OK, radio check Fernando. Just give you a shout when you go in.

Yep, ready to check. All good mate, just under six minutes now.

OK, Fernando, just give me a quick radio check again.

Yep, rear check. Yeah, that's all good, mate. So, two and a half minutes to go, we've got the tyres in. So, everyone around you is medium. You've got Hamilton, Antonelli on hard there, P12, P13. And then you've got Hulkenberg, P17, Bearman, P19, Tsunoda, P20 on hard. There's five cars on hard. The first one is P12, Hamilton.

It's Dax to radio check.

Yeah, good.

That's now one minute.

Okay, launch was minus three, so you can do some high-speed weaving and then push through turn 234 if you can. Any high-speed weaving you can before turn five, and then we need 75 left. Keep the speed up in turn five-six.

Good stop and then you can make a bit of space in turn 7. Any straight line you can do high speed weaving is good.

High speed weaving, a very small lift and then pushing through turn nine.

100 lift before 11, but you can keep the speed at 11.12.

Put the high speed weaving wherever we can to the end of the lap.

Make a bit of space here.

No lifting coast into 17 to put the weaving in a good stop.

Make sure you stay on the racing line now. It will be three burnouts. Three burnouts. Remember, press Alt-K-0 during the burnouts.

We're happy to strip the fronts as well, while you're waiting.

Run switch race when you stop.

That's minus 30.

You'll have DRS detection at turn 16 this lap.

Ocon has already stopped onto a hard tyre from the back.

Now on lap four.

So, not urgent, Fernando, but I'll just take some air balance feedback when you come.

OK, so far.

OK, so now on lap nine. Deg so far is close to model.

Fernando, I'll take some tyre feedback when you come.

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

Gasly has just hit now for P40.

I think there is a little bit of graining, also for Norris and for us.

Left rear.

Suggested torque 12 to help manage the rears. Now on lap 11.

Leclerc is in from P11.

Apply a green dry-er before you stop.

You'll have signs on hard tyre, Ocon, close by. You can use energy where you need.

OK, so all the cars were racing. Fernando, they have stayed out. They are still within the pit window. So it's just making sure we get this to the end and we have some time left. So just do what you need to do. 49 to go.

So we're happy with what you're doing. The main concern is just to look after the fronts in the higher speed, the combine.

But the medium was only rear limited.

So the medium was not badly damaged at the rear, it's just very hot, so it's all about managing surface temp, so watch slip exits 7 and 15.

Any feedback on the race or the pace?

So, main point for you, Fernando, is that Albon is the first car we're racing that stayed out, so he's still two seconds inside the pit window, and we have been matching in the last few laps. I'll keep you updated.

Copy. Tell Lance to get closer.

So, Fernando, is this still the slip management for us? We are happy with what you're doing, but just for rears, it's just focusing on the rear slip. So 7, 13, 15.

Let's get Strat 7. Strat 7. Albon still one second inside pit window.

Well, this you can forget. Sainz overtook me with the same age tyre.

So, we need to focus on behind Albon.

I need more understeer in turn 9. So which high speed diff you recommend?

So you can revert on the high speed diff setting you just changed and then use right toggle for turn 9. Right toggle turn 9. I need more understeer.

OK, so high speed 10 is OK. High speed 10 OK.

So, yeah, think about what is behind Albon and if Lance comes close.

OK, so the next car doing the same as Albon is Hadjar. He's seven seconds behind him and he would have more cars to come through, so he wouldn't be directly behind you.

We'll just see what these hard runners that are still out would be at the end of the race on the medium when they've hit it.

Okay, so consider shape five. Consider shape five. That's just to be forwards at high pressure. Just for...

Ocon has stopped on track, maybe inside of turn seven.

It's purple-yellows where you are now. Keep the delta, keep it positive.

Staying out, just keep it as close to the delta as you can.

Quite a few people in the pitlane as well, so just keep close to the delta, you'll see some cars in the pitlane.

Yeah, our race is over. We are so unlucky anyway. The race was good, but everything is wrong for us this year.

OK, so we're in the double yellows again, just keeping on the delta.

