Radio check.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I did.

Yeah, let's do it, guys. A lot can happen, so let's be on it.

Where should I start my burnouts?

Copy.

OK, reminder for a burnout out of 13 if you can. Car's going slow.

OK, I'm happy to do some weaving.

What about the brakes? Is that fixed yet?

So, brakes are OK at the minute.

We just want to keep rears below 450.

Okay, so things are starting to cool. Once you get to turn 18, let's do a rolling bite point learn. And then after the rolling bite point learn, we can do three burnouts.

The last car on the grid.

And DRS enabled.

Okay, gap to Ricciardo ahead 0.5, Stroll behind 0.8.

Guys, the NLG is not sustainable.

Okay, we have SOC 9 available. SOC 9.

Gap Ricciardo, 0.7. I hit the DRS.

Okay, gap to Ricciardo, 0.8. Gap to Stroll behind, 1 second. He does not have DRS.

Just look away for the sock.

Okay, the pack is charging.

I want large. I want sustainable.

Let's go. Sock 6.

Okay, gap to Ricciardo 1.0. Stroll behind 0.9.

Okay, gap to Ricciardo, 0.9. Stroll, 1.0.

We're in a long DRS train led by Hamilton who's doing 39.0.

We're gonna have some infantry. We are slippery.

Copy, we'll get back to you. Management looking good.

Okay, you've got shape four available, shape four.

Okay, gap to Ricciardo 1.4, Stroll 1.0 behind, no DRS.

Okay, gap to Ricciardo 1.6. Stroll 1.1 behind. We are still on plan A.

Gap to Ricciardo. 1.3. Stroll.

We'll get back to you. Let's protect the fronts if we can. Stroll behind, complaining of graining.

You can go offset minus one. Offset minus one.

Okay, there's some time to gain. Exit of 14 compared to Ricciardo.

And braking for turn 7.

Okay, Pierre, what's your status? Status 5 at the start, but no, I don't have any grip.

Okay, copy that. In terms of energies, everything's looking good at the minute.

Okay, so Ricciardo boxed with a brake temperature issue.

So Albon is a car ahead. He's three seconds up the road.

Correction, that's 4.8 to Albon up the road.

Car ahead is Magnussen.

Magnussen, last lap was a 39.7.

Gap to Stroll behind 1.9. He is struggling with front tyres.

I hit the wall.

OK, we're checking. Pressures are OK.

Okay, Magnussen still 4.8 ahead, still doing 39.7.

OK, so the car is OK from that wall contact.

What's the pace of the other car? So you're lapping similar times.

Okay, Esteban, last lap was a 39.6.

And Magnussen 39.6, so you are slowly catching them. Yeah, is the rear slip OK or you want me to manage more?

And we are happy with the rears. You're doing a good job.

Gap to Stroll behind 2.6. He's got graining on both axles.

I'm on GPS. We're on the next lap every lap. Copy.

Okay, so at the minute compared to Esteban, it's mainly straight line as he's closer to the car in front.

And turn 14 apex to Magnussen.

Okay, Pierre, so we could go offset minus one. We just want to protect these fronts.

So you're two tenths quicker than Magnussen ahead, still slowly reeling him in.

Okay, compared to Magnussen, times again, braking for turn 1.

OK, Magnussen, last lap 39.3.

Okay, Pierre, and you continue to be three tenths quicker than Esteban and Magnussen. So you're doing a good job.

Sometimes I don't know what's going on.

Okay, so Maxson about to lose some time with Hamilton. If you can, a little bit more management turn 18.

Okay, gap to Magnussen now three seconds. Star is in entry, how is it looking? Everything looking good so far.

Okay, copy that.

Okay, think about closing the diff for the snaps. How are the tyres in general?

A bit of front derailleur tap off.

But it recovers quite fast.

It's more thermal than anything.

We agree, Pierre. Thank you.

So we have margin to do a bit more lift and coast.

I need more GPS and lockdown, I don't have enough time, over and out. Okay, so you're still a tenth quicker than Esteban.

Okay, Pierre, so you're catching and are faster than Magnussen. Tsunoda, two cars up the road. It's a little bit quicker. Mid-corner, turn 11.

So you're four tenths quicker than Esteban.

