Eighty minutes. National Anthem starts in two minutes.

Sixty minutes to go.

Fourteen minutes to go. Fourteen.

Twelve minutes though. Twelve minutes.

Ten minutes to go. Ten minutes.

Eight minutes to go. Eight minutes. Mechanic, please check tyre blanket cords.

Ready to check.

Bias and diff for Laporte, what do you think? Plus two, plus two and 8.5.

B-Big, I leave it to you.

Yeah, copy. Six minutes to go. Six minutes.

Five minutes to go. Five minutes.

Three minutes to go. Three minutes.

OK, so we've got Hulkenberg in P18. He's the only car on hard.

Everybody else is on medium. Tsunoda behind you is new.

Stroll used, of course. Albon new. Lawson behind new as well.

Yeah, understood.

Two minutes to go. Two minutes.

One minute, twenty seconds.

One minute to go. One minute.

30 seconds.

Fifteen seconds.

Five seconds. Good luck.

And focus on weaving.

Leave here. And you were minus one and good to go for four burnouts.

Mate, this fucking Aston, what the fuck?

Check my car. Car's OK. All good at the moment. Safety car. Mode FSC.

Keep it positive.

I have this, again, lost the gear sync at the start. That's why I lost everything in turn 1. Copy that. Is my first gear synced or not yet?

Let me know once it's... Copy that.

Yes, it is. That's good.

Work on tyres.

So car ahead is Lawson and Bottas and Gasly. Watch for debris. Where are we? Currently P15.

Yeah, man. That was a shame. Start by trying to make that work. Copy that. Head down. The race is long. Brake warming on.

So, behind you, Stroll has pitted for hard and Hulkenberg is on hard again.

Keep working, O-Tyre. What's your feeling on plan C or plan B?

Focus on tyres. Your front right is a bit low.

Keep working your tyres.

And we are plan Bravo. Plan B.

OK. OK, tyres.

I keep working on tyres.

Safety car is staying out.

So keep working your tyres.

And you are doing very well on tyres. That's very good. Keep brake warming on.

Mode attack. We think mode F up to corner 4.

Safety car in this lap. Gap ahead is two seconds. You can close it.

That is a good close the gap to him.

Overtake available.

High speed 13.

And we are back to plan A. Gasly and Alonso are fighting. Be smart.

Understeer into jump quickly.

Copy that. We need 10% less energy on the front left there. We need to stay on the DRS.

It's a 40 footer. Alright.

Tsunoda and Magnussen are forming a train. Just walk...

Multi and protect front left. Corner 12-13.

And you were good on tyres. Just stay on DRS.

Alonso ahead is struggling.

And avoid the special 2 in corner 7. Alonso is pushing more in the ice pit. You will pay for that. Are you sure about this? Look.

It's on targets, it's on targets.

Overtake available.

That's good, but watch your front left corner 12.

I have no brakes, so high speed.

You are in the top 20 in this pit. You are actually too quick there. OK, but I have no brakes on the ATP. Copy that, we'll check it.

2-10-50, 2-10-40, no brakes, very long, very long, 2-10-50. That's knock-off. Car is OK. That's knock-off.

And target minus 10% energy is corner 12, M13.

EB8.

Tsunoda height is a problem.

Mode race. Good job.

Watch the front left in corner 12.

Sock 4.

YD104. Catch up, Alonso.

And you can push 5% more in corner 12 and 13.

We are on plan A, plus two, accordingly P12.

Just to let you know, we go up to P5. And also, it's good to do one more than one, do you know? Copy that.

High speed turn.

And you can push more in corner 12-13. 10% more.

Last sector. I have limited width of brakes. No brakes. It's good, but it's not good. Not good at all.

AB12 from corner 4 onwards.

I don't want to go higher on EP. I'm struggling a bit with starting. Very lucky.

Should I go sock 5? I don't know.

Sock 5 confirmed.

And we think plan B. And 26.6 if you can. Ok, I think so too.

There's a tent to find in corner 14 and 15. Apex speed. Sock 7.

Safety car window open.

High speed 9.

And you can push 10% more in the high speed. A couple of tenths to find that.

Green time loss is corner 40.

MFB, ERS, position 12.

Sock 4. Sock 6. Sock 6.

That's a good lap. Keep pushing.

And we are on plan B plus three.

Try special 1, corner 7.

Priscilla had a new heart.

Consider special 1, corner 6 to 10. Main time loss is corner 14.

I think that was more grip than I thought it was.

I have water splashes behind me.

The aeroballast is not too bad. Copy that.

We are on plan B plus four.

It's getting a warp up at the issue on the right. Yeah, we saw that.

And there's a tenth to find in corner 14.

Plan B plus five.

I feel good, mate. Yeah, we see that.

EB8.

Good lap times.

Fernando, 26.0. You're doing great.

Just think about the next tyre when you deal with the club. The beginning was not too bad, but we think no adjust? I think no adjust.

What people are doing on hard!

I think no adjustment.

I know, but I watch people doing all the hard compounding at the moment.

And watch for debris start finish line.

You're happy with 5, sub 5?

Are we doing faster than the hard?

Yes, you are faster than you are. Good, let's stay open. Copy that.

And watch for debris. Start finish line.

I have understeer at turn 80.

It's a mirror in the middle of the track.

And Fernando ahead, same lap time as you. You're doing great.

Fernando, 25.7.

And increase E-B from corner 12 to 16.

There's a tenth to find in corner 14.

Safety car window is open. Hamilton ahead has a puncture. We think for debris.

