Road closure. Can you hear me?

Gear altered. 16, power up in 20 seconds. When you drop, remember to focus on that drop to line 2.

Coppy, will you need a fight point? That's a negative. Remember, just once the eyes fired up at one minute, we need a few blips.

OK, you're going to do drops. I'm going to be on my way. Bit of a walk. Let's have a good warm-up and some good calms on what we're trying to achieve. Once I know, start tyres and I'll feed back to you, OK?

DRS enabled. Verstappen, Antonelli, P7 for medium.

A plus six is to manage the tyres to achieve that.

Antonelli, point seven.

Check C6 to go on P7. Are you happy with the speed rate on 2 and 4? Yeah, OK.

Sixty-five to go on P1.7.

Car turn 80.7. Leclerc asks team for new mid-jump. You can open deep mid for low speed. Protect front lock turn 2.

Yeah, I'm happy with the balance, I'm happy with the car.

Go race. Update on status, please. Antonelli point seven. Stay tuned. Be offset happy here.

Feels like we are better placed.

Closing lap 8. 62 to go. Antonelli 0.7.

Let's think about the front left panel a little bit more. I think the soft coat parts are working good.

Closing lap. 9, 6, 1 to go to get in form 8. Feeling good.

7, 6, 6 to go. Alonso, P5 ahead. Tic-tac-toe pace, 23.1. Yeah. 4, 3, 2, 0 for pitlane.

Thank you for using the dual track toggle.

Closing lap 11. Tonight we'll go until early point 8. Doing good.

Where's Hulkenberg?

You come back five seconds inside window 15 behind. Update on status when you can.

I think it's Borto.

Hulkenberg will have to serve a five-second penalty as well.

Hulkenberg moving before the start.

I thought you said me.

I think it's Hulkenberg, left of serve. I'm sorry. Pitch A to go.

I can't reach the bottom.

Inside the DRS of this guy.

That is a purple button on, purple button off.

Yes, but I will lose lap time for a caution.

I'm about to lose DRS with them.

I can't lap it balanced like you can.

You've lost DRS. Yeah, I've lost DRS. Feedback on flap, please, on turn 8.7.

I'm happy. That's the plan. Yes, plan.

We can do five more laps. We can see through plan C. Plan A or B would be this lap.

What do you think? Cookie box.

And that's box confirmed. Watch out, white line in the middle.

Mode 9, pretty cold, left stop. Watch the lights.

Clear to exit. Outlap critical. Alex, three behind.

No one reacting, I guess.

OK, we're going to have mode 5, mode 5. Verstappen just pitted his 5 ahead of you. We have to put Bearman in or put Lawson still two seconds offside.

We need both 5, both 5 lap time optimum.

Approach turn mode 6 when you can, now turn mode 6 please.

52 Togo tyres. Appearance of Steep 1 was clean. Verstappen, Fabregge, Rochon, Hart. When you can, green 10, position 6, please. Green 10, position 6.

But rear left sector, rear left 9-11.

Ok, lap time target is below 22.5 driving on status 2.

Uuuuuh.

OK, just a car that has not been hit on pit 23, pit 23.

So you put Lawson, Stroll and Schulte on the little window, thinking what you're doing. Forty-nine to go, we may shift to plan C.

Copy, you're relatively low, but yes, copy.

It's gone far, that Alexis Sarr.

I told her, I...

And back on pace. 3 and 3 and 2. Use both the tyres on exit.

OK, you're going to have FLU 7 position 5. You're very low on the radio. I cannot hear you. You're catching Hulkenbergs on 10 laps all the way to medium and you're catching the starters on Hard, Gasly and Ableton.

And in mode 7 and blue 7 position 5, Hulkenberg is 1.2 seconds slower than you. It will be critical for a race to pass them.

Just ahead, you can feel shuffling, 12 and 14, also slow because of Gasly. Gasly on 24 laps full power.

Your left button is still off. Make sure that's the driver's left button.

Suggestion, B-Bal rotary 5 and use the left button for turn 2.

Okay, 44 to go for the Cooper H. It's Bearman in line. Everyone is yet to pit, but Verstappen.

Just be mindful of your turn 11 rear left.

