Radio check, Gary. Radio check. Loud and clear, Nico. Seven minutes till we go.

So, you put on a little bit, yeah? Yep, 0.2.

Five minutes, Nico.

OK, Nico. All cars are on medium with the exception of Hamilton. P16 is on hard.

And it's two minutes until we go two minutes.

Nico, multi-function A, grip 10. Grip 10 when you can.

Confirm for burnouts and reset big adjuster.

Mode push. Mode push.

Okay, good job, Nico. There's a yellow between 9 and 11 for Perez. Stopped on the right-hand side at 10.

VSC and VSC get plus positive on delta time. Positive on delta time. So Perez is stopped at turn 10. Single yellow 9-10 and double yellow between 10-11.

Okay, you're currently P5. You have Alonso behind P6 and Kevin behind in P7. Then Leclerc, Stroll.

You've got Russell and Gasly ahead. So, single yellow and then double yellow between 10 and 11.

The car is clearing quickly, so be ready for a restart. It'll be mode RS for the restart, and then back to push.

Let me know when it's... Yep.

Still BSC.

They're still clearing Perez's car, so it's still a yellow.

Track is clear.

VSC ending. VSC ending. Mode push or mode RS.

I need to push quite a bit at high speed, not to be vulnerable. Understood, Nico.

Deg is low still for everyone, Nico, and people are talking about extending.

I don't know. I don't feel necessarily the same. Understood.

If you can help us at all at turn 3 and turn 14, that'd be good. Gasly's saving a lot at 3 for info.

We're going 23.40, so very understeering.

Yeah, copy that, we see it.

14. Sliding was good. The only thing that might help 14 would be more EB.

Do you see how difficult overtaking is with the... Yep, see ya.

At low speed the balance is pretty neutral towards oversteer.

Copy that, Nico. Deg is on. Good deg, good deg. Speak up at high speed. I don't hear you on the straight. Deg is what? Deg is still low for everyone. Deg is low. Yep. But you need to speak up. You're very quiet.

Alonso behind, ran wide. Leclerc is pressuring him now.

The car behind is now Leclerc.

Same thing for B. Same thing for B. It doesn't feel that great.

Yeah, copy that Nico, understood. But obviously track position is pretty detrimental.

What's going on behind Leclerc?

Alonso three behind and he's under pressure from Verstappen. Verstappen also has a ten second time penalty.

Verstappen 1.7 behind.

Give me an update on what's going on. Like, what's the plan?

What do you think about plan B, Nico? Is it at all possible? Kevin just boxed early.

It may be possible, but it looks like we have more deck than other people. OK, understood, so Verstappen 1.5 behind, Alonso 3.5 behind. Kevin's already boxed. Yeah, I see. You know, front right doesn't look that great. Understeer is picking up. Copy. How much would you take for a hard?

I think just do the default now. Maybe a bit more.

Copy that. Box now, Nico. Box now.

No battle at the exit, so we can do a gentle introduction. Alonso boxed with you.

Okay, Nico, mode push. Alonso five behind just boxed and Kevin boxed a lap earlier but he had a slow stop. Kevin is eight behind.

We added 0.4 and we can bring this tyre in gently in this situation. Copy.

Gasly boxing now, but he should be four ahead.

Okay, that's due in ahead on race start medium. Gasly's just going around him. So Gasly is four ahead on same hard as you.

Think about EB8 for the intro.

Doing ahead 15 laps old medium. Gasly stuck behind Tsunoda.

Gap behind update.

Okay, gap 2. Alonso is 5 behind and then Stroll 7, Kevin 8. So Alonso 5 behind.

Alonso doing similar lap time. Gasly is around Tsunoda now.

Alonso doing similar lap time. Gasly is around Tsunoda now.

Good job. Gasly 3.3 ahead.

Tsunoda ahead on 18-lap-old mediums. He's doing 1.31.

You're doing a good job. You're under the limit at 9.13.14, but go with your feel.

Good job, Nico.

Alonso is six behind. Gasly is doing like 29.6 right now.

Leclerc close on pit exit.

Leclerc probably one stop. He had very low deg.

Gasly is catching Lawson for one stop. So you and Gasly are kind of fighting each other for something around P8.

Situation behind with Fernando. Alonso, six behind doing 30.2.

And Alonso on same strategy. He has Piastri behind him. Same pace, same strategy.

What do you think about high speed saving? Do you need to keep doing it or not?

Copy. Discussing now.

Nico, the deg is looking very good on this tyre, so we're just talking what all of our options are. You're doing a very good job. Just keep doing what you're doing for now.

Yeah, the numbers really don't match my feeling today. Feels OK, but not amazing and easy. OK, understood. Good to know.

Did really get an answer about the high speed.

Keep doing what you're doing for now. All good.

Situationally high.

Alonso 6.4 behind. Same lap time. Steady.

Russell, probably one second ahead. Pit exit.

Ok, to push more, turn 2. And you're saving well everywhere.

