OK, radio check anyway.

Yeah. Radio check, OK. Copy, that's fine. Clear. So, soon you will have the 6 minute fire up. When this is... You can... You're clear, stop.

It's cutting. I cut here.

Just some feedback. You may have to fire up the car.

Just turn back. No stress on 6 minutes.

No clutch drop, please, no clutch drop. OK, so that's a six-minute fire-up. Once it's fire-up, you can do your clutch drop again. I'm going for a quick chat outside, but I'm just going to reiterate, 51 laps. Parkour can be very crazy. It's never the end. So whatever happens to you, if you lose position at the start, if you gain position, remember we need to stay focused and everything can happen. If you have a quick car, you're driving well. We talked a lot about what to do for the tyre management. If you apply everything, it's going to be a payday today, OK? So just focus on everything you've learned and you're going to be doing great. Yeah, copied. Yeah.

Already checked from the engine island.

Radio check.

OK, that's iron clear. Assuming you're 30.

Last three minutes.

Okay, I'll give you start tyres.

So, on the top 13, only Alex on hard. From P14 to P20, there's a mix of medium and hard. So the first hard starter, apart from Alex Biannou, are Ricciardo, Norris, Hamilton choose to start on medium.

And that's two minutes.

Do I need to use the burnout button for the burnouts? FM.

Okay, last 90 seconds. Should be the last power up. Once power up, pit limiter on and confirm, please.

Yeah, confirm. Copy.

OK, 70 seconds. Remember from engine lap, manage your gap well. Try to use every straight line we have to generate rear tyre temperature. Last one minute.

At 40 seconds.

And deep breath. 51 laps. It's going to be intense. Clear comes to me. Focus on that tyre management. It's going to pay the price. It's going to feel too much. It's going to feel slow. And it's going to pay the price. Focus on that, mate. Have a good race. Enjoy.

Yeah, thank you mate.

4, 3, 2, 1.

Okay, drop was just a tip, just a touch tip.

I should be go forward.

I can feel you backing up exit of 16 where you will focus on Puccoli.

We're good on Q10. Three burnouts, three burnouts. Remember, you're left-hand side on the grid.

I remember it will be a long stop on the grid.

Last car on the grid.

Go race, go race. You're good.

Alonso at point 7. Alex behind point 8.

You're P8. I'll start the game with all your tyres.

DRS enabled.

And potential debris turn 4. Turn 4, watch out.

Fuck yeah! Fuck yeah!

Okay, you're closing lap 2.49 to go. We'd like to target Lyco level 3, currently doing level 1. Alonso 1 ahead, Alex 1 behind.

Green 10, position 7.

About to hit light cold level 3. You are level 2. Last lap.

Gap ahead 1.4, beyond 1.2.

B-B plus one five.

Can we go mode 5, please? Mode 5.

Can I have grid 7?

Green 7, position 7, please. Green 7, position 7, Alonso 1.4 ahead, Alex 1.5 behind.

That's a good job on tyre management. Keep doing what you're doing.

I can have an anti-overtake into turn 7, please. Early into turn 7.

Airtime management good. Alonso 1.4 ahead. Alex 1.2 behind. Losing lap 5. 46 to go.

Okay, both DSC and SETCA window are open. Both open.

Okay, Alonso, ahead 1.2, behind 1.1.

Let me know when you want me to put him under pressure. I have 4 points. Copy.

Okay, you have the quick-flick stabilizer left-hand side if you want.

And can I go mode 6, mode 6, please?

Okay, Franco, we're looking at plan A plus two plus three, so focus on tyre management. You're doing great.

Okay, time management is good. Can I have feedback on flap please?

We need to go up for the cars.

I'll be happy to push a bit harder in a few tenths.

I guess I'll be happy to keep doing what we're doing right now. Turn 8, laps 43 to go.

Let's try to see if we can close to Alonso.

That's a good sector 2. We lost some time sector 1. Maybe some small mistakes. Let's try to tidy up on that lap. You're doing good. Closing lap 9.42 to go. Alonso 1.5 ahead.

Reset paddle switch, please. Reset paddle switch.

Nice. Box, box, box, box. Watch out, white lamp at limiter.

Okay, lifestop is in box. All the brakes, watch the light.

Outlap critical, outlap critical. Mode 5, mode 5. I would like to give this tyre a gentle burst. And show that 5 behind.

And quick flick off, late overtaking to turn 3, Tsunoda 4 behind, you're clear.

