Radio check. Make sure your drink works. Yeah. Yeah, I confirm. That's seven minutes. Radio check loud and clear. So wait for the six minute power up before you can do drop. I will feedback you live where you are. Remember. Just focus on what you did training in the garage. Make sure you remember the physical position of your hand. That's the key bit. I'm sure you'll be fine. Remember, first lap without this push and hold. It's top five. We'll try to go race as soon as possible. Maybe into five is a bit early because you'll be busy with the push and hold. But I'll remind you, OK? Remember everything I said. 62 laps. It's going to be long. Protect the equipment. Protect your tyres. Protect yourself. Be there at the end. And good luck. It's going to be tough. But it's worth it, OK? Have a good one. Yeah, let's have a look, mate. Let's see. I can do the drops now. Just let me know when. Should be the sixth power up.

You can do a good job.

It's quite good drops. Keep that physical memory of the hand position. Use that for the start.

They're all pretty good, Nathan.

OK, four minutes. We will check from the engine island.

Yeah, right here. Yeah, that's likely.

All your drops are good. Passport vacancy.

OK, last three minutes. Tyres majority off medium. The only car ahead that is now medium is Hamilton P3 on soft. And behind, Perez medium, Magnussen hard, Ocon medium, Ricciardo soft, Stroll hard, Gasly medium and both Sauberon hard. Just for the first lap, Perez medium, Magnussen hard. Remember what we discussed, maintaining position on that first lap.

Yeah, I copy that. Copy.

And that should be 90 seconds, last power rope, once power rope, please put the meter on and confirm.

Yeah, go fair.

How can you push me back? Yeah, they will. That's one minute.

That's 45.

OK, 30 and formation up, remember. Prepare your tyres. Energy corners turn 5, 10, 9, 20.

And 15. Another good one. Remember, take care of yourself. Big breath. When it starts to be more difficult, you'll get this, OK? That's 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Do I go firm? Yes, you go firm, yes.

OK, and the initial was six percent. Just do a correction for the start. Just do a correction. I'll be back on balance. Focus on these tyres now.

Keep working the tyres, have a straight line. Turn 10, a good car not to push.

Exit 13, exit 14. Keep using the straight line. You're doing good.

And now focus on P-Euclid. P-Euclid priority, please. I do that. Keep within P-Euclid priority. Two burnouts. Two burnouts.

Okay, remember, you are left-hand side, left-hand side. PU temp, okay, two burnouts. Remember, let's go on the shallow side for the target, US 60. Just going to pit on the shallow side.

Still two cars. Still one.

Last car on the grid.

Okay, you're go race, go race.

Sainz, over. Yep.

For whoever is in front, analyst, red car.

Sorry about the tyres.

Okay, we're checking. What about your tyres?

First car behind Perez.

And we go mode 7 on start-finish, mode 7. First car behind you, Perez, gap 1.7.

Able has been data management, Lyca management, slip management. We reviewed Leclerc and we are happy with what he did. DRS enabled.

Oh, I know, I'm happy with what I did as well. He just passed me off the track. That's pretty boring, I'd say.

Yeah, copy. Don't worry about that. We have it under control. Worry about your tyres.

Time management good. 60 to go.

Okay, that's best P6. Leclerc P6 ahead. Doing good. Still focus on tyres.

Management still good. 59 to go.

Can-Am green 7, position 7. Green 7, position 7. Forward BB protecting rear.

I guess slip and lag were good. Keep doing what you're doing. P9 doing great.

OK, watch out for auto-insert line.

57 to go. 57.

OK, Piastri ahead, Progressive, you're picking up pace.

Keep focusing on that management. You're doing good. Perez, point eight behind. Leclerc, point nine ahead.

That was good, but not so good. My tyres are hot red. Hot red too.

We're currently happy. Leclerc one ahead, Perez 0.9 behind. Keep doing your management and remember you have the tyre tech switch.

OK, so Perez lost DRS. Just wasn't real locked on 13 and 14.

Focus for assist and management now.

P25, I go.

Green 10, position 7, please. Green 10, position 7. Perez 1.1 behind.

Okay, we're looking at plan A plus three, plan A plus three, Perez, point nine behind.

You've done 11 laps. Perez, P8. 51 to go.

OK, Perez, P9. Come back on flap, please.

Happy for his tyres, but for hers I will go up.

Okay, can I have green 12, position 14, please? Green 12, position 14. You're doing good.

Okay, we're looking at plan A plus eight. Please confirm you're happy. And Perez, 1.9.

Okay, both SC and BSC window are open.

I'm simply back on flap. I have a grip plus one hundred anymore.

Perez, 2.1 left. I'm scared of making more mistakes.

