Set, go for it.

Completely dry. I probably would want to go up on flap if we were to go up.

Actually coming through the pitlane to pit exit.

Green default 1-0. Green default. OK.

Green is good. Coming into the pitlane, turn onto pit exit.

Green 10, position 6. Last cars at 10-19.

Go and race at the end of the pitlane.

That's DRS enabled.

Stay off the overtake now because there's a chance he's in the ante, I can see.

Let's reduce the peak pressure at 16 for now. There's more people on tap than expected. Our brake taps are creeping up.

Alex, plan has not changed. Still on plan A. It's all about patience.

Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Brake. Bra

Just stay to seven or whatever you want to say. OK.

How many clicks have you got? You can't count that, can you? Yes, 20. 25.

Back is full. No need to run two at the moment.

So the pace at the front is a high 36, low 37, but Alonso P8 is in the 38s.

Let's just watch the lake.

Brakes are okay. Let's stop the light. Let's try and keep the front temps.

This pace is mainly focusing on maintaining front temp, lower than the right.

So the top seven have pulled away. Alonso P8 is 15 seconds ahead. So P8 to you is 15 seconds.

Our main limitation we can help with, or it's just everything place managed.

Bit of understeer. Fuck, okay. Feels understable.

Have another go at pushing on the front strut, get the temps up, turn 5 when you land on it was good.

It's the following having less overbursts than we thought.

Battery is full. Two earlies available.

That's painful.

Yeah, I'm pretty shit, so I'm afraid.

Yeah, but it's so easy to open up when you get close.

Brakes feel very poor as well. Like no use at all.

It's going to get worse when you get close. It's the same the whole time.

I'll find out now. I'll just back off.

Bortoleto and Tsunoda have pitted.

Currently there's no advantages for advancing.

Torque 12 for increased rotation if needed.

Much flat with you, Ed, for Iso tyre. More than a turn and a half. Oops.

Radio was poor, last cop.

I have heard plus two ISO type.

So far, Franco, Tsunoda and Bortoleto. The only cars to have pitted. First one is Franco, nine seconds back on a medium.

Suggest mid-five for improved rotation. If 8-13 become unstable, then use push-throttle.

We had another high pip strike at 16. Stay more to the left, that'd be good.

Feedback on tyres and balance when you can.

On the left.

Go rearwards to half a percent brake bias.

Happy to drop the Lyco if you need.

Rear surfaces and temps are under control. Maybe a little bit of margin to use the rear more to help the front if you need.

Hadjar pitted from P9 on a hard tyre. Now he's one second of the tyre. We are racing him. He's five seconds back.

For the last corner, suggest the pull toggle. Last corner.

Two early's available.

Okay, let's push on now. It's a Bearman overcut, Tsunoda. He's two seconds back.

HPP off. That really hurt my tyres. HPP off.

Carlos 6.2 ahead.

Brake is higher than expected on a hard tyre.

Alonso pitted. He has one and a half seconds of tyres. 8 back is behind Hadjar. Hadjar has an engine issue.

Trying to give you the same tyre advantage later on in the race. Alex is 34 to go.

Yeah, okay. Sorry about that.

So, Alex from outside, we don't need lighting.

Alex, I'm having a hard time thinking. Plus three for a soft plus two.

So we're pulling away from Hadjar. Two to three tenths a lap. Alonso not making any progress on Hadjar. He's still three seconds behind Hadjar.

Let's tell Carlos to use overtake out of turn 40, 30.

OK, 31 laps to go. We're on plan B now, plan B.

Luke, overrotate with a low speed.

May be use a push throttle or increase entry.

Adjust the push rate to 13.

80. That's better than the previous laps. Watch turn 11 entries. Don't overpush this one.

Stroll P9 ahead on the soft tyres. 33 laps he's done on the soft.

The drag is lower than expected on the soft. Very similar balance to the medium.

Purple button on. Suggest to push toggle for turn 14. It's pushed toggle for turn 14.

Hadjar now, about three tenths of a lap quicker with the tyre advantage.

Hadjar and Alonso in the battle now. Alonso is now through. Six seconds back. Q7 to push on now. Alonso is six back.

The snaps are coming from the diffs. Suggest increasing the entry and then use the pull toggle.

Stroll's starting to back people up. There's 24 laps to go, he's 37 on that set.

That was probably quite a lot.

There's currently blue flags in the pit window for now, we're trying to clear some.

I'm trying to clear some blue flags so you'd be between George and Verstappen.

I try to avoid a blue flag for Verstappen and Norris.

You're on lap 41. You should be able to get to plan A, stop lap and clear the blues.

I'll be careful, I'll lose more time serving the blues if I were defending for Veloce.

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

Overtake is available. Priority on the exits and then amp T smooth. You can use the overtakes.

All right, yeah, front's still going. Nicely fit slot.

Trust me, it's still more efficient in a minute. It's OK. No, no, it's massive.

Okay, reset, row 32. Reset, row 32. Box, box.

Aces just back to entry. Soft tyre plus two turns with 20 laps to go.

Watch the white line on the exit.

Yellow ahead, Seb. Yellow ahead.

Okay, so Stroll is three seconds ahead of Piastri. I need to be cute with the blue flags to try and stand a chance here.

Go rearwards half a percent and mid-six, so just mid-six.

Lawson pit exit.

Alex, I need to build a 1.5 second gap, please. I need to drop back 1.5 seconds, please.

I just need to help the team. I dropped back 1.55.

I need one minute forty dead for two laps, please.

OK, but we're there.

Max bleed where we can, sector 2 please.

I can't go any slower, please.

They know what they're doing.

OK, Lawson's dropped back. Lawson's dropped back too. Let's drop back now. You've got two seconds back to Lawson. You're going to see Carlos Piazza. I could easily overtake all these cars in front, but it's OK. It's wet. Yeah, I understand.

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

OK, you'll see at the exit.

Thank you, Alex. Glad to help you out.

Parking pack is full. Two airlings available.

Nice work. Next 1.8 ahead of Ocon.

Okay, Stroll two and a half ahead. He's already weak at 14.

So it's nine laps to go. You've got four tenths of a tyre on Stroll. We have two strikes for input.

HPP on when you can.

One early available.

He needs to give the pace back.

Yeah, I've put my round 2's and I'll be okay. Six laps to go, P15.

Get on it quickly, please. 1-0.

They're about to start letting me back into position.

Yeah, they're looking at it.

That's what Stroll should have done. Should have been here.

Out of turn 14, I'll give you a blue driver default. A blue default.

Blue, default, 1-0, OK. Blue, default, 1-0, OK.

All good, thank you. 1.4 seconds to Stroll, three laps to go.

Reset the blue switch to 12 o'clock when you can.

OK, hints that there is no further action. Let's go mode 5, mode 5.

Starting the last lap. 2 overtakes available.

OK, check the flag. P14, P14.

It's difficult to make progress today, but some nice overtakes.

Now I drive like shit. Okay, thank you.

Let's get those switches beneath HPP off.

I should not go racist mode 14.

And then the blue one, position 12. Blue one, position 12.

Thank you, Alex. Really much paying the team going there. I'm sorry we didn't get points for you today. Carlos just picked up one, but well done. We had pace. Again, apologies for what happened, but we come back together in Austin looking forward to these next few races.

Yeah, the test totem is not the one. B sub. Well, it's still better to get rid of it now, I understand it.

I'm out in the pitlane now. I want more. It's green. Default 1-0. OK. It's green. Default 1-0. OK.
