Radio check, Fernando. Radio check. Yeah, that's good. Diction, go ahead. Radio check, Fernando. Yeah, that's good from both of us.

Radio check, radio check. Yeah, all good.

So, Fernando, the wind has now dropped a bit. More like qualifying levels now.

Okay, Fernando Alonso, everybody is on medium except Hulkenberg P18 is on hard. So only Hulkenberg P18 on hard, everyone else medium.

Okay, there's only one bike point find when Mikey gives you the signal.

That's ten seconds, ten.

We should make a bit of a gap and then it's high speed weaving down to one. Lean on the tyres through 1-2-3 and a bit more weaving down before 4. Start was 15 over. 15 over.

A bit more weaving here and then a 50 metre lift before a good brake. Lean on the tyres but just look after the surface. And then just a 50 metre lift before 6.

50m lift before 7, then a good brake and you can lean on the tyres through 7, 8, 9. Just look after the surface in 9. Sides a bit slow ahead, but he's going now.

The cars ahead are pushing there, so high speed weaving to 12. Have a good brake before 12.

Good brake before 15.

And then front scrubbing down here on the racing line.

OK, mate. Seven burnouts. You'll do seven burnouts. K-0 button before you start.

That's Sever-Bernat's K0 before he starts.

Be careful with your grip box position.

And it's run, switch, race. One by point find. Back to neutral and first gear.

Oscar is on the grid now. And you're minus 10. Minus 10.

Safety car, slow down, get the delta positive. We will be staying out. Run switch to safety car.

So just keep the tyre temperature now, Fernando. And we're staying out. Staying out.

I think Hamilton is a false start.

I'll be back in a bit.

So just out one, Fernando, and we'll just out one.

And you can go to strat 7, strat 7.

You can't ignore that delta now.

I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90. I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90.

Keep working at front and at the front.

Keep up the good braking. Build the front tips up.

There is room to go hotter on the brakes if you can.

Cool will be better for the front temperature. Yeah, as long as you don't lock up. Yeah, cool is probably good.

Safety car is in this lap.

So it will be run, switch, race.

Fronts are coming back up a bit now. That's good. Keep doing what you're doing.

Verstappen going slow. Exit of 12. He's leaving the gap now.

Okay, so front switch, race, front switch, race.

Sergio is just entering last corner now.

I am there. The speed on the straight is worrying.

Can you use energy? Can you use energy?

I cannot fucking believe it, man. Two years with the same fucking problem on the straights.

One track limits, Gasly, turn 7. Copy, understood, copy.

Got lots of energy and you can go one or two clicks rear brake balance just for fighting.

OK, so Gasly ahead did get track limits for that turn 7, so keep letting me know. Hamilton's got a five second penalty for a jump start. Magnussen's P9, 2.8 ahead.

So we are happy with all the tyre management. Just a little bit bigger lift in 12 might pay back later.

We're happy to do a little bit more lift in coast. I think that'll be good for target points.

Maybe track limits last corner for Gasly.

Copy, we're on it, we're on it.

OK, that's a build-up of the lifted coast. Now, build up the lifted coast. It will help us later in the race.

MFA blue. MFA blue. Default A. 3-0. OK. MFA blue. Default A. 3-0.

Russell is coming out. Close to us. He's had a slow stop.

This is lap 24. We're at least to plan A. Plan A extended.

Russell now 0.9 but he does not have DRS. Let me know at aerobalance.

Feels ok maybe. A little bit more, I don't know.

Copied that. Copied.

I think we don't need to stop. We can go longer.

Russell has got DRS this time. Just keep doing the lift and coast. Keep doing lift and coast.

There is a bit of debris in the middle of the track at the pit exit. If you keep to your normal racing line, it's OK. Bit of debris in the middle of the track before pit exit.

Both safety car windows are open.

If you can, MFB black, MFB black, OBST position 3. MFB black, OBST position 3.

Repeat.

Yep, position 3. Position 3. We're in 4 now.

If you can, increase the lift of coast. Increase the lift of coast. There you go.

So Hamilton ahead has got a puncture. He's seven ahead of you.

The Hamiltons slow ahead.

There's also a Ferrari that's got a front left puncher as well.

Keep to the left. To the left. Keep to the left.

