Ready to check.

Yes, copy. Have a good day.

Alex, as soon as you're ready you can do green default 1-0, OK?

And it's tyre-wise.

Otherwise, Carlos Bortoleto on the soft, everyone else medium.

Okay, clear the limits, we're on.

Green default, 1-0, double OK.

Go to form after the start.

I'll check it out.

I'm actually very good at spotter.

Same again on the 1.0 attribute.

Switches are good.

Who is light though and still managed not to be overheating. That's Franco, car behind.

We try to hold him off, but then I need to go to plan B.

Understood.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

Feedback hot strips, please.

Cross car.

Fuel very low as you get left handers. Front slip is good at 3 and 4.

Just watch the combined, it's seven.

Gap feels very limited at 7.

Exit 3 for rear slip.

Now, what did you say, Bose?

That'd be a penny, I'd say.

I didn't hear it.

Priority is to stay ahead.

So will I need to defend? Let me know.

We'll aim to defend the mid-honour status as we progress.

3, 2 and a half.

Retry mode 5. Deploying more in 3 and 4.

4.0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

This should give you a bit more up to three and four and less at the back.

Guys, this is terrible.

Guys, this is terrible.

Turn 4, height 70, turn 4.

Turning in later for turn three is helping the front lock.

If you don't like the mode, then into turn 80.

Open into turn 4, go mode 7.

This mode isn't that two tenths slow, is it?

Go back to mode 7.

Roger, cleared B3 and B4 and suggest a single press to cover if you need.

Medium high speed. Cross car is strong and it's just...

Just suggest no combined 3-4, no combined 2-4.

Climb 3-4. Hope your blind's better.

Turn about, talk, levy and turn on.

What? So it's a skid.

This mode is helping you do that.

It's just trying to keep Franco away, because I'm slow behind in sector 0-3.

I take wide square.

Let's go for mode 7.

You can single press 3 and 4 as you need, but this will be a clipping pace.

So I'll deploy more into 9 now.

Gap ahead at 2.3, gap behind at 2.4.

You need more help at low speed.

Feels a little bit of everything to be honest.

Strock, cross car, medium high speed.

Bearman, last lap, three tenths quicker than Practice.

Turn one, front block.

1.0 DRS enabled.

Speak to me at the middle of the vertical break.

Rear slips on the high side of the port.

How long can we maintain this pace for, Alex?

For Royal Pulse.

Okay, keep pushing, Alex, keep pushing.

Maybe a quad.

Maybe up one. I don't know, I feel like I'm...

I'm losing the rears a lot compared to FP3 and FP2 on the brakes.

Thanks. I've got no airbags, no speed.

Box, box.

Okay, medium tyre.

Push and hold after two seconds at Vauxhall exit.

Turn straight out, watch the right line at exit.

Exit two seconds after full throttle is push and hold.

Brakes.

Thanks. Nice.

Brake flash fifty-nine and a half.

So the hard tyre offset works relatively well.

Tyre offset looks relatively poor.

Report. Get to do 30 laps on this.

You haven't told me really what we're doing. I don't know plan A or plan B.

It's poor, so to extend this step, I'll come back.

Let's step on it.

It's no pace. What pace target? That's my target.

13.5 target, 13.5.

Cracker has pitted. He should be ahead.

Let's hope that there is. Stairs like that.

Pace is good.

So we can extend the range on this stint and make a bit of a turn.

We could be looking at a soft finish.

That's one track, that is. One strike.

I still need help.

A lot of fucking underbrake.

That's 2-0.

Forcing me to hit the brakes too hard, which is great.

It's too hard, which is creating a rear lock.

OK, torque 11.2 at a step on the button.

I'll pop my bumper.

Safety car windows are closed.

We have capacity to add.

OK, BSC, BSC.

I'll be staying out, close on the delta, positive on the delta.

No transcript available

Thank God he's here. Thank God he's here.

OK. Radio check.

Yes, the VSC does, yeah.

Copy. So I'll stay out, positive on the delta, Carlos stopped on the start-finish line.

Double delta, Bortoleto.

All turn. All turn 10.

It's a very big car, silence, because...

