Radio check, Max. Yeah, radio check. Mode 12 for the dummy launch and formation lap. Pit limiter off. And a static 5.5 once the car is on the ground. If we target plus 10 on the dash with the rear tyres by turn 12, plus 10. And try to keep boost under 3.5 from turn 13. And from turn 14, no more than 50% throttle. So on the run from 14 to the grid, no more than 50% throttle. From safety car line 1, we're looking at five long burnouts. Five long burnouts. And an extra ramp rather than coasting down into your start position, please.

And lap 1, we'll be looking for mode 6 or mode 7. That will be after turn 13.

So tyre update, Max.

Hamilton, first car on hard tyres. And then Zhou and Piastri at the back as well on hard.

That's one minute, Max.

30 seconds.

50.

That's 5.

So, just confirm, Max, it's 5 burnouts.

Last car approach at the back of the grid.

Max, I think we're happy you were ahead when you were top track. Happy to stay there. Of course I was ahead.

Gap 1.2.

Mode 6. Gap 1.4.

BSC deployed. Dash positive. Dash positive.

Keep up that full motion lap, Max.

BSC ending, Max. BSC ending. Recharge off and get ready.

Gap 1.6.

2.2.

Safety car deployed, Max. Safety car deployed. Dash positive. Dash positive.

Any debris that I have to look for?

I don't believe so. Not sure what the safety car is for. The car is up to slip road, Max.

Safety car is at turn 4.

Basically, the incident is at the turn 12, Max.

We can take Strat 5 for now.

Stay left, Max. Stay left. Where you are now.

Yeah, there was a bit of debris there. Just keep checking my tyres.

All OK for now, lads.

The same guy is driving really slow on the straight here. I know everyone needs to get past the car, but then he has to speed up a bit. We've had exactly the same feedback from Charles behind you as well, Max.

Hopefully that will get relayed.

Keep working the tyres, Max.

Yeah, so now max tyres are well under blanket temperature.

You probably haven't driven with tyre temps this low so far this weekend, so you really need to take care.

Gap behind is definitely more than 10 car lengths.

OK, it's in this lap, Max. Safe car in this lap. We can go back to strat 7. Strat 7 and mode 3. Mode 3.

Just info at this stage, Max, the situation at turn 1 on lap 1 with the stewards, we are not going to reverse on positions, so I'll leave it with you.

As a reminder, tyre temperatures are cold.

So just watch your bias offset as you need it.

OK, safety car is in pitlane, Max.

There's no overtaking from the line.

B-Bal offset when you need it.

Gap 1.5.

It will take a few laps now, Max, as the tyres are cold, so just watch slip at both axles. Gap 1.6.

1.8.

Okay, Max. Stuart's update. You have been given the five-second penalty for that incident, but you're already two seconds ahead behind, so we'll just keep eking that gap out to the stop.

There's a flag. Send them my regards.

2.3

Strat 2. Strat 2.

2.1. That final sector was all or nothing straight.

2.2.

Gap? Two seconds.

1.8. My tyres are not that pretty. Understood. High-speed diff question.

Yeah, I need some help.

Display 5, position 12. Display 5, position 12.

And you also have B-Bal 5 available if necessary.

Yeah, I think that could take more than one week. Like two weeks. Understood.

We aren't struggling a lot now. Understeer max. We're just looking at the gaps behind us. Currently still increasing to Russell.

1 DRS behind.

Your tyres are going to get really fucked, mate. I understand, Max.

We will box this lap, Max. Box this lap.

That'll be Strat 12 in pitlane, Max. Box and confirm. Strat 12 in pitlane.

Strat 13.

OK, so that's Russell ahead, Max.

Just take care ahead, Max. Hamilton ahead of Russell has a puncture.

He didn't move out of the way, man. He has a puncture and he just drives like it's a normal race line.

Okay, that's Russell and Zhou ahead.

Car ahead of Russell is Fernando.

So it'd be mode 7 if you want to continue to use the overtake maps.

