So, Sainz on new tyres here. We are going to understeer here.

Strat 30. Strat 30. More energy.

And fail 10. Fail when you can. Fail 1-0. Fail.

Thanks for the go blues also.

Hot, hard day, but we did what we could.

Yeah, that was a hard start. But thank you, boys. Thanks for your effort. We will come back. Pre-charge on. Pre-charge on and then fail 84. That last stint was proper.

We showed the pace, sir.

Well done, Checo. That was a decent drive today. Good recovery.

Yep. Can't wait to get back to the form the whole team deserves, guys. Thank you. OK, finishing order, Piastri, Norris, Hamilton, Leclerc, Max, Sainz, yourself, Russell, Tsunoda, Stroll. What happened to Max? Max and Lewis countered each other at turn 1.

That's being investigated after the race.
