Radio check, Gary. Radio check.

Loud and clear, Nico. Seven and a half minutes till we go.

Four minutes, Nico.

Okay, Nico. So, Red Bulls Verstappen and Perez are on hard. And then in the back, Ocon, Tsunoda, Stroll, Bottas on hard. Everyone else on medium. Okay, just over two minutes till we go. When we fire up, you'll turn the pit limiter on. Keep the pit limiter until the line and remember to go back to mode RS for the race start.

Get out for fuck's sake.

Ricciardo pushed me into the gravel at turn 8.

Copy that. Co-report it. You can go mode F1. Tyres are OK. Pressure is OK.

DRS enabled and we reported the incident.

Sox 7, Nico. Albon's just four ahead. We're still fully in this pack, so it's not desperate.

I think I got a front brake damage. OK, we're checking.

Do you feel anything, Nico? We're checking. Yeah, it doesn't feel normal. I think something's wrong. Okay, if we go on to a hard, would you keep this balance or adjust? I don't know. I think just keep at the moment. I don't have a good reading yet. Okay, and just confirm after 8-9-10 if you think the wing has an issue.

It definitely was quite a decent back. It doesn't feel completely normal.

Stop it. OK, we'll stay out. Box, box, box. Box then, box, box, box.

He saw me coming and he just turned in. Copy that, Nico.

Mode F1, F1.

Okay, Nico, we'll look to go for like around 22 laps on this tyre, something like that. We'll see how it goes and we'll let you know if we think we're going too fast or slow.

Sox 6. Sox 6.

Tyre managing is good.

Just for info, Ricardo did get a penalty. And just for info, Joe is 32 ahead. He's doing 26.5 on medium. He's the back of the pack.

What did Ricardo get for that? Five seconds.

And then they've just given us a 10 second penalty for the Tsunoda collusion.

What's my pace to the group in front, Kevin? Kevin, 25.9.

Albon's controlling that group pace, so they're doing 25.8 with him. Stroll has some free air ahead. Stroll on hard is doing 26.0.

This tyre feels pretty healthy and stable for now. OK, good news, yeah, we'll keep all options open.

Last lap, Stroll, hard 25.8. Gasly's pitted onto a new hard, so he's 11 ahead. Not sure what his plan is.

So, Nico, the deg on the hard tyre on other runners is low. It's looking good. And Ricardo and Russell just pitted onto hard, so Ricardo 7.7 ahead on the hard.

Alonso is boxing on too hard.

So, Ricciardo is 6.8 ahead. He's served his penalty. His first time done hard was... he's going to be in the 26 maybe.

Okay, Nico, so Kevin's boxed. He's on the hard now. So, all these guys ahead, they're trying to go to the end on the hard. He's sort of a few, five laps later than you.

Sliding looks good and this pace is good. Gasly, who's on five lap, new or hard, he's doing 25.2.

Zhou just boxed. He'll be behind. He just boxed on the hard.

Yeah, Zhou, five behind on the hard.

Front left is taking a bit of a hit, so tell Kevin to be careful.

Copy that. We'll pass on the message. Ricardo 5 ahead. He has another penalty because they didn't do it right, so he has another penalty coming.

Brake balance 1% rearward. Williams-Colopinto boxing may be close on exit.

Calipinto close.

Nico, with this tyre deg, it looks like we can go to the end. The temps have peaked, so hopefully some grip will return.

You are very quiet on the straights, but I don't know, I think it's going to be a long way to the end. Not sure.

Basically, I don't think so. Understood, Nico. Stroll racing at the exit. Stroll now.

Stroll started hard and he's pitted onto a hard, so he's on a two-stop. Stroll's on a two-stop.

Runway left is opening aboard form. Copy that.

We see the front left graining. We also see some rear left on data. We thought brake balance 1% rearward, but I see you went forward.

Traction is not too bad. We're not losing too much there.

I think for another hard we'd put on like 0.4 or 0.5 then to help that front.

It's not that straightforward. Turn 9, 10 and 11 are quite limited. Entry 11 especially.

But yeah, I guess we need to do something to protect it. Understood, Nico. We'll put 0.3.

Let's not pit early now anytime soon. Anyway, we're in front, so just sit it out and hope for something. Copy that, Nico.

