Ready to check.

Loud and clearly.

Copy, radio check. Yeah, good for me too. Stefano, Aero commented that in 2 and through turn 4 there's a much stronger tailwind than there has been, which you obviously are aware of. Yeah. Yeah, definitely. What was the step we made now, aerobalance-wise? So I just took off another 0.1, just because with the higher track temperatures, it's going to build more rearwards, losing rear. And Nico has taken another 0.5% off, even though he was already nominally lower than us. So I just felt we should take a little bit out. It's a sort of confidence adjustment for me more than anything else. 0.1 is how much of a percent? 0.1 of a percent, so it's tiny. Whereas Nico took off 0.5% more. But I think it's very different the way he drives the car. So I'm conscious that we don't want to take too much out, because that will affect your braking and your entries in a negative way. So if you're happy with that, or are you thinking that you'd actually like to take a little bit more than that out? We could do another step maybe for this medium. It's not going to be a really long stint. I'd rather be front limited than rear. You'd rather be front limited than rear. So we should take a little bit more out. Sorry, someone else was speaking as you spoke. Yeah, if anything, another tiny step. Okay. Again, for confidence. Copy.

Wrong channel. We did another half a turn which is 0.1%. So we've now reduced the front wing by 0.2% compared to the last lap that you did.

It actually puts us at 46.6, the same balance that you had for your heavy fuel run in P2, but with the track temperature that's 10 degrees hotter now. Yeah, OK. I'm happy with that. Yeah, the track grip should cover that. See how it goes. As you say, it's a relatively short stint, so let us know towards the end of this first stint what you think, and we can adjust the car as we see fit.

The other thing to bear in mind is that the track temperature should reduce through the race and the track grip will come up. So, if anything, it should naturally get better through the race anyway.

So one thing that's different about being on the grid ollie is that we put the limiter on after we've fired the engine up. So if the engine wants to be fired up, then I'll ask you to put the limiter on.

OK, all the information, all cars on grid are on mediums, apart from Albon directly ahead of us, who is on new hard, and then towards the back we've got Ricciardo, Norris and Zhou on hard.

Thirteen seconds to the green light.

Shall I put the limiter on? Limiter on, please, yes.

Stabilised on that.

Touch drop still too deep, Oli.

We need you to reduce the clutch drop by about 10%, Oli. So 10% less drop.

Copy.

So we're looking at four burnouts only. Four burnouts.

Mode RS for the start.

The last car is on the grid.

Mode F1.

Stroll 1.3 behind, fighting with Tsunoda.

Stroll behind has a puncture. Remember you're lifting coast.

Stroll 4.8 behind with a puncture.

So 1.9 gap behind.

DRS is enabled. Track surface warning for turn 4. Tsunoda 3.9 seconds behind. Track is clear. Track is clear.

Tsunoda 4.6 behind. Just watch out for your very final part of throttle application at 1 and 3, Olli.

And confirmation that you are P10. Car behind is Norris, 4.5 seconds behind.

Still a little bit aggressive. Final throttle application at turn 3. Turn 1 is good.

Norris 4.4 behind. Nico behind him.

Copy.

Just starting to drop out of the Albon DRS window.

So you'll have no DRS. Albon 1.2 ahead, Norris 4 seconds behind.

Watch your throttle application, 15 and 16.

Albon 1.9 ahead, Norris 2.7 behind. That was the turn 12 exit.

Both safety car windows are open, so we would box.

Albon 3.1 ahead, Norris 1.3 behind.

Norris, with DRS right behind you.

OK, Oli, so you're tending to carry too much speed through 11, entering 12 too quick, which gives you a bad exit from 12.

Car behind is Nico. One second.

Olli, we need to swap positions with Nico on the start-finish straight. We need to let Nico through on the start-finish straight. Ricciardo 1.1 seconds behind.

Can I have one more lap? Take your time.

Well, that's not really bad. I pulled away from him this lap. Pace has been poor on me. Strategy is hurting.

Okay, please use the rear tyres more. Please use the rear tyres more. Ricciardo 0.8 behind.

