Radio check, please. Yeah, I'm breaking up a little bit. Radio check again.

Getting better. Cool, hoping to be better once I'm back on the pitwall.

Lando, tyre info. Hard ones today are Hamilton, Antonelli, Hulkenberg, Bearman and Tsunoda who start from the pitlane. Everybody else is on the medium.

Point six.

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

OK, Lando, no full pedal from now on. It's going to be a big lift into turn 17. Launch will be back. You are target plus two.

Lando, it will be purple C6 position 10 before the burnouts. Purple C6 position 10.

Last car approaching the grid.

I know. Purple C7 in position 1. Purple C7 in position 1.

And DRS is enabled.

Russell one ahead, Alonso point nine behind.

Minor. Purple C6 position 11. Purple C6 position 11.

Russell ahead will not have DRS.

Suggest strat 11. Strat 11.

And minor. A says button press. And how's the pace? How are the tyres? Yeah, pace is good. Just stuck in a minute, I think.

Russell complaining about rear tyres. Keep pushing on him.

Yeah, my revs are pretty fucked. Okay, good work from now. Leclerc's the first car that has pitted.

Russell has hit it.

We want to use the pace we've got and try and extend a bit.

And Lando, Leclerc has undercut us already. So, I think we should try and stay out if the tyre might recover a bit.

Lando, unless we can pick the pace up, box this lap.

Strat 7, please. Strat 7.

And Lando, if we can keep this pace up, which is good, happy to stay out.

I have to have pity, because that's not...

Adjust left-hand paddle for turn 17.

How are the tyres? Yeah, pretty fucked. I don't have much more pace than this. They're coming back to me a little bit.

But they're great, I think, so I don't have a look on my face.

And both safety car windows are open, please confirm.

So, Lando, the gap to Russell is 27.8.

We did a 21.3 last lap.

Behind him is Sainz, then Alonso.

So Russell is 28.0, so stable at the moment.

OK, mate, things are good from our side. Tyres look like they're cooling down a bit. Verstappen is doing 21.2s.

OK, Lando, this is really strong, so gap to Russell 29.3.

Lando, opportunity, turn 14, turn 15, more like P1 where you prioritise turn 15.

OK, Lando, picture update behind. So, Russell is 30.3. Leclerc is 26.1. Leclerc's just coming up to the back of four cars who haven't stopped yet. The key for us is free air and going long.

And Lando's suggestion, yellow G2 is better than red A4.

Some feedback on the hard tyre. It's similar to the medium but you need free air to manage the temperatures. Overtaking is as we expected. Oscar did one per lap.

Lando, I think you know, but this will be plan A. Keep giving us feedback about the tyres. Gap to Colapinto, who's P9, 27.3.

And Lando suggests left-hand toggle in turn 7. Gap to Hulkenberg, 27.4. He's P8. I'll stop you.

And just back off the braking a little bit into the chicane. Manage the front right.

Suggest orange E6, orange E6.

Lando picked behind. Hulkenberg 29.2. Then there's four cars ahead of him with Oscar at 23.4 and Hadjar up front at 20.5, so they're a group.

Lando, last lap. Hadjar did a 22.3, so if we keep this pace up it would be about seven more laps if we could.

And if we can't do those laps, it's cool. This is Germany's situation.

Just silver D3, silver D3. So the gap to Leclerc who just overtook Holt is 31.0.

And if the pace is going to go away, we just need to decide where to thread this needle.

Yeah, the pace is going a bit.

Lando, suggest track six, track six and boxers map.

Box this lap. Box this lap.

Launch back, launch back, launch back. We could do outlap 3, stint 2. Outlap 3, stint 2.

Clip close to car there. Fix it.

It's yellow flags to 7.

Virtual safety car deployed, virtual safety car deployed.

Suggest we reset the switches. Orange E8, orange E8. Yellow G4, yellow G4. Expect the cars... It's going to be a while though, so it's better just to do a safety car.

Make sure you're on the delta, please.

Could be close to a car exit.

Still double yellow flags at exit 10-7.

Virtual safety car ending, virtual safety car ending.

And Lando, thinking ahead before looking after the rears on this tyre set, suggest yellow G3, yellow G3.

And Lando suggests right-hand paddle turn seven to look after the rears. That's right-hand paddle turn seven.

And Lando, just be careful of braking too late into turn 14. We need to avoid the double brake.

I just need to manage entry speed into turn nine.

Avoid the light steer lock.

Verstappen ahead 18.2, Oscar the car behind 13.1.

Lando, safety car decision. If there was a safety car, if we pitted a hard, we would come out a couple of seconds behind Oscar. We think we would do it. Yeah, copy that.

And Lando, we'd like some more light over the rear tyres, in particular turn 40.

Antonelli has stopped on the exit of turn 7 where there's yellow flags.

And safety car deployed. Safety car deployed.

Are we taking it? I don't know.

Stand by, please.

Go on, say it. Effectively, I'll come out one position back. You'll come out just behind Oscar. Verstappen has taken it. I think we should take it. Yeah, I'll take it. Yeah. Okay, box is lap replaced.

Er, boxes left.

Remember, it's launch map on once you're in the pitlane.

Launch back, launch back, launch back.

Should be close to Albon exit.

Pretty sure I was ahead. Yeah, we're just checking now.

Lando, we're just checking with the FIA about the album.

The safety car is approaching turn 2 and there is a recovery vehicle on track for Antonelli.

Lando, we were waiting for an instruction with the FIA. The instruction came from them after Albon pitted, therefore we are all good. Cool, we're good.

And thank you for the feedback because we checked with them immediately as soon as you gave it.

Can we have strat 6, please? Strat 6.

For the restart, recommend silver D4, red A5.

And have a think about brake balance before the restart.

And minor, purple, C6, position 10. Purple, C6, position 10.

I see Oscar's tyres are pretty dead. If you want any chance of trying to go for the lead, then I guess we know what to do.

I'm not asking him to let me by. I'm just saying, let's not make it too hard for one another. If we fight, then we can go backwards.

How can I limit rear-locking to the centre of the pit on turn 80, second-to-last corner? I just have massive rear-locking and then massive instability, big push understeer. I just don't know. The balance is a bit all over the place. Too much instability everywhere.

All understood, mate. We'll just take a look.

Now, Lando, the right-hand toggle will help there, and forwards brake balance will help.

So you're happy with where I am on normal running? Copy yellow flags where you are.

Yes, we're happy with where you're running right now.

And the safety car is in this lap. Safety car is in this lap. It's just red A5. Red A5. Think about your brake balance.

And reminder, early overtake is available.

Safety car is in turn 17.

Safe to car in the pitlane.

DRS enabled.

Just strat 11. Strat 11.

And suggest strat 7, strat 7.

Minor. Purple C6 position 11. Purple C6 position 11.

Lando, two laps to go. Do not use the right-hand toggle in turn 7. The paddle is OK though.

P2, mate. Recharge on. ATS button press and maximum pick-up release.

Yeah, what a good race. Clearly, just not the pace we're in today. So, let's keep pushing, guys. I know it's been a lovely start, but not quick enough to win today. So, let's keep it up. Keep working hard. Thank you very much. My pleasure, mate. Long, long way to go. Let's just have fun doing it, all right?

And you'll be coming back to the pitlane.
