Radio check.

Yeah, that's louder than us.

Seven and a half minutes to go.

OK, lads, that's now six minutes to go.

OK, Lance, ready to check for the pitwarp.

Yep.

Yeah, that's all loud and clear. So it's three minutes now to start the formation.

OK, so tyres are in. Everyone is on the medium. It's just Hamilton in P16. He's on the hard. Everyone medium. It's just Hamilton in P16 hard tyre.

Just over a minute remaining now. We did make an aerobalance adjust as well, so it's slightly more in line with the other car. Wind, we think, has been dropping slightly as well, so it's now back towards Corley levels. Is that up or down on aerobalance? We've gone up on aerobalance.

So, for the formation lap, that's 40 seconds to go now. The priority is just to try and push through 1, 2, 3 if you can. We're happy to leave a little bit of space at turn 5.

No transcript available

So you can build a bit of a gap after the launch that focuses on pushing through 1, 2 and 3. High speed weaving where you can, Lance. High speed weaving is default wherever you can.

I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90.

So we need a 50m lift into 5 and then a good stop. We can make a bit of space at 5. Priority is high speed weaving all the way to 6.

High-speed weep all the way down here. High-speed weep all the way down here. It's a hundred and stop at the big turn left. And then a good stop at six.

Happy to make space in turn 6-7. And again, it's high-speed breathing, as aggressive as you can always be.

I'm not going to lean on the tyres, but avoid our front right sliding, so you're looking at 120kph.

10-11, 50m left into 12. Staying on the racing line now in the queue. If we can maintain some speed through 13-14, Lance, that's good. We're happy to lean through 13-14.

When you're waiting for turn 15, you can do some low-speed scrubbing on the front.

So that's it. It'll be three burnouts, just three burnouts. You can exit the final corner.

When you do them, do some steer as well. Three strong burnouts with steer. Exit final corner. Remember, present whole K0.

Last car approaching the grid now.

Okay, good job settling to it. P9 for now.

VSC, VSC, so run switch safety car, keep it positive.

Red switch safety car. Keep it positive.

So, maintain front temperature. So, we don't know what drop front temperature that's. So, keep an eye on the tyres. Maintain front temp.

Mr Perez has stopped at the right-hand side at turn 10. We think he's off track.

So, stay close to the delta. It might not be long. Keep an eye on the delta.

When it starts to clear you can go back on the safety car switch as well. We are staying out.

So as close to the delta as you can.

White button is currently latched for now. You might want to take it off.

That's when we have the restart. Remember you can use early energy exit 5 and exit 7 as well when you're racing.

Clear back to advantage race.

So VSC is ending, we'll switch race.

Verstappen now the car behind, two back.

So, Lance, it's likely to be at least plan A plus with these positions, so just get into your management.

We think we need more management at turn 2 and 3, so slightly bigger lift at turn 2 and 3.

So, turn nine was good last lap. Let's do that again. We just need a bit more management. Turn 15 as well.

Don't worry too much about Verstappen behind. He's not in our race and he's got a penalty anyway.

So next stop back is Lawson, two back.

Lance, we can increase lift and coast at 5 and 6, that's to help the rear surface temps.

So, this is now lap 8. I'll take some tyre feedback when you can. You can do it after turn 5.

The tyres are... the wheels are dropping a lot. I can't use the 43 natural.

I mean, what's happening at turns 6 and 7? I've never really thought that before.

So turn six and seven, the tailwind is very strong in this traffic. More lift and coast into six will help.

I just think there's too much aerodynamics on the car, man. We'll come back to this later. Just do what you can for now. We'll let you know if we can do something with the switches.

I think we're going to bounce so much. Get on a new tyre, we're going to bounce.

So I'm actually now on lap 10. I know it doesn't feel great. The pace is not too bad to those of a racer. Remember, Lawson's on a different strategy, potentially.

It's straight ahead of us or not?

Lawson has only got one hard tyre.

A little bit more saving. Entry of 9. More saving. Entry turn 9.

Box opposite Magnussen.

Tyre switch, green dry-air before you stop.

Fighting Piastri. Pit exit. Hard out lap.

Okay, that's it with the slow stop. Let's just get into some management. So straight into management turn 9. Don't worry too much about Piastri behind.

Might be racing Magnussen pit exit.

OK, so Magnussen has come out behind Piastri, Zhou and Albon stopped as well, so straight back into the management now.

And we've got Lawson comfortably inside the pit window as well, so just make sure you're comfortable. Gentle introduction.

Tyre appearance actually was okay, so just focus on thermal management.

So, Fernando, if you are going to lift the clutch, try to give me the new ones to defend.

So Magnussen car behind, we are racing. He's on one lap that you are hard tyre.

When you do start racing back to city, can you reduce energy at 5 and 7?

Now on lap 16. Your management in the first step was good, Lance.

You've had two laps deleted for track limits turn 1, Lance, so just careful there.

Turbo check in. Turbo check, we are.

So we can do less of a lift into turn nine, Lance. Don't have to lift quite as much into turn nine.

So lads, we think all those track limits are real, so please take some caution turn 1. No more track limits there.

