Radio check. Ladder clamp X.

Okay, formation lap procedure. Mode 12 for the dummy launch and formation lap.

We'll buy my radio one day. Pit limiter off. And a static 5.5 once the car is on the ground. During the formation lap, target plus 15 on the dash for the rears. We think we should be able to get to at least 7. From 12, no more than 50% throttle. That's really important, Max. From the last corner, no more than 50% throttle. And then one row from the back of the grid, which is effectively P22. Looking for two long, one short. Two long and one short burnout. I will reconfirm that at turn 12. As ever, perform the extra ramp and run and coasting down into your start position.

So, slight adjustment, there'll be three long burnouts. Three long burnouts, that's from two rows before the back of the grid. And the extra ramp rather than coasting down. So three long and an extra ramp.

The last car has approached in the back of the grid, Max.

Mode 6 when you can, Max.

So, running order, Russell, Norris, Hamilton.

DRS enabled.

So, gap 0.8 on DRS.

0.7 on DRS.

Max, we can trade energy down to turn 1 for the energy in 6. Help me mode 9 if you need that.

OK, it was almost one second this time, Max. He is just on DRS, but it was one and a half tenths further away than last lap.

Gap 0.7 again on DRS. Strat 6 should be a bit more performance. Strat 6.

Gap 1.3. No DRS, Max. Does not have DRS. Good job. Keep on it.

OK, Carbohound behind is now Norris, 1.4.

Just keep us posted about the mode switch position. We'll leave it with you.

1.6 to Norris Max.

How's the balance? I'm just managing tyres. Understood.

Currently only loss to Checo is through 6 and 7. Keep it there for now. No need to pick it up just yet.

1.1 behind.

1.7 behind.

Norris pushing a lot more in 4-6-7.

Losing from there on, though.

Engine 7, position 2. Engine 7, position 2. Gap 1.8.

Strat 5, when you can. Strat 5.

OK, so roughly about a tenth quicker than Norris each lap. Half a second to the field behind.

So Max, Norris still pushing extremely hard in 6th and 7th, almost 3 tenths in there.

We are approaching stabilised temperatures.

Gap 1.4. Let us know how we can help you tracking balance. No, it's just weird, but super sensitive.

That's ten laps complete.

Max, if you'd like it, it's the push toggle in the middle sector for entries. Push toggle for entries in the middle sector.

I'm actually currently happy with the high-speed dip. Yeah, just the last corner was really bad. I don't know. It's not good.

So, gap behind 1.4. Norris 15.2.

Still two and a half tenths to Norris in 6 and 7.

You can go back to mode 6 if you prefer.

So, 1.2.

Yeah, we have to make a decision here. If we are going to push the high speed or not. Yes, we are going to push the high speed, Max. I've been telling you for the last three laps, Norris is 2.5 tenths quicker than you in 6th and 7th.

1.7

So Norris 15.8, Checo 16.2. You can have one lap on, one lap off if you like at 6 and 7.

Norris 15.2, Checo 15.9, Russell 16.5.

That's 1.9.

So that's 17 laps complete, Max. Seven remaining.

2.5

2.7

2.5.

Five laps remaining.

2.5

2.4

Three laps remaining. Norris 14.9.

3.1

And two laps remaining, Max.

3.6

Coming up to the final lap, Max.

4.4. That was some fun. Nice job. Mode 1 and slow button please, Max.

Yeah, good race. I think we executed that well. Much better than last year.

Yeah, well done, Max. That's a great start to the weekend. Well done. A lot of good information there.

Yeah, I think you managed that well, Max. Looked after the tyres in the right places at the right time. Obviously, still have plenty to go. 14.7 on the last lap is very strong. Let's say Norris gave up the ghost. Checo 15.5 last lap. Russell 16.9. That was their pace at the end. Leclerc 16.5.

Yeah, it was much stronger. Now. Thankfully, yeah.
