Can I go and get your check, Henry? Yeah, we're good.

OK, I'm going to go soon. Just remember, it's a long race, 78 laps, so it's good to come between us to understand how the race is unfolding. There's going to be mistakes, there's going to be good decisions. Let's try to be the ones making the good decisions and working together with that, OK? Have a good one, buddy. Thank you.

And remember, we have this new procedure called a power-up. It's delayed by 30 seconds, the last one, OK?

OK, radio check from Beijing, Alan. Four minutes ten. Yeah, all good. Thank you.

OK, a few minutes.

OK, so as expected, there's a mix. Two cars are starting on soft. Directly behind Yuki Tsunoda, new, soft. Ahead of you. Directly ahead of you. Lawson, used, soft. Boys, there's probably half of the grid on hard, half of the grid on medium. On medium, Alex, Ocon, Hadjar, ahead of you. Then the top three cars ahead of you are Verstappen, Alonso, Hamilton. I looked at behind of interest. MGP are both on hard.

Spyro. 20 seconds.

10 seconds, last power up after one minute.

One minute, last power up, once power up, limiter on and confirm. No BPF is needed.

That's 30 seconds.

Five, four, three, two, one.

OK, the drop was on target.

Do something, spare tyres.

Next three, 5.6.

Confirm.

Make sure you can use the tunnel, get to Petra.

4th form, please, you can take open.

Next one from seven head.

And Norris are just making everybody queue at turn 18. So I'll try to exit in 16 if you will pop.

And no more full load please, P recording.

It will be three burnouts. You did good on your tyres. Three degrees up to Alex.

Over your right-hand side, three burnouts.

P2 target, 2% deeper. Good car custom, 2% deeper, OK.

Five more cars to stop on the grid. Four more.

Oscar Biel, Hulkenberg, Hulkenberg, Oscar Biel.

Bortoleto will pit with front wing damage. Bearman pitting. Go SC, stay positive. Stay positive, work your tyres. Tyre warming. Priority and stay positive. There is potentially debris at turn 8. Bortoleto on the wall. Front wing. Go SC, please.

Tsunoda, Gasly, Bearman and Bortoleto.

And turn 8, stay on the inside, right-hand side to avoid debris. Bortoleto hit the wall on the outside.

Oscar Piagno, Hulkenberg, medium, then Russell on penalty on hard.

You're good on your tyres. Keep working them.

Ah, you don't give a fuck about Paul Gasly or Bortoleto or Bearman.

Fernando Alonso. Fernando Alonso. Fernando Alonso. Fernando Alonso. Fernando Alonso. Fernando Alonso. Fernando Alonso. Fernando Alonso. Fernando Alonso. Fernando Alonso. Fernando Alonso. Fernando Alonso. Fernando Alonso. Fernando Alonso. Fernando Alonso. Fernando Alonso.

I feel like people are not driving to Delta. We are plus three. Okay, understood. That's Hamilton butching up everybody. He's leaving a gap of three to Alonso. Maybe he's doing it for Leclerc, so...

FIA should look at it.

Still double yellow tonnette, so keep working your tyres. He's done, leaving a gap of four to Alonso.

ESC ending, currently looking exit turn 11 for restart. So go race, go race, get ready for restart, exit turn 11. Watch out the light and watch the front tyre at the restart.

Still coming up. 70 to go.

Spacefield slope. Spacefield.

I think Lawson is backing up. Alex, that's the pace. Lawson, 21.5. Hadjar, 20. 19.5.

Tsunoda, Gasly will soon catch the pack. Just keep doing what you're doing.

Double yellow ahead turn 10-11. Watch out for debris. He's going on the inside, so driver left turn 11, so stay on the right-hand side turn 11. Gasly hit the wall and retiring.

I think we should get Alex to try and put pressure on this guy. Pitlane is closed, pitlane is closed. We stay out.

On double yellow turn 10-11, double yellow turn 10-11.

I have understeer from Lawson. I'm pretty sure he's trying everything. 6k to go.