Yeah, it's definitely not wet stuff. Copy that. Clear.

You're doing a good job, Nico. You do have margin basically everywhere on the tyres. It's looking good.

Gasly's been told to push.

How's the balance, Nico? How's the balance? Mixed back, understeer building. But exit traction also getting worse, like you see in 5. And last corner.

Possible debris turn 7. Possible debris.

I wouldn't stop yet. I think a bit too far for undercut. I used a bit more time first.

Yes, all clear, Nico.

We're clear, kind of from behind at the moment, no?

Yes, Alonso 7, Piastri 9, all OK behind.

In terms of balance, I think it's back to default again.

Copy that, Nico. Actually, we could try a little bit more. I can't come off a lot of stuff on the tools.

Understood, Nico.

Alonso still 8 behind. All OK behind.

Yeah, a bit more like 0.6, 0.7 here. Air balance.

Copy that, Nico.

You're under the limit at 13.14 and a bit at 9.2.

Let's just balance and do it again. Can't go much. Can't do much more. Copy that.

Nico, try less EB in turn 5 only. See if that helps.

Hamilton just boxed. He's seven behind. He's on a reverse one-stop, so he's on a medium now. He will come back through eventually.

I think now would be kind of optimal.

Do you think other people are at a one-stop?

Faster cars are on one stop, yes?

The cars in our world is just Gasly and Alonso on two-stop.

Last lap 33.0.

Copy that. Understood, Nico. Hamilton still seven behind.

33 is getting better. Neutral.

Nico, multifunction B9 to position 10. B9, position 10.

Dag is very low, very low. Hamilton 3.3 behind.

Is there a message in that or what is that?

Plan B is still in play.

And just see what happens at the end with everyone's tyres.

Again, it doesn't feel like that for me.

He's taking pretty hard work by now.

Yeah, copy that, Nico. We also see wind is increasing. It's definitely getting gustier. Hamilton two behind.

Don't lose any race time with Hamilton. Gasly will have him too. He's quicker than all of us. Copy.

Hamilton, close behind.

We're looking to Fernando. Way behind.

Fernando stopped already and he's nine seconds behind your pit window.

Yeah, but he will be faster now. Only nine seconds behind.

Guys, you're being clear now. Tell me what's going on.

Alonso will not come into our window, even though he's faster. We're okay on Alonso, just focusing on Gasly and what he's doing.

Verstappen, two behind on hard. He is quicker, he'll get through. I don't know, it doesn't feel right what we're doing here.

Do you see the front lamps falling?

Yeah, copy that, Nico. The biggest issue is deg is too low for any kind of undercut.

I understand what you're saying, but it's just nothing to gain, unfortunately.

I hope we're not hanging fruit at the end with the S10.

Yep, understood. Alonso's not making any progress. He's just stuck behind people.

What position are we? E8.

13 laps to go at the line. Where, why is the tyres okay? We see what's happening. There's just nothing interesting coming from boxing right now. Still okay behind. I understand. Just tell the fuck. Copy that.

What's the gap behind me? What's there? Who's there? Albon 16 behind on a one-stop hard.

Albon, same lap time, and then Alonso doing 28.5, but he's 25 behind.

Press oil pump button. Albon still doing 29.5.

11 to go, Alonso 23 behind and he still has to get through Albon.

Nico, multi-function B9, position 9. Position 9 for performance.

10 to go, Alonso 21 behind.

Tyres all good to the end. Alonso 20 behind.

And Albon is still 18 behind doing 1 minute 30.

Car behind is Alonso. 18 behind. 18 behind.

Yeah, no updates unless it gets close.

Understood.

High speed is lovely now.

Yep, understood.

Nico, out of turn 14 we will go SOC 5. SOC 5 at the end of the lap. It's no need with these tyres.

Okay, I'll try.

Copy, SOC 5 and 4 to go at the line.

When do you want it? Sock five, four to go.

Three to go.

Gap behind. Gap to Alonso is 9.

Starting last lap. Track is clear. Lawson stopped off track.

Checkered flag, Nico. Checkered flag.

Charge on. And that's P8, Nico, P8. Very good drive, just didn't have the race pace today. Good job though. One stop.

Are you still there? I'm still here. It wasn't too exciting today, but it's been a great couple of years with you, Nico. We appreciate everything, all the racing you've done for us. Really great time for us.

Yeah, likewise, dude. It's been... It's been really amazing. Especially, you know, my comeback. I never dreamt or thought it would be so successful. Really enjoyed two years together with you. Many highlights. So, thanks a lot. Appreciate it too. And wish you all the best. Keep doing what you're doing, guys. You're on the right track. Yeah, absolutely, Nico. We all believed in you when you arrived and we believe in you now.

Thanks, Nico. It's been amazing two seasons with you. Best of luck for the future. Thank you for everything you've done to the team. We really enjoyed it. Arigato, boss. I can only return that. Thank you.
