Yeah, are you ticked?

Wait, say that again. Plus what?

It's just under 90 seconds, Max. Tyre update. We've got Sainz ahead on the hard tyre. And Daniel behind on the soft. Otherwise, rest of the field mainly on medium tyres.

Just under one minute.

And that's 10 seconds.

B-Bal offset plus one.

No transcript available

OK, Max, that's going to be one long and one short. One long, one short burnout and the extra ramp.

Last car approaching back of the grid.

Ah, that's crazy, these guys.

Alex is delicately spacing the lap.

Understood, Max. And mode 7.

DRS enabled.

OK, mode 8, Max. Mode 8. Car ahead, Lando.

So just sensible on the tyres at this stage, Max. Nothing to get in the way from you.

Strat 6.

So, just patience at this stage, Max.

Mode 8 is very slow, guys.

Yeah, we're looking at it, Max. It's fine. Maybe one more lap, that's it.

For reference, gap behind now 1.8. We can go mode 7, Max, mode 7.

And Strat 7.

Engine 11, position 6 when you can. Engine 11, position 6.

Management, for the moment, the traffic looks good, Max. Keep it up.

If Russell has lost DRS to Piastri.

Mode 6.

Box and pit confirm, Max. Box, pit confirm. Strat 12 in pitlane.

Strat 13. Strat 13.

Yes, please, Max. Don't overstress it either.

OK, so the car's yet to pit. Leclerc, Sainz, Norris.

Just a rather start of stint max now.

Okay, so you have track position over Lando. We're just shy on Sainz, but Sainz is staying out. So, again, Brittany's in nicely, Max.

Max, medium tyre appearance was excellent, so we do believe it's a strong tyre for the end of the race.

I have understeer at turn 5 and oversteer at turn 8. Understood.

Info, Sainz yet to pit, 49.2. Norris, 49.9.

Max, energy info update. When looking to cancel the clip, if you press it halfway along the straight, we think that could be beneficial. So around turn 16, 17 for this straight and just over the top of turn 4 on the run to Lekker.

Gap to Hamilton 6.3.

Engine 11, position 5. Engine 11, position 5.

Okay, info, Lando pitted, last lap.

I think I still try to get the pace.

George will have DRS thermals. Just think about that.

These tyres are easy for heating. Yeah, understood, Max. So, let's repeat the stint 1. Just keep yourself within DRS, but look after them in all the places you know.

There's a very long way yet to go, Max, so I still just need that patience.

Just keep on top of those lifts.

So, Sainz is pitting this lap. Max, for reference, his last lap, lap 19, was a 49.0.

He was on hard tyres.

And Max, no need to dump energy here. Do not use energy.

Norris, 1.1.

I have understeer in course 13. Okay, copy that.

Diff adjustments for it, if necessary.

OK, so Lando will have DRS.

What's the gap? It was 0.7.

I have no tyres, I don't really hear the braking.

OK, as I say, diff is available, Max.

Point eight.

OK, pull toggle turn 12 is available.

One second.

That was also one second max.

0.9. OK, so race update, Hamilton, Leclerc, Checo have all made their final stops.

And a front flap update when you can, Max. I have understeer now. I have no grip. Understood.

Max, box opposite Russell. Opposite Russell. Box.

Strat 13. Strat 13.

It's a Lando also fitted max.

OK, so info max. We're looking at a 16 lap stint on the medium. Just make sure we've got the tyres at the end.

All other cars around us hard.

Piastri ahead. Pits out. Hard tyre.

Okay, so now it's a 15 lap, 14 lap sprint from here to the end. You're effective P5 at the moment.

I think Lando will signal at me, so let me know what you want me to do. Yeah, we're happy for you to push now, Max, as well. Happy to push.

The gap was 0.9.

OK, Hamilton, 47.0.

Russell's looking to stay out for a one-stop.

And it's one second behind to Lando. Does not have the RS.

1.2

Engine 11, position 1. When you can, Max. Engine 11, position 1.

Lando did not have DRS to turn 1 that last lap either.

1.3 behind. OK, 10 laps to go. 10 of your finest, mate. Come on.

Engine 9, position 3. When you can. Engine 9, position 3.

Lando at point 8.

OK, just under one second has DRS. You are strong in turn 1, so keep it there, Max.

Car ahead, Leclerc.

Lando behind point seven.

Point six. He's right behind you now.

Gap was 0.9.

Five laps remaining, Max. Lando 0.7.

Gap ahead. Ahead 0.6, behind 0.7.

Battery is full. Only use what you need.

Lando, point 5.

0.5 ahead, 0.4 behind.

Lando, point 4.

Mode 7.

Two laps remain. Gap ahead. 0.5, 0.5.

Max, if you press the overtake, can you delay it until turn 17, please? 16, 17. Lando, 0.6.

This will be your final lap.

Yes, that's 0.7 ahead, 0.8 behind. 0.7 ahead, 0.8 behind.

Lando, point 6.

Point five.

Well done, Max. Not a bad result. Well done.

Yeah, damage limitations is tough to follow here, and you have a quite similar pace.

And recharge on.

Yeah, that was a strong drive, Max. Well done, mate. Well done with what we had today. That was, I think, the optimum.
