Right at you.

Radio check. Radio is loud and clear. Copy.

We've got soft tyres on Alonso ahead and Carlos behind. Hard tyres on Max behind us. Hulkenberg.

Colapinto has a hard and Hulkenberg will not take the start. We've made the following adjusts as per plan. Track temp is similar to when you came to the grid. No change to the wind.

We've got four minutes to go, so we'll just go through some usual reminders. Once the engine is fired up, we need to go pitlane speed limiter on, and then we can go to K2 and do a formation lap start. Please keep pitlane speed limiter until you pass the start finish line. Then we'll go to mode form on the formation lap. Let's do what we can to try and build temperature in the tyres. Let's focus on the rears. We can do some little mini burnouts at turns 3, 6 and 11. And then when we come to the grid out of turn 14, let's try and do four burnouts in advance of the start.

When you come up on the grid, we will stop on your spot, go to K2, and then we'll do a start. Remember about the boost but for the start.

So, if cars do come into the box and don't take the start, we are still starting here from P19 on the left side. Okay.

You've got three minutes to go.

All right, so first race for us. Stay focused. Let's keep in constant communication and let us know if we can help or assist you where we can. Let's see what we can do today. Yeah, copy that. Shake and bake.

The last switch was under two minutes ago. A minor reminder, once the engine is fired up, it'll be pitlane, speed limiter on, then mode K2, and a first gear start.

On the formation lap after the start we can go to mode 4 out of turn 1 and then during the race it'll be mode race. I will give you a reminder.

One minute still.

30 seconds.

So we can try and work the rear left. Work the rear left if we can.

All right, so just keep working the tyres. If we can cool the engine, that will help.

All right, let's see if we can with like four burnouts approaching the grid.

Reminder, it'll be mode K2 for the start.

And we can use boost until turn one. Last car is on the grid.

Verstappen, the car behind, Berman, the car ahead. Overtake. Enabled. You have boost available.

OK, so Checo the car behind.

OK, Valtteri, let's avoid using boost for one lap. There's a gap to Stroll behind 0.4.

Right, so tyres are still coming up. They'll stabilise in one to two laps.

Gap to stroll behind 0.8. Start to introduce some rear management. Turn 11 and turn 7 if we can.

OK, so gap to Stroll behind now 1.4. He does not have overtake. Checo 1.7 ahead.

Gap to check ahead 1.3. Stroll dropping back behind him.

Czechoslovakia's last lap was a 27.6.

OK, Valtteri, so for turn 12, think about braking a little earlier, focusing on the exit.

I've got some grading up the front left. It's getting worse.

OK, we've got mid one available for that. Mid one.

Think about management turn 6 and turn 12.

Got a Hadjar slow on the left-hand side, turn 9.

VSC, VSC, so mode safety car, mode SC.

All right, we are staying out, so let's just stay positive on the delta, let's stay as close to zero as you can.

Let's check I have any graining. We'll get back to you.

OK, it doesn't look like there's any grating on the medium so far.

Valtteri, if you had to go up on front wing, how much could you take? Plus two. Copy.

I've lost the drive. OK, stand by it.

Drive. Engine is running but car is not responding too. OK, copy.

OK, we think we might have a clutch paddle in error.

We're looking at this again. Okay.

Yep, let's box. So box, box.

Steering wheel change. So let's get the steering wheel off and go to the right-hand side.

We need 56.5 brake balance.

Can we get fail alpha for alpha where you can?

OK, so car behind is Albon, 2.4.

I don't have any of the gaps on the wheels, so... Yeah, just keep going.

Yeah, just keep getting into the gaps. Okay, copy.

Gap behind to Albon is 1.4.

We've got a blue flag for Albon.

Behind Albon is Sainz. Immediately behind Albon is Sainz.

We've got a 7.9 second gap to Checo behind him.

Okay, Valtteri, unfortunately we need to go both slow and we need to box.

Unfortunately, we have an issue. Yeah, I felt something stretching. Okay, so we got Lawson four seconds behind. And then three seconds behind Lawson is Checo. That's one second to Lawson, three seconds to Leto.

Okay, we need to stop the car immediately. We need to stop the car where you are. I'm at the pit entry.

We need to stop now. We need to stop the car now.

OK, we need to switch off Valtteri. Sorry about that.

We go again next week, mate. Sorry, a couple of issues there. So, very unfortunate.
