Thank you for watching.

Radio check, Miles. Radio check. Yep.

Copy you. Just take note of the yellow light when they drop the car.

Thank you for watching.

Carlo, do you like yellow button for turn 1?

Yes, Lance, you can use it.

It's rewards at high pressures only and then normal at low pressure.

OK, Lance, ready to check for the pit wall on tyres. Tsunoda, Tsunoda behind you, new soft. Ahead of you, Zhou, Piastri, Hamilton on hard. Everybody else medium, so... Piastri used hard, Norris used medium, the McLarens. Tsunoda soft next to you.

And Ocon? Ocon, new medium.

OK Lance, let's make some space at turn 1 and then push the tyres all the way up to 5. Good weaving on the straight.

OK, that start was 13 under.

There's a push, good weaving now, and then 100m lift and a good brake application. OK, gentle on all the combined entries.

Keep leaning on tyres where you can.

OK, we're going to have a 50 metre lift and good braking into 12. Lean on the tyres through 10-11.

Good high speed weaving all the way down this straight. 13 to 14. Good high speed weaving.

And then we need a 50 metre lift on a good brake application. Could be some bunching here, so take care.

Brakes are good.

OK, Lance, you're good for your five burnouts. So five burnouts starting just before the Rolex sign. Stay on the racing line now. Do your burnouts.

And then when you stop in your box, it'll be run, switch, race and no bite point find.

So, Lancia P9, Ocon on medium, Perez behind medium.

OK, Perez 1.5. VSC, VSC, VSC. Run through to SC. Keep delta positive.

OK, go out one, out one.

What am I doing?

Out three. Out three.

Okay, VSC ending. Stay out. Run switch race.

Run switch race. Staying out.

Safety car, safety car, we're boxing. Box, box, box.

Run switch SC. Run switch SC. Run switch SC and box.

Delta positive of box.

Magnussen's making a gap. Yeah, we're boxing, Lance.

Is he slowing him up in front? Is he slowing him?

Hi, Greenalp.

Alonso. He's going to come out ahead of Perez. He took the VSC. The car ahead is Zhou. The car ahead is Zhou.

Could I have these guys take VSC?

So, nobody ahead has boxed. Nobody ahead has pitted. Zhou was on hard tyres from the start. He's ahead of you. Perez, 10 behind. He's going to catch you up. He took the VSC. Sainz has fitted hard tyres. So, Sainz behind Perez had an incident at lap 1 and has taken a hard tyre.

Back to tyre green S. Watch for debris. Watch for debris where you are now. Keep to the left we think. Watch for debris now.

Just caution for debris.

OK, so Lance, big picture from the others on hard is that the grip is low. We've got a used tyre, so surface is good, so maintain the temperature as much as you can. Take care now.

Out 1. Out 1.

Lance, if you feel any bottoming through 10-11, we're happy with the lift. If there's any concern of bottoming, take a lift in the high speed with this low grip.

We think that's why Norris went out. So the accident is Norris. He's out. We think he bottomed and spun the car.

Bridge corner. 10-11 where you've just been through. So, if there's any bottoming, take care and the grip is low, so it's important, critical, to maintain these tyre temps, okay?

And Lance, best way to warm the tyres, big straight line braking, so it's good longitudinal braking and then minimal combined.

So just work on the tyres longitudinally. Good braking when you can.

OK, Lancer, we're P15 at the moment. Zhou ahead, all the hard players behind. Also on the hard sites behind him and then Fernando behind him. So Fernando spun turn 1 and has fitted the hard under the VSC. Here, just maintain these tyre temps. It'll be low grip on the restart.

Lance, you can go to out 2. Out 2. We're happy with our rear brakes.

So, Lance, other cars doing a lot more weaving. We can do that. We need more temperature if we can. Lots of weaving and then big braking.

Okay, good job on the weaving, Lance. Keep doing it. Maximum you can.

Too long, I'm going to start sobbing in the background.

So, Lance, it'll be in this lap. Safety car will be in this lap.

So we're just going to need strat 7 and then as much tyre warm-up as you can. Maximum job on the tyres.

Zhou ahead on hard. Ahead of him, Ricciardo on medium.

I'm actually going to run switch race.

Verstappen is managing the pace now.

Verstappen, let's go.

OK, energy usage is OK if you keep doing the K0.

DRS enabled. Tyres are coming. Move another lap, Lance.

Tsunoda ahead of Zhou, struggling on his soft tyres.

OK, well, Jim's happy with the tyres.

No transcript available

Lance, we think Tsunoda ahead is pitting.

There's a Fernando car behind, pressure from Sainz behind him.

Car behind Sainz, him and Fernando fighting.

So car ahead is Ricciardo again.

HPP button on. Ricciardo doesn't have DRS. We've got to get him, mate.

