OK, radio check Nico. Stroll in turn 1 now, starting first push. Stroll. And then after him is Ricciardo, 10 behind.

Radio is good. Loud and clear. Ricciardo 8 behind, Albon and Tsunoda 18 behind.

Ricciardo 4 behind mode K2. And GX3. Ricciardo 2.5 pushing.

Okay, Ricardo still 1.5. After him, Tsunoda 11.

Tsunoda 8 behind Piastri 12. There's no back-off traffic ahead.

Tsunoda, 6.

Okay, mode push, mode push. Tsunoda is still 6th behind.

Push again or back off, your choice. Colopinto ahead, probably starting a push.

First pushing Tsunoda, three behind, four behind.

Okay, Tsunoda is also on a back off, so you're okay behind for now.

Next push in Gasly, 12 behind.

Next bushing is Piastri, 16 behind, two cars ahead on back-off, Ricciardo 8 ahead, Stroll 11 ahead.

We can go SOC 1, SOC 1, Piastri, 12 behind.

Okay, Piastri 7 behind. He's the only pushing car. Gap ahead is 9. Piastri 5, Piastri 4, 3, 2, 1. Still 1.5. After Piastri you're in sync and big gap ahead.

OK, remember, charge off, mode push.

Hamilton, three behind, starting a push.

Hamilton 1.5 and then Gasly 4.

Gasly probably backed off, so Gasly OK behind.

OK, that lap was... So Gasly 3 behind. I'm not sure what he's doing. Just watch for him. I think he's on a back off. Currently lap time is P4, so it was a good lap. Turn 3, braking was the only delta to anyone.

First pushing Piastri 10 behind.

Piastri 8. Piastri 6.

Piastri 4.5. After him, no one else pushing. Piastri 3. Piastri 2. 1.

Okay, so okay behind, you have Stroll is 12 ahead and then Gasly-Ricardo are like 6 ahead on back-off laps.

Still OK behind. Gap to Ricciardo is 7. Gap to Gasly 11. And Stroll is clear now.

Big gap behind. Red flag, red flag. So a box now, Nico. Not sure what the red is for.

OK, press in button.

Okay, box now, Nico, box now. When you stop in the box, can you do a static bite point learn, please?

100 short on the marks.

OK, 10 seconds, Nico. Mike, do you agree with the brake balance forward?

I came down already to P6 and also reduced the EB. I reduced one step. Okay, so three cars ahead all on outlap. We'll do one timed and then come back in.

So Sainz 7 ahead, Leclerc 10, Ocon 13. Three cars ahead.

OK, so Ocon's going. Leclerc is in 16. He's 7 ahead and then Sainz 3 ahead. Looks like Leclerc is going. Sainz has a 6 second gap, so he should go.

Sainz is 4.

Signs 5.

OK, charge off. Mode push. Mode push.

Press in button. Leclerc 4 behind. Starting a push.

And then CSL 6, 6th gear between 2 and 3. Leclerc 2.5 pushing.

Leclerc 1.5, Sainz 10.

Signs 7, Gasly 11.

Sainz 5, Gasly 10.

Sainz 3, 2, 1. After him Gasly 6, Russell 11.

Gasly, 5.

Gasly, 4.

Gasly, still 5. We'll do CSL 7 on the pit straight before you box. That's CSL 7, 7th gear, 240. Gasly, 5 behind.

So, Gasly, 6 behind pushing, CSL 7, 7th gear, and then box.

Box now. Gasly 4 behind.

Good on the marks.

30 seconds 3-0. You want to do a start or abandon it?

If I do this now, I'll probably get a lot of traffic. Yeah. Okay, if you can't do it, it's good for us, but it's up to you. So it should be almost green now, yeah, green.

Just confirmed, you changed it to P7.

You can go to K2, yep, and then Perez is directly behind outlap.

OK, Ricciardo ahead and then 8 seconds ahead of him are two cars and then 14 seconds ahead is another car. So four cars ahead basically.

Okay, there's three cars going into 12 and then Ricardo, six behind them, and then you're behind Ricardo.

Those cars ahead are spacing out. They're all six seconds apart. Gap to Ricciardo is six.

Gap to R7. He has a five-second gap ahead to Albon.

Albon's in the last corner and he's going. Stroll went off at 1. He's coming back on track. Should be OK. All clear. OK, you have a good gap. All good. Gap to Ricciardo is 7 and Ricciardo's going.

Mode push, mode push.

DRS is not working.

DRS OK. Yeah, copy. Checking.

Okay, charge on. Bearman 8 behind in sync. Okay, so yeah, we see some kind of issue on the DRS. So what you see that it's not opening, is that right? Yeah, it's not opening. Actually, on the second straight, it opened, but then I accidentally closed it again, but it wouldn't reopen anymore. Okay, right. So some kind of sticking issue. Okay.

Everyone's in sync behind.

So Nico, I think we should box in this lap and try and get this resolved. Yeah.

Stay with the flow, just do the run without DRS. Okay, understood.

First pushing car, Zhou. Ten behind.

Otherwise you're in sync with the cars ahead. So it's Riccardo Albon close together. There's seven ahead. Zhou, seven behind pushing Verstappen. Fourteen. Zhou, six pushing.

Joe 3.

Zhou 2. Zhou 1. OK, next is Verstappen 8.

Only losses are braking 3, 5 and 7. Only brakes a little later. Verstappen 3 behind finishing a push. Verstappen 2. Watch for Verstappen 1.

Okay, so you have a good gap ahead.

Remember, charge off mode push.

There's a yellow, double yellow in turn 4. Red flag, red flag. So box now, Nico. Get plus positive on delta time.

Stay right through turn 4. Stay right.

Press in button.

Again, after two DRS works, but not on the main straight. Copy that.

So you'll be behind the second Alfa Tauri, which is like three cars back, four cars back.

So you just have to find a gap without impeding, Nico, which may not be possible, but whatever.

Mode push. Mode push. There's possibly four cars that are still low fuel. Nine and a half minutes remaining. We'll get around five times.

Copy. DRS didn't work on this straight now. Just FYI. Copy that.

Four more timed. Lifting coast 1-3-15, please.

Watch wheels slip. 3, 4, 7, 15.

I don't think I have rear graining because rear is completely deteriorating. Copy.

Okay, we'll do mode F1 now and spark three before start finish.

Yeah, I see you're braking on the rear tyres. Yes, confirmed.

I'm backing out here because it doesn't feel safe. Okay, Hamilton low fuel behind. Yeah, he's backed out. But let's maybe box for the tyres because start with these, forget it. I understand. We don't have time to box. There's only a minute remaining. Minute and a half.

But yeah, it's lovely. So box or do the start on the shitty tyres? Can we do a pitstop or not? Outside?

Don't bother, just drive. Keep going. Just 30 seconds to the checker.

I should have smoothed out. Fuck's sake.

Verstappen 3 behind. He's on a push. Watch for Verstappen. Tsunoda after him is sustained running. Verstappen, Tsunoda pushing. Alonso, Hamilton are after him. Don't know what they're doing. Here's Verstappen. Tsunoda 2. And then Alonso 4.

Alonso 3, Hamilton 6.

Alonso behind. I don't know what he's doing. He's too behind.

Okay, everyone's coming around to the checkered, no one pushing behind.

Checkered flag going around for the start.

Okay, Nico, mode slow. We're doing the start on the right-hand side. One burnout just to keep the tyres in and mode RS.

Okay, gap to Olli is 20 seconds, which is fine, so we'll both do a pit stop.

Gap is still 19 ahead.

Gap is 20.

Box now, Nico. Box now. Practice pitstop.