Lift and coast we need in 5 and 6, but you can reduce elsewhere, so like turn 12 we don't need the lift and coast if you don't think you need it.

So, Magnussen did lose DRS last lap. He went off at turn 1. You're good in turn 7, Lancer. Keep up. So, focus on turn 7 exit. That is good for you for now.

It's now on lap 23.

Lance, if we could manage turn 2 and 3 less, if that's what you're doing. We don't think we need the lift anymore.

I'm stuck in shit out here. I can't even control the car.

Copy, Lance. See if we can do anything on the switches. Just keep up the thermal management where you can.

So that's your generally quicker than Magnus midterm one. Just do what you can for now. Try and get it under control.

There's 32 laps to go, so we need to live with this if we can for a few more laps. You're doing a good job.

Consider left toggle for turn one.

Let's start getting some K0 into turn 12. K0 into turn 12. I'll remind you.

Lance, how has aerobalance been this stint? Better not talk about it. I think it's okay. It's for Carl's. It doesn't matter.

Is anything still too much for your balance? Properly balanced. Obviously Magnussen is struggling with tyres now, so just stay in your reverb, this is good.

This is good, Lance. Keep it up. Need a few more laps like this.

Let's get some K0 into turn 12.

So just repeat that K0 each lap into turn 12.

So, currently on lap 29. Magnussen has got Albon and Zhou putting him under pressure now.

First I see you on my short shift out of 6 and 6 out of the back here. Check. Later.

Okay lads, let's use all this tyre now. Use all this tyre now, it won't be long.

Stay out. Stay out. Stay out.

Verstappen, Verstappen behind his out lap. We don't need to lose too much time with him.

Possible debris exit turn 7 left-hand side. Don't lose too much time with Verstappen.

Box this lap. Box this lap.

Strat 7. Strat 7. You can do that now.

So, gentle introduction, hill clear at pit exits.

Piastri served the penalty, so he'll come out behind us. So he stopped the same lap as you, new tyre, hard.

So, gentle introduction. 24 laps to go at the end of this one.

Let's get HPP on. 23 remaining.

How many laps did I do on that last set? 21. 21 on the last set. Doing Toronto one stop ahead, so he'll come back towards us. He's doing 1 minute 30s for now.

So, Albon, who was behind you in the last stint, he has stayed out, possibly trying a one-stop but he's inside the pit window already, so just keep doing what you're doing, it's okay.

So happy to start reducing management slightly in the high speed, so 2, 3 and 9.

There are some cars ahead like Dewin and Tsunoda further ahead who are trying one-stops, so they'll come back to us, so just need to make sure we have the tyre in good shape at the end. It's just thermal management, the tyre appearance has been good, both of your sets.

So, Fernando should come out ahead of potentially Dewitt. Might see him at pit exit.

So, it'll be 18 to go at the end of this one. You will see some one-stoppers towards the end of your race, so make sure you have good tyres towards the end. I want to try and get through doing fairly quickly if we can.

Okay, good job. There's 17 to go at the end of this one. We'll have the one-stoppers coming back towards us. This is good. There will be a race on later at the end of the race.

Strat 6. Strat 6, you can do that now.

That's 16 to go, currently P13.

OK, let's go strat 7 now. Strat 7.

So, Norris car behind his race leader. I expect the blue flag in around four laps. Let's try a little bit more lifted coast in turn six. That's to help traction in turn seven.

Thirteen laps to go.

So Piastri has caught Fernando and Tsunoda ahead. Tsunoda is the one stopping car. Tsunoda will come back to us.

Now 12 laps to go. 12 laps to go.

So, from our side, Lance, we don't need the lifts in 15 or turn 2.

That's 11 laps to go.

Ten laps to go.

Blue for Norris.

So, blue flag for Norris. Try and be efficient if you can. Tsunoda now car ahead. Ten lap older tyres than yours.

That's eight laps to go, eight to go.

Tsunoda has been struggling. Car ahead, turning up all the hard tyres.

You can use early energy. Exit 7 if you need.

Six to go. We'll have to take a blue from Sainz soon.

That's a blue for Sainz behind, one second back.

Blue flag for Sainz.

Five laps to go. There'll be no more blue flags.

Four laps to go, four to go. Yeah, yeah, I can feel the press.

There's nothing I can do to get past this guy. Tyres are fucking red. Carlos beats the shit. It's not good.

Confirmed. I think his tyres are dead as well, so do what you can. His tyres aren't dead, he's funny quick!

OK, two to go. Strat 6 over the line. Strat 6, Albon 5 ahead, really winch juggling, so keep focused.

Need to strat 6. Strat 6, you can do that now.

It's good to do a science project of turns after the race.

Lawson has stopped exit turn 5. It's yellow there. Exit 5.

OK, Lance, that's the flag. Let's get you some switches. Good overtake there. Good job.

So you can do HPP off.

So, run switch warm up and then we need MFB P1 position 12. Run switch warm up.

MFB P1 position 12.

OK, that's annoying me as well. That was a penalty for turn 1. Track limit is lap 56, so one lap to the end for us.

So we ended up P14 in the end, not P12.

Track limits. We've got four track limits at turn one and the last one was just one lap from the end.

Just remember P1 then P0 when you come.