Is it for what? Debris. For debris, yes. You caught the debris and now you've got a puncture ahead.

Racing line is best line.

White corners, especially.

Stay on the racing line, on the straight. The debris is on the straight.

Socks 6.

Safety car.

Wind is open.

Keep your delta positive.

Reset tools.

You think some people will be here behind us?

Is this good for us or not? That's good for us. And we are boxing. Box for hard, no flap adjust.

Special off. Box, box.

Push-up at exit. That's good. Keep it positive and start working on tyres. Weave.

Default delta 53.

Delta 5-3, can you repeat, mate? Delta 5-3, correct.

End your countdown switches.

Work the tyres.

I need now the race trace, mate.

Through the pitlane, safety car through the pitlane.

I will currently be 10. Ok, but what's the thing behind in front? More details, come on guys.

You think we should go... If we box the gap for medium, do we get... lose a lot of positions?

You're currently P9. This is our best chance. Just build temperature on tyres.

Alonso behind you is on medium and Magnussen behind him is hard new.

Work the tyres as much as you can.

I'm trying. It's quite sketchy. Copy that. Just work your tyres. They're still a bit low.

And safety car will go through the pitlane again.

And mode SC. Through the pitlane.

And if we can do a bit more on tyres, passing through the pitlane doesn't help.

What did you say? You can work more on tyres, because passing through the pitlane doesn't help.

Yes, but I'm going to watch your circle. Yeah, yeah, let's go, let's go.

Safety car will take the start-finish straight now.

They are currently letting the lapped cars through. Are you happy with pedal 7 or pedal 8?

Keep pedal seven and work your tyres.

This Mercedes is taking the piss. It's leaving too much gap. We are safe to go.

Safety car in this lap. Focus on tyre prep. You can wave more.

With B-mode F to restart.

EB6. EB6 confirmed. You're good on tyres.

Tyres are good. You can push them more. Close the gap to carry her ahead.

It's very good. Stay close. Car is good.

Safety car still lights on, no?

Parents spun ahead. No damage, no contact. Safety car is in.

VSC, mode SC, keep it positive and work your tyres. So there's a crash in corner 10, that's Hulkenberg and Perez is also stopped before corner 16.

Safety car.

My tyres have no grip!

Everyone is on hard. And what can I do? Get more backs in last corner. Like a sitting duck, man.

And you're P9.

I know it's silly, but you need to work more with your tyres, more with them.

So, Fernando is opening gap just to push more on the high speed. We need to stay close to him.

Escape for vehicle.

So, Tsunoda and Lawson have stopped for soft. Albon, two cars behind you, is on soft. The car behind you is Magnussen on hard. Alonso ahead of medium. I will lap soft. So, Albon is five laps old, soft, and Tsunoda and Lawson just stopped for soft. But they are way behind you. Brake warming on. Cool rear brakes.

It's critical we keep the gap to Alonso ahead. Stay close to him.

Want a safety guy in, let me know. Copy that.

We keep the same boats.

Correct. We are doing the same with the modes.

So we think for the restart will be mode race and overtake.

And safety car in this lap.

Work your tyres and keep...

Keep the gap tall, Alonso. Stay close to him.

You're in a good mood. Car is good. Stay close to Alonso.

Overtake available.

Albon behind is on soft. 14 laps to go.

High speed 13.

Push on high speed. We need a DRS.

High speed 13.

Alonso 25.5

Leave me alone, mate. I'm a fucking pussy.

Driver default, delta zero zero.

It's good lap time. Sock six. We will use it later.

And you can use special 1 in corner 7 for the entry snap. Gap to Albon behind is 3.5 seconds. You are faster everywhere.

Eight laps to go. Car behind is Magnussen, four behind you. You're quickly everywhere apart from corner 14.

What position are we fighting for? We are B8.

I have no brake stance. Come on, man. Come on. Try to fix it. Copy that. Magnussen, four behind you.

You're doing great.

Magnussen 24.5.

Safety car window is now closed.

Entry minus one. EB10. Magnussen 4.2 behind you. Six to go.

Magnussen is four and a half behind you. I don't need this gap every lap.

Four laps to go.

Sock full.

Three laps to go.

You want sock four, you happy with this? Sock four? Two laps to go.

I understand Sox 3 but not before braking, please.

Use overtake.

And you are P8. Great job, mate. Great job. That's for you. That's your day. Driver of the day. Amazing. Mode ends. Take the pick-up. Take every little bit of rubber on the track. Well done. Well done. What a weekend. Alessandro for Joe. You write a page of our history of this season today. Thanks to you. All the people in Inville here are happy. You've done a great job. It's a big reward for our people, for everyone working together this season. Thanks, Joe. You must be proud. Thank you from everybody of us. Thank you.

Yes, I would say, let's fucking go! Come on, guys! Come on! Oh my god, what a race, man, what a race. Thank you for everything. It was good, it was good. The car was mega. The start was a shame, I think, but I'm really happy for you guys. I said I would make up for it, I will make up for it. Thank you. Great reaction, great reaction. That was mega. Take the pickup. Happy birthday, Xavi. Happy birthday, my friend. Ole!

Vamos!

By the hard tyre at the end, the race starts. I was suffering.

So it's Verstappen, Leclerc, Piastri, Russell, Gasly, Sainz, Alonso, yourself, Magnussen, Norris in P10, Bottas P11. Is that my best finish in F1? Maybe. Not sure.

You... You watched your best.

I remember full switch-off.
