Oscar, radio check. Yep, radio check. Cool, you're loud and clear. Check the drink.

Yep, drinks are good as well.

The driver's fan stopped again.

OK, Oscar, tyre info. Everyone on medium apart from Ricciardo, Lando, Zhou, Gasly and Ocon, who are starting on hard.

Thank you. Correction, Albon also starting on hard.

30 seconds.

20.

10.

Bye.

Okay, Oscar. Clutch drop was on target. Initial throttle good.

No more full load after turn 12. Big lift into turn 15.

Brake lift into 16th.

So, big lift before the burnouts. After turn 20 it will be bright point find and then white H14 position 1.

And it's two long burnouts.

Last car approaching the grid.

Last car in position.

Blue mode 1. Blue mode 1.

Car behind is now Perez, 0.9.

DRS enabled.

Take care with spikes in rear locking. Turn 2 and turn 5 braking.

Just strat 7. Strat 7.

Turn 7. Take care of phase 2 to 3. Rear locking building through stop. Consider top right.

Gaps are opening up, but we're thinking plan A, target plus two. Plan A, target plus two. Gap to Alonso is now 12 seconds. Alonso in P7.

Oscar, tyre update please.

I'll do what there is.

Asking for direction to previous message. We're plan B, target plus two or target plus three.

Copy.

Oscar, we're in the full safety car window. That's any kind of safety car in the window.

Take care of combining too much in entry, particularly turn 1, generating rear slip by combining too much.

Oscar Verstappen last lap 49.4, Russell 49.7.

Okay, Alonso has now pitted.

Oscar, front wing thinking to come down an extra half for the pitstop. You happy?

Thank you.

It's just low diff 1. Yeah, low diff 1.

Oscar, now looking like a plan A minus three. Plan A target minus three.

Copy. Front tyre is starting to scribble. Offset minus two. Tyre is now 2.4.

Oscar Perez has pitted. He should be behind Lando.

Stroglak, head out.

Strat 6.

Hi, Saske.

Box this lap. Box this lap. Copy, box.

Launch map, launch map, you'll be close with Perez and Lando at exit. Overtake is available, you'll get that from the strat.

Perez 1.2.

Perez point seven, use overtake.

You can see the pack management at turn 3.

Strat 7. Strat 7. So, let's get stint 1. It looks like we damaged the front tyre. Oh, it's damaged the tyres attacking Leclerc at the start. Let's be smart here.

The other car has light front right graining, so you will have to manage three tyres on this set. You will still have to manage front right as well as rear.

Leclerc, 0.8.

Strat 8 available. Strat 8.

0.8. Suggested.

Overtake is good. Flat 0.9.

Late overtake to avoid a big clip.

0.9

0.8

How do I change the downshifts?

Back to the pit and we're out of practice. Copy.

Purple C10, position 3.

0.7. Best tyre save opportunity turn 6. Ignore the dash, just do the tyre saving you need for lift and coast.

0.7

Track slippery, turn 4 possible debris.

Leclerc 0.7, same as last lap.

0.7. Tyre feedback. Struggling a little bit. How does the others look? Similar to you, Oscar. The Leclerc tyre is similar to you.

It's just red mid-pipe.

0.6.

Leclerc's tyres look worse than yours at the rear, slightly better on front.

0.9

If you want more front, go down on silver entry.

0.6

0.7

0.7. Perez starting to struggle with rears now. You and Leclerc are pulling away from him.

0.7. Oscar, we're starting to catch up to backmarkers. You have Zhou eight seconds ahead now.

0.6

0.7

0.7

And Oscar, as I said, you can ignore the dash. Fuel is okay. Just saving you need for tyres.

0.6. Consider silver entry 2.

0.7

There's now four cars ahead. The back one, Zhou, is six and a half seconds. We're starting to pick up more following.

0.9.

1.6. Purple default, 49X. Purple default, 49X.

And so just strat 7, strat 7.

Cars ahead of Bottas, Zhou and Ocon, they'll get blues and it's clear beyond them. And it is four laps including this one.

Oscar, this strat will give you more deploy into turn 15 in the middle of the lap.

Bottas has blue flags.

There's one more blue flag car. That's Zhou. Three seconds ahead. Zhou's pace isn't too bad. 48.0.

Gap to Leclerc is four seconds.

Two laps including this one, Oscar.

Gap to Leclerc is six seconds.

Oscar Perez and Sainz collided. They're stopped between turns 2 and 3 on the left-hand side. Currently it's just double yellows there. Currently just double yellows. There is one lap to go.

The cars are on the left, so be careful of debris. Turn 2 to 3.

Virtual safety car, virtual safety car, delta positive. Recharge on.

So, I think the cars are on the left, Oscar. Keep an eye out for debris. That's the priority here. This is the last lap. Just watch for debris. Keep to the right. Copy.

Oscar, both drivers are out and okay, so just concentrate on no mistakes for this last lap. Delta stays positive. Look after the fuel.

Okay, Oscar, you'll take the jacket flag this time.

Yeah, boy! Lovely. Lovely job, Oscar. Great afternoon. Fantastic. Those cars are still there between 2 and 3, so take care through there again. Look after the fuel. Pick up where you can. There are people on the track. There's a medical car, all sorts, so just be very careful through there.

Yep. Yes. Well done everybody. That was probably the most stressful afternoon of my life. So, well done. Yep, that was a big move. So, thank you very much for the car. Fuck yeah. What a day that was. Thanks everyone. Thank you, thank you. Thank you. Yeah, really good job, Oscar. And I don't know if it was clear to you, Lando was able to hold up Paris a bit in the middle sector. So, a great team performance. He managed to get ahead of Verstappen. So, with that accident, that's Lando fourth as well.

Well done. Very nicely done, everybody.

Very nicely done. So the finishing order is yourself, Leclerc, Russell, Lando, Verstappen, Alonso, Albon, Colapinto, Hamilton, Behrmann.

And you are driver of the day as well.

Oh, thank you. I don't know what the thank you in Azerbaijani is, but I'm not even going to attempt it. Thank you.

Ok, Oscar, you're coming back into the pitlane. The boards will be in the pitlane.

Remember, we need to turn the car fully off. So when you kill the engine, wait five seconds and then switch fully off. Great afternoon, mate. Fantastic drive.
