Clutch drop on target.

Yellow modifier on.

OK, last car is forming up.

Hulkenberg, the car behind.

DRS enabled.

Hulkenberg behind has DRS.

OK, nice work so far. Opening the gap to Hulkenberg behind. Tyre energies look good. Keep it up.

OK, mate. How are the tyres, please? How are the tyres? Yeah, still OK. Copy.

Okay, tyre introduction was very good. We're happy with this level of management. Keep it.

OK, mate. How's the balance, please? How's the balance? Yeah, balance OK. Copy.

OK, first two cars are boxed, Zhou and Tsunoda.

Okay, all looking good so far. Let's keep going.

If anything, it's a front now, front left. Copy.

Okay mate, so you've got the open modifier available, you could go down to diff entry 3 as well, diff entry 3 an option.

Ok, Perez now the car behind. 3.4. Bottas has boxed as well.

OK mate, nice job so far. Keep it up.

Let's go status 1, please Esteban. Status 1 to help look after the tyres. Status 1.

Box this lap, Esteban. Box, box, box, box.

70. Medium tyre, one turn down. Should be clear pit exit.

Okay, great stop. Hulkenberg six seconds behind currently. He boxed the lap before.

Bracing, Perez behind.

Is outlap critical? No, we're good at the moment mate.

Esteban, when you can, fail B-0-0. OK. Not urgent.

Okay, Pierre boxed. He had a slow stop at the close pit exit.

Okay, so Albon and Ricciardo in front yet to stop.

Okay, Pierre, the car behind.

Pierre has DRS behind him.

I'll race with Perez and Hulkenberg behind.

Okay, so I'm happy to push a bit more turn 3 to save a bit more in turn 9. So push more turn 3, save turn 9 to help the front. Yeah, we have no grip. Car doesn't work, so...

OK, well hopefully this will help, Papa.

PU2, position 5. PU2, position 5.

Okay, all cars around us have boxed now.

How much slower up and down I am? Last lap half a second. Perez behind. Six lap hold. Used softs for info.

Join differences to follow. Standby.

Okay, so in time to gain, prepare the exit at turn 9, so sacrifice the entry there, and then minimum speed 10 and 12.

Am I sliding more or not?

Okay, P.A. is using a higher gear through there. Sliding looks similar.

OK, so I need to introduce some lift and coast, please. 30 metres into turn 1 to start. Comfortably quicker than Perez behind.

How was it, this lap?

Okay, I'm happy with 10 and 12 that lap. Just a little bit mid-corner turn 5.

Okay, we could suggest the open modifier turn 9 as well.

Okay, Leclerc pit exit could be close.

Alright, this level of list and coast is very good. Keep it up, please. Cars behind Perez and then Piastri. His medium tyres are eight laps newer than ours.

OK, let's get back into that left at coast.

Let's try and focus. Exit turn 9. Sacrifice a little on entry. Piastri car behind.

Okay, Perez, point eight with DRS.

Okay Esteban, we need to increase lift and coast where we can please. Perez 0.6 behind with DRS.

Guys, the wheel damaged because the car has no fucking grip at the moment.

Understood, Esteban. No major concerns the minute we're looking.

It's oversteer entry, understeer mid and oversteer exit. All over the place.

Okay, I understood. So, for the stop, what do you think about flap? Let's go up to entry 4 as well, add some support.

Keep the same, the flap is not the concern. Okay, understood. Stay with it, come on.

OK, mate. Clean track ahead. Let's make the most of it.

Okay, we need that one second of lift and coast, please. We need that now.

Every lap. Lap time, every lap, please. 1.5 tenths of gear. OK, so 1.5 tenths of gear. Driving advice to follow. Good.

What do you mean? One and a half tenth slower than Pierre. One and a half tenth slower than Pierre. I'll let you know where.

Last lap, midcourse at turn 5.

It's just going up to mid-fourth to help support the entries up to mid-fourth.

Okay, Pierre at a slow last lap, 22.5.

