I should be OK.

Clutch drop 2% too light.

DRS enabled.

Why are we at the bottom of the fucking track again? We need to go to sock 8 now. Hulkenberg doesn't have DRS in front. Let's stick with him.

OK mate, we'll recharge, it's just down to overtake usage. Be alright.

Okay, consider white modifier turn 1, 3 and 4.

Okay, man, let's stick with it.

Lift the coast is good each lap.

Tyres now staple.

OK, that's staying on plan for now.

Okay, when you can, diff exit 9. Diff exit 9 will help understeer turn 6.

Okay, Magnussen has boxed PU13, position 4. PU13, position 4.

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

Esteban, for now we're staying on target to target plus two. Stay with it.

Okay, so let's try and watch rear sliding mid to exit turn 3.

Okay, so far both Haas cars, Ricciardo and Albon have boxed.

Ok mate, all these guys have boxed quite early. Staying on optimum plan.

Your rear is degrading now. Okay, copy that.

And sock six. Sock six.

Okay, we'd like to go torque 8 to reduce rear slips. Torque 8.

P.U.13, position 3.

Brake balance two clicks forwards to help the rears.

Okay, mate, so phase and status updates when you can. Phase and status.

The face is getting better now.

Status, as good as it can be. Understood. It's all about controlling those rear slips.

OK, 17 laps complete. Nice work so far. Keep it up.

Okay, so Esteban, so we're on plan to on plan plus two.

Okay, so that's when we do stop. We're going to come out behind cars that have pitted already, but we'll have a good tyre delta.

OK mate, let's reduce status please. Let's push now.

And how is the balance, Esteban?

He's OK, I think.

Box now, please. Let's go and box now.

Turn in. OK. Hard tyre, half a turn down.

Okay, I could be close to Albon pit exit.

Okay, Pierre boxed. Might be close at pit exit.

Ok mate, all cars in front, tyres at least 10 laps old.

OK, mate, we should break Albon's DRS this lap.

Ok, broken it, well done. Fernando in front, 13 lap old, mediums lapping, mid 1.11s.

Okay, Pierre, the car behind, SOC 8 to recover battery.

I've got too much understeer in the car. Understood. Start swapping those switches.

Ok mate, we're half a second quicker than the next three cars ahead. We're running P12 at the moment.

OK, nice work.

First time when you can at diff gain 6. It's going to help reduce understeer.

It's either we attack in front or behind. You let me know.

Overtake available for Fernando.

OK, let's keep the pressure on.

Ricardo in front doesn't have DRS, let's push up.

Cars in front lapping 11.9.

Come on, just keep pushing.

OK, Magnussen in front. Tyres 10 laps older than ours. Hard tyre.

Okay, mate, we're sticking on the plan at the moment, so let's keep going.

OK, Hulkenberg has boxed as well. Suggest torque 8. Torque 8 to help the rears.

Okay, SOC 9 to help with battery and overtake.

OK, we need to watch for Tsunoda. He's on the same pattern as us. We've been told to hold position, please.

So, Tsunoda, two and a half behind, same tyre age as us, same pattern.

Okay, Stojan, how's the balance now? Not good. Okay, what would you like on flat, please? A hat. How much?

We're defined to one and a half turns up.

And box this lap. Just unbox, box.

Turn 8. Okay, medium tyre, 1 turn up.

Come out between Pierre and Albon.

Okay, so Pierre in front, Albon behind. Do I have Russell coming through the group of cars behind so it will be blue flags eventually?

And SOC 6, SOC 6.

Okay, so Pierre's first lap 109.6.

Okay, mate, so 25 laps left.

Okay, in front of Pierre is Leclerc. We're racing him. We're quicker than him.

Ricciardo, a few cars in front. Tyres six laps older than ours. Might be a stretch at the end.

Guys, let's keep our pressure up.

If understeer is still a problem, you can go diff gain 5, should help.

21 laps to go.

OK, so the cars in front of Pierre that we're now racing, Perez, Ricciardo, Magnussen, Hulkenberg, Lapping, and Woman at 11s.

It would be 12 at the moment. 19 laps to go. Let's keep pushing up.

Okay, so just one click forwards brake bias.

OK mate, so Sargeant, the car behind, is a lap down on us. Don't need to worry about him.

Fail B-0-0-OK, please. Fail B-0-0-OK.

Verstappen, the brakes are about 8 seconds behind.

15 laps to go.

OK mate, we're happy with tyres this level of lift in coast. Just watch those rear slips mid and exit at 3.

OK, race leaders five seconds behind.

Okay, top snap, smooth corner through, could go up to torque 8 if there's a problem.

Why are we losing? Because I've got no grip on the high speed. High speed pace is quicker on Pierre at the moment. We'll be back with you shortly.

Ok, so cars behind Verstappen and Norris, they are P1 and P2 racing closely. We have a flashing blue for them.

Verstappen and Norris racing very closely. 1.8 behind.

Only lost Pierre, entry turn 7.

Okay, blue flag Verstappen, Norris within 0.2. Please let them through cleanly. Clear behind them.

PU13, position 4 please, PU13, position 4.

OK, so I'm going to need to look after these rear tyres now, in 3 in particular. Let's go up on torque, torque 8.

And small amount of lift in coasts 3 and 4 will help.

OK, race leaders behind you will have a blue flag for them.

Looks like they're both boxing.

Safety car windows are open.

Seven laps to go.

Check front right. Understood. We have rear derailleur.

OK, it all looks OK at the moment.

Come on, it all looks OK to us.

Yes, we see general vibration increasing slightly but it's not a concern for us.

And VSC, VSC, pitlane entry is closed. VSC, pitlane entry is closed. Let's stay as close to zero on that delta as we can. So the situation at the moment, Pierre and Ricciardo, the cars in front. Behind we have Leclerc, who's in P12, and then Sargeant, who is a lap down. So it's Leclerc we need to watch for here. He's on mediums, 10 laps newer than ours.

What position are we? We're P11 at the moment.

Pitlane entry is now open. VSC ending, VSC ending.

So, six laps to go as it stands.

PU13, position 5, PU13, position 5.

Five laps to go. Leclerc 1.8 behind me.

Four laps to go. Leclerc 1.3.

Three laps to go. Leclerc point 8 with DRS.

Sock 3. Sock 3. Two laps to go.

Overtake available all main straights.

OK, that is the chequered flag. Scenario 12, please.

Okay, and that's P12.

Yeah, I was slow in that race. The car was really, really hard to drive. I'm not sure why. But a lot of sliding and poor balance from oversteer to understeer. Yeah, understood. Didn't seem like something that we'd seen much this weekend, at least in qualifying. No. OK, mate, so we need to have a good look at that. So sorry about that.

Yeah, so with that late confusion and clash at 3, Norris retired Verstappen and finished up in 5th. He managed to put another set on and get going. So Russell 1, then Piastri and then Sainz top 3.

OK mate, so normal inlap procedures from here please, so I'll be coming in the pitlane entry. Normal switch off. Reminder to get some fluids on board as well. It's been a long one.

OK, normal switch-off procedures.

And we'll see you back in the office.
