Radio check.

What's the delta between what we have now in aerobalance and what we had in P2? This is the same aerobalance, car balance.

Climb car balance or aero balance? Car balance, but aero balance.

I can't hear you, Laura.

Basically the same parabolic balance by 0.1.

Five minutes to go.

Three minutes.

Okay, Esteban, so everybody including Alonso at the front is on medium, but then Norris and Leclerc are on hard, but the four cars in front are on medium, behind us is everybody on hard. Also Gasly and Lawson starting from the pitlane on hard.

In front medium and behind up.

Thank you, Pierre.

Sixty-six laps to go.

Shift, go, alt, push, alt, push.

You can go back to mode push.

Sixty-three laps to go.

Wasn't mode F2, yeah? I'd push.

Oh, this is worse. What was the mode before? Yes, mode F2 is correct then. Watch traction out of 10.

Sixty-one laps to go.

Had a poor shift before turn one. Eight gear.

Info, the medium starters are starting to struggle. Our pace is still good.

Fifty-nine laps to go.

68 laps to go.

No clock signs regarding the downshift. You see it?

Little bit of abrasion on mine. Front left starting to appear. Inside shoulder. Copy.

Medium starters are starting to pit. Hadjar behind is pitted.

Yeah, it's a limitation front.

Understood. How is your balance? OK so far. Copy.

55 laps to go. Five cars have pitted now.

OK, we're happy with your pace.

There will be a fight with Hamilton at pit exit.

Hadjar on two halves is doing 17.5. Still happy with the pace.

Hamilton behind us on paths.

Grip getting better now.

OK, Olli is pitching. 51 laps to go.

OK, Sainz behind is on the same strategy. We need to keep him behind.

Sainz behind has reported braking.

Little bit down front left for me. Bit rear left too. Copy.

It's opening up a bit more now, front left.

Copy on the tyres. Remember your deck switch.

Only a few halves. He's doing 60 in seven.

Problems getting sideways now.

We're still happy. 43 laps to go. Watch traction 7.

Pace is good. As you can see, gap to Sainz opening up. Safety car window is open.

Forty laps to go. Turn seven. Traction.

As it stands, if we can, we have to spend the last time on the medium as possible.

Info, behind Sainz it's Alonso on 16 lap hearts.

37 laps to go.

Alonso now, car behind.

Thirty-five laps to go.

Thirty-four laps to go.

OK, we're very happy with the progress at the moment.

Driver default C01. OK.

How much pace do you have left?

I do, I can hold that. Copy, 18 laps to go.

We are on plan A, plus five, 17 laps to go.

What's the lap count now?

Happy to extend further if you... No, F3. F3, Esteban.

Okay, Esteban, we're thinking plus one, plus one. And box this lap.

Mid two and brake balance 58.5.

So we will get blue flags, but we'll come out ahead of Colapinto.

OK, blue flag for Antonelli. Don't lose a lot of time.

No, we should be fine. Seven laps to go.

DRS or no DRS? No DRS yet.

Four laps to go. Yellow turn one, yellow turn one. Watch for debris, watch for debris.

Safety car, safety car. Stay positive on delta and mode slow.

How many laps to go? So after this one it will be four laps to go.

We'll follow the safety car through the pitlane. Safety car through the pitlane. There'll be a lot of debris. Do we think it's going to restart? Maybe for one lap.

Step on in. Hoping, remember the pitlimiter.

Let me know when it's a second time pass. Yeah, the next one will be your second pass.

Follow the safety car through the pitlane. This will be your second time past.

So it's three laps to go, Esteban. So behind you is two laps to go.

They should not restart. It's too short for everything. We haven't even crossed the start line. Yes, I agree.

Behind you is obviously Sainz, same tyre age. And then behind him is Piastri on a soft, who's pitted.

Only cars ahead that are one lap ahead.

Safety car will go through the pitlane again.

Is that the last lap? Yes, you will be on your final lap.

There will be no racing, correct? Unlikely.

OK, the safety car will come in, but we will finish the race. No overtaking before the line. On track, yeah? On track, on track.

OK, that's the chequered flag.

Not the most exciting finish, but we are P9.

Very good job. Awesome race, honestly. Awesome, awesome. Well done. I didn't really believe in what we were going for, but it worked out, so yeah, I can only say well done.

Yeah, thank you. I'll tell the important people. No, well done, you kept in front of Sainz. You did a good job. Thank you.

Hey, Esteban, it's Ayo here. Great job. Really, really good job. Good tyre management. You made it work. Fantastic.

Thank you, Ayao. Thank you. Yeah, it was a good team effort. Well done.

And, yeah, the car was well set up for the condition, Laura, and Tasha. Good job. And Mike.

Just wait in the garage one sideway. I need to talk to you quickly.
