OK, that's ready, I'll check. Yeah. Yeah, it's all good. Cars OK. You've got five and a half minutes to the formation lap.

OK, Lance, just ready to check for the pit wall.

Yeah, all good. So you've got three minutes now, just over three minutes. Just for those new brakes, can you go rearwards 1% on the brake balance, please?

Okay, so tyres are in. So, pretty much everyone ahead is on the medium. You've got Magnussen in P14, he's on the hard. Ricciardo, P16 next to you, he's on the soft. And also the two Saubers at the back are on the hard as well. So, really everyone ahead is on the medium. It's just Magnussen, P14, hard. Ricciardo, P16, soft.

Well, that is one minute.

So, once you've done the launch, Lance, we want to make space before turn 1. We want to push turn 1, 2, 3, if we can.

And that's 30 seconds.

But that's 15.

Okay, so making a gap before turn 1, we want to push turn 1-2-3.

We can make a gap again out of turn 3. We want to weave and then push turn 5 up again.

Start was 12 under, minus 12.

So, making space out of turn 3, you want to weave before turn 5 and then push turn 5.

With a high-speed weaving all the way to turn seven if you can.

100m lift before turn 7 and then a good brake just to wake up those new brakes. Leaning on tyres through 7-8 if you can. Any weaving between these corners.

Pushing turn 9 and then high-speed weaving before 10.

We need a 50 metre lift and then a good break.

Gentle through turn 13. There's a bit of bunching. I'm happy to go slow here. We want high speed weaving before 14, so make a gap here. We want good high speed weaving before 14.

Let me get a 50 metre lift and a good break.

Brakes are on the hotter side now, so no more big stops. Just lift and coast into 16. High-speed weaving now.

In the slow speed here, we need aggressive low-speed weaving. So start by overscrubbing the fronts.

Brakes are hot, Lance. Easy on the brakes now. No more stops.

Staying on the racing line, a bit of low-speed skripping.

Cars on the hot side, so no burnouts.

So, remember, just gentle drive out with the low attempt here without burnouts.

Nice to remember the plan here.

Two cars behind are both on hard, same as you.

DRS will be active exit turn 5 of this lap.

Brake balance plus five. Brake balance plus five and get into the lift and coast as you are doing.

Lift and coast is good. Let's do the same again.

Good luck on lap 5.

Your lift at coast is good. We're happy with that. Let's just keep doing it.

So we think Ricciardo ahead of Gasly is managing brakes, so he's losing touch slightly.

Zhou is now the car behind. The salvoes are swapped, but he's three seconds back.

Now on lap 7.

Let's get HPP on.

Lance, tyres just about stabilised now. Maintain lift at coast for now.

Lance, just take a balance check when you can. Yeah, a lot of understeer. Huge understeer.

I think the front right is going to drain like crazy.

Okay, so suggest mid three. Mid three.

I'm just going to press OK, the OK button, for a balance.

Lance, we've got torque 10 if you need it for rotation.

So Ricciardo has pitted. It does not affect our race.

So much understeer, it's really bad, yeah.

Yes, so manage the understeer as best you can, Lance. And the oversteer on exits, yeah. So, Lance, we just need to maintain some lift and pose for the brakes as well.

So you're now lap 13. Lap 13.

Yeah, I'm just braiding both axles.

So, lads, we think the grading is shallow and it will clean up. Let's just stay on the plan for now. I know it's not great.

HPP off.

Lance, just ready for you. You're now on lap 16. Magnussen, two places ahead, is on the same strategy and tyre as you and you are matching up at times as well.

I feel like I'm on ice. Like I'm out of the ice.

Copy that, Lance. You're not the only driver complaining. It might be a bit early for this compound, but stick with it.

OK, now on lap 19.

So, Sainz is now the car behind. Five lap on hard. It will help the team to not make it easy for him.

You can use early energy if you need to help defend from Sainz.

Car behind four seconds. That's okay. Thanks for your help. Just do what you can with the traction. 13.40. Be gentle.

1-0 on lap 23.

Lance on traction. Fernando suffering like you, so just do what you can. Be very patient on the throttle. Exit 13, 14 especially.

