Speed in neutral, please. Not in neutral yet.

OK, cleared for takeoff. However...

Select first, please.

Ready? Sun, sun, sun, sun. Watch the light, remember. Watch the light. If it's red, you need to stop.

Nico race.

That's Bottas ahead, gap 1.3.

Mode 7. Reverse enabled.

Bottas 0.5, he's currently 0.7 with DRS on stroll.

0.6 to Bottas, 0.8 to Stroll.

Gaphead 1.1, 1.1.

Green 11, position 6, please. Green 11, position 6, gap at point 9. There's a group of cars up to P40 and Alonso on soft. Alonso was lapping at 40.1. They're currently matching his pace.

That's on the edge of losing DRS, because this gap is 1-0 to Stroll.

I'm not using edgy yet.

Bottas still without DRS. Gap to him is 0.8. I'm trying to aim 0.5.

So P14 Magnussen is lapping quicker than you, especially in sector 2, four tenths.

Feedback on tyres please. I see a chance to use 4th in turn 1. 4th turn 1.

It's very oversteery. Very oversteery.

Can you tip me if needed?

The current Bottas has lost DRS. He's 1.6 to Stroll, so keep close to him and we try and attack next lap.

Ace to be closer to him. So don't overshoot entry corners, turn one, turn five. Just get back close to him.

Aim is to target overtaking to 14, mate. Not turn 1, OK?

Gap 1.3.

Gap 1-0. Just steady laps. We'll catch him. He's still 1.5 from Stroll.

First cars of the queue. P4, P13, Lawson, P39, P4, medium. Medium starters are starting to grey.

4,000.7

Q, do a good last corner. Turn 12. Try early overtake.

That's P8. Right quick flick for stability, turn 1 available.

And manage more turn 4, manage more turn 4.

Alex has pitted. He's more free ahead of Bottas.

So, Bottas six tenths. With a good turn 12, we can try early overtake to take him. Focus exit.

Ok, now Bottas in DRS range of Magnussen. Just keep pressure on him. Try to recover the energy.

Our first car behind you is Sainz, Leclerc and Norris. We are racing these cars. It's a dangerous train. They will struggle to overtake. Stay in that train.

Be careful with the energy users. No mistake. Steer that train. Send 1.2 behind.

OK, just for the quicker cars around you, the Ferrari and the McLaren. If they want to overtake you, they have to go offline. Stay online. Protect your tyres, OK?

It's going to be a bit of a fight between you, Bottas, and the quicker car. Maybe use that to get Bottas. That's to be clever. Protect your tyres.

Thirty-eight to go, thirty-eight.

Okay, you can go deep mid 6 if that's preferred. Safety car and VSC are open.

I can have blue 13, position 12, please. Blue 13, position 12. Let's keep putting pressure on Bottas. Gap 0.7. Pierre Njutsunoda, 2.6. You're doing good.

Feedback on tyres when you have capacity. Not a good attempt.

Bottas complaining of front grating. Gap 0.6. Tsunoda 0.2 behind.

Happy to race hard. Tsunoda, Gasly, Alonso, Guanyu, race them hard.

OK, 36 to go. Tsunoda 0.3, Bottas 0.6.

Press HPP. Keep the manual up. Some report of graining on hard. Gasly 0.5 behind, 7 up on 9 ahead.

Turn up on 9 ahead. Gasly on 7 behind. Doing good. Clean laps, no mistakes. Careful not going wide turn 1. First car behind, you know Alonso. Gap 1.1.

Back on balance when capacity.

Not good. It's like a lot of braking error. A lot.

First lap behind 1.0. Alonso, Alex, don't lose time with Alex. You can think about using deep mid for the greening.

I need to think. I feel really stinked.

Box, box, box, box. Watch out for the white line.

Otis, Box in Franco. One down, please.

Copy, pitlane, left stop. Use the two tools, first gear, foot on brake, watch the light.

Clamped exit, clamped exit.

Keep the management up, especially opening laps. Graining reported on all compounds. So keep management up.

When you box me, I have finally seen error. Heads down, heads down. Trust us, please.