Push the outlap, then we nurse.

Happy to take off the tyre.

And mode 13 please, mode 13. You may have to race along the exit.

Okay, Alonso is clear. Go ahead, let's try to avoid anti-insect too.

Let's try to do some anti in 2 turns. 3, 5 and 7. 3, 5 and 7. I'll let you know how it is.

Mate, did we go up on the flap? I'm still struggling with the front. Yeah, it's a long stint, a long stint. We left you with the tools and we did.

Remember, you may have a bit of a warm-up.

Targeting level 2 Lyko. Manage your rear slip. If you can take B-B forward, we'll take it.

Repeat B-B-4.

If you can take B-B forward, forward, we would take it.

Why can't we use the normal mode? I'm forgetting the Santi overtake.

Copy mode 5. So we are following our plan A. We are on lap 38 to go. I think the key bit is to remember we are taking care of our tyres, do everything we discussed about in good position and try to stay with Alonso 2 ahead.

Lap time target 44.0.

I'm happy with the Lyco and slip management. Closing lap 14.37 to go.

Okay, so we are racing Alonso and Alex on the different strategy. You're doing good, stay with Fernando.

Okay, can I have mode 6, mode 6, then blue 11, position 9, please. Blue 11, position 9. Ricciardo and Gasly ahead are yet to pit. We will pay self-advantage on them. Blue 11, position what? Blue 11. 9, 9. Blue 11, P9.

Let's get Ricciardo. We have the pace.

You don't need an overtake to pass him. Don't need an overtake. Just try to have him with DRS.

Can I have B7 to E4, please? B7 to E4. You're going to get Ricciardo with DRS and then we're looking ahead to Alonso-Gasly.

Can I go diff mid 3? Diff mid 3. Watch out the slip management, please.

Mode 10, mode 10.

OK, let's use our pace to catch Gasly. We could be close enough to him next lap, so just use the pace. Don't damage your tyre. Control that slip. Closing lap 17.34 to go.

Okay, I'll keep doing what you're doing, getting closer to him. Gap read 1.0.

Try to push to be close to him. I'll let you know if we have early overtake to make the pass.

Push out on 16, early overtake.

Okay, we can have mode 9, gas 3.7 behind Alonso 2.2 ahead. Let's try to go back into the pace, low 49, racing Alonso.

OK, BM4, EOP10, closing lap 20.31 to go. Ahead of you, Albon yet to pit. You're racing for points. You're doing great. Keeping what you're doing on tyres. Staying close to Alonso ahead, gap 2.

I need more rotation in mid-corner, mate.

Focus on clean laps. We'll come back to clean laps. Pace was good. Just clean laps, no mistake.

And just straight line on some bumps. You leave slightly the throttle, so just pay attention to be pushing all the way on the throttle. Straight line.

Copy. Can I do something without hurting the rear? We're looking.

Okay, can I have blue 7 position 5 to help you? Blue 7 position 5.

And clock 9. Clock 9.

Okay, that's blue 7 position 5 that I need. Please blue 7 position 5.

Okay, mode 10, please mode 10.

Doing great so far. Doing good. Let's keep following Alonso. 28 to go.

My seat is getting so hot.

Remember, you can drink.

Yeah, I think soon I will have no more liquid.

OK, there's no engine on balance.

Still understeer. Still throttling towards 8.

Copy, 27 to go. You're doing good Alonso, just ahead.

Can I have mode 11, please? Mode 11.

I go to Vmax 2.

Copy, Binicio.

You're doing good. Alonso 1.6 ahead.

Am I not doing too much like on the front or like... Come back to you.

Try to like all of L2 and put more pressure on Alonso, please. Like all of L2, pressure on Alonso.

I suggest to use 3rd gear turn 16 and try to put pressure on Alonso and increase the pace.

Okay, Alonso ahead. I've been told to look after his rears. That's 25 to go.

Yeah, but maybe I should protect my urethras as well. I don't want to run out of tyres. We need to try to smash Alonso. He can be critical in five laps. So we need to try now.

Give me one more rotation. Give me two.

It'll be 24 to go. So, revert on what we said. Just manage your tyres. Try to stay with that to Alonso. Basically, monitoring Hulkenberg is four and a half behind you. He's quicker. He will catch. So, we'll have to have Alonso ahead of us to have a decent race. Hulkenberg currently quicker than us on threshold.

OK, that's 23 to go. 23. Still looking good on tyre management.