It's very disconnected. It's a little bit of a surprise. It's the worst lap in 203.0.

It feels like I'm just front-locking everywhere in the brakes.

But I'm struggling a lot to...

Roll the airspeed.

It's making me push the car.

Stay left marshals on the track. Clearing the gap.

We've got the torque at 11.

We'll have to talk to the Barton.

And we've got margin on the dirt at Paul Toggle at turn 4.

I appreciate the comments on the understeer, but the rears are in a sensible position at the minute.

Just keep an eye on that.

Yeah, I know, I'm just using so much throttle to find the car in low speed.

I don't really see the brakes.

Brakes very slippery on edge here as well.

Martial's still on track. Stay fully to the left of the straight. Martial's on track.

Double-delta start-finish line upwards.

So we get a race. OK, BST ending. So, go, race.

Middle of exit. Safety car 2. Hold 60% throttle. Push and hold on release.

Strock to Ocon at one and three-minute speed.

OK, 45 laps to go.

Plan A, plan A.

I need to take a few blues on the way through.

Bye-bye.

OK, I will start with the car behind us.

Yes, we go through this step quickly.

Brake bias and then a bit more.

Brake first and then a bit more EV.

4EB. I have me underbrake unlocked.

It's bloody luscious.

Plus plan A, plus two, big three.

Plus two and three blue flags.

Yes, this is just...

Come on, two coaches.

Yeah, thanks. With the complex.

Okay, so the priority is status 3.

Status 3. Priority is stacked. Status 3.

That's five where we are with raccoons.

5-0 with raccoons.

George races Ocon.

Yeah, my bearings don't work like this, so...

Sorry, I can't see. Check the...

Brake.

Brake bias plus half.

Should help decrease slip and the brake front lock.

Verstappen 1.5.

Check the downshifts.

So that's the second.

You're taking quite some time now.

Just enter 7.

I looked quite knownly at turn three.

Gap's at only 1.5.

Blue antenna enabled in 1.8.

Go to Parc fermé.

Gap behind at 4.5 to Leclerc.

It's a right through fourth.

Turn 1. It's very close. It's massive understeer.

I think we're just way under balanced at low speed.

Hard tyre. Some comments have been more than limited.

No transcript available

Limited. Still be rear overheating.

Track temp has dropped two degrees since the start of the race.

I've got plus one for a hard.

Keep pushing, keep pushing, Captain Piastri, 2.8.

Xbox hard tyre plus one other flap.

Reset bias 60.5.

It's hard tyre plus one turn.

Exit after two seconds. Push.

Step to the left, two back.

Yeah, it's blue, you've got 0.75 left and there's a nine second gap left to live below.

Just 32 laps to go, target.

So go target 13-0 to the end.

Wind repulsed, anything?

Wind's been consistent across mid 3-7.

Another two laps in status 4.

I don't know what's going on, but I'm...

No transcript available

Go for this. With this pace.

Pitlane 1.5 behind.

Relay hatch out.

The radio is not the clearest.

The radio is not the clearest.

Theta's 4 and I'm at low 13.

Yes, yep.

With an Ocon last lap, he's two cars ahead, he just emerged so.

We are net with Blue Flags. Three seconds.

With blue flags three seconds behind it.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

OK, it's 20.0.

OK, there's 28 laps to go.

I'll give it another few laps and come back to you.

Thank you. Plan B.

Give you two, three laps to clear out.

Ask us where we go after that, whether we split the rest of the step 28 to go.

Blue Galaxy is 5.7 ahead of all other cars.

I'm ahead of all of the hard tyres.

Just watch the peak pressure at turn 10.

Wind looks to be more gusty now through turn 10.

Three tenths quicker than Ocon last lap.

I see the last surface overheating. What's your status?

Fair.

Nice turn.

Two and a half tenths to ALCOP, turn three, last lap.

At the wind, 3-tonne-six.

B6. The area is hot.

Hot. Gusty.

Over and inside window 6. Tailwind inside window 6.

No transcript available

Consistently stronger through 3.

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

OK, pit exit just behind.

Point 9.

I was a bit catastrophic.

Sopcnik, Franco, medium. I have a pitted pass.

