Radio check. Radio check is good.

So, aero balance, we're just doing the standard set for race compound.

And then we've made an exit change to diff exit, speaking with Dom. So that'll be for what you guys discussed in the office. Otherwise fairly happy with balance, so let's just see how we do out there and then we know we've got tools to play with if we need more stability.

Copy. Yeah, just keep me updated on the diff as we start picking up the pace just to make sure it's working as expected. Yep, we'll make sure it's doing what we think it should be doing. Track temp is fairly stable to how we finish laps to grid. Not expecting it to increase at all for the race.

Just a few reminders, once the engine is fired up, we'll go pitlane speed limiter on and we'll do a static bite point learn before doing a start from the grid.

And then on the formation lap, we'll work the tyres. But the burnout procedure at the end of the lap, we want two burnouts before turn 13. Then we'll do a rolling bite point learn before turn 14. And then three burnouts on the left-hand side of the grid after turn 14.

And we've got five minutes to go.

So we've got four minutes to go at the minute.

Just a reminder, we want recharge on for the start. But alright, mate. So, we know that the race can be crazy around here. Let's stay focused and we'll see what we can do. Keep in touch. We'll stay active on comms for strategy. And let's try and get something out of this.

Remind me the right temperature. Limit. Yep, standby.

Info from Gabe. Paddle drops are all good. So we'd like to keep the limits at 450, both axles. So that's a little bit down on the front from where we were at the start of the season. Copy.

So we've got three minutes to go.

So, on tyres, Ricardo behind you is on soft. We've got Fernando and Hulkenberg on hard.

And then Zhou is also on the hard tyre. Rest of the cars are on mediums.

Two minutes to go. Drops that you've been doing have been good, so Gabe's happy.

Let's have a good calm on the tyres, especially the first few laps. Yep, this first stint, let's check in regularly and we'll stay active on calms and strategy.

Once the engine is fired up, we'll go pitlane speed limiter on, we'll do a static white point learning, and then we'll do the launch off the grid once we're good to go.

So that's one minute remaining.

That's 30 seconds to go.

Fifteen seconds to go.

Five seconds.

Okay, Pierre, so start feedback drop was 2% deep.

Okay, Pierre, so no change to the burnouts, so we'd like two before 13, then a rolling bite point learn before 14, and then three on the left-hand side of the grid.

And we can go recharge off.

Last car on the grid.

So DRS enabled. DRS enabled.

So, gap to Hulkenberg 0.4, Ricciardo behind 0.4.

And gap to Hulkenberg 0.6. Gap to Ricciardo 0.6.

And the battery is full. Overtake available.

So Verstappen ahead may have an issue.

So, Verstappen slowing down.

So gap to Hulkenberg 0.4. He does not have DRS.

And gap to Hulkenberg 0.6.

So, Ricciardo behind has stopped for hard.

And we're currently in P16. How are the tyres?

I'm stuck behind Hulkenberg. I can't pass, I'm not in the straight. Run with DRS. Okay, copy that.

And how's the balance so far?

Get understeer here.

And we've got mid 5 available. Mid 5.

So, Hulkenberg ahead, struggling with the tyres.

Try to get past.

So, gap to Hulkenberg 0.4.

Gap to Hulkenberg 0.6. Overtake is available.

And gap to Hulkenberg 0.4.

So gap to Hulkenberg ahead 0.6. Leclerc is now the car behind 1.3. He's on the hard tyre.

And we're still thinking plan B. Plan B. How are the tyres?

Yeah, the front left starts to get damaged. I can't get close in the straight.

OK, copy that.

Gap to Hulkenberg 0.3. Overtake available.

So Russell is now the car behind. He's 1.7 seconds back.

Just try to keep watching that front left if you can.

Pierre, you're doing a good job so far.

NPR, best chance to get Hulkenberg to stick to plan B, so keep watching that front left.

And there's some time to gain braking for 3 and 11.

And gap to Hulkenberg 0.8. Russell behind 0.7. How are the tyres?

This lap is not made to be put behind him.

And Pierre, we still think plan B is the priority. Do you think you can make plan B work?

We have a choice.

So Pierre, you're doing a good job. We'd like to keep trying. We'd like to try and make plan B work.

So, gap to Russell ahead at 0.8. Stroll is the car behind at 0.3.

Gap to Stroll is 0.4.

Okay, VSC, VSC, VSC window open, recharge on, recharge on.

And how's the front wing?

I have understeer at turn 5.

So we've got double yellow turn 10, double yellow.

Is it going to be a red flag?

So we don't think it'll go red. Hamilton came off.