Yeah, I mean, tell me that before you make me lose the position. I know, I know. Sorry, problem's back here.

How are the tyres, Ollie? How are the tyres?

OK, front right is starting to get a little bit tired. Copy, Ricciardo does not have DRS. Correction, Ricciardo just has DRS.

And use the rays more in 4, 15 and 16.

Ricciardo 1.6 behind. Nico 2.9 ahead. You are P10 because of car stopping.

Suggest P7 to try to reduce understeer, Ollie.

Ricciardo 2.1 seconds behind. He's got Verstappen right behind him after Verstappen boxed. Russell has also boxed, as has Alonso.

Mode T4, Ollie. Mode T4 for extra performance.

Car behind is Verstappen. Lose no time with him.

Box, Oli, box, please confirm. Box, box, box. Copy.

You'll be one second ahead of Stroll as you come out of the pit exit.

Watch your stopping position. Mode RS for the start.

Stroll is behind 1.3 seconds. Mode push, please. Mode push.

Stroll is on 13 lap hards, so much older tyres than you.

Ocon and Zhou ahead are on 14 lap hards.

Oli, please look after the front right, please. Look after the front right.

Car behind is Hamilton. He's just pitted. Ocon has not pitted yet. Zhou ahead of him has not pitted yet.

There are two other cars ahead of you who have not pitted yet.

So you're currently E15 with three cars ahead of you still to stop.

We are racing Hamilton directly. His pace may not be much better than ours.

OK, to put a right front harder.

Car behind is Hamilton.

Nico 3.1 ahead. His last lap 49.1.

Try the default Bravo 5-7-0.

Just keep me up to date on slips. Will do. You're doing a great job at the moment, Oli.

Nico 2.8 ahead, Hamilton one second behind, just in DRS zone.

Hamilton, point nine with DRS.

Hamilton, point 8.

Hamilton, point six with DRS.

Yeah, I did a mistake. Last lap. Copy. Turn 7.

Car ahead Ricciardo on very old tyres.

Okay, we do not need lift and coast. We do not need lift and coast.

Hamilton 1.3 behind.

OK. OK, I'll invite you to go back to doing lift and coast, please. Go back to doing lift and coast.

Nico 4.8 ahead. Hamilton will shortly pass Ricciardo. He's 2.4 behind.

You are P13 with one car ahead of you still to stop.

Nico's last lap was a 48.9.

Hamilton 2.4 behind, Nico 4.5 ahead.

28 laps to go, including this one. You were three tenths quicker than Nico last lap.

P10 Colopinto is 11 seconds ahead. He's doing 49.0.

Hamilton 2.7 behind.

Colin Pinto's tyres are four laps older than ours. There may be cars ahead of us doing two stops.

Goliath, turn 12. The last part of throttle you can go on a little bit harder.

Car ahead is Gasly on 25 lap hards. Hamilton 2.8 behind.

Gasly 2.8 ahead, Hamilton 2.5 behind.

Same lap time as Nico. Colorado Pinto is 0.8 slower.

Gasly 1.7 ahead, Hamilton 2.2 behind.

All Hamilton's games are on straight line on the last lap and on this lap.

No more lift and coast required.

You should have DRS, Hamilton 1.8 behind.

Hamilton, point nine with DRS.

Excellent work, Oli. Collar pinto ahead of Nico, really struggling with tyres.

Car behind is Hamilton. One second.

Gap to Hamilton 1.6. Great job.

Hamilton at 1.5. Nico 4.4 ahead.

Two tenths quicker than Nico. Last lap. Great job, Oli.

Twenty laps to go for this one. Colobuto five and a half seconds ahead. In P10, Alonso in P9, seven seconds ahead.

What's happening ahead? Albon just pitted for the second time. He's just behind Nico on fresh medium.

Correction, that was Albon's first pitstop, but he was ahead of us by too much.

Hamilton 1.7 behind, Albon 1.6 ahead.

One second quicker than Alonso and Colopinto in 8th and 9th.

For improved stability at turn 16, suggest right-hand toggle.

Hamilton, point nine behind.

