And radio check, Brad. Loud and clear, Charles.

How long left?

Not good then. Yeah, you jumped in quite early.

Top 14 cars on medium. First car on hard is Perez. Alonso on soft in P16. Another two cars behind him on hard.

And you can fire up.

So, reminder, pit limiter on, mode formation, bite point, clutch test, two reds, K2 on. Pit limiter on.

Thirty seconds.

Ten seconds.

Five seconds.

And we will need some Lyco into next corner.

Four burnouts, four.

Last car is on the grid.

Brake balance plus one. Really nice start. And now we get into our rhythm.

Russell 0.9 ahead.

DRS enabled.

Gap to Russell 1.1. Multifunction RB position one. Multifunction RB position one.

And we need to save more in turns 10 and 11. Russell 1.0.

Consider mode TS. Priority are tyres. Mode TS.

Gap to Russell, 0.9.

Carlos, 1.4 behind.

Earlier lift into turn 3.

Switch position yellow.

Russell 0.7 ahead, Sainz 1.3 behind.

Russell 1.3, Carlos 0.9. We need to take care of tyres. Copy.

Sock six. Sock six.

And tyre phase update, please.

So, there I recover.

Oh, we've clipped off.

Tyres are ready. Russell 1.7 ahead. Sainz 0.8 behind.

Huge drop this lap, for whatever reason.

Carlos, can I overtake this lad?

Next car behind Verstappen, 2.0.

Engine braking plus one and careful on front saturation.

Verstappen 1-0. Stay aggressive.

Front A, back A, go sit.

Not really a window behind yet.

We need to stay out.

Yeah, I don't think the window is going to create at that pace.

And engine braking plus one again.

Charles, if we stop, we finish behind everyone. Then we need to make it through. Yeah, but are we faster than the last guy? It's like the front. Box, Charles, box. Box, Charles, box. Flap update. OK, thank you. Repeat.

Flaps 2.

Box, Charles, box. Watch the white line. Focus on pit entry.

Slow intro. You will finish behind the pack now. Norris behind.

Norris 1.1 behind. Focus on tyres.

Tyres is a priority. Save in the corners that we discussed.

Norris 1.5 behind.

Car ahead is Sainz, 2.2 seconds ahead.

Engine braking minus one and use right toggle.

Sock seven.

So we need to try fourth gear into turn seven. Fourth gear into turn seven.

Sock six. Sock six.

Strat A off.

Repeat, Charles. Plan A what? Plan A or B.

So it's plan A. We're looking at Perez who's out on hard and Groening on front right hard. So plan C is a possibility. For now we stay on plan A.

Fuck, we're gone.

Carlos, I have 38.2.

And we need secondary KC position 3. KC position 3. Avoid front saturation. Turn 7.

And we need more saving in 6 and 10.

Front saturation in turn 7 is very high. Focus on that, please.

Is that better? I cannot do any better than that.

Hamilton 0.5 behind, much better.

Carlos, 37.8. You did a 37.9.

And switch position. Yellow. We're still on plan A, but plan C possible. Keep it up.

Sainz 37.8.

These laps are better. Just losing in turn 5.

And this is the pace we are happy with.

Consider late downshift into next corner. Hamilton with DRS.

Norris complaining of front right graining. That will be the limitation.

Russell 7.5, Carlos 37.5.

And traction energy is now a bit too high. Be careful on traction energies.

Sainz, 37.5. You did a 37.2.

And this is really good. Other people opening up front right graining. Just keep doing what you're doing.

Copy. Just take care of that front right.

That's not very good. That's not able energy. I've got to do that to keep what you've done.

I'm happy with that. Just keep doing what you're doing.

1.1 to Carlos ahead.

So he's a bit of a phantom.

We will swap cars into next corner.

Nice. Amazing. He used his energy. He's heading to turn 5 now.

He's got it.

I'm killing my fault on these. Fucking stupid.

He will let you by now.

So Hamilton boxed, Verstappen boxed. You are now P2. Russell P1.

And sock six. So now the target is not killed at front right. I'll update you. Engine braking plus one. I think C is probably the way to go. Charlie. Copy.

So we're trying to extend for a tyre delta on Hamilton. Yep, yep, yep. But they are very quick people, this man. I think their pace is really strong today.

Russell, 37.9, 38.0. You're just as fast. You've been one of the best on front right braking.

Handbrake shape minus one to protect the front.

Russell, 37.5.

Norris, 39.0.

Come on, Charles. Are there tyres?

What? How's the tyre? Shit. I think it's quite slippery. There's so much braking.

And we're still staying out. Hamilton lap time 36.9.

Box, Charles, Box. Flap update. We should finish close to Carlos.

Err, flat tyre.

And watch the white line. Watch the white line. And box, Charles, box.

Carlos has been told to not overtake, but it's really close. He might be just in front.

He has been told to not put you under pressure. So just take care of your tyres.

Focus on your tyres.

Maybe try in Spanish.

So, do not push in the corners. Do what you did before. It's a long race. Do not grain that front right tyre. Yeah, but I'm not going to be too slow. I'm not going to be too fast.

No saturation in the corners. Front only limitation. Do I still have saturation?

It's good. It's good. Yeah, but tell me if I do something wrong, otherwise I can't stop myself.

It will be 16 laps to go. 16.

Hamilton 36.4. You did a 36.5.

We need to improve turn 7 and turn 10 saturation. A bit too high now.

Hamilton, 36.3.

And that was the fastest lap. Fastest lap for me.

Brake balance minus one. Should be good for turn 5.

Cap to Sainz 1.2.

Russell 36.4, Hamilton 36.2.

So, take care for another few laps before pushing.

You can try earlier rotation into turn 5. Only place where you're losing earlier rotation.

We need to keep saving in 10.11. It will be the fastest way to the end.

We are fighting.

No, we are not fighting.

We want to take care of the tyres and we'll do it later.

And saturation was too high this lap.

There will still be nine laps to go.

And still take care of saturation. It will be seven laps after this. Seven laps. Yeah, yeah. I think the saturation is getting dropped, so I think we're fucked.

Verstappen, no DRS.

Switch position, yellow.

Help me, Scott Jarvis. Help me fall.

Five laps to go.

Verstappen, no DRS.

Well done, Charles. Well done. Sock seven.

Sox 7 and Status 4.

Sainz 1.7, Verstappen 1.1.

Sock six.

Yeah, subcap is okay. Don't worry. I'll just bring the car home.

Two laps to go.

And he took the flag.

What's that second flag?

Charge button on.

Pick up, please.

Yes, whatever you want, as always.

Charles, you did your job. Okay, thank you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I did my job, but being nice fucks me over all the fucking time, all the fucking time. It's not even being nice, it's just being respectful. I know I need to shut up, but at one point it's always the same, so... Oh, my fucking God. Okay, but anyway, you did the right thing for the team. Yeah.

Land and pick up, please. Yeah, yeah, fucking pick up, what the fuck we want?

And the radio is on. I'm sorry, that was funny.

Where is McLaren at least? McLaren were P6 and P7. We finished P4, Sainz P3, Verstappen P5.

Yeah. How far was Russell equal?

So, Russell was 14 seconds ahead. 14.14.

Can we go in the pitlane? Copy.

And my bad for the first in. That was shit driving, that's what I was doing.

Ah, you were one of the fastest on the hard, so...

P0 when you stop.
