Any concern on brake temperature getting to the grid?

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90.

Alonso is probably ahead of me.

Yes, mate. Copy that.

He knows the rules.

So we've got Sainz sat on the grid at the moment. The car is still there.

Okay, so cars might bunch up here.

OK, mate, so we have an aborted start. Aborted start.

So, going up to the grid, follow all the cars in front.

You confirm no burnouts? No burnouts, please go to the grid.

OK, Pierre, so you're going to come to a stop in the same place, please.

And when you get there, you're going to switch off. Everyone's going to come medium.

So you are going to go to P1. The guys are going to come with me here and we'll be ripping the tyres as soon as possible.

So, Pierre, I would stay in the car for the moment, please. We're waiting for a 10-minute restart time, which, given Sainz has now cleared the grid, I would suspect will be very shortly.

Let's get the blankets on, please.

Everybody got blankets on? Yeah, we're working on it.

Okay, mate. So, we have got a restart time of just over 10 minutes. I'll be back with you shortly. At the moment, we're going to keep this tyre set fitted because even if we're waiting for a moment, the temperatures are going to be higher than another set. We're going to keep this on.

Is Sainz starting from the pitlane?

Does that mean the race is one lap shorter as well?

In terms of tyre run-up and brake on that formation lap we did, anything different? I didn't do the burnout at all. Is it all good or...?

Brake temperatures.

Copy. B-Module.

So exactly the same procedure.

Thank you for watching.

I've lost him a gap again, Pierre.

Okay, so we'll keep those three burnouts. Stay in the same place as before.

I'll confirm your grip position via the honkboard camera.

Last cars forming up.

Safety car, stay out, stay out. Safety car, stay out. Recharge on and positive on the delta.

Okay, so staying on track then.

Recovery vehicles on track at turn three.

OK, mate, so brake temp's OK at this point. Let's just keep an eye on them as we go. P6 currently. Good job. Yep.

Staying positive on the delta. No-one in the pitlane.

All right, so order around us. In front we've got Russell, then Hamilton, then Leclerc. Behind Albon, Bortoleto, Lawson, and then Fernando. Everyone behind is on mediums.

OK, so let's focus on tyre warm-up as best you can. Good job so far.

OK, at the moment we're looking at plan C plus five. Plan C plus five.

Who boxed? Hadjar boxed.

OK, safety car in this lap, so let's get ready, focused on the restart.

OK, switches are all good, so we just need to recharge off and restart.

So, SOC 5 is available for one lap.

That last drop was slow, so I did the aerosnap.

Colin Wade in the cars behind. Good job.

I was just within DRS that time. Stick with it. That's good.

Safety car window is open. Safety car window open.

Struggling with the rear. Exit 12 for high-speed support. Exit 12.

That BSC window also opened.

All right, I'll stick with it. I won't waste a go yet.

Just try to stick with Albon. Yes, you can.

Sorry, it was too hard, guys. Understood. Fucking suddenly. Understood.

Okay, mate, so update the tyre phase switch when you can, please. Update tyre phase switch.

Hard tyre close to Bearman pit exit.

Overtake available.

The Mesa on a straight plan C.

I'm losing so much time.

We need to do something deep left corner now. We need to understeer. Understood. We'll work on it.

Diff exit 10 to help last corner. Sock 5 available for one lap at a time if needed.

I might have to settle down. That was good.

Okay, mate. Clean air now. Let's take advantage of it.

I want to pace every lap like the guys we're fighting with. Yeah, understood.

Cars like Bortoleto and Lawson, they're in our pit window, lacking almost a second slower at the moment.

I have no tyre management at the moment. Understood.

The management you're doing at the moment is fine, more quicker than the cars that we need to be, so keep it up.

I picked up a lot of, a lot of understeer at turn one this track. Understood, we'll see if we can help with switches.

OK, let's go diff mid 3 to help with that understeer. Diff mid 3.

If we keep lap times low, one minute eleven, that's good.

Could be close with Russell pit exit. Overtake available.

I think she'll come out behind me.

So about three tenths of a lap quicker than Bortoleto and Lawson.

The car is so bad in the last corner. Can you check? Understood.

No, it's not easy, but we're happy with the pace. All right, let's keep this up. You're doing a good job.

I think turn 10 is one of the most wind affected corners at the moment. Stick with it.

Oh, God bless, I should come out behind.

That's okay, I'm out three cars back.

Update slip. All okay at the moment.

Okay, happy to decrease status. Point one a lap if possible.

My tyres are healthy, everything's stabilised, so we're on plan B.

OK, mate, so second and a half in front of Russell, a Stroll and Hadjar. Second lap slower than us. We should get them.

