And the last car is on the grid.

Cars behind are Alonso, Lawson and Gasly. All are medium.

Check in for duet understeer, not oversteer. Understood.

Can we suggest mid position 5? Mid 5.

That was Antonelli in the gravel, turn 15, he is going now.

And Sainz has stopped now on pit entry.

And virtual safety car, virtual safety car.

So there is some gravel on track at turn 15 and Sainz is still stopped on pit entry.

So balanced, definitely. Missing a few clicks, I would say. Some exits are neutral, but all in all, probably 2-3 clicks out.

Where are you struggling the most, Nico?

19 in the last corner is a little bit of an understeer mid-corner. 16, 17, 18 as well. 1.

Yeah, quite a lot of front-locking or easy front-locking. Yeah, this is what I was seeing most in turn 19 and 20 at least.

And for info, Nico, everybody that started on hard struggled in the opening laps.

No surprise. I think later on it might be a bit different. Yeah, copy that. Let's see.

Braking is ending. I can go charge off and RS is available.

How can they understeer? Bearman must have been illegal. He's way in front now.

You gained about one and a half seconds.

Yeah, understood. We are checking the gaps before and after. We should be able to see it.

We needed slightly more management in turn 17. Last lap was too much.

At the last stop I was just pushing.

It was stable. Actually picked up a lot of rubber and FBSC.

Still kind of a lot of pick-up.

But the energy is very useful for getting understeer, but I don't get it.

So we need like, I don't know, more than half a percent though to stop obviously. 0.7, 0.8.

B-Bal offset.

Uh-huh, this is quick.

Yeah, copy Nico. We think he's been pushing more through the S's this whole time.

Consider special 2, turn 15. Special 2.

And Gabi stopped for medium.

Try easier entry to turn 19. Slower entry. Focus on mid and exit.

Pace is very good. You're faster than Alonso. Close to the guys in front.

How is it looking with pit windows?

So, at the moment, we would come out behind everybody except for Gabi. We'd be close behind the two trail cars.

And there is a bit of a train forming back there. The lead car is Colapinto, lapping 41.6.

Pace is still very good, Nico. Just try to manage your rears on exit where you can.

Consider mode defend.

The truck is not backing off a bit.

Entry minus one when you can. Entry minus one. Be careful here. You only soak at the braking. Dirty.

And Leclerc is boxing in front. He will come out behind us.

So now we would clear Hadjar, Albon and Ocon. We'd come behind to Antonelli and Colapinto.

We don't think the other leaders will respond. They are still lapping green.

But we're P8 and you're quick. Are you still gapping, Fernando?

And Stroll has fairly low deg. His last laps are 41.4, 41.5.

Which way is faster, no?

Tsunoda just boxed.

Let's use this free air now. Piastri is coming out of the pitlane now. Let's push this lap.

Full push here, Nico. It's, yeah, yeah, but the way we overcut the foot slag is out.

Anyway, because there's no grip from behind, we have a few laps. Yeah, we're with you, Nico. We're with you. It's just Piastri is 7 behind.

Don't give me any spoilers now. Tyres are short, I'm just driving it to the best I can.

We are boxing this lap, Nico. I'm doing plus 0.7.

We would clear Albon this lap, and Hamilton is three seconds behind, so we don't want to lose time to him. Yeah, but if it's a safer car, we pick it up.

I am struggling with tyres now. One more.

Understood, Nico. It's very close to Albon. If we wait one more, we could come out behind him. Albon is good.

So, Albon three seconds behind and Bearman four in front.

Oh, I've got the tyres.

Okay, great job there, Nico. 21 laps remaining.

Control, entry plus one. Good evening, Dave. Requires some management or not?

So we do think an easy introduction would help when you can.

But so far your energies in the S's are good for us.

And a bit of lifting post into the big braking zones.

Albon and Gabi are going for a two-stop now.

And tyre energies are still good for us. Good job.

And we'll need a bit more lift in coast around the lap for fuel until the end.

You can start pushing more on the tyres in sector 1.

No, thanks. Still a long way to go in.

Not really necessary right now.

Is there... Who's behind Bear? Benjamin? There's a 10 second gap to Alonso.

I don't think there will be any threats, Nico. We've got Alonso and Lawson. 10-lap hold. Oh, my tyres are gone. 10-lap hold solved.

We are B1-7.

We are P8 at the moment.

And the last lap was good on lift and coast time. We need that until the end of the race.

Driver default delta zero zero on Wicocam. Delta zero zero.

And a bit more lifting coast in the last lap. A bit more lifting coast.

It will come down anyways.

Okay, whatever. Yeah, just keep an eye on your dash, Nico.

That number needs to be one at the end. Needs to be zero.

Needs to be zero at the end.

And we'll be five laps remaining and you can push.

And you can push more in the high speed, push more for tyres.

Yeah, but you can stop Schnauzer goes up then.

Is this good enough, your licence?

Yeah, like this is okay, Nico.

You would say something if it's too critical. Yeah, that last lap was a bit much. There's not a lot to gain and save for here. It's the last lap.

This is the last lap.

That's correct, Nico. This is the last lap.

And Hamilton in front might have it, I'm sure.

You fucking idiot, what's up?

No, Nico, nothing to gain.

And that's the chequered flag, Nico. We need a mode end and a slow in lap. Mode end and slow in, please. Oh yeah, give it to me. Give it to me. Give me the points! Fuck, yes. Uh, finally.

Good job, team. It's a comeback from a difficult day yesterday.

And some tyre pick up where you can, Nico.

Soft was really strong there at the end. 38.3.

Yeah, it was holding up OK. I think because we did a good saving at the beginning. Yeah, exactly. Obviously there was a bit more pace without the saving, but yeah.

Yeah, for sure, man. B8. We'll take it.

Fantastic weekend. Just makes you wonder what might have happened in the sprint yesterday, doesn't it? But look, you didn't put a wheel wrong. A fantastic drive today. Yeah, well done and we took some points out of Aston Martin.

Yeah, thanks Jonathan. Thanks a lot.

Behind is Bearman and then Alonso rounding out the top ten.
