Radio check. Yeah, all good. Radio check is good. Yeah, loud and clear. So your start-preference was really good and you were one of the best starters, or the best starter, on the lap circuit, so just repeat.

Gear up, last power up, 20, after you can look at the stop.

Okay, good to do. Clutch 4. Six minutes. Remember everything we discussed.

I have to be positive with the lap times. We must be talking to each other on the tyres. Make sure you focus on these brakes initially when racing. When we're trying to race, manage your brakes. Focus on that Lyko 5-7, sector 2. Yeah. Welcome, Bobby.

OK, we'll do a checkpoint there, Alan.

You're all good. So, tyres are Verstappen, Russell, Tsunoda, and then also top ten, Hamilton, Bortoleto, Berman, Nico Hulkenberg, Gasly and Ocon on hard, so fairly 50-50 speed on the grid. Lawson, Antonelli on medium, Russell, Tsunoda on hard behind. And Verstappen on hard. So, top ten, three outstarter, Verstappen, Russell, Tsunoda. No one on short. Copy.

McLaren, some Ferraris.

So, he has blitted Leclerc medium, Hamilton hard, McLaren both drivers on medium.

Rest of this again.

Russell, Harden, Antonelli. Medium.

Hello, Sir Miriam.

Put this on your tools. You discussed going up entry and mid, but you only did the mid. Can you come to me up here? Yeah, we'll do also entry.

Last two minutes.

OK, last 90 seconds. It doesn't matter, you should be gorth, I don't think he's 80, guys.

That's one minute. That's the last part, once fired up, I'll give you the ownership. Yeah, all good. I prefer to focus on the target. Using overtake exit turn 2, wheeling and backspin. 30 seconds. 20 seconds. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. And as you gap and overtake, stop braking and wheeling. You go pump, go pump. Pump was just a touch. Deep, a touch deep.

Keep working your tyres. All stops.

Keep working your tyres. Keep working your tyres. Just some initial feedback. This section of tyre starts us in forcing our plan A. Cooling into 16. Breathing as you do pre-cooling, pre-cooling and pre-cooling. Pre-set exit 16. Pre-cooling, working the tyres. Pre-cooling, working the tyres. I change the pace. Every range of speed, working hard. With B you can pick up speed if you can. Ahead, F is 1.6. Your speed is good. Working the tyres. I will be 3.0, 3.0. Remember you are left-hand side on the grid. Left-hand side. We are good for you Tom.

Thanks for watching.

Fuck, I'm still 12th. I have to stop and grip.

Eight more cars.

Explore cars.

Four more cars.

Two more cars.

I was on the grid.

A little sloppy on the start there.

First three, he's gone last. Oscar Perriu, Luzo.

First lap 27.

First stage in the wall at turn 5. Lawson 0.7. Verstappen 1.4.

Safety car. Go and see. Work your tyres. Stay out. Stay positive. No overtaking. Work your tyres. Back on debris, but there's the one outside of turn 5. Stay on the inside.

OK, so just a bit of an update. Liam Lawson, Antonelli, Russell, Tsunoda, Hadjar, Norris, Leclerc.

It was just outside the racing line. I blocked the wheel braking too late. I went to war. I didn't expect to bring out the racing line.

Fuck, Alex is pinching under the test chicane.

I like that bit of set-up. Medium.

No colour as well. It wasn't hard, I think. It picked up. Everyone else did, on track.

Alex was on the bad spot, turn 3.

VIP with mode 6 and at the restart we'll have early overtake available.

I prefer mode 7. You prefer to be at the top later at the end of the lap.

I just need to remember to use overtake, not restart. I'll remind you. Absolutely, P1. Right. Thank you.

It should still be a recovery vehicle on track at 26.

Fernando Alonso, Lando Norris, Nico Hulkenberg, Gabriel Bortoleto, Esteban Alonso, Lando

Stay left, 2.5. Stay left, 2.5. Follow 70 car recovery vehicle.

Okay, 110.9. That's good. What are you doing?

