Radio check Alex. Copy. Copy. OK, just to inform you, where the start lights are, the information box, if you like, on the left of it isn't working, so the one that puts up aborted start, extra formation numbers on that, that's not working.

Well...

Mechanics, just an update on the weather. Just a low chance of rain, so conditions should be similar to now all the way through the race. There's a few isolated showers, but largely to the south of the circuit, 10km or so, so I think conditions to be pretty much as they are now.

The drops you're doing, we think we can be one to two percent deeper.

Scooping a final radio check.

Yes, copy that, copy.

Pull the toggle on. Do you want to take the final pull?

I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90.

I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90.

I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90.

So just a bigger lift in 3 to help surface temps. Got a high speed switch available if you need, you know.

Plan A. Plan A plus two currently.

Let's do the diff high speed. Correct, that will be high speed 6. High speed 6.

Apparently much stronger than Hadjar in sector 1, but a bit weaker in 11 and 13, 14. Yes, I know. Can't do anything about that.

These shifts are so bad. What have we done to them? It's been shit at the start, it's been shit now.

OK, a bit more specific as to where it is. Yeah, the same, the same I've been talking about all this time. OK.

Tyres are stable from our side. Update on a switch when you can.

Go to plan A, up to plus five.

I don't know what you guys are seeing, but it's oversteer.

Copy that, we'll stay six hundred.

Tyre switch is correct.

Brakes are already buttoned on.

On plan A plus seven, pulling away from Bearman, 2.4 back.

Is that wind picking up? Question.

I'm losing a lot of power down the straight.

Recapping all capacity.

No significant change on the wind onto the car. Sometimes affected by the car ahead, but nothing significant.

Purple button on now. Purple button on.

Only two cars have pitted so far, Doohan and Stroll, from the back. It's quiet so far.

Our main loss to Hadjar around the lap was turn 11. Bit of front lock, so if she can go rearwards at that corner, if it doesn't compromise elsewhere, we'll reduce the combined in 11.

Piastri now pits it as well.

Front end re-limited.

Massive understeer, low speed and rear locking and oversteer, high speed.

High speed step. Yeah, but it's damaged. My shocks are being damaged.

It's like China. I just have to run it like this.

OK, it's better to do plan A plus seven. Take a little bit of paint behind you at the minute to get you better position.

Honestly, you guys make absolutely no sense. Okay. Like, ridiculous.

Yeah, but... but before then...

OK, straight out. Watch the white line on exit.

Guys, you could have told me about this for a moment.

So tyres are up to temp. You should have 1.6 seconds with Bortoleto. He's 2.1 ahead.

Have the pit already. Bortoleto and Ocon have yet to pit. Started on a hard 26 laps in.

Expecting level one rain soon. Level one rain.

1.3 seconds quicker than Ocon. He could've done an overtake.

8.5 seconds on Hadjar in sector 1, last lap. Car ahead of him, Carlos, yet to pit.

Stay on the racing line, stay on the racing line. He will stay on the racing line.

Okay, cap ahead of 2.1.

Side battery is full.

OK, back to P9. 21 laps to go.

What's the gap behind?

Take. Yeah, I mean like, the actual car behind.

It is five seconds to Bearman, eight to Alonso behind him.

Blue 7, position 5. Blue 7, position 5.

Adjara, Bearman, currently lapping low 32s.

So they are currently three to four tenths quicker. Last lap.

Bearman gains about three tenths through sector one. Tyres are happy. We can lean on the tyre mark.

Last lap to Bearman was turn 4 and turn 6 where he's made time going to use.

Luke, can we try turn 70?

Strat mode 3-1. Last lap. The main delta to Bearman is turn 4 to turn 6. Otherwise, comparable rest of the lap. Gap behind 1.4 DRS enabled.

I'll stop and see you when I get back on speed.

Tyres are stable outside. Surfaces are OK. Understood on your comment. Gap behind at 4.6. There'll be 14 laps to go.

Biggest limitation is turn 4, turn 6.

For turn 6, you can try the left button for turn 6 and the diff just for 6.

Turn me to the left at high speed.

For a more open dune that would be high speed 5.

A couple of tenths quicker last lap, Bearman. Gap of five seconds.

Getting a three tenths grip within Hadjar last lap. Bearman's had a slow lap, he's seven seconds back.

With an earlier opening at the diff at turn 6 helped you.

Okay, so we're gaining around a tenth up to two tenths a lap on Hadjar. It's currently 4.3 ahead. Next time round will be five laps to go.

Three tenths up in sector 1 with Hadjar. You've got the left button for 6 and 14 if you need on top of.

Alright, three laps to go.

Over the start finish line it will be mode 5 for two laps to go.

Starting the final lap.

After turn 14, push and hold the overtake.

That's it, last corner.

OK, that's the flag. P9.

OK. Yep.

Nice one. Yeah, well done. I wouldn't say it looked the easiest one to drive, but well done.

Yeah, it got better at the end, for sure. Yeah.

Well done, Alex. It's a good result. Two more points to add to our tally and we've got another two races that will be strong for us. Well done. I think that's all we had today.

HPP off. And go DAT.

Blue 1, position 12. Blue 1, position 12.

And well done on the switch recommendations, Luke. That was, yeah, we're getting the car better and better to the race.

Pick up if you can.
