Ready O-Check.

Five minutes to formation lap.

Just confirming we should have DRS into turn 6, lap 2.

Yes, AFM, that's correct.

Three minutes to formation lap.

So, tyre-wise, everyone is on medium tyres except for Lewis P16.

Two minutes.

1-0-4 the burnout. Yeah, AFIRM 1-0-4.

75 seconds. Final lap. Speed limiter on.

One minute.

Forty-five seconds.

Bite point find. 25 seconds.

Fifteen seconds.

Clutch on target.

So I can keep working those tyres. Doing a good job so far.

And no more full load. Yep.

I'll be coasting from the bridge just before turn 15.

And three burnouts, starting at turn 16, exit, final burnout, P13, Stroll.

And I see Strat 5.

Last car approaching back of the grid.

Hulkenberg car behind point three.

So double yellow where you are. I hope behind the point four.

So, Gasly has one second ahead of him to DRS this lap.

Asshole! He... will have DRS.

I've got double yellow before turn 9. DRS has not yet been enabled.

At DEP, return to 7. Exit.

So, VSC, VSC, delta positive. Look for debris. We'll go strat 1. Yeah, thank you. Just keep an eye out for this debris. You've got Perez stopped. Exit of turn 9. So, between turn 9 and turn 10. So, keep attempting the tyres. Yeah, a bit of debris on my left-hand side. But nothing crazy.

No transcript available

So the car's been cleared. Just that bit of debris that he's picking up now. So this could be short. Keep on top of those tyre temps.

Not diff-magic available.

Green 11, position 3.

So, think about diff mid at the restart. Just remember, bring these tyres in, so you don't have to attack too hard or too early.

So it's time to get some track clear messages. VSC ending Strat 5.

That's what they have at Magic.

Gas, gas, gas, 1.1.

Gap. Will have DRS.

So Sainz is doing a lot of management in 2 and 3 which is closing that gap up to Gasly.

Gap 1.5.

Doesn't have DRS.

Gap 1.7.

Doesn't have DRS.

Gap 2.5. Just get to some tyre management now.

So, George, bringing this battery up like this is good. It's better for the overtake presses.

So, think about B-Bal.

So Hulkenberg will have the DRS.

Still target plus eight.

My front surface is looking quite good now.

Brake pincher? I'm guessing Leclerc is not far behind. Yeah, Alonso made a bit of a mistake and so he let Leclerc come through.

And starting to see signs of deck on some people now.

So, Leclerc now battling with Hulkenberg.

Leclerc, car behind 2.4.

At green 11, position 1. Green 11, position 1. Leclerc doing more management. 2-3.

So Leclerc at 1.3. Now we're in free air. I'll keep you updated on where he's finding time on you.

So, Leclerc, this lap was pushing more turn 2.

Leclerc at 1.1.

George, there is more scope on diff mid to come up.

And Strat 7 to keep charging.

Leclerc doesn't have DRS this lap. We've got Gasly doing a 30.1 on that hard tyre. I've powered the tyres and now the target. I feel OK for target but front right is rough and acute.

Yeah, copy that. So Verstappen is five seconds behind Leclerc and he has a 10 second penalty.

I'm trying to compare the competitors, struggling a bit really.

Verstappen doing 29.8, Sainz 29.3.

So main area to find lap time is mid to exit turn nine.

Big tyres, can't do it, but that's right.

So we've got Hulkenberg doing 29.8 currently, Gasly doing 29.6. Gasly just inside our window.

And we just need to increase lift and coast 50 metres per lap for fuel.

So, George, just keep the feedback coming on tyres.

I can maintain this pace.

So we got Hulk two seconds outside our pit window. He's doing 29.9 at the moment.

Get understeer.

Marker for pushing into 5. Now shift to limit release.

So we've got Leclerc just battling with Gasly now.

If you've got any more pace at the moment, really helpful.

So, Leclerc is through Gasly now.

Lewis on the hard tyre doing 29.7. Nine seconds behind.

Main lap time lost to turn 9.

So Sainz at three seconds just exited the pits.

Let's not lose him this time and get overtaken by him. Hey, fuck, we're discussing that.