ATC, stand zero. Check my tyre. Front wing. Stand by. Tyre is OK for now, Max. Stay out for now. Tyre is OK.

Just check front wing. Yeah, the front wing is damaged, but we're happy structurally, Max, so stay out.

Safe car deployed, Max. Safe car deployed.

So, box, max, box and pit confirm.

Thoughts on the front flap? We're going to leave the front wing on the car, Max. Thoughts on flap? Yeah, it's okay, it's okay. Understood, thank you.

Just strapped 12 in pitlane back.

Strat 30.

I'm ahead. I'm ahead. I'm ahead.

I'm out of the Alpine. Understood, Max.

Yes, we're happy with that one.

Display 10, position 1. Display 10, position 1.

Strat 5 please, Max. Strat 5.

Can you give me your tyre update? You pull around here? Yeah, so Leclerc stayed out, so that was five laps on his set. Checo pitted for the hard. Gasly stayed out on his hard tyre. Piastri also stayed out on his hard tyre. They pitted around the same time as you. Behind you, Ocon stayed out.

Max, just a stewards update again. Turn 12 incident with Russell is under investigation.

Okay, it just looked like he just didn't see me at all. He just turned in onto my wheel. I guess he didn't expect me to pass him there.

And safety car is in this lap. Safety car in this lap. So mode 3.

And strat 2.

Again, just think about your bias offset. Tyres are cold, particularly front right.

OK, this is a flat-out race to the end now, Max.

Safe to go out in the pitlane.

DRS enabled.

OK, pace for Leclerc, 37.2. Gap 3.9 to Leclerc.

Max, all settled on the turn 12 front. Russell received a five-second penalty.

Gap to Checo, 2.4.

OK, strat 7 please, Max. Strat 7. Mode 6. Mode 6 for now.

Let's move together here. We can't gather.

0.7. He's on DRS.

Currently 1.1. I will let you know at the DRS detection point.

Does not have DRS.

On DRS, point 8.

1.1

1.1

I'm just going to have to work hard to brake this Tomex.

Just let me know when I can go to B6.

Boat 6. Boat 6 now.

Point taked. Hot DRS.

1.3.

That's 10 laps remaining. Does not have DRS behind. 1.2.

Just make sure you protect that front right tyre, Max.

So, currently think about your torque settings and your diff settings to help that, Max. Yeah, I'm good. Okay, but just watch the front right. Gap 1.6.

1.9

2.2

OK, so car behind now, Checo. So that's 43 laps complete, 7 remaining.

And the gap 2.8.

3.3.

Gap 3.8. Checo 36 behind me.

Gap 4.1. That's five laps remaining.

B-Bal 4 also available, Max, if you need to.

4.3.

So, Tsunoda at head max is on the run to turn 14 ahead of you. He's moving slowly.

OK, Max, this and one more. If we can keep the gap to Checo behind at two and a half seconds maybe, help to turn along, it might be useful. OK, I'll try. Just give me a second, George.

Gap currently 4.2.

3.7

2.5

Leclerc is right behind him, so the best tow you can would be amazing.

That's good there, Max.

That's perfect, thank you.

I think that's three out of three here in the stage, Max, which we call it a royal flush.

Well done, Max. As the GP said, three out of three. Well done. First ever Vegas race. Yes, let's go, guys. That was quite fun out there. At least I had fun. They made it a bit more difficult for us, but it was good. I'm sorry I tried everything I could there on the last lap to give him a toe.

It was good, Max.

Yeah, well done, mate. You did your best to help him out there. Well done. It was close. The DRS was just super powerful. This race was crazy.

Plenty of pickup on the way in as well, please mate.

I'll try to find some.

Without an end plate as well.

Maybe it's faster, mate.

Because you've enjoyed Vegas so much, Max, here's something for you.

Viva Las Vegas! Viva Las Vegas! I thought you'd enjoy that, mate. Well done.

Maybe I need some singing lessons from Gerry. We can book an appointment. Yeah, there you go, mate. Well done.

Head to the pitlane please, Max. Or should I call you Elvis?

No, no, don't do that.
