Twelve minutes, twelve.

Nine minutes, nine to go.

Eight minutes, eight.

And radio check, R3. Copy. OK, six and a half minutes to go.

Six minutes to go. Six.

OK, Valtteri, so track temp is still at 19 degrees and wind looks to still be the same as on last grid. Copy.

Five minutes, five to go.

Four minutes four.

Okay, Valtteri, so you can run through the procedures. You should already be in mode RS with the pit limiter on. Three minutes. After the fire-up, when you put the car down, you'll need a static bite point. After the pull-away, you can switch off the pit limiter at pole position and then go to mode formation lap. Burnouts will be confirmed in the last corner. Copy.

And Valtteri, in terms of tyres, most of the cars on medium. We have Hamilton in P10 on hard. Further back, Zhou Piastri on hard. And Stroll Tsunoda from the very back on soft. Copy.

Two minutes to go. Two minutes.

1 minute 40 seconds.

One minute to go. One minute.

30 seconds, 30...

OK, Valtteri, your last drop was on target. We confirm four burnouts. Four burnouts. And then do not engage neutral. Drop it.

Okay, Valtteri, can you reverse and get moving again?

Okay, Alonso, out of the way, can you go? Yeah. Copy, yeah.

Yeah, he's just spun in front of me and someone hit me from the back. Fuck yeah. Okay, confirm hit from the back as well. Question. Yes. Okay, copy. So far, tyres okay. We're struggling to assess the front wing. Can you feel something?

Hard to say yet, it's so low grip. Copy, copy.

Okay, so VSC, mode SC.

OK, Valtteri, we'll box this lap. Box, box. Copy, box.

OK, Valtteri, we have to do a nose change.

Okay, Valtteri, so obviously we replaced the front wing. Also, we expect some damage to the diffuser. VSC ending. Mode race. Mode race.

DRS is enabled.

First car ahead, Alonso, 16 seconds, and there's currently a yellow in turn 12.

Okay, that's a full safety car now. Mode SC. Follow the delta. Our window is closed.

So that's Norris in the wall in the runoff after turn 12.

Track should be clear but keep an eye for possible debris.

Yeah, he's getting out of the car now. Copy.

Okay, that's 10 seconds to the pack ahead.

So, Valtteri, for reference, the five cars ahead of you will also be on hard at the restart.

Okay, Audrey, suggest high steering inputs to warm up those fronts.

And weaving on the back straight when you get there.

Yeah, I think the car is quite soon off the track.

OK, copy. Could be next lap though.

We suggest to be more aggressive on the front tyres.

Did you see damage to the diffuser? Yes, but it looks to be iso-balanced, so affecting the whole floor, roughly 10 points.

Safety car will be in this lap. Copy. So, cars ahead of you are Alonso, Sainz, Perez, Stroll.

All on hard. The race leader is Verstappen and he's now in turn 10.

And it seems Norris lost the car over bumps outside of turn 11. Suggests to stay to the left-hand side of turn 11.

Safety car is now in turn 14.

Overtake is available for the restart.

Sock 5. Sock 5. Try to close the gap to get DRS.

Okay, Valtteri, that was Tsunoda pitting from his softs.

Cars ahead of three seconds ahead.

I can't keep up this fast ahead. I've got no grip. Can't be Ricciardo if the other ahead is struggling more.

And Valtteri, right now, we're faster than Alonso in all the corners. We just lose from not having DRS.

Cars on medium are struggling now.

Alonso still three seconds ahead. Now up to do lift and coast for his engine temperatures.

OK, now Hulkenberg is also pitted.

Ricciardo is dropping back. He's about to be taken by Alonso.

Sock 6. Sock 6.

I had a tug under brake.

Magnussen also pitted. He's now six, seven seconds behind you.

Suggest brake bounce one step rearwards.

Sargeant pits into Hart. He's four seconds behind.

I've got some grinding on the front. Copy, copy. Go to high speed, drop diff, high speed, high speed. I can't, there's no rear in the high speed. Copy, copy.

Suggest to use overtake to cancel clip 14.

Suggested SOC is 7.

Car behind is now Piastri. 0.9 seconds.

Suggest BWMIG3. BWMIG3, Piastri ahead, Sargeant behind.

Suggest EB7.

That's just diff entry one step down.

Hulkenberg has DRS.

My rear is not grating as well.

Copy, understood. Try to work through it. We'd like another seven laps.

Thank you for watching and please don't forget to like, share, comment and subscribe!

OK, we'll cut this lap. Box, box, box. Box.

Mode RS.

You're clear of pit exit.

OK, Martin, we will need management to turn 4, 6, 10 and 11. Copy.

Sock 6. Sock 6.

OK, Valtteri, there's 25 laps to go. If we can manage until the tyres are stabilised, then we should be able to push.

OK, Valtteri, that's another safety car. Good timing. Yep, as always.

So that's for the debris we expect offline turn 12.

Mode SC plus.

Please adjust a gentle level of weaving out the fronts.

The back is out. Just six seconds ahead of you.

And you can go to mode SC now. SC. Stupid!

Safety car will be in this lap. The race leader is Leclerc. Ahead of you, Hamilton, Hulkenberg on new hard and then Ricciardo on 10 lap old hard.

OK, safety car now approaching turn 14. Leclerc is backing up the pack. Suggest mode race. Overtake is available.

Car ahead, Ricciardo, 1.4 seconds.

DRS enabled.

Sock 5, Sock 5, let's try to close on Ricciardo.

Thank you, Valtteri. We suggest to protect the front right a bit more. Turn 12. Braking.

Suggest to back off on entry turn 1. Try to carry more apex speed turn 1.

Tsunoda behind is now starting to gain. He's 1.3 seconds behind.

OK, Tsunoda now within DRS. Suggest stock 6 or 7.

We need sock 7. Sock 7.

No overtake.

Twelve laps to go. Twelve.

Sock 6. Sock 6.

Oil button. Oil button.

That was five laps to go.

Tsunoda four seconds ahead. He seems to have an issue. Tsunoda slowly ahead.

Three laps to go. Three.

Sock 4.

This will be the last lap. Thanks a lot.

Okay, that's the chequered flag. Mode N.

OK, Balci, thanks for hanging in there. It was a tough one, defined by corner 1, lap 1.

Yay, fuck, got that lucky there. Wow, that was a long one.

It's just that no grip, man.

Yeah, I think we'll have to assess the damage properly when we get back in. Yeah, copy.

So in the end we had Verstappen winning the race from Leclerc and Perez, then Ocon, Stroll, Sainz, Hamilton, Russell, Alonso and Piastri finished out the points.

And Zhou finished in P15, just said.

OK, Valtteri, so box-box.

And when you stop the car, we'll need the full switch-off procedure.
