Radio check, Fernando, radio check. Cool, Dex, you can go ahead. Radio check, Fernando. Yeah, it's good for both of us.

Radio check, radio check. Yeah, all good Fernando, all good.

Hi, Fernando from Decks. Happy to be shape 2.

Copy. Shape 2.

Okay, Fernando, so Albon is a hard, P9 behind you. Everyone ahead is medium. And the next hard starter is Ricciardo, P14. So, Lance in P13, forwards, everyone's medium except for Albon on a hard. And then you've got Ricciardo, Norris hard, Zhou, Gasly hard, and Ocon on the back hard.

So, when Mikey gives you the signal, you can do 1.5 from front.

So you can make a bit of space and then lean on tyres out of one, bit of weaving. Start was on target, on target.

No transcript available

B-Bal offset plus one.

It's a good weaving down here and a 100m lift before 3, followed by a good brake.

A bit more weaving down to 4, but be careful with the tailwind into 4.

And a small lift into 5.

A bit more weaving and then another small 50m lift followed by a good brake into 7.

You can make a bit of space in 8, 9, 10 if you need it, and then fast out of 12 with weaving all the way down to 15.

Just had a small 50m lift followed by a good brake into 15.

You can make a little bit of gap before 16 and then high-speed weaving all the way down the back straight.

Track is all clear if you saw that yellow.

Good weaving down here. Stay on the racing line once you get to where the pit entry is.

It will be three short, crisp burnouts. Use the K0 button before you start.

Just be careful with your grip position as you pull up.

It's a three-shot on Chris Bennett. He's a K-0, but we start.

Careful at the grid box position and it will be run to its race, one by point five.

Back to neutral. Select first.

That last car is on the grid now and I'm watching.

Minus 12. Minus 12.

Strat 7 is free.

DRS enabled.

I can consider diff mid 6. Diff mid 6 for the whole lap.

Just check level. Check level.

Yeah, all good here. Let's see the plus four. Yeah, copy, Fernando. Great, copy.

So just for info, we've got Lance on the hard already now, so we've got good data from that.

Exit turn 20. Keep a little bit more to the right. Exit turn 20. Keep a little bit more to the right. There's a big bump there. And a bit more to the middle of the track will reduce the bump. It's between turn 20 and slippery climb 1.

The car up into has got DRS now.

Just let me know aerobalance. Just let me know aerobalance.

Yeah, I think it's OK.

HPP on. HPP on. And we are looking at plan B. Looking at plan B at the moment.

I have seen the level update. All understood.

Carlo Pinto has boxed. Carlo Pinto has boxed. I think it's shape 11. Shape 11.

Box this lap, Fernando, box this lap.

Box, box. Reset brake balance. Two or three clicks.

Tire green dry out.

Can we all be racing colour pink to exit?

Okay, so looking after these tyres now, looking after these tyres.

So, Fernando, on the first set, the fronts were looking good, so you can use the fronts to protect the rears. And management in this phase will help later, as you know. You're doing a good job.

Ahead of Russell is Gasly and Ricciardo on the hards from the start of the race.

Consider one-click rear brake balance while you're fighting.

And you're good for a light press. Light energy press.

The car ahead is Russell, Sainz, Stratidis, that's Gasly, DRS behind me.

Colopinto is 2.8 behind the moment. 2.8.

So, for info, Albon still on his hard tyres from the first stint, doing low 49s.

If Albon did pit, he'd come out about three seconds behind us at the moment.

Yeah. Plan B. Same stuff.

Obviously, I don't know my pace. I have no reference anywhere. If you update me, we land somewhere else.

So it's out of the midfield. It's only Hulkenberg who's maybe a tenth quicker. He did pit five laps later than us.

We think the aerobounce has shifted forward a little bit. We think the aerobounce has shifted forward a bit. So consider looking after your ears with Torque 12.

I think probably one kick forward brake balance will also be OK.

If we were to stop again, would you take less air abounce?

Yes. Yeah, 0.3, 0.4. Copy that, copy.

Fernando, just some more info. Hulkenberg behind Colopinto is very quick at the moment. He's four tenths quicker last lap than you.

HPP ban off. HPP ban off.

Last lap was the same as Hulkenberg.

Obviously, plan A or plan B, it will help to know.

It's a plan B, Fernando, plan B, and we think everybody is on that.

HPP off. HPP off. You just knocked it in turn 8. So you already did turn it off but you put it back on in 8.

My mistake, turn 4. Yeah, no worries. It was a 22 kph tailwind, Gus, in 4 of that lap.

So Lance did 21 laps on his first Inter Hard. We've checked his tyres and they were quite good, Fernando, they were quite good.

Albon has just pitted this lap. Albon has just pitted.

He'll come out about five seconds behind. Six seconds now.

Colour printed does have DRS.

So the cars that started on the hard have started to get a bit faster now. That's Ricciardo and Norris are still on their first hard and they're going a bit quicker.

Yeah, which place are we and how many laps to the end?

So we are P8, position 8, and there'll be 16 to go at the end of this one. 16.

You can see obviously behind Colopinto there are four cars quite quick. Hulkenberg's putting pressure on Colopinto now.

Hulkenberg 1.1 behind. Four laps newer hearts.

14 laps to go. 14. Albon a car behind.

All our tyre data is looking good. Tyre data is looking good. Ricardo is still OK on his hards from the start.

12 more laps. 12 more laps. And HPP on. HPP on.

The last two laps, Albon's matched your pace.

So ten laps to go. Ten same lap times as Albon.

Eight more laps, eight more laps. Albon's pushing on now.

And HPP off. HPP off. Seven more laps. Seven.

Five more laps. Five.

Four more laps. Four more laps.

Three more laps. Three more laps.

So, we will be staying out. Keep to the right. Keep to the right. There's a shunt exit at turn 2, so you're okay.

So exit turn 2, just keep to the right. Sainz and Perez are in the wall on the left. It'll be double yellows.

It's a keep to the right here and it is double yellows.

Safety car, safety car, it's quite understeer. Yeah, understood.

Yeah, understood. There's loads of debris everywhere. We're watching tyre pressures very carefully. All okay so far.

Virtual safety car, slow down. Virtual safety car, slow down. Get your delta positive. And then just keep your tyre temps.

At the end of this lap there will be one more.

Currently we're P6. We will be staying out.

Stay out.

So you can go to run switch safety car. Run switch safety car. And we expect the right BSC to last till the end. But just keep a little bit of temperature to start just in case.

This is the last lap? Yeah, confirm. This is the last lap. Confirm.

Just careful through that debris. I'm not sure the best route.

Piastri has taken the chequered flag and won. He's doing a good job. Yeah, for 10 seconds delta, is it okay? Seems very fast.

Let's go to Strat 5 just in case they restart it, but I don't expect Strat 5.

Just be careful of your delta, that's good.

And that is P6 and 8. Well done. That was a hell of a drive. Run switch and warm up, please. Run switch and warm up.

Once you're through all this debris, Fernando, we'll take lots of pick-up.

Are the drivers okay? Both drivers got out themselves, yeah.

So take lots of picks up for now. And I've got one more which is MFB blue override position 12. MFB blue override position 12.

Can we just have one second of full throttle at some point? The engine's getting a bit cold.