My front right is fully green. Let's try to focus on turn 2, it's where we lose the most. We're okay sector 2, we're losing sector 1 to Alonso.

What's the piece of Hulkenberg?

Okay, we're doing LACO level 2. We'd like to go down to level 1, please. Level 1, LACO.

Can I have HPP on? HPP on. Focus on turn 16. Exit turn 16. Exit.

OK, 21 to go, 21 to go. If you stay close, Alonso is going to help us. 2.7 behind. His pace is 48.3, 48.3.

Mode 7, please, mode 7.

Sector 1 relative to Alex. It's entry to mid-speed. Turn 2-3. Watch out. Exit slip turn 4. Alex is boxing now.

Try to see if you can push sector 3 and early overtake on Alonso.

OK, mode 6.

Torque 8 if you need rotation. Torque 8.

Okay, that's 18 to go. Situation is you're racing Alonso ahead, Hulkenberg behind, and Alex is with the fresh medium. He's going to try to attack Hulkenberg. Keep doing what we're doing. 18 to go, no mistake.

Mode 5, please mode 5.

I do not use my energy.

Just stay with Alonso.

No mistakes, stay within 1-0, I will protect you from the camber behind.

That's also 1.2 ahead. You can be 1.5 behind. You can be maybe 1.3, just watch out.

And don't use energy. Stop using the overtake like that, please.

Okay, just early overtake, not sustainable currently, so cannot use every lap.

Just focus on exit, no early overtake, late available.

Leclerc, P1 for Pau. You have to defend on him. I'll take him as Alex. Must be efficient with Alex.

Okay, let's be efficient with Alex.

Remember what we discussed. Into turn 3, please. And then follow Alex.

Okay, let's focus on clean driving. Follow Alex.

Early press, early press. Defending on Beerman from far behind.

Okay, you have a late overtake if you need and Berman, point 2 behind followed by Alonso, er, by Hamilton.

And stop all ICO. Stop all ICO.

Blue 7 position 6. Blue 7 position 6. B-B forward plus half Berman point 7 behind.

Just focus on your pace. You have the pace to keep him at bay.

Okay, Berman, P9 behind. We think the tyres are still good, so we just need to go back into our rhythm, our pace. We have the best we can be. 13 to go.

Berman, point 8 behind. Point 8.

Yeah, the issue is my front, mate. It's completely open.

Diff mid 1 to just Diff mid 1.

HPP off. Berman, 0.81, 0.8.

Gear back 1.7, 1.7.

Ground, 1.6.

Okay, happy to push now to keep front temp up. Happy to keep pushing now.

And Berman has lost DRS. 11 to go. You're doing good. Keep pushing on your tyres. Lap time is good. It's coming. Keep pushing.

Yeah, fuck, this road is really much better. I need to get more shake.

Okay, mode 6, first car behind you, Hamilton, mode 6.

Let's try to keep the pace for our next race.

We're racing Hamilton, racing Marmite.

Okay, keep doing clean laps, keep doing clean laps. Sector 1 was much better, just lost a bit sector 2, two tenths on that lap. Hamilton 1.5, 10 to go, 10 to go.

Copy. Let's use all the energy we have into Adam Carey. It's a bit compromised later. Let's try to get from behind.

Okay, let's go. Mode 7. Mode 7. I'll let you know for the early. I'll call them.

Hamilton, 1.3, 1.3.

Hamilton, 1.1. You're good, 1.1. That's a very good lap. Keep doing what you're doing, mate.

Hamilton, 0.6. OK, up to turn 3.

Hamilton, 1.3. You're doing amazing, mate.

Hamilton 1.1

8 to go, 8 to go. That's a stellar job, stellar job mate.

I'm in turn 4 tonight. You're good.

I'm in turn 1.6. That's really good, really good.

I'm in turn 1.7. 7 to go. That's really, really good.

Hamilton, 1.7.

The hard way for points.

ECMSA, 3.5 ahead, P10.

OK, now we're looking ahead. Hulkenberg 2.4, Hamilton 2.2 behind.

Okay, six to go, six to go.

Comeback 3.2, Hamilton 2.4.

You can be a creep on one. You're quick on anchor now. Catching slowly. Five to go.

Okay, just on that fast lap, you've been pushing a bit too hard on your brakes, sliding a bit more. You're losing a bit more lap time. I think you just need to back off a bit. You were quicker before.

