OK, radio check, Esteban. Loud and clear. Loud and clear for me. So, tyres are a big mix. So, it's half and half, medium, soft, and then there's a few on hard. So, Verstappen, Tsunoda, Stroll and Alonso are all on hard. And then Guateleto, Sainz, Hamilton on soft in front of us, and Colapinto on medium.

There are cars immediately around us, hard at the summit.

Three minutes.

Two minutes.

So currently no rain under radar anymore. Minutes to formation lap.

Head levator is off.

No transcript available

Brake pad exit is still closed.

About five seconds. OK, green light.

Nice one, just keep your tyres warm.

So, box this lap. No overtaking until safety car line one.

OK, so remember about RS for the start.

First car is off the grip.

Pit limiter off for the start and RS.

I have lots of puncture ahead.

Yellow. Sickle yellow. Double yellow.

Safety car, safety car. Mode slow, stay out, stay positive of delta.

Check for damage with debris. The tyre pressures look OK for now.

Yeah, Bortoleto obviously at turn 10 and double yellow there.

All good on the aero.

Just checking if you did mid three on purpose. Yes. Bit more understeer than planned. Copy.

There's a recovery vehicle on track, double yellow 9 and 10, and the safety car will take the shortcut at turn 10.

Let me know from brake temps with the forward modifier. OK, all good so far.

So car behind Tsunoda has pitted for medium wall.

And this will be your second time pass.

You can go to mode W.

And tyre temp target is plus five.

Clear safety car will take the short cut again and turn 10. Still double yellow 9 and 10. Oh, no, track is clear at 10.

So just for info, Hamilton behind has floor damage. No news about Verstappen.

Safety car in the slab, safety car in the slab, so mode RS.

Stay close to the car ahead.

Safety car has left the leader.

Track is clear. Now overtake it before the line.

VSC, VSC.

Mode slow. I don't know if I was just in front of Tsunoda or not. OK, we'll check.

OK, it's double yellow, turn 4. Leclerc has stopped on the right hand side.

Check Tsunoda was ahead.

Stop and box, you know why?

I'll clear it right now.

Verstappen had a puncture.

So we're concerned we have a puncture as well.

Which one? Front right, front right.

Let me know. He's now not turned up after. Yep.

Would you like a flap adjust? Medium. Yeah, medium. So VSC ending, VSC ending.

So box this lap, box this lap for medium.

Start at outlap, please.

OK, 62 laps to go.

Sixty laps to go. Verstappen is doing 13.8.

59 laps to go. Pace is good.

58 laps to go.

That is doing 50 in low and Hadjar in 3R, 50 in 5.

Fight, loss, pit exit.

Forlòs, stay out.

Insure the tyres.

That's would have been strategy, 57 laps.

Okay, everybody's stopping off the hards.

Watch rears, turn seven.

Suggested shape 4.

There's a lot of cars in our pit window, so we need to keep these tyres alive.

OK, so Olli and Sainz have fitted. They will come out behind you.

Suggestion EB10.

And let Ollie go as soon as you can.

We'll be close with Hadjar pit exit.

Ahead of Hadjar.

Okay, so we're totally back in the race. The car's behind, obviously, our new mediums, so we just need to keep our head down and our pace up and keep the tyres alive.

Plus 0.567.

OK, we're P30, 51 laps to go.

Suggestion shape 5.

OK, let's stay in front of these guys.

Forty-nine laps to go.

Suggestion of shape 5.

Plus one and seven rear.

1-7 is good. 47 laps to go.

Forty-six laps to go.

If you're trying to lift them first for one, try to brake a bit later.

44 laps to go.

Forty-three laps to go. Verstappen on same tyre age, 15.5.

Alonso, box of medium, he's 12 behind.

Ola, Pitta and Stroll also pitted way behind us.

Forty-one laps to go. Oli's doing 48.

Forty laps to go. Keep this pace. We're around P12, P30.

Thirty-nine laps to go.

Try to stop at the pit exit.

Verstappen ahead on new medium.

Thirty-six laps to go.

Thirty-five laps to go. Minus 0.567.

34 laps to go. Cars ahead are starting to box.

Target is to have a good tyre at the end of the race.

Thirty-three laps to go. Sides boxed ahead.

Thirty-two laps to go.

Thirty-one laps to go.

Behind new soft, no management anymore. Push.

Thirty laps to go.

I'd love to go.

What do you think on balance?

Happy to drop a turn. Copy.

Twenty-eight laps to go.

Driver default C01. OK.

Hulkenberg will get DRS. Keep him behind. She's got K1.

I think we need to box this lap, otherwise we lose time. We know.

I was keeping behind, but I was licked up.

Stay out for now. Just try to keep him behind one more lap.

Motifu, motifu.

Why have we picked this?

We'll explain later.

And box this lap for medium.

Esteban in. Got my DRS.

Standard outlap. Clear on exit.

Alonso behind on new mediums.

Suggestion EB9.

Management is good.

23 laps to go.

One more lap of this management level.

21 laps to go. Let's try target lap time 13.5.

Suggestion metre three.

So we're currently P14, 12 seconds ahead. There's four cars to overtake.

We're gaining one second a lap.

Minus 0.567. Push more.

17 laps to go, so Stroll ahead has boxed. Come out behind.

Sixteen laps to go. Albon has boxed as well, so P12.

Push more 6-7 still.

Fifteen laps to go, so if we can go back to 13.5, there's four cars ahead we can catch.

The other one-stoppers are struggling a lot.

Jump to the car ahead of Sainz.

That's Gasly and it's 7.7.

This is 14.3.

Suggestion shape 2, 13 laps to go.

Twelve laps to go.

Suggestion brake balance half a percent rearward for front locking.

Eleven laps to go. We keep taking chunks of these guys. Keep going.

10 laps to go.

Nine laps to go. Gasly reported a lot of dig.

Eight laps to go. Turn six, just try to focus mid and exit.

Seven laps to go. Nearly there.

OK, let's get Sainz quickly.

The other car behind.

And then cars ahead are doing 16s. Four cars very slow.

Four laps to go.

Seven is possible.

Albon has DRS.

OK, this will be the final lap. Two more chances.

Hey, that's the chequered flag.

Oh, you thought very well. That was so tight. So mode in, slow in lap. Remember in lap procedure.

Ah, that's P12.

I can't believe we had a puncture.

I know, but you recovered well, you raced very well and you had very good pace, so let's take the positives away from this.

Yeah, understood. Thank you. But the race restarted when we came in. It's unbelievable. Unbelievable. Just at that moment.

I hear you.

Okay, so once you've stopped, you go to P1, wait a few seconds, and then P0.
