Radio check.

Radio check, Lando.

Lando, tyre info. Stroll, Hamilton, Tsunoda and Sarge in style and soft. Magnussen has a hard on. Everybody else starts medium.

Switch on pitlane braking.

Go to second for go.

That's perfect.

And Lando, that was on target.

Okay Lando, no full load from now and if possible big lifts into 14 and 16.

Lando will be purple, C6, position 1 before the burnouts. C6, position 1.

And aim for a little bit hotter on the tyres.

Last car approaching the grid.

Strat 13 if you want.

And DRS has been enabled.

Lando, with the starting tyres and the order, currently no change to plan. No change to plan.

The car behind Oscar is Russell, then Leclerc, then Sainz.

And it looks like Alonso is pushing their tyres a lot harder than us. This is good.

And Lando, suggest right-hand toggle for turn 14 to look after the rears.

And Lando, how are the tyres and who are we racing? I think who we expect for now. Hard to know on the Ferrari.

And Lando, how are the tyres relative to the sprint? I think the same ish for now.

OK, Lando, a bit of a picture for you. Behind is Alonso, Oscar, Russell, Leclerc, Sainz. Sainz is 6.4. Then you've got Stroll at 10. We think this is plan A, target plus 5.

And Lando suggests left-hand paddle turn 9. Left-hand paddle turn 9.

So, Lando, three cars have pitted. The first was Hulkenberg who was in P10. Doesn't affect our race at the moment. Behind Oscar is now Leclerc and full safety car window is open. Please confirm.

And Lando, more cars have pitted from Stroll who is P9. Still doesn't affect our race. Alonso is 4.5 and holding the cars up behind him.

So, Lando, Alonso now 5.8, Sainz 10.4. There's then a gap to Gasly, 20.7. The soft tyre does not look great. People have pitted off it. High deck.

Minor. White H6 position 8. White H6 position 8 and Alonso has just pitted.

Alonso and Russell are behind Lewis and Leclerc. 6.4.

And Lando, this probably means more like target lap. Probably more like target lap.

Suggest RNG 9. RNG 9.

Yeah, pacing is good, but pacing is wrong. Let's maximise our race. Let's not get too high up on the people who are boxed.

We're in a good position.

And, Lando, we agree the pace looks good. Last lap Leclerc did a 41.9. Sainz did a 42.6. We think we're racing them.

Okay, Lando, further update. Alonso and Russell very close together. The gap is 29. We might let them go.

And Lando, just be careful of brake pressure turn 6. Go on. No, just potentially a little bit of R3. But OK for now.

Okay, understood. It's likely we're just trying to extend. For your information, Alonso, 27.8.

Lando, just a bit of a question for you. Alonso's 27.3. If we pitted ahead of him and gave him free air, the Ferraris might just extend, I'm not sure. Or we'd have to come out behind Alonso and pass him later.

Alonso on a bad tyre. We're racing Ferrari now.

We understand that. We're just trying to think how best to beat them. Is it to have clean air ahead of Alonso or extend similar to them?

I think I extended a bit there. Understood.

Verstappen is the car behind. Four seconds. Be careful. Peak brake pressure. Turn 6 over the bump. Leclerc and Sainz are incentivised to go long. Leclerc might even try the one stop.

Sainz was 16 behind. He has just pitted.

Fernando Alonso, 26.2. Verstappen is two behind. Do you think we'll get the pace delta we saw? A little bit, but not much, I don't think.

Lando, question, how are the tyres? Gap to Alonso 24.4, Russell 27.1. Would you be happy behind one car? Would you be happy behind two cars? I think I'd overtake both.

Understood. And tyre update, please. Yeah, they're hanging on. I mean, they're getting a little bit worse, but obviously not bad.

Yellow flags. From here to turn 11, Bottas is stopped. Both safety car windows are open. Please confirm.

Yeah, there's debris on track. They need to do the safety car and VSC. A lot of debris on track.

You're fucking joking me. Tell me about it. Oh, I fucking knew it!

Box correct? I think we got a box anyway, yeah?

Lando, thoughts on balance? I'm happy mate. OK, I'll take one out for the tyre.

Still double yellow flags here.

And confirming we are boxed this lap. Yep, land the pitlane.

Brakes on when you come to a stop.

Launch pad, launch pad, launch pad.

Clear exit. We will be behind Perez and the car behind you is Alonso, then Leclerc, then Russell, then Oscar, then Sainz.

