We're in a check. We're in a check.

Copy. Copy.

Over to you, Liam.

Yeah, copy. Thank you, guys, for all your effort. It was a long evening. Thanks a lot for all the hard work. Thanks, guys. Good luck.

Thank you for watching.

Franco, can we have clutch 5, please? Clutch 5.

Good work on tyres and brakes there.

Last car on the grid.

Safety car, safety car.

Recharge on, positive on the delta. So we've got Piastri in the warp at 5.

Copy. Blue is towed. Negative.

Do what we can to keep temperature on tyre. Let's have some weaving, please. It's that risk of rain that is on the radar that we want to keep fluid here.

Good job at the start there, mate. Really good start.

We've got a recovery vehicle on track around turn 4-5 area at the moment. We need to stay to the left-hand side around 4-5. Piastri's in the water on the right-hand side of turn 5.

Yes, we do see some high slips on that first half. I know we're fighting there. We just want to settle in. Let's manage that and go forwards with the bias. Happy to keep this for the restart. Just for info, Ocon stopped onto the medium tyre. Albon stopped onto the hard tyre.

Guys, the car is still there in the barriers. Keep to the left-hand side, please.

So, Piastri's car is now moving, so we shouldn't be too long with this. Let's just keep working those tyres. Bring those rear brake temps down just a little bit.

Just on the small amount of data we've got so far, wind is as per laps to grid.

We've lost some people and vehicles in around turn 5.

So Ocon has pitted again and cycled back to the hard tyre, so he'll be trying to go to the end from here. Situation at the moment, we're currently P14.

We've got Bortoleto to place up the road on a hard tyre, and then Hamilton. Oh, terrible.

Happy to keep them weaving up where possible. So, behind you, Bearman in 15th is on a hard. Pierre behind him is on a hard. And then Hulkenberg on hard. Albon is the first car back on a medium.

Looks like the car is clear. There's still people on track moving the technical barrier.

DRS enabled. Let's introduce the lifting coast, please. Lifting 13 as well.

They're happy with this management.

Let's just try and keep close. We can take advantage of anything. He also has a five-second penalty for a jump start. Let's go get Fernando.

I'm going to start going forwards a little bit at brake plus here. Just start with one click.

Try when you can. Fail B-0.

ALB, 0-1, OK.

With no need for the lift in 13, so we can push through 13 now.

That's glory time to get past Fernando here. Yeah, yeah, I like that bit.

So we do need fail P01 OK when you can.

Happy to go another click forward on the bias here. I appreciate it's very windy out there, buddy. Just keep our head down.

Franco BSC, safety car windows open for us. How's the balance?

Offside, a lot of work out.

And stay to some phase when you can, please.

...to help those rear slip a little bit. We're just seeing high rear surfaces at the moment.

I have no grip on exit, I have no grip on exit.

Franco, we're also thinking this could be going towards plan B here. What do you think?

That's plan bravo, bravo.

That's more likely.

Franco, both F1 you can.

At turn 12, traction we need to watch for.

There's nothing clear on the radar at the moment, so we're thinking dry race here.

Sock 9 will help us recharge here.

This could be plan Delta. Franco, plan Delta.

I thought we were fine.

All right. Box is tapped. Box is tapped.

There'll be hard tyre no-adjust. Hard tyre no-adjust, pink call reminder. White line reminder as well.

Make a bit closer to the Albon pit exit here.

Yeah, come on. You can get going.

Oh, I keep hitting it. I know, mate, that was just a bad move. OK, right, let's focus. We'll have a look at everything on our side.

Everything looks looking okay outside here.

We see maybe a bit of a flat spot.

It's threshold.

Let's just focus on helping these tyres a little bit to go to the end.

Right, so lift at 13 and some lifting coast, please.

Shall we hold off, please?

Yeah, it's already under investigation.

Albon has a 10 second penalty. He's 12 seconds up the road.

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

Let's just manage these tyres here. Albon has that 10 second penalty, so let's just focus on going forwards here now, buddy.

How much? 3,500. 3,500. OK. 3,500. 3,500.

I'll come back to you in two secs.

I see a couple of points lost on the left-hand side of the front wing.

Oh, that's just like Poppen.

It's about half a turn, buddy.

Can I low lift in 13 and sock 6 when you can?

You need to increase pace if you can here.

I've got the grips.

0-12 when you can.

Come on, you're looking good on tyres there. We can drop lift and coast.

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

I don't know, the pace is actually very good to those around us. Matching Fernando's pace ahead who's on a three lap old tyre.

We can consider going back to sock 6 here, mate.

Oh, I changed the scenario. What scenario am I supposed to be in? Scenario 1.

Scenario one, mate. Scenario one, soft six.

My tyres are looking healthy on our side. I have to keep pushing here.

That's 25 laps remaining. 25 remaining.

My face is matching Fernando here. I'm happy with the tyres. We can keep pushing.

Just need to watch traction, turn 5, 6 area please, mate.

Bearman is now the car ahead. He's just pitted onto a new medium here.

Just keep doing what you're doing. We just have to try and capitalise on anything that comes late in this race.

20 laps to go. 20.

We could go back up on entry 4, mate, just to help for the rears a little bit there.

These hard tyres are looking quite good for people that are going long. Some 30 lap holders still going green.

Wind is looking a little bit less gusty, just slightly more headwind into turn one currently. That's 17 laps remaining.

I'm so happy with the tyres here. Just keep pushing along here, please, buddy.

OK, Franco, Pierre is pitting. It will be close.

Stake is available and we are free to race. Keep it clean.

Okay, I'm leaving the box. We are free to race. Please keep it clean.

Pierre is a new medium, 2.4 seconds behind. 15 laps to go.

We have no concerns with tyres to the end.

Right, so we're going to stay in sock six here, but overtake is available.

Happy with status, zero to the end, 12 to go.

Just a reminder, single-press is available.

Single passage available.

Slip-de-car window is also open.

That's 10 to go. I'm going to leave you to it for a bit.

Sorry, SOC 8, hell, SOC 8.

I might just keep it clean here.

Okay mate, five to go. We think Stavronor catch us in four laps time.

Shift to 6th before turn 7. No help.

I'm just going to leave you to it for a bit.

Overtake available.

Soft three. Soft three.

Pierre has a solid blue for Verstappen. He's going to now be the car behind. He is the race leader.

Solid blue Verstappen. Let's be sensible with this one here. Let's try and pick up DRS.

There might be one lap after this one. Press and hold available.

Brakes are off. Stop. Stop. Stop.

Cabin crew, press and hold available after 16.

That just wasn't our day today, mate. That was, er, you did nothing wrong there. Um, unfortunately at, er, move by, Albon was not very good and cost us a lot of time in the race there. Um, I think you drove, drove really well today, buddy. Um, carrying on with that improvement we've seen this, er, long few races. Thank you.

Thank you very much for your efforts. Long press recharge, please. Long press recharge. Let's try to drive offline a little bit as well, please.

Well, back up there for those last few laps. Very difficult with the tyre delta as well.

Check the gap to the back strip.

Yeah, what's the problem?

Good. I lost a little downforce, but we will accept that.

It's a really good race start there today, making up some places, taking the tyre advantage. Yeah, it's just a real shame we lost so much time. Yeah, we could have been, I don't know if it would have been for points today, but it would have been up more around 13, 14 regions there, I think.

Yes, mate, let's just keep on doing what we're doing. We're going to keep slowly chipping away at it here.

Appreciate it's a long in-lap, so let's fix this lap with a normal switch-off procedures, please.
