Oscar, radio check.

Yep, radio check and brakes are good. Excellent, and your notes are on the right-hand side.

Oscar, tyre info. So the top six cars are new medium, both Red Bulls, new hards, and then towards the back of the grid, hard starters are Ocon, Tsunoda, Stroll and Bottas. Have a good race. Thank you.

Can someone just restart the fan? I don't know if it's died or it's just turned off.

Thirty seconds to go.

Turn 2.

Turn.

Bye.

And Oscar will need a lift into turn 4.

And a clutch drop was on target.

And no more full load after turn 6.

Going to be a lift into turn 8.

Going to be a lift into turn 11.

And there will be another lift out of 11 before your burnouts and after the bite point find white H14 position 1, H14 1.

The last cars are following me up now.

Leclerc, point 6.

DRS enabled.

Leclerc, 0.8.

Leclerc 0.8. Leclerc push turn 6 a bit more this lap.

Leclerc, 1.1.

I suggest strat 7. Strat 7. Leclerc does have DRS. 0.9.

White H12, position 1, white H12, position 1, white H12, position 1, 0.9, 0.9.

Flaps 1.0, flaps 1.0.

So, Oscar, we don't see graining on any cars yet. We think we need to get to at least plan B target lap to clear traffic.

No transcript available

Oscar, just a reminder that the rear can't be not so far from the limit as well.

Brake 0.9. Brake 0.9.

There are a few gaps starting to open up behind Albon. P9 is now nearly 15 seconds back.

Hamilton P5. Last lap 24.9. He's now six seconds back.

Oscar, we're in the window for a full safety car. Full safety car only and picture update, please. How are the tyres, Pala? The tyres are better than I've been to.

Oscar, tyres so far look similar to the time model.

Leclerc 1.2. And Oscar, do you have an opinion on plan A versus plan B yet?

Perfect clear. Nice, so far. Understood.

Oscar, we're now in the window for both safety cars. In the window for both safety cars.

So, it's full band of braking. Yes. Uh oh. Copy that.

So, Oscar, consider the brake balance. We see similar on other cars. Yours is one of the best.

Oscar, how is the front wing? Pretty good. It's good for the front lap.

I've got to put the seat down. Understood.

So, Oscar, you are the best for graining of the medium runners. The hard looks a step or even multiple steps better.

We're going to stop for a little bit as well.

Turn 1 suggests top right toggle. Top right toggle.

Oscar, update on plan A versus plan B please. What's your thought with the rear?

Still plan A. Copy.

Braking bad, let's take a wider. Understood, Oscar. Lando has just pitted.

Understeer is getting worse. Copy Oscar. Pace looks good still.

Yellow tip 1.

You've got four seconds on Leclerc.

OK, Leclerc is pitching.

Oscar, we have boxed this lap. Use the pace now.

Strat 6.

Suggest rearwards brake balance. Rearwards brake balance.

Okay, Oscar, we're boxed this lap. Box this lap. Brake balance for the pitstop. We're boxed.

Okay, careful into the box. We have the lock-up on the lap.

It's pretty close to Lando's turn 1. It's Papairol's launch map.

Take care, front locking turn 1. Albon is just ahead of Lando as well. And Leclerc two and a half seconds behind Lando.

And tyre introduction point 6.

Okay, Oscar. On the Red Bull, we do see some front left graining. The rear looks okay. They're still out. Verstappen is 13 seconds ahead of you. That's the lead one.

Okay, the dash is correct. The dash is correct, so we need some fuel saving, but more Lycra will help the rears anyway. We're still in a good place.

Sainz has just pitted. That was the last of the medium tyres. Both lead balls are still out of the park.

Oscar, if possible, move to the left earlier after turn 10. Move to the left earlier after turn 10. We spoke about that beforehand.

Strat 7.

Verstappen, last lap, with a 25.5. Perez, 26.1. They have graining.

Red bull graining is front and rear. Currently we think this looks more like a plan B.

And Oscar, you're doing well with the fuel. That's getting back to fueling at zero. If anything, you could do a bit less saving at the moment.

Okay, Verstappen has pitted. They did 22 laps on that hard.

Reminder, take care with the tyres in the following repairs.

Oscar, this is plan B, target lap. Plan B, target lap.

In the window for full safety car only. Full safety car only.

Go for it.

And you are currently the fastest car. This is good.

Gasly to exit.

Small bend of brake. Right left. Copy. Lando is pitting. He ran long in turn 4 and is pitting.

The steering is getting a bit worse. Understood.

It's getting worse pretty quickly. Copy, Oscar. Leclerc, last lap, 23.63.

It's definitely getting worse now.

Understood, Oscar.

So, Oscar, we see the front left wear energy pick up. Just keep taking care of the tyres. Your pace is good.

So Leclerc is still behind Gasly. Car ahead is Zhou. He'll get three flags.

Oscar, how's the tyre? How long have we got? Yeah, almost done. It's not getting that much worse, but I can't go any faster.

Plan B.

Braking is broken and closed. Head to the reverse. Understood.

Hiroshi, Oscar, do you think there's any chance we can 1-stop?

I don't think so. Turn left is pretty dead. Understood. We think cars behind may try and go to the end. Sainz is 16 seconds back. He may try and go to the end.

So, Oscar, question is, do you prefer to be overtaking those cars? You could have to overtake Hamilton, Sainz and Leclerc.

To do another 15 laps is going to be very, very difficult.

Oscar, I think we should box this lap. Box this lap. Let's do that.

Brake balance for the stop. Brake balance.

Oscar Perez. Launch map on. Launch map, careful into the box.

Launch rapport. Launch rapport.

Should be ahead but close with Verstappen at pit exit. Verstappen on 15 lap old hards.

Okay, Verstappen is behind. Car ahead is Sainz. 8 seconds.

19 lap hauled.

You need 15 laps out of this tyre, so just two laps introduction turn 6 and 11.

OK. Leclerc, Hamilton, 3-8, Alonso, Benz, 3-8, both Ferrari's.

Half our head is the club. 18.3

Bottas has blue flags.

What pace do I need? Get back to Leclerc.

Oscar, based on current pace for Leclerc, which is 23.7, you need to keep this pace, 22.0.

Sainz is starting to get severe graining though, so there may be opportunities as well. Let's see what Leclerc can do. Gap to Sainz, 3.1. Gap to Leclerc, 14.2.

White H12, position 3. H12, 3.

Gasly is the car ahead of sight. He's a blue flag.

Nice job. Captain Leclerc, 11.7.

There's eight laps remaining. Leclerc 23.7.

Pace 28.

You need 22-0, 22-0. That would be a zero on your delta.

Gap's down to 9.1.

Carlos Sainz, Stroll and Ocon, they'll get blue flags.

Five laps to go. 8.3.

It's bad.

From Leclerc, we see the graining has cleared up, but that means high wear. So front locking risk gap 6.8.

Three laps to go. Keep the pressure on.

Strat 4.

OK, this is the last lap. Last lap. Four seconds.

That's P2. Well done, Oscar. I need a couple of switches. H11-12 and H12-1. That's white H11-12, white H12-1.

And you can leave recharge off. It was close, buddy, really close.

Hang on. Thank you. Yep.

White H12, position 1. White H12, position 1.

Okay, Oscar. So you're coming back into the pitlane. The boards are in the pitlane. And when you get there, we need to kill the engine, wait five, and then switch off.