Okay, so you're in free air. Stroll five ahead, Magnussen three behind. Management is good. Keep the pace high, tune up, Magnussen, get closer.

Lap time target I-38. Green 11, position 5, please. Green 11, position 5.

Marko, let's go to torque.

Stroll ahead 38.7, 38.7.

Reset your tyre switch to D1. Confirm you want less torque. Question.

Par. Par rotation. Copy. Link to P5.

Torque 11. Torque 11. More rotation. Torque 11. Strollerhead 38.6. Magnussen 5 behind. You're good.

OK, just turn 1. Watch out braking point going too deep, pull tyres exit, please. Turn 1. Stroller head 38.4.

OK, we are happy with the pace and tyre management. Feedback on balance please and flap.

I will go up on flap.

OK, last lap, Stroll 38.4. Watch out turn 1 and 5, so inconsistency between how much you push on entry and the exit. Better to try to optimise exit, don't push too hard the entries.

OK, Stroller, last lap, we're 38.5. Can I have green 10, position 3, please? Green 10, position 3.

OK, that's 27 to go, 27.

I can hit green 10 position 3, please. Green 10 position 3. Base is good. Stroll 3.6 ahead. This last lap was a 38.6.

OK, wind still some direction but down a bit. Can I have blue 10, position 1? Blue 10, position 1. Stroll maybe struggling at 2.2. He lost contact with Ocon.

Remember, your start 2 is going to be dirty, so watch out for your front axle.

Oscar Piastri 1.2, Stroll ahead 1.2. We're not racing Piastri.

ESP 1.6 behind. Going for the warm-up pace.

Box, opposite to Stroll. Box, box, opposite to Stroll. Opposite to Stroll. And Otis boxing Franco up one. Up one.

Copy pitlane. Light stop. Use your tools. First gear. Full-time brake.

That's mode 5. Outlap critical. Remember, let the module drop. Mode 5. Clear on pit exit.

Mode 5, mode 5.

And we think Stroll will try to cover up. So, critical outlap. Everything you have.

Godefend. Godefend. For plant.

Okay, so Stroll, straight out, straight out, radio problem. So keep doing what you're doing, but be careful about your tyres for graining. Watch out tyres for graining. Go back in my environment.

Mode 7, please, mode 7. Watch out your tyres.

Go, race, go, race. What a kerbstand 60.

Lap time target LOC 39.

Just confirm 21 to go. 21 to go. Your first tint on hard was 16 laps. You're down three.

Correction on the LAPTOP target, LOF 38, please LOF 38.

OK, Bottas at 39.4, gap 2. If we get close to him, we'll have the delta pace to pass him. Just need to manage the tyres. Sector 1.

Ok, we can have Bottas next lap.

Green 11, position 3. Green 11, position 3. Next lap, watch out for two tyres sliding in sector 1. Just get close enough to him and we'll get him for routine, okay? You have the pace. No mistakes.

Bottas, P9. Remember, no mistake. Manage the sliding. Set to 1. Just get close enough to him. Exit 12.

Okay, focus on exit on 12, push and hold exit on 12.

Bottas, point five push on goal.

Okay, good job, good job. Keep managing your tyres. You're doing good. Make sure you manage your tyres. 18 to go. Let the pack come back.

Okay, lap time target, mid 37, mid 37.

This lap is on target. Doing good, mate. Keep the time management.

Pace is good. 15 to go.

That's really strong laps. Keep what you're doing. Good job mate, good job. 15 to go.

If you want to protect rear on entry, brake balance forward.

14 to go. Auto group. Auto group ahead is 4.8. Some cars has pitted, some has not. Just focus on driving and feedback later, ok?

If you need to settle the car, to stabilise it, suggestion torque 12.

Yeah, but this must be a drift race. If you are PMAP, you can leave Park 5. Where am I on threshold?

Cars are fighting ahead. They have a slow exit. Catching a van is quickly an opportunity. Just be careful. Sliding sector 1.

Russell, it's struggling on old art, you can get them.

Still a bit far from Magnussen point seven, so don't use energy now.

Lausanne was lapping in 4.7. You're four seconds quicker.

Expect LOSAN to pit, expect LOSAN to pit.

