3-0.

Yeah, same for me.

Radio check.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

Yeah, got you. It's all good.

We're happy with PU temps.

And confirming, give me five burnouts, five burnouts.

HPP 12, position 1.

Last car approaching the grid.

He's got a 0.4 behind him.

And we have double yellow at turn 10.

Gap 1.2 ahead, 6 behind.

Safety car, safety car. Keep delta positive. And we'll be staying out. So it looks like Bortoleto stopped at turn 10. Debris on the outside of the corner.

So you come out on that yellow, so it's still on your left.

So we're staying out and stay right, maybe debris towards the pit entry.

And recovery vehicle on track turn 10.

Safeguard should be down at turn 4.

Happy with the tips where they are.

Give me the safety car. We'll take the shortcut at turn 10, so just follow the safety car.

Sir, take the shortcut, follow safety car.

And just stay to the right around the pit entry. There is debris there, so remember staying out, staying right.

Just keep working those fronts.

Brakes feel a bit poor.

And we'll take the shortcut again, so just follow the safety car.

This time we'll stay on track. Turn 10. Just continue to follow safety car.

Safety car is in this lap. Strat mode 5. Remember you've got overtake, push and hold available.

Safety car at turn 12.

I'd say you've got 13.

Is the car OK? Car is OK.

Yeah, we think Carl's OK. Let us know if you're feeling anything.

So it's Hadjar car behind at point 9. Yeah, copy. We're reviewing it.

Gap 1.2 here, so VSC, VSC, keep delta positive.

So, install yellow now.

Does it have a lot of vibrations? Yeah, copy. We're seeing some of that. We're just checking now.

So your aero is all good with my car? No, we're just checking, but in terms of aero, I think it's fine.

Can you go HPP3, position 2, 3, position 2.

So BSC ending. BSC ending. So B is strat mode 5.

So 1.4 ahead, 1.6 behind Hadjar. He has George behind him, another 1.1.

Now we can go strat mode 7 into turn 1 if you're comfortable.

There comes the target, plus five. Gap 1.6 ahead of me.

Got 1.4 ahead and 1.9 behind.

And think about red magic for turn 10. George now a car behind at 2.3.

Gap 1.3 ahead, 2.4 behind.

Gap for 1.7 head, 2.6 behind.

1.8 ahead, 2.5 behind. Can we have HPP three position one? Three position one.

Piastri was 15.0.

George, 50-0 offset.

2.0 ahead, 2.6 behind.

Piastri 15.0, George 15.2.

Gap 2.0 ahead, 2.8 behind. Piastri has 10 second time penalty for causing collision.

Piastri 15.1, George 15.3.

Tyres are dropping.

So, gap 2.5, head 2.6 behind. Some of this tyre drop may just be surface temps there above the window for sector 2.

Your target is plus three. Target plus three.

Gap 2.8 ahead, 2.4 behind and remember to drink.

Balance check, Kimi, balance check.

A bit neutral on entry. Box, box, box, box.

This will be outlap normal.

That circuit's all clear. Bearman, the two and a half behind he has already stopped.

We have to use the tyre to overtake. Stroll at 2.6 ahead on 21 lap hard tyre yet to stop.

Think about diff for entry 10, BMX 3. Stroll was 15.9 last lap.

Colapinto next car. He doesn't have DRS.

Jim Starr, Tsunoda, 0.8. He doesn't have DRS.

Next car is Hulkenberg ahead, 3.7.

Two points ahead to Hulkenberg and Albon.

And it goes straight to 11 into turn 4. That will give us a little bit more performance.

Two cars ahead of you at 15.9s.

So, next car, Verstappen, 7.4 seconds.

Verstappen doing 15.2s, 22 lap medium tyre.

Norris in the pitlane now. He has taken the soft tyre.

So standard was 15-0 last lap.

You can make me up HP3, position 2, but you can't rush through position 2.

So Verstappen now five ahead.

That last lap was 15.3.

I feel something flat in the rear.

It could be those rear surface dents are creeping up against. Just try and keep on them.

