Radio check.

Katsu, is entry 9 correct or is it entry 8? Should be entry 8.

Five minutes to formation lap.

Three minutes.

So, tyre-wise, everyone from P1 to P14 is on medium tyres. Perez is starting on hard tyres from P15. And only soft starter is P16, Alonso.

Two minutes.

75 seconds. Fire up.

One minute.

Forty-five seconds.

Byte point find. 25 seconds.

Fifteen seconds.

Five.

Clutch was one percent deep.

Keep working those tyres. Just a reminder, the T water 98 is your target.

50% throttle.

And we'll be coasting from the 100m pit entry board.

Then five burnouts starting at the safety car one line. Final burnout, P7, Tsunoda.

And happy with Strat 6.

The last car approaching the back of the grid.

Leclerc, point seven.

Gap behind one second.

So Leclerc at point 8 has DRS. He was doing less management turn 10 last lap.

Gap one second.

Gap 1.1 and green at 13, position 4.

That was matching Leclerc turn 10.

So, information, Leclerc finding four tenths on the straight down to 14 with DRS.

Gap 0.8.

Gap now 0.9, pushing a little bit more here.

Gap 0.7. Gap 0.7.

Gap 0.8.

Gap 0.8.

Gap 0.6.

Strat 13 available.

Gap 0.7. Gap 0.7.

Gap 1.1. I think we picked up a little bit of debris on the left-hand side of the floor. May have cleared this lap.

Gap 4.3.

Still happy with what you're doing on tyre management here.

Gap now 1.3.

Sainz is putting DRS on Leclerc now.

So, George, seeing signs of graining on other cars, Hulkenberg on that medium has opened up his fronts.

Sky-Red, Sky-Blue, Red. Sky-Red, Sky-Blue, Red.

Still got scope on dip entry. I wish to protect that. And take middle. And hit middle.

So, Sainz, our car behind. 2.7 second loss.

So, suggestion is to keep using that D-rate button or Strat 6. I'll leave it to you.

So, gap behind now 3.7, so this is good pace over both the Ferraris. Leclerc is falling back into Verstappen, currently doing 38.9 last lap.

So Verstappen now ahead of Leclerc and 1.8 behind Sainz.

George, if you want to look after rears more, we would suggest turn 3 management.

I recommend Strat 7.

So Leclerc has pitted. Verstappen doing 39.8. These are very good lap times.

So Verstappen now a car behind eight seconds.

Sainz has pitted now as well.

So, George, still target minus one. Just keep doing what you're doing, though. We'll keep

Verstappen pitted.

Let me know how these tyres are. They've got some more laps in them. They are definitely dropping. A bit of a target, it's okay.

Yeah, we think safe thing though to keep the position ahead of Verstappen, not come out on top of him.

Green 13. Position 3. Box, box. Default flap adjust.

Box, box, eyes on the white line, on pit entry.

Reset diff entry. Diff mid will be clear on exit. Outlap normal.

Expect tyres to come in by turn 6.

Just introducing... I'm behind one.

Verstappen, lap 1, hard tyre, 38.3.

Posture entry on my delta. Plus my delta.

Plus point two.

I have green 13, position 4.

Verstappen lap 2, 38.4. He's two seconds behind Perez now.

Let me know if I need to push.

We are happy where we are currently. It may be a bit conservative. Sainz 37.9 is the fastest hard runner currently.

Verstappen car behind nine seconds.

So, front right of that first medium set was very clean.

Verstappen, 38.6. So that is a good lap time there, mate.

Still very happy with what you're doing on the management here.

Verstappen, 38.1. Lewis was a 37.1. He was battling quite hard.

So Perez has just pitted off those hard tyres. He was dropping. Managed 17 laps.

Could you just keep me posted what you want me to do in turn 10-11? I'm still managing a lot there.

Green 3, position 2.

So, just keep eeking out this gap to Verstappen. Happy to eek out the, sorry, use turn 11 for that.

Just repeat the message. Happy to reduce some of the management. Turn 10, turn 11.

Max was a 38.0 last lap. We'll just keep eking out the gap to him.

If we can just find another couple of seconds to him, that gives us a safety car buffer.

Verstappen, 37.7.

I don't think it's going to be easy to get this tyre to...

Yeah, copy that George. Same for everyone.

Verstappen, 37.9.

Verstappen, 37.6.

Verstappen, 37.7. Update on wind. Looks stable at the moment.

And DiffMid 5 would provide more late entry stability.

Verstappen, 37.5, both McLarens grained from rights on the hard tyre.

Main lap time loss to Verstappen is only braking point turn 12.

Verstappen, 37.7.

Can I have a race picture? Ferrari's.

So currently Verstappen is our main threat. Both the Ferraris are battling with Lewis at the moment. We are seeing front graining on the hard tyre, so it is susceptible to graining.

Pace-wise, yourself, Verstappen, the Ferraris, Lewis, very similar. McLarens are struggling.

Verstappen was a 38.0.

Piastri has just pitted off that hard tyre.

Understeer creeping up turn 12.5.

Yeah, scope to come down to factory there, if it helps.

And negative diff magic also available. Turn 12.

Verstappen, 38.4.

Let me know if you want to increase management.

No transcript available

So, we're happy to stay where we are currently on the management. The front brakes just started to open a little bit on the inside shoulder. Coming in front.

