Max Verstappen
12:55:29
Yep, radio check.
12:58:44
So, Max, tyre update. Currently the live information we're getting through is that Lando is starting the race on his new set of soft tyres.
12:58:58
Other cars behind you on scrub. Sorry, Mercedes behind you on scrub. Both Ferraris also new soft.

The final car just leaving the grid now, Max.
13:03:27
Last car approaching the back of the grid.
13:04:04
I got pushed off to the grass. Understood.
13:04:14
So car ahead is at Russell.
13:04:36
Mode 6. Mode 6.
13:05:25
DRF is now enabled, Max.
13:05:54
Might be our best opportunity now, Max. Think wisely.
13:06:22
Point six.
13:06:58
Display 8 when you can.
13:07:40
1.1 does not have DRS.
13:09:05
Gap 4.1.
13:10:25
1.2.
13:10:59
So time loss only straight line and turn 13 and 14. Obviously George pushing to keep Lando behind him.
13:11:15
Mode 7.
13:11:47
1.4.
13:13:09
1.8. Russell on a 21.3.
13:13:42
We're still saving a little bit more than Russell in turn 3, which is fine at this stage, Max.
13:14:25
I think we've just about stabilised and peaked on the rear left tyre max. Starting to drop now.
13:15:52
Gap 2.3. Russell 21.1.
13:16:07
Russell pushing turn 3, turn 14.
13:17:06
Mode 6, Max.
13:18:00
Front wing uptake, waiting cam max on the main straight. Yeah, that's perfect.
13:18:33
Gap 2.7.
13:18:49
Russell, push in turn 3, turn 9, 13 and 14.
13:19:22
Got a bit of a movement in 7. Understood.
13:19:49
You can start to reduce the level of management gradually now, Max.
13:19:55
Gap 2.7.
13:21:49
Gap 3.3.
13:22:37
3.8.
13:23:25
Wind is freaking out. Copy.
13:23:54
OK, so Russell in pitlane max.
13:24:01
Russell and Sainz in the pitlane.
13:24:15
A slow stop for Russell.
13:25:15
OK, reduce all levels of management, Max. Reduce all levels of management.
13:25:21
Lando, 20.4.
13:25:52
Yeah, it was a 21-0 DRS corrected.
13:26:24
Box and pit confirm please, Max. Box, pit, confirm.
13:26:34
Strat 12 in pitlane.
13:26:48
Strat 10, please. Strat 10. White line on the exit.
13:26:56
Lando pace was at 20.9, so just easy introduction.
13:27:51
So, gap to Russell, four seconds.
13:27:57
So that middle sector is six steps quicker than Lando. Remember, early step pace.
13:28:37
Lando, last lap, 20.4.
13:30:56
So, car ahead, Piastri, lap time 21.8.
13:31:03
Lando still 20.8.
13:34:58
OK, so Lando in pitlane. Leader now, Leclerc, yet to pit. His pace, 21.7.
13:36:18
Leclerc in the pitlane.
13:36:23
Gap to Russell. 5.1.
13:36:38
Russell Hamilton pace 20.0.
13:37:08
Main focus is that Max has a stable level of steer in the high-speed turns.
13:40:51
So, gap to Russell 6.5. Gap to Lando 9.4.
13:41:06
Currently both Mercedes between yourself and Lando.
13:41:34
Tyres are very inconsistent. Copy that, Max.
13:44:17
OK, that's 14 laps complete, listed.
13:46:27
Lando now currently P3.
13:48:35
33 laps complete, Max. So 33 remaining.
13:50:54
Car behind now, Lando.
13:51:15
Gap currently sits at 9.2.
13:52:35
OK, Lando's pace 94.
13:52:46
Most of that will be the tyre race, Delta Max.
13:53:08
Info. Russell and Sainz have pitted for the hard tyre to the end.
13:54:12
In terms of deficits, Max, two main losses, turns 4 and 7.
13:54:29
Also, entry turn 1.
14:01:35
Reduce levels of management max.
14:02:44
Box and pit confirm, Max. Box, pit, confirm.
14:02:52
Strat 12 in pitlane.
14:03:07
Strat 9. White line on exit. Strat 9. White line on the exit.
14:03:23
OK, just mind your peaks. We'll get another stint. 22 lap stint here.
14:03:32
How long was that first lap? 17 on a scrub tyre.
14:04:06
How long must my mediums do?
14:04:12
27.
14:04:36
So, Lando pace 92.
14:05:53
Lando, last lap was at 19.4.
14:06:44
Lando, is it this lap?
14:07:24
Let's get back to day 3. We should be all done here.
14:07:30
Yep, understood.
14:07:33
So Lando is the car behind now.
14:07:48
That's a three-lap delta that Lando wants scrubbing.
14:09:22
Gap is 7 seconds.
14:10:19
So, Lando, pushing hard, not saving tyres, Max.
14:10:24
All corners.
14:11:06
Can I have a look at last high speed turn?
14:11:10
Yep, stand by.
14:11:13
That will be display 5, position 3, when you can.
14:12:24
OK, that's 15.15 laps remaining.
14:12:39
What do you want me to do, mate?
14:12:43
We need to push to the end now, Max. As I say, Lando, not tyre saving.
14:12:51
Lando's pace is a 17.7.
14:13:21
Remain in deficit in the last lap, Max. We've just turned 13 and 14.
14:14:02
Last lap, 17.6.
14:14:17
And strat 10, when you can. Strat 10.
14:14:31
10 or 2, I don't understand. 1-0, 1-0.
14:15:14
Last lap, just turned three, was a loss.
14:16:35
OK, last lap for Lando was a 17.9.
14:16:46
And that was a green lap for you, lap 10 for the Sint.
14:18:26
I need more drift support again. High speed. Understood.
14:18:53
OK, that would be display 5, position 7. Display 5, position 7.
14:19:13
Lando, last lap, 18.1.
14:19:30
Gap currently 5 seconds. That's 10 laps remaining.
14:20:48
Gap 4.9, Lando 17.9.
14:21:50
Gap. Five seconds.
14:22:55
4.8.
14:23:07
The only deficit was sector 1. That's turns 1, 2 and 3.
14:24:08
OK, Max, that's 60 laps. 6-0 complete. Six to go. Gap 4.9.
14:25:22
I need a bit more high-speed drift.
14:25:27
Strat 9. Strat 9.
14:25:44
Display 5, position 11, position 11.
14:25:54
Gap 4.3 but Lando had DRS. Pace corrected 18.3.
14:26:50
Lando, 18.1.
14:28:02
So that's three laps remaining, Max.
14:28:08
The gap is 3.7.
14:29:23
And two more laps.
14:29:27
Gap at three seconds.
14:30:45
And last lap, Max.
14:31:59
Yeah, congratulations, mate. It was hard work, but yeah, you made that race for yourself, I think, down to turn 1 and the overtake on Russell two laps later. Nice job.
14:32:12
Yes! Nice! We were definitely not the quickest out there today, but we did everything by our strategy. Yes!
14:32:24
Well done, Max. That was a brilliantly executed race. You made it count at the beginning with George making that move and, yeah, really well executed race. Well done. Yeah, not a nice win there. Pick up on the way, please, Max, as well.
14:33:02
OK, obviously very close for Lando, but Hamilton 18 seconds behind, Russell 22, Leclerc also 22 seconds behind.
14:33:16
Good race. I think we did everything right with this predator. We kept the gaps, so that was good.
14:33:30
Really good. You were quick when you needed to be and managed the tyres brilliantly. So, yeah, a well-recovered weekend. Well done.
14:34:08
And you are into the pitlane, Max.