Now think about more management turn 10. That will help the overheating in the following corners. Verstappen 3.4 ahead. Last lap he was at 16.1.

Thank you, I was managed from turn 7 to help in 8.90.

What did you say I was seven? More management seven to help beat my ten.

You have DiffMagic's Turn 10 available if you need it, DiffMagic's Turn 10.

Remember to drink. Norris doing 14.1. He's nine laps offset on Newer.

And it could be a target plus six. Target plus six.

Piastri in the pitlane now.

He'll be serving his ten-second penalty.

Copy, we are in the moment. We'll let you know. Norris was 14.3 last lap.

And Norris at 14.4.

Can you just let us know what your pre-air balance is like? Balance check.

Still a bit new to the entry.

And recommend IBIG1 turn 6. IBIG1 turn 6. And Norris at 14.5.

George is six seconds behind. He's doing 13.8s. He's on 13 lap pressure tyres.

Norris at 14.5, George at 13.9.

Kimi, if you can give us your preference, soft or medium for a 20-something lap stint? Medium. Copy, thank you.

So, same lap time as Norris. George, 14.2.

There could be maybe targets plus eight, but we'll just keep an eye on it.

Norris at 44, George also 44.

That's Norris to George, fourteen four.

Did I make a mistake? Okay, box, box, box, box.

So there's 24 laps remaining.

I'm going to have a Lawson ahead. He's got the 30 lap old medium tyre doing 15 once.

Commence stroke at the end. You did 26 laps on the last tyre. 24 needed on this one.

OK, give me some. We've got 12 seconds ahead to Piastri, another four ahead to Verstappen. They are one-stopping. They're doing 13.8. We've got to chase them down.

Verstappen, 13 lap offset on tyres.

So, Gastric was done in 13.8s.

Piastri in pitlane now. Verstappen staying out 13.6 last lap.

So Verstappen, 14-0. We're going to need to be in the 12s, high 12s at least.

Standard for 14.1.

So Verstappen in the pitlane now, 17 laps remaining.

Verstappen nine seconds behind, 16 laps remaining.

OK, Kimi, so the situation has now changed. So we are now defending this position. Sixteen laps remaining. We just need the best stint to the end. Best stint. Whatever management you need to do to achieve that.

Norris, approaching right.

Norris, 13-3. Verstappen at 12-5. He's on the soft tyre.

RS 13 full.

At N13.3.

Verstappen at 13.0.

Thank you. Not expecting wear concern on this tyre. You have 12 laps remaining, so best into the end, mate.

Yeah, I'm fighting. I'm already thick, mate. Copy.

Norris at 13.6, Verstappen 12.8.

Bar is set at 13.5.

George at 13.7. Verstappen at 13.2. He is 1.4 behind George.

So, George, 30 later. Verstappen, 13.1.

Verstappen now car behind. 2.5 seconds.

I'll focus on braking turn one. One tenth loss.

So I'm stamping at 2.4 behind. Eight laps remaining.

Gap at 2.2.

Verstappen, only 13.2. Big laps are obscuring us. Just keep it up, mate.

Okay Gabriel, I'm just going to leave you to your bike.

Maypoint focus, turn 10-11 mid-speed.

Press and hold available at any time.

That's three laps remaining.

Gap 0.5.

Gap of 0.8 again.

And you go straight to 5. Strat mode 5, pits turbo. One more lap.

You can go strat mode 5 but you can't put 0.7 behind.

Gap of 0.6.

Oh, my goodness. That was Russell. Oh, my goodness, indeed. Pick up rubber, please, mate. Oh, yes. Very well done.

Good lad, good lad. That looked like a tough ask, but yeah, he did a real good job defending. Kimi, what a fight at the end, what a fight, well done.

Thanks, Soto. Oh, my God.

Yeah, you can take a breath now, mate.

I was lucky to come away with the contact. But yeah, good job, everyone. What a weekend. Yeah, amazing, amazing, Kimi. Yeah, really, really good work this weekend.

OK, mate, so into pitlane, please.

So, just look for that P2 board and we'll see you up there, mate.
