Max Verstappen
12:54:37
Yeah, radio check.
12:58:44
That's just under 90 seconds.
12:59:28
Forty seconds.
12:59:55
Fifteen seconds.

13:00:30
So, tyre updates. All cars top ten on medium tyres.
13:00:38
B-Bal offset plus one hundred.
13:00:43
The first cars on hard tyres are Hamilton and Antonelli in 12th and 13th.
13:01:46
And no changes to the launch procedure, please, Max.
13:01:52
2 confirmed, 3 long, 1 short. From the AWS logo.
13:03:22
Last car approach at the back of the grid.
13:05:23
DRS enabled. Gap 1.3.
13:08:53
All your trade-offs at the moment, Max, are looking good. Keep it up.
13:10:13
Piastri beginning to push sector one a little.
13:11:49
Just see if you can pick a line through turn 1 and across safety car line 2.
13:12:09
That was very good, mate. Thank you. Keep that line.
13:13:16
Gap is 1.7.
13:14:31
OK, max race update. The only spread really is to Russell. It's a DRS strain pretty much from behind Russell.
13:14:51
The gap to Russell 4.7.
13:16:56
Max, looking across an average of laps, I think we're pushing two, giving up three relative to Piastri. Piastri pushing nine a lot more than us.
13:17:12
Your management... I can't really push the brakes today. I'm a guy that slaps on it. OK. Understood. That's fine. The other thing, we are managing well in 11. Just don't let it affect your braking into 12 too much. Gap is 2.1.
13:18:07
So, Norris now past Russell. Russell struggle with rear right.
13:18:23
Everything under control. Any concerns?
13:18:33
You have all the control. Bye-bye.
13:21:02
Taxi info, Piastri has been told to push. We are happy as you are for now.
13:21:21
So Piastri is in pitlane.
13:21:27
Gasly will come out behind a train of four cars, including Yuki.
13:21:35
Tell Yuki not to make it too light.
13:21:55
Norris, Priet, 21-3.
13:22:11
Gap to Norris across the line 10.5.
13:22:23
Can I have a flap update for the next step, please? Yeah, perfect understeer. OK.
13:23:15
Captain Norris, 10.4.
13:24:20
Doris, 10.2.
13:25:58
Main loss to Norris. Turn 9, turn 12.
13:26:16
Confirmed turn 6, turn 9, turn 12.
13:28:07
Keep on top of slibs.
13:28:23
Gap is back up to 9.9.
13:34:50
Engine nine, position one.
13:34:58
I'll make sure I don't do it today. I've got a tyre on the way to me.
13:36:31
Forest, same pace. Gap 9.1.
13:39:01
That's good pace, Max. Keep it up.
13:39:14
Gap is 9.5.
13:40:52
Gap 9.7.
13:41:57
Everything you've got, Max. Everything you've got this lap.
13:42:13
I know there's a car stop.
13:42:46
VSC deployed, dash positive. Dash positive. And we are boxing this lap. Box this lap. Strat 12 in pitlane. Strat 12 in pitlane.
13:43:28
White line on the exit, Max. Currently still BSC.
13:44:08
Double yellows now.
13:44:32
Display 10. Position 1. Display 10. Position 1.
13:45:10
Ocon is now near a recovery point.
13:45:38
And tyre rate, please, max tyre rate.
13:46:12
OK, things are clearing. Virtual safety car ending, Max. BSC ended, no risk. When you go full throttle, can you just click the overtake button, please?
13:46:44
So, gap to Norris, 20 seconds.
13:47:35
You know, I just skimmed out today with this thing, so I'm not as wired around that, you know. Yep, understood.
13:47:42
I'd say my first adjustment would be a... Best recommendation would be...
13:47:54
Suppress your peaks, so keep the peaks down the first five or six laps.
13:48:19
Norris generally doesn't have anything to lose. I expect him to go flat out initially. As I say, let's introduce these tyres carefully over the first three or four laps.
13:48:54
So, Norris, first lap was a 19.8.
13:51:20
I'll let you know once things have stabilised.
13:51:36
Norris was at 20.0, the gap 18.9.
13:53:39
MX main delta to Lando at the moment is turns three and five and six.
13:53:44
His management level is down on yours.
13:54:16
However, even with that, his pace was only one tenth up on yourself.
13:54:48
Control, we need it. It's a tyre too much. So, turn 5, save.
13:55:02
Longevity over the stint, the right-hand side tyres, front right, tank rear right.
13:58:13
I'm actually comfortable at this status.
13:58:17
Yeah, I just don't want to give away too much time.
