OK, Lance. Radio check.

Yep.

OK, that's four and a half minutes to start the formation lap.

OK Lance, radio check for the pitwall.

Yep, line are clear. Yeah, that's all good. So, we've got the tyres in. Everyone around you is on the medium. You've got Albon and Magnussen, they're in P13 and 15 on the soft. Perez and Russell should expect you on the hard. They're P16, 17. Everyone else on the medium. So all the cars around you are medium and there's some cars further back on soft and hard.

That's 30 seconds.

That's ten seconds.

OK, so we can make a bit of space. We want some high-speed weaving if possible before turn 1.

Lance, that was 12 under that start, 12 under. So making a bit of space and then high-speed breathing all the way to turn 1.

Make a bit of space exit of one and again high-speed weaving all the way to turn 2.

We need a 50m lift for turn 2 and then we can lean on tyres all the way through turn 2 and 3.

I'm pushing hard now, so high speed weaving and then fast through turn 4, high speed weaving before turn 5. I'm pushing through 5 as well.

Let's have a lift into 6 and then a stop to make a bit of space in 6 and 7. We want to push all the way to turn 11 now. So we're making space now and then push all the way to turn 11.

Let's get some aggressive high speed weaving now before turn 12. 50m lift and a brake. And then a low speed scrubbing as well, Lance, out of 12. Low speed scrubbing now.

It'll be three burnouts, Lance. Three burnouts, short and crisp.

Remember, run switch race. Switches are good.

And that's the last car approaching now.

Albon behind his soft lap.

Can I just recommend brake balance plus seven? Brake balance plus seven. We can get to saving when possible.

DRS detection is where you are now. You'll be active on the main straight.

We can try strat 10. Strat 10. That will help us into turn 1.

Lance, if you can, suggest more lift and coast in turn 12 to help turn 14 exit.

OK, two cars behind have stopped, so everything now Lance.

Stay out. Stay out.

OK, that's with this free air, we think we can stay out for a bit longer, so let's get back in the management when you can.

Okay, Lance, so now we're thinking plan A plus 5. Plan A plus 5. You're now on lap 9. So back into the lift in case. Bit more turn 3 management as well, please.

Tsunoda behind is extending as well.

Strat 7. Strat 7. So those cars that pitted early, we're just going to build an advantage to them later on. It will come back to us.

This pace is good, Lance. This pace is really good.

I'm feeling overheating on the front.

Fronts are overheating as well, Lance, so lifting coast is going to help.

That's it. Let's get MFB PU7 position 4. MFB PU7 position 4.

That's everything now. Everything now in sector 2.

OK, lads. Cancel that. Stay out. Stay out. As you were to saving again.

Can I just read MFB, TU7, position 4 please? MFB, TU7, position 4.

This is a good stint. This is really helping our tyre advantage later on. How's the balance?

That lap was really bad.

Copy that, Lance. More lift in coast if you can, especially turn 12.

Let me know about the balance when you can.

Yes, give me some understeer, man.

Okay, and box this lap. Box this lap.

Tire green, dry R. We will all be racing cars at the pit exit.

OK, so it will be Magnussen and Albon, their eight-lap hold hards. So it will be racing cars but exact.

So these cars are under 7 or 8 lap old hard tyres.

Strat 11. Strat 11. It's important to try and get these positions. Let's use the tyre advantage while we can.

Albon ahead is eight laps older hard.

So, Albon's been asked to increase lifting coasts. He's vulnerable.

He pushed me off the tractor. Yeah, I can't believe we saw that. He should. Get a penalty though. Yeah, we'll talk about it.

So, back in your rhythm now. Let's get brake balance plus two if you can.

Albon's already lost DRS. Back into the lifted coast. Bit of management turn 3 if you can.

Okay, so this is lap 20. Now on lap 20, we're thinking plan A plus three. It'll be somewhere around there. Plan A plus three.

Lance's tyres are almost at the peak now, so it's important to keep up the turn 3 management. A bit more lift in turn 6 as well.

So, Hulkenberg ahead of Fernando. He stopped very early and he's trying to go and do a hard, hard race, so we might have to pass him on track. He's doing 25.3. He's quite slow.

So let's just watch turn 14 traction. Watch turn 14 traction. Don't push too hard until Fernando's got Hulkenberg and then we can go.

Can I try? At some point?

Come in for a discussion.

Hang on a minute.

Go a lot faster.

Yeah, all the stud lads were talking about it, just to save your tyres while you're waiting.

We can use press and hold energy on the main straight.

So ahead of Fernando is Gasly who pitted on lap 1. He's on the hard tyre.

Okay, Gasly pitted. So, back in a bit of management, Lance, when you can.

So, for now, we just want to build a tyre delta to cause a round. There's no threat from behind for now, so let's just keep the management up.

You are now on lap 30. This is lap 30.

There are some cars behind that pitted again. Still 39 laps to go, so that's very early. So we're just looking at building a tyre delta now.