We think the main car in our race is Leclerc. He fitted a hard tyre.

I still double yellow flags.

And safety car deployed. Safety car deployed.

And ladder minor. Purple C2, position 6. Purple C2, position 6.

Compound at delta.

And keep on the delta, on the delta, please.

Red Bulls are pity.

I see a spot in place.

So, Lando, car behind is Leclerc, then Perez.

Pretty much everyone will try and go to the end on this time.

And Lando, Hiroshi thinks what you did in stint 1 is good.

I suggest forwards bow during the safety car. Forward bow during the safety car.

And Lando, we're going to suggest you strat 6 for the restart. Strat 6 for the restart.

Okay, Lando, another bit of update for you then. So, behind Leclerc on a hard, then Perez hard, Sainz hard, Alonso fitted a soft, then Russell hard, and then Oscar behind him is on a hard. So, we think everyone will try and get to the end on a hard apart from Alonso.

And the safety car will be in this lap. The safety car will be in this lap.

We suggest using overtake into turn 1 at the restart.

And Lando, think about brake balance. Think about brake balance.

Safety car is in turn 14.

And safety car deployed. Safety car deployed. Stay out. Stay out.

This is currently for yellow flags after turn 6. Tsunoda off track there. And Magnussen is crawling back to the pits. He's currently just round turn 13.

So Lando, yellow flags where you are now and potential debris on the outside of turn 14, not on the racing line.

Lando, at the restart, you can do push and hold after the final corner. It's relatively free to do it there.

And could also be Debris entry to turn 14 as well.

Positions behind you now is still Leclerc, Perez, then Alonso, then Sainz, Russell and Oscar. There is double yellow flags from turn 15 to turn 16 at the moment.

And the safety car is in this lap. Safety car in this lap. Think about brake balance.

And DRS has been enabled.

Suggest Strat 13, Strat 13, Leclerc 1.8, Verstappen 1.5.

Lando, your Dagon at first was one of the best. Anything you can do to protect the rears though is still worth doing.

And Lando, for low speed understeer, suggest engine braking. No, thank you. Understood.

And Lando, opportunity, the wider line, turn 3, might be better for pace and rears.

Okay, Lando, the car behind you now is Perez 5.4. If there was a safety car, we would lose two places, two Perez and Leclerc. Therefore, we would be keen to take it. What do you think?

Probably after lap 44 or something, yes.

And Lando, suggest yellow G3. Yellow G3 for late understeer.

OK, I'm done. Perez, 3.8.

Ok, Lando, settle back in. Perez doing 39.5.

And Lando, just another reminder, peak brake pressure turn 6 over the bump. Perez 4.3.

And Lando suggests do not use right hand toggle turn 6.

Ok, Lando, be careful with that. Six laps to go after this one. Full concentration.

And Lando, just confirming, if there was a safety car, we would stay out by default. Confirm.

Has the wind changed a bit? I feel like it has.

Check for radio. Directionally similar. Potentially calm down a little bit.

Suggest blue B5. Blue B5. Full concentration.

Lando, the only thing we're getting worried about is locking up, so be conservative turn 6 braking. Yeah, I'm killed. I regret it.

Lando, there's possible debris on the racing line on the back straight.

They've declared it slippery here because there is debris down.

And this is the last lap.

Good effort, mate. B2. ATS button press and leave the recharge off. Leave the recharge off. Well done. Good race.

Woo-woo-woo!

I told you we would get passed by the Ferraris. Well done. Great race. Don't know how, but fantastic. Well deserved. Thank you very much. Yeah, well done. I wish I'd shook hands on that bit.

Yeah, I was going to say 45 seconds. Actually, I was going to say 35 seconds, but I was wrong, so...

And Lando, driver of the day. Oh my god!

Thank you so much. I didn't know I had so many Chinese supporters, but it's incredible, so thank you very much.

Oh, and I'll have to say it, but happy birthday mum for yesterday. I guess this one was for you. Love you mum.

Do I go into the pitlane or not? Why have you not told me this? Everyone's gone onto the grid. Apologies. Should have gone to the grid, my bad. So I suggest stopping in front of the FI garage and then go and walk out to the grid. I've got this, I think. And if you can keep moving, please.

Do not reverse, mate, do not reverse. Just drive forwards, drive forwards. I didn't reverse.

No transcript available

I see what you did there.

Yes, Will. You should be on the grid. My bad. Concentrate, Will. Concentrate. Breathe, Will.

All right, all right.
