Oscar, ready again? Ready.

Uh, yep, radio check and I think the drinks are okay, but it feels like maybe a bit slow coming out. I'll check again.

We did put it in slushy, so it may just be that.

But it's not changed since the lapster grid, has it? It feels a bit more stuck now.

Yeah, it comes out, but some of it feels like it's blocked a bit, but I can drink something.

Tyre information, Oscar. Most cars start on used tyres. Medium tyre starters are Leclerc P2, Hamilton P9, and then Alonso, Lawson and Bortoleto in the back there.

That's 20 seconds now, 20.

No overtakes available here.

I launch feedback. You are 1% shallow. 1% shallow.

From turn 11, no more full load.

Ignition 14, please.

So it will be a 5.5-0 at turn 50, then white H14 position 1. Two normal burnouts and remember valve to launch.

Two long burnouts, please.

NASCAR approaching the grid.

Good start. Cars behind Russell, Lando, Leclerc.

DRS enabled. DRS. Russell North 1.9.

Russell 1.0.

Russell 1.2. Management looks good so far.

Two tenths faster than Russell at that pace is good.

Turn 1-2 was good this time.

And Oscar, how's the tyre now? How's the tyre?

It's okay. Rear is struggling a little bit, but seems relatively consistent at the moment. Let's have Strat 7.

Peg, as expected, pre-race.

Suggest silver entry 6. Silver entry 6.

Purple C11, position 11. Purple C11, position 11.

Hulkenberg and Hadjar have pitted.

Just red mid-six. Red mid-six.

White 8, 14, position 10. White 8, 14, position 10.

Lando has a five-second penalty. Incorrect start positioning.

Copy. Starting to struggle a bit now.

Pace looks good. You've got Russell 3.1 behind. Still a couple of tenths quicker than him.

We are in the window, both safety cars in the full window.

So this is lap 10. Just keep building gaps if you can.

So just green shape four, green shape four and red mid seven.

Lando is pitting, but he'll serve his five-second penalty.

Oscar, how's the front wing?

It's okay. Maybe down a tiny bit.

Pace is good. Half a second quicker than Russell. Gap's four seconds now.

Suggest silver entry 7. Silver entry 7.

Job gap to Russell, 4.1.

Decent lap on these tyres, Oscar. Good job.

Russell pitted. Use the pace.

We can have Strat 6, Strat 6.

We'll box this lap, box this lap. Copy, box.

Launch map, launch map, reset toys, red, mid, five, silver, entry, five, bow, sixty-one.

Close with Albon. Russell's behind him.

Albon's still out one second.

Track's slippery here, track's slippery.

Russell is now the car behind 2.1.

Leclerc is still on medium. 38.8.

Hamilton higher, Degden look back, 39.3.

Just red mid six, red mid six.

Go back to normal in turns 6, 7 and 12.

It's just Bal plus one, Bal plus one.

Oscar, this is plan B, target lap. Plan B, target lap.

Both Ferraris have pitted, so you are the race leader on track.

Turn 11. Suggest top left toggle. Turn 11. Top left.

ACS, pop. ACS.

Suggest yellow Diff 2. Yellow Diff 2.

Picture behind, you've got Russell and Lando, then Leclerc. Leclerc is on medium, three laps younger than yours.

Verstappen is on a hard tyre. He's stuck behind Ocon. That tyre doesn't look good.

That pace is very good. 4.2 to Russell.

Turn 13, suggest top right. Turn 13, top right.

Turn 6-7 last lap was okay tyre-wise. You can do that again.

Oscar, make sure you're using enough of the drink.

Track limit is one strike. Turn 11, last lap.

Suggest red mid 5 and silver entry 6.

Yeah, that's OK for now.

That's not a good place to do a lap time again, though.

Last lap three tenths faster than Russell. Pace is still good.

Behind you, Leclerc has passed Lando.

You've kept your pace. His tyres are three laps younger.

Just watch the exit snaps, you know what I want to say.

