Yeah, radio check.

And that's 1 minute 45.

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

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

Initial thoughts on flat max? Yeah, that's OK. Understood.

Gap 1.2. Does not have DRS. Use gear 8. Use gear 8 to turn 7.

Oh no, it's a push signal! OK, stand by.

Gap behind 1.5.

Just keep on top of the degradation, please, Max.

Gap behind 1.8.

I need better dancing.

Understeer max. Still reviewing. Doesn't look like there's much at this stage. Mate lost to Russell, turn one.

So, at this stage, Max, it's just tyre preservation for us.

Push-toggle turn 8, turn 13 if the rear is an issue. Push-toggle turn 8, turn 13.

Also, losses to Russell, 11-12-13.

Display 13, position 2 as a downshift test. Display 13, position 2.

You are strong at 16.17.

Any change there with the downshift, Max? Otherwise it's gone. No, it's really shit. OK, understood.

So banked out as one.

I'm also happy if you just manage it, Deg, as well. Otherwise, main deltas. Turn one.

Anna, all the ships are fucked up and down.

OK. Stand by.

OK, Max. Box and pit confirm. Box, pit confirm. Strat 12 in pitlane. Focus on your marks.

Rat 10. Rat 10. Should be clear of Fernando. Outlap critical. Let's get up with it. Racing Alonso.

Hey, got a monster behind?

Tyre 8. Tyre 8. Okay, that threat has gone. Lando has not really picked up his pace, thanks.

His pace was a 37.0.

Engine 11, position 7. Engine 3.1, position 7.

OK, so Russell 37.1, Lando now 36.6, Oscar 36.8.

OK, so Leclerc is in pitlane, so just ahead of you, Hamilton and Antonelli.

Everything is working against me this race.

So, Hamilton pace ahead 38.2.

OK, so both Mercedes have pitted. Russell now pit exit. He's at apex turn 1.

That is Russell ahead.

Lando now in pitlane.

And Oscar also now in pitlane.

Long set for all here, folks.

Last lap pace ahead and behind 35.7.

Slaps are very strong lap times.

Russell 36-0.

And Strat 9. Strat 9 for now.

35.9 for Russell, Max. Gap 3.5.

Stay paced behind.

Across the line it was 2.9. Lap time for Russell 36.1.

33 laps complete, Max.

I need help for this hairpin, 13. Too much left grip on engine.

Lack of rear end entry. It's not stability. Okay, understood. Stand by.

OK, let's try the push-throttle first, Max, if that's insufficient. We'll look at break, guys.

No, that doesn't work. Re-try it yourself.

OK, let's have a look at B-Bal 6-7.

B-Bal 6 from here.

Okay, this lap we'll have a look at torque at 9, Max.

Top four cars, same pace. So just a reminder, exit turn 9. Let's have a look at torque at 9. Oh, you're in torque 9 now. Probably is.

For fuck's sake, man, it's a shit run!

Max, we've had track limit strikes at turn two, the last two laps.

I had a very sick handbrake. Please help.

OK, let's have B-Bal 6, please, and torque 9. B-Bal 6, torque 9. Then you can go mid 5 to help.

Max, if you don't feel you need mid four, then happy to go a bit more conservative on that.

The balance is really off. It's ungrateful. I understand. You are on an older tyre. Same pace as Russell ahead. Lando's obviously made a mistake as well, behind 37.0.

NIF is a little bit open for our liking at 13.

You're better off getting yourself a more stable car than something that's unpredictable on the rear.

I lose all the grip now. It doesn't look safe to lose.

This lap is still three tenths quicker than Lando and we stroll ahead.

Russell ahead, say pace.

Yellow flags ahead. Yellows.

Strat 10. Strat 10. B-Bal follows.

Track is clear ahead.

I'm circling a lot now. Yeah, understood.

I have no mechanical grip. Understood.

It's a huge effective tailwind here, Max.

Yeah, but I'm at a P4. This is fucked. Okay, understood, Max. We are monitoring. At this stage, there's not many options.

Lando on DRS behind.

Lando, point four.

Lando, one second with DRS.

The gap is 0.8.

Ah, the gap, 0.8.

I didn't get away. No. We are discussing it, Max.

Hey, that car ahead is Hadjar.

That's 1.1.

And the gap 1.05.

That is 0.7.

That's five laps remaining.

That's 0.6.

OK, mode 5. Mode 5. Two laps remaining.

That gap is 0.7.

You can press and hold the overtake two seconds if need to. Gap 0.8.

Cap. Resonant hold. Overtake if you need to here.

OK. Well, well managed. Nice. Really good set. Nice one.

Yeah, well, that was not easy, mate. Yeah, I'll deal with it after the race, but that was not, yeah, that's not good at all. But, yeah, I think I don't mind. It's just a bit weird with the, with the engine, with the downshifts and upshifts the whole race. It's making it very difficult to be consistent.

I think I'm going to pit with the soft at the heart of the kit second.

Yep, good job, mate. Pretty much everybody raced where they were from turn three on lap one, so that's what it is around here. Nice job. Plenty of pick-up, please.

I have a challenge with staying out, because when I was in that traffic, everything felt really awful. But then when I was in clean air, it started to recover a little bit.

Well done, Max. It was super hard out there and you got everything out that was possible today, so well done. We've made a step forward and we know we have more coming.

Yeah, again, a solid weekend, once again, so let's keep going. Thank you, everyone.