I was fighting with Piastri. Yeah, he was, yeah.

Perez, Lewis, Perez.

Perez, three cars back, about 12 seconds behind.

So, at the moment, Esteban, our main fight is with Hulkenberg. We still aren't sure. Ampere is a strategy. He's stuck behind Zhou, as it stands.

Okay, mate, so we still recommend going up on BIF entry or mid just to help support the entry. That should help mid-corner then exit. Focus exits 5 and 12, please.

Box this lap, Esteban. Box, box.

Hard tyre, no flap adjust.

Car ahead to Ricciardo. 20 lap on mediums. 4 behind is Albon. 18 laps soft.

OK mate, we're happy with this introduction so far.

OK, SOC 820, go.

Okay, so we're getting some time to Hulkenberg. Fernando in front still needs to stop.

So, Joe and Fernando in front still need to stop. That puts us P10 at the moment. If Pierre boxes, sorry, correction, Perez boxes, he'll come out behind us.

Okay, so Perez will stop again in six or seven laps. His last lap time 19.4.

OK, Pierre's last lap time 19.6. Pierre's last lap time 19.6. It's the old time! It's the old time!

Pierre, last lap 98.

So, Fernando, in front, 20 lap older tyres than yours, mediums.

22 laps to go.

Ok mate, only place the focus on exit turn 5 if we can. All looking good so far.

Print for Hulkenberg behind under investigation for speeding in the pitlane.

Okay, so Hulkenberg has a five second penalty for speeding in the pitlane. 19 laps to go.

Hulkenberg, last lap time 18.9.

Perez boxing.

Perez should come out behind about two seconds.

I have a race in Paris to the end.

Suggest close modifier 12 for extra support there.

15 laps to go.

And socket 6. Socket 6.

OK, Hulkenberg has DRS.

13 laps to go. Hulkenberg with DRS.

OK mate, nice job pulling away from him. 12 laps to go.

Okay, so I need to reintroduce that lift to coast half a second, please.

Tyre energies even pushing at this pace are fine, so keep it up.

OK, 11 laps to go. Just need to maintain that half a second lift and coast around the lap and we're good.

Pierre Lapping, mid-nineties.

Average pace about 19.2.

Only small loss to Pierre at the moment. It's just mid-corner turn 5, but your exit is good, so maintain that, please.

Cars are front lapping 19.1 at the moment. Nine laps to go.

OK, eight laps to go.

Pace in front 19.3.

Seven laps to go. No threats behind Hulkenberg.

Okay, sergeant in front. We'll get a blue flag shortly.

OK, five laps to go.

Gas man quick now a small increase of lift and coast please.

OK, four laps to go. Reminder, Hulkenberg behind has a five-second penalty. Maintain that increase of lift and coast completes for the last few laps.

Three laps to go.

Two laps to go.

OK, last lap. Overtake available if needed. Last lap.

Okay, scenario 12, please. Slow inlap, slow inlap. And drive offline, please. Drive offline.

Slow in lap. Max fuel saving. Drive offline. Copy that. OK, well done. P10 and an extra point. That's a nice one.

Yeah, copy. Good job, yeah. Good job to get the point out of that race, yeah.

That medium tyre didn't look particularly friendly, I have to say, from our side. Yeah, I don't think it was a tyre mate, honestly. I think something going on there. But yeah, we can review after. OK, understood. Well... We need to find it for next week. Yeah, absolutely. OK. Well, well managed anyway for that. Quite a lot going on. OK, so...

Ok mate, so I'll just round up the top 10 on your way round. So Verstappen 1, Norris and Hamilton on the podium. Russell, Leclerc and Sainz. Piastri, Perez 7th and 8th. Pierre 9th, yourself 10th. Hulkenberg, obviously just behind us, but with that 5 second penalty. And then a big gap behind to Fernando in P12. So we managed to separate ourselves nicely from that group.

Okay, so we're about to drive offline and boxing now into Parc fermé.

OK, and I'll switch off procedures when you come to a stop.