Okay, Piers, we'd like to box unless the VSC clears. So we're boxing unless this clears.

Box, Pierre, box.

So, the car behind is Zhou.

Okay Pierre, so in terms of tyre management, happy to repeat what we did on the previous stint.

We're still on plan B, so let's keep an eye on these tyres.

What's the situation? Condition?

So, the situation currently, Esteban had the box with a brake issue, so he's down in P17. We are in P15. Zhou, the car ahead.

You've got Bottas, the car behind, he's 16 seconds back.

So Hulkenberg who stopped with us, he is seven seconds up the road. He's on the medium tyre.

And we think it's unlikely he'll make it to the end on that.

So, all cars on hard except for Hulkenberg and Alonso who stopped under the VSC.

Okay, Pierre, and if we can increase management turn 5. My turn to steer. Thank you.

Like, what do I do? I need to catch up. So we need to go mid 5? Can we go mid 5?

So Zhou ahead on the 13 lap old hards.

So let's just bring these tyres in and once they've stabilised we can start to reduce status.

Ok, Pierre, so gap to Zhou ahead is 2.0. His last lap was a 23.5.

Okay, Pierre, we're happy to push a bit more through turn 12.

So gap to Joe ahead 1.7. His last lap a 23.4.

OK, Pierre, how is the feeling on these tyres?

Some understeer. I skate with them. Everything ok.

Okay, you're slowly catching Zhou.

So let's just keep things sensible. We're still on plan B. You can go down on high speed if needed.

And drink reminder. 1.3 to Zhou.

So Zhou's last lap was a 23.2.

Gap to GO 1.1.

Okay, Pierre, we still need management in turn 5. If you could increase... I need to get power statement done up there for management otherwise the tyres will blast. So, gap to Zhou 0.9.

We go SOC 5, SOC 5.

So, gap to Joe 1.2. You do have overtake available.

So, gap to Zhou is 1.2.

So Zhou, last lap 23.06. Gap is 1.2.

Gap to Joe 1.0.

And Zhou starting to get some graining. Gap 0.9.

So gap is 0.9, so focus on exit of 6.

Gap to Zhou, 0.7.

Okay, pair gap is 0.7. We do want to try and get Zhou, but we also need to keep an eye on these tyres.

You want me to slow down?

We're happy to stay with Zhou. Give me three laps. Let's manage the gap. Let me race.

So gap to Joe 0.7.

And gap to Zhou, 0.8.

Gap to Zhou, 0.6.

Gap to Zhou, 0.7.

Gap here and we're currently P13, still on plan B.

Gap to Zhou, 0.6.

We're happy to stay in DRS, just keep it sensible with that front left.

Okay, Pierre, if we can go fail Bravo 0-5 off. That's Bravo 0-5 off.

And gap to Zhou at 0.7.

And gap to Zhou 0.6.

OK, Pierre. So, Zhou had a long stop, so he's a long way back now. We're currently in P10.

So Esteban is fighting with Bottas in his DRS. They're lapping in the mid 23s.

And they're getting the leaders coming through now. Car behind is Tsunoda. Just left the pits. He's 4.3 seconds back.

Behind 1.0 DRF. So Tsunoda is the car behind you. 4.8 seconds. He's on the hard tyre. Don't miss this.

Once he gets a lap in, Pierre, I'll tell you his pace.

Front tyres damaged.

Okay, Perez, so you've got the back right on the corners for the front left, back right for right-hand corners.

Stroll just left the pits. He's the car behind.

I've got too much braking, guys. Copy that.

Okay, Pierre, if you let Stroll by, do you think you can ride his DRS for a couple laps?

No, no chance.

So, gap to Stroll 0.5.

So, Tsunoda behind at a 21.9.

And gap control 1.1. Do you think you can do one more lap at this pace?

Okay, I can't hit that face. Copy. Gap to Tsunoda behind 1.0.

There's the bright corner, it's a lot of fun to steer.

Okay, copy that Pierre.

Captain Tsunoda behind 0.5. Captain Tsunoda behind 0.5.

And gap to Tsunoda, 1.2.

And we've got the top left... I don't have tyres! I don't have tyres! We've got the top left modifier available. Top left available.

Check if I have a puncture.

Alright, pressures look good to us.

I have a problem. The front left. Copy that. Pressure is looking good.

My steering is burnt!

Okay, DRS will be boxing this lap. We're going to box this lap.

So, will box be your box?

Now we've got SOC 6 available. We've got Sainz is the car just past.

And Bottas now, the car behind.

So, Bottas is the car behind. We are racing him. He's on 5 lap old hards.

And then Leclerc is the car behind Bottas.