And Magnussen ahead on nine laps all the hard. Watch that sliding sector one.

Focus, exit, turn 12. Push and hold, exit, turn 12. Focus, exit, push and hold.

OK, so I don't view Magnussen gap 1. Let's just recharge the pack. Get the tyres under control. You will have DRS on Ocon. I'm struggling. 39.5. All hard.

10 to go, 10 to go. Let's just prepare the pass on Ocon, manage your tyres sector 1.

Okay, Ocon, do not have DRS, so you have an early overtake with no push and all. Try to use early now.

Focus exit 12.

Okay, good job. Next up, Magnussen 1.8. Next up, Magnussen 1.8. You'll have to take some recharge. Ocon should be okay on all tyres.

Okay, Franco. Turn 12. Let's try the next laps when you catch Magnussen to focus on exit practice. Exit turn 12.

Just the keys to find the right line and the right driving for managing the best exit turn 12. Sometimes exit 14 is poor, so I need to improve for passing.

And that's 8 to go when you have the capacity. Tyre switch feedback. Currently P13, racing Magnussen for P12.

Okay, Franco. 7 to go. Magnussen on 9 laps older than you. Let's be clever, maybe we can get him. We have the pace advantage.

Magnussen 0.7, I'm going to reduce, Magnussen 0.11, I'm going to reduce, come exit turn 12 and push and hold, push and hold.

OK, too far for Magnussen. No energy usage.

Just get focus on keeping the tyre close enough to him. I'll let you know when we're good on park again.

Five to go, five to go.

Let's try to use anti-overtake into turn 1, turn 5 and turn 12 this lap.

That's anti-overtake into turn 5 and into turn 12, please.

OK, Magnussen 1.9 now. Let's try to catch him back. Zhou 1.7. Just some fresher bananas. And happy to reduce management turn 1. 4 to go, 4 to go.

Kevin Magnussen, 2.2. Zhou behind, 0.9. Sunstrike, clean lap, focus ahead. Just let you know if you're in danger of Zhou. Don't worry about him right now. Just clean lap, no mistake.

Just please watch out. Full speed exit turn 12. Quite a lot on this lap.

Okay, so you'll have to potentially defend on ZUK at point 7. If it's too close to you, later we'll take it to 14.

Watch out, Zhou. Potential late overtake.

Okay, that would be two laps to go. Zulip on five.

Early overtake, exit on 12, to defend from Zou. Early overtake, exit on 12. Focus on exit.

Early overtake. Gap hold 5.

We have to defend into turn 1. Watch out, gap on 3. Mode 5, mode 5.

Okay, left to defend. You're at bottom of the pack. You should not have using 21 and 25 and you're defending.

Okay, taking the flag. After the flag, if you go in, you can press HBP, go that.

So you go that, go that, blue 1 position 12, blue 1 position 12, pick up rubber please.

Press HPP and blue one position 12, please.

Copy. Ok, thank you.

It's a shame we tried with Magnussen. Maybe that was a bit aggressive and we had to pay the price. On Zhou, using that second overtake to turn one was not needed. And that cost us, we were bottom of the pack and sitting dirt on that last lap. We're learning. These things to learn on engine management, my friend. But we're learning. I think the race was solid. Good tyre management. Good work on that, definitely. And I put the other car in the window to protect the greening was good on that last tint.

Yeah, yeah, I killed my fronts. They are trying to attack Magnussen. They were going into corners.

Yeah, I also need progressive there.

But I think we have to try, so...

Well, Franco, I think it's a good recovery from where we are today. There's a lot of learning on, certainly, how to use those front tyres. And we've still got two more races to go. So, well done on the recovery. I'm looking forward to finishing the season.

We need to increase full load. Increase full load, please.

Thank you for all the efforts. I know how hard this race has come.

I think today is starting from where we should have started. We have been in a better position, but it's crazy.

It's crazy. We will also have a struggler next week. Thank you guys.

Thank you, mate. Especially happy you were OK today. Fit to race, I thought that's a strong chute. It was good driving today, mate.

OK, so when you park, remember, switch off fully the car, switch off fully the car. Jump out, steer back on and go away to your cell. First thing, please.
