Lando, radio check. All good. Copy.

That's just under six minutes now, Fernando.

Rear check. Rear check. Yeah, all good, mate. Yeah, ladder clear.

Radio check.

Finally, Fernando, just a radio check for the pitwall.

Yep, all good. Copy, all good. So you've got three minutes forty.

Okay, so tyres are in. Most cars are on soft. All the cars around you are on soft. We've got Leclerc P2, Hamilton P9 there on the medium. Behind you, you've got Lawson, Bortoleto P17-18 there on the medium as well.

That's now one minute.

Once we've done the launch, we want to build a gap initially just to get some speed up before turn one.

So, building a gap initially and then we want to build up some speed before turn one. Bit of straight line weaving if you can. We're happy to make space in turn one. Priority lean on tyres through two and three.

Launchers target plus nine.

Leaning on tyres here and then high-speed weaving all the way to turn four. A 50 metre lift at four and then a good brake. Lean on tyres to turn four.

Leaning on tyres all the way through 6 and 7. Make space in 8.

We'll need a 1.50 lift into turn 10, so you can push here and then 1.50 lift into turn 10 and again make a gap in turn 10 as well.

Priority is to high speed weave all the way to turn 11. Fifteen lift and a good brake.

Medium tyres through 11 and 12.

We need a 50 lift into 13. Everyone slow ahead.

So high-speed weaving all the way to 14, if you can. We do not need a lift at 14. Wind, Fernando, we think is reduced by five. Flaps are good.

And it will be five burnouts, five burnouts. Remember to hold K0.

It's really good to stop. It's 5.5 back to neutral. Remember, three green LEDs.

And new run switch race.

Minus 17.

So that's Doohan ahead, Ocon behind, both on soft. It'll be DRS exit turn 3 this lap.

We can do a late energy press into one.

Right, so now on lap 5. Brakes are on the limit for now, but I'll let you know if we need more lift at coast.

Car behind also soft power.

For info, Hulkenberg has just stopped onto the medium tyre.

Just manage throttle application turn 6 and 7 and we need more of a lift in turn 12.

OK, so we suggest brake balance plus two and you can do strap 10 as well. That will help manage turn 12. Strap 10.

That's what we do think from the cars ahead. Soft, they're starting to look quite high, I'll let you know.

Happy to start reducing management slightly into 12.

So you're just starting lap 12. Deg looks high across the field. That pushes us towards plan A. But we have had the leaders stop, so we think you might see Norris in around three laps. He's on the medium.

OK, so you can try brake balance plus one, plus the turn one and four, just to help with slip.

And let me know how aerobalance has been this stint.

Difficult answer. I guess OK. OP.

Far behind is Norris. We don't want to lose too much time with him.

Fernando, we're only going to lose time with Norris and Gasly, who's behind Lawson for now, so I'm happy to keep on this plan.

The car behind is Gasly. He stopped on to the medium four laps ago.

Yeah, don't worry, I think we are not in a race anyway, so we'll do our plan. Let's see.

From our side, deg is 40-50% higher than expected. Soft looks worse than we thought.

Box this lap. We don't want to lose time with these cars behind. Copying.

So it's tyre green, dry-R. Tyre green, dry-R and shape 3.

It'll be tight with Lawson on exit. Bortoleto just behind him.

Lawson and Bortoleto both on hard tyres. Lawson stopped two laps ago.

We go to target lap.

A3rd, we are still looking at plan A. Stop lap.

Lance ahead is five lap medium.

Land should let you go into 1. So you're now on lap 19.

Just ahead of Albon, you've got Hulkenberg who's on 14 lap medium.

You can consider death mid-five if you've got more understeer compared to slip-on.

Let's get Strat 11.

Happy to reduce brake balance. Attacking Hulkenberg.

So car ahead, Hadjar, is on 10 lap older mediums. He's been doing high 39s.

Reset brake balance plus two.

There's nothing happening on track but for info, full safety car window open.

So box to overtake Hadjar. Box opposite Hadjar.

I'll set a torque 12 just to help the rears.

So you're now starting lap 30. You've got Ocon, Antonelli and Verstappen cars behind. They're all on one or three-lap-hold tyres. Just need to not lose too much time with them.

Yeah, yeah, don't worry mate. We are not in the race.

Possible debris left-hand side between turn three and four. Might be on the racing line.

We are now on lap 32.

Safety car, safety car, so run switch safety car, keep it positive. We'll be boxing.

Copy, Box. Just have a think about air balance.

Idea. OK, I guess.

So, Fox, this lap will leave the air balance. Go green, Fox.

Remember to push the safety collar.

For the sake of our line, watch out for Hadjar. I don't get the delta positive.

Who benefits from this safety car?

I mean, we did benefit and Hadjar didn't. Lawson, Lance, Albon.

Now? When we did? Yes.

Yes, yeah. So we are all in the same strategy.

So you've got Tsunoda, Pierre Levin, Bearman, Antonelli. They've chosen the soft tyre.

So tell me which strategy cars around. Five in front, five behind.

That's three cars at the back on soft and hard mid, same lap as you.

The four cars ahead, Tsunoda, Bearman, Albon, Antonelli, they stopped the same lap as you. They fitted either the soft or the medium. Albon's medium, the other three are soft. The two cars behind you didn't stop, so they're on a five-lap hold hard and a six-lap hold medium.

On this tyre, Fernando, I'm happy to lean on it. It doesn't need too much manoeuvre, it's just lifting.

Now we're happy to do shape 3 for performance. We just need a little bit less than close for the surface temps.

You can reduce lift at coast by 50 a lap, mainly in turn 1.

Sixteen laps to go. We are thinking about trying plan B.

There's no drama on track. Safety car windows are both open.

Still happy to reduce lift at coast into 1 and turn 4. We can try shape 3 as well. Recommend shape 3.

That's 11 laps to go.

Recommend the mid five for the low speed understeer.

So VSC window closed, safety car window is open.

OK, that's six laps to go. We'd like second gear in turn eight, if you can. Second gear turn eight.

OK, so that's four laps to go. Both safety car windows closed. No action on track.

HPTO. HPTO.

There's two laps to go. You could do Strat 6.

So, info, Lawson, 11 ahead. That's a 15 second penalty. Just keep the pace up. I know you're doing your best. Do it, great.

OK, so final lap. Can we get Strat 5, please?

OK, mate, that's the flag. Good effort.

I have to say this, I won't milk it, that's P16. If we could just get a couple of switches, run switch warm-up, and then it's MFB blue override position 12. MFB blue override position 12.
