Tsunoda is 1.8 behind. Albon, who has stopped once and is on five lap mediums, is one second behind Tsunoda.

If we were to box now, we would come out eight seconds behind Stroll.

Car behind is Albon on six lap for mediums.

OK, Kev, remember you're coming in the pitlane exit. Coming the wrong way down the pitlane. Mode in, please. Mode in.

Kev, I thought you did a brilliant job there. We just didn't have the pace today. Obviously we got qualifying wrong again yesterday. But I really thought that was a great drive there. And I'm sorry, it only resulted in P for P.

Yeah, I guess we just didn't have the pace right. We tried the one-stop, I don't know if it was good or not, but I think we actually felt like a good car with balance. I can't see what we could have done differently. Thanks guys, have a good summer break. Copy that, you too Kip.

FYI, Russell won the race on a one-stop, from Hamilton on a two-stop. Piastri was 3rd, Leclerc 4th, Verstappen 5th, Norris 6th, Sainz 7th, Perez 8th, Alonso 9th and Ocon was 10th.

Yeah, not too much damage to the championship. Yeah, it was great.
