Stand on the grid.

Radio check.

George, radio check. Overthrottle is at 34. Possible for lap 1.

And it's five minutes before mission lap.

Just let me know once the... after a few laps where turn 6 has fallen out of a diff, if it's mid or high speed. It will be mid, that is the plan. And that's three minutes to formation lap. That's why I was calling for the magic practice.

And two minutes.

90 seconds of fire up.

So everyone in the top 10 is on used soft.

One minute.

Forty-five seconds.

Byte point find, 30 seconds.

15 seconds.

Five.

Clutch was on target.

And happy for you to use the magic.

Let me know when P.U. temps.

Keep working the tyres.

Happy on PU10.

So, tyres are looking good. Just have a little bit of PU cooling into turn 14.

And then we'll have coasting down from turn 14 exit.

And then four burnouts, starting at the pitlane gantry. Final burnout, P8 Piastri.

Last car approaching the back of the grid. Checking me.

And as a reminder, it will be DRS next lap.

DRS enabled.

Green 3, position 4, urgent.

Expecting a few more D rates now with that change.

And nice job on the overtake.

Introduce management turn 12.

And George, we will need third gear, turn 12. Yeah, A-firm, he has DRS. Sorry, turn 1-2, third gear.

So George, let's just settle now into this tyre management.

So, Leclerc does not have DRS.

Stay right in the middle of the way. Don't overbrake.

So Leclerc does have DRS.

Green 3, position 1.

So, George, it's turn 12, where we need to be introducing more tyres. Does Leclerc have the RS or not? Just hovering right on the edge. Just focus on the importance of me.

Perez now a car behind 1.2.

We'll have a green 3 switch change over the line, Perez 1.4.

So Perez does not have DRS. We have green 3, position 3.

So now we've got a bit of breathing room. Let's get on top of this management.

Perez 1.3 behind, no DRS. Turn 12, looking better that last lap.

Currently still on plan.

Gap 1.2 behind. Still happy. Turn 12 looking good, mate.

So, we've got a yellow flag, turn 4. First cars have started to do the pitstops now.

Still that yellow flag, turn 4. We are in both windows.

Perez at 1.0 does not have downforce. Right on the cusp. That car is moving now, turn 4.

Think about plan A minus one.

Plan A minus one, please pardon.

Plan A minus one. Think about it. Box. Box.

Magic on. Diff mid 3. This will be outlap normal.

It's going to be busy on exit, so watch the white line on pit exit. I've got a Valtteri car alongside. Should be just behind.

Front to nowhere.

Copy that. Just a warm-up slope at the moment. So we've got Verstappen in the pitlane now.

Correction, that was Perez. Close on exit.

Ricciardo ahead doing 38.9.

And this will be target minus one.

Perez behind 0.5 with DRS.

No transcript available

How do I get the front to lock in?

What a guy over these temperatures! P.A.

So, George, we're going to need more lift and coast for these PU temps.

George, we suggest pushing brake balance forwards to work those front surfaces. Leclerc, 0.9 just in DRS.

0.9 to Leclerc. He has DRS.

Guys, you need to advise me what to do here. I'm trying to fight but I've got all of this up. You're overheating.

Tried my best but totally stuck. Yeah, I think I'm going to need more grip for this PU temp.

Once we can get this PU temp under control, we can start charging more.

So it might get better next lap. It's coming to us.

Leclerc 0.8 with DRS. Green 7, position 8. Green 7, position 8.

Sainz now a car behind.

Sainz behind 0.8 with DRS. Got another one!

So, George, we need to avoid using overtake, then D-rate into the final corner. That is causing an issue.

Leclerc behind now, 1.5.

George, we need more management. 12 for better. 13. Stan, we're fighting with one arm behind our back at the moment.

So, Leclerc still all 1.2.

George, can you just feedback on the front axle now? In a bit.

George, we'll be able to give you more energy if we can increase the lift in coast.

So if we can get up to another 100 metres of lifting coast in the lap, it can give you more energy.

Are you happy for me to take lower gears now to increase energy? Negative. Negative.

And we are still target minus one.

So, Leclerc behind 1.2. If you update your tyre switch, please.

Green 10 switch coming up.

Green 10, position 8. Green 10, position 8. Leclerc at 1.3 now.

Plus 0.4, plus 0.3 for next lap.

Understood.

So if we prioritise at Lifting Coast turn 4 and 8 for energy.

So we are still target minus one. You'll be starting lap 30. Sorry, lap 29 next time round.

So we're happy to use more of this tyre now.

Green default 6-8. Green default 6-8 for more energy.

Green 7, position 4.

Consider higher foot pressures.

Box, box, box, box.

We have Alonso alongside. Alonso just gone clear.

I have understeer at turn 5.

Here's a pit stop down.

No transcript available

Currently 1.5 safe.

And green, default 1-7.

So Leclerc has stayed out.

Safe to Leclerc. 2.5 seconds now.

24 laps to the end of this one.

So, George, we need to keep on top of L and C, 4 and 8 for energy. Now we've got this clear out.

Currently safe to Leclerc, 3.8.

So, Leclerc in the pitlane now. Expected to be four seconds behind.

Lap survived him. 21 at the end of this lap.

7-0 on turn 12. Will, feedback.

So, we are happy. Turn 12 looks good to us.

Leclerc has hit the tyres hard. First lap 34.1 for him.

We're happy how you brought these tyres in.

So, Leclerc still pushing quite hard on those tyres. We're happy to start pushing it a little bit more now.

Leclerc doing 34.8. Sainz ahead to 35.1.

So, Leclerc now at 1.3.

18 laps remaining.

George, we can drop the Lifting Coast turns 1 and 14 for tyres. We can drop that.

George, we're seeing Leclerc going flat in turn 12.

Gap of the DRS there was 1.1.

He had no reason to brake! Does not have DRS.

Now Leclerc has DRS. And we'll keep the lifted coast turn 8.

Leclerc has DRS.

Leclerc has DRS.

Leclerc has DRS.

Leclerc has DRS.

So it'll be 10 laps remaining into this one. We're not hearing any radio messages from you, just engine noise.

Norris up behind, currently doing 35.3, 35.4.

I need to increase lift and coast at 100 metres.

Why? For energy reasons whilst we're in traffic.

So yeah, it's 4 and 8 that we needed.

So, George, we're happy with that level of lift at coast.

Seven laps remaining.

George, if we can keep on top of that, lift to coast 4 and 8 for me. I understand on the tyres.

Negative. Lifting close until we do understeer.

4-0 shift.

So we've got five laps remaining. If we don't do the lifting coast, we'll need to switch off ACS. That's the trade-off. Just tell me what to do, mate. I don't want to do lifting coast. I can't hear you at this rate. Understood.

That'll be green 7, position 8. Green 7, position 8.

So that's drop management, 6-7-12.

Strat 5. Strat 5. Three laps remaining.

One more lap.

OK, sir. P5 in the end.

Difficult afternoon. A lot to learn there. Need to look at that data and understand what happened with those temps. That was quite hampering in the end.

We have 3-1 position 12.

Yeah, really challenging afternoon. That first spin and a half was... Yeah, very, very tough. We'll have Strat 14. Just pick up rubber where you can.

Thank you for watching.

We're attempting an issue on both cars. Yeah, any film.