Why did we wait that long?

Okay, Pierre, we were trying to let the leaders get through so we didn't lose time being lapped. Yep, I lost ten seconds.

And we've got a fresh set of hards on, so let's just keep things sensible, but we're going to the end.

What's the pace of Leclerc?

So Leclerc last 20.8.

Okay Pierre, so we're currently P14. Esteban stopped. He is out on a new set of hards.

Bottas, the car behind, 1.8 seconds back.

I can't turn again. Can you take the front wing? Something's broken, like, I can't turn.

So we went up on aerobalance in that last stop. We can't see any issues with the car.

So we've got torque 3 available. Torque 3 available.

So Bottas' last lap was a 22.9.

And he's just been lapped by Norris. So Norris now the car behind. 1.6 second gap.

And we've got SOC 6 available. SOC 6.

If we can get PU2 position 1. PU2 position 1.

So, gap to Bottas 1.5.

So, gap to Norris 1.1. Gap to Bottas behind 2.1.

And gap to Bottas behind 2.3.

Bottas' last lap was a 21.6.

OK, Pierre.

So, gap to Bottas behind is 2.7. We've received a five second penalty for crossing the line on pit exit.

So let's keep pushing, mate. Let's try and increase this gap.

Bottas's lap. I cannot fucking see it. Copy that. Couple of minutes. Bottas's tyres are five laps older than yours.

And he's doing a 21.6.

And we've got some time to gain mid-corner turn 9.

So, gap to Bottas increasing 3.0.

He's going to get blues for Piastri very shortly.

And we have eight laps to go after this one. Eight laps after this one.

Okay, Pierre, gap to Bottas 3.1 and it goes without saying we're status zero.

You're doing a good job, Pierre. Let's keep pushing.

So Piastri now the car behind. Gap is four seconds, seven laps to go.

Piastri's last lap was at 20.7.

So, gap to Piastri, 3.2.

Bottas, last lap 21.6.

So we're doing a great job, mate. Let's keep pushing.

So, gap to Piastri is 2.4. Bottas is 4.8 behind Piastri.

Bottas, last lap 22.0.

Gap to Piastri 1.2.

Bottas is currently six seconds behind Piastri.

So let's not hold Piastri up. He's got a six and a half second gap to Bottas.

So, gap to Bottas is now six seconds. His last lap was a 21.8.

So gap to Piastri 0.9. His previous lap was a 20.2.

Bottas behind at a 22.0. He's 6.7 back.

So there's two laps remaining, two laps remaining.

And we have SOC 1 available. Piastri is 2.0 ahead, Bottas 7.2 behind.

BSC, BSC. We'll go recharge on. Recharge on. There's an incident. Turn 6.

So let's keep to the left-hand side of the track.

Should we overtake the medical or not?

So just no overtaking. Stay behind, Piastri. We are 7 seconds off the limit.

Oh my god! Is he okay?

We're getting that info.

Yeah, we have heard that he is okay.

So this is the final lap.

Gap to Bottas behind 5.8. So just stay on your delta.

So, gap to Bottas 6.6.

6.3

We'll go scenario 10, scenario 10. We can keep recharge off. And that is the chequered flag.

So we just need to be careful around the incident. There are personnel on track. Is this a scenario? Scenario 10. Scenario 10. And we need recharge off.

And Russell is out of the car. Copy. So that's P13 for us, mate. Difficult race, but some very good laps at the end.

So we'll review the timings for that second stop but yeah most most cars did a two-stop. So Sainz won the race ahead of Leclerc and Norris and then it's Piastri, Perez, Alonso, Stroll, P7, Tsunoda in eighth, Hulkenberg and Magnussen rounding out the points. Esteban behind in P16, Bottas immediately behind you and Joe is P15 and then ahead of you you've got Ricciardo and Albon P11.

How far did we finish from Hulkenberg?

We'll get that info.

About 17-18 seconds from Hulkenberg. It's a bit mixed up at the end with the VSC, but we can go back. Very likely an earlier stop would have put us closer to Ricciardo, but may not have changed the outcome. But plenty for us to review this week.

We need to review where we lost all that time to Hulkenberg because...

We're not far from him at the start.

Yep, we'll go through all the data and we'll come back next week. We've got to check something. The lap Leclerc passed me. Felt like I completely lost the front wing, so there is some very, very strange things going on in traffic. The first set of hard was an absolute shocker, so me too.

Copy that mate, we'll take a good look.

Thanks for this weekend. We'll keep on pushing. We're going to move up, don't worry.

Yeah, I'm clear of that. Let's keep pushing, guys. Still not very fun out there, but we'll work and improve.
