OK, Fernando, radio check. Copy.

Yeah, I'm ready to check. Yeah, you're good. That's six and a half minutes now. Dex, if you want to go ahead as well. Ready to check, Fernando.

Yep, all good.

Fernando, radio check from the pit wall.

Yeah, all good. Yeah, copies. That's now five minutes to go.

Hey, Fernando, so that's three and a half minutes now. Put the tyres in. So, majority are on medium. You've got Norris P10 on hard. Hadjar in P14 is hard. And also Lance, obviously, P16 hard. Hulkenberg P18 hard as well.

Copy. You tell me the target also now for the formation.

Just repeat your question Fernando. Yeah, you watch it now when I do the formation lap. Yes, copy. I'll give you the feedback.

That's now one minute.

It's minus 35.

Launch was plus six. It's happy to make space in one, two and all the way to four. Priority is to have high speed from four to ten.

And then high speed weaving to turn 13. We need 150 lift. Need to make more space in 13 if you need.

We need a 100 lift before 16 and then lean on tyres and weave after 17.

Turn 22. We need a 1.50 left.

Use high speed weaving after the 23 as well.

And it will be four burnouts. Fernando, four burnouts.

So you can use K0 during the burnouts. We can do a little bit of steer during the burnouts as well.

So, a ruttish race once you've stopped.

It's minus 23.

Fernando, safety car, safety car. Run switch safety car, keep the delta positive.

Focus on front temps, OK?

I need a brake balance off cool. Yeah, that's okay for us. Red switch cool, that's okay.

So the car's on the left-hand side. Turn 4-5. The safety car will go through the run-off at turn 5. It will cut turn 5. Just follow the safety car.

So you're doing what you can, but front temps, we just don't want to drop, so these temps are okay.

Fernando, so we are now P10. Just have in your mind it will be plan A plus.

Plus ten, thirteen, something like that.

So front brakes are getting on the hotter side now, so this is OK. Just do what you can weaving. Yeah, also the rears, I mean, why they are not cooling down?

Still double yellow at turn 45. Safety car on the stay on track this time. Stay on track.

Safety car in this lap.

We have no run stage race.

Yeah, crazy. You need to check from 22.27 what is going on.

DRS out of 17th this lap.

B-Bal plus two has introduced a bit of lift and coast in the big stops.

I can't. As soon as I lose the DRS, I'm dead.

That late press into turn 13 is sustainable. Lawson has lost DRS.

Yeah, I don't know how I lost the DRS, how I beat the DRS in the straight before. I'm dead now.

Strat 10. Lawson behind still does not have DRS.

Yeah, I cannot keep up this pace. I mean, this is crazy. The level of risk. Unbelievable.

Yeah, maybe we need to box.

It's OK, I think. Copy, Bearman behind 1.5 back, 1.5 DRS.

Yeah mate, this level of cushion is not sustainable.

Copy, Fernando. So Bearman dropping back for now, so this is OK. Tyres are past the peak of pressure as well. They are coming back down.

I'm going to use this tyre now. Yeah, I mean, you've finished the flat.

Sorry, I guess I'm out of balance.

Tyre green, dry arm. Point stop.

Push on the outlap.

Oscar, can you see Bearman? Turn 1, he might be behind you.

Airbrake closed with Lawson in exit.

52 and 27. That is for tyre temp. Keep the temps down.

Wow, I moved under braking. That was close.

Wow, so close. Check the car.

Yeah, copyright, we're checking the car, all okay for now.

You can do brake balance rearwards for this if you need.

Is the car OK? Not from now, from the beginning of the race. It doesn't feel normal, the grip level.

Copy. We are checking the car. I'll let you know.

Doohan, car ahead, 26 laps, hold hard.

What about the cars in front? Who are they?

And ahead of him there's Hulkenberg and Ocon, their 27-20 lap old hard tyre.

Ahead of Hulkenberg, there's Albon. He's six laps behind.

It'll be 21 laps to go now. We do see some...

Minor debris caught on the car from earlier, but we don't see a change in aero balance or aero load.

And in from the hard tyre.

So hard is close to model for now.

This is Lance with the same tyre.

And is he happy with the balance?

Set. A bit stable for him. If anything, it's improving now. Maybe small understeer creeping in. Understood.

Copy. Can I do something to help him or is it good?

There's not much we can do for Lance right now. The two races are quite separate.

Just confirming Lance is still fairly happy on that hard tyre. He's now got 32 laps. We can reduce lifting.

Ocon, ahead is 30 in one lap apart.

Burnout now with understeer in 22.

OK, it'll be 14 to go, end of this one.

So it's 12 to go. Lawson ahead has a 10 second penalty.

Fernando, just make sure you're driving to the number on the dash. You can have a small lift in six and seven tyres.

That's now ten laps to go.

Let's do Strat 7. Strat 7. Happy to reduce any sectoral management you are doing.

Consider pit 5. Bit corner understeer.

What fuel number are you happy with? Has to be zero?

Minus 0.05 is okay on the dash.

Select Strat 5. This is the final lap. Strat 5.

It will be an early energy press. Exit turn 22.

OK, Fernando, we need a slow inlap. Slow inlap, so run switch warm-up. We need MFB blue, override position 12. MFB

FB blue override position 12. Switch to warm-up.

Right, so the switches are done. Thank you for that. So, is P11 in the end? You managed to stay within the 10 of Lawson, so well done. A lot of work with P11. Yeah. Two or three people out now of the race. Score one point. Yeah, I think I will never do a race like today. Never. Twenty-five years.

Yeah, copy. Appreciate it, Fernando. Yeah, everything there.
