Ready to check, Alex. Yep, copy. Yep, good from our side.

So that's just under six minutes to go.

OK, that's five minutes to green. I'm going to start to head back. It's a long run. OK, have a good night.

Alex, that's two and a half minutes to go. So, cars around you, starting from Tsunoda in P10. You've got Tsunoda, Hulkenberg and Bottas all on medium. Then behind you, Logan on medium. Magnussen on new soft. Perez and Russell are both on new hard. Zhou, Ocon are on medium. Gasly from the pitlane is on new hard. And then the two Aston Martins in P7 and P8 are both on used softs.

That's 90 seconds.

When you're fired up and on the ground, pit limiter on.

30 seconds.

15.

Five seconds.

So, Alex, clutch drop was 2% shallow. 2% shallow.

Okay, as you come to the grid, 2 burnouts please.

So, two burnouts and we're happy with our clutch drop target.

And as you stop, we just need B, make two.

Come on! Yeah, awesome job on the start, mate. DRS enabled.

B-Mig 3 is available if you prefer, otherwise we're happy with 2.

I think we are looking at these guys. Okay, understood.

So, currently thinking plan A-2. A-2.

I'm about 8 tenths ahead, easy, at least.

Okay, understood, Alex. We're checking.

Okay, so don't use overtaking to turn one. We're already getting the maximum.

Okay, so single press black.

Get boxed, Alex, box!

Okay, so hold brake pressure, reset deck switch, and we just need a standard outlap.

OK, track clear. Pit exit.

Okay, set mode 11 when you can.

Okay, the Aston's are pitting, so push on now.

Okay, Alonso had a slow stop, so you may be close to him. He's braking just ahead.

Post-Ricardo pit exit.

How...

Should have been onto the medium.

Does Alonso have damage? He's so slow.

No transcript available

No, Alex, we think he's just managing, trying to help Stroll to get her pitstop on us.

Alex, you see Alonso heads on the medium in about eight laps to have a tyre advantage over him.

Yeah, but Ferguson is easy now.

When you can, green 10, position 3. Green 10, 3. That's shift 3.

So, Stroll is just on our forward pit window. He's now starting to struggle with Degg, so he may not be able to pull out much more.

Stroll's last lap was a 24.8, so he's now starting to struggle. Yeah, and we can't do anything.

He's just holding the group up, so...

Yeah, understood, Alex. So we're thinking plan A minus four.

Is it just Stroll that's quick or is the whole group going with him?

Get as close to Alonso as you can. Stroll might be pitting.

Set mode 9. It should be close to Stroll. Maybe ahead of him. Pit exit.

Okay, so go back to mode 11 when you can. And we've still got Tsunoda and Bottas in our forward pit window. They both go behind us when they stop.

OK, so Bottas is pitting. He should be behind us.

Okay, so Stroll is now a car behind. Increased Lyco to level 2, currently level 1. Why? Why?

I have about 7 or 8 hits in hand. Understood.

OK, copy that. Happy to keep pushing.

Starting lap 18. Currently plan A-5.

So Alex, we're now thinking plan C minus two. Plan C minus two.

OK, because we're thinking plan C-2, try and close the gap if you can, if you've got any pace.

Alex, you're doing a good job. What do you think about the flap?

I don't know, I don't know. I'm really thirsty at the moment. OK, copy that.

I think we've overflown from the hard.

Understood.

One turnover flat for the hard.

Kallix, start to use all the pace you've got now. All the pace.

Tsunoda is pitting this lap. We'll be close pit exit.

Tsunoda stayed out.

So, Alex, we're now thinking we're going to have to go to plan B.

Yeah, but I don't appreciate when you do that at normal times of day.

We're just too indecisive.

Yeah, Alex, we're not close enough to make plan C work, so plan B as your own will not work for us. Yeah, great. Why didn't we say we were going to do it then?

OK, we suggest trying mid 6 to help the balance.

Right ahead now, Hulkenberg, he pitted for Haas on lap 3.

Okay, Alex, maximum pace. Use whatever you've got.

Box, Alex, box!

Go for the windbox opposites. OK, we're racing Ricciardo pit exit. So we're covering Ricciardo.

Okay, car behind is Piastri. He's the leader. He should be able to match his pace. Stay away from the blue.

No one give me a lap time because I don't think I can.

So, we need a target 23.5s.

When you can, blue 11, 3. Blue 11, position 3.

How many laps to go?

So at the line it'll be 34 to go, 3-4.

No transcript available

Yeah, update the tyre switch when you can. What are you thinking? I don't know. I don't know what we are thinking. I don't know what we're trying to do. 34 laps. We're stuck behind a Hassler hoist.

Copy, we'll see what we can do.

H.P.P. on.

Blue 5, position 4. Blue 5, 4.

Suggest mid to position 7. Mid to 7.

OK, another line. That's 30 laps remaining. 3-0.

So, Piastri, the leader, is five seconds back. He's only about two tenths quicker than you, so we expect him to pit before he gets to you.

So the car ahead of Hulkenberg is Bottas. He's on 28 lap old HUDs, so you'll have a second and a half tyre advantage on him.

Okay, close to Stroll pit exit.

Blue 5, position 6. Blue 5, 6 for drivability and suggest exit 3. Blue 5.

So, our BSC window is open.

That's 20 laps remaining.

Okay, we've got Magnussen two behind. He's going to take a blue from the lead of Norris this lap and then we'll get it next lap.

OK, Magnussen's going to take the blue into turn 1, then he'll have Leader Norris 2 behind.

After the blue flag, it would be late overtake into turn 4 to cover off Magnussen. Still no blue yet.

Okay, that's blue flag Norris. Piastri's three behind him.

Piastri is 1.5 back. Magnussen is another two back.

Blue flag Piastri.

How much pressure is Magnussen's tyres?

Five laps, pressure hard.

So, if understeer at turn 2 is a problem, the left flick may help.

So, it's only turns 2 and turn 4 that Magnussen is quicker than us. If he gets close, he'll need to take more help. Turn 4.

Let's relax for a bit.

Yeah, copy that.

That's 10 laps remaining. 10 laps.

I just took a blue from Hamilton and Verstappen.

So we'll get a blue for Hamilton this time round, and he's got Verstappen less than a second behind.

That's blue flag Hamilton and Verstappen.

Window open or not?

Yep, window is open. Standby. Nothing at the moment. So Leclerc 2.5 behind. He'll be a blue and then there'll be one more for Sainz and that should be it for the end.

So Verstappen rejoined. He's just behind Leclerc. So you've got Leclerc, Verstappen and Sainz close behind.

That's a blue flag for Leclerc. Verstappen 1.5 behind.

Blue flag Verstappen and Sainz.

Tyres are completely gone. Completely. Okay, copy that, Alex. You've done a good job on those blues. There's six laps to go.

So tyre temps are a bit low after those blues. We hope they'll come back to us.

Suggest exit 3. Exit 3 and 4 laps remaining.

That's two laps remaining.

Starting final lap.

Over the line, that's the chequered flag, chequered flag.

And HPP off.

Okay, thank you, Alex. So, yeah, that's P14. Yeah, it was quite a tough day in hot conditions, so thank you for sticking with it.

Yeah, it was a bit difficult. I don't think we had the pace today. I don't know why, but...

Yeah, Alex, well done for persisting with it. I also don't think we had the car that need for us for points today, but irrespective, certainly a lot for a visit. Well done for fighting through that. A really great start.

Okay, so obviously box, Alex, box. And just remember, switch off procedure when you stop.