You're half a turn forward. Stay off the slips at turn 4.

4.0. Crack go yet?

OK, all on point 5.

The car balance is improving.

You missed it.

Check the front, it's helping the balance.

Keep the balance. OK, just behind point three.

Throttle seven at nine.

7 and 9. Closing the snaps. Come on, good boy.

You can get within Ocon, within 10.

In Ocon, within two seconds of Ocon in the next 4-5 laps.

If you ask me, it's more about if Franco gets past him the other time.

I've got a seat left.

Yes, that's how you do it.

He's just clocked us at this pace.

Can't really go faster.

Okay, we're just trading.

Red X, blue flags, pit check.

Pitting or staying out, taking the blue.

Lost. Staying out and taking the blues.

Planning to stay out at the moment.

It's a VSC, VSC positive on the delta.

Step by.

Positive on the delta.

There's going to be a box opposite Ocon. He's three and a half ahead.

I suspect this won't be that long, mate.

Stay out, 60% throttle, apex.

Set throttle. Apex A.

19 laps to go. Gap to Ocon 4.4.

Hang on, guys, is that understeer at turn one?

Full throttle.

It's a front-locking group.

AFM on the front block. Was it tailwind? Guts 2-1.

So the safety car window is open for appearance.

Window's open for a BSC. It's box opposite Ocon.

Sixteen to go, Ocon.

Turn six will help the rear right sliding.

Consistently stronger at turn 3.

Stepping stronger at turn 3 to Ocon.

Tyre pressure is 6.7.

We'll be three tenths to the end on Ocon.

Ocon, Ocon. So have a chance of beating him. It's 14 to go.

Push your foot out.

So, I'm going to see what I can.

Yeah, copy that.

We'll check the half-crick at the last lap.

Just backing up the entry at 9.

Yes, that's a high percentage I'd say, it's a clear win.

Copy that. I shall help you where we can.

Suggest a later turn in at turn 4.

No transcript available

Stability. 12 to go.

Forward top, set for landing.

Forward top, set for last.

DSC window now closed. We're going to another three tenths on Ocon last lap.

No transcript available

Approving 6 and 7. Matching at 6-7 now.

OK, 10 to go, get put through.

Gap cut 0.0.

And then it faltered by a lapse.

Expect to see dual-trace leader.

Oh, the front's getting close.

Flaps are stable, flaps are stable.

Torque 9 for turn 3. Torque 9.

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

Georgian at 1.5.

Go back to efficiency. It's a blue for George.

That's a blue for George.

Track is set back.

He goes in the gap to Ocon when he takes it.

18 laps, Luis Verstappen.

I feel like I have a puncture.

Pressures are okay.

2, didn't use the button at 3, that's it.

Use the button at 3.0 with the blue flag.

Three-eight on this one.

Currently Stowe-Weiss blue Verstappen. There's a three second gap to Antonelli.

He's a rat's attic.

Cop took a blue flag out the middle of the straight, which would be inefficient.

We'll do our best to stay ahead of Lawson. 2.7 bar in left lane.

Parc Leclerc, 4.7, Parc.

I think we're all to go. Gap 2-1.

All to go. Gap to Ocon at 1.9.

Go support flight 2.

Okay, efficiency again.

I'll see you again. You're awesome, buddy.

2.0.

Red 3-second gap to Piastri.

Two laps to go.

Two ahead with the blue to take.

Hamilton, 3.0.

Hamilton, 3.8 back.

Tight track. Should be OK.

I think our best bet is a push and hold into turn 4.

Four starts in their last lap now.

That's blue.

OK, check and flag.

Thank you. I'll stick with it through that.

Thrust and switch changes mode.

Gauge is 0.13.

Blue 1, P12.

Thank you, Alex, for fighting it.

Thank you, Alex, for lighting it up there today.

Good out there today. I'll get better next week.

See you next week. Preferably with something to call.

My car, better conditioned, but well done.

Yep, thank you.

Service switch checked. Blue 1.

Blue 1, position 12. Blue 1, position 12.

Blue 1, position 12.

Full throttle to empty the battery if you can.

Just remember that disconnects all the vests.
