Radio check.

Track temp and everything.

And just compared to that tyre that we were just on, I mean, how old was that tyre? Because the rear was pretty poured in.

Mike, you still feel 52?

It felt pretty decent. Right towards the end it starts to lock a little bit at the rear, but...

OK.

What do you think about that last hole?

No transcript available

May I dog any input? Second release. Faster? Slower? How do the starts look compared to the other?

Others still haven't started yet.

Wait a minute, it's a bit loose there. OK, copy. Clutch was off target.

OK, so we'll go with three short burnouts, three short burnouts.

I think the PU temperature will be better now, so the weight revs shouldn't be a problem. Just go a little bit more gradually onto the pedal as you pick them up.

Last car approaching the grid.

Likely save the car soon.

So, safety car, safety car. So, keep DALS positive, we are staying out.

Sir, it's turn 1. We think the debris will be on the left-hand side of the braking zone.

Just use the brake warming magic way again.

Stay right, stay right.

Stay as far right as possible.

Albon car parked on the left-hand side down the straight.

I had a bit more brake hallway magic usage. Be helpful. Just remember to stay right.

Are you saying that because of spits or...? Just front tips.

And recovery vehicle probably still between 3 and 4.

Albon's car is still on the track. The recovery vehicle hasn't picked it up yet.

B-Bal for a restart.

How am I doing? Tyres aren't brittles, are they?

Plus three. Keep working.

I'll cut you down.

Hotter, hotter.

Recommendation on restart will be 55.2, 55.2. And we use strat mode 10 to deploy a bit more energy. So that will be strat mode 10 on the restart.

There's a bit of a split between the front two brakes.

Yeah, copy, we see that. It is small, but yeah, we're one trip.

So, recovery vehicle is just moving that car away.

Still doing well on clamps. Copy, yes.

Assertive throttle in this lap.

And we'll go to strat mode 10. Strat mode 10.

B-Big. Two. B-Big two.

Safe to go out at turn 60.

Slack out, 0.7 ahead, 0.6 behind.

Biggest loss. Turn 6 exit. Turn 11 exit. Gap 1.1 ahead. 0.8 behind.

DRS has been enabled.

Gap on 1.2 ahead, 0.8 behind.

Gap 0.4 ahead, 0.7 behind.

1.2 ahead, 0.9 behind.

Sir George, we've got a long way to go. Copy.

Leave me alone, I'm losing it.

Maintenance is adjusted to DRS. Just make sure to keep the brakes under control.

Gap 0.5 ahead and behind.

RS is a great help, that's right. OK, copy. Gap's 0.9 a little bit. Don't be pushing too much. Copy. Traction metrics are high.

I'd recommend turn 5 and 6 for saving.

Gaps 1.1 ahead, 0.8 behind.

Gap 1.3. 8.9 to hug.

Yes, surface temp sector 3 are wrapping up with the steps.

Yeah, I'm going to downraise already, mate.

It's all surface temp.

I've got no rear brake.

Is there a bruise issue?

Okay, copy. Rear max 7.6 behind. Do as much management on traction. I'm sure you're doing it.

The car is just so oversteering.

So gap's one ahead, 0.6 behind.

Strat mode 11. George, same lap time. Magnussen there, 23.0.

I'm sitting at 1.5 ahead, 0.9 behind. Jamming. Rear wear is thick.

Copy that, Lewis. Pit window is very busy.

Gap 1.7 ahead, 1.3 behind. George 22.6, Magnussen 22.3, 23.3.

Main losses, turn 13 exit, turn 16 entry.

So, George at 22.8, Magnussen at 23.3. So, wear model says we still have plenty of rubber remaining, so that's just surface temp.

I've got great in front of me. I can feel the floor giving up. I'm staying on the corners.

OK, copy. Georgia 22.7.

Backset at 23.3.

Green on the front.

George, 22.5. Thinking of adding to front wing at the stop.

George 22.7. Yeah, I got this. My pace. Yeah, this is not going to work out.

Brake tips well under control, so lift the coast just for tyres.

Yeah, I'm definitely going to need a couple more hours.

Braking. That's ready.

How slow are we? George, 22.4.

So, I think we're just underbalanced, so I'm struggling to turn to help. Yep, agree. Yep, that rear is bad too.

Yeah, I got back to button 7.

