Yeah, radio check.

Yep.

Just under two minutes.

Just under one minute.

Track temperature still 5353 degrees. Pit limiter on. At 15. Thanks for watching.

It's in the tyres, Max. Okay, no more than 50% from here. No hard braking.

Good job with the tyres, Max. No change to the launch procedure.

Last car approaching back of the grid.

I squeeze like crazy.

I've got no car speed.

Mode 6, Max. Mode 6.

DRS enabled.

Keep up the lift off at this stage, Max.

Hamilton increasing his lift-off.

Autumn has been instructed to increase lifted coast.

Ah, Lewis, definitely getting advantage with all this, huh? Depends on where we've reported it.

Feel free to increase high-speed diff at this stage whilst following Bearman.

We do need a little bit more left of coast now, folks.

Plus a gap behind. 0.6.

I have no grip. Yeah, it's the perceptors at the moment, so try to lift the coast where you can.

OK, gap 0.96.

Yeah, 0.98.

My tyres are not cooling down, so forget about it. OK, understood.

Gap 0.91.

So, just continue the lift that goes for PU temps at this stage. Lift that goes for PU temps. Gap 0.98.

OK, Max, we've seen some front overloading. Antonelli does not have DRS. We've seen some front overloading, so let's think about B-Bal 8 and then control whether it's minus one or minus two. Hamilton has been given a 10-second penalty for leaving the track gaining an advantage.

Current gap. Yeah, I made up struggling a lot for that there. Current gap to him is six seconds.

Sir, keep on top of your lifter coast for turn 12.

Can I have a front flap update, please, Max?

Yeah, it's fine, nothing works. Everything is numb.

Strat 7. Gap behind 1.2.

Just increase that level of lift-off, please, Max.

I got 1.1 behind.

So Hamilton 23.6, Bearman 23.3, Antonelli 23.4 and the gap to him behind 1.3.

I can reduce, lift the coast to turn one.

Antonelli in pitlane.

What do you want me to do?

What are we doing? Staying out, mate.

Yep, so are we on a one-stop or a two-stop at the moment? Right. OK. I can hear everything.

Hamilton in the pitlane.

So it's looking like extremely long stints for these cars that have pitted onto the medium max. I think around 45 laps for them.

OK, back to your three for lift at coast. So just manage it for tyres.

I can hear...

That's 30 laps complete. Engine 11, position 6. Engine 11, position 6.

OK, so Yuki, last lap 23.5. He's got Bearman and the rest of the train behind him.

It's a good lap for a bus.

Since I was struggling, now it's settling. Yep, understood.

We're going to be coming out towards the back of that train anyway, Max.

So, just looking for a tyre delta. Yep.

Have a look at diff mid 9, Max.

Oh my god, it's so impossible. OK, copy.

OK, box and pit confirm, Max. Box, pit confirm.

Strat to 12 in pitlane.

Strat 10. Strat 10.

OK, so, Sainz two seconds behind.

So, 34 laps remaining, lads.

Average tyre delta to the cars ahead is around 15 laps.

They are all on the medium tyre.

Mode 7, Max. Mode 7. So, Bearman pace 22.4.

So we just need the best possible tyres as we approach that track, Max.

I'm safe. I can't push anyway. So, just save it. Yeah, understood.

OK, so that's 40 laps complete, 31 remaining.

Oh, that's a bloody cutscene I love.

At mode six. Mode six.

Hamilton lap time 22.2. That is the pace of all the cars ahead.

Preserving this high surface temperature for the next time round.

We have boat 9, Max. Boat 9.

So, obviously these cars are moving on to a two-stop. So car ahead, Russell, his pace 22.2, Bearman 22.4.

Give me the fastest mode. Mode 6 for now. Mode 6.

OK, so both Bearman and Russell in pitlane.

That's 23 laps remaining.

All of these cars have fitted the soft tyres.

Bearman is still the car behind. Gap 16.

That was no pace. You're going so quick.

21.7 for the next lap.

I'm there, but it's 16.2.

Leclerc, last lap was a 22.0, Max. You were a 21.1. The gap to him is 12 seconds and there are 21 laps remaining. Again, incremental gains every lap.

Bearman's pace was at 20.9.

Okay, radio, what I get?

So, Bearman needs around 7 tenths a lap to catch us. Leclerc last lap was a 22.0, so another 8 tenths.

At this pace, we should get towards the end of the race.

Offset 21.9, Philippe Leclerc. Gap is now 10.6.

Strat 11. Leclerc 21.9. Gap 9.8.

Leclerc at 21.8. Gap 9.3.

Okay, we're looking strong to the cars behind. Max gap is still 14.3. 16 laps remaining.

Leclerc 22-0.

The gap is 8.4.

OK. There's your man ahead of you. Gap at 21.9. Let's go. That's why we come racing. Gap 7.7.

Gap to Bearman 14.3. There's 15 laps remaining.

OK, Leclerc 22.2. The gap is seven seconds. Fourteen laps remaining. Basically, you need half a second a lap. That would reach him at the end of the race.

So Leclerc 21.9, gap 6.3.

Leclerc 22.0. Gap is 5.5. 12 laps remaining.

Okay, Leclerc's pace 21.6.

Get yourself into DRS.

OK, Leclerc, last lap was a 22.1. Gap is 4.4. That is 10 laps remaining.

Leclerc 21.7. Gap 3.9.

This is an insane stint, Max. Just finish it off.

It looks like a 22.1. Gap 3.2.

I'm doing the protocol, but it's not giving me what I want, you know, one step more aggressive under braking.

That's... It is working, Max, as you expect.

And info, left-hand toggle is a double-step if you need that.

Claire 21.9. Gap is 2.5. That's six laps remaining.

Leclerc at 21.8. Gap is at 1.9.

That's five laps for radio bags.

OK, four laps remaining. Gap 1.2.

The gap was just over one second. So three laps remaining. You do have mode 9 available should you get to that position. Otherwise you can press and hold overtake.

The blue yellow is ahead. The blue yellow is...

Sainz engine off.

Right side of the car deployed. Dash positive.

So double yellows at turn 13. 13.14.

The car is completely safe there. We never get there.

This is final lap, Max.

Mode 3, Max. Mode 3. BSC ending. Mode 3. BSC ending.

I'm out of luck, sir. You're shite. Hold on for the last...

Yeah, it was a good strategy, I think, at the end, we did. Just a bit unlucky with the safety car there at the end. But, yeah, I think we maximised that result. That was quite tough at the beginning. But, yeah, well done with the strategy. That was good.

Well done, Max. The second stint was absolutely mega. Well done. Unlucky with the VSC, but for sure you got everything that was possible to get out of the car today, so big congrats.

Yeah, we'll jack it up. Yeah, need to study for the weekend. That's still, yeah, some good points I would say.

Pick up, please, on the way in, Max.
