You're a puppy, I'm a chick.

Yeah, copy.

It's a good race, last race. Thank you for everything mate. Thank you for the work. It's a good one.

Thank you, mate. Thanks for everything. Thank you. Also, mate, that's good. It's a really good blipper. Take a launch.

Yeah.

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

I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90. I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90. I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90. I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90. Let's just close up the gap here.

No transcript available

We can't get a lift into 12 because we're going to bunch up in the stadium section, so decent lift into 12.

Right, good job with the temperatures here.

So, depot is three here.

Come on, you're alright, you're OK.

Yeah, everything looks OK on our side, mate.

A long way to go, Carl. Let's just get back into it.

My pressures are good. Everything's looking good on the car from outside. Let's just settle into it.

So he's DRS enabled and we can go to scenario one. Scenario one.

Airtree 5 is available if we need it.

We have a slippery surface warning in turn one. There's some debris down there.

Hulkenberg, two cars ahead, complaining of brake vibrations.

That's just for reference. Lawson's pitted for a nose change.

I recommend shape. I've hit these energies are high on the rear.

Hulkenberg ahead, struggling with low power.

Can we have PU12, position 3? PU12, position 3.

I know it's early in the race mode but any feedback on this tyre?

OK, we can reduce Lyco here. I'll be for 30 metres, 1, 1.12.

We're doing a good job here. We're happy that we're not in traffic. Tyres are looking good. Management's fine on our side here.

So, Pierre, now the car ahead. We'd like to go forwards on brake bias, at least one click here, just to help some rear energies.

Temperature riser all looking under control.

I'd still like to go forwards a little bit of brake bias here globally and get tyre feedback.

So let's just keep settled in here now. We're happy with what you're doing on tyres. Lyco's good.

And we have PU13, position 3, as per performance.

We'd like to keep that Lyco at 30 metres, 1, 4 and 12. Touching the kerb at 10 is causing some snaps. Let's just be careful at 10.

We're doing good here. Lap times are matching Sainz up in P11 at the moment.

We recommend going up to high speed 13. That'll help the high speed in turn 7 especially. We consider mid 5 as well.

Copy that, mate. Let's just keep doing what you're doing.

We would recommend just giving up a little bit in turn 2 because we're losing a lot more turn 3 exit compared to those ahead. Focus turn 3 exit.

The balance numbers for us are looking quite stable at the moment, maybe just a little bit globally on the neutral side.

So Sainz has now boxed. He's just come out behind us on USOL.

Right, so safety car window is open. Safety car.

5.3 behind is Sainz on a soft tyre.

That's 50 laps remaining. Sainz has pitted for vibrations off his soft tyres, so he might be converting this into a two-stop, so he's going to be managing less, I'd expect.

Let's just manage our race here.

Well done, let's not lose much time there. Lando just coming out of the pits now.

Can we have some tyre feedback, please? Tyre feedback.

We're having to decrease lifting pace a little bit, mate. Let's just have 0.5 seconds a lap.

I'll be around 20 metres, 1-4-12.

So, safety car and VSC windows open. Safety car and VSC windows open. How's this tyre doing?

Fernando 1.8 behind on a scrubbed medium tyre. Like with Carlos, let's not lose too much time and not make it too easy for them. You head down, mate. You're doing a good job here.

Make the B closest. Stroll on this exit here. This is box 4. New medium.

Again, let's not waste time and make them go around us.

Right, we're going forwards again a little bit on bias. You're seeing some rear slips creeping.

I know his side of the car there, but doing a really good job.

We've got Norris 9.6 behind. He's currently doing 22.7 as the race leader.

We have mode 8, please. Mode 8. This is for performance. Mode 8 for performance. Keep up with one second lift and coast, please.

I don't know what we do. It just needs to be clean. OK, just need to keep things clean.

Let's just keep it clean to the end of the lap. It's all OK.

No, mate, just please bear with us.

Mate, hold by here, mate. It goes pitting at the end of the lap. Just hold here, please.