Three stops here. And it won't be long.

Plan B.

Not much fluid in the tyres.

So I think plus four going to the hard.

Tyres are dead. Got no front left.

OK, so we'll box box.

B-plus five maybe. Copy.

That will happen normal. Reset your switches.

Still going to be between Colapinto and Valtteri.

South traffic, Colapinto. Valtteri, car behind.

Least cars 28 lap hard tyre.

So Verstappen five seconds behind. He has had a penalty. We are racing him.

Colapinto 1.3 ahead, doing 23.0.

Gap to Verstappen is 5.5 behind. Last lap he was at 20 on 3.

What have I been missing out on?

So, turn 3, turn 6, turn 11 mid-speed.

Are we good? That's it.

We're looking at the default plan, but still looking at the options.

And you're the fastest man on track with that time.

Every attempt coming up.

Yeah, temps are coming up. It's traction metrics that are critical, so keep those under control.

Sergio with 1.6 ahead. He's got Piastri at the nose ahead of him. He'll have to stop.

Is it overtime here? Okay, I came out further ahead.

So, with three laps offset to George.

So we've got George at 21.6. Verstappen 5.5 behind. He's at 22.2.

So, Georgia, 21.4.

Verstappen, 21.8. Biggest loss, turn 3, mid-speed exit.

George 21.6 has a front wing issue. Struggling with front wing load.

I do have HPP3, position 3. 3, position 3.

On the outside. Thanks.

So, George, 21.3.

He looks similar on tyre temps and traction metrics. Verstappen at 21.01. Gap at 6.3.

So, gap 2.7, George was at 21.5.

No, you don't have plan B on that.

Still looking at plan A.

Gap at 2.5. George was at 21.3.

And recommit if seven or eight high speed, if high speed seven or eight.

Gap at 2.8. George was at 20.9.

I have messed up.

Exit 6.

I have a bit of a slow skidding up.

Sir Temp's attraction metrics lower than George and Verstappen, 21.6.

Now George, 21.2. That's my best. That's how it's done.

Tyre tips are similar. Pace better than max.

Ernst Paes, come to the tents off Sites, race leader.

Where can I improve?

So, exit 3, entry 4, exit turn 6, places.

George was 21.0. Last lap was same pace as Sainz, race leader.

Brakes are well under control. So, George at 21.2.

Verstappen at 21.3, gap to him is now 9.8.

Gap to Georgia at 2.3. Last lap 20.8.

Turn now to 1.4. George, 21.4.

And you're free to race, just give each other plenty of room.

Last lap at 21.1.

I'll just keep looking after those rear surface steps.

Push and hold overtake is available.

HBP3, position 1. 3, position 1.

So you've got Zhou two and a half ahead of you in traffic.

Is that McLaren up ahead?

That exit, that's Zhou. Zhou ahead of traffic.

I can see a McLaren.

That will be Ocon. That will be Ocon. Delivery.

It's just the snaps that are costing us performance. Do what you can.

There you are. Oh, I'm not sure about you.

That's it.

Nice work, Lewis. We have had one strike for track limits.

So, Perez, back marker ahead.

5 laps remaining. Perez 1.3 ahead of his traffic. Maybe debris turn 1-2-3.

So, inside of three.

And baby debris 12 at 13.0, 12.13.

Four laps remaining. Pace not matching the leader signs. Fastest lap is 19.8 for Norris, for information.

Yeah, I don't think tyres have it in half an hour.

That's still debris. Turn 12 entry, middle of the road.

Two more laps.

Strat mode 9. I don't know if we should cool the tyres.

Leclerc has just pitted to take soft for fastest lap, so he's still sitting in front.

Strat mode 9.

Stay at 1.4 lap.

Well done Lewis, that's a P4 mate.

Decent recovery there, pal. And if we could have a bit of tyre pick-up. So, pick-up, rubber and then it will be Strat 14. HPP 1, position 12.

Yeah, great job guys. Not the smoothest of weekends, but started to come together a little bit in that second phase. Let's keep pushing.

Great job with this up.

Yeah, copy that, loose next.

We've definitely got to look into this floor, mate.

Yeah, got it in the leather.

They are much quicker than us up ahead in the second sin.

Yeah, it depends what you look. I mean, it wasn't looking too bad at the end when we had free air. We'll be back round to the pitlane, please.
