Radio check. Yeah, Dex, you can go ahead. Radio check, Fernando. Yeah, he's good for both of us.

Gear, radio check.

Yeah, all good Fernando, all good.

I've seen Hulkenberg is medium, so I'll let you know the rest of it.

Ok, so everyone ahead of you is on mediums except Lawson next to you is hard. So Lawson is hard and then behind Lance, Bottas, Colapinto are hard. Then Piastri medium and then Perez, Zhou and Ocon all hard. So there's six hard tyres which is Lawson, Bottas, Colapinto, Perez, Zhou and Ocon. Everyone else medium.

Copy.

Okay, so it'll be 1.5 when Dermot gives you the signal.

That was eight over, Fernando, eight over, so we'll make a bit of a gap now and then. High-speed weaving down to turn one.

And then we'll take a hundred metre lift before braking for turn 1.

So you can lean on tyres through 1-2-3 and then high speed weaving down to 4 and we'll take a hundred metre lift into 4, please.

We can make a bit of a gap now in 5 and 6 and then we'll take a bit more high speed weaving before 7 and a small 50 metre lift into 7.

It's a bit of weaving here. A 50m lift before 7 and then you can lean on the tyres through to turn 10.

So you can lean on it through 10-11, some high-speed weaving before 12 and a 50 metre lift before a good break into 12.

Stay on the racing line through this section. You can do some good scrubbing now on the racing line.

So we're okay for three burnouts. We're okay for three burnouts. Short and crisp. And use the K0 before you start.

So, it will be three burnouts. Use K0 before you start. Make sure you're on a crisp. Keep an eye on your group optimisation.

Run, switch, race. Brake balance won't let you rearwards. Back to neutral. First gear and I'm watching.

Last car is on the grid now and that is minus 12. Only minus 12.

Safety car, slow down, get your delta positive.

I'm going to run to a safety car. Run to a safety car. And the tyres are on a cooler side, so keep tight.

I'm going to get to the safety car on the run, so it's a safety car.

Can't keep the time temperature.

You can't go to strat 11.

So the fronts will drop quickly, so a bit of brake temp will keep the fronts up.

A bit of weaving to keep the front tendon to a small jog.

There's double yellows before Turn 1 all the way through to the exit of Turn 3. So just keep an eye out for some debris, there's a fair bit of debris around.

One click forward on brake balance. One click forward on brake balance.

Just watch the delta in a section, but you're good.

Try and build up your brake tension when you can.

I cannot be with this brake balance and build the brake temps.

I could have felt it was too cool, I guess. You can't do that. Yeah, we've got it cool for now.

So, if you can, do some lifts just to cool the engine when you're at high speed.

On the straight, if you can stay at part throttle. Just stay at part throttle on the straight. Around 200-250 kph and then we'll do a lift at the end.

And then do the braking while you can.

Into turn four you can do a good brake.

And if you can, lean on the tyres through this higher speed section.

I have a good brake. It's 12. Good brake.

So, for now, on the straight, you can do the parts roll again as last time, but you don't need to do the lift at the end, just do a good brake.

You can do the high-speed weaving here, then you can...

OK, Fernando, you can do some braking here into 4.

Currently the car behind Perez is under investigation for a jumpstart. He's likely to get a five second penalty.

On the main straight, you can just do a bit more braking to keep the temps.

Hard throttle and then brake is fine.

So we can do a bit more weaving when you're at speed, Fernando.

So, Fernando, we'll just go back to safety car just to get some rear brake temp. We're quite cold on the brakes. Lots of room to build up your brake temp.

Perez behind. Perez behind does have a penalty. Five seconds.

Do as much weaving as you can. It's likely to go green after this lap.

And then we'll have another good lift, another good brake into one.

So Saito Ko will be in this lap. Saito Ko will be in this lap.

It's a bit more weaving through here, Fernando, and then another good break.

Keep working on the tyres here, Fernando, as best you can. Keep working on the tyres.

Verstappen starting to make a gap to the safety car. Suggest two clicks rearwards from where you are now for the restart. And it'll be run, switch, race.

You've got lots of energy available.

So just caution braking turn one with the front.

HPP on. HPP on.

Okay, so DRS is enabled now. DRS is enabled. Car level 11.

That's lap 13. Colapinto is on the hard behind you.

Copy. Turn 20 maybe. Next laps.

Copy, I'm going to check and come back.

We need more brake cooling, please. More brake cooling.

I'm going to say no brake, don't increase with the hot brakes.

Stefano, we really need to call these brakes. Is the brake pedal long?

Yeah, a bit long in the middle sector.

Do you want to go forward or rearwards?

Rearwards, please. It's the front brakes, rearwards.

So just take care. Something's blocked in the cooling on the front. We'll be boxing this lap. Box, box.

Copy, copy.

Box, box, box, box, box.

I'm afraid we have to retire the car. It's coming slowly, coming slowly.
