Ready to check? Yep. Copy. Copy. Just want to try that trick.

I don't think it's working very well. There's like air or something in it.

OK, Alex, tyres around us. Everybody on a new medium. Apart from Stroll just ahead of you on our left, on a used medium. And Hulkenberg, P18, on a new hard. Everyone else, mediums.

And limiter on.

Same as Vegas, it'll be go max on the form lap, go max.

Fifteen seconds.

Last five, go max.

Four burnouts, four. Target was good.

I'm massively hit by Stroll. Yeah, copy that. I check him.

OK, safety cars out.

I knew he was going to do it. I could tell.

I'll pass the pitlane close to you. Stay out, stay out.

If you get some free air on the straight, it might help us diagnose any issues, but pressures are okay.

OK, let's try and get the temps back from right mainly. Have you got any flat spots from your side? Any vibrations? A little bit, but it's not making them. Copy.

Just watch Stroll's onboard and see. I hope that he hit me on just tyre.

Stand out again. Go mode 7 when you can.

So that's twice past SC1, so it's not going to take long but I'll push to catch you back at the safety cam.

I can lean on the front right a bit more, that would be good.

The tyre metrics of this speed seem okay.

Floor-wise, all looks OK, but a little bit hard to tell at these speeds as well.

Staying out again.

So behind you is Stroll that pitted for the hard tyre and Hulkenberg also on the hard.

Safety car is in this lap. Confirm.

Thank you.

Okay, front tyre, if we can, well, I'm going to struggle to lean on now but front's just about out the window.

That switch is a good bar to go race. I'll let you know safety car is approaching SC1 now. I've got overtake available. I'm happy in the mode.

DRS enabled.

It would be nice to know about the car.

That's okay, pressure is on and floor is hard.

Turn four and five is good for us at the minute.

With the safety car, we're looking at plan A plus two currently.

If you could give us an update on the tyre switch and you can.

Yeah, I'm here. You're in Spanish.

You're sure everything's okay, yeah? From what we can see, if you can give me feedback from your side.

I think that might be wind-related, that last corner.

OK, window for the safety car now open. We can try and break over that now. Good to push on a bit if we can.

Filming the wind on the last lap. There is zero take.

OK, let's try and get in DRS range of Bottas now.

Is it really dusty or something? Because the rear is all over the place.

Turn width into two.

Potentially two and four, that tailwind with the wind.

Potentially wind affected to 24.7 at lap.

That's it.

Shut both windows. Safety car open. Looking at plan A plus four.

Tsunoda looks like he's struggling ahead of Bottas. Yes, I am.

They all killed wind related. It's wind.

That's Hulkenberg on the hard tyre, close to DRS range.

Focus in front.

Compared to Bottas, we're generally quicker from turn 4 onwards.

Look at that plan A plus 8 now.

18 laps completed. Update on the tyre switch when you can.

The drag is low but I'm pushing as hard as I can. I'm flat out.

Suggest mid 9 for turn 6.

How's the front left for you at the minute? Fine. It's a bit more relick. Copy.

2-4, I still casting. 2-4, I still casting. 2-4.

My battery is full when you need it.

I need to give you a driver default at some point, tell me when you've got capacity.

Yeah, yeah, copy. Blue default 2-0, OK. Blue default 2-0, OK.

He's got an early overtake behind him.

Gusty at 7 as well, last few laps.

Bottas pit. It's a seven second gap ahead of Tsunoda.

The plan is extending.

That's 25 laps completed.

Tyres are looking good. Looking to extend by a reasonable amount now.

The window for both safety cars is open.

There's Debris mid-track on the straight ahead of you.

Turn 26 to go. Hulkenberg is pitted for behind.

Just watch the kerbs, there's two punctures in the last lap.

Spin in front left.

How about some puncture ahead?

So, deg is low. There's 23 laps to go. I'm thinking of changing the tyre. The tyre choice. Stay out, stay out.

Let's see if we can go for softer 23 laps to go. Sights pit exit. I think he had the puncture as well. That's a safety car.

Driving on the delta.

I think one tenth down. OK, this will be soft tyre, Alex, it'll be 22 to go.

We just need to watch the front while the front left on the outlap should be okay. N1 turned down for the soft. Yep. Copy.

So close on the delta. It'll be soft tyre down one turn.

Close on the delta, SCU1, and then you can push parentary and exit.

OK, good to push to S2.

No foul on track.

And then we'll bring these tyres in nice and gently. So Hulkenberg now six back.

And the safety car will go through the pitlane next time around.

Has anyone gone soft?

So just weaving to bring the temperatures into the right window.

Don't drive in close to the delta. Hulkenberg's gone past SC1 twice, so he'll be pushing but he can't come past you.