Try right toggle turn 8 for stability.

I think it's got to be more, like plus 0.5 or something. Air balance. Not 0.3, it's too little.

Copy that, Nico.

Safety car window is open.

What lap times is Kevin doing? Last lap 25.5 and the guys are looking at cross cars. 25.5.

Okay, Nico, so Kevin did 25.2 just for info. He's on less brake shape, less EB, and the diff more closed on entry with a little more open mid.

So, Nico, we could go now, because we'll be in a good position relative to where the leaders are.

Yeah, we're just, I don't know, not going anywhere. Well, I was not going anywhere, I guess.

I would wait a bit more. Copy that.

In front, everyone is still on a plan A.

Checking. We think it's a mixture.

Stroll is not colopinto, yes.

And also we think this Sauber, like Bottas, they're probably gonna two-stop.

Who is that group in front? Bottas, Gasly, Stroll, Pinto.

So they're 10 ahead. Bottas hasn't stopped yet, so he's stopping again. Gasly and Stroll are stopping again. They're 10 ahead.

Try holding left toggle through turn 7.

That plus 10 we get at the end or we have to serve at the stop? We will serve it at the stop.

So I think if you have anything left in the tyre you can use it now.

Ocon just boxed. He started the race on a hard, so he's gone on to a medium. He'll be 5 behind. I think he'll try to take the medium to the end.

OK, Nico, we'll box now. Nico, box now. Why? Why?

Race total time and we won't get to the end on this one. This is the fastest race.

Reminder, there's a 10 second penalty, so don't go up on the revs.

Gate mode F1, Nico. This tyre will be fine to the end. It doesn't need a gentle introduction. Verstappen 2.5, Norris 5. They'll be blues. They're doing like 23.

Mode F1.

Let me try to push a bit. Copy that.

Blue flag Verstappen and then Norris is 1.2 behind Verstappen.

Those were good laps, Nico. Norris is on a five-lap old hard. He should be quicker than Verstappen.

And Verstappen needs to pit again.

Where is Albon? Which position is the racing pole?

Albon's racing for P10. Kevin has a penalty that he has to serve, so Albon will be in P10 after pitstops, I think.

Lewis behind.

Alonso will be P9.

So Alonso stopped already, so he's on his second hard, so Alonso and Albon will be close at the end.

13 laps to go. Next blue is Hamilton, 11 behind, doing 23.0 on new hard.

Bottas, 11 ahead. He's on a one-stop. He's on a medium. He's doing 25.5, so you will be close to him at the end.

Then Zhou will probably pit again and he'll come out behind us, five behind roughly.

Bottas 25.1 and now he's having blues.

It's quite a lot of bouncing into turn 11. It's pretty disturbing.

Copy that Nico, we see it. Yep, let's see if we can think of anything.

Bottas, 26.3. We may have some damage because we see elevated bouncing everywhere, so that may be the cause.

The safety car window is closed. We'll just monitor what's happening at that time and decide.

Somebody hit a second Zoe behind Albon.

We are minus 50, minus 5-0. It'll be minus 30 by the end of the race because you are much quicker.

Hamilton for a blue will be 7 behind. He'll be a blue 7 behind doing 22.5.

Press oil pump button. Albon doing it 25-0.

Bottas doing 24.8, Zhou ahead of him is doing 27.

Yes, who's pitting from these two? Are they going to the end? Joe might pit or they just might let Bottas, Pastin Bottas, go into the end.

We're not totally sure because they're both one-stop.

Hamilton 2.2 behind. He'll be a blue in a lap or two.

Blue flag Hamilton. Blue flag Hamilton.

Three laps to go, Nico. Gap is 3.4. He did a 24.0.

2 to go.

Starting last lap, Nico.

Checkered flag, Nico. Checkered flag. Press in button.

Is Kevin P9, is that legit or not? Checking, sorry, he's just finishing now. Leclerc won the race, just for info.

So Kevin got P10. He was just inside on his penalty. So Albon P9, Kevin P10, Alonso P11, Ocon's 14th or something.

Good job on their side. Our race was kind of over on lap 1, I guess. Coolipinto, Riccardo, Ocon, Gasly, Bottas, you, Zhou, Stroll and Tsunoda retired.