Stop thinking of playing with overtake and on pitch when you're DRSed.

That's a gap point five, gap point five.

I cannot tell you. I cannot tell you what that will be. That's 7.8. Looks difficult to pass.

Copied man. Yes, we've missed the S-train. I feel the fact Gasly is struggling. Hulkenberg will try to go for him.

Pierre Bearman has hit.

We expect the race to be dry to the end. Dry to the end.

Consider left to go to 14 when you're dirtier.

Turn back from 7.39 to 1.

Think about moving brake balance forward. Alpha plus one.

Okay, let's just come back. So we come back on the lap called medium.

37 to go, so you can go on a medium, may push more than you. It's important that we stay test, status 2 is pushing hard. We'll be on a 2-stop.

These are the types of people who just pit it.

Bearman 22.5, 22.5.

Your race is to manage your tyres. That is all.

36 to go, just sector 3. Watch out for entry. Make sure you have good exit. Managing your tyres on exit.

Stroll, Lawson on all, medium, yet to pit, 23.2, just in your window.

Lap time target 23.0. Please come to VIP on the flap when it's confirmed. Copy. Yes.

So, which position are we on?

Year 11.

Take a look at P11. Stroll too behind on the scrub part. You have two cars there to pit in your pit window.

He hasn't completed a full lap. He may have a one-lap pass.

Mode 11 now. Always gate exit 14. Mode 11.

And 4.6. It will be hard to defend. Try. This is a virtual P9.

Copy, we stand at status 2, status 2.

Worries, Pite.

Okay, so we're P12. If you come back, that's P11 and Lawson is only one second in your pit window.

I see Hamilton as well. Hamilton is only eight seconds ahead of you.

So we still have a potential 10 on the kart, OK?

Confirm. 31 to go. Priority to stay. Status 2.

Stay in status 2. Protect your rear left. Going to the end. I feel front limited on rear.

We think his Ford Axle Titan 3LF will be wet.

If we can lean on the front axle at high speed without touching the rear, let's do so.

Let's do so and if you can move brake balance forward.

Watch Lawson on pit exit, Lawson on pit exit.

S-H Lawson, 2 behind on fresh hard. It will be hard to decide. Mode 7, it's lap time optimum. Mode 7 when you can. 29 to go.

Watch out, last part, last 20% of throttle.

Hamilton has pitted. You're P9. Lawson may have a one-lap pass, but then you're racing Antonelli for P10.

Don't focus. He's on turn 81.3 behind. He's on six laps pressure tyre.

Pressure. Yep. Active pressure.

Mode 11 now, please. Mode 11. Alternative 1-0.

Antonelli, 29, 27. That's your race for P10.

I would like to stop high-speed management. No more high-speed management. That should work.

Antonelli 0.7, 0.7, gap to pass is 0.5.

What is our other alternative? Box and water.

1.7. He has a six-lap pressure. Alternative is to wait for Piastri to be in our window and box for medium.

I've moved the pit forward a bit.

That would be P19 after pitstop.

324.2. I don't think anything can be done on him. Brake balance forward is for tyre temp. You can take it.

And blue 7 position 2 when you can. Blue 7 position 2 when you can.

Capinal, Ocon, 22.4. You can race, Ocon, thank you. I think you can go to the end with this. I think you should.

Can't wait for the safety car to pit.

Major thing, we can get two cars up to the pitstop, not 30, you need 12, 21 to go.

Realistically, it's that Ocon will have to defend Hamilton and Gasly and pressure upper. He's 1.6 behind. Get in DRS trail with you. He might be able to defend Hamilton and Gasly and protect your P12.

Fuck, my tyres are gone. I have understeer at turn 80.

First car behind, I'm in turn 1. Fuck.

More water. Let me know.

Whatever you do, stay on the racing line. Between turn point 4 and behind, he will have an easy pass on you. Stay on the racing line.

Ocon Verstappen, Ocon 1.7. He has Gasly one second behind him. Gasly doesn't have the pace and less tyre advantage. And we're going to get Blue, Black, Flute, Norris all behind him.

Box, box, box, box, watch that white light in the middle.

