Thank you for watching.

19:03:10

No burnouts in the pitlane. Straight down to the end. Keep the engine running.

19:03:55

Last car is just approaching the back of the grid.

19:04:08

And lights out.

19:04:25

It's a double yellow time one.

19:05:56

So, debris, turn 1-2.

19:06:13

DRS enabled.

19:06:47

Albon doesn't have DRS.

19:08:25

So, safety car, safety car. Strat 1, delta positive, we are staying out.

19:08:37

Magic is available. Work off tyres.

19:08:46

Struggling for grip on this tyre.

19:08:59

So, safety car is for Lewis. He's stuck in the gravel turn 19. He lost the rear of the car there this time.

19:09:39

So it's double yellow, turn 90.

19:10:18

So, green 11, position 3. Green 11, position 3.

19:10:28

The only car to pit there was Albon. He did have some front wing damage.

19:11:05

And green 3, position 2. Green 3, position 2.

19:11:56

And we've got a recovery truck at turn 19.

19:12:03

Still double yellow.

19:13:27

So, safety car in this lap.

19:13:38

So it will be Strat 13 at the restart.

19:13:53

Sainz and Leclerc is controlling the pace now.

19:14:04

That safety car has turned 16.

19:14:10

So, we can select Strat 13 now. Safety car turn 18.

19:14:17

Safety car, turn 90.

19:16:38

So, gap ahead one second.

19:16:44

DRS enabled.

19:17:20

Valtteri will have DRS.

19:19:00

Valtteri will have DRS.

19:22:33

And Valtteri will have DRS.

19:22:37

OK, revoke station or not?

19:22:42

A-firm happy at the moment.

19:23:26

Oxidation is at or around or below the limit at the moment.

19:23:43

I don't have any grip at this time currently.

19:24:07

Yeah, Valtteri will have DRS.

19:24:17

So, it just looks like at the moment a rear overheating. Is there anything we can do to manage that? Suggesting EB2 for low speed corner.

19:26:00

Green at 3, position 3.

19:26:51

So, still on plan, target plus four here.

19:27:30

Valtteri will have DRS.

19:27:38

A long push and hold on overtake is available here.

19:28:13

Good stuff, mate. Colapinto next, one second.

19:29:12

So Colapinto will not have a DRS.

19:29:54

Alonso ahead 1.2. He's currently not getting DRS.

19:31:55

Sir, George, we've got a five second penalty for forcing Valtteri off the track. What?!

19:32:34

So Alonso doesn't have DRS.

19:32:49

Total joke, George, with the penalty. Total joke.

19:34:15

Alonso doesn't have DRS.

19:34:57

Good job, mate. So we'll just keep picking them off. Lawson next, 1.7.

19:35:16

So Alonso behind has DRS. And we have one strike for turn 11.

19:36:38

George, we recommend a bit more traction management. Turn 11, exit.

19:36:57

Tsunoda and Gasly just pitted off of the medium tyre.

19:38:38

Still target plus four here.

19:39:29

George just looks like braking point a bit deeper last two laps. Triggering that front locking.

19:41:41

Nice job, mate. Just keep on top of the traction management now.

19:42:02

That's Sainz just pitted.

19:42:48

Sir Hulkenberg ahead at 21 lap hold at mediums, currently doing 40.5.

19:43:39

And just give me an update on tyres when you can.

19:43:54

I feel like a trolley.

19:45:19

So this place is looking really good, mate. Verstappen 40.1, Leclerc 39.9.

19:45:34

Hulk ahead, doing 40.8.

19:47:01

So, turn 11, traction management looking really good now.

19:48:39

So Verstappen just pitted off the medium.

19:50:01

And Leclerc just pitted off of the medium tyre.

19:50:19

And that was Perez coming into the pits there too.

19:51:08

Marker, port, crosswind, pick up. Copy.

19:52:47

So, George, we're target plus five currently, but we'll just keep going. Head down, just keep putting in the lap times and extending the gap.