What about undercutting Lawson with Alex? Pitch 100 is closed, so I'll let you know if he wanted to do anything.

It's green after turn 10. P10 is open. Tyres still ramping up.

Watch out, front lock 10-5, front lock 10-5.

Just a quick 1.5 second at Lawson, backing up Alex.

Oscar Piaggino, Norris.

Cameras clicked for new art.

Just for me to understand, why are we not doing the same with Alex? I'll see back to you. The pit window of Hadjar will be down in one lap. We expect Lawson to increase the pace.

Before Alex will lose too much track position. He's going on a long plan.

I don't understand. Why am I on the hard?

I think it's because it's the best part of the season for both cars. It's the best part of the season for both cars, Carlos.

I just want to increase the pace drastically, around two seconds.

I'm thinking, I'm generally struggling.

Lawson will back up again, so we'll keep backing up for a second between 2 and 1.

I guess this is what they had in Europe.

Ok, I'm ahead of us. I don't think Ocon has pitted as well.

Lando Norris, Hulkenberg, F-XAW, 8.8.

Just keep managing your tyres so you have tyre length when you're free and you can push, OK? Just waiting a moment. And your tyres are still spinning up to 10.

I think it's the best goal from Alex as well. Go and try to shoot a little box here, OK?

I've hit the nice little gas well.

Until nine cars get to the top, top four and the five cars around you.

OK, 29 to go. Hadjar has pitched again. He's down. He's to stop. Quite close not to fill up space from no one. The tyres are still not yet to top.

For info, Verstappen on hard, 15.3, behind Peter Stroll, 16.9 on hard.

P6 for group. Alonso, P6 on A, 18.9, so you are catching him. Control the group.

Manage your front lock turn 5.

OK, Carlos. Critical instruction. Lap time target 19.0, please. Hold position. Lap time target 19.0.

Try to do the lap time in low speed to the pace in high speed for tyres, please.

You have energy to use overtake. Every lap exit turn 8. Let's do that.

Come again, please. I saw two flags.

Uh-oh. That was a mistake. Don't worry about it.

Yeah, the fewer the better.

Marty Alex, 11 ahead.

There's going to be a blue flag from very soon. 34 car behind you.

Be careful about the blue flag with the match beyond.

Norris is behind the two Mercs at the moment and will have more blue flag.

Okay, first guy behind you is not Norris. Keep the pace by one second, no? Keep the pace by one second, no?

Push, push, push. Backspace, backspace, backspace. Critical. Lawson is pitting. We might get him.

Use energy exit turn 90. Use energy exit turn 90.

And use overtake exit turn one. Use overtake exit turn one. It will be tight.

Back on that pace. And that makes me like Leclerc to be honest. I watch out for the centre-back Leclerc.

That's blue flag for Leclerc. And after Leclerc's part, let's go back on that face target at 19.0, please.

And you can push on exit turn 90. You have to push.

Take the last lap with the pace Alex Knaaps has proved for Piastri. Russell just behind Piastri.

It was so enormous going to be a million tonne. We had the two most personal books back.

Go ahead. That's Fabiano Hamilton. 1.2. Russell just behind. That's full flag for Hamilton.

Alonso has retired, so we are P9 and P10.

Race is not over. We still have 40 laps to do something, OK? So make sure you give the gap to Alex quickly enough and we are done to recover, OK?

X2 ahead. He's on hard. He will go through a warm-up.

Are we going to try and finish the general?

We'll come back to you. We're monitoring that. We'll do the teamwork again, OK? Coming your way.

The earlier the better because I don't have a lot more tyres. I mean, I have the tyres, but whatever.

I will swap position, turn 12 now. Swap position, turn 12 now. Critical. Remember, the car ahead is keeping the racing line.

Let's watch. Rear slip exit turn 1 and 5, turn 1 and 5.

Lawson at 4, lapping in 5.15. Alex behind 7 seconds.

Yeah, this is my place. 6-0. Yeah, that's fine.

32 to go. Alex, 9.6 behind.

Button on. Single, double button on.

Box, box, box, box. Watch out for white line. Limiter.

