Five minutes to formation lap.
17:56:21
The halo fan isn't holding in the right position anymore. That would take the shroud off.
17:57:25
And start tyres, everyone is on medium tyres. Everyone on used? Or at least in the top ten? Yeah, looks to be on up to P9 Magnussen, everyone's on used. Tsunoda is on new tyres.
17:58:48
Ninety seconds. Fire up.
17:59:48

18:06:37
So Norris has a point seven ahead of him.
18:06:43
Start time is in. A-OK.
18:07:26
Thors will have DRS.
18:20:39
Sir, nine laps remaining. Lewis four seconds behind. He's struggling a rear axle, so we just need to do everything we can to get this to the end now.
18:22:19
At green at 3, position 2. Green 3, position 2.
18:24:01
Seven laps remaining.
18:25:38
So six laps remaining. Main lap time loss, just the early part of the lap and the S's high speed management.
18:29:48
Gap 1.2, Lewis will have DRS.
18:30:34
So, gap 0.8 Lewis has DRS, goes without saying, but keep it nice and clean.
18:32:12
So, Strat 5. Two laps remaining.
18:33:02
So, gap 1.1. Lewis will have DRS.

Sorry about those overtaking the Ferraris, but they were in another league. No grip from the tyre. Yeah, not the race we wanted, so P5 in the end. The Ferraris did look quick, so final order Verstappen, then Sainz, Norris, Leclerc, but the Ferraris were battling with Norris on that final lap.
18:36:07
I have green 3, position 1.
18:36:15
Just collecting rubber on the in lap here.
18:38:00
So, into the pitlane.
