Okay, big lift if we can and let's go scenario 12. We need to focus on fuel saving. Maximum fuel saving. And if we can pick up marbles. That's really not fair, I don't like that. I really don't like that. If he's the race leader, blue flag straight away.

Making progress and fighting with one red bull.

That's a good sign, so let's keep working.

Yeah, well done, mate. Let's keep pushing.

So yeah, Verstappen, Norris and Hamilton, Russell in P4, Leclerc 5th, Sainz 6th, Piastri, then Perez.