The tyre itself has plenty of wear life. It should be in good condition, it's just about to get the tips down. Yeah, OK mate. Race is over anyway, so... Yeah, copy.

Yeah, I don't know what Hamilton is doing. Plus five seconds. Yeah, a lot of reports as well, but just stay close to him.

UPSC ending. Run switch race. Run switch race.

OK, Fernando, so we are currently P8. Obviously there's quite a few cars behind that did stop, but let's do what we can. P8 for now. 31 to go. HPP on.

Do you want to drop back?

Lance is now the car behind so we can try and drop back to help him.

Car behind Lance is Russell. Three-lap hold hard.

So Lancers have DRS again. We can use energy into 2 if you need, just to not box him in.

Consider left throttle for turn 9.

Throttle may be low on energy, so just using a late press.

Hulkenberg is on the seven lap medium.

OK, that's Sainz behind his hard tyres with the BSC.

OK, so it's 22 to go at the end of this one. Tsunoda behind us, medium tyre from the VFC.

Yeah, it's gonna be a torture.

There's no strategy. Not even safety car or anything like that will help us. Let's see.

Yeah, we are working on it, mate. We're having a look. We're not giving up.

It's gonna be virtual. Hopefully safety car or red flag or whatever they want.

Safety car, safety car. Stay out for now. Oh, box. No, it's to avoid going lap down. Stay out. We will lap ourselves. Why do you want me to creep out?

Box or not? Stay out, stay out. Oh, come on!

To confirm, we will stop this lap.

And have a think about aero balance. It'll be 17 to go, end of this one.

Just get very close to your delta at the safety car line and then you can put...

Red switch race. You can do that now. Red switch race.

Clear at pit exit. Clear at pit exit.

Pull into the safety car line and get the delta positive.

You have been past the safety car line twice, so you can push, just watch. Turn seven, it's yellow there. Double yellow at turn seven, just after where you are now.

And then you can go red switch race. We don't have to follow the deltas anymore.

Recovery vehicle on track at turn 7. 16 to go. You have 17 lap newer tyres than the four cars ahead of you, so it could be interesting.

Just keeping the double yellow. Turn 8 where you are now. We're happy to be in race. Race is okay for us.

The tyre temps where they are now are okay.

Safety cars at just entry turn 9 now.

The cars in P10-11, Hulkenberg, Tsunoda, they're both on 19 lap old medium now.

If it's still double yellow at turn 7, it's extended a bit all the way to turn 9 now as well. Be aware for that.

I'll be on it all the way up to turn nine.

So over the start-finish where the AWS bridge is, so where it goes right and you just put the horn in there, if you could just stay at least half a car width to the left-hand side of where you were. That's just going to help the bottoming level.

The car has been recovered now. It's quite a recovery vehicle to get off circuit, so it might not be too long.

When we do get going, it'll be, so it's 13 to go, end of this one.

Safety car is still out. It's just thermal management for performance, as you know.

Yeah, absolutely nothing on track.

Six to twelve to go now, just watch that front right, Tim.

Safety car is staying out, so there'll be one more lap like this. I want to finish the race like this or what?

Energy's good, so you can do that now. Safety car's gone, so it's waiting for Verstappen.

Safety car is in the pitlane now.

DRS will now be active. Gap 3.7 ahead. You can use early energy again when you need.

I have to do shape three and you can do brake balance one or two clicks rearwards.

Two cars ahead are medium, not hard.

And that's now five laps to go. Five to go.

Tsunoda ahead will not have DRS.

Hulkenberg does have DRS. Four to go.

Strat 6. Three laps to go. Strat 6.

Exit this corner. You can exit final corner. Push and hold.

And push and hold out the final corner.

OK mate, that is the flag.

You'll need MFB blue override position 12. MFB blue override position 12.

Unfortunately, I noticed attempts for the guys, if you could just be a bit steadier.

Good effort, good effort. I suffer.

It's not fair. Unbelievable, I mean, 100 races, only 99.

Only one of the 99 will be enough.

It has to be the one of hundred.

Fernando, P1. If you can resort to P1, then P0.