Hulkenberg picked his pace up last lap 10.8.

Plan C minus five. Plan C minus five.

Happy with tyre energies at the moment.

Supercut push-up to Hadjar.

Stop 5 to defend if needed or overtake.

I have no grip! Fucking crazy!

I'm about to spin every corner. OK, man, understood. All right, let's tighten up those dip switches. Touch the board on brake balance. Add some rear support.

Let's bring in a little lift and coast just to help look after the traction zones on exit.

Give me some GPS, like, come on, it has no coms. So all this deck is thermal. First off, keep the lift and coast up.

So, we need to try and stick with Hulkenberg and Bortoleto as best we can for our plan C-7.

Can I do something last corner? Yes. Driveable last corner. I'm set for help.

Diff exit 12. I'll turn 10. Diff exit 12.

Gravel on track. Exit turn 4. Bridge 5.

Also, I can't have a car behind 1.2.

Stop 5 or overtake to the left.

I'm 0.8 behind.

Turkey, something is broken, it's crazy. Copy.

I don't know how much more I can stay on track. Yeah, understood mate. We're working on it. Stick with it, please.

OK, mate, I know this is difficult. Just head down, stick with it, please. We're working on it.

OK, so situation. Cars behind Lawson and Fernando. They've only done one stop. They're going to the end on the hard tyre.

I literally don't care, just do what's best for me. I don't care about the race. Absolutely. There's a long way to go yet, but stick with it, please.

OK mate, are these tyre temps come down? Thermal bag will get better, will improve. Stick with it.

Let's keep up that bit of lift and coast, that will help as well.

Yeah, what do you think about the back angle for the next tyre?

It's a grip, so it doesn't matter if you look at the plan.

Let's update that tyre phase switch again, please. Keep us updated on that tyre phase switch update.

Medium tyre 1, turn down, clear pit exit.

OK, start immediately with lift and coast, please. Look after the rear after action on this set. Tsunoda behind. Eight lap hold mediums. We're racing.

That's a good stoplight there, bro.

30 laps to go, 3-0.

How many laps did we do on the last 10?

6.26. As the fuel load comes off, this will get easier.

Plenty of people out there have done long stints on the medium. We can't make it work.

Okay, pace update's coming shortly.

OK, man, I'm down. Current status. 1.

Okay, cars were racing at lap times 10-0, 10-0.

Let's try and focus on the exits of 6th, 7th and 10th. Sacrifice a little on the entry to help those.

OK, that's good. Just bring those entries back a little bit. Focus on the exits.

We are happy for rear slips to increase slightly.

Good job, let's keep building this up.

23 laps to go.

Can I have any main balance limitation, please, when you come?

I know you are. Stick with it, please. Come on.

OK mate, keep cool head, we'll get there. So we've got Leclerc four seconds behind, we will get blue flags for him.

EU2, position 1. EU2, position 1.

OK, mate, so happy to increase rear slip. Exits 7 and 9. Exits 7 and 9.

OK, I need to go up on differential and hit high speed.

It's just overtake usage to help get past Stroll.

Mode 4 when you can, mode 4 when you can.

17 to go, mode 4 for a performance boost.

Brake force forwards to plus two.

Okay, so Stroll's pitted. Norris, the car behind, he's the leader.

Fresh medium tyres. Piastri in P2, four and a half seconds behind.

Blue flag, Norris.

Maybe Astri three and a half behind P2.

Piastri, two and a half. Car behind him is Franco, six seconds back, 15 lap on heart.

OK mate, let's settle back into it now.

Yeah, man, let's keep on the lift and coast to help those tractions.

I'm struggling. No more rear tyres.

OK, mate, go for the moment. Let's focus on that. Lift the coast and just help with traction so it's as best you can. Alright, stick with it for now.

Got 11 to go. 11, lads.

Okay, keep going as best you can.

So we just need to be a little careful of Stroll. He's at 14. Right, I'm flat out. Yeah. Yeah, I know you are. I don't know. Let me just find my verstappen.

Nine to go. Car behind Leclerc, 4.3.

I don't think I'll be able to brake right now. I don't think there's any in here.

Tire temps are starting to come down now. That will help. Stay with it, mate.

I think Hadjar, two cars in front of me, I have damage like a woman in twelves.

Five laps to go.

Hamilton, three and a half behind.

Hamilton 2.3 behind. Sock 2 at the end of the lap, please. Sock 2.

After this one or with this one? So, blue flag. We'll get a blue flag for Hamilton and then four and a half to Stroll. Three laps including this one.

Two laps to go from now. I've got to watch for Stroll three and a half.

And sock five. Sock five.

Last lap. Last lap. Gap behind 2.1.