Hulkenberg ahead, graining on his mediums. Great job, mate. Come on!

The car ahead of Perez again on hard. Zhou, two in front of him on hard as well.

OK, Lance, pace is looking good to the front runners now. Settle into this rhythm.

Car behind Sainz, 1.6.

Car ahead, Zhou. Hard tyre.

So Zhou and Perez ahead now. Magnussen pits it.

Lance, you're faster than the leader. You've got to get Zhou. Let's do everything we can mate.

Strong work, mate. Perez ahead now.

Medium runners are pitting. Focus forward. Let's do this.

OK, Lance, the leader is pitting and will come out behind us. Sainz 2 behind hard. Perez 3 in front.

Verstappen has pitted. Albon has pitted ahead. Bottas is back in the pitlane.

Hamilton car ahead, hard tyre, 16 lap old. He's slow, he's got a problem.

So, Lance, the sparks you saw were Piastri with the puncture, so no drama. We're in good shape here. Sainz is three behind.

It's your P5 on the road, Lance.

OK, Lance, if you can prioritise exit 12 and 14, otherwise we're very happy. Sainz 3 behind, Perez fighting Ocon, 4 in front.

MFB turquoise, position 6.

The car ahead, Ocon, looking like he's struggling a bit on his medium. Sainz still three behind.

So, Lance, good job in 12. Less kerb in 14 and then we're good. Less kerb in 14 to help traction and then we're all good.

Can I ask balance and degradation feedback, please? Yeah, I'll do it because straight ball balance is OK.

Starting to lose a bit of front and rear grip. Yeah, loud and clear, mate. Keep pushing. You're doing a good job. The Ocon's pitted. It's a Perez car ahead. Six seconds.

Both safety car windows open. Both safety car windows open. Sainz still three behind. You're all good.

OK, Lance, you're P3 on the road. You've had one strike for track limits, but all good. I have. Oh, thank you. Radio paw, repeat message.

Tyres are dragging a bit. Yeah, copy that. Leclerc's pitting so you can have P2 on the road. Which axle? I don't know.

So you did a good job on slip slants. That's Leclerc behind. He was the leader. He's pitted and fitted hard tyres, so you've got that behind.

So, heads up, Lance Leclerc. We'll have a couple of laps of warm-up. Sainz is behind him, so don't let him follow him through.

So Leclerc has dropped two seconds behind with the warm-up.

28 to go. Do not lose time with Leclerc when his tyres come in.

So Leclerc still 2.4 with Sainz one behind him.

Front screening.

So last you go mid 3 and 3-5. Mid 3 and 3-5. How much aerobatics did he have? How much aerobatics did he have? Copy.

So, Lance, it's all good. Pace is still good. Keep doing what you're doing.

If it's a little bit of front lance it can come back so just keep doing what you're doing. Leclerc is still 2.3 behind.

So, Lance, Leclerc's introduced his tyres. Sainz has dropped back two seconds behind Leclerc, so don't lose time with Leclerc and Sainz is out of the picture for a bit. He's fighting Russell.

So Leclerc should have DRS. Three seconds behind him is Russell Verstappen fighting, so don't lose time with him and just settle back into your rhythm.

OK, Lance, how are the front tyres? Feedback?

I mean, I could keep driving at this pace, but, you know, you're that pretty.

Lance, feedback on debris exit turn 12. Let me know if you see any debris exit turn 12.

Yes, there is no brake. Copy, copy. Andy, I would... Lance, I would add half a step, half a step on that. Safety car, slacking, box this lap, box this lap. OK.

Delta positive. We are boxing, Lance. I'm going to add half a step.

Box, box, Lance, and I need tyre green R in the pitlane. Tyre green R in the pitlane.

Lance, it's going to be tight with Albon. You're blending, blending as a truck.

Blend, blend, push hard, blend, blend, blend, push hard.

That's Verstappen with you. That's Verstappen with you. Tie with others on track.

Okay, Albon car behind, Albon car behind.

Nico Ocon car ahead.

So there is a double yellow zone at turn 12. So there is a double yellow zone, turn 12. So follow your delta. It will be slower there. So you're going to be in your delta. You must be positive in that slower delta for turn 12. Double yellow.

So, Lance, big picture. Ahead of you, Ocon, six-lap-old hard. We think he was trying to one-stop, so he's going to try and go to the end. He's got six-lap-old tyres. Verstappen ahead of him, pitted same time as you, new hard. Ahead of him, Piastri, ten-lap-old hard, possibly trying to go to the end. And then Gasly, nine-lap-old hard.

At the moment, Lance, we're P7 on the road. We're going to need two or three laps of gentle introduction to get these tyres in and then we'll be good. At the end of this lap it will be 23 to go.

OK, you've just done 23 laps on the set, so same stint length. And just a reminder, you're going to have low tyre pressures, so just caution for the first few laps. Low tyre pressures.