I have to watch out for Ferrari.

15 seconds to the Ferrari and starting to see signs of Verstappen dropping to here.

Verstappen in, Sainz in and Lewis in.

Yeah, I think we need a box.

Sir Sainz did stay out but he crossed the pit entry line in doing so and obviously Leclerc is still out. He's 15 seconds behind. Just keep doing what you're doing here.

George, recommend earlier lift turn 11. Not a bigger lift, just earlier.

So, Sainz has now pitted and Leclerc's tyres are looking quite bad.

So, we'll be plan B here.

I can hold the pace for the time being. Yeah, I agree.

Twenty-one laps remaining.

Brakes are bad at turn 1.

So, currently got 16 seconds to the Leclerc car behind. So, I only need to know when you think this tyre has dropped and you're going to be losing big chunks of lap time next time around. Yeah, we need to keep an eye on the lap time, so remember the field is OK. This is day 37.6.

Yeah, AFR, Leclerc, currently doing 38.0.

Now, George is confirming default flap adjust when we do turn. 1.3. Copy.

Leclerc, last lap 38.5.

Right, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left

So there's 19 laps remaining. There's 19 laps remaining. Just completing lap 19 on this circuit.

And Leclerc in the pit now.

So, Lewis, now car behind. Lewis, now car behind to our race will be with.

Green at 13 position. Green at 13 position. Green at 13 position. Green at 13 position. Green at 13 position. Green at 13 position. Green at 13 position. Green at 13 position. Green at 13 position.

Eyes on the white line. On entry.

Reset diff entry. Diff mid.

Out that normal track is clear.

Gap to Lewis. Twelve and a half seconds with 17 laps remaining at the end of this one.

And that stint was 20 laps.

So, information George, if there was a safety car, we would only have the soft tyre to go to. Yeah, we're safe. Your condition is key.

Lewis, start times.

You started off pretty quick, now doing 37.0.

Lewis, 37.3.

So just remember, discipline on this tyre whilst you're introducing it.

And green 13, position 4. Green 13, position 4.

George, happy to reduce turn 10 lift.

And wear on the hard tyres, very low.

So, Lewis pushing hard now. 36.4.

Most of that, turns 5 to turn 8.

Just you tell me what you want me to do. I'm still managing in those corners.

So, we're happy to reduce the management here, only to manage turn 10 or 6.

Lewis, last lap, 36.3.

The temperature is stabilising now. Happy to start matching times that Lewis is doing.

My dash is tilted and seems to be updated. We can't undo it. 8.3

And happy now to go flat to 10.

At Lewis, 36.2.

Main lap time loss. Exit turn 3 compared to Lewis.

Lewis, 36.2.

So, eleven laps remaining. Valtteri Carahead, five-lap hold, hard tyres, flat marker.

And reduce management to turn 11 now.

Lewis, 35.9.

It actually has blue flags.

Lewis, 36.0.

So, we've got nine laps remaining. No need for any tyre management now. I'll just keep giving you Lewis his lap times.

Gap to Lewis. Six seconds. Last lap 35.5.

What's the race pitch going to look like on the last lap?

So, Lewis, last lap was 35.9. We need to be doing at least 36.2 every lap to keep it boring.

So seven laps remaining. Gap behind to Lewis. Five and a half seconds. Just need to make sure he's not more than half a second lap faster than us each lap.

This last lap, 35.9.

And third gear, turn one, will give us more energy.

Lewis, 35.7.

So, George, just keep picking up the pace here. Just keep this gap where it is to Lewis.

Knobs remaining. Five when you cross the line.

Lewis, 36.0.

Four laps remaining. Lewis reporting front right starting to open.

Lewis, 35.9.

So I'm sure you saw him, but Ocon just exited the pits on soft tyre, expecting him to go for fastest lap attempt.

Can we please have a look at Lewis? Lewis struggling a lot more now with the front right.

He's dropped over six tenths of a second. Three laps remaining. Three laps remaining. Three laps.

Looked like Lewis just spiked that front right over our limits one lap.

So Lewis, 37.1.

Two laps remaining. Strat 5. The end. Seven seconds.

Lewis was a 37.5.

Vegas, baby! Woo-hoo-hoo! Vegas! Viva Las Vegas, baby. Viva! Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Oh, boys, again! Wow! Come on! Well done, mate. Superb drive today. Faultless. We'll have lots of pick-up. Green 1, position 12. Strat 14. Brilliant work. Great work. Oh, what a weekend. Give me that switch change again. Green 1, 14. What a weekend. Oh, my God. This feels good. We're going out tonight, guys. We are going out tonight. Green 1, position 12, please. We are going out. Out on the strip.

Can't wait to get you that tattoo, Marcus!

And congrats to Max for giving me one. George, let's have a drink tonight in Las Vegas. In Los Angeles, I mean. Toto, I'm staying in Vegas. I'm staying in Vegas. I think then maybe I need to stay in Vegas too.

So, we'll be coming around onto the grid. They'll stop you there. And then they'll pick you up and take you around to the Bellagio.

I just want to say there's a really big thanks to everybody who worked so hard to bring new parts to the car. I know we had a tough couple of races, but this is, it was so amazing to give this victory for everyone.

Yeah, I'll second that.

So just a reminder, coming around onto the grid.

I'll see you in the casino later.
