Just come to the incident.

Yeah, I'm a little bit towards the end of the steer. OK, copy.

How's our pace compared to others?

Yeah, Norris, yeah, it's pretty good. Maybe a tenth down. He's gaining in the high speed, but we're gaining on the straights there.

Maybe a Norris at Dega looks a little bit worse.

Exit.

Your Perez are leaving behind.

Sorry, just out of that delta.

That's a big disadvantage now. Yeah, we're just going to think about the long game, Lewis. Need to do something different.

Can you take me through a little bit where I'm losing? We have HPP 11 position 4.

What lap was that?

So you're currently on lap 8 and there's a recovery vehicle on track now at turn 22.

So it's four tenths that we're losing, mainly, so that's from turn 4 to turn 10. Not dissimilar to qualifying. Everywhere else, yeah, gaining in the corners and a bit of straight line. Is that managing?

Difficult to know how much others are managing. Is that compared to George?

To George, it's pretty flat. Yeah, there's nothing really to put between you.

Those references were Alonso and Norris.

So you've got cars around you that have fitted the hard, obviously.

So just verify the warm-up on that time.

Just a little note that maybe braking at turn 22 you push out a little bit later.

Has the McLaren ahead stopped? Negative. Norris, same compound, same tyre life.

Yeah, good job on tyre tips. Just keep doing what you're doing.

Track looks like it should be clear.

So safety car is going to be in this lap, so we strap into 7 and use the overtake.

Tips are good.

Just think about your beaming. Strat 7. Strat 7. Yeah, strat 7 plus overtake.

Safety car at turn 26 now.

Safety car to 27.

So, Perez, 0.5 behind.

Verstappen, point 6. Perez, point 9.

DRS has been enabled.

Perez 0.9 behind.

Perez 0.6 behind.

Yeah, he's right behind me.

So it's Leclerc car behind at point 5.

Leclerc out 0.6 behind.

Sergio Piastri next car at point 6. Just remember to drink.

That's a hold to their pace.

Yeah, copy that Lewis. Just focus on the lifted coast. That does pay benefits.

So you've got 0.9 ahead, 0.5 behind.

They're killing us at high speeds.

Yeah, copy Lewis. GPS agrees.

Sergio Piastri at point 4.

0.7 behind Piastri.

You know, I think, probably...

Copy. Piastri at point 6 behind.

The only losses, Lewis, is the high speed and that straight line with DRS. You are strong. Turns 1-2.

Lewis, just stick around a little bit later on the overtake.

Gap to Piastri at point 6. If you can have HPP7 position 5 when you can.

Gap to Piastri at point 8. You're doing a great job with the energy management.

Gap to Piastri at point 6.

Gaps, Piastri, at 0.6.

Last message was garbled. Piastri at point 7. How's this pace for this tyre?

Matching Norris' time, same age time.

Approved for Alonso 33.8, George 33.7 on their hard tyres.

Piastri at point 6.

Piastri at point 5.

Stein's pulled Norris in. He was 33.8 last lap.

Gap to Piastri at point 8.

Norris, 33.6.

I have Piastri at point 7.

Norris was at 33.6.

Gap to Piastri at point 8.

Norris, 33.5.

Same lap time for Piastri.

Piastri at point 7.

Piastri 0.6.

So, Norris, 33.5 last lap. Piastri, same as you.

Really get hooked.

And a gap to Piastri at a point 4. Now where it looks OK, so no problem there.

Yeah, he's got me this time. Tires are jumping up.

It gives a tyre update. You can do it verbally.

It's OK. It's definitely dropping after a few throws here.

Gap 0.8, Piastri, 0.8.

So Lewis, there will be 14 laps remaining when you cross the line. We are thinking of going soft to the end. Let us know what you think.

Yeah, I agree. Thank you, mate.

Uh-oh, I've got a tight wing out.

It's OK Lewis, so box-box.

So, watch that white line on entry.

So, reset your switches. You'll be all clear on exit.

So we've got 14 laps, Lewis. We're going to hunt them down. We just don't need to kill the tyres doing it.

So, outlap normal. You've got 14 laps. Let's just make it the quickest stint possible.

It's 8 seconds to Biermann.

So, Birmingham doing 33.0, 29 laps. Big tyre offset.

Just remember, fastest in 14 laps.

So, expect a lap time around 31.6.

I have checked the battery in error.

Okay, Norris in pits. Slow stop for him. I reckon he'll still be ahead, but Norris.

There's a gap ahead of 1.5.

That's impressive, dude. I see him.

You're fast everywhere else loose, particularly that one-hand final corner.

So, for info, Birmingham's doing a 32.7. It's OBC.

It's only six seconds to him now.

So far, so good.

You've got pace elsewhere, Lewis, and yeah, this could come at the end.

Is anyone dropping off?

They're not really loose. The hard looks are pretty resilient.

Close this position, we're going to stop.

Yeah, we've still got an opportunity with Biermann. Just depends if Norris can cut through him.

So, nine laps remaining. It's five seconds to Bielen. Last lap was a 32.7.

It's purple middle sector there, Lewis.

So, BMW 32.7.

B-Mobil offset 32.3.

Thank you.

There will be four laps remaining.

Are we catching or not?

Yeah, maybe a little bit this lap.

Last lap. So yeah, high-speed losses but you're gaining back through the rest of the lap.

So we'll get a bit closer this time. It'll be Strat 5 when you cross the line.

Strat mode 5. Two laps remain.

Autorisation away.

Well done, Lewis. So, yeah, P9. But, yeah, it was a really great drive there. We had to roll the dice, but, yeah, it didn't come our way.

And if we can have HVP1 position 12, 1 position 12 and pick up rubber.

If you can pop it into strat mode 14 for us.

Parc fermé, that high speed. Parc fermé, that high speed. Yeah, you're gaining everywhere else. You're gaining everywhere else. Pull a little bit back around the rest of the lap. You're looking really strong at the low speed. So it's 1-2 at 27.

I think that turn 27 was really good against Piastri, just didn't have a chance against him.
