Yeah, I heard you. It was just a big delay. It was a big delay.

That's just under two and a half minutes, Max, and all cars around you are on the medium tyre. First car on the hard tyre, Gasly, P10.

One minute.

Last car approaching back of the grid.

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

Good job, Max. You kept it calm. Kept your head.

Behind is Russell.

Let's keep it up, mate. We're in the top of it.

And mode 6, please Max, mode 6. Gap behind 1.2.

Gap 1.0. There are double yellows. Turn 1-2.

Double yellows, turn 1-2.

Gap behind 1.6.

ESC, dash positive. Dash positive.

So Max, we have double yellows from turn one to turn four. Turn one to turn four.

You've got thrust at the hold for three seconds, Max.

The gap is 1.1.

There's currently one second.

Yeah, 1.0 did not have DRS.

So, I just push it, right? Gap. Gap. Point six.

Feel free to reduce or cancel management 6-7.

Not the same here at 10.11.

Tell me the gap, please. The gap exit in the corner is 0.8. We do not get DRS until now, and that is 0.8.

When you can, Max. Gap is 0.6. Engine 11, position 2. Engine 11, position 2, not urgent.

OK, that gap is 0.9. I'll let you know at the DRS.

Gap was 0.9 on DRS.

Gap 0.7. Norris pace at the moment 36.7. Gap to him 3.4.

Strat 3. Strat 3. And then engine 7 position 2.

You can stay in Strat 3 from there, Max, for the moment. Gap is 1.4, but whilst you have a little bit of margin, just be mindful of the slip and your pace through the corner.

There are some signs of initial graining across the field actually, Max, so yeah, we just need to be mindful.

The separate lane with the difference is where it's boosting on up. Yeah, so he was pushing a little bit more than you into 7 and through 10 and 11. Not wide open throttle, but less management.

So that's Leclerc ahead of Piastri. Piastri suffering from front graining. As I say, we need to be careful on that front axle.

Front flap to the next set, please, Max.

Oh, it's OK. It's OK. It's OK. It's OK.

We are a match for Norris through there.

Brake and stay back. Stash positive.

Actually, I'll double yellow ahead.

Track is clear but still VSC. VSC ending. VSC ending. Just watch your dash.

Press and hold overtake. Three seconds.

Russell is a shit mate, man.

Gap across the line was 2.8. His last lap was a 35.6.

He is not managing at all into turn 7 and a very low level of management turn 10.

Gap 2.7. Just final sector 2.

So, Russell has now only just matched your pace.

He's now behind Hadjar.

The car has been told to lift 5, 12, 17.

Now the last lap for Lando. Half a tenth faster. Most of that game was straight line in the final sector.

Found a mistake for Lando in the 789 section.

He is also saving marginally more again in 10.11.

Now Max, you can ignore the dash warnings, the front dash warnings.

So Lando definitely into tyre-saving mode at this stage.

5.7, so no immediate requirement for us to cover. There is still Sainz and Leclerc.

Sorry, I'll just keep braking like this. Gap behind four seconds to Lando.

Leatherport 8.9, Orlando.

Norris in pitlane.

So, Norris is one and a half seconds behind Russell. Russell paces at 36.0 at the moment. No need for us to pit now.

Max, we don't need any tyre management at this stage. We'll just react by pitting when we need to, so maximum pace.

Maximum pace now, Max.

Max again, front flap for this next bit.

Oh, yeah. It's not bad. Runners-up is fine. Runners-up.

Just make sure we're not under braking. Yeah, copy that.

So, box and pit confirm. Box and pit confirm. Focus on the marks.

Strat 12. Hit pitlane, please, Max. Strat.

White line on the exit. Expecting gap to Russell to be around 1.5. We'll be close.

Yeah, so we won't be able to introduce this tyre, unfortunately, as easily as we could have liked. But that was a 25-lap stint. 25 laps remaining.

And info, tyre age delta to Russell, eight laps.

Is he saving now, currently? Negative. This lap he did not save into 7 nor did he save into 10-11.

Just for your info, Norris still saving a small amount through 17.

Okay, with that increased gap, he is now managing a little bit more in turn 11. For your info, Norris is managing more than the both of you.

It's a gap 1.7. Russell pace 35.3.

Russell is saving most at turn 3.

Say, to the tune of around 0.4 seconds.

There's no attempts in one corner. Pretty much, yes.

Wow, I'm through the exit of 2. That whole section.

They just replicated the first set. Your first set was very strong, very competitive. Tire appearance looked positive.

Positive. Probably the best of those around us.

Yeah, so Max, just confirming, later from the first set, absolutely no issues with where your graining level was excellent.

This is Bruce from Costa, 8-0-7.

So Norris' last lap was a 34.7. Main losses were turn 12.

And straight line. He's hit a tow to Russell.

He might be faster than George. Maybe we should try and kick that gap out a bit. Yep, tyres are reaching stabilised temperatures. We're happy with that. As I say, turn 12 is three corner.

Info. Cars behind have pretty much reduced all management in turn 10.

Now the gap behind is four seconds.

Yeah, so continue to reduce manoeuvre max. That'll be 17 laps remaining.

Expecting Norris past Russell down to turn 14 at this lap.

Confirm car behind, Norris.

Port Info Max, Lando has been told to come and get you.

And he is saving turns 17, 5, 11.

For reference, the gap is 5.1.

OK, so Norris pacing. 3 air, 34.4. That's sector 3, mostly. You can reduce or manoeuvre.

Gap is up to 5.5. Lando had a bit of an issue in turn 3.

That's a good lap, Max. Gap is 5.5. You can look after front right. 6-7 and 10-11.

Again, just watch your level of slip at turn 34.

Russell and Lando may be saving a little bit more in entry to turn 12.

3rd and 4th, last lap, just stay patient.

12 laps remaining. Gap is 5.3.

Back to safety car. We would lose a place to Lando. Options aren't you soft.

Tyres are still good, I think. Yeah, copy that.

OK, mate, so 10 laps remaining. Gap is 5.9. Norris pace, last lap 34.4.

Nine laps. Gap 5.7.

Eight laps remaining. Gap 5.7.

Seven laps, 5.9.

I feel like I've understeered from brake migration, but it's okay.

OK Max, B-Bal 1, B-Bal 1 and plus two clicks on the offset.

Six laps, 5.9.

Car ahead, Colapinto.

We have mode 5, please, Max. Mode 5.

Three laps remaining, Max. Gap is 9.6. Lando is nursing some form of issue.

Is someone closer? Negative. I think he's just managing the gap through Russell behind him.

OK, Max, this is the final lap.

Press and hold seat. Five seconds available.

Oh, simply lovely, that. What a great race. Car was really good. Fire. Well done. Really good execution. Managed it really, really well. So, very happy. Well done, guys. Well done, everyone. Yeah, as they do, mate, your tyre management was right on point. Fantastic job. Can we just have fail 84 and recharge on? Thank you. Thank you.

Well done, Max. That was proper, proper dominations and a masterclass for tyre management. You killed everyone today. Could only watch. So, big well done.

Yeah, that's very good. Very nice. Very nice to drive like that. That was very enjoyable.

Yes, mate. I know, I know, I know.

I didn't think it was appropriate to say across the line.

Yeah, that's okay.
