Parc fermé, that's 16.5 up, runway 22. Cleared for drop.

OK, radio check. You should be able to hear me. You're going to be able to do clutch up. We go for normal dry start, OK? Please, it's dry. It's going to be one of the longest races in the rear. We're strong physically. Car pace is quick. Let's manage when we need to. Tyres and brakes, let's push when we can. OK? It's going to be a long race. Clear comes between you and I. Have a good one, buddy. OK, thank you. Remember to put the vest on. When you're being told, there will be a default green 10, OK?

OK, nobody can put their face down if you want. 50-fold, bring 10-0, OK?

Yeah, we'll do that as late as possible. Okay, copy. Or it doesn't change.

We're happy to wait.

When you check for danger, Jarlan? Yeah, I'm good. That could be good. So start tyres around you. Ahead Ocon, medium. Colapinto, Stroll on soft. Bortoleto, medium. Tsunoda, soft. There's six soft starters. Everybody has soft, medium. So ahead of you, soft. Colapinto, Stroll. Tsunoda, Alonso.

So basically we need to think of the mediums as the hard starters.

I trust your GFE is plus two plus one versus dry setting. Last two minutes.

Could have been 90 second. Reference aerobalance is matching P1 consecutive running.

Forty-five.

Okay, just did the test.

Vestige good. That's 30 seconds. Vestige good.

Remember, perimeter on.

That's good. That's 15.

Three, two, one.

That's working tyres. That was shadow plus. That was deep minus two, deep minus two. Working tyres.

Gap at 2.3. Keep a look at the tyres.

Make sure you check the track, know where, the area you need to avoid on lap one.

Go front, please.

Look at the tyres of the track.

Don't make good use of the two straight lines, Jacobin. Only wet in some exits, on the outside of the corners, Jacobin.

OK, so what was this section then on lap one? Gap at 2.0. We should try to push it to 14.0. It's been good use of the last two straight lines.

Can we do it again, please?

It's fully dry. Think about your Jeep settings. Try braking turn 60.

Okay, we've got P10, there'll be a three-point arch, remember you're left-hand side, P18, left-hand side.

Oscar Peter Gasly. Good job.

DRS enabled.

And remember to go right when you can, so that I don't have to struggle to go faster.

That's P5. That's P6.

Fernando Alonso.

Turn right, point 9, Gasly, point 7.

Ocon ahead of Tsunoda with a DRS. 69 to go.

Focus on collecting the left brake, please. Focus on collecting the left brake.

I just turn 5, reduce speed to 20 car lengths, please. Reduce speed, speed.

Let's just watch. Locked at 7 and 8.

That's 2.9 into 7 for pit contact. 57 to go.

The reason for that is I'm going out of the straight for the brakes, so I'm doing everything I can for brakes. Yeah, copy. Let's keep doing that lap. Let's keep doing that lap.

I want you to put pressure as well, big pressure. Lap time ahead. Soft collapse to 38.9. Bortoleto, medium 39.4.

OK, light curve F3 critical. Brake front left, light curve F3, please.

Ahead Ocon with brake issue as well. It's fine, she'll brake.

You'll pick me up for the break. See you in a few turns.

Keep doing what you're doing. OK, stop.

Like all of it. Like all of it. About edge of 38.4. I'd like to go ahead. Soft. 38.8.

OK, it's a 4.0 to go. Brakes are in a better window. Ocon at 38.8.

I have no grip at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90.

This lap was level 6. I need to go level 10.

It's a matter of pace and tech. People not managing to pace their expectations and low tech.

I feel like people are pushing more than I expected. We beat it through. I said that.

Air. Volume of the race.

You have to drop that like all the way to level 4.

We do not need Lyco for brakes. We do not need Lyco for brakes. What about the radio?

A little bit.

Lewis Lapierre, field. Oscar Klugerberg, 38.8.

If you want to go, Lyco is not needed, neither tyres or brakes.

OK. Copy that.

The situation, Ocon is at 38.9, 1.3 bar, Bortoleto is giving you a pace of 38.8. Ocon is a bit quicker into low 38.

I feel like we've gone too low on the volume now.

A puppy here to put its tyres. Puppy.

What do we expect the first pit stop?

First car off soon. Forty-nine to go. Today what you're doing, managing tyres, being patient.

Bortoleto. Medium starter. Just pity.

Ocon gap 3. Let's try to pick up the pace. Close the gap for Ocon.

Watch out, front locked of A10-11.

S-H-P. S-H-P. Colapinto has a seat. Hold the car tight. He's definitely too hard. He's a bit too major.

