OK, Pierre, start feedback. The drop was good.

So, reminder, we'd like two burnouts out of turn 11.

Thank you for that. So the drop was good and the feeding was a bit aggressive on that start.

So once we get towards the end of the lap we'll do a rolling bite point learn in turn 17 and then two burnouts in turn 18.

Okay, Pierre, thanks for that. So we'll do two short burnouts out of 18. On the left-hand side, we can go recharge off before the burnouts.

Last car on the grid.

And red flag, red flag. So go recharge on.

What's up there? So we've got Albon and Ricciardo off out of turn 4.

So we're boxing this lap.

So, we've got word Albon. Albon is okay, so we'll box this lap, we'll line up in the pitlane.

Copy. I want some feedback when I get back in the pitlane about the race start. Yep, no problem.

Okay, so we'll box this lap, we'll line up in the pitlane and then we can switch off.

Ok, let's discuss strategies straight away. Yep, we're already on that mate, so we'll have a chat when you get here.

I'm good to jump out, right?

Radio check.

Copy. I will be very crucial to have good information on tyre.

When do you want me to go Scenario 1? On the grid or out of the chicane before burnouts?

When do you want me to go to scenario 1?

Copy. If you can remind me that one, because it's different than standard.

So even the compound is different, the tyre procedure is the same.

Yeah, I'll take it for the first sector.

Yeah, let me know the tyres are wrong when you get them in.

Let's be honest. It's going to be a good one. It's going to be a long race. Let's keep the communication going all the race.

Do you want to buy a point at the pitlane or are you good?

And rolling. Rolling 100 points, same as before. Rolling 5 points, same as before. Before getting out of grip. Before getting out of grip.

You want the rolling bite points before getting on the grid as well.

And a reminder, we'd like two burnouts and then we can do some weaving for the fronts.

Okay, so as you approach the chicane, we'll do a rolling bite point learn in 17, and then we'd like two burnouts coming out of 18, at which point we can go scenario 1 for the start.

And the last car on the grid.

Gap to Stroll ahead 0.5. Magnussen behind 0.4. Magnussen on medium.

So gap to Stroll is 0.9.

And let's look after these tyres. We need to go status 3.

And gap to stroll 1.4.

So, car ahead is Esteban, gap is 1.0, Magnussen 0.6 behind.

Ok, Pierre, we need to increase management. Look after these tyres. Turn 8 is a place to save.

So gap ahead is 1.4, Magnussen behind at 0.5.

So, gap to Magnussen 1.3. Sargeant behind 0.5. He's on the hard tyre.

And the tyres have stabilised, so keep an eye on them.

OK, Pierre, we've got exit 6 available. Exit 6.

So, Esteban, last lap 40.9.

Okay, Perez, you got the top left modifier available. Top left.

And we're thinking plan B. We'll inspect the car.

Okay, Pierre, if we can unlatch that modifier.

Ok, Pierre, so let's introduce these tyres gently. We want status 3.

Okay, Pierre, so we suggest not using the back left for sector 1. You'll get more stability without using the back left. You can go up on entry on mid.

OK, Pierre, so we're in P17. Stroll ahead in P14 on 7, that will mediums is doing 38.8.

You've got Esteban now the car ahead on a new set of hards.

Ok, Pierre, you're doing a good job with the tyres. I appreciate it's difficult out there, but keep it up. 5.7 to Esteban.

And Esteban, last lap 38.7.

OK, Pierre, there's some time to gain in turn 14, mid-corner.

Okay, Pierre, you've got the top left modifier available. Top left is available. Verstappen, the car behind, 4.2. And how's the balance?

I have everything, oversteer and understeer.

And box, Pierre, box.

And Alonso is doing a 35.8 on the hard tyre. He's in P6.

And we've got a yellow flag at turn 8.

Ok, Pierre, as you've seen, Sargeant went off at turn 9, so there could be some gravel on the track.

So, gap to Alonso behind 8.4.

So, gap for Alonso behind 7.5. He'll catch us in about six laps.

And we have nine laps remaining. Nine laps remaining.

So Esteban is the car ahead. He's 6.1 seconds up the road. Gap to Alonso behind is 5.8.

So, gap to Esteban ahead 6.2, Alonso behind 4.8.

So Esteban's last lap was a 36.9. We have some time to gain turn 6 mid-corner and exit.

Ok, Pierre, this is the final lap. This is the final lap.

Ok, Pierre, we'll go scenario 10. Scenario 10 we can stay. Recharge off. Recharge off. And that is the chequered flag. Tough race out there today. We did pick up a chunk of damage, so we'll go through that with you later, but well managed on the tyres. But yeah, appreciate. It wasn't very nice out there, so we'll regroup and we'll go again in China.

And if we can have recharge off.

So Verstappen won the race from Perez and then Sainz in P3 and it was Leclerc P4 and Norris, Alonso and Russell, Piastri in P8, Hamilton and then Tsunoda in P10. We finished P16 with Esteban in P15 ahead.

I think the damage for sure made it very tough.

It was very difficult out there, so...

Didn't help, but yeah, I think overall a very, very tough race.

Really stick together, really get our head down in the line very deeply.

Because, yeah, we're definitely not where we should be, so...

Please keep working, guys. There's a lot to learn, but I know you can do it.

Just got to work hard, get these upgrades on the car and...

Try to execute everything perfectly. But I know you can do it. Yep, thanks mate.

Yeah, we'll keep pushing. We're not where we want to be, but we'll keep going.
