Possible debris turn. Walk keep to the right.

And safety car, safety car. OK.

So, we'll just be watching brake temps from now. I'll keep pre-charge on.

Okay, so we have a car off the wall, run off at turn 1. Albon stopped between 3 and 4. So just normal safety car procedures at this point, staying with the group.

Okay, so there looks to be debris in the centre of the track and on the left-hand side going into turn 1.

Okay, so we've got a recovery vehicle on track between 3 and 4.

Ok, good management with the brake switch. Keep low frequency weaving where you can.

Esteban, can we go two plus one on the dash for brake bias please? That will just keep the brake temperatures a bit more even.

Okay, so in terms of the race at this point, Piastri in front of you is on the medium tyre. And then in front of him, Zhou, Bottas, Colapinto and Perez are all on the hard.

Every car on the hard. Yes, so Perez medium in front and then four cars in front of him all on hard. The only other car on the hard tyre is Lawson in P10 further up the road.

And we can go to zero on the dash as well, so two clicks rearwards.

Okay, you're doing a nice job with the tyre temps here. They are still building gradually. Let's keep that low frequency weaving up where you can.

One more lap? Yeah, there'll be at least one more lap. We just had the clear turn 1 message and turn 3 as well, so it could be the safety car comes in at the end of this lap.

Esteban, we need fail B-0-0-OK, please, when you can. Fail B-0-0-OK.

And safety car is in this lap. Safety car in this lap.

Okay, so I'm in temp management. Very good. So we'd like to go to plus two on the dash for the restart. Then we'll go forwards to plus three after that, if you'll help me. Yeah, so lead car, Verstappen in the safety car, just going up to turn 12 now for info.

OK, all switches good. We'll just need recharge off for the restart.

That's just plus three on the dash for brake bars. Is it Bottas in front of Piastri or Zhou? Piastri, then Zhou, then Bottas, in that order.

Fail B. 0-0. OK when you can.

I'm happy for you to go up on diff mid to help balance.

Increase, lift to coast please. Increase, lift to coast.

Recommend a closed modifier for sector 3.

Maintain this level of lift at coast, please.

Zhou in front has been told to increase lift and coast. We're right on the limit here for front brake temps. We might ask you to increase shortly.

And fail B-0-0-OK when you can.

Okay, 20 metres, lift and coast minimum 1-4-12 please.

Rear tyres look good at the moment. Happy to push a little more through the high speed if there's anything there. I can't push more. There's nothing. That's fine.

OK, mate. How's the balance, please? How's the balance? The balance is OK. The grip is OK. OK, mate. Understood.

OK, this level of lifted coast is OK for now. As soon as we're back with DRS of Zhou, we'll need to go to 50 metres per braking zone.

Fail B, 0-0, OK once again.

I'm losing the whole sideboard stickers again. Yeah, copy. Increase lift at coast and let's go in for an overtake, please, Esteban. Brake temps are on the limit, over the limit.

That's about 60 metres. Lift to coast 1, 4 and 12, please. It's a requirement critical.

Okay, increase lift to coast extra 10 metres, please.

Verstappen boxed. He will come out behind us.

Taps critical. Increase lift to coast.

Okay, good job. This will make temp management easy.

Okay, Pierre has boxed. He'll be coming out two cars behind. Verstappen now, the car behind.

Close with Magnussen. Pit exit.

Okay, level of lift at coast is good. Let's maintain this pace for now.

Okay, so I have clear errors. Please press the OK button twice.

We need to defend from Magnussen and Hulkenberg behind. They are on new hard tyres. Almost all medium runners have stopped now.

7.7 with DRS. Hulkenberg two and a half behind.

Hulkenberg 0.7 behind 1.0 DRS. Car behind him is Pierre, another four seconds back.

Fail B-0-0-OK. Please fail B-0-0-OK.

Stay to zero and push the tyre, please. Stay to zero and push the tyre from now.

I can let you go, but let me out.

Stay out, please, Esteban. Stay out. We need to swap with Pierre cleanly, please. At the end of the start-finish straight.

Thank you. He's one second behind him. Behind him, five and a half seconds gap to Joe.

OK, so our brake temps have dropped. We're only 10 metres in 1, 4 and 12, please. Only 10 metres left to coast on each of those.

Check VALT synchronous everywhere, especially in 9. Copy that, having a look.

Okay, Piastri also in both box. Close with Piastri for his exit. He should be just behind us.

What is that cloud saying?

No rain expected for the next 30 minutes.

3.7 with DRS.

Clear errors, please, when you can. OK, but twice.

Okay, Esteban. Ride and bouncing we expect to improve after the next pitstop.

Levels OK from our side.

I have no grip on my side.

Yeah, copy that. It should get better.

OK, 28 laps remaining, assuming we're lapped, 28 laps remaining.

Okay, Zhou has boxed right there.

Copy, yeah, that's fine.

Ok mate, let's stick with it.

OK, so Stroll 1.9 behind. He's on 20 lap hold hard.

Stroll 1.2 behind him.

Okay, so Stroll 1.1 behind. Lors close behind if we want to try and keep these guys behind us.

Lawson set up a hold mediums.

Stroll point 7 with DRS. Full speed right now.

Okay, car behind Sainz. Two and a half seconds. He is the race leader.

Box this lap, Esteban. Box, box, box, box.

Okay, medium tyre, one and a half turns up.

Okay, could be close to Perez. Pit exit. We are racing.

Perez and then Zhou behind the racing bike.

21 laps to go. Perez has some damage behind, so should be able to race him to the end.

Okay, Esteban, so only a small amount of lifted coast needed on this tyre. Just need to watch traction on it.

Camo P15 at the moment. Racing Bottas 2.2 in front. See if we can push up to him. We're a lot quicker.

No rain expected for the next 15 minutes but chance increasing.

Okay, so that's the tyre management looking good from this point. No lateral or high-speed saving required anywhere around the lap.

Fourteen, naturally.

Gear lapping 21.5, 30 lap hard tyres.

Okay mate, we're happy to go up on diff high speed. Just had a bit more support winds picking up a little now.

Apparently 11 laps to go. 11 laps.

And ten laps to go. Still no rain expected for the next 15 minutes.

And Pierre lapping around 21.5 still.

Five laps to go.

Possible debris turn 12. Stay on line. All good.

Four laps to go.

Three laps to go.

Okay, Leclerc is boxing to do the fastest lap. He's going to come out right on top of us and we'll have blue flags for him.

Leclerc detected. We'll be close.

Sock ten. Sock ten for the last two laps.

And that is the chequered flag. Scenario 10, please. Scenario 10 and recharge stays off.

OK, mate, so finish P13 there at the end with that last overtake.

Normal in-lap procedures from here, please.

OK, remind us that the top three cars are going to stop by turn 13. We need to proceed to the...

So, yellow flag at turn 12. No overtaking there. This car is coming to a stop.

Normal switch-off procedures, please, when you come to a stop. Thank you very much.
