Radio check left.
17:52:16
Loud and clear. Just under eight minutes till we go. Eight minutes.
17:55:16
Just under five minutes until we go. Five minutes.
17:57:31
Okay, Lance, at the moment we can't see what other tyres people are on, so we'll just have to see by eye. Anyway, two and a half minutes till we go. Two and a half minutes.
17:58:26
So I think Tsunoda behind and then Bortoleto, Sainz, Ocon on hard.
17:58:36
And one and a half minutes till we go, Lance. One and a half.

18:00:25
Vroom, vroom, vroom.
18:00:48
Okay, you can lean on it in one if you can, but definitely make space at two.
18:00:59
Start was on target.
18:01:11
OK, make some space here. And then after turn two, high-speed weaving and then lift and brake for three. High-speed weaving here, lift and brake for three.
18:01:23
Push through here. Brake for six.
18:01:39
OK, we'll have big weaving, big weaving here, lots of weaving, and then lift and brake for eight.
18:01:52
A more high-speed weaving here and then another 50 meter lift and brake.
18:02:02
One scrubbing through here and just make some space so you can do some weaving between 11 and the last bit. A little space here.
18:02:16
We'll have good strong weaving here.
18:02:23
One more small listed brake.
18:02:37
So, Lance, K-0 hold. Four burnouts short and crisp on the racing line. Four burnouts short and crisp on the racing line. K-0 hold.
18:06:49
Stay on line through 12 and 13. There's water on the driver's right offline.
18:09:39
Brake balance plus two, plus two for rear protection.
18:12:14
We have margin on brakes, so we'll take another brake balance one click forward. The cars behind are Lawson and Gasly, pitlane starters, both on hard.
18:13:33
After last corner, go to Strat 7. Strat 7 on start-finish straight.
18:16:08
Tyres are looking good. Your exit management is better than the other car, especially 2 and 10. Good job.
18:19:35
Medium runners starting to struggle now with graining.
18:20:00
Consider torque 12 for stability. Torque 12. How are the tyres doing? How are they holding up?
18:23:29
So Fernando boxed on to hard, so he's three positions back. He's behind Gasly on new hard.
18:24:14
Copy that, Lance. We see it.
18:27:52
Albon and Hulkenberg are the only medium runners left. Hulkenberg just boxed. All this group ahead is hard.
18:28:43
We have Lawson behind and Fernando is very close behind Lawson.
18:29:09
For all the hard runners, including yourself, the rear left looks like the limitation.
18:29:24
Okay, we have Fernando behind. Fernando behind as you can let him through when you can.
18:32:37
Albon ahead on race start medium. He may box this lap.
18:33:56
I'm still talking about plan A, Lance, so I'm thinking about plan A.
18:34:23
Box now, Lance. Box now.
18:34:41
Tyre green dry R. Tyre green dry R. We'll be close to Albon in pit exit.
18:34:47
We have energy available.
18:35:10
Albon 1.8 behind. He's on first time on new hard.
18:35:31
With this two-stop on the better track, you can use some pace here. We're right on the window of Bortoleto.
18:38:30
Lance, MFB, PU1 to position 3. MFB, PU1, position 3. That will take away the clipping into 5.
18:39:21
Cars who haven't boxed, they're doing 17.6, so this pace is really good to reel them in.
18:39:32
We don't know if they're one-stop or two-stop, but if they're one-stop, this pace is pulling them in.
18:39:46
And Albon behind you could also be on a one-stop because he's started medium and he's on hard now. And we're matching his pace right now. It's good.
18:46:09
It was a very good lap, so we'll catch this pack, maybe we'll get into the middle of it a little bit, and then later we'll be boxing onto the medium, we'll catch them again and go through them.
18:46:28
Can you repeat? They're on a one-stop, we're on a two-stop, so we'll catch them and then catch them again later.
18:48:44
Very, very good laps. The group ahead, the leaders, doing 17.7.
18:50:50
Bearman ahead. His tyre is six laps older. Everyone else's tyres are 15 laps older.
18:54:42
HPP on. HPP on when we can.
18:58:33
Very good job, Lance. Just keep the pressure on them. You see they're starting to make mistakes.
18:59:50
Gasly ahead. He started on those tyres. They're 44 laps old.
19:00:47
Good job, Lance. Awesome.
19:01:32
The front of the group ahead is Bortoleto. He's on race start tyres, 45 lakhs old.
19:09:17
Now, Lance, box now. I need a big lift before 13 for temperature. Box now.
19:09:35
Lance, we have a 10-second penalty, a 10-second hold, so keep the revs low. The penalty is for Gasly.
19:10:06
All right, Lance, 18 to go. Let's just bang out some good laps. We'll catch up to the group.
19:12:47
Good lap. Lawson six ahead on old tyres.
19:16:33
0.7 quicker than Gasly. He's on same tyre.
19:18:09
Gasly is doing 15.5. You're much quicker.
19:19:21
You can ignore fuel alarms. No worries on fuel.
19:26:05
Hadjar and Bortoleto ahead of Gasly are very old tyres, like 50X.
19:26:20
Five laps to go. Five laps.
19:27:33
Double yellow 1-2. Norris has crashed in one. It's yellow and a double yellow through 1-2.
19:27:41
It's Norris there, double yellow, 1-2. Safety car, safety car, stay out, get plus positive on delta time, positive on delta time.
19:28:05
Those were awesome laps, man. Awesome.
19:29:01
Do you want a fresh tyre, Lance? Just in case there's a one-lap restart? Might as well.
19:29:05
Might as well, yeah. So we're boxed now, Lance. Remember, pitlane speed limiter, pitlane speed limiter.
19:32:10
It's three times past, so you're allowed to pack up. The safety car is in 10. Back to the pitlane.
19:34:19
Coming around to the checker. We believe it'll be on track. I'll let you know what the safety car does.
19:35:18
Checkered flag, Lance. Checkered flag.
19:36:15
And just hold your position, Lance, because it's still in a safety car status, so don't overtake anybody.
19:38:28
Okay, Lance, remember, we've got a P0, P0. Really good pace. Let's build on that going forward. Good job.