Hamilton, point seven with DRS.

Hamilton 1.2 behind. Please press the oil pump button. Albon 2.2 ahead.

Hamilton 0.9 behind, Albon 1.2 ahead.

Yeah, just a bit stuck here. It's a bit annoying because I was too slow at the start of the race.

Doing a fabulous job. The Williams are struggling, so there's two places ahead that you might be able to get. And Alonso.

Hamilton, 0.6 behind with DRS.

Very slow, I just need to time it well. Copy.

Hamilton, point seven.

Focus on exit 16, Oliver.

Hamilton, point five.

Ah, it's so much quicker. I'll get it.

You need to compromise entries 3 and 4 to stay closer to Col de Pateau.

Tra-la-la. Tra-la-la.

Keep that bit early. Keep that bit early. Be strong. Keep that bit early. Be strong.

Hamilton, point six with DRS.

Come on, Ollie. Head up. Let's finish this race. Gasly 2.3 behind. He's been doing 48.5s.

Gasly hasn't stopped yet, though. Gasly still hasn't stopped.

Hamilton two seconds ahead, Gasly 1.8 behind.

Suggest EB5 for understeer. If there is, I'll take it.

One second quicker than Gasly. Last lap.

Once, two tenths slower than Nico.

Gasly 3.6 behind, Hamilton 2.6 ahead. Eight laps to go at the end of this one.

Six tenths quicker than Nico this lap. Last lap.

You know, no, the pace is not bad. I just have to get used to it.

Suggest EB6 for understeer if the rear will take it.

You took 8 tenths out of Hamilton that lap. Half a second quicker than Nico. Good job.

Hamilton, one point. You are P13. P13. Colopinto's fronts have cleaned up so his lap times have improved significantly.

Yeah, that's my chance.

Just keep on it. You never know what's going to happen. Six laps to go, including this one.

Five laps to go. Hamilton 1.5 ahead.

You tried to use the radio there, Oli, I didn't hear you.

OK, I think Nico's got a problem.

The pit has just gone past. Hamilton will do shortly.

There's lots of potential for trouble up ahead of you, so just stay on it.

That's it, we've got two cars in the wall at the front.

Double the upturn 2 to 3. We're staying out. Keep pushing, keep pushing, except in the yellow region.

That's double yellow between 2 and 3. Yellow at 2.

You're going to be P11 and you're racing the three cars ahead of you.

Double yellow. Stay right. Stay right. Hard right to avoid debris. Hard right to avoid debris.

VSC, VSC, VSC, URP10, URP10. At the end of this lap there is only one more lap. Mode slow, mode slow.

You're past 5 on the belt, Oli. You should be close to zero.

OK, OLE, you're coming up to start the last timed lap.

Medical car on track between 2 and 3. Stay hard right.

Still double yellow turn 2-3.

The incident was between Perez and Sainz.

So, hard right. Be very careful.

Reminder, you're under VSC outside the double yellow zone.

OK, Oli, the leader has taken the chequered flag under BSC. I expect the race to finish under BSC.

OK, Olli, that's the chequered flag. P10. You scored a point, mate. Well done. Not the way we'd want to do it, really, but we'll take it nonetheless. Good job.

I don't have any news on the cars, I'm afraid.

Mode in, please, Olli. Mode in.

Olli, just for info, Piastri won the race from Leclerc, Russell third, Norris fourth, Verstappen fifth, Alonso sixth, Albon seventh, Colopinto eighth, Hamilton ninth and yourself tenth. Obviously Nico right behind you.

I'm not sure what the problem was with Nico's car.

Yeah, we seem to have had a radio failure, Oli. We can see that you're trying to talk back but we're not hearing anything.

Good job, Oli. Scoring points. There was a mess on the communication from our side, so we take it on ourselves to improve on that one. Nonetheless, well done. Good job. One point. That's what the team needed, so nice job.

Okay then, Ollie. When you pull up, go from P2 to P1, and then a pause, and then P0, please. Good job today, and we'll see you back in the office and chat about it afterwards. Alright? Well done, mate.