For safety car in this lap, for safety car in this lap, then stay go back, keep working your brakes, press HPP, please. Press HPP.

Start, set your gap, close to 81. Go, race, please. You've got 81. You're in.

Lawson on 9, Maxwell on 5. 46 to go.

DRS enabled. Lawson on 8.

Motion one-on-one has worked improving exit at 16.

Next radio. Next radio. I'll figure it out.

Offset to straight, trying to take Lawson out of my DRS. Copy, Lawson 1.2, lost DRS, 44.2.

Guys, try to go straight to the front.

43.0. Lawson, 1.8.

Looks like Lawson is not under threat of a penalty.

Max is slowly pulling away, but you are pulling away half a second off Lawson. You're doing good.

OK, Lawson 1.7. There's no way out with tyre status.

I went down to status 4 now. Tyres start to feel like a little bit of like chickening, similar to Friday.

Okay, so focus on stage 4. Managing your tyres, Lawson. 1.9. Overtaking looks difficult.

We try to see some slight different lines and we can back.

Brakes under control, at the rear, so we are able to go forward, brake balance, I'll take it.

Closing lap 11. 40.2. Close on 2.2. Really good job.

Last lap is better for that turn. We believe it's more towards the left, the straight line. Better job last lap.

You've got a lot of trucking when you shut up.

A little bit too much, do you think we can start pushing a bit?

Copy Parma matrix at the moment. Balance is moving very gradually. Reward slower than Friday.

Purple putter on purple putter.

The only focus on driving is between exit speed and 12. I'm pushing the entry too much.

Ok, Carlos. Dress HPT.

Closing lap 16, 35 to go. Currently looking at 8 plus 4.

Thrust set. 3.5.

Give me the lap times, rather than the gap. Lawson 46.3, Verstappen 45.6.

Balkan Air King traffic, Tsunoda, 3A on R46.1, Hamid Khan on R3A46.5.

OK, closing up 17.34 to go. When you complete the status, I'll be looking for 8 or 10 laps. Status 3, can you take that? I turn up to status 3 now. It's status 3. Let's see. Let's try an extra. Satisfied.

Make sure you do the Lyco. I see only level one. I think level two, please.

Watch out, debris in 5-6, in contact. Watch out, debris in 5-6.

OK, second one really good. Two tenths quicker than Verstappen, five tenths quicker than Lawson. Proper level up. Been good there.

Thirty-three to go. At that, stay through so many laps, you think.

I think the target lap that you gave me, so it's plan A now. Bye.

I'm happy. Don't be distracted. You're at half.

Let me know if you want me to increase pace now.

But the faster we are now, the later we can cover, no? Yes, correct, but we want these laps.

Currently, Alonso is just outside of your pit window and Antonelli will catch him. He's four or five seconds behind him.

Ok, I was better last lap. Wow, that looks difficult on the hard. Big break.

Carlos Verstappen last lap 45.4, Lawson 46.3.

Go ahead, rearward brake balance because the drops are starting to drop. Copy, rearward brake balance. I feel a little bit of braking. A little bit. Copy, a bit of braking. Still doing good, closing lap.

Fresh off Russell, Tsunoda on hard 46.0, Norris 46.0.

Status 2. If so, we need them now. Yes, I do. We need them now. I do. Relapse, please. OK. Relapse. Status 2.

The longer we can extend, the better. Maybe go back to status 3. Don't burn the tyre.

I liked it. Copy.

Yeah, I'm having a problem with that. I just need a bit to tell me where it might be so I don't hit that gap.

Cliovit, Cliovit, I'm sick of this.

Use the two pulls. Put on brakes, watch the light. We'll be targeting 45.0. We can actually start the stages before we take it.

Aperture turn one. You're clear in three seconds, 2.5. Watch out your brake point.

Hadjar, 2.5. Have a good time. Watch out for the braking for the first lap. Hadjar, 1.4.

OK, the hard are very stable on Alex. I've got 1.8 already. I just want to be steady to try to surprise him. Lap time target, lap time target.

You need Lyko, please say it.