Always this pace.

So you're quicker than all the cars ahead of you, apart from P8 Alonso, top 38, 27.8.

I-37, 38-0. I'm good.

When you can, exit turn 5 and come back on status and tyres, please.

Status 3. Three and a half to two. Oversteer is still higher than expected.

And that's big pressure for break time for me.

Yeah, I'm limited on the pace of the car.

Let's use this lap to manage the front flag.

Yeah, I said I'd say get through to him.

So Ocon just did 38.7, 38.7.

What is the pace of Tsunoda-Colapinto? Tsunoda-Colapinto, 5600, 5600, 9000.

We do not want brake balance reward for rear tyres, so just manage the front left brake, please.

Alonso, 38.38.1. Bearman, medium 38.3.

Yeah, I got two 30's on us.

OK, copy. We're still on plan A, so the priority is your tyres. On plan A, everybody.

Do you think I can get closer to Ocon or not?

I'll pit this straight through the gap and then use your tyres and brakes.

Back to front runners. Alonso has good pace, managing tyres fairly well. Hadjar is tagging.

Breakthrough. First of the lead-up pitlane. Verstappen for hard. 43 to go.

Always the hard runners doing it. Tsunoda. Tsunoda, 37.1.

We can see that Alonso is a hardy model. Last lap on soft. 37.8. Still competitive.

But Hadjar taking 38.9 knots off as well.

This I like so hard, don't I?

Negative. Alex, medium.

Hadjar has pitted for hard. He's going to be fighting with Colapinto. He's behind Gasly-Alex.

OK, 4-2-1, to go. We have a lap time of 47.2.

On the previous lap. Soft 37.7 is soft. Holding. You still have to plan a question.

Yeah, happy.

Fuck, I think we've stopped.

Fancy Choco. Fancy you.

Hadjar arm, first lap, 38.4.

Sorry, stay in 4. White button.

We have a good start to the sport.

OK, closing lap 23.39 to go.

Pierre Bearman has pitted. Pitching.

Are they pity because of tyres or track position? For braking, track position.

1.38 to go to Gasly as pit heat. The head, Alonso, soft. You can bear medium, 37.9.

When you can, press HP.

There's some people Ocon without DRS. Stroll ahead Ocon 1-2-5.

Hadjar on R37.9. Alex not defending on Bearman.

There's a gap behind you, no Bearman. Gap 6.

OK, continue what you're doing. 35, 5 seconds behind.

Berman, last lap 36.7. We can use that terrain ahead of us to help us. We're racing, Berman.

Let's focus on exit, don't push too hard on chute on 4. Focus exit on 5. Better last lap.

Closing lap 28. Tyre offset to Bearman is 1.25.

Come on. 2.2.

We're looking good at DRS. We're doing that. Ready to go.

About a late front lock. 14 and 16. I'm on 2-0.

Gap at 1.8, down at 1.2. Let's push to catch Stroll.

Airman 1.1.

Orange button on.

Carburetor on 7, energy is available.

We have a 0.6, 0.6. We expect 0.5, 0.4 is dangerous.

I think Bearman is strong turn 9 and exit turn 13-14.

Airman on 7, throttle only 1-0-8.

I'm at P5.

Really good job, Nico. Really good job.

Doing really good. I'm on front 9. Strolling, capping, Colapinto, persisting.

29 to go, Bearman, P6.

Bearman from 8, from 8.

Bearman on 9.

We'll start the pack on 3.30. Take some margin. Focus exit. Bearman on line.

Twenty-eight to go, twenty-eight, Carlos.

Can you back us up? Click party, click party, please.

Stroll 1-0, turbine 0.7, outside no DRS on Stroll.

Flap 1.7.

7.6, 12.9.

Twenty-seven to go.

Standby for 6.6.

Bearman point six, Stroll point eight.

Bearman, P8.

Bearman point seven on his information. Alex is catching Bearman. We should put pressure on him.

No power overtake available right now. Climb and control.

Right, so I'm focused on 16, 17, we lose 2-3. That's right, Liam. That's right, Liam.

OK, 24 to go. We want to do what's lap time efficient for Bearman. He's 0.6 behind. Do you have energy?

Bearman on 7.

Yeah, that's a fair part of me.

1-0-8. First aid when you can.

Am I in P5?

I'm at turn six. Would you like to go straight to S2, please? I am, I am.

Bearman found six. Biggest threat on Bearman is into seven, turning four tenths.

1.7. Happy with the flap question? Yeah.

Gamma 0.7.

I'm on 9, doing really good. That's 21 to go.