We need good straight line braking and as much weaving as you can to bring the tyres in. It's going to be all about the tyre temp you can build now.

I'm going to out two, out two.

So Lance Albon behind you is on 11 lap hold hard. And then behind him he's got Russell, Sainz and Alonso, Fernando on 1 lap hold tyres. And Sargeant in P11 on 12 lap hold hard.

So Piastri at P4 has to stop again.

So, Piastri has to stop again and Norris is out, okay? So, big picture, your deg was very, very good. You were standout low. Safety car will be in this lap. So, your hard tyre was very good. Let's do that again and see where we can go.

So yeah, final reminder for me, lads, on your pressures, bottoming, first few laps warm-up, just take it easy and we'll go. Have a good stint.

Now we're going to run switch race. Run switch race and it'll be 22 laps to go, racing from the control line.

Two safety cars in the pitlane. Leclerc is controlling the pace.

OK, my plane's going.

There's a car behind Russell. He has a five second penalty. He's on same age hard tyres.

Use K0 lights.

OK, Lance, control the slip out of the last corner and turn 12. The tyres are still cold.

Okay, DRS enabled. Good job on the late press. Just control this grainy for 2-3 laps and we'll be good.

Coolant's winds picking up. Corner 5 tailwind.

Go ahead of Albon, the two Alpines.

Lance, we're happier with the tyres. We've got three cars ahead on older hard tyres. Let's do what we can with them.

You're good to push to the end, Lance.

Consider tall 10. Three cars ahead trying to go to the end. They've got older tyres. Let's go and get them.

Great job. Gasly car ahead.

Great work, Lance. Alpine's ahead fighting. Let's go and get them.

Gasly's 10 lap hold ahead of us.

Albon does not have DRS. Focus forward. Gasly 1.7.

30 laps to go.

OK, Lance, when Piastri pits, you will be P6, so anything you can do with these Alpines is important.

Car behind Russell. Four seconds. Eleven to go.

Gasly may have an issue, but do keep pushing him.

Car ahead, Ocon, six lap on the hard tyres. Let's go, mate. Great job.

9 to go, 9 to go.

Let's go get him.

8 to go, 8 to go.

Goddamnit, I've still got this lap!

Yes, he does, mate. Yes, he does.

You're two tenths quicker than Esteban. That's our race. Piastri will have to stop.

Piastri has pitted.

So you're P5, Esteban 2 in front, 7 to go.

So, Lance, Russell's two behind. He has a five-second penalty, but he's two behind. Push hard. Focus forward.

Half a second quicker than Esteban. Good job, mate. Come on.

OK, five to go, Lance. Russell 1.6, Esteban 1.3 in front.

Late pressing to 12. You can try late pressing to 12 to help with DRS.

Hey, Russell does not have DRS.

Come on, three to go, three to go. Keep pushing. Come on, three to go.

Alonso K0 is going to help you. Alonso K0 is going to help you. Do what you can with Ocon, come on.

OK, Russell has DRS, Russell has DRS, has DRS, and we're yellow turn 15, yellow turn 15, Tsunoda.

Track is clear.

MFB White, position 6. Urgent, MFB White, position 6.

Car behind Sainz. Russell has a five second penalty so just stay ahead of Sainz. That's the goal now. Two to go.

Get the DRS to defend. He's got a five-second penalty. You'll still be B5. Come on.

Sainz does not have DRS. It's going to be one to go after this, Lance.

I need an accelerator.

Go check it, Lance.

Strat 6, Lance. One to go, Strat 6. You will have early press but no press at all.

Sainz has the RS.

Late press to brake the DRS for Sainz.

Does not have DRS behind. Come on, this is the last lap.

You can early press out of 16. Sainz does have DRS. He has DRS, correction.

Early press, early press.

Yes, mate. P5. That's P5. Fantastic job. Brilliant.

L3, cool the brakes. That is an outstanding drive. Well done.

MFB blue, position 14. MFB blue, position 14. Take the pick-up.

HPP button off.

P19 to P5. That is fantastic work, Lance. Brilliant time and half a hard tyre. Well done.

Yeah, great race.

OK, Lance, just a heads up. We've got a yellow through turn 17. Could be something on the track, so just keep an eye. Exit of 16 through 17.

So, ahead of you is just Ocon, Perez, Leclerc, Verstappen, the race winner. Behind you Sainz, Hamilton, Russell, Fernando, Piastri. Piastri got fastest lap, so we've taken 10 points from McLaren today, so that's an excellent day's work. Well done.

There's a caution on the pit entry, Lance. We don't know what's going on. Yellow. Yellow's a caution.

So caution here, Lars. Just bring in nice and slow.

OK, Alonso, final reminder P0 before you jump out.
