Radio check. I can't hear you. Radio check. Oh, there we go. Braking up a little bit. Yeah, it's a bit bad on the grid, so don't worry.

11:57:45

Lando, tyre info. Hamilton starts on a U-soft, Ricciardo on a soft. Hard starters are Magnussen, Stroll, Bottas and Zhou. Everybody else starts on the medium.

11:59:51

Thirty seconds to go.

12:00:08

Ten seconds to go.

12:00:13

Five seconds.

12:00:54

OK, Lando, big left into turn 1.

12:02:03

To turn 16, launch feedback, you are on target.

12:02:22

I'm going to lift into 18 if you can.

12:02:30

It will be purple C6 position 1 before the burnouts. That's purple C6 position 1.

12:03:58

Last car approaching the grid.

12:05:35

Landline and minor. Purple C7 position 1. Purple C7 position 1.

12:06:10

DRS enabled. Gap is currently 0.9.

12:06:19

He does have DRS.

12:07:13

And you've broken DRS.

12:09:36

Okay, mate, the gap is increasing slowly. So now 1.7. If we can keep on doing this, this is good.

12:12:09

Atlanta minor. Purple C2, position 8 please. Purple C2, position 8.

12:12:29

Gap now 2.0.

12:15:45

Lando, how's the pace? Yeah, pace 6 or something.

12:16:05

Okay, in which case, we'd like to use a bit of that pace to try and get a five second gap to max, if possible, by the mid-teens.

12:17:24

3.8.

12:18:58

Four point zero.

12:20:14

Okay, Lando, this pace is really good. Just avoid the snaps and avoid the wheel spin. Gap to Hulkenberg is 15.9. He's in 6th.

12:20:35

4.9.

12:21:50

And Lando, minor. Purple's C2 position 9. Purple's C2 position 9. The first car Ricciardo has pitted might start the cascade. Doesn't affect our race yet.

12:23:48

Verstappen 6.9, Oscar 16.7.

12:25:04

And, Lando, overtaking looks difficult as expected. Undercut power looks strong. Maybe two seconds. Roger.

12:25:48

A little bit of R3. OK, understood.

12:26:10

Okay, Lando, this gap is good, so no need to push the tyres quite as hard. Let's cool them down a bit. Sainz has pitted as well.

12:28:19

And Lando, both safety car windows are open. Both safety car windows are open. Copy that.

12:29:01

Just be careful of late under-rotations. Turn 40. Reduce combined.

12:29:56

Verstappen, 10.6. Hamilton beginning to struggle, 18.3.

12:30:38

How are the tyres? Yeah, all good. Fairly consistent at the minute.

12:31:52

And Lando, just be careful braking that late turn 14.

12:32:16

Hamilton is pitting. Doesn't affect tyres.

12:33:52

And now, follow the dash, follow the dash, Peter gets a low penalty.

12:36:25

Lando, Oscar is thinking of pitting to undercut Russell so that might trigger things behind.

12:37:07

Lando, for our race, we just want to go as long as possible, so if we need to look after tyres, we will. We just don't want to be the first person to pit between you and Max.

12:39:40

And Lando, just be careful of the front from the rotations, turn 8.

12:41:59

Lando, just to give a picture behind, Verstappen 18.3, then Russell and Oscar together at 30.0.

12:42:55

Lando, I suggest just backing off turn 80 and turn 90 a little bit. It will look after both axes.

12:45:13

And just be careful of late under-rotations. Turn 16. Less combined. And reminder to drink.

12:47:34

Suggest no right-hand toggle. Turn 14, turn 16. Protect front under rotations.

12:51:02

Front wing damaged, maybe. Maybe front wing damaged.

12:51:20

Stay out for now, please. Stay out for now.

12:52:33

Lando, how does the car feel to you? Yeah, thanks.

12:52:45

Lando, we're going to suggest box this lap, box this lap. Verstappen's pitted.

12:52:58

Box now. Box now.

12:53:11

Brake is on when you come to a stop.

12:53:23

Launch map, launch map, launch map. Outlap 3, stint 3, outlap 3, stint 3. We see a small issue with the front wing, nothing serious. Oscar's just out of the final corner now.

12:54:51

And Lando, gap to Verstappen, 21.

13:04:32

Lando, we just want to be a bit proactive about the front right tyre, so just be careful entry speed turn 18. That was the issue. End of stint.

13:06:30

No risk with these cars, lad.

13:08:30

That's Magnussen and Ocon ahead.

13:11:43

Lando, the gap to Verstappen is 23. If there was a safety car, we think we would take it for a sock. Yeah, confirm.

13:13:20

Lando, front under rotation, turn 16. Manage them, please.

13:19:04

Minor, white H2, position 3. White H2, position 3.

13:19:46

Lando, the fastest lap is currently 35.6 done by Leclerc. We're happy to give it a go, but with no risk.

13:20:09

Our biggest concerns would be front-blocking, front-end rotations. If you want to do it, we can use red button into the final corner.

13:20:30

And we'd use strat 9, strat 9, but zero risk if you want to do it.

13:20:42

And it's now a 35.9, 35.9 by Leclerc.

13:20:50

35.9. Now 35.3. 35.3.

13:22:38

Okay, so full concentration. I'll take a drink.

13:25:48

Information Magnussen slow with a puncture at turn 10.

13:26:54

Magnussen is 16th.

13:27:25

And Lando, turn 9. Manage the traction.

13:29:00

Ten laps to go.

13:30:36

Okay, mate, you need to manage these underrotations with your brake pedal.

13:31:22

Okay, Lando, everyone struggles a bit with the hard. The gap to Verstappen is 29. There's loads of traffic ahead. Just chill out, bring this car home.

13:34:57

Just a reminder how tricky the following effect is. Oscar struggled going through three cars. Be careful.

13:37:07

Five laps to go.

13:39:51

And Lando, to be clear, the safety car windows are closed.

13:40:04

I have no grip.

13:43:36

This is the last lap.

13:45:17

Well done, mate. Good job. And leave recharge off, please. Sorry, white H11, position 12. White H11, position 12.

13:45:50

Yeah, lovely job, buddy. Amazing car all weekend. Thank you very much, everyone. One of many more. Let's keep pushing.

13:46:03

Agreed, mate. Well done. Oscar just came in P3 and I think you got past us at 2.

13:46:13

Apologies.

13:46:17

Ah, someone pitted in hurry. I didn't stop. Grabbed it for me. Anyway, P1. What am I?
