the rear left. So let's focus on exits.

So Leclerc is 9.6 behind. We expect to see him in maybe six laps now.

All is done in terms of management. Energy. Management looking good. So gap to Leclerc 9.0.

Yep, you're doing a good job with tyres.

So, gap to Leclerc 7.8.

So, gap to Leclerc now 6.4.

He is still catching us, but slower than expected. Albon ahead doing 20.4. Gap is 4.4.

NLG, everything good on your side?

I'm just focused on rear left management where you can.

I want a corner. Tell me a corner to focus on.

Okay Pierre, so Stroll had a puncture, he's in the box, so now the next car we're racing is Alonso, 19 seconds back, so we just need to focus on these tyres, go into the end, 29 laps remaining after this one.

So, Leclerc is the car behind three seconds back.

He's leading the pack of four cars, the Ferraris and the McLarens. They're all closely together.

And behind this pack of four is Alonso, but he's 12 seconds behind the leaders.

So we just need to focus on the rear left at the minute.

And we have a blue flag for Leclerc.

Car behind now, Piastri. Car behind now, Piastri, 1.5. Blue flag for Piastri. Blue flag for Piastri.

And blue flag for Sainz and Norris.

Okay, car behind is Alonso, 13 seconds back.

What's his pace? He's on the same tyre as you, doing 19.3.

We just need to focus on managing these tyres and making it to the end.

OK, tyre energy is all looking good to us. Car behind is now Russell, 15 seconds back.

And gap to Russell is 13.8.

OK, so 22 laps remaining. We still need to protect this front left. Turn 4 and turn 5. Let's do more management there.

So, gap to Russell behind is 7.0.

So, gap to Russell 4.6. So, tyres are all looking good. You're doing a good job.

So, gap to Russell now 2.4. Behind Russell is Verstappen. He's 3.5 behind Russell.

Fernando Alonso, where is he? Alonso still 19 seconds back.

And we have a blue flag for Russell.

And a blue flag for Verstappen.

Okay, Hamilton now the car behind 5.6. We've got 18 laps to go.

And remember to drink.

So, Hamilton now 1.7 behind.

We have a blue flag for Hamilton.

OK, so car behind is Alonso. He's 14 seconds back, doing 19.2.

You're doing a good job with tyres, we're happy with management.

So, gap to Alonso, 14.1. There's no need to push. Just focus on making it to the end.

What place do you want?

Okay, so Albon ahead doing 19.5, so we don't need to go much slower than that, but let's just keep an eye on these tyres.

How many laps? And we have 14 laps to go. 1-4.

Gap to Alonso is still 13.5.

So, suggest a bit more management in turn 4 and 5.

Gap to Alonso, 12.8.

And that last lap looked good, so we're happy to run in the high 18s.

And Alonso last lap was an 18.6.

Gap to Alonso, 12.3.

10 laps remaining.

Gap to Alonso, 11.8.

Gap to Alonso, 11.5. His last lap was a 17.9.

We're happy to do low 18s, high 17s, just to keep the gap.

Okay, gap to Alonso now 12.6. He has backed off a bit.

And Alonso, last lap in 18.5.

Gap to Alonso, 12.7. We have six laps remaining.

Is there any point for me to push hard now and try to have a gap or pit stop and fastest lap? I have one second in me.

From our side, there's no interest to push.

Our goal here is just to make it to the end on these tyres. That could get us another point.

Okay, we hear what you're saying, Pierre, but we're happy where we are. So just keep doing what you're doing, please.

OK, Pierre, we need fail B-0-0 on. Fail Bravo 0-0 on.

OK, thanks for that. Two laps remaining.

Okay, Leclerc, the car behind, 13 seconds back. This is the final lap.

OK. We can have scenario 12. Scenario 12.

Scenario 12, so that is the chequered flag. That's P10, mate.

That was a long old race, but very good job managing those tyres, managing the gaps. Good work today.

Thank you guys. We had a positive weekend with the first V3 of the year. That point today was not...

I think we did the best we could, so...

Let's keep pushing. It's just a point, but going in the right direction, so let's keep pushing, guys. Yeah, we'll keep pushing, taking steps forward. So thanks for your work this weekend. Finishing order, the top 10 finished where they started. So Leclerc, P1, Piastri, then Sainz, Norris, Russell, Verstappen in 6th, then Hamilton, Tsunoda, Albon and yourself. Thanks for watching.

Yeah, that's pretty cool. I'm happy for Charles. Long time coming, so...

Long race for everyone. Only five cars stopped, so that means the rest of the grid did the whole stint.

Yeah, I must say it was not the most exciting race inside the cockpit, but we did the best we could. Well managed. Good job getting to the end. Thanks, buddy.

Where are we the first ones to do the whole race distance on the medium?

Russell, yourself, Alonso did the race on the medium. Russell managed to do the race on medium. Russell, I'm showing that he did, yeah.