And nearly a second quicker than Magnussen. So 1.5 to Magnussen now.

OK, so time to gain 10 and 11 mid-corner.

Start sliding the wheel in order that I'm behind you.

Gap to Magnussen 1.1.

Okay Pierre, let's focus on the exit of turn 10 so you can give up a bit of time on entry for a better exit.

Down 1.0 to Magnussen.

Battery is full. Overtake available.

OK, Pierre, car behind is Sainz. We've got an office 13, the car is sideways.

Okay, we'll take a look and offer some help. So Sainz behind point nine.

Okay, we can gain some time through mid-corner at turn five.

And you've got the back left available for 13 back left.

Okay Pierre, so for info, the hard tyre doesn't look great. It does not look great. We're still on plan A, but we'd like to extend.

Happy reward. Reward. The fuck are you doing with that?

Okay, so let's just keep doing some lift and coast.

I'm going to go back to doing a minimum of one second lift and coast.

Temperatures are hot, but we're not losing performance.

Okay, we need to increase lift and coast. We need 1.5 seconds lift and coast.

Absolutely ruined our race. Okay, so let's keep our head down, let's focus.

Let's go back to sock six. Let's get back in the rhythm.

Okay, we can do one second of lift and coast, please. Yeah, I'll do it. I'll stop in the face. I'll update you.

Okay, Tsunoda in P9, same tyre as you, did a 40.3.

And can we get PU1 position 6. PU1 position 6.

OK, we got Hulkenberg and Colapinto in the pits. It will be close on exit.

So, Esteban just boxed.

His last lap was a 40.7.

So you've got Hulkenberg, Perez and Colapinto behind on two hard tyres.

Okay, Tsunoda, last lap was a 40.1. I have a Valtteri small condition.

Come here, I know it's painful but we need to keep going.

Okay, so car behind is Zhou. He's on 30 lap old hard tyres. And we're still at plan A. Target plus five.

I don't know, I can't keep it on track.

I'll do a slung in C-needle.

OK, you're doing a good job, mate.

OK, so car behind is Ricciardo. He's on 21 lap old mediums.

Gap to Ricciardo, 0.8.

And if we can go fail Bravo 0-0 on. Fail Bravo 0-0 on.

Okay, gap to Ricciardo 0.4.

You're doing a good job, mate. Keep doing what you're doing.

Gap to Ricciardo, 0.4.

OK, you're doing a good job, mate. How many laps do you think you can keep Ricciardo behind?

Depends on him really. Two corners or maybe five.

Okay, Pierre, think about using the yellow modifier. We've got the yellow modifier available.

So, the state is zero.

Okay, we're staying out. Let's stay out.

Why are you doing this to me?

OK, we just need a couple more laps, Pierre.

Okay, Pierre, so we've got the yellow modifier available.

Okay, we're boxing this lap.

So, box, Pierre, box.

Okay, you're clear on pit exit.

And we've got torque 10, available torque 10.

So let's reset our switches. Let's go status 5 for a couple laps.

On tarmac, behind the rear.

Okay, so car ahead Verstappen. No, no, I don't care about Verstappen. Guys, I'm fighting. How much did we lose?

I'll get back to you. We've lost a bit of time, mate, but let's just focus now. We need to get these tyres to the end. The plan is to go to the end on these. Let's not destroy this tyre. If there's a safety car now.

We'll see what happens.

I hope so.

How many laps I gotta do? I'll give you a lap time very shortly. We've got 23 laps remaining. 23 laps.

And if you can do thirty-eighths, one minute thirty-eighths, Esteban is 30 seconds up the road.

30. 3-0. 3-0.

Now they're going to make it to the end.

So, there's still 22 laps remaining after this one. Let's see what happens, mate. Let's just focus on keeping these tyres clean.

Okay, Pierre, so we're happy to start increasing the pace. So let's not go straight to status zero, but let's start to gradually increase the pace.

1.1 laps remaining. So you've got the Saubers 8 seconds ahead. They're doing 38.5.

Okay, so you should catch these guys ahead in the next five to seven laps.

Okay Pierre, so we think we're going to be rear limited on this tyre.

You don't want to push much harder than you are now. Ok, so do what you can to make it to the end. We've got 19 laps. Yeah.

