06:52:34

Radio check.

06:52:43

You're pretty cranky, but it's okay.

06:52:55

Sprint racetrack temp.

06:53:20

Okay, well, let's keep an eye on this. 10-fifth of the track is cooling.

06:54:20

This radio looms always a bit of a pain to get in position. Really need to make that modification ASAP.

06:55:05

Marcus, just a reminder to give me the tea water at 13 on the form lap.

06:55:20

And we are just under five minutes to formation lap.

06:57:10

Three minutes.

06:57:20

So tyre-wise, from P1 to P13, everyone is on medium tyre. The first hard starter is P14, Stroll.

06:58:10

Two minutes.

06:58:55

75 seconds. Fire up.

06:59:10

One minute.

06:59:25

Forty-five seconds.

06:59:45

White point find. 25 seconds.

06:59:55

Fifteen seconds.

07:00:05

Five.

07:00:36

Clutch was 2% shallow.

07:01:22

So keep working those tyres. Doing a good job so far. Just a reminder, 1.05 on that temp.

07:01:38

Targon tyres.

07:01:49

So happy where we are now.

07:01:56

And coasting from turn 14.

07:02:16

And four burnouts starting at the orange before the timing line. Final burnout, P9, Tsunoda.

07:03:00

07:03:33

Last car approaching back of the grid.

07:04:42

Lowest behind 0.5.

07:04:54

Lewis at point 8. Early overtake is available.

07:05:25

Strat 13 available. Gap behind 0.5.

07:05:48

DRS enabled. Lewis out of point seven.

07:06:01

Keep eyes open for step return 8-9.

07:06:21

Gap 0.9.

07:06:36

Yeah, 1.1 doesn't have DRS.

07:06:41

EB1 available.

07:07:04

So, currently, George, it's all rear overheating. Fronts are in a good window. In the window.

07:07:27

Gap 1.2.

07:08:15

And Lewis doesn't have DRS.

07:10:22

On top.

07:10:41

So still dominated by that rear overheating, at front seeing a little bit of overheating now, but in the window.

07:10:54

Good job on braking.

07:12:51

So the field is still quite bunched here, George. Everyone in the pit window.

07:14:30

So George Sainz signed off front left greening both Ferraris and Norris.

07:15:16

I don't need help playing with my legs. 8-0.

07:16:08

George, there is a bit more scope of diff high speed.

07:16:27

Norris reporting. Struggling with the front left.

07:18:55

So we are still targeting plus four here.

07:19:03

Push turn one a bit there and let's move on. Front left. Copy that. A lot of people complaining about front left currently.

07:19:27

He has taken a step this lap.

07:19:43

So scope on diff high speed if you need to protect that front.

07:19:49

Got both front and rear overheating currently.

07:20:01

I'm only sure how much the flap is helping the front left or just how it's in the rear.

07:21:21

So, George, starting to see some action now in the pitfield. Gasly just stopped.

07:23:00

So, George, lap time to look to have flapped off here. Just feed back on tyres.

07:23:28

I think we can go longer.

07:24:02

AFM, good message, George. We'll just keep extending, keep that gap where it is behind.

07:25:08

So Lewis in the pits now.

07:25:16

I think it's going to go one stop.

07:25:20

Keep extending. From the left, clearing up.

07:25:28

So, hard tyre is the best tyre.

07:25:40

Fernando, target.

07:25:47

Plus four.

07:26:14

I'm unsure. I think we need to keep going.

07:26:20

I'm getting a once-in-a-lifetime of Padone.

07:26:24

So box, box, box, box. Default flap adjust.

07:26:35

Reset diff high speed.

07:27:01

Overtake available on exit.

07:27:10

Outlap normal here. Got Lawson at one and a half.

07:27:59

Sainz ahead on 14 lap hold medium.

07:28:15

Sight ahead will have DRS. Could be close with Norris at pit exit.

07:29:35

Happy to ignore that oxidation warning.

07:29:53

Tyres are coming into the window already.

07:30:12

RS 0.6.

07:30:53

So, George, just think about plan B from here.

07:31:06

Yes, man, I told you plan B before.

07:31:31

So, Norris, point five.

07:31:56

Nice point, you two.

07:32:20

Give me a break.

07:32:31

So, just remember your discipline from here. Doing a good job so far.

07:32:40

Give me an update on race picture. Driving around.

07:32:51

So everyone's pitted. You've got both Ferraris five seconds behind. Stuck behind Stroll.

07:33:07

You've got Albon two cars ahead. He's on 17 lap hold mediums.

07:33:35

So Lewis, car behind now, three and a half seconds.

07:33:58

We are happy with what you're doing on B-Bal.

07:37:15

So the Ferraris have inverted. Leclerc now car behind two seconds.

07:38:29

So Captain Leclerc 1.4, how would tyres be at her safety car restart?

07:38:54

Leclerc at 1.2. He is pushing very hard right now.

07:39:05

He may well be trying to go for a two-stop here.