HBP on.

So we're currently the only one on the soft tyres but there's some complaints from others being put on the hard.

There'll be 21 laps to go, so driving through the pitlane.

It should give you a good opportunity to get the tyres nicely bedded in.

OK, so driving through the pit, mate.

Positive on the delta, traffic through the pitlane.

Okay, and then once you're through the pitlane, then you can push to catch the safety car that's currently approaching turn 6.

So you should be good to catch the back of the safety car.

Let's just put it and go racing out.

There's a bad fog already on the front left.

And through the pitlane one more time.

Okay, temps are in good shape at the moment.

Airtime fixed.

Start with safety car. We'll use the main straight now. We've got two lap cars being released, so it should be the following lap we get going.

So the safety car should use a main straight this time.

Tyre temp wise we're looking good. And then once we're up and running, just need to manage 4-5-13. I know, but no one else is going to be needing to manage, that's the problem.

Warm up will be slow for them.

I can't manage to be on a soft tyre at the start of the restart.

Doesn't make sense.

OK, let's go back to go safety car just to top the pack up. Safety car will be in this lap.

So P13 and P19 to go, so it'll be P18 when you get around the next time.

I feel like a speed racer.

Tsunoda ahead. He's on a three-lap hard tyre. Magnussen, 11 laps on the hard.

OK, so the car's in front. We'll struggle on the hard. Let's make the most of this opportunity where we can. We'll do the best we can thereafter. So that's 19 to go. Safety car is pulling away, going through 15 now.

Package full.

You struggle with warm-up on the hard pitting on a hot car, so put it in go-race, you've got overtake if you need.

Let's pick him off early.

VSC, VSC, no overtaking. Close on the delta. Exit 15. Perez has stopped on track. Our car is so shit in the wind.

Copy that. Two cars gone off in the last two laps. Tyres have went maybe for a good restart. That's another safety car. That's another safety car, so I'll do the same again.

Staying out, maintain the temp.

So I think Perez fell off before the safety car came in.

I'm currently at P11 with 17 to go.

Check. Positive on the delta.

Both racing boards are pitted. Both pitted soft.

Quite a lot of vibration on my brake pedal.

It feels like the front left is grabbing.

Okay, try and get some decent stops. He will be twice past the line here, so it will be a case of push it to catch the safety car. You're on line asterno, but if we get some decent stops on the brakes, there we can. Hamilton just behind you.

So, looking good. So, looking good.

Hamilton, two seconds back.

OK, so Magnussen 14 laps hard, Zhou 6 laps hard ahead of you.

And the safety car is in this lap. Confirm.

So, if anything, these guys will struggle even more now with multiple laps under the safety cap.

OK, Verstappen backing people up. At some point it will be go race. Safety cars at turn 15.

From where you're being skidded.

OK, safety cars in the pitlane.

DRS enabled. Fourteen laps to go.

Okay, 13 to go, currently P10 and Norris has a 10 second stop and go penalty.

We're happy with management through 405. We're now P9 on track. Norris has served the penalty.

Suggest mid 10, gap behind at point 7. 11 to go.

Gap at point 8.

Looks like the wind has picked up again.

Gap at 0.5. You can overtake.

Sorry, eight laps to go. Bottas 1.8 behind on mediums. He's slow through 12th there.

Gap at 1.2. Obviously we get the rear overheating now. We take lifting coasts for that, but maybe not for the fronts. Maybe seven laps to go.

I've got some shift settings green, 10th position, 6th.

Bottas at point 8. Shifts green 10, position 6.

My left hand brakes.

We've been clean on track limits already so far. Clean on track limits.

OK, looks like we're degrading front wing and losing some front aero at the moment.

Fire's out.

Copy.

I know we're struggling now. Three laps to go. Tsunoda within 1.5. Slip out of one was good last lap, mate.

I'm going to take this lap back. I know it will be a very soft box, this lap, so I'm going to take it very soft.

Turn box is clear. We'll be 10 seconds short of penalty. I'm not allowed to start for 10 seconds like a penalty. I won't show this up. Copy.

Straight towards white line exit.

OK, you've got Leclerc pushing, Piastri, Russell. You have to let them go, blue flags.

So we're now on the final lap.

OK, please switch P1 position 12.

Go for insta-go down and HPP off.

Okay, switch is good. That's P15. That was a tough one at the end, but it was potential.

Yeah, it was a nice try.

Sorry, Alex. It was a little bit of a gamble to try and get us up there. Well done. I'll come back one more race.

It looks like we might have picked up some damage or degraded damage on the front wing after the contact with Magnussen. Just to add to some more issues but nice job, nice job today.

Yeah, thank you everyone. I know it's been a bit tough but let's try and win a good one.
