Radio check. Yes, radio check loud and clear. OK.

Okay, just over three minutes till we fire up.

OK, so one minute till fire. We're still waiting for tyre information to come through.

Okay, so everyone on the medium, with the exception of Stroll, Sainz and Bottas on the hard, they're behind us. The only cars we don't know about are the Williams cars. That data hasn't come through for some reason. Albon is the car directly behind you, and then Sargeant at the back, but we don't know what they're on yet. I'll let you know shortly.

Both Williams on medium tyres. Albon behind medium. Pit limiter on.

Okay, mate. Clutch drop on target. Good job.

Last cars forming up.

P11. Stroll behind Ben Hulkenberg.

DRS enabled, Stroll 0.7 behind, then Sainz.

Gap behind 0.6.

Ok, so both cars behind. Stroll and Sainz on the hard tyre.

Okay mate, if you can, we're happy to push more through turn 2. Stroll being told to manage turn 9 for tyres.

Gap behind stable point 7.

Okay, mate, we're sticking with plan A at the moment. Plan A.

Gap behind point 8.

So, behind Stroll is a 2.2 second gap to Sainz. He's dropping back.

Gap behind 0.9. Gap in front 0.9.

Phase update when you can.

Okay, mate, we're very happy with front management. We can push more of those if you want.

Yeah, I'm having a problem with the rears.

OK, mate. Stroll behind doesn't have DRS. We could introduce a touch of lift and coast at turn 6. Just help the rears.

OK, I could try the same at turn 12 as well, just to help the rears.

Nine laps completed.

Okay, so we could consider going up on torque to help rear end mid-corner.

Stroll 0.8 behind.

Gap behind 0.8.

Gap behind 0.9.

Diff exit 8. Diff exit 8. That should help the rears on exits.

Gap behind 0.7 still.

First cars to box are Fernando and Piastri. Two stops.

Gap behind 0.5.

Gap behind point 8.

OK, mate. More cars starting to box now as well.

OK, mate. Gap behind 0.5.

Open modifier on the straight, please, Esteban.

Box, box, box, box.

Come in plan A, we went one turn down. Copy.

OK, I've got Magnussen at exit turn 1 now.

OK, cars behind Magnussen and Hulkenberg. Two seconds and then another one and a half. They're on old hard tyres.

Hamilton possible front wing damage.

OK, mate, so there are 42 laps remaining, including this one. Let's bring these tyres in gradually.

Okay, Pierre at box, we think he's going to come out behind us.

Okay, Pierre, about five seconds behind.

OK, so the car behind is Pierre, 4.2 seconds behind.

OK, mate. Three cars in front still need to stop. They'll come up behind us. That makes us effectively 12th at the moment. Gap behind 4.1.

Some other cars may stop again if going for two stops.

Tyre management good.

OK, it's got Bottas in that group of three cars ahead. He hasn't stopped yet. 20 lap hold hard.

Temperature and pressure stable.

Who's that? Okay, Tsunoda. Sorry, he was supposed to come out a good chunk in front of us. It must have been a slower start maybe.

So that was his first stop.

Car behind Stroll, two seconds, new hard tyres.

OK, Tsunoda 1.8 in front.

OK, Stroll the car behind 1.2.

Stroll 0.9 behind. He has DRS. Three seconds behind Stroll is Pierre. He's lapping 30.8.

Because of saving? No, he picked up some damage. Contact with Hamilton earlier in the race.

Okay, Stroll in front has to stop again. He's on his second set of hards.

It's going to be hard for us too.

Copy that, mate. Let's stick with it. 32 laps to go.

At the moment, Esteban, we are happy with what you're doing with tyres, so keep it up, please.

Okay, gap behind 3.2. Can I have a status update when you can, please?

Stay to zero. If I go quick, I slide. Okay, very good, thank you.

OK, Pierre's last lap, 30.5, 30.5.

OK, Ricciardo in front, 20 lap old hards. He had to stop early in the race, will probably have to stop again.

Okay, Pierre's last lap time 30.3. Main time loss turn 6-7.

Okay, mate, we're thinking plan C now, plan C. Open, modify down to turn 9, please.

Drop the flap. Already done. Box, box, opposite, Ricciardo. Box, box, opposite, Ricciardo in front.

Stay out. Copy that.

Okay, so for the moment we're going to revert to plan B. So we're going to continue as we are.

