So Dom, can you confirm me, I like to go after like second or third lap back to the normal setting for, you know, the diff, whatever we sent for turn 4 on the first lap? Like to just do the normal one after, as long as it keeps it locked in turn 4.

Okay, perfect. And we start with which position? Okay, so let's plan it, maybe lap 203.

What sort of grip should we expect on the grid?

Yeah, I can do like just a normal first release and throttle application, yeah.

I want some feedback on clipping gear usage. If you see any big difference, you can be on it as well from the start.

Temps of rain forecast.

Was weather focused?

Papi.

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

Right, so some high speed and good acceleration when you can.

OK, mate, so no high-slip event out of 16, please. Just a normal pull away from there.

And the six burnouts, going to increase that six burnouts. I'll start a little bit before the safety car one line.

Last row forming up now.

Sir, tyres look OK at the moment.

Right, let's get back into it. We'll keep you informed on Aero.

Yeah, parts all over the track. Good finish.

Understood. Tyres are all good. We're looking for damage now.

OK, we're good for the moment. Let's keep going.

So we have double yellows and one.

Double yellow, turn one.

Yeah, this guy's getting understeer down that slope. I have a step over pump.

Lawson in front has damage. BSC, BSC. Recharge on.

Okay Pierre, VSC window is open unless it clears.

Yeah, this guy is miles off the pace. Understood. Seven seconds. Overtaken Pierre. We are boxing and left VSC cleared.

Hard tyre, no flap adjuster. Get sailed down.

We're staying as close to zero on the delta as we can, obviously, no overtaking.

Yeah, I'm looking at that right now, mate. So stay where you are for the moment, just follow Tsunoda, obviously, but yeah. Yeah, I'm looking at it, mate. Yeah, understood.

DRS enabled. Line reminder 13.

Good lap, 13.40. Good last lap.

Out in the face of the guys. Other guys are hard. So, other guys are hard towards the front. They're in traffic mostly, so last laps around 38.3 at the moment.

38.3, the fastest hard runner at the moment.

Who's that? Hulkenberg. He's a P10.

5th exit 5. 5th exit 5.

Tyre energy is all good. Turn 3 will be the limitation, so no more there, please.

Fastest hard runner was Antonelli, 37.2. He's in clean air. P15 at the moment.

We're happy with the entry still. Good job.

Rear slip's looking OK. OK, mate. Now we've got a few more laps under our belt. We can see damage on the rear left. It's losing us five to ten points in low-speed corners. High speed is OK.

Just keep going for now, mate. Your times are still good here.

Clips turn three last lap a bit on the edge. Let's just watch those. Everywhere else OK.

Runners on hard lapping 37.7, 37.8 at the moment.

I'm still competitive. Some of those guys also have DRS as well, so good job. Keep it up.

High pressure. Pumps are now stable.

OK, mate. How are the tyres?

So Tsunoda's time is currently fastest for a hard runner because he's in clean air.

Some of the other hard runners in the DRS train at the moment, they're still lapping 37.5, so times are still good for us.

So, we think grading metrics are improving at the moment. If we need to help more, it will be slips 1, 9 and 12. So, think about your diff mid-switch and braking 1, 9 and 12. It will be fine.

Mode 10, mode 10. Having a look, standby. Mode 10, please when you can.

Turn 5 is good compared to the other car.

So tyre energy is still good or healthy. Guys are front flapping 37.3.

Franco about 10 seconds in front. He's lapping 38.5 at the moment.

Go up on D, it's a D5.

OK, apologies, your last measure was a clear loss of 0.7 with DRS.

OK, we've got debris 13 to 14 in the centre.

Understood. Standby for feedback. Loss of 0.8 behind.

Slips okay at the moment. Slap my tyres again.

Lawson, point seven behind. Slicks are good. Brake show. Want to protect further.

Mate, we're catching four cars in front, apart from Tsunoda and Antonelli, so good job.

VFC. VFC. Stay out. Recharge on. Recharge on.

So we are staying out of the SC.

Gap behind 1.9. That's it.

Correct. Current is looking good. We don't expect the front to get any worse at the moment.

OK, so fastest hard runner is Hulkenberg, 36.5 at the moment. He is in clean air now. And tyre energy is all good, mate. Keep us informed on those front tyres, please. In your mind, are you still thinking plan B or plan A? Question.

OK, mate, so at the moment tyre energies are all good. MP4 status zero everywhere.

This is the last time I'm still in the car.

Franco lapping at 37.2. Last lap he is in clean air. We've got Tsunoda one second behind him.