30.10. Mode 9. Mode 9. 19 to go. Moving to medium. Down 1 on the flap. Racing Colapinto on exit. He'll have a tyre advantage. He's on the 15 laps old arm. Watch all the brakes. Watch the light.

Look behind. First car in front of you is P4. First car you're racing is Tsunoda. Tsunoda on 14 laps cold hard.

Try not. You might have a one-lap pace.

Let's follow Russell. He will take the blue flag of cars ahead. That will help us.

Oxide will try to attack Hulkenberg. 8 ahead.

We're on 10 laps for the medium.

Nico Hulkenberg, 20.7, 20.7, 60 to go.

Come back point one point three.

Nine second range is Ocon. 13 out of 14 laps he used hard, holding everyone.

Yeah, Hulkenberg is not slow.

He's going too slow, guys. Ocon, 22.2 last lap.

I bet I'm gonna get blue flags from Leclerc and Russell directly ahead of you.

Nürburgring blue flag, Nürburgring blue flag, Nürburgring blue flag, Nürburgring blue flag, Nürburgring blue flag, Nürburgring blue flag, Nürburgring blue flag, Nürburgring blue flag, Nürburgring blue flag, Nürburgring blue flag, Nürburgring blue flag, Nürburgring blue flag, Nürburgring blue flag, Nürburgring blue flag, Nürburgring blue flag, Nürburgring blue flag, Nürburgring blue flag, Nürburgring blue flag, Nürburgring blue flag, Nürburgring blue flag, Nürburgring blue flag, Nürburgring blue flag, Nürburgring blue flag, Nürburgring blue flag, Nürburgring blue flag, Nürburgring blue flag, Nürburgring blue flag, Nürburgring blue flag

I'm going to overtake him in the pole.

I hate Alex.7. He will do us disgusting to turn one.

Next we'll do it in 2-3-1 this lap.

So we'll do it now, 221. We have Ocon, Gasly, Willard, Ocon 4.5 ahead.

See, we have to take a look back soon.

You have energy. Use push and hold.

Still have energy for this lap. Focus, exit, then 40.

Copy. We saw that.

Copy. We saw and we're reporting. We saw and we're reporting.

Tire pressures are OK. Feedback enabled.

8 to go, 8 to go. We still have a pacemaker, still have a camber and Gasly.

OK, still very quiet. Sorry, still very quiet.

Stabilised energy. Fuel energy.

And if you're not making the pass turn 1, think about anti-turn 1 to have energy into turn 2.

Level 1 rated 14.

No concern, aero side, no concern.

That's a toll to fail at all.

It will be 5 to go. We have the pace to go to Cape Verde.

Gilbert, 2.3 ahead. Gilbert, last lap 20.6.

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

Nuclear 2-4. 1-0 to him. Struggling with pace. 21.8. Remember, use that for DRS training.

Really have to understand. Look, left 21.8.

I'll be at 21.4.

Looks like the 8th. Hulkenberg will pass. No, we have to pass Leclerc. Try to get Hulkenberg. He loves to go.

Boat 10 now, please. Boat 10 and use overtake. Look past Leclerc.

Should be an easy pass. It will be two to go. We'll come back 2.1 and see if we can catch him.

Everything you have now. Everything you have.

Push and hold exit at 14. We'll open your last lap.

This is the last lap. Use your energy.

Push on exit 11 and exit last corner.

OK, let's check the flag. Check the flag. Go that blue 1-3-7-12, please. Go that blue 1-3-7-12. Pick up reverse off-line, off-track, please.

And that's P14. Rotat is not going. Gasly overdressed quite a bit. I would have been a recovery to P13. I think we tried. One stop didn't work. There was potential for a point but didn't make it. I think that was good to try. Good race, not good battle out there.

We won't push at full throttle.

Strong drive today, Carlos. Well done. I think I was positioned more ahead of you, but you did a good job. Ultimately, we need to go into the break, reset, and we'll come back at races that we're going to be much, much stronger at. Thank you for this first half of the season.

Just try to avoid long sustained brake pressure.

P0 and go HCF first thing. So Norris one with one stop. Piastri two stop. He's just 0.7 behind him.
