Climb straight up.

OK, radio check, Alex.

Yep, copy. Copy that. So, Bottas is 5 ahead on an outlap. Zhou is 6 behind outlap. Bottas on the hard tyre.

No transcript available

So that's a bit of a cute car straight out of the pitlane. So maybe some activity at pit exit. Go switch to go out.

Okay, brakes are in good shape. It's just Bottas ahead to open the lap. He's 7 ahead on the hard tyre.

Gap at 5 or more will be good. Gap at 8 currently is fine. Still one or two cars leaving the pitlane. Go push.

Okay, close it up. That'll be plus 10 drop in rear. Five seconds back is Leclerc about to push. We're quite under fat here.

Leclerc in 3.

And Tsunoda 4, Zhou 5. By how much do you think? It's very lazy, the car, I would say two turns. But I'll get some laps in, don't worry. George pushing in 2. So this tyre will be the high-fueller set. So just need to be mindful of that front right. It's definitely going to grain. It was grainy on the out lap.

Piastri on a push. Piastri on a push in 3, Sainz in 7. Sorry, I'm braking, so... Yeah, OK, just a bite.

Sightseeing 3.

Okay, we'll go to pit and add some front wing.

Okay, so we're happy to pit. There'll be stuff in the box. Keep it running. We'll go plus two if you're happy. Or do you want to go more?

Ricciardo pushing in full.

Everyone else in sync around you?

So I'll pit this lap. Stop in box, plus two on the front wing.

It felt quite green, the track, like I was grainy already on the outlap, so I'm not sure how much it's draining me or not. Perfect, currently clear behind.

Got Logan in sync behind on the first run of the soft.

First car pushing. Ocon in 7. Gasly in 13. Both pushing.

Good stuff on the brakes at 6 and 9. Ocon in 3, Gasly in 9.

Gasly at 3.

Let's just try and get some front ten back in the car. Get placed by Stroll at 9, otherwise it would be quiet.

Stroll pushing in 5. Pull toggle is on. Confirm. Stroll in 3.

OK, once Stroll's gone, I throw behind. Ricciardo potentially will be slow again. He's on double cool.

No threat behind. Go push.

OK, red flag. Signs go off at 2-3.

Safety car, positive on the delta. No overtaking. Box. This lap.

Over and out.

Keep the engine on or turn off? Yeah, just switch off for now and let go back to P2. I'll let you know when to restart.

Shall I let Logan in?

Yeah, exact.

Just tell him I'll... Yeah, that's passed on, yeah. Copy that. Yeah, so you're due to go just behind the Hassell. Yeah, look, we'll just move in front.

That's 45 seconds. Good start.

Last 30 seconds.

I have 50.

Concerned leaving the box at tyres. Concerned leaving the box at tyres. Relative this time. Relative this time. I've got one second behind you.

I suspect it will be similar as you open the lap again to the previous one.

Decent stuff on the brakes. Verstappen still tucked up behind you. Used medium. Go switch to go out.

OK, so four ahead to over the lap. Should be all low fuel for at least five seconds.

Okay, gap ahead of 4 to Logan. It's now 3.

Switch is good.

Gap at 2.3. 3.5.

Double yellow ahead. 1-2, 1-2. Double yellow.

So Hulkenberg is going to hit the wall.

What's going on today?

Please stop the brakes, I can't.

So Piastri's got a scrubbed medium on. I'm not entirely sure whether they will do consecutive or what they're doing.

So, as it stands now, it will go green in about 30 seconds. We're looking at one timed on this potentially live stop. Pit the medium, run to the end.

Just turn 1, you think Fernando is going to do?

The McLaren behind you has got a new soft on. I've got green in 5.

The cars behind you look like they were on low fuel yesterday, I can't say.

No transcript available

Outlap boys, happy to manage more at turn 9.

DCS stops on the brakes at 6.9.

Gap ahead to Norris at 10. I think he's low fuel.

OK, switch to go out.

Cleared to open the lap. I'll head to Norris. You've got Alonso tucked up around you. He's also on a used medium.

Try for 6 second gap. Currently at 4 to Alonso. No throttle behind, no back top behind you. Gap at 4 to Alonso. Go push.

Okay, let's plan, let's keep it cool for now, try and get a recharge, but likely pitting.

Gap behind is 7 to Piastri.

Carix, I think we need to crack on with the consent laps, try and get some understanding on the high field, on where we are. So we'll box this lap, live stop for the medium, so just leave the flap as it is, just to try and help that front right. You happy? Yeah, OK.

It's clear behind. Blue 9, position 11. Blue 9, position 11. We are pitting this lap.

I set mode 7, mode 7.

Should be clear pit exit. Happy to push on the outlap but manage it. 9. George, 5 back off in sec. Gap 5 ahead to Alonso.

So it's not DRS, George behind four seconds.

He's just thrilled, I bet he was.

OK, radio, this is Paul. The shift is too fast! Copy.

It's maybe a bit like Vegas with a few low fuel and high fuel runners, so the shift will be green 8 position 10 when you can.

We have six laps to go.

Okay, go mode 8 for one lap, mode 8.

And target lap below 28.

Back to mode 7. Four laps to go.

So it'll be three laps to go. Be back on tyres out of five when you can.

We're going away slowly, lap by lap. I can't stay very strong. Copy. Very happy with the pace.

So there's two laps remaining, including this one. I'm going to have to push more in 9.

Two red balls ahead on cool-ups.

I'm starting the last lap now.

Happy to push to exit 5. Just watch Magnussen.

OK, copy. I'm just going to call PU call over at 5.

Okay, so FPU calling. Trying to drop temp on the tyres as much as we can. Going to the grid for a start.

That's a big two burnouts of BPF. Target 37.

Okay, so it'll be the opposite side to Logan.

It's okay if it's too much of an issue.

Okay, I need to lead about 5-10 seconds before we do the pit entry. We'll practice the pit entry. Livestock, Logan's only eight ahead of you at the minute.

It's relatively quiet ahead, so we should have a good run into the pit entry.

I've just got Verstappen behind. Perez 5 behind him. So Perez is probably trying to build a gap to Verstappen.

Gap at 12 to Logan is not bad. Got Stroll two seconds behind.

All right, fuck, I'm good to hold this position. I think Perez is managing a gap to Verstappen.

Just give you some space out of 14 to push the pit entry from Stroll.

OK, gap at 4 to Stroll. Switches are good, so practice pit entry, lifestop, engine off.
