Come on.

Fernando, that's six minutes. You got me there. Copy, thumbs up. Perhaps if you just give the radio check as well. Radio check, Fernando. Yeah. Thumbs up.

Yeah, radio check. Yes, all good.

OK, Fernando, so that's just under two minutes now. We've got the tyres in, so quite a few cars around you are on hard, so you've got Lawson and Hulkenberg, the row ahead, they're on hard.

You've got Lance on the medium and then you've got Bearman and Gasly. Gasly's in the pitlane, they're both on hard. Ahead of them you've also got Hamilton in P12, Russell P5 on the hard, everyone else medium.

So, ten seconds.

It's now just under one minute. Thanks for watching!

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

We'll see if you get the opportunity just to lean on the tyres in the straight line before turn one, but we can make a bit of space when we do get to turn one itself.

Approach was minus nine. Nine under target.

Priority is to push through sector 1 where we can. High speed weaving up to turn 4 as

We'll take the max weaving you can any straight line. We need a hundred lift before turn four.

I need to make a bit of space. Exit 8.

High speed weaving up to turn 11.

Turn 11, a 1.50 lift.

And then just some low speed scooping in this sector now.

Priority is to weave all the way to 17 as much as you can.

No lift required before turn 17. No lift.

Slow speed scripting if you're waiting in 17 and then just stay on the racing line.

That will be two burnouts, two burnouts. Remember, press and hold K0.

Do red switch right once you've stopped.

Minus twenty-two.

Directly double yellow into WAP.

DRS will be active turn 8 this lap.

It's a VSC, VSC, so run switch safety car. Keep it positive. Do it. Stopped. I was in the middle of overtaking, of course.

Pop Dewitt just off to the right-hand side. Entry 14. Just watch out for him.

Correct tyre tips are okay for us.

Strat 11 and HPP off.

This car is still in the same spot, but it's just starting to move now, so it might not be too long.

2-inch car effect. Clearing the circuit now, so bottom middle.

DRS is now enabled.

Possible rain in 20 laps. It will be heavy if it hits, but we're not sure it'll hit yet. I'll keep you updated.

So we think that weather's coming slightly earlier now. Maybe 10 to 13 laps and it will be heavy. Not sure it'll be survivable on slicks.

Now on lap 8.

Rain chances increasing. It will be in around 10 laps now on lap 9. It will come from turn 17, turn 7 first.

Copy, we're having a look.

I mean, I was at 13 kph.

Weather update. So there are two cells about 10 laps apart. The first cell may hit in 5-6 laps, if it doesn't, there is more rain behind it, but make sure you need to be able to get to that second cell in another 10 laps after that.

We do not see any issues with the car for now. We are catching that group ahead. Let's make sure we've got the tyre that gets the second on the cell.

How on lap? 40.

We think the first cell is now likely to miss the circuit, so we're looking at the second cell, so that's around 13 laps from now.

Weather update. So we still think rain in around nine laps. May be looking lighter now, so we think for now it may be survivable on slicks.

A bit of an air rebalance when you can.

I think I finished the Rius, but not because of the aerobalance.

You still see everything OK with the car?

So we cannot see any issue with the car on data. This is just what we've got.

Rain in five minutes. It'll be light. Might just be turn 17, turn 7 in the region.

And the next range behind that is a good 20-30 laps afterwards. A long time from now.

So there are three cars behind. The first one is Hadjar, fitted hard this lap. Then also Ocon, Bortoleto close behind him. They're vying back.

For possible light rain any time now. We do expect it to be light. May just be turn 17 and turn

Let's get strat 7. Strat 7. Starting lap 27 now.

Consider shape 2 if front locking is a problem. Consider shape 2.

How many laps left?

29 end of this one. You may see Tsunoda at pit exit.

VSC, VSC, we'll stay out. OK. No, don't insult me.

Well, maybe some throttle rein, I don't know.

If it's not raining, we need to stop for dry ice.

What did they do? Box, box, box.

Tire green, dry air before you stop. Let's switch race.

Just reset your brake balance as well.

So we have no concerns on tyre life, it's just watching the sliding like normal, just to manage the performance.

So Hulkenberg and Gasly have not stopped yet. They're both on the hard from the start of the race. Both are inside our pit window for now and you're just ahead of Hulkenberg as well. So this is okay.

Looks like Bortoleto has stopped after turn 16, left-hand side.

Run the switch, safety car, keep it positive or stay out.

Make sure you're close to your delta. Gasly is stopping, just in case you're in a slow stop and want to be close to delta.

Be clear of pit exits, just make sure you're positive.

The car is behind the wall, it may not be too long.

Okay, so Hulkenberg has still not stopped. He's just two seconds inside of that window for now, so we want to make sure he's there. Quicker than ever so far in this lap.

So we think Hulkenberg will stop this lap. We should be happy it'll be close.

There's now 19 laps to go. We do expect a laughing event.

OK, that is now 16 to go.

Car behind is now race leader Piastri. He's four back, so expect a lapping event in around two laps.

Got me now 11 to go.

There's a blue flag for Piastri and Norris is four behind him.

They've got a big gap behind them. Won't be any more blue flags after that.

OK, that's seven laps to go.

That's two laps to go. Let's go. Strat 6. Strat 6.

This will be the final lap. Strat 5.

And this will be the flag, so let's get a slow in lap. If you hate PP off.

OK, then let's run switch warm-up.

And then MFB blue, override position at 12.

Switch is good. Thanks, Fernando. It's nice to be in lap. Take the pick-up where you can.
