Radio check.

And radio is loud and clear from Garage as well. Copy.

Flaps? Five minutes.

OK, get the cooling up.

You'll be alright, Sam.

I'll try a slipknot.

Three minutes to formation lap.

Tyres? So the cars on medium tyre is Leclerc P2 and Lewis P9 and all the cars around you are used soft except for those two cars.

And just for info, next car on medium is P13 Alonso, P17 Lawson, P18 Bortoleto.

Two minutes.

Seventy-five seconds. Fire up. One minute. Forty-five seconds. Right point defined. Twenty-five seconds.

Fifteen seconds.

P5. That clutch, 1% shallow. Keep working those tyres. Doing a good job so far. Thanks for watching.

Targeting 1-0-7 at turn 14. Currently looking good.

I'll be coasting from turn 14.

At two burnouts, starting P17 Lawson, final burnout E10 Tsunoda.

Let me know if you're happy with the same target, considering I'm having cold on temps.

A-firm. We are happy with that target. And I see Strat 5.

Norris, looks over the line.

Last car approaching back of the grid.

Copy that. So Norris at point seven point eight.

DRS enabled.

Bert Norris will have DRS.

Just remember, you're tyre management here, George.

Gap 0.9. Happy with what you're doing in the high-speed management at the moment, George.

We'll have DRS 1.1 behind. Currently doing the same, if not a little more, management than Leclerc.

So, I'm happy with your management so far, George.

RS point nine. Still happy with what you're doing on management. It is more than Leclerc.

So, still on target here, George. Midfield starting to stop now.

Gap 0.8. We'll have DRS. Recommend strat 12.

And Norris has a five second penalty.

We've got a couple of cars out there also getting strikes for off-track.

So, Norris has gone to the medium, Verstappen has gone to the hard tyre.

Kimi in the pitlane now.

Tyres are a drop. Box, box, confirm.

Minus point three. Point three.

Got Lawson on exit close.

Norris at two seconds.

So, Leclerc still out there. Last lap 38.9.

Leclerc at 39.1. We're happy with what you're doing on the tyres surface.

High speed management.

Happy turn 12, currently matching those around you in 6 and 7.

Leclerc at seven seconds.

Advise on driving, I feel slow eight and ten.

So, George, advise leaning on the fronts more in 6 and 7 to help the rear in 8.

Apparently target plus two.

Leclerc, 37.4.

The three cars around us all doing a wider mid and exit turn 8.

Leclerc has a DRS with Norris.

So Leclerc now, car behind.

Pep, it's a long race. A-firm.

So, George, update on race picture. Race is with these cars around us. Kimi and Verstappen have both stopped. Again, previous couple of laps.

Is it still a target plus two? It is target plus six. Target plus six.

Safety car, safety car. So, Strat 1. Delta positive.

Safety car is exit of turn two.

So, I'm sure you can see, we've got Piastri on the medium, Leclerc behind on hard, Norris also medium.

Twenty-four laps on a soft, it is a bit audacious.

And hard tyre hasn't looked great so far and it's had quite a big deg on those that have run it.

10 kph bouncing around between headwind into one and tailwind out of one.

Let me know on tyres.

Yeah, we're happy where they are currently.

So safety car in this lap. I'll be 22 laps remaining.

You're doing 6, 7 and 12.

New feedback on pace turn 10.

I have an issue affecting DRS. It's a timing issue only. I give you a default to override it.

Yeah, once we do it, you have to wait until I tell you you can use DRS.

For me to tell you when you have DRS, if we're in that position, Leclerc won't be.

Gap 1.1 behind.

Gap 1.5.

Gap of 1.7.

And gap 1.6.

George, there is a chance we lose the dash. Just keep driving as normal if that happens.

Long understeer, avoid to the portal. I think you'll be alright. Nine laps remaining.

Will you be able to give me a break behind 6 in turn?

Yeah, A-firm, we'll still have the data. Feedback?

And you need to use the cockpit button for the radio.

I can't. I accidentally opened the RS. I blowed it straight away, gained nothing, and I'm back.

Copy that, yeah. The only feedback I need is the magic, within magic, of 4, and we're down.

Anyway, I'll give you that info.

So, correction, George, if we lose the dash, we won't be able to use any of the buttons on the steering wheel, just shifts.

B-B-W passive.

AFM, that is real.

It should still brake as well as normal, no?

Blue default 10. Blue default 1-0.

What's going on?

Blue, default, 10.

Do I need to change brake lines? Concentrate, it's back, it's back. Affirm.

What's the gap? 1.9 to Leclerc. He's under pressure from Norris. Now 2.1.

It's gone again. B-B-W. Gone again.

How many laps to go? How many laps? Six laps remaining.

Blue, default 10, on off again.

So, Norris at 2.1 seconds.

Norris, two seconds.

Don't even go to B1LP. Affirm. It's OK, just be driving.

Do I need to keep the blue divo stand on? If it happens, yeah.

Blue default 0-1. Blue default 0-1.

So, four laps remaining. Norris behind. He has a black and white flag for track limits.

Norris out point eight.

We'll have DRS three laps remaining.

Gap 0.6.

So it'll be Strat 5 or I'll leave you to manage it with overtake.

Gap point six.

So, one more lap. Gap point six.

Get in there. Yes! Well done, mate. Three wheels on my wagon. P2. Brilliant driving. Brilliant job. Great job. Green, all one, position 12. George, great job to bring that car over the line with soft tyres and with basically that B-B brake by wire going passive. Really great, great, great, great. Great job. Thank you. That was not easy. Well done.

Green 01, position 12.

And strap 14. Yeah, superb driving. Well done there, mate. Really well managed. A lot of issues.

I've even got my heart rate going now. No brakes, no steering wheel. What more do we need? At least it stayed on though. Yeah. Yeah. Happy, happy. Picking up rubber.

I think that blue default 10 button might have been worn out. Get a new one for the next race.

Alright, tell me about it.

The most challenging part is the brakes were just on and off. They were consistently not working. It would have been OK. Just didn't know what I was going to get. It feels good. Very happy.

Brilliant stuff. Right, we'll see you up there.

Go on, can you hear me?

No, he's got his headset around his neck at the moment.

And can we go dash position one before you jump out, please?