Gap behind to Pierre. 3.2, stable. He's got Sainz one second behind him.

Yeah, boxing time.

Third to stop.

Yes, mate, so that was his second stop. 25 laps to go at the end of this one. We have Sainz 3.7 behind. His last lap time 29.9.

Close with Norris. Pit exit.

Okay, Sainz behind 3.3. He's only used hard tyres. He needs to stop again.

We still think plan B is the best chance of getting some points. Stick with it.

So, 23 laps to go. Sainz 1.8 behind now. He has to stop again. Reminder.

Sainz 1.3 behind. Piastri and Fernando have just pitted and left the pitlane. They're 5 seconds and 10 seconds behind respectively. Fresh hearts.

Sainz one second behind.

Sainz one second behind, not quite in DRS. One and a half behind him, Piastri. He'll be going to the end, so we're racing Piastri.

Sainz 0.6 with DRS. He has Piastri right with him.

Fernando behind six seconds.

Camaro Sainz in front needs to stop again. Fernando four seconds behind. We're racing him.

KSV on tyres. We're happy with our wear estimates. Happy with your drive. Slow to zero.

Fernando behind three and a half, then Hamilton another two seconds.

18 laps to go.

And Fernando two seconds behind them.

Fernando, 1.1 behind.

Fernando, 0.7, 1.8 to Hamilton.

Hamilton, point five.

Behind Hamilton, 10 seconds to Albon.

Okay, mate, so when Sainz ahead pits again, which he has to do, that'll put us effectively P10.

Hamilton in front under investigation for a pitstop infringement, for info.

Okay, so Albon behind pitted. Cars behind are now Stroll and then Ricciardo. I believe they'll be going to the end. Stroll on a one-lap hold medium.

Stroll is 10 seconds behind. Pierre lapping high 129s for reference, 20 lap newer tyres.

Okay Esteban, we expect to be front limited on this set due to temperature not graining, so if the balance is okay we could push more 2 and 3.

13 laps to go.

OK, I'm at gap behind five seconds to Stroll and then four seconds behind him, Ricciardo. We're racing both of them.

11 laps to go. Gap behind 3.5.

Now we think that it's a quick honour.

Yeah, we still think we're on the right strategy, Esteban.

For reference, at the moment Pierre is lapping about half a second quicker, but he's 15 seconds behind.

Gap behind 2 seconds.

Yeah, I'm not going to be able to do very much. I know. Let's stick with it and see what happens. Still 10 laps to go. Stroll one second behind. Lapping 28.5.

Gap behind 0.4. Behind him, Ricciardo, three and a half seconds.

Ricciardo two seconds behind.

How many laps to go? Seven laps to go at the end of this one.

So, Ricardo 1.5 behind. 10 seconds behind him is Pierre.

OK, Ricciardo 0.6, gap behind him 10 seconds.

Six laps to go. Gap behind 9.5.

So, Pierre's last lap time 29.6, 29.6.

Four laps to go. Gap behind eight seconds.

Yeah, his last lap time 29.4. About 7 tenths a lap quicker at the moment.

Three laps to go.

Gap behind 6.5 seconds.

Two laps to go.

Gap behind 6 seconds.

PU13 position 2.

P13, position 2 when you can.

Last lap. Gap behind 5 seconds.

And that is the chequered flag. Snorrio 12, please. Snorrio 12.

Copy that. Ok mate, the first race in as long as I can remember with no retirements, no safety cars, nothing. So we come in P12 then. Copy, yeah. Yeah, we've got some work to do guys. I think this race, yeah, sums it up. It was tricky, it was tricky, but we'll get there.

Okay, mate, so well driven. Let's get some fluids on board.

And on the way round, I'll run you through the top 10. So Verstappen, 1. Leclerc, 2. Russell, 3. Perez, 4. Perez was slightly further up the road but had a 5 second penalty. Norris, 5. Piastri, 6. Fernando, 7. And then rounding out the top 10, Tsunoda, Hamilton and Stroll.

OK, so normal in-lap procedures at this point, please. We'll be coming in the pit entry and coming to a stop.

OK, mate, so when you come to a stop, normal switch-off procedures.

And just finally, I know it's been, it's felt like a long year, but thank you very much for all your efforts. Let's recoup and come back stronger next time. Yeah, very well said, mate. Thank you all for your efforts, yeah. It's been long and tough, but it will be worth it. Yes, it will. See you back in the office.
