OK, Lance, ready to check.

Yep.

Yeah, you're allowed a clear, so it's seven minutes to the formation lap.

OK, Lance, I'm ready to check for the pit wall.

Yep, all out of place at three minutes to the formation lap now.

Okay, so tyres are in. So most of the grid is on medium around you. So directly behind you've got Bottas on hard. And then Ocon and Tsunoda, the two cars ahead, they're on hard as well. And then the Red Bulls in P7, P8 are hard. So most of the grid's medium. Red Bull in the top ten are hard. And then you've got the two cars ahead hard. Bottas directly behind hard. Everyone else medium.

Okay, Lance, and that's one minute.

You've got 30 seconds.

We'd like to get some weaving in before turn 1 and a good stop as well, so just make some space after your launch.

No transcript available

Okay, so if we can get some high-speed weaving and a good stop into 1 and then you can make space again into 1-2.

Red first start was target plus 17. Target plus 17.

I would like to lean on tyres and do weaving all the way through turn 3.

50m lift into 4 and then a good stop. Make space in 4-5.

We want some high-speed weaving into 6. You can do a 50m lift there as well.

Any weaving now is good before 7. Push through 7.

And high speed weaving all the way to turn 8. Good brake there.

A bit more weaving now if you can. A bit of 50m to lift and a brake at 11.

Let's stay on the racing line now, Lance. Keep the tyres clean.

It'll be one burnout, one burnout.

Remember, Lance, no 5.5 required.

DRS active. Exit turn 7 this lap.

Energy is OK for now, Lance. Crawler-pinto is on medium.

Any energy press must be late. Late press only.

Absolute brake balance plus four.

So let's get some K0 if we can. No energy press this time. No energy press.

Excellent. All happy to race. You're now on lap 6. Just remember we are on plan 8. Remember what that means.

So K0 when you can.

Ocon ahead is hard tyre as well.

Slants, now you've got a bit of a gap on Colo Pinto. Just prioritise exit turn and level a bit more. Steady on the entry just for tyres.

So, no DRS for Colopinto, so just getting into your saving now.

Lance, how is balance at the minute?

That's America.

So, just keep up the lift and coast. That is going to help. We've got a Pinto now 1.4 back.

Gasly ahead is medium. He is struggling.

That's MFB PU11 position 3. MFB PU11 position 3.

So, currently P14. You're now on lap 11.

Lamps pressures are stabilising now.

So, Lance, people are starting to stop from the group ahead, but we are sticking to plan A, so keep that in your mind. Now on lap 13.

I'll take some Typhee back when you can.

Yeah, it's awesome. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much.

Lancet's trying to increase lift and coast turn 1 by 20 metres.

Lance, let's try fourth gear at turn 11. Try fourth gear turn 11.

Lance, let's get Strat 7 now, please. Strat 7.

You might see Leclerc at pit exits. He has just stopped from P3.

He's ahead. He's with Ocon.

Sir Hamilton, car behind us, stopped. He's three seconds back, but just him for now.

So, Lance, we're all happy with tyre management. It's just keeping you up the lifted coast. There's a salt coming up. We're all stuck up. We're all draining. Copy. Which axle?

Out. That's out.

Hamilton's on two lap hard. He's got DRS.

Let's get HPP on.

Okay, lads, so this will be lap 19. We are still thinking plan A, but keep up your tyre feedback. Oh, shit!

We think plan A is going to be quite difficult. We're thinking of converting to plan B. It won't be long. What do you think? I don't know.

You can certainly still find it, can't you? We're all boxes, my folks.

So, tyre green, dry air before you stop.

OK, you'll be racing collar pin to pit exit. Two lap hold hard.

Collar pinto with you now. Hulkenberg to your back.

Hulkenberg, 14 laps on hard.

That suggests brake balance plus four.

Lance, suggest left toggle for turn 11. Left toggle turn 11.

Let's just focus on turn 9.10. We are quite quick in turn 8 compared to Fernando, so focus on turn 9.10. Now lap 25.

So the group ahead is being pulled back by Bottas who hasn't stopped yet.

We expect Gasly will box this lap.

OK, so this will be lap 31, so there's 22 laps to go.

So Bottas out of Colopinto is on 19 lap holder hard. He's not stopped yet.

We could use energy late press only.

This is now lap 36.17 to go.

Box opposite Colopinto. Box opposite Colopinto.

Right, so it'll be 16 laps to go. We've got Gasly ahead. He's five laps old hard.

So let's push the tyre on this outlap.

So, we have undercut Colopinto. So, do fight Gasly. We are racing him. And then get into some saving when you can.

Zhou ahead of Leclerc is 22 laps old hard.

Let's get brake balance plus four.

That's Gasly at point 5.

We'll need some K0 if you can. Or no energy into turn 1.

Okay, good job. So that's 12 laps to go.

So, Ocon is ahead of Leclerc. He's in P14. He's on five lap holder medium, so we expect to see him towards the end of the race.

Ocon is now a car ahead. He's five seconds up the road.

So Ocon now four ahead. We are around a second a lap quicker. That's nine laps to go.

So that's seven to go. Seven laps to go.

We've got Piastri car behind us in P2, so we'll get blues from him this lap or next lap.

I had a really strange feeling.

That's a blue light for traffic. I think the car is about to explode. I think the front left is about to explode. I'll let you know you've got a blue flag for Gatwick Street.

So, pressures, vibration, all good for now, Lance.

Can you describe the issue to me? It's pulling left to right and really has no grip. Really strange behaviour, man.

That's a blue for Norris.

So, blue for Norris. We're happy with what we see on the data for the tyres, Lance. Happy to keep pushing for now.

Lance, box this lap. Box this lap. What?

Test first, this lap attempt.

This will be a soft tyre. We'll charge on the way out.

OK, so it's a new set of softs. We'll have Verstappen, Russell and Panezzi. I might have to let them go or let you know where they are.

So you've got Verstappen 2 back, Russell 3 behind him. We'll have to let them go. We've got Blue for Verstappen. Russell 3 behind Verstappen.

And then you've got Russell to your back. We can drop behind Tim. There's a big gap behind Russell.

Wow!

So that's a blue for Russell. OK, so now 11 back to Perez. This is to practice the procedure for when we need it, Lance.

So it'll be 1 to go at the end of this one. We can drop back a little bit. We've got 8 back to Perez, only 3 ahead to Russell. So we need to drop back a little bit. Exit turn 11. It'll be strat 5. Gap behind 7. Gap ahead 4.

It's a 2.0 WG.

Early energy exit final corner.

Glance and that's the flag. That's the flag, so run switch warm-up.

Just need MFB PU1 position 12. MFB PU1 position 12.

The switches are good. At the end there was just a practice procedure for when we want to do it later.

And just a reminder, any stop lamps, P1 then P0.
