Yep, radio check. Yes, all good mate. Five and a half minutes now, so Dex if you go ahead. Radio check, Fernando. Yep, all good.

Fernando, ready to check for the pit wall? Yeah. OK, all good. That's three minutes 15 now. Tyres are in. Six cars on hard. So Gasly, Hulkenberg, P10-11, they're the first cars on hard. Then you've got Colapinto, Albon, P15-16. And then Bortoleto, Hamilton, P18-19. Six cars hard, and then one car soft, Antonelli, P17.

One and a half minutes now.

It looks like Gasly T10, the start tyre is changing. It's currently medium, so we'll let you know when we see what he's on. 40 seconds now.

After launch you can make a little bit of space. We want to push through 1-3, or all the way to 5 if we can.

High-speed weaving. The launch was plus 15.

Hot bit left. Hot bit left.

Enid on tyres through six and then a hundred lift into seven.

Be careful here.

We can make a bit of space. It's high-speed breathing and pushing all the way to 12.

We need a 1.50 lift before 12. 1.50 lift before 12.

Make a bit of space at 12 and then high-speed weaving all the way to 14 if you can.

At turn 14 we need a 1.50 lift. 1.50 lift at turn 14.

Bit more high-speed weaving if you can, before it slows down out of this corner.

Fernando, it will be five burnouts. Five burnouts.

Remember, press and hold K0 during the burnouts. The burnouts can be big with steer as well.

OK, so I'm about to be good now. Minus 17.

Yeah, I mean, Lawson in turn one is maybe a penalty.

I'm behind Hulkenberg. Hard tyre.

Keep the throttle positive.

That's what you call falling whilst staying out.

Unbelievable, 10-1, mate. One time we start at the front, there is a coming car in the inside.

It's not a complete disaster. It's P9 for now. It's a long race, so just keep...

I'll put yellow way on now.

Right, you're now out of the double yellow.

We have reported loss at the first lap so they're looking at it.

Yeah, but he's out of the race now, so, I mean, there is no penalty to serve. Crazy.

I also think I've been hit by Leclerc on the outside, but yeah, it was a mess everything. Yeah, but we did see it, so pressure's certainly fine, front wing looks fine as well.

VSC ending, VSC ending, vintage race. Hold if you need.

Strapped thigh. Strapped thigh.

We are slower than them with the DRS on.

Yep, how much we can do.

Don't worry, just do what you can. Starting lap 9 now.

Energy levels are good for early energy at 12 or 4 when you need it.

Yeah, I cannot be closer than lap four, lap five when I did it and he pulled away, so...

The peg is currently the same or lower the model.

Yeah, but I'm thinking plan A.

So, the entry 6, mid 5, if the understeer is still there.

I think I have understeer in mid-corner but oversteer on entry. Now he's going away.

It is probably mid-five on its own, mid-five.

So if we go now, we just come out behind Tsunoda, who's on the hard tyre. We'll build a bit more of an advantage.

On our balance, Fernando, I'm picking it up at least 0.2. Let me know what you think.

I'm not sure. It's oversteer on entry, so...

So it's a debris left-hand side to all. Possibly where you are now is keeping out for debris.

I will lose position soon.

Copy that, Fernando. VSC, VSC.

They need to give the VSCL this one lap to be a fair race.

It's just a glitz and debris so it might not be too long. Copy on your message. Just be aware in case it does restart for landing.

It's still double yellow at 14. Clear now at 14. Fiercely ending. Fiercely ending, vintage race.

Yuki's push and hold. Push and hold and we'll box this lap.

So tyre greet dry R before you stop. Tyre greet dry R.

OK, so it's 34 to go. You come out around a second behind Tsunoda. Closer to Tsunoda to the exit.

Tsunoda had his 15 lap hard time.

Bearman is going to box this lap or be close to the exit.

Bearman, one back of you hard.

Colapinto, car ahead of Tsunoda, have been doing well at 38. It's got a 60% left turn to turn.

Did anyone take the virtual before?

You're strat 7 now, strat 7 now.

Good job. So Colapinto's 16 lap older, hard tyres are new.

Good job. So it's now 27 to go. 27 to go.

Car ahead is Hadjar. He stopped two laps ago on to the hard tyre. 36.4, last lap.

25 to go. Car behind is now Bearman. One lap nearer hard than you. You are currently P12.

We have a problem, eh?

We are currently looking at P-B, P-B.

Race situation, so Hulkenberg and Ocon are still on their race start sets. Hulkenberg's around three seconds in front of our pit window. Ocon, Ford stop behind you. Two seconds back, three seconds back.

Three seconds back. Probably those two were racing for points.

OK, let's see what we can do. We are now...

Yeah, but I mean, I'm the only car lifting in the corners and things like that, so, you know, we kill the tyres, what we can do.

Just let me know how aerobalance is.

It's OK. OK, copy.

Low speed mid-corner is nervous. Do torque 11. Torque 12. Torque 12.

Overall deg is still below model for us, so Ocon has stopped now. He's around four seconds behind Bearman.

I will lose position soon. We lose three tenths of the straight.

Be ready for your head to the pit exit.

And I know it's frustrating, but at least Edward's going to go behind car.

If you need to go flat in turn for defence, then do it.

We might make it a little more difficult, so you've got another half, so it's Ocon. Poor lap hard behind you.

Need more rotation, it'll be D4 next. D4, 12 laps to go.

There's seven laps to go if you don't know.

If we lose that front, so we'd prefer torque 2. Try torque 2.

Okay, that'll be 5 to go over the line.

So fronts are dropping out the window now. Reduce the lift at coast if you need it.

Strat 5. Strat 5. Starting final lap.

Early energy exit to Prol.

That's the flag. It's a flag. Good efforts, right? It was very difficult. I thought it would be. That's a P13 in the end.

You can do MFB, blue, override, position, full. MFB, blue, override, position, full.

Just be aware when you come into entry, all the cars are stopping early. Be very, very steady on the way in. Pulling up quite early.

Yeah, thank you boys. Long weekend, long night. Thanks everyone for the effort.

How was the race for Lance? Any better? Lance retired lap one. Very big damage.

Definitely quite a lot of damage to this car. I think rear wing, front wing as well.

No, not much fun in the whole round, really.

Final order.

Verstappen, Norris, Russell, Tonio, then you've got Piastri, Antonelli, Leclerc, Sainz, Hadjar P8 and then Hulkenberg, Hamilton, final point.
