We're due a check.

Loud and clear from the garage as well. Copy.

Formation and lap procedure the same. Target temps, burnouts, etc.

Five minutes.

So, go green in three minutes time and when it does so, the safety car will pull off to the side and then Max will control the pace just like a normal formation lap, head round and you'll line up in the same position as you were for the start of the race, so P9.

90 seconds. Fire up. Think about EB Cat 2 after a few laps in the race. Copy.

Pitlane in the middle.

What tyres are people on? One minute.

We haven't got the information yet. We've got Piastri on medium.

A lot so on soft.

So we will not do 5.5 this time. 30 seconds.

Fifty seconds.

Just make sure we stick with the cars ahead.

So, both cars behind are on softs.

And you're doing a good job on tyres.

And we'll have coasting down to have a big lift into 16, coasting down turn 16 entry.

And it will be three burnouts, starting at the overhead gantry. Final burnout will be P14 Gasly.

Last car approaching the back of the grid.

So, one octave behind of point six.

DRS will be enabled this lap.

DRS enabled.

There'll be no gaps, Tsunoda to Lewis. 1.8 currently.

Good job. So Lewis now 2.3 ahead in a DRS train.

Let me know if that's righty.

AFL, we all do.

And we are happy to go strat 13.

Gap ahead of Lewis. 1.4 seconds currently. We've got a green 1 switch change coming up.

Green 1, position 8.

So most of the soft runners now have pitted.

Steering is starting to feel a bit strange. A lot of vibrations.

AFM, we're looking at the data. Alonso is dropping on his soft now. Current doing 38.5, 38.6.

And we're seeing high deg on all the medium runners up ahead of us.

Still on target.

So it could be some people coming in this lap.

That's Norris in the pitlane.

So, just make sure we get these...

We get these tyres to where we need to.

B-Bal offset plus one.

So Lewis will let you by.

Lewis is struggling with a lot of understeer.

OK, my tyres are good.

So Lewis is going to let you by into 16.

And that's Alonso in the pits now as well.

George, we're seeing some drivers getting picked up for track limits. Turn 14.

So Leclerc ahead currently 38.6. We'll just close that gap down.

So Norris is one and a half seconds behind Lewis. He's on a hard tyre doing 36.8 last lap.

That's Sainz and Perez in the pitlane.

So you've got Verstappen in the pitlane, could be close on exit.

So, car behind now is Norris, point three.

So, George, we're happy to start using this tyre a bit more now.

Car behind now, Perez.

Just feedback on tyres.

Lots of sand and overheating.

Sit on that lean on the outside of the kerb.

Yeah, A-firm surface temp's not overly hot.

Track time has dropped to 34.5 now.

So car behind now is Sainz at two seconds and we're seeing wind speed picking up another 5 kph but same direction.

George, we just need to be pushing Magnussen out of our window. He's currently doing 39.

I can't push it. iPhone, iPhone.

This pace is still looking good though. Magnussen's only just inside our window.

Why did Magnussen manoeuvre past me straight away on the outlap?

That's because he's at the front of a group of six cars that we'd be dropping out behind.

Let's not lose power for one lap. Is that a box? A box?

So likely to be close with Magnussen on exit.

So, clear. Everyone pitted.

George, we are on plan B now.

Plan B from before race or plan B from the red flag?

That's plan B from the red flag.

I didn't get the message from Red Plank. Let me know compared to pre-race. Is it A or B from pre-race?

So that would be a plan A from pre-race.

Sorry, can I have time?

So we're working on target lap time. Will we target plus five in terms of the stop lap?

So Alonso 14 seconds ahead. He's currently in 37.6, 37.4.

So we're happy with what you're doing on the tyres.

Out of control. Traffic on exit. Leclerc and Norris exiting pitlane.

Need an earlier heads up for when people are bolting.

No transcript available

So Leclerc and Norris ahead. We are going to the end.

Lewis behind. Last lap was a 36.1.

George, if you can, let's hang on to these two ahead.

We are racing them.

Alonso 12 seconds ahead. He's doing 37.4s currently.

Twenty-three laps remaining.

Last lap and I have understeer.

Radio quality is terrible, George. Yeah, lots of turbulence down this factory. I almost slammed on my head.

George, still have scope in diff high speed to come up.

And front limited. Understood.

How is entry? Turn 11. Diff entry.

So we recommend coming down, diff entry, turn 11.

Piastri has pitted.

Traffic to exit.

And we are currently target plus two.

Just update me on balance for the final stint. Everything's great.

Box, box, pit confirm.

And we'll be outlap critical. Let's make sure we work these tyres, get them working straight away.

Laps remaining. 16 laps remaining.

Be clear on exit.

Do you want to go for a fastest lap attempt or not?

Let's not lose race time here. Racing replaces.

So 15 laps remaining.

So we've got Alonso, Piastri, 10 seconds up the road doing 35.5.

Alonso, last lap 36.0.

13 laps remaining. I want to say 35.8.

Now we see more scoped push on these tyres.

Well, I put my target against the...

In about five laps time. Lap 46, 47.

Piastri is currently sat in Alonso's DRS.

And double yellow turn 9, Sargeant.

So, Sergeant reversing onto track, turn 9. He's back on track.

There's gravel on exit turn 9.

Eleven laps remaining.

Alonso, 36.1. Piastri just staying inside his DRS at the moment.

Lowest in 34.1 behind.

Bouncing. Very fun. So we seek scope for you to reduce the management. Let's push these tyres more.

Lewis, last lap 34.3.

Eight laps remaining.

Piastri has 0.7 ahead to Alonso.

Six laps remaining.

Piastri has 1.1 ahead to Alonso.

So Piastri has DRS.

Piastri has one second ahead to Alonso.

Gap ahead of Piastri, 1.3.

Yes, she has DRS.

Three... oh, it's still going.

Gap ahead of Piastri, 1.0 now.

Come here, Piastri, 1.1. Come here, Piastri, 1.1.

Piastri has DRS.

Enjoy mate. Final lap.

Okay, that's P7. Good job this afternoon. Pace looked good. It looked like at the end there Alonso had a couple of issues with his throttle. He seemed to fix himself for the final lap.

Yeah, no, I think good job today. We know where the car is at the moment, what to do, but I think we did a well-managed race today. Yeah, good job. Let's keep going. Good job, well done.

I have green 1, position 12.

Strat 14.

And into the pitlane.
