OK, Lance, radio check. Yeah. OK, it's all good. So it's five minutes to the start of the formation lap, and Lance, you can target the start target in the car, OK? Target that.

OK, so it's two and a half minutes to the formation lap.

So, everyone's on the medium. Ricciardo in P12 is on the soft and then you've got Sainz and Zhou on the hard. So, Sainz is in P7, Zhou is in P18. So, one on the soft and that's Ricciardo and then Zhou behind, several cars behind, is on hard. Everyone else medium.

That's 40 seconds.

And that's 20 seconds.

OK, so you can make space in 1. We're going to lean on tyres all the way, if we can, until turn 5. So make a good space in turn 1 and then go fast up the hill.

Start was 4 under. Target minus 4.

So, let's get some good speed down to turn 2. We need a full lift at turn 2. Full lift at turn 2.

Then it's high speed weaving up to turn 5. You do a 100m lift and then a good stop. Leaning on tyres through 5, 6, 7 if you can.

Weaving down to turn 8. You can make space in turn 8. We want to push through 9 and 10.

So, making space now. We want to push through 9 and 10.

High speed weaving and then push through turn 10. It will be a 50m lift before turn 12.

Lean on tyres through 12 and 13. All the way back to 15 if you can.

We'll need any high-speed weaving you can do after turn 15.

Let's get one good stop before the final corner. Just one good stop.

And while you're waiting you can do some weaving, Lance. Do some weaving and scrubbing. It'll be five burnouts out the final corner. So get them done early. So straightaway out the final corner, five burnouts, short and crisp.

So, just run to the trace.

Ricciardo had a soft tyre. Hulkenberg behind medium.

You can try and late press if you need in 2018.

That's freaking late press, late energy press.

So K0 now will be good.

Once the racing has calmed down, Lance, suggest brake balance plus two. Brake balance plus two.

He's not happy to race Ricciardo. Getting past him is good, but just not to think about saving in sector 2 where it's rough.

So that's last lap was deleted for track limits at turn 4. So that's one lap deleted, turn 4, one strike.

OK, we're going straight on speed.

Copy that, Lance. Now on lap 5. Tyres are still coming up. Be at one more lap and then they'll be at the peak.

Let's get another brake balance plus two.

So, Lance, we're past the beat pool temp now. How are the tyres? We'll take some feedback when you come. Yeah, the tyres are overheating a bit, but

OK, so Hulkenberg now 1.3 back. Sliding in turn 10 is on the limit. Both cars very similar sliding speeds for turn 10 the limit.

Lance 3 suggests torque 11. If you need more stability, you can try torque 11.

Lance, we can do another brake balance forwards 1. Brake balance plus 1. We've only got energy for late energy press. So once you're in 7th gear you can press energy, not earlier than that.

Lance Hulkenberg is in the pitlane. We think that's too early.

This is now lap 9.

So, Lance, quite a few cars have stopped. That's obviously quite early. We're happy with that, so stay on plan for now.

Lance, rear pressures are stabilised now, so now's a good time for a bit more tyre feedback. Yeah, pretty bad rear deck. Also front. And very bad straight line speed.

Let's get strat 7.

We're now on lap 10. This is lap 10.

Lance, if the car's neutral in turn 12, can you consider the right toggle? Consider right toggle turn 12 if it's neutral.

So this is now lap 12. I've got a good bit of free air for now.

Slacks, this is working well for now. Times are looking good.

So we've got three cars on. Perez behind in his out lap. So three cars stopped three laps ago.

So, Lance, if we want to do plan B, we'll have to survive this overtaking or we can go this lap. What do you think? Whatever you think.

Are you OK with this lap? Box is back.

So tyre green, dry air. Tyre green, dry air. I'll be fighting Sargeant at exit.

Sargeant is four lap on medium.

Sgt with you now, we can use late energy into 5.

Use energy into turn 5. Use it late.

Okay, bye. Straight line speed is a fucking joke.

Bottas has had his one lap hold of hard. Let's get into it now. Start doing some saving high speed in the rough.

Let's get HPP on.

Brake balance plus one.

That management's good. I'm happy with the management you're doing.

You're now on lap 16. Lap 16.

So it's a level of saving in turn 10 is good. Lift and coast is on the higher side. We're happy with this, but no more than this.

Lads, we need a driver default. MFA grey. Default 1-0. OK. MFA grey. Default 1-0. OK.

Hulkenberg is five laps older. Hard tyres. Quite a few of this group stopped quite early.

Late energy, late energy.

If you need to use energy again, you'll need to start doing some K0.

Are you amused by the straight line speed?

So that deck looks a little bit lower than we planned, but we're still largely on plan A for now.

So we're now on lap 22.

We see you pushing a bit harder in turn 10, but that's okay for us for now.

That's MFA off. MFA off.

Land 2 deck is looking very good for now. So people going down is good for us.

Consider diff mid-six for stability mid-corner. Diff mid-six.

Just checking the data across cars. Just focus on turn 14 exit. Turn 14 exit.

So, Lance, looking at our numbers, your deg is very low at the minute. We're thinking towards plan B. We'll take your tyre feedback, but we think the tyre will improve as it gets older.

Whatever you want to do, man.

Copy that. We don't think there's much on the table, so let's try and aim towards plan B for you. Towards plan B.

And Lance, we still think there's prioritised turn 14 exit a bit more. Prioritised turn 14 exit.

This is lap 28.

The deck is still very good on our numbers, so what you're doing is good.

So it's 14 laps to go. 14 laps to go.

So you've got Ricciardo and Albon four seconds behind. They stopped. They're on nine-lap hold hard at the minute, Ricciardo. It'll be important to keep him behind.

So, Lance, we expect Bottas will do the same as you. We've got Ricciardo two and a half seconds back. On ten lap hold hard. It's important to keep him behind.

So it's now 12 laps to go. 12 laps to go. You are P11 for now. Bottas P10.

How much quicker a lap is the guys behind?

So, Ricciardo and Ocon behind him. Around a second a lap quicker, but that will improve the tyre ages.

That's 11 laps to go.

So, Ricciardo and Ocon will start fighting. Just keep it clean for now. Extend your revs.

So if we can get DRS from Bottas, that would be good. It's detections entry of 18 and entry of 2.

K0 when you can.

Okay, so that's nine to go. Nine to go.

Remember, it's a late energy press only. Late energy press. Forget it. Could have a much different straight line speed. If this goes behind. Copy that, Lance. Everything you can do is good. It's good for the team as well.

So it'll be 8 to go at the end of this one. Tyre life is all good. We can do brake balance minus one.

You need to do a bit of K0 in sector 2 when you can, Lance.

Ocon is 6 laps behind. It will be difficult but everything you can do is helpful.

OK, that's seven laps to go.

And Albon is 14 laps on hard.

Okay, that's six to go, lads. Six laps to go.

Okay, that's five to go.

That's four laps to go.

So, late energy into turn 5 is OK. Just need a little bit of K0 somewhere in sector 2. That'll make it sustainable.

Okay, there'll be three laps to go.

We suggest brake balance minus one.

Two more laps.

So, one more lap. You can use early energy exit turn 1.

Seize the energy when we can, energy when we can.

I reckon that's a good job. Over the line. Remember, no in-lap, so we'll come back for the pit entry. Steady on the way in. Get a bit of pick-up while you can and we'll come back for the pitlane.

And that's out of P12 in the end, I'm afraid, P12. Good day, good management.

And just remember, Lance, P0 when you stop.