For the moment we're three tenths quicker. His lap times are improving. Picked up since the BSC.

If you can, second gear 5, 7 and 9 would help.

Mate, so we think these tyre indices are very good. We think the tyre could last to the end of the race, so you need to keep us informed if that print starts dropping away, alright?

Hold these guys up, see if we can close up.

So, we think brake bias forwards one percent. Help rear slip as well.

So, fastest hard runner still, Hulkenberg in clean air, he's lapping below 36s.

I don't know how I can do that. I don't have the... Yeah, understood. We could have a bit of damage. Brake slip's looking better this lap.

Our energy is all very stable still. Good job.

Right, if you need to look after the rears, it's exits 3, 4 and 12.

OK mate, quick tyre update please. For info, we still think plan A is possible.

Understood, we're looking at it. Mode 8, please, for performance. Mode 8.

Cross at the high drop and back up to 2.1 now.

Clean air. Last lap, 36.3.

Yeah, do you think these tyres could go to the end?

Okay, mate, we think if we box, we're going to end up towards the back and finish there. We think staying out, we can take advantage of any safety cars that come our way, so we think we should stay out for now.

Hey mate, head down, do your best. We're happy. Status zero everywhere.

Yeah, turn 4 was very fast. Understeer, oversteer.

At the moment, our grip metrics are stable. Pretty sure we've got a little bit of understeering there, so let's come back to those switches.

Keep me updated if anything changes.

My tyres, uh, for the last track, come on.

Slow down, Franco. Both off medium.

Safety car and PSC windows open.

Nico on the sim at the moment, as does his Antonelli. He's lapping mid 35.

OK, mate, so main focus, exit 9 and exit 12.

Franco behind lap in 36.7.

How many more laps? 15 at the end of this one.

What do you think? I don't know if it's going to cut. Step on a lap.

We'd expect him to catch us in around five laps.

The car was really straining. I don't know if you can see anything.

Suggest going minus one on the dash to help protect the front.

Franco's still lapping 36.5 on that new medium.

No, head down. Just keep going.

Alright, we'll be quite close whether we're lapped or not, so it'll be between 13 and 14 laps to go.

OK mate, so Tsunoda 5 behind now.

Could be close with Franco and Lawson towards the end, but we think he could stay in front. Lawson's still behind Franco.

Let's keep these lap times picking up.

Am I losing compared to them? I want to be fast.

OK, mate, so main off the bone is just turn 12. There's a little bit of turn 9 as well. But that's less consistent. OK, let's do the feedback support.

Right, so we think we will be lapped. That means Franco and Lawson both will be as well.

Boss's last lap, five, nine, twelve, even split in each, two tenths.

Apex and exit of 12. Five and nine, much better. Last lap, let's keep it up.

And let's go if we lap.

Small last brake. I died that lap. There are 12 places to close.

OK, back. Franco's lap time, last lap. Good job. Let's keep that up.

Good job with these lap times. OK, just keep going.

Lawson is now past Franco, he's 13th behind.

Pace is very similar to Lawson so far. Good job.

Seven or eight laps to go, depending if we're lapped or not.

Slowed a 0.9 behind us, gaining nine exits so far.

Third and point six, currently Lawson but not catch us. Keep going.

Lawson, last lap 35.7. His only gain is turn 89.

Fourteen, sixteen, very good. Last lap, keep it up.

Bear with Tsunoda, get us away from those. Let's get back to focusing on those fronts. I have four laps to go after this one.

Nine seconds behind about to be lapped.

Three laps to go. Lawson set up behind. About to be lapped. Last lap time 35.0.

Watch Verstappen left turn.

34.1. We don't expect to be lapped.

Verstappen now the car behind seven seconds. Two more laps to go after this one.

And SOC 5 available for 2 more laps, SOC 5.

Verstappen, four and a half behind. He'll be taking the flag this time. One more lap for us. One more lap.

Last lap, cars behind have taken the flag.

OK, mate, can we long press recharge, please?

Yeah, it wasn't easy, I think, given you had some damage there as well.

Good job, yeah. Braking those tyres out at the end of the turn.

I'd prefer not to have to box lap one, honestly, but, yeah, I think we made the best of what we could there, so well done. Just a couple of notes quickly. So, pickup reminder, as I said. Reminders to drink as well. And we've been told by race control just to watch the pit entry, please. Extra caution there, because it's going to be very busy.

What's the top ten? OK, so, er, for staff one, er, Norris second, er, he was 22nd.