Okay, that was better. Hulkenberg, 2.3. He may have touched the wall, he's slow. So that could be P10. He's slow, he's slow. 1.7, 1.6. You're going to have him 1.5, 1.4.

He's weak. We're going to go for him. We're going to go for him. Your best shot if you need to.

Okay, back into what you know to do. Three laps to go. No mistake. Do not touch the walls. It's what happened to Hulkenberg.

You can back on 7.

Comeback turn 8. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out. Stay out

Okay, that's double yellow turn 2 and straight line into turn 3.

Hulkenberg, P5 behind. Double yellow. Watch out for debris. Crash on the left-hand side. So stay right-hand side. I will monitor the tyres. It's green in 2-3. It's 2 to go.

Slow it, slow it.

Hamilton, first gap behind you.

Mate, that needs to be a safety car. Yep, yep, yep, but right now you're racing.

Alex, 1.7 ahead. Hamilton, 1.7 behind. Racing. VSC, go SC, go SC. Focus on keeping front temperature. Keep temperature on your brakes. Keep temperature on your brakes.

Mode 5. Mode 5, please.

Make sure you keep your delta positive, 3 plus 4, you're good.

Let's try to be as close to zero as possible.

Some braking and weaving for the front axle. You're currently P8, P8 and that's low frequency weaving. Low frequency weaving.

I'll keep delta positive, currently plus one doing good.

Okay, I put to stop the weaving. I put to stop the weaving. Weaving the tyre pressure.

Okay, and you're opening your last lap. That would be VSC to the end, VSC to the end. So just make sure you stay right-hand side exit of turn 2 to avoid any debris. Currently P8.

So stay well, right hand side, right hand side.

Because I had a slope, I've been overtaking.

Okay, just keep delta positive, keep delta positive. All the cars are going to stay on this VSC to take the flag.

Okay, I'm still keeping a delta positive. I'm happy with the tyre pressure. I'm going to be taking the flag.

Okay, when I'm taking the flag, remember speed is kept in straight lines, so keep delta positive. Currently plus one. Keep delta positive. Currently plus one. Keep delta positive.

There you go. Plus point six. Keep it positive. Take the flag.

OK, that's second lap. Second lap, P8, P8. So you go in, go in. Pick up rubber, please. Pick up rubber. Oh my god, mate. Oh, this is an amazing result for us. Oh my god. Well done. Well done on keeping Hamilton behind as well. It was tough, but nice job. Nice job when we woke up with those front tyres. It's hard to work with much weather, mate. Lovely job, lovely job. Yeah, that was good. Graduation. Hell of a first weekend. Hell of a last weekend. Monza, Azerbaijan. It was amazing. You've been everything to deserve your position, your seat in Formula 1, to be honest. Amazing past two race weekends. Stellar job throughout this weekend. On the track, you didn't know where the tyres are, not easy, where everybody got caught. And a lot of guys crashed or made mistakes in this low grip, dirty condition. And you did amazing, taking every session, improving. Stellar job on Saturday. Stellar job today. P8, mate. First points in Formula 1. Congrats.

Bravo, bravo. I'm really happy for you. Thank you so much. We did a great job together. It's a nice weekend. Very, very good points for the team. I'm really proud of you guys. Thank you again for fixing the car on Friday. Vamos, Franco. Vamos. Well done. Just really, really proud of you. That's a weekend you executed perfectly, really, from start to finish. You finished just behind Alex on a different strategy. You managed tyres, again, that were in a difficult situation. And you're now a Williams Grand Prix driver with points to your name. That will never change. No one can take that away from you. Well done.

Thank you, James. Thank you so much, mate. I am so, so happy for these points, for giving to the team. A little bit back of what you guys gave me and all the trust. So, yeah, I just... I'm so, so happy. Let's keep going in Singapore. Another nice challenge, but I'm sure we can do a good job there as well. Yeah, we definitely can. When you go into the factory, you're going to see a sign that we put up which has your name on it and points to it. Yeah, well done. Can't wait to see how we move forward together. Yeah, me too. I've seen the sign last week and I was like... I think that was the biggest motivation to win points this weekend. I wanted my name there, not only Alex's one. It's done.

Okay, remember once you're in Parc fermé, I need you to switch fully the car back to P0. Turn part steering wheel back on. Go away to safe first thing. Do not see anyone. Straight away in yourself. Do not drink anything.

Copy that, copy that. So I go to P0, okay? Yes, see you in a bit.