So we need MFB, PU3, position 2. MFB, PU3, position 2.

Lance, the gap is only 1.7 seconds. Just consider opening it up a little bit. If we're not getting DRS, we might just be harming the tyre.

So, Lance, you're now on lap 34. We're thinking plan A plus 5. Plan A plus 5.

Subtitling by SUBS Amara.org

So Perez car behind us, DRS. Let's not lose too much time with him. He's 14 lap newer tyre. Tsunoda is three seconds behind Perez. We are racing him.

So yeah, let's not lose too much time for Perez. This is good. It's Tsunoda three seconds back. He's trying to one-stop the race. So anything we can do to hurt Tsunoda's stint now is good.

That's a lead. MFB, PU3, position 1. MFB, PU3, position 1.

Car behind Russell is 20 lap new tyre.

Let's not lose too much time with Russell. He's got DRS. How's the balance been this stint, Lance? Better.

Still too much understeer. Still too much understeer.

So, Tsunoda is 1.6 back. He's trying to one-stop, so we really need to disrupt this thing. So, we'll stay out for a few laps. It's important he does not get past.

You're now on lap 39.

We recommend brake balance minus three.

Consider left toggle for turn 5.

So, just for the understeer, Lance, we would recommend brake balance minus two. There's nothing we can do, mate. It's in the car. Copy.

Let's go to Strat 7. Strat 7. If you did this stint again, Lance, how much more flat would you want? How many more compounds? I don't know, a lot.

Yeah, I get him out.

We need strat 7 when you can please. Strat 7.

We need MFA grey default 1-0, OK. MFA grey default 1-0, OK.

I don't know why you're not pitting me.

So that's everything this lap. Everything this lap now. We're just building a tyre advantage. We'll need to come through some cars again.

Can I ask for more box this lap? Box this lap.

Okay, so we won't be fighting anyone at the exit. There will be quite a few cars racing. We need to push on the first lap just so we don't get a blue flag from the race leader. So, cars ahead of your racing, that's Albon and Hulkenberg.

Albon lap is 16 not hard.

Hulkenberg has the same tyre age as Albon.

Press and hold is available if you need.

23 laps to go, Lance. 23 to go.

You can use press and hold again.

So, Ricciardo five seconds ahead. Same tyre age as Hulkenberg.

So, it's 22 to go. Let's get some lift and coast for the next five laps. Just manage the pressures.

We'll have to get two more cars for a point. Two more cars, so Ricciardo, free ahead, stopped quite early.

How's this management?

Brake.

Nice, let's get MF8 off. MF8 off.

So, Lance, this level of tyre savings is okay for now. Keep up the lift in coast, that's good.

Folks, we've got two more cars to get. You've got Ricciardo. He's 17 laps older. Hard tyre.

And then Tsunoda is ahead. He stopped very early as well. We'll just get him at the end.

OK, so it should be 18 to go. 18 to go. Happy for you to experiment in turn 3. We'll have you lifting coast. Just watch traction slip turn 6 and 9.

That's when you need it. You can press and hold energy into turn 1 and into turn 2. You can do both.

Good job. Back at you, River.

Tsunoda is nine seconds ahead. He's got the same tyre age as Ricciardo.

And it's 15 laps to go. 15 laps to go.

Just think a bit more about turn 3 management, Lance. Let's just experiment there.

OK, that's 13 to go. 13 to go.

Go for it. Go for it. What's up?

Okay, so just to confirm, so you're P11, Fernando's P10, Tsunoda's P9, Tsunoda's six seconds ahead now.

I was just saying, whatever happened, that last lap in turn 13, check this out.

Copy, we'll check.

So that's content of mid 5, mid 5.

So it's ten to go. Tsunoda is now five foot one ahead, just ahead of Fernando. He is starting to struggle.

Should be nine laps to go, Lance.

Lance, consider right toggle for turn 13.

It should be seven to go, Lance. Seven to go.

Lance, Fernando will give you DRS. Go past him into turn 1 and then we need to go and get Tsunoda, OK?

So, five to go. Everything we can to get Tsunoda now, otherwise we'll swap back at the end of the race.

Well, I won't pass Fernando, but OK.

So remember, Lance, when you get there, it's early press energy. Exit turn 14 and exit turn 1. Use it early.

So, three laps to go. You are P10, but we'll have to swap back if we don't get him.

Okay, so two to go, two laps to go.

Just remember, early press and hold out the final corner and out of turn 1.

This is the final lap.

So if you don't get him now, you need to switch back and pull the line. Fernando's four seconds behind you, there's no pressure behind.

I suggest you drop back and let Fernando pass. He's four seconds back.

Okay, that's the flag. That is the flag.

Okay, Lance, so we just need a couple of switches. Run switch warm up, please. Run switch warm up. Then it's MFB, PU1, position 12.

MFB P1 position 12.

Steady on the way, Lance. Steady on the way, just for the temperatures, please.

That's just P0, my tyres are out.