19:53:38

So, currently still forecast to be interacting with Perez second half of this race.

19:56:07

So we've still got Norris and Piastri out there on the medium tyre, currently doing 39.6s. So a very similar pace to them currently.

19:56:58

So, currently target plus seven.

19:57:35

Fuck, it's a downshift!

19:59:26

The car has been feeling very strong at turn 11 always. The turn of 15 is going to be tricky.

20:00:09

Yeah, just be on exit.

20:02:46

So currently Hulk would be three seconds inside our window with the penalty at the stop. We'll just keep putting in lap times. He's currently doing mid 39s.

20:03:04

I'm happy to keep extending. Depends what race we're in.

20:03:20

Yeah, it makes sense to extend. It'll be Perez that we're racing with.

20:04:26

George, can you get lap times back to where they were before Piastri? All of the tyres taken. Thirty-nine. Mid-tyre thirty-nine. That's all I can do.

20:08:37

Ah, we've missed that in the last lap. We had a wet drop.

20:10:16

George, it's a great lap time, so just keep doing what you're doing.

20:10:52

Tyres are breathing.

20:11:05

Oh, at least stabilised. Copy.

20:12:46

I've taken a step this lap, but I think it's a win. Okay. Understood.

20:13:05

I'm going to say the box in this lap. He's going to say box, Bottas.

20:13:22

So, box, box, and we've got a five second penalty.

20:13:53

So, introduce these tyres. Turn 6. Turn 16. Collapse. 15 to go. That's Hulkenberg. Three seconds ahead on exit.

20:14:50

So Hulkenberg four seconds ahead, 14 lap old, hard tyres doing 39.4.

20:15:39

And Perez, nine seconds ahead, is the target. He's doing 39.1.

20:15:54

A lot of derails on the outlap.

20:17:19

Perez just picked up the pace a little bit. 38.9.

20:17:31

And you have passed this lap.

20:18:10

And George, just an update, so you do currently have two strikes.

20:18:55

Perez, last lap 38.8. Just keep reeling him in at 8 tenths a lap.

20:21:08

Great job, mate. Hulkenberg doesn't have DRS. Seven seconds ahead.

20:21:22

Strat 7 would be free at the moment. Gap ahead 6 seconds and would be 11 laps remaining over the line.

20:23:49

Ten laps remaining. Gap ahead five seconds. Perez was a 38.6.

20:24:35

Green three, position one. Green three, position one.

20:25:29

Where are we targeting to catch up? Home.

20:25:40

In around three to four laps.

20:27:04

Pack is fully charged, so you can go strat 13 or strat 5 as you wish.

20:27:52

Green six, position one. Green six, position one.

20:29:36

It feels like you've increased your pace a bit.

20:29:46

Yeah, A-firm, he's picked it up a couple of tenths, I'll see that.

20:30:21

Six laps remaining.

20:36:56

Two laps remaining.

20:38:16

Should we go fastest lap? Strat 13. What's our quickest?

20:38:33

So you did a 37.6 was your fastest. Final lap.

20:38:39

And watch track limits.

20:38:52

Strat 30.

20:40:15

Great drive today, mate. P6 in the end. Some really good racing out there.

20:40:22

Thanks everyone for fixing the car after yesterday. Apologies for that. Dinner's on me tonight.

20:40:32

Tony, do you want to come down? Agree. One position to twelve. Strat 40. Yeah, George, very well driven. That was really a good race.

20:40:49

Thanks, Sergio. Hi, mate. You're driving. Not very well, but the driving must be optimised. I understand, you don't worry. I still think there's good potential in this car. Let's keep on working.

20:41:11

Thank you for watching.

20:41:15

Verstappen get a penalty for that turn 1.

20:41:24

No, he didn't get a penalty and at the end Lando got a penalty for being fast off and overtaking on the outside, yeah. I guess it's a bit biased decision making but, you know, not surprised.

20:41:41

Hehe, strange.
