OK, copy. And at the front around Yuki, everyone is on medium.

Copy. So, just Hamilton, Colapinto in front of me on hard.

And we have Stroll a little bit further up as well. Copy that. So Russell, pitlane start. It looks like he will go hard as well.

We are two minutes to formation lap.

Click of attack. Two tyre warming when you can.

Okay, good job. Let's push, please.

OK, let's maximise all that high-speed braking. Good braking, turn 12.

People are going quite slow in the very last corner. Remember not to come to a full stop, please. If you can.

Ok, heads up people, very slow turn 90 exits.

Offset zero. Brake circuit.

You're in offset one, offset zero, if you agree.

One tyre warming. Click of a tick, one tyre warming. Mode 3 for the start.

Mode 3 for the start.

If you can, click of attack, mode 6.

On possible small debris turn 1, try to follow the car ahead of you. Offset forward, one click.

Okay, good job on your start to goal. 2-1 is clear.

Shape 3, currently in 4.

Safety car deploy. Safety car deploy. We stay out and we're going to have to work on front brakes and front tyres. Offset 2. Mode 14. Mode 14.

Yeah, copy. I'm just struggling with the front left at the moment. I'm going to not use the toggle in 12.

Just a little bit, Tom.

Come with us, we'll keep an eye.

Is he in the wall or is he just in the gravel? He's just in the gravel. And we stay out.

And a reminder to keep up the weaving on the front brake temperature to help those front tyres for the restaurant. But we have good margin for now. You can look at the dash. OK, so we have double 0 turn 19 where the car is in the gravel.

Ok, Liam, so a few heads up for the safety car restart. We will use mode 3, and that will be racing from the line, and we'll try to make sure we stay nice and close to the car ahead of us.

So behind you is Zhou on medium, ahead of you is Stroll on hard.

Liam, obviously we've got one track, four track limits, so we have to be careful with this. Yeah, OK. You fucking pushed me off, but yeah. Loud and clear. Obviously, we know what's happening if we get to more than three. I guess they prefer us to crash.

No, copy that. Sorry for the comment. No, no, no, sorry.

On the Lyon before the safety car, so turn 45 is where we can do a little bit more management.

Confirmed, so the beginning of the high speed section in sector 1. Copy.

Obviously, for now, we have a P13, so we try to stay in that DRS. And we have a recovery vehicle on track. Watch out, please. And still a double yellow turn 19.

On Liam, we can see a little bit of understeer sector 1 high speed, but the balance will come towards us with the rear deck. Copy that.

And Liam, we will go to mode 7 after mode 3, once we've done our first lap at the restart.

My tyres are still looking good.

Safety car into your stop. Safety car into your stop. Copy that.

Charge on. Charge on.

Mode 3 in the background.

On back to offset zero for lap 1, if you agree.

Oh, Gilliam, all switches are good. We're waiting to be a little bit closer to the end to do a charge-off. Stay nice and close to the kerb height.

Charge off. Charge off. Let's get ready.

Mode 7. Offset 1.

OK, Liam, we are now leading the cars on hards, so let's try to stay not too far from the people on medium and clean laps. Look after your tyres, please.

Ok, we are happy with your sector 1. Good job for tyres. Many people are getting track limits, so let's stay on track and we can pick up the pieces later in the race.

Press and hold the brakes, please. Press and hold the brakes, please. Press and hold the brakes, please.

OK, grab behind Lewis Colapinto, zone spawn in turn 1.

When we are happy with tyre, you can reduce management sector 1. If we need front ends, we can open the straight one step.

Ok, good job Liam. We keep focusing on clean laps. Carried is Hulkenberg, 2.2. Hulkenberg is doing 41.6.

And careful under late brake pressure, turn 11, to avoid the snap.

Our last lap was two tenths faster than Hulkenberg's. Alonso is 1.6 behind. We focus on the front.

Back to mode 6, QNH 7.

Brake late to turn 89.

Come here, Liam. Last lap we are still gaining turn 89. Keep us posted through the run.

Strat 1. Currently in 2. Strat 1.

Starting to lose grip right now.

Copy that. Let's be more gentle on power. Exit on 8, please.

We can move to entry 9 and we keep looking after those rear temperatures.

Let's consider staying in straight 6 to keep using front tyres and saving the rear.

Liam, good job on managing those last couple of laps, that was really good. We want to achieve our target lap, so let's keep it there. Our race is a bit later.

On Iliam we do have Russell 1.8 behind. Make sure you keep your tyres alive when he's coming, please.

On last lap was only braking turn 13.15. DRS was good.

OK, Liam Russell, it's close to your DRS now, so obviously we try to keep our position, but let's keep our tyres alive.

Ok Liam, we have a few cars on medium who have started to pit. We follow our plan.

All good, thank you very much.

Ok, head down Liam. The deck is looking good for us, so we stick to the plan. Let's go back into the rhythm.

We are currently on lap 22 and we are still on plan A. You're doing a good job.

Offset 2. If you are happy, you can manage. Offset 2. If you are happy, you can manage. To apply rotation brake.

Ok, Liam, so Yuki and Gasly in 3R New Hard are doing 41.0, your lap time was 41.4, and Hulkenberg is speeding up, he's doing 40.7 now.

