OK, radio check laps.

1-2-3, 1-2-3.

Radio check, Lance. Sorry, line went down, but radio check now.

Yeah, it's okay. Okay, yeah, you are loud and clear.

Okay, Lance, so eight minutes until we go. Eight minutes.

Track temp is 33 and hasn't changed, so I think we're stabilized now on track temp.

OK, Lance, just over five minutes until we go. Five minutes.

Three minutes till we go, Lance. Three minutes.

Okay, Lance tyres, Bearman in P20 is on soft, Bortoleto and Lawson are on medium, X3 cars are on soft, and then Fernando medium, and then, so the bulk of the cars ahead are on soft, close to you, Lawson and Bortoleto are on medium.

Two minutes till we go, Lance. After the start, just make sure you make a gap so you can push a bit into 1 and then we make another gap in turn 1.

No transcript available

Good. Make a gap and then you can push and weave up to one and then make a gap in one.

Wind is reducing. Wind is reduced 5 kph.

Make some space, try to lean on the tyres 2-3, and then we'll have weaving between 3 and 4, and then a lift and brake into 4.

We'll have weaving on this straight and then a 50 meter lift and good brake into 4.

Getting on the tyres through here.

Brake into 8. Easy through 8.

Before 10, make a gap in 10.

Make a gap so you can weave on this straight and then we'll have a lift and brake into 11.

We'll lean on the tyres here. We'll have a good lift into...

Punching up here, we just make a gap here so we can push down that straight and then we'll have a lift and brake into 14.

Just a 50 meter lift into 14, please.

Okay, Lance, it'll be K-0 hold for four burnouts, four burnouts.

OK, Lance, no bite point find. You were target minus 16 on the formation start.

DRS enabled.

Take another K-0 when you can do one.

Pay zero when you can.

Come on, tyres, Lance. We can do a bit more lift in coast where you can get in.

When you can, we'll go plus two brake balance when we're able to.

Car behind is now Hulkenberg.

OK, Lance, Hulkenberg, Fox, that's very early. We're still on plan A.

Management and lifting post is good, Lance. Hadjar is also on a soft. He's like 2.2 ahead. He's ahead of Lawson.

That's our box. We're still on plan A.

Right now, Lance, it looks like the soft might be better than the medium. We'll see what these early pitstop people look like.

Safety car and VSC windows are open, Lance.

OK, Lance, you can start to use the tyre now. I'm hoping for some pressure on Lawson. You can especially use it more at turn 11.

Let's consider brake balance one click rearwards. Ocon has boxed. He's started on soft.

Since a lot of people have gone early, we might be like A plus five. We're just having a look.

I'm softer, I'm shaking a bit comfortable.

OK, Lance, that was caused by a short shift. So, we're kind of in limbo. Maybe we should go back to a bit more managing. Increase lift and coast again. Just see if we can go a little longer on this.

Okay, Lance, the leaders have boxed, so they'll be arriving at us in a couple laps, so that will be our indicator.

We'll have more lift and coast in turn 1 to help traction.

Brake balance four clicks rearward.

I don't know why I'm suffering with the rear. Box now, Lance, box now.

Tyre, green, dry, R. Tyre, green, dry, R.

Let's push the outlap to get inside Lawson's pit window. I'll give you updates on that.

Hulkenberg is eight ahead. He stopped on the medium nine laps ago.

We're closing on the window, Lance, so keep going like this.

Max is doing 1 minute 40 and we're just getting inside of window now.

Lance, can you go strat 11? Strat 11 now.

OK, Lance, we're safely inside Lawson's window now, so we can begin some good managing.

Brake balance plus three. Brake balance plus three. Something like high one minute thirty nine will allow us to catch up to some people.

Bearman box, he will come out ahead.

Okay, Bearman will come out two seconds ahead, Lawson two seconds behind.

OK, Lance, so let's make this medium go a long way. That's going to help us. Bearman's on a hard. Lawson is also on a hard.

Possible debris from 9 to 11. Surface flag 9 to 11.

Where is Lawson? How far behind? Lawson four behind outlap on hard and he's got Bortoleto right with him.

So Lost went on hard, Bortoleto went on hard, they're four behind. Yeah, copy that.

He's a bit quicker. He's like three seconds behind now. Hulkenberg is six ahead. He's in a similar, he's on the same tyre as us, but older.