07:39:41

Copy that. And turn 2 is diff mid if you want to get rid of that snap.

07:40:07

Leclerc at one second.

07:41:03

Gap 1.2.

07:41:19

Doesn't have DRS.

07:42:39

Gap 1.1.

07:42:56

And doesn't have a DRS.

07:43:22

Gap one second. It doesn't have DRS.

07:44:18

Gap 0.8.

07:44:32

Gap 0.9. Will have DRS.

07:45:23

Gap 0.6.

07:46:11

One second, we'll have DRS.

07:46:59

Information, George. GPS is jumping around a bit.

07:47:31

Gap one second.

07:47:47

1.1 will have DRS.

07:49:08

Gap one second.

07:49:24

Gap 1.1. Will have DRS.

07:49:29

Apparently target plus three.

07:50:14

George, update on tyres, please.

07:50:45

Gap 1.2.

07:51:03

Gap 1.2 doesn't have DRS.

07:52:21

Gap 1.8.

07:52:39

So, George, tyre wear from that first stint was well balanced, quite low generally.

07:53:09

Plan B, Eva.

07:53:38

There's Stroll out there on 30 lap hold hard, still going green.

07:54:42

Twenty-five laps remaining.

07:55:16

Power, front amps.

07:55:34

So below the window into turn one, good for the rest of the lap.

07:55:52

Rear overheating. Much better at that first int. Just keep attacking that.

07:57:29

So, main lap time lost to McLaren is turn 8. I'm happy with what you're doing with the tyres. Keep doing what you're doing.

07:59:06

So George would be 22 to go at the end of this lap. How would the tyres be at a safety car restart? I don't really know what to expect.

07:59:24

That's a sufficient answer.

08:01:09

Twenty-one to go. A stroll of 34-and-a-fold hard tyres. Still going green.

08:03:30

How is 7.8 versus the guys around?

08:03:40

4789, Canada complex.

08:03:55

So, lap time at neutral to the McLarens. We're gaining two tenths or so to the Ferraris.

08:04:11

In the sequence or just 7-8? In that whole sequence.

08:04:22

So, are you happy with what's happening? Yeah, I'm happy with what you're doing, because we're going to Ferrari 910.

08:04:30

I threw it boxed.

08:04:41

Yeah, A curve first as boxed.

08:04:58

And Lewis was complaining about tyres.

08:05:33

And E-B1 is available for turn 6.

08:05:59

George just confirming plan B. Exit. I've got a bit of a vibration after the exit car.

08:06:22

Everything looks OK at the moment, George.

08:07:10

And wind has reduced in intensity. Same direction. Track temp now 33 degrees.

08:07:58

Please repeat, radio with Paul. Keep me posted with front temps for the corner track.

08:08:09

AFL, so still sat nicely in the window, just below it going into turn one.

08:09:05

OK, downshift.

08:10:22

So Lewis on that new hardy. So 35.5, but not currently forecast to interact with us.

08:12:26

So, 14 laps to go. These are really good lap times.

08:12:48

Norris, last lap was 36.9.

08:14:24

7-0. Thoughts on turn 1. Motion level.

08:14:54

I'm happy where you are at 1-2-3. Looking strong.

08:16:01

So currently rear right surface temperature sensor isn't working. Just information.

08:16:12

Race picture update on the back straight.

08:16:49

So, 11 laps to go and Lewis still not forecast to interact with yourself or even Verstappen. And Leclerc and Verstappen still dropping off the back.

08:17:14

Do you think we've got scope to push B-Bal forward?

08:17:37

A-flap, so scope to push it forwards, looking at front surface temps.

08:18:27

So Leclerc and Verstappen are due to interact with each other in about four laps.

08:22:04

Eight laps remaining.

08:26:52

So, five laps remaining. Verstappen on the back of Leclerc now.

08:29:03

So Verstappen now a car behind.

08:30:05

And Strat 9, three laps remaining.

08:31:14

Gap 2.

08:31:18

Six seconds.

08:32:33

Norris has a potential brake issue.

08:32:56

Verstappen still six seconds.

08:33:26

Go to Strat 5.

08:33:40

So I recommend strap 5, you got it, thank you.

08:34:09

Early overtake available, turn 13.

08:34:28

And early overtake available. Exit 60.

08:34:55

Great job. Good race there. Good driving. Well done, mate. P3. Solid result. Yeah, good race. Very solid. Very, very solid race. Well done. Well done.

08:35:08

Green 1 position 12 and Strat 14.

08:35:17

Yeah, just picking up rubber where you can.

08:35:28

Yeah, measured drive. Really well done. That was such a good drive. Maximum.

08:35:34

Yeah, thanks, Toto. That's what we need to do every week. Get the maximum. I agree. Good race.

08:35:48

So, final result there. Piastri, Norris, yourself, Verstappen, Leclerc, Lewis at P6, Ocon in 7th, Kimi in 8th. He picked up floor damage, we think, in the first in very early on in the race.

08:37:12

And George will be coming around to the grid.