Turn 13.15. If you can, we try to focus more on exits. 13.15, that's where we are losing.

On Lyam, if we have a bit of pace, sector 1, we can try to reduce my jump amount one step. But you're doing strong laps. You were four tenths faster than Yuki on new tyres.

And if we're able to keep this pace, we may have a chance to overcut a few cars. You're doing a very good job.

How is sector 1? Do you still want less management?

We're in a good place, Liam. We're in a very good place. Keep doing the same.

On last lap was still four tenths faster than Yuki on new tyre.

Liam, heads up. Pace is looking good. So we are looking at extending. We keep you posted. Yeah, copy. My cycles are bad braking.

OK, Liam, let's keep focusing on that pace. It's looking very, very good. You have overcut Albon and Yuki and we are just about to overcut Gasly. Clean laps.

Gasly is doing 40.7.

OK, consider opening this straight one more step and we're happy to use a bit more the tyres sector 1 on turn 17, if you have margin there.

Ok, Leandro, you're doing a very good job. We are just monitoring Perez behind Colapinto on new tyres. We keep you posted.

Consider back to entry 8 if you need low speed rotation.

OK, Liam, we are just matching Gasly's pace. We are missing a little bit to overcut him. And then when we pit, we need just a couple of laps of introduction and we'll be good to the end.

On the last lap, be careful not to overpush the start of the high speed at turn 3. Copy.

Ok, Liam, let's keep on the clean laps and if you have one or two tenths, now is a good time. But clean laps, no mistake.

Yeah, fuck, I...

The pace is still very good, Liam. You're doing a very, very good job. Well done.

But let's get him. He's got no DRS.

And yeah, make sure you keep it clean with Gasly. There was a good number of penalties given ahead of you.

Okay, I'm currently pitting.

Hulkenberg, car ahead, 11 ahead. He is on hard, 10 laps older than you. Let's make sure we keep it to the end, please.

Strat 2 for performance. Currently in Strat 1. We are P9. 16 laps to go.

Let's try to avoid the snap exit turn 11 and consider straight 6 to put a bit of understeer in the car. Copy.

Okay, Liam, so Hulkenberg is 11.5 away, a little bit far away, so let's make sure we nurse those tyres nicely to the end, please. You're in a good place.

Help me out with my clippers.

You have one strike, two more left.

And Hulkenberg is doing 39.1.

Offset one click forward if you can manage it.

How is the balance in high speed, Liam? Can we put a bit more understeer? Yeah, we can. Let's do the straight. Straight 7. Let's close it one step, please.

Eleven more laps. We are happy on tyres. No concern on tyres. Clean laps to the edge.

Hulkenberg is 9.5 ahead and he's got one more strike left and he might get a five-second penalty.

On Hulkenberg 8 ahead, we need to keep an eye on Colapinto, he's 5 behind and he's doing 38.6.

Colapinto 4.1 behind and it just went for a 37.6, so we'll keep an eye on him.

On Colapinto gained 1 tenth sector 1 lifting a bit earlier turn 3 on gaining following corners.

Strat 4 for performance, currently in 2. If we have overrotation in low speed, we can move to EB12. Consider EB12, one step up.

And let's not overpush on exits. We just need to look after temperatures and it will make you faster.

OK, last lap was very good. Just a tenth Colapinto faster. He's 3.6 behind. Good job.

That's six more laps after this one. Six more.

Colapinto's three behind. Only gained four tenths last lap. Let's just focus on that pace.

On the previous lap, main difference was straight line braking turn 11. One tenth.

OK, Liam, three more laps. After this one, three more laps. I'm going to keep radio silence. I'll keep you focused to the end.

One more lap after this one. One more lap.

All right, Liam, charge on, fail 84. And no overtaking on your way in, please. Nice and easy. All right, mate. Well, I don't really have any words. So I will let you enjoy this one. P9, that felt quite long at the end, at least on my side. Yeah, I can say it felt long on the hair. Holy shit. How do we do that? You were fast. This is how we did it.

Well done, Liam. That was an outstanding debut. Very, very proud. Well done. You can be proud of yourself and all the work you have done in the last months to be showing yourself as ready as you are now. Well done.

Thanks, mate. Gave that everything.

Ok, Liam, so that's Leclerc, Sainz and Max on the top three. Then we've got Norris, P4, Piastri, P5, Russell in P6, who gone by Perez in the last few laps in P7, and Hulkenberg just right after in P8. And behind you, who was coming back a little bit too fast for our liking, was Colapinto.

Copy that. Yeah, copy. Good job. Thank you everybody. The step we made yesterday was really nice in the race as well. Easy to manage. Just a really complete car, so thank you very much for the hard work and for preparing me for this. I appreciate it.

Copy, thank you. We'll keep moving forward from here and yeah, we've got some potential good directions. Also with those few bits and pieces we bring to this race, which helped us a lot.

OK, and a reminder please when you stop at the bridge to do a full car switch off.

OK, on reminder when you stop the car, full car switch off to P0 please to look after everything.

Alright, let's make sure you enjoy this. It's been a good one.

Thanks, mate. Thank you, guys.