If you want to go, Russell is good on his tyres. He's 45.0 and extending, 45.0. We just need to be around a tenth quicker than him.

OK, wind is calmer. Don't put 10 kph, tailwind 416.

Closing lap 31. 20 to go.

Russell 45.0. How much pace do you have? I have 3.5 laps to go.

Just need to be matching up quicker than Russell, OK? 44.9 target right now.

Any advice from Alex on this tyre?

Stop Lyko. Intercept the one, turn two, face three, brake, release.

Minus 0.5. Thrust 345.1.

No concern on the rears and on the rear, so you can push on them. Antonelli, Verstappen behind you on 9 laps on the hard. Gap 3.2. Russell just did 44.9. Well done, Antonelli.

Do you believe we can be steady strong to the end of the race? That's 18 laps.

Copy. I just got called a real thief.

The last corner feels bad now. Copy, I'll be back. I mean, it won't be a second ahead. So when we get closer, I'll take it to 16 at the early exit.

Hold on. We'll talk. We'll talk. See you out front.

Russell, just a tenth quicker than you on this lap.

Not that I need a lot of time in the straight.

5.60 to go. Antonelli was 44.9, so you're within a tenth of both Antonelli and Russell. Your race is what we do with Arlington now, as we catch him.

If I get lap time 44.503, yeah, 44.502.

Mode 5, mode 5. Russell pushing really hard right now. Eventually, we'll pit.

OK, so just keep going. Just do 44.7. 44.7.

1-5 now, please. Instruction 1-5.

I don't agree. I need battery for what he did. Yeah, it's just we tried to put Russell in the window. My son is in the window. That's OK. You're doing great, Russell. Staying out.

If you want to go back to mode 6, you can.

Last lap, 44.8.

Fuck, we are energy rich. So even about 5 is not low.

Closing lap 39. 12 to go. You'll be in front of him.

Close with Russell. Energy is available. Early of attack available.

OK, Carlos, that's a soft pitfall. Verstappen is pitting now. So currently you're P3. Russell on fresh rubber with car pace. It would be difficult to keep it. We have nine laps advantage on Antonelli. Currently 1.6 behind. I think that's your race, hopefully. 11 to go. Copy. Leave it to me, please.

He might drop. Reported turn 60. Might drop, but don't make a signal, OK?

Closing lap 42.9 to go. Antonelli 1.5.

8 to go. Antonelli 1.7.

Closing lap 44.7. Go. Antonelli 1.8.

Just on time, 23.37. Great, great. 6 to go.

Just give me the lap time, Antonelli. Closing lap 46.

Antonelli, last lap, 44.2. Start to go. Antonelli, 1.6.

Closing lap 47.4 to go. Open early 1.8. Previous lap 44.3.

Antonelli 1.9, Antonelli previous lap 44.1.

Wind increasing at 4.16.

Good group. Antonelli 1.8. Spermula is supporting 4.2.

I'm losing lap. See?

You're opening your last lap. Gap behind 1.7. Antonelli was at 44.2.

Antonelli will use overtake exit of 2 and 16 this lap with a cyberpush and hold exit at this corner.

1.9, I don't need me to be stacked with 1.9, I have 2.1.

2.2. Push on all decks in last corner.

As taking the flag, you're clear of Antonelli. Amazing job, all the way through the weekend. Get your head down. Brilliant qualifying yesterday. Brilliant race today, as P3 made.

Good, that's it. Enjoy, mate, enjoy. Bring it on, boys, bring it on, boys. Vamos! Vamos!

Best volume in my career, guys. You cannot imagine how this tastes. Thank you so much. Carlos, I've had the pleasure of having many podiums, I assure you. This was not fair for me. Well done. Vamos! Absolutely incredible. Come on, let's go. Come on! This is the beginning of something nice, guys. I'm great. Thank you so much. Ah! I knew this was coming. I told you a few races ago. I knew it! I knew it! You just need to believe. Thank you!

Go at that, please. Go at that.

This is my first smooth operation in Williams.

I'm not the last, I'm not the last.