MFA Green Diff position 4 will help rotation final corner. MFA Green Diff position 4.

Lance, to lift the coach, you're doing it a minute. That's at the lower limit for the brakes, OK? So no less than what you're doing.

Fernando may come out with you. Make sure we don't slow him down if you come out next to each other.

Can I please stop this lap to change the pattern?

Copy. Stand by, Lance. Talked about it.

You're a fiend a lot.

We'll box this lap.

Box, this lap will add some air balance.

Tyre green, joint R.

Going to let some gentle introduction straight into Lifting Coast. 35 to go.

So that's just for management. We can go back forwards on the brake balance as well.

So you need to go back to lift and coast from the start of the race, Lance, so double what you're doing this lap.

Magnussen is pitting this lap. He's just ahead of our pit window. You may be near him. I'll let you know if he's got a slow stop.

Lift and coast is good that lap. Maybe a tiny bit on the high side, but what you're doing is good, so just maintain it for now.

HPP on.

That's 29 to go, 29 to go.

So that's race updates. The two Saubers have to stop again. They'll come up behind you. So Bottas has already pitted this lap. Giro will go soon. Gasly's in the same boat as well.

Watch throttle application turn 16. Gentle throttle turn 16.

So the group ahead is being slowed by Gasly, who has not yet stopped. Race leader Norris is four seconds behind, so we'll get a blue from him in two to three laps.

That's 24 to go, 24 to go.

Lance just walks the traction phases again, especially turn 13. Gentle traction.

Well, that's a blue for Norris. That's been efficient.

Lance, I know it's difficult, just try and manage traction. Turn 16 and turn 3.

That's 21 laps to go.

Was that better? That last lap?

Is this level of management better? Are you happy now?

I know it's difficult, just do what you can. A little bit more than what you did the previous three laps would be good, Lance.

There'll be 20 laps to go at the end of this one.

Slants. Manifold wide traction just between the last two laps, if you can.

Your first lap, was it better? First lap was a lot better, but it was just a big time loss so we kind of balanced it.

Slants, the group ahead is being slowed by Ricciardo. He stopped on lap 10. So that group ahead of 3 might come back to you.

That's Ricciardo ahead.

Twenty, thirty-four laps on medium tyres.

From our side, we prefer axle 2.

Lance, just to help traction turn 13, let's just take it easy on the throttle. Exit 11, all the way over that bridge there.

Nice burn out there.

That'll be 14 laps to go.

So you'll get a blue from Verstappen in around two laps.

Full safety car window is open.

There will be 12 laps to go at the end of this one.

That's a blue flag for Verstappen.

Blue for Verstappen, you can let him go at the end of the straight.

You can ignore any fuel alarms on the dash.

So it's ten laps to go. You are P14. Ocon is ahead of Verstappen. He's on three lap newer hard tyres.

Lance will take some tyre feedback when he can. Not urgent.

Piedra Botaxo is decking. Hold on.

So, deg and pace the last two laps. Looks okay to us. I'm fairly happy. So it's eight to go, nine to go.

Lance, it's the same message. Low speed traction, just manage it as best you can.

Car behind Magnussen is a lap behind you, so don't worry too much about him.

B7 to go.

And that's 6-0.

HPP off.

That'll be five to go.

So, Lance, we think we can reduce lift and coast slightly compared to the last lap. Just keep focusing on the traction management.

So, four to go. Piastri is three seconds behind Magnussen. We'll get a blue from him.

So we think Magnussen will pit his lap.

So it's three laps to go. We'll get a blue from Piastri this lap or next lap. It does need to be efficient when we get it.

That's a blue flag for Piastri.

Okay, that's two to go.

OK, final lap, Strat 5, Strat 5.

Strat 5 when you can. Final lap.

That's the flag. That's P14 in the end. No real incidents there, that's a shame. Switches wise, let's just get run switch warm up, please. Run switch warm up.

And then once you've done the run switch warm-up, it's MFB PU1 position 12.

OK, your switch is all good. Thank you, Lance.

Just take a pick up on the way in if you can. Stay offline.

When you pull up, remember P1, then P0. Thank you.