They finish the rubber or they touch each other? Safety gaff out there, Sergio. Slow down, get the delta positive. Run switch, cool. Run switch, cool. We think they've pushed the left front too hard. I'm going to go up 0.3 on the aerobalance. Can you take any more than that? Yes, yes. 0.3, 0.4. 0.4 is OK.

Do you do tyre green dryer? We are box and pitman. So make sure you... Copy.

Which is the pit entry, no? Good for it, yeah. So it's around turn 16. Safety car line 1 is just at the pit entry, where the bollard is.

And you can go back to race on the right switch for the right brake balance, correct the race.

Tire green, dry air spinnaker.

Ok, Fernando, just toggle the tyres. Switch tyre dry S and then dry R.

Sainz is on the left, so push the exit now up to save Tuganon 2.

And then once you come past it, you get your tail to back probably too soon. Yeah, check the Ferrari, they accelerate into the line. Yeah, watch out.

Maybe they were negative to overtake us. Yeah, exactly. We will find out.

So, Fernando, we are going to be going through the pitlane, following the safety cars through the pitlane.

We're happy with the cold, but just be careful while these tyres are cold.

Our front left was good, so our front left was good.

So, Fer, we're going to come through the pits. We think the medium will be a better tyre to the end, the one from Sprint Corley.

Voilà, don't feel so.

21 laps to go. Other people have been struggling on the hard. Warm-up will be difficult. We're considering it. So come through the pitlane anyway.

Yeah, I don't think so. To lose more positions, etc. I don't know. It's only two positions.

We are warming now the tyres of the safety car, I don't know.

Stop, Fernando. Box, box. And we'll change to the mediums. Box, box. Yeah? Yep. Box? Yep.

Select downslope. Careful.

OK, that's good for now.

We can ignore the delta.

Okay, so on the tyre switch you're going to go to dry S. Tyre switch to dry S.

We're coming through the pitlane again.

Remember, pit limiter, through the pitlane again.

And Fernando, you can do a tyre dry R now. Tyre dry R.

Which position are we? We're P10, Fernando, P10. Everyone ahead on hard.

I'm going to have MFB. Multi-function brake off.

The other Sauber, Bottas, was very slow on the heart. We only lost to Zhou there.

OK, so Fernando, we will be going, staying out this time, so the safety car will go on the pit straight.

So we've got room to keep working on the brakes. You can lean on them from the high speed.

I think for the restart it might be worth locking up the redefender just because of that extra aero balance we've added for later in the stint.

And safety car is in this lap. Safety car will be in this lap. Keep working on brakes.

So this medium is the same as we had in the sprint race. It's one lap less than the sprint race. Same fuel load.

How many laps left? At the end of this one it's 18 to go, 18.

If you can, lean on the front left.

I'll say Picaro is in this lap, currently.

Switches. Save the car, it's in the pitlane.

Virtual safety car. Virtual safety car. Slow down. We're staying out for plan A. Slow down. Run switch cool. So Perez has stopped on the exit of 15 on the left-hand side. So he's halfway between turn 15 and 16.

Perez has stopped on the left-hand side. Keep tyre temperature.

So it is now safety car? Yes, it's now safety car.

Hulkenberg is also off at turn 10 on the right-hand side. His WL is at turn 10.

It's currently 16 laps to go. 16 with P8 at the moment and you can ignore the downhill.

Safety car is in this lap. Safety car will be in this lap.

Verstappen is going slow now to make the gap to the safety car. He can go to race.

Safety car is exit 16. Safety car is in the pitlane.

DRS enabled. DRS enabled now.

HPP on. HPP on. We've had two track limits. We've had two track limits.

Norris ahead has had to stop for a penalty. He's affected P7 now.

Eleven laps to go. Eleven.

Eight more laps. Eight.

Another track limit probably for Ferrari. Copy, copy. Six laps to go, six.

Three more laps. Three more laps. You can go strat 6. Strat 6.

Two more laps. Two.

And one more lap. One more lap. Strat 5. Strat 5.

Use energy out of the last corner. Use energy out of the last corner.

OK, mate. Check a flag. Well done. P7.

Take the pick-up while the tyres are hot and then run switch warm-up.

H-P-P button off. H-P-P off.

MFB blue override.

MFP blue, override position 12.

And P0 when you can. P0, thank you.