Going for a new medium.

Push hard out. I'm doing the same.

Lifetop is in box on max or brakes. Watch the light.

Russell Protezic. Russell Protezic. Use energy.

It's still good. We do the same again. So Russell will push behind you, but you're good. OK? Backspace.

What is Alex? What's happening? Just following the same plan. Following the same plan. Doing good.

25 to go. Pace is good. Quickest of the car, plus three, 14-0. Come to me.

Look after Russell, lady. He's the biggest pussy one, I guess. No, he's OK. He hasn't done any stop. You're good.

Don't worry about the result. I will stay ahead of Alex.

Box, box, box, box, watch out white line, pit limiter.

Lime stop is in. Box on max. All brakes, watch the light.

We'll manage turn 3, 4 on the outlap, then we can push. 24 to go. There will be the leaders on pit exit. Watch out for the leaders on pit exit. Verstappen on start, he should be ahead. Potentially Leclerc with you on pit exit. Alex will be ahead.

Watch out, Norris with you. And then Leclerc behind. Russell has done his first stop. He's done his two stops, 23 to go. And managed turn 34 on this lap. That's blue flag for Leclerc. And our position to Russell.

Okay, looking at the medium that is in a lap with Alex, first thing to expect, rear axle operating to be the main limitation. Okay, sorry.

Reaching. Yes, rear where? Rear reaching.

Blue 3, position 5. It's not urgent. Blue 3, position 5. Not urgent.

Be very quiet. Come again, please, very quiet.

And we'd like to revise lap time target to 16.5, 16.590. Go.

You're very quiet, I can understand you. Check your balaclava. Next blue flag, Piastri, three behind.

F5. F5 and track 11 for EB. Track 11 for EB.

And torque 14 is minimum. Yes, I will. Towards the end, we will swap the cars back. Piastri, blue flag, one second.

Blue flag for Piastri. One second. One second, Piastri.

I'll come back to you on that. Do your pace, I'll come back to you on that.

Watch out rear lock turn 10 and 18. Brake earlier.

There's nothing to gain where we are. Everyone has done their stops, so we just want to...

I just need to fix the points.

Russell has pitted. Alex Fabian, he will catch you. When he catches you, he will be looking at doing the swap.

And I will be offline in 2.12 for you. Offline for you.

You're back off two more second on this lap and next lap, because I currently P9.3.

Box three behind. We'll do the swap next lap.

Swap this lap, Alex, 15.1.

4 behind. Remember, exit turn 11. Off-racing line for you. Alex will take the position.

I'm happy with what you're doing, but when you're slower, make sure you push the high speed for five times.

Just an information so you know, Alex will have to lift to turn 9 from the run. Just so you know, Alex will lift to turn 9 from the run.

We're monitoring something with him, so we'll have to lift turn nine as a contingency.

You're very low, I cannot hear you.

Alex is increasing the pace now, all of the control inside.

In your last lap, Verstappen has pitted. He will emerge behind you. You should be clear of blue flag.

Flag. They cleared the flag. P10. P10. Well, it was not the most of a fun out there, but once Lawson was doing what he was doing, we were trapped. If we had done anything differently, MGP would have done to us what we've done to them. That was the best outcome from that point, really. Painful, but best outcome, so P9, P10. Good job, mate.

Yeah, good job. No, it's not your fault, it's your fault.

I guess it's a terrible day for racing in general, but I guess we'll manage.

You go that and pick up proper, please. Go that and pick up proper.

Well done, Carlos. I don't think anyone enjoyed racing this way, but thank you very much for playing the team game. You did a great job with Alex. It's valuable points that I think will make a difference in the season.

Just, Carlos, your radio was quite low. I don't know if it was your balaclava. Yeah, my balaclava is wet.

Go to Parc fermé.

To park the car. Go fully. Back to P0. Jump out. Wave yourself.

It's Norris, Leclerc, Piastri, Verstappen. He just delayed his last stop to maybe take any opportunity to win it.

On P5, Hadjar, Ocon, Lawson, Alex and you for P10.