So, Pierre is boxed now. Norris, race leader, is also boxed. So, no threats from behind. So, let's just get back into the management phase here. Very happy.

Thanks for your patience, mate. I appreciate it.

Right, so Fernando's just retired. Hulkenberg, a few laps earlier as well, has retired.

Go for in front of the gate area, so I'll have to go soft tyre.

It's made to stop. Right, let's focus on us. Albon is the only car on the similar range hard as us. We were faster than him the last couple of laps.

Everything's looking really stable and Alstom ain't doing a good job.

Probably less than I had on a Nusoft.

There might be close support left over here, it's probably going to be a little bit ahead of us here.

Power model, slap time for reference 24.6. Doing a really good job here, mate.

The safety car window is still open. If it were to come out, we would go once past and then on the second lap just put Norris behind 11 seconds. We'd let him go through.

That's what we're looking to do, to avoid that.

That's 30 laps to go. 30.

That's Albon as box. Just reference now, safety car window is open normally now, so safety car window normal.

There's Albon behind on a new soft.

It's the same again, let's not lose any time here.

So far behind is Norris. 3.3 seconds a race lap. Great leader.

I mean, this is the only blue flag. There's a massive gap for the next one, so how could you just take this one?

Great solid blue Doris race leader.

Excellent. Let this one go and then there's 20 seconds gap to Leclerc for the next lot of blue flags. Yeah, now the car behind 8.4 seconds.

So we've got six seconds back. He has a pretty decent tyre delta to us. If he does get close, we'll just let him go through cleanly, please. We're going to wait till the, make sure we don't get any blue flags.

The first blue flag will be the players. Currently 17th, second back doing 21.6s.

We're going to get some feedback on the tyre choice that we go to next.

Top tyre's not looking too bad out there for reference.

Lap time-wise, the soft tyre is not looking too bad. Feedback from Pierre is he thinks the soft is better than the medium at the moment.

We are going to have a short distinctive pull.

We're going to have to stay out this lap. Please stay out this lap.

Mate, we stay one more lap and then there's another blue flag cleared, OK mate? Just one more blue flag cleared.

We think the soft tyre is better, Franco. We think the soft tyre is better at this point.

We're going to box this lap. Box this lap. Soft tyre.

Wait, so Verstappen is just going to be passing through us now. I should think about that introduction, please.

We will maintain a little bit of lift in coast here, so good introduction.

Just watch for airsteps for the first couple of laps here. Fifteen seconds to the next blue flag.

Let's give this gentle introduction update. They're doing a good job with it.

I'm so happy with what you're doing with the induction here. We have ALB 0-0 OK when you can. ALB 0-0 OK.

Righto. Possible debris on the outside of turn 16. Possible debris outside of turn 16.

So this level of management is good, we're happy. We'll let you know when we think we can increase the pace a little bit, but happy with what you're doing right now. Just a reference, Pierre's lap time is 22.6.

I'm happy to keep that level of Lyco there.

So 17 laps remaining.

No more pushing than this in the high speed, so where you are now in high speed is good.

We need mode 6, performance mode 6.

OK, so we think we can reduce the Lyco here. Happy to reduce.

So Pierre's doing 22.5 to 22.7. At the moment, we would not quite catch him towards the end of the race with this pace.

Let's make sure we've got some tyres towards the end of the race, but we can increase the pace if you've got it in you.

The current situation, seven seconds back, is Bearman leading a group of four cars, four-four position, P4 onwards.

We're currently doing 21.2s.

Let's put forwards on global bias, try and help these rear energies. They're just creeping up a little bit.

He has got one more proof. Back to pump.

So Pierre's got his last blue flag for Verstappen. It's a bit close whether we'll get blue flags right at the end of the race. Let's try and keep the pace up.

That car had 6.6 seconds. Got my LSP pushing up.

Watch your high speed if you're getting a little bit nervous in 7th.

Let's just keep it nice and smooth here. Eight laps to go.

Still close with Bearman if we're going to get blue flags. Let's just keep up the pace.

Walker's last lap time 21.2 seconds.