Pace is good. Priority here is plan B, target lap. Plan B, target lap.

Wind may have picked up slightly. Last two laps, turn four, gust of tailwind in exit.

Just bow plus one, bow plus one. Keep looking after these rears.

We are in the window, both safety cars confirmed.

White default 9-7-X. White default 9-7-X.

Oscar, this is plan B for tyres, but we want plan A target lap if you can. Plan A target lap if you can.

Possible debris turn three to four. Reminder, we're in the window for both safety cars.

Suggest silver entry 7. Silver entry 7.

Safety car, Oscar. Safety car.

Oscar, happy with front wing? Yes.

And we're boxed this lap.

Oscar Piller. Launch map, launch map.

Launch map off. Launch map off.

White H12, position 7. White H12, position 7.

That's silver entry 6. Silver entry 6.

So, cars behind are Russell, Leclerc and Lando. Russell on used soft, Leclerc new hard, Lando

Strap 5. Strap 5.

So, Oscar, there's now 24 laps to go. That's a pretty long stint for Russell on the soft but we expect he will have an advantage at the restart. Leclerc is on hard. The hards haven't looked good so far.

Track is now shown as clear, so we're just waiting for the cars to bunch up.

Doing a good job with the front tyres, down a good window.

Production of the last set looked good, Oscar. If anything, you can afford to push the high speed earlier in the stint than you did that time. Appreciate you'll have the map for restart first.

We're still waiting for the pack to bunch up. The back car, Bortoleto, currently in turn 5.

Safety car in this lap. Safety car in this lap.

Suggest B-2 for the restart.

OK, switches are good for the restart. All you'll need is the recharge button.

Reminder to use overtake on the start-finish straight and out of turn 1.

Yes, B-Bal plus one, B-Bal plus one, Russell plus one second.

DRS enabled.

Take care, turn 8, entry kerb under rotations.

Russell 1.3, 20 laps to go.

Let's have white H14 position 11. White H14 position 11.

Fifteen laps to go including this one.

Just yellow this one, yellow this one.

Oscar, how's the tyre now?

Oscar, safety car now. Might cost three positions for the stopper. Think it could be worth it.

Yeah, I would agree. It's worth it.

I guess the others behind would probably pit as well.

I would if it was working. OK, you've got ten laps to go. Ten laps.

Pace is still good. Gap to Russell 6.1.

Turn 11. Suggest top left, Poggle. Top left, turn 11.

Russell, last lap, 37.0.

Turn eight, take care of braking. Both axles on the limit.

Five laps to go now. Five laps to go.

Lando past Leclerc. He's now P3.

As you push turn 7 and turn 12 more, be careful of the braking points.

Two to go. You're a second a lap quicker than Russell.

Suggest bal minus one. That's minus one to manage the front under rotation.

This is the last lap. 15 seconds gap behind.

So, man, it's going to be one hell of a party tonight.

Well done, mate. Well done. That's the first time we've won our second home Grand Prix. You've been pretty flawless all weekend, so great job. I need ACS off, recharge on.

Yeah, mega weekend, everyone. Mega. That was pretty damn fun, so thanks everyone for the car. Pretty special to do it here in Bahrain, so thanks to everyone that supports us out here. It's a busy weekend, and yeah, thanks for all your support. It's been a long road to get here, and thank you very much for all the support. Well done, everyone. Cheers.

So, er, normal in lap. Drive away, you can.

The finishing order was yourself, Russell, Lando, Leclerc, Hamilton, Verstappen, Gasly, Ocon, Tsunoda, Bearman.

And Oscar, there's no points for I'm afraid, but you also got the fastest lap of the race.

Lovely. I'll take the... I'll take the borrow points.

OK, you're coming back into the pitlane, so box this lap, the boards are in the pitlane.

I know you'll be wanting to get out to have a drink, but remember to turn the car fully off. So after you've killed the engine, wait five seconds and then fully off. Well done, mate. Really good weekend.