So we will box, box this lap. We'll be close with Gasly. Let me know if there's any adjust. No, it won't come out.

That will be zero with Gasly on exit.

So, Strat 5 and overtake available on exit.

Gasly at 2 seconds.

Beautiful work there, mate. So 31 laps remaining. Let's bring these tyres in.

Stint 1. Those who managed earlier on had a much better, cleaner stint.

Right hand of Leclerc.

At 28.9.

Let's focus on him. End of race. Get these tyres where we need them to be.

Front surface is still on the cool side.

Leclerc 28.6.

If there are any corners you'd like me to manage, don't lie.

Sorry, can you repeat the question? If there's any corners you would like me to manage, where? 9 or 2-3?

Turn to 2-3 would be our first place.

I could have Lawson on pit exit.

We've got Lawson ahead on exit. He'll be a lapped car.

So, potentially, this is a dev return 6-7.

Also some debris right hand side on the exit and around this bend.

Valtteri, slow moving car, exit turn 14.

And George, so for information, Lewis, still out on that hard tyre, so 31 laps and currently doing 29.5s.

So Leclerc last lap was a 28.5.

George Russell, feedback on tyres for safety car.

It's always that one I think I knew.

So, Lewis in the pitlane now.

So, I'll keep an eye on Lewis' lap times on the early laps on the medium, but expecting to interact with him end of race currently.

Yeah, I'm turning in. Missed the place I've got.

And George, everything we're finding with the pushing through 2-3, we lose at turn 5.

Mark it for ride time six. Copy.

Leclerc, 28.1.

So, George Bain, lap time lost to Leclerc. Currently turn 6-7.

I'm pushing it as hard as I can, mate. Look at the pace today.

Yeah, A firm mate, that's a purple sector one.

So, Lewis currently fighting Hulkenberg at 28.0, 15 seconds behind.

Not currently forecast a catch, but I'll let you know the pace once he's in clean air.

Leclerc, 28.6.

No transcript available

So, George, we think that snap turn 5 is related to diff mid, recommending diff mid three.

Understood. I'm just going over the top of the tyres with different brakes.

And diff entry 5 for earlier rotation. Turn 6.

So, 14 laps remaining.

And Lewis, a car behind at 12 seconds.

So, Leclerc ahead just got through Magnussen, blue flags.

Race picture and a race.

So, we'll be close. I'll keep you updated.

So, 12 laps remaining.

So Lewis was just over, sorry, just under one second faster last lap.

Magnussen has blue flags.

George, we're happy to be reducing management turns 2-3. Gap to Lewis eight and a half seconds.

10 laps remaining. Gap 8 seconds.

Currently forecast to be close but not quite catching end of race.

And gap to Lewis, seven and a half.

So, eight laps remaining, gap to Lewis, six seconds.

So, forecast to have Lewis with us two or three laps from the end here.

Lewis, now car behind 5.8 seconds.

So wind is now a direct tailwind into turn 6. If possible, debris turn 6.

So that wind has rotated to a tailwind at turn 6, around 10 kph.

Six laps remaining.

And we've had two strikes now.

That was a turn of one.

Five laps remaining.

And three laps remaining.

Charts stating the obvious. Keep it super clean with Lewis. Yeah, boss.

Doesn't have DRS.

And we'll have DRS.

Strat 5.

DRS disabled, zone 1. Final lap.

DRS enabled.

Early overtake available. Exit 5 and 7.

We'll have DRS at Lawson Park on the left-hand side.

Gap will have DRS.

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go

Strat 14.

Thanks for all the efforts this year. It's been a proper rollercoaster. A lot of highs, a lot of lows.

But what is our break now? Thanks for the hard work.

Yeah, thank you very much. A lot of highs, a lot of lows, like you said.

We'll come back even stronger next year.

Just picking up rubber and we'll be coming into the pitlane.

George, we need to find out why the car isn't so happy with that. Lots of work to do, lots to analyse and I'm sure we're going to get on top. Thank you for sticking with what we wanted to do this weekend with set-ups and parts.

What was the gap to Alida? 37 seconds to Norris.

Sorry.