I mean, the reality is that my front left has got some braking, not front right as well.

Catch him with Leclerc and come back P6.38.8. Last lap.

Okay, we've done 18 laps, 44 to go.

I'd like to go Lyco level 2 and you can target 38.9, 38.9 lap time.

Okay, let's see if we can improve pace. Let's try more pace but keep it clean. Clean laps, please.

It's been good to come back. It was 39.1. Keep doing clean laps.

OK, we've done 22 laps, 39 to go. Doing great. Just keep doing clean laps. Watch out for slip-on exit. Turn 30.

Just a photo application. Watch out for the initial pick-up.

That's a good lap.

Keep on top of your tyres and your slips.

Okay. I'm happy with what you're doing. Main focus is tyre management. 37 to go.

What a traffic jam!

Don't worry, we're waiting for the right timing. Focus on management, slip turn 8 and 13.

This is good laps. Keep doing what you're doing and we'll get a good window.

DRS 5 behind. We come back. Was 39.6. You're doing good.

And target Leica 1.5, please, 1.5.

Okay, we have to keep doing what we're doing. Keep working on our tyre management, being clean laps.

Comeback rate 39.7. Perez behind as well, 39.7.

OK, that's 28 laps, 34 to go.

I'm happy to reduce Lyko. You were at level 2. Target level 1.5. I'm happy to give everything left you have now. Clean laps, no slide, but everything left.

That's mode 5, mode 5, early overtake turn 14.

And double press grip earlier at turn 40.

Hotshot, white line, pit limiter.

Copy pitlane. Lifestop, ZETU tools. Put on brake, watch the light, then switch to D1. Be racing. Will be racing Perez on pit exit.

OK, happy to push on these tyres, but watch out just over slipping.

Racing Perez. Racing Perez early, but take available.

Okay, if you're too far, just settle. Just settle. Follow him.

Okay, dead on situation. You're P12. One car ahead of us still to pit. 29 to go.

And we're racing Ocunberga and Perez ahead for P9.

Just had speed back. We got two strikes for when we were fighting going off tracks. Let's be careful with that.

OK, achieving LECO level 2, like to target level 3 and watch out slip exit on 13, please.

OK, I'm ready for lap 28 to go.

Watch out on your wheel spin, getting closer to Perez. Watch out on wheel spin. Alonso struggling ahead.

Just make sure we keep doing clean laps. Other mistakes and issues will bring us points.

OK, from 43 laps 80 to go.

Doing really good. Some of the cars may struggle with tyres or brakes. I start off troubled, OK?

OK, still watch out your slip exit at 13.9. Throttle pedal in straight line.

OK, 17 to go. Exit slip is better. Keep it up. Doing good.

Just saw that in 12. Watch out.

Keep focusing on that full throttle. Some big lift on this G. All the way, please.

Focusing straight line.

Okay, you'll be opening your last lap early overtake turn 5, exit turn 5.

Still focusing straight line.

Focus in straight line. Early overtake exit turn 14.

You've got to be taking the flag.

That was a tough one. That was a tough one. You made it to the circuit. I couldn't speak, but it's not that I didn't want just me to save energy. I was... I know. I know. It's good learning. It's good learning. It's building you up. OK? It's building you up. It's a very tough race. Probably the toughest of your life so far. And that's P11. An eventful race in a way. So, word of the point, but you fight well. Focus on pick-a-thing.

Yeah, sorry, I couldn't really attack too much, I wasn't feeling comfortable to the surf. I tried but it's very difficult to follow close, very difficult.

Franco, you did a fantastic race. I think Gaetan summarised it well. This is one of the toughest races you have ever done and you were there second from the points. We win together, we lose together. I think we had a car this weekend that if we got everything right, there were points available. But I can tell you one thing, I'm really excited by these last six races together. There's a fast car and so much potential.

Yeah, yeah, Jim's agreed. I could keep up with them, with Red Bull, with Haas and Aston, so... It's promising. I wasn't feeling well to fight, but even though I think we were there all the race, so... Yeah, let's keep building up. He's got a lot of stomach pain, I think it's with the... I think it's the drink, but a lot of stomach pain. I know it's the sugar or something, the drink, but yeah, quite painful stomach ache.

Alright Franco, come on in and we'll help you.

Okay, so remember, you'll be under Parc fermé. Once you've stopped the car, you'll have to reset it fully, jump out, steering wheel back on, and then remember, even if you want to, don't drink, go wake yourself up first thing.

Okay, remember when you stop fully the car, switching off fully will be zero.

Yeah, I copy. Okay, and that's P0. And when you jump out, you'll back on and go wait yourself first thing.