Albon is stopping now from a soft. Albon will be like one second ahead.

Hold on one ahead and Fernando will be like two behind.

Lance HPP button on. Lawson on hard doing around 38.

OK, Lance, we need to let Fernando through into turn one. He's on newer tyres. Into turn one, please.

Thank you, Lance. We'll get it paid back later.

OK, Lance, you're both catching Hulkenberg. He's five ahead doing 39.4.

Last lap, Hulkenberg 39.5.

Hulkenberg, 39.4. Lawson, 39.1.

Turn 12 was OK. It's all OK.

Really good job, Lance. This managing level is just right. Turn 12 is just right.

Instead of 12, just delay the full throttle or don't go full throttle.

Lost some DRS, but he's 1.0 behind me.

What else can I do?

OK, ramp sprite torque 12. Torque 12.

Both cars are boxed, leaving pitlane now.

L.A. behind on a soft.

Lance, keep doing what you're doing. Verstappen behind. He just overtook Lawson. Verstappen behind.

Doolin's going to come out behind us.

These guys are stopping early, so extending is still our best option. Doing good.

Is there still a benefit to the ticket posting and really watching slip?

It will definitely help the traction phase that you're struggling with.

Lawson is still there around one second behind on the hard. He's got Doohan on a new hard right behind him.

Kuhn, new hard behind Kuhn.

Lance, watch for debris on the racing line between 3 and 4. Debris racing line between 3 and 4.

Safety car and VSC window open. Don't go full throttle on exit of 12.

Safety car, safety car, safety car.

We're checking Lance to get plus positive on delta time.

OK. Reset right toggle and reset white button. Did he overtake you after safety car, Lance? Yes.

Understood. We've reported.

Reset brake balance, reset brake balance.

You're good on delta time, stay close to the delta time like this.

Box now, Lance. Box now.

Box now. Pit confirm.

OK, Lance, when we're back out there, remember the delta time. Get positive on delta time.

Okay, Lance, so let's build up temp for the restart. We'll do some weaving.

OK, Lance, so Lawson pitted under the safety car on Canoe Soft. Ahead of him, Hulkenberg had already pitted to his last medium, so he's on five-lap-old mediums, so it'll be a struggle for him to go to the end. We think this hard for us is good to the end.

That's two times past, so we don't need to follow the delta. Leader Piastri has safety car into 11.

Keep the weaving going. Get the front temps up.

Lance, can we go MFB PU7 to position 6? MFB PU7 to position 6.

OK, Lance, so the cars ahead who might be in danger, Hadjar and Hulkenberg are on older mediums. They are not on fresh tyres. And then there's two or three cars ahead that went on the soft, so they have to get all the way to the end on the soft, so they will struggle too. So I'd say there's four or five cars ahead who could struggle.

Bortoleto is on a new medium. Safety car will be in this lap, so let's build up temp and brake temp. Leader is in turn four.

DRS enabled.

Consider mid-six. Mid-six.

Brake balance one click forward for rear locking into 8.

Signs ahead. P13 has some damage.

Lance, for lifting post, turn 1 and 14 for brake 10, please. 1 and 14.

Runners on the soft and medium tyres are starting to have more take now.

I left Poggle at turn 14 to help rotation.

We're lifting coast for brake pence. Turn 1, turn 14, turn 4.

Good job, Lance. Stay with it.

Sainz is struggling a lot now.

And that lap's to go, Lance.

Brake temps are under control. You can reduce lift and coast.

Lancia is quicker than Bortoleto everywhere. He just has the DRS. And Fernando is just quicker in 6th, 7th and a bit in 12th.

Seven laps to go.

I have to go, Lance. Doing a good job.

4th to go, Lance. Good laps.

Three to go, Lance. Three more.

Two laps to go. Strat 10. Strat 10.

Starting last lap, Lance, last lap.

Fully energy available out of 10.

Checkered flag, Lance. Checkered flag. Run switch warm-up. Pull the car and get pick-up.

I have HPP off. HPP off.

MFB PU1 to position 12. MFB PU1 to position 12.

Take the pickup, take the pickup and we'll have a run switch warm up, please.

OK, Lance, wasn't too exciting, but good job at the end holding off Bortoleto. Good.