OK, so Bottas is 4.8 ahead doing 38.0.

They are on the medium tyre.

The tyres are 10 laps old, so four laps older than yours.

And gap to Bottas, 4.3.

Gap to Bottas ahead 3.2.

Okay, so we've got 15 laps remaining. Let's keep focusing on the rears. Let's keep focusing on these rear tyres.

The energy is good or not.

I know we are not in the race, but I haven't heard anything about the tyres inside of the pits. So, you're doing a good job with lifting coast, so we're worried about the rear tyres. Do what you can to protect the rears. Yeah, but do I need to do anything different or not? That's what I mean.

So, it's the surface temps picking up that we're worried about, so you need to be mindful on traction. So, try and keep the wheel spin down on traction.

Okay, so you're three to five tenths quicker to the guys ahead, so you will catch them. We've got Piastri three seconds back.

OK, so last few laps, energies have stabilised, so keep doing what you're doing.

So Magnussen ahead has a puncture.

Gap to Bottas 1.0, Piastri 2.7 behind.

We've got SOC 5 available. SOC 5.

Gap to Bottas 0.6. You have the back left available for turn 16.

I have Piastri 1.5 behind.

Okay, gap to Bottas 0.6, Piastri 1.2.

We've got solid blue for Piastri.

And let's increase lift in coast if we can.

Gap to box 0.9.

Gap to Bottas 0.5. Overtake is available.

I've got no traction. I don't catch the DRS, I've got no traction.

Company loves. We've got eight laps once you cross the line. Eight laps remaining.

Okay, Pierre, so we need to do some lifting coast. If you can't overtake, we need free air.

That's what we've got to do until last.

You want me to open a 3 second gap? Stay there. Ok mate, so we're not P last. There's two cars still behind us. We are P17. So you've got Ricciardo and Magnussen had to stop again. So we want to make it to the end. We are too hot, so we need lift in coast. If you can't overtake, we do need to increase the gap.

We've got Ricciardo seven seconds back. He's in P18.

You have more power on that, forgive me. If not, I won't be able to pass, so...

So, you're doing... I know they are. Just keep doing what you're doing, man. You're doing a good job. You have what you've got. We have nothing else to give.

Let's keep doing lift and coast. Take free air where possible.

And you have the back right for turn 13.

OK, Pierre, let's go. Fail B-0-0 off. Fail Bravo 0-0 off. And we need to increase the gap. We are too hot.

And if you can increase... Mate, we need to not damage the engine, so we are too hot.

So there's five laps after this one.

Okay, so gap is good. Gap is 2.4. Let's try and keep that gap to two seconds. Russell, the car behind, 2.4.

OK, so Russell the car behind it doing 37.6.

Four laps remaining. We've got four laps remaining, so let's just keep pushing to stay ahead of Russell. Gap is 2.3.

His last lap was a 37.8.

And we have SOC 3 available. SOC 3.

Okay, three laps to go.

Gap to Russell increasing at three seconds now. His last lap, 38.3.

OK, two laps to go, two laps to go.

Gap to Bottas 1.2. He does not have DRS.

So gap to Bottas is 0.8 and battery is full.

So this is the final lap. This is the final lap.

Okay Pierre, that's the chequered flag. Let's go scenario 10, recharge off. Let's go to scenario 10.

Tough day out there, mate. We've had a tough weekend. Sorry about that. We'll use these next few weeks to recover, come back stronger in Texas. Staying out long, did try and help the other car. Unfortunately Esteban finished P13. So I appreciate your help today, but we'll talk more about it later.

Sacrificed.

It's ok. Take it for the team. You guys decide what to do. I guess we needed to do it.

Just need to swap this car out because it's not OK. It's not good enough. But thank you guys. Tough conditions for the weekend. I know you did your best.

Now, please look at the car and find a way to make it faster because...

Last weekend's been very tough. Yep, agree mate. Car's not good enough, so we will keep pushing, try and give you a better car to work with. But thanks for your efforts.

The race was won by Norris, ahead of Verstappen and Piastri. Russell in P4, Leclerc in P5, and Hamilton, Sainz, Alonso, Hulkenberg P9, Perez in P10.

OK, so once you're in the pitlane, it'll be usual switch-off procedures. And big lift if you can.
