Radio, loud and clear from garage as well. We are just under five minutes to formation lap.

16:57:10

16:57:14

And tyre-wise, the first car on hard tyre is P10 Norris and P14 Hadjar, P16 Stroll, P18 Hulkenberg. The other cars are on medium tyres.

Byte point find. 25 seconds.

16:59:55

Fifteen seconds.

17:00:04

Five.

17:00:31

Clutch was 1% shallow. Thanks for watching.

17:01:06

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

17:01:23

Doing a good job on tyres so far.

17:01:27

And good on water temp.

17:01:39

A-firm where they are or plus two, plus one now.

17:01:58

Target is 1-0-4 or less. Turn 27.

17:02:14

Posting from turn 27.

17:02:29

And four burnouts starting at the grid markings. Final burnout, P9 Gasly.

17:03:25

And I see strat 6. Who will be the last car? Bortoleto.

17:03:51

Last car approaching the back of the grid.

17:04:41

Double yellow, turn 45.

17:05:12

Safety car, safety car, so delta positive, staying out, staying out. Strat 1.

17:05:22

Verstappen, please centre. Off the track.

17:05:33

So avoiding low brake pressure here. Incident is turn 5 exit. Both cars are on the left-hand side of the circuit.

17:05:50

So, safety car will cut through the run-off at turn four. So, just follow the safety car through that run-off. Advise on tyre temps. Keep them where they are.

17:06:11

And you have magic available for France.

17:07:31

And green 7, position 5. Green 7, position 5.

17:07:38

Just make sure you're staying on top of that 10 car lengths.

17:09:10

So, safety car will stay on track this time round, so just keep to the right-hand side through turn five.

17:09:20

Staying on track, but stay right.

17:09:39

So safety car is in this lap.

17:10:10

I presume Verstappen is going to have to give this, please. It has been noted, so it will be under investigation.

17:10:21

Lines should be going out soon, so set your B-Bal and it will be Strat 6 for the restart.

17:10:30

Sorry, Strat 5. Correction, Strat 5.

17:10:42

So Verstappen is controlling the pace. We can select Strat 5 now.

17:12:22

So Verstappen has a five-second penalty.

17:13:25

DRS enabled.

17:14:34

Update on target.

17:14:38

Target minus one still.

17:16:46

Oscar, upshift.

17:18:02

Third information George and Norris now in P7. Six seconds behind yourself on the hard tyre.

17:18:39

This tyre doesn't feel good.

17:19:02

Yeah, A-firm all axles overheating.

17:19:36

So, compared to those ahead, main lap time loss, turn 13, maybe two tenths, and then the high speed management.

17:19:54

Marker upshift.

17:21:11

So Verstappen, last lap the same as you, so 33.9.

17:21:38

Loss of overheating in 5.

17:21:47

Yeah, A firm. This is same for everybody at the moment, George.

17:22:43

So we are currently target plus one. Verstappen at 33.8. Gap to him is...

17:24:21

Piastri getting DRS from Verstappen here.

17:25:18

Tyres are a-dropping.

17:25:54

Yeah, copy that. Piastri putting pressure on Verstappen here now.

17:29:03

4, 6 and 7. Carry more speed in turn 9.

17:29:39

My tyres are just sliding on the surface.

17:30:34

Felt. Arc it. Plus. Four.

17:34:12

Fuck, my tyres are gone!

17:34:34

Copy that, George. We've seen similar for everyone. Everybody's struggling with the overheating, both axles.

17:36:55

I'm starting to see some stoppers now off Piastri in the pitlane.

17:38:12

We close with Hadjar and Albon on exit.

17:38:46

Overtake available on exit. Reset diff entry. Close with Albon.

17:39:03

Albon behind. Sainz one and a half ahead.

17:39:37

Gap to Leclerc, currently two and a half seconds if he pits.

17:41:21

I'm set up for plan B. Let's see how these tyres go.

17:41:37

AFM so I can see your green switch.

17:41:54

Copy that. 28 laps remaining.

17:42:12

First race is a manage.

17:42:33

Up with the high speed manoeuvres so far.

17:44:07

For example, that amount of push in at high speed was too much. The tyres can't take it.

17:44:46

You are saving more than those around you in the high speed.

17:45:01

I've got a good track there, but is that OK? Affirm. Or is he in a pit? Affirm. So he's extending.

17:46:38

Leclerc, 33.5, gap 2.7.

17:46:52

And on that medium tyre we saw front left blistering.

17:48:26

Look at that, 33.4.

17:49:09

Sorry, you tell me what lap time you want me to do. Already in high speed, I feel sliding.

17:49:16

Well, currently we're matching those around us at the high speed.

17:49:41

What's Lando doing out of interest?

17:51:15

Leclerc at 33.4.

17:51:53

High-speed movement. This lap.

17:52:15

I'll make an exit 17. Man, I'm pushing. Dude, you need up-tyres, but I do not feel good for the tyres.

17:52:31

At the moment we're opening the gap to Leclerc, so currently 3.4.

17:54:21

So, Norris pits. Currently he'd be six seconds behind us.

17:55:56

For information, Norris doing 33.0.

17:55:59

Doing 33.0 on those hard tyres.

17:56:32

Yeah, I've got my gaps. Copy.

17:57:29

To Leclerc, the main loss is entry of turn one. Rest of the lap looks quite flat.

18:00:32

Norris in the pitlane now. He's got 16 laps to go.

18:02:07

I know it's tough out there, mate, but you're doing a good job with what you've got.

18:05:56

How do you compare that to a two-lap?

18:06:31

It looks worse currently. I only race it with Norris car behind three seconds on the medium tyre.

18:10:14

I feel like I'm pulling off your flip-flop.

18:10:33

So we've currently got no threat behind, so we can try and get these tyres back under control.

18:10:45

Fantastic. Well done. Last lap.

18:12:11

I'm on the right side.

18:13:08

We've got eight laps remaining. We've got Kimi out there doing 33.3. Main loss is turn four. Head down.

18:16:10

Yeah, right, pick up.

18:16:17

Six laps remaining. Gap behind 14 seconds.

18:19:57

This one left is not looking good at all. If you've got any concerns, try to get them to the end. I've got a band on the inside. It's cold off. Sorry for that.

18:20:18

So, no concerns at the moment. Can't see anything concerning our data. Looks like the blistering.

18:25:42

OK, so green 1, position 12. You've got Strat 14.

18:25:58

Right, I'm going to torrow it out today.

18:26:03

And that race is over. Yeah. Totally destroyed. Yeah.

18:29:21

And we'll go dash position one before you jump out.