I've got my pulse set up.

Come on, turn 8. Let's go, Pierre-Bernard, I have it on my will.

Only one key is closer than the other one.

I'm locked up. Copy, Bearman, P5. Watch out front block.

Give that a bit more, let you know. Very quick.

Bearman, one behind, one behind you. Catching Lawson, you're gonna get... The longer we get, the better. A lot of cars are getting blue flags right now.

I'm at 1.2 and he's going to be under threat of Alonso. Keep catching him, he's amazing, mate. Clean laps.

Just one drop. Remember, that's purple button on, purple button off. Bearman 1.6.

Watch out, front locked at 13. You have the left bottom available. Alonso, Verstappen, 2.4.

Press HP. Press HP. 70 to go.

Always stay within one. 17 seconds.

Pots 5. Pots 5.

Rushing Alonso point 3. Going really good.

Opposite the Lawson and we keep going.

OK, we keep going. We're doing great. Bearman 1-0. Ruport-Biana still losing time with blue flags.

Come on, point four, point four. Get the other side of the road.

Box mode 1.3. Permal 1.5. 50 to go.

Box opposite Lawson. Box opposite Lawson.

Yeah, man. Form 8. Form 8.

Keep going, what you're doing, keep doing what you're doing, okay? Good job.

Box now, box now, box, box. Watch out, white light in the middle.

We can try to stop with the actual tools.

Put on brakes, watch the light. Happy to push on this tyre to the end. You're going to be close to Alex on pit exit. Be ahead of Lawson. More brakes, watch the light.

Bracing Alex, pit exit. Bracing Alex, pit exit.

Okay, P15. Flutter to the end. You have a big tyre to protect you from all these cars.

Strollers, the fresher, medium, 12 laps.

I'm ready to push back for you. Pileau mode 5 level. SRA, Bortoleto, 2 seconds, 37 laps out.

Bortoleto does not have DRS.

The next car, Colapinto, 1.4, medium, 37 laps old. Doing really good. Time target has to be 35.

Any chance of points? Yes. 10-0.

I'm going to have to go as well without DRS.

OK, now we have a full lap on our own. We need laps in 35. Our target is Hadjar. He's 14 seconds ahead.

He's going to set blue flags so quickly. That's 9 seconds.

A little obstacle, a little obstacle.

Your P12, you're going to catch Tsunoda in two laps, half a second ahead.

Third and last lap, 40.0.

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

Tsunoda, last lap, 37.5, 37.5.

You should be overtaking red track in the 30 next lap. Slow down. Do what you're doing.

Watch out for braking points 7 and 8, they don't work.

You know that 1.4? 1.4.

Yuki Tsunoda next lap. Otherwise he might get DRS from Hadjar.

OK, we have five laps. Hadjar 2.8.

Hadjar lap back. Hadjar last lap 39.2. It should be easier to get to 2.5. You'll have four laps. You can have him. That's P10.

Direction? Hadjar, 37.0.

Hadjar on ARD, 37 laps.

At the end of this lap, we have three laps. Hadjar is called P10 after Bearman P9 is too far.

Roger, let me buy it. Copy, copy. Free to go. Bring it up, we'll do everything, some marinas, pit and make.

OK, there's two laps to go. You're P10. Bearman 50 ahead, Norfolk coming from behind.

Turning into final lap mode 5.

And this is to take the flag. Take the flag once you've taken the flag offline. Pick up rubber as P10. P10. The way we say it in French, chapeau, monsieur Carlos Sainz. Hell of a race. Hell of a time management. That feel really good. It's not a podium, but that's an amazing race, mate. Good job. Yeah, thank you, guys. Really good job. Really good job. Very happy with this. We're starting to operate smoothly now. We're starting to come together. Happy before yesterday. We deserve more this weekend. It was a bad quali, but we will make it stronger as a team.

Well done, Carlos. Really impressive to get a point from there. We would have been quick if we were in position. That's on us. Again, an apology, but let's move forward together. Looking forward to the next few races.

Can-Am, go in. Go in. Blue 1 position 12. Blue 1 position 12. Picking up rubber all the way in.

Correction, that's correct, yes. Correct.

That's driver default. That's default green 10. OK. Default green 10.

If you're interested, put your Brussels, Verstappen, Norris, Piastri, Pistreau, Antonelli, Leclerc, Hamilton in the last car for points, Alonso, Bearman and yourself.

That was great teamwork today. Alex, if you would be able to, with Lawson as well. Good teamwork. Thank you.

When you park, please switch off fully the car back to P0 and go where you start first lane.
