OK, Lance, ready to check.

Yeah, that's all good. So it's eight minutes to start the formation lap.

OK, let's just ready check for the pit wall. Yeah. Yeah, that's all good. So it's five and a half minutes to the formation lap.

OK Lance, so it's two and a half minutes to go. Tyres are in. Everyone around you is on the medium tyre. You've got Tsunoda, Hamilton and Bottas are on the soft tyre. So Tsunoda is in P11, then Hamilton P14, Bottas P16, they're on the soft tyre. Everyone else medium.

OK, so that's one minute to go.

That's 30 seconds.

We want to push through turn 1, so let's make a bit of space before turn 1. We'd like to lean on tyres through turn 1.

I want to lean on tyres for turn 2 and 3, so you can make a little bit of space now if you need. I want to lean on tyres for turn 2 and 3.

Good, strong weaving all the way up to turn 7.

It'll be a 50m lift at turn 7, but we've had lean-on tyres all the way through 7.8.

Make a bit of space in turn 9. We want to lean on tyres for turn 10. So make space in 9, lean on tyres in 10, and it's high-speed weaving all the way to turn 11.

So, aggressive weaving now, Lance. Tend to stay on the low side.

We can do good scrubbing in 11 and 12. And then more high speed weaving if you can before 13.

Stay on the racing line for here, Lance, and there will be five burnouts. Five burnouts, slightly longer than normal.

Previous start was 12 under.

That's the last car approaching the grid now.

DRS will be enabled at turn 10 exit this lap.

Lads will need brake balance plus three when you can.

So what you're doing in turn 7 and 8 is good. Let's keep going with that.

So this will be lap 7, Lance. This will be lap 7. Safety car windows still closed. Pressures are still on the way up as well. I'll call you another two laps before they've settled.

So, Lance, if you need energy, it must be an early press. Exit turn 13. We're already full deploy in Kowam.

Pressures are starting to stabilise now. I'll take your tyre feedback. No rush.

Yeah, it's not great now. A lot of rear brake, a lot of front brake. And, uh, slow pace.

Okay, so this is now lap 10. The car behind Hulkenberg is Hamilton. I think he is struggling to pass him.

Car behind is now Hamilton. Soft tyre.

So, Lance, we are happy with your management for now, so keep doing what you're doing.

Allowed to read MFB, PU3, position 5. MFB, PU3, position 5.

So, Lance, we're happy with the tyre state. We can start to push a bit harder now in sector 1 and sector 3.

Car behind is now Hulkenberg, medium tyre.

So Lance, the car has started to pit. We're happy with what you're doing for now.

So let's keep doing what you're doing, but I'll take a balance feedback when you can.

Yeah, both axles are taking. Front left a lot and the rear.

So, Lance, we'll have to reduce lift and coast, so what you're doing now is okay?

So, front pressures are starting to drop. That's why we're happy to reduce lift at coast, but the last lap has been okay for us.

So you're now on lap 19, Lance. Lap 19, still aiming for plan A.

That's both windows open at the minute. Both windows open.

So, Lance, we suggest brake balance minus one. And just looking at data across cars, we think we can push harder at turn one entry.

Lance, we need MSB, PU3, position 4.

So that's MFB, PU3, position 4.

So, Lance, we think we're still on target for plan A. The deck looked really good for us the last few laps. How does it feel to you?

Yeah, I mean, it's not great, but hang on.

Leclerc connects it. You're racing him. You'll be quicker.

So, Russell from T4 has stopped this lap, so he might come out the pit exit ahead of you.

I started to drag a lot, man.

Copy that, Lance. Understood.

Carlos, it won't be too long, so we can just make sure we're using this tyre now. It won't be too long. Yeah, I'm just using it. So much time in 9-10 for rough.

I've got Perez to the exit. He's come out ahead of you.

Ricciardo stopped behind.

I'm going to have to box this lap. Box this lap.

So let's try a green dry aisle. Before you stop, try a green dry aisle.

So, should be ahead of Ricciardo at pit exits.

Okay, so you're now on lap 31. Ricciardo is three seconds back.

You can still pump your heart out.

So it'll be 40 laps to go at the end of this one.

Brake balance plus two. Brake balance plus two.

Bottas ahead is 16 laps hard.

Looks like we'd like some small lift at coast, so 15 metres, turn 1, turn 11.

So let's do Strat 7. Front left was limited in the last stint, so let's get a small brake in turn 7, only small.

Ahead of Fernando, you've got Gasly. Gasly's the same strategy as us. There's Albon and Hulkenberg who stopped very early.

That's Strat 27.

How much is my penalty for the speeder? Five pence.

So it's not over yet, Lance. Just need to get some tyres at the end. So keep your tyres in good shape for the end. Don't know what's going to happen later on.

Albon ahead of Fernando. It's a 27 lap old hard.

We still think we need a bit more of a brake in turn 7.

Reminder, Albon is 19 laps old at heart.

So, Lance will be 28 laps to go. Ricciardo is around a second behind Albon. He's on the same strategy as us.

Lance, we need MFB PU3 position 5. MFB PU3 position 5.

Ricciardo now the car behind. He's on the same strategy as us. One lap all the hard.

Just looking across cars, mate. Tight loss for us at the minute. It's turn 2 and 3. Focus exit turn 3 if you can.

That'll be 24 to go. 24 laps to go.

Windows are closed at the minute, just to confirm.

So Norris is the car behind. He's the race leader. We expect to get a blue from him in around two laps.

That's the Lancer Race situation. So, Fernando and Gasly. Gasly's on the same strategy as us. They're in a fight for P9 with Hulkenberg, who stopped very early.

That's considered brake balance minus one.

So that's a blue flag for Norris.

Let's not expect any more blue flags for a while, so just get back in your rhythm.

Car behind is Zhou, just left the pitlane. You are a lap ahead of him.

Safety car windows are still closed. It's 18 laps to go.

That's just a reminder, exit kerb turn 13.

So, lads, it'll be 16 to go. So you're P12 on the road, but Hulkenberg, Gasly, Alonso are ahead and they're all going to be very close at the end of the race. So keep at it.

And that's where we recommend brake balance minus one.

That's 15 to go.

That's 13 to go.

That's just looking across cars on the data. Only real loss is turn 3 min speed. That's around a tenth of a second, so turn 3 min speed.

That's 10 to go.

Lance, you can ignore the fuel alarm. Ignore any fuel alarms.

Car ahead is now Hulkenberg. He's 16 laps older. Hard tyres.

That's eight laps to go. Eight laps to go.

Seven laps to go.

Just watch traction slip turn 3, turn 12. That will help performance.

And that'll be six laps to go.