13:58:23
You're not. It's a tenth a lap.
13:58:31
So at this rate it would be two and a half seconds from your 18 second gap.
13:58:56
Max sweep notice mid nine. Torque is also available.
13:59:04
And if you'd like a lap or two to play with that, increase torque and back on the mid, that could be useful.
14:01:10
Coming up to a sequence of blue flags. First one is Bortoleto.
14:02:12
Last lap was a tenth faster than Norris. Gap is 18 seconds, Max.
14:02:56
Fail 33.0. Fail 33.0. Fail. Nothing to be concerned about, Max, just redistributed things.
14:03:08
That is 20 laps remaining.
14:03:59
No transcript available
14:04:16
That car is awesome.
14:04:21
B-Bal offset plus one hundred.
14:04:53
Gap 80.2.
14:05:41
OK, next car it is, Gasly.
14:05:57
Max, Antonelli's slowing in the same place as Ocon.
14:06:12
So Antonelli has stopped. He's ahead of you.
14:06:38
Safety car deployed, Max. Safety car deployed. Why is that a safety car then? I don't get it.
14:06:50
We will box this lap, please, Max. Box this lap. Remember, strat 12 in pitlane. Strat. Let me know if you'd like a flap adjust. No, I think we're good. Understood. So just a reminder, strat 12 in pitlane and box.
14:07:25
Strat 11. Strat 11. White line on the exit and you will pick up, well, the safety car is at turn 6, Max. Safety car turn 6.
14:08:33
Safe car is at turn 14, Max.
14:08:39
OK, so few hearts for yourself, few hearts for Lando. He's now slipped behind Piastri.
14:08:50
Piastri did not pit as he was already on his second set of hard tyres. That's 17 laps for him already on that set.
14:09:33
Fail 3-3. Fail 33.
14:10:17
Double yellows here, Max. Recovery vehicle on track.
14:11:20
Max, we can have mode 3 now.
14:11:45
OK, that's 48 laps complete, 15 remain.
14:13:35
I'm actually happy with differential 9, which you currently still have, and also B-Bal is currently plus one.
14:13:45
OK, understood. Obviously just a usual offset once we get going.
14:14:31
Still double yellows, Max, double yellows, all the way up to turn nine.
14:15:27
So it won't be this lap either.
14:15:56
Could well be this lap max, as Antonelli's car is behind the barrier.
14:16:02
So that's now 50 laps complete.
14:16:33
There's a clearing around the accident site.
14:16:50
Still have the double yellow between turn 8 and turn 9.
14:17:22
I don't think it will be this lap max as Bearman, who is a lap down, has not yet been released.
14:18:15
OK, expected Bearman to be released now back, so stay on line. Stay on your racing line.
14:18:48
OK, so we think it's likely to be this lap max.
14:18:53
If it is, it will be 11 racing laps. 11 racing laps.
14:19:35
That's not this lap, Max. Not this lap.
14:21:18
OK, Max, save the car. It's in this lap then. So it'll be 10 racing laps. 10 racing laps.
14:21:32
Reminder, we are racing from the line and that's quite early on the straight. I'll keep you posted when safety car is in pitlane.
14:21:49
I'll just recharge off before turn 70. You can do that now. I'll let you know when safe to car is in pitlane.
14:23:31
Nine laps remaining.
14:24:03
DRS enabled. Gap 1.9.
14:27:57
Car behind, Norris, five seconds and it will be five laps remaining.
14:28:40
OK, Max. Five laps remaining.
14:29:00
Gap is 5.3 max. No heroics.
14:30:01
Yeah, that's four laps remaining, Max.
14:30:07
Done enough. You've won this on merit, so let's just make sure we do it. Four laps remaining. Half through.
14:30:18
Norris behind 18.4. Piastri is not a threat to him.
14:32:55
Gap is 6.2.
14:33:54
This is the final lap, mates.
14:35:14
Get out there, Max. Nice job, mate. Nice job.
14:35:22
Wow, Max, 400 races and you've won it. Brilliant. Brilliant drive. Brilliant weekend. Well done, mate. You really, really dominated that race. Yeah, exactly that. Brilliant weekend. That was a fantastic execution all around. Thank you very much. And yeah, not bad. One hour 400 race.
14:35:44
Well done, everyone. That was a very strong Saturday and Sunday, so well deserved that. Great job.
14:35:53
Mega, mega job. Pit stops were great, particularly after the boys put in a big shift last night as well. So, great result all round and really proud of your drive today. 124. Yes, everyone can be very proud of everyone's effort all weekend. Great job.
