OK, radio check, Lance.

Loud and clear. So seven and a half minutes till we go. Starting the race on inter.

And then it'll be drying and we'll just have to see how long we can make it go. Do we have to fit a direct tyre or can we take the inter to the rain and then fit another inter? So we'll just keep communicating. I'm adding aero balance. You'll get to the initial laps where the temps are low and then you'll need the pump.

Okay, Lance, so just over five minutes, tyres fitted, and we just try and keep them alive as long as we can. That's the main goal on this Inter, so that when the rain comes we can either stay on the Inter or fit a new Inter. If we can avoid putting a dry on in the middle, that will save us huge amounts of race time. Okay, we'll just keep communicating.

Okay, Lance, so the formation lap will be behind the safety car. I don't know how many formation laps they're doing in the safety car, it could just be one, but that's what they're doing, so.

Three minutes till we go. Three minutes.

Okay, Lance, so we're at two minutes. Two minutes until we go. DRS is disabled, so they won't enable it initially. We'll let you know when it's enabled.

All cars on inters. All cars on inters.

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

OK, Lance, so safety car has the leader in six. It will be a standing start, so you'll be coming around like normal for a standing start.

Heart procedure was all good, all good.

Copy that, Lance.

We hear a lot of comments of track pretty dry.

We're ready with tyres, Lance.

It's not dry enough, though. That's clear. That's clear, Lance. Thank you.

Russell and Leclerc came in for a tyre, just for info.

Oh, it's too wet. Yeah, copy that, Lance. Stay out. OK, so we'll go to the grid to do the start. Four burnouts. It'll be second gear. Remember, K-0 hold.

Make sure you go to the correct grid slot because there's some cars missing. Make sure you go to your correct grid slot. Watch this sign.

No bright point find in race 2. Race 2. Make sure you go to the right slot.

VST, VST, get plus positive on delta time, just positive on delta time.

It's a double yellow between five and six. Double yellow between five and six.

So Lawson has stopped on the right-hand side two thirds of the way down this straight. It's double yellow where Lawson is.

We will have run switch safety car, run switch safety car. What do you think about sector 3 wet conditions? How wet? Still very wet, man. Yeah, that's what we see, that's why we ask. Then the rest of it's getting dry, obviously.

Pitches, damp patches, HPD on when you can.

Single yellow, turn nine. Single yellow. Bortoleto stopped. Exit of turn nine, I think, on the right.

Dry runners are five seconds slower, so not quite crossover yet.

It's just the last sector. Yeah, understood, Lance. I think in this scenario we're thinking about it, so...

So right now, if we pit, we'll come out ahead of the other people who are already on dry in this current gap.

The VSC taking the tyre now and then in six laps time when it rains more, we'll come back, but you'll be ahead of all the dry runners right now and then you'll make up a lot of race time.

It'll be tyre green dry R, tyre green dry R now, please. Tyre green dry R.

Yeah, copy that. We're prepared to go back.

Box now, Lance, box now. Box now, Ryan. Yes, sir.

Yes, box now, box, big rain coming.

Tyre white, enter R when you can. Tyre white, enter R.

Tyre, right, enter, R. Tyre, right, enter, R before you leave.

Higher wipes in for R. Higher wipes in for R.

Okay, Hulkenberg at exit, Hulkenberg at exit.

It's going to get wetter, but let's manage the high speed, manage the high speed.

Ocon ahead on old grained inters. Just need to look after the rear left so we don't hurt it.

I've rearranged from turn 78 for two to three minutes.

Good job, Lance. You're P4 right now.

Very heavy rain, two or three laps. Just stay on the track and you'll be good.

It's very heavy. Just keep it on track. Keep it on track.

All you have to do is stay on track. Don't worry about the other cars. Just stay on track. You're doing great.

Hulkenberg is 1.3 behind. Hulkenberg 1.5 behind.

Safety car, safety car, Lance. Slow down, get plus one delta time. Positive on delta time. Tornado on target, man, it's too much rotor. Yeah, understood, Lance, understood.

We can see that your tear-offs have some air in it. If we remove all the tear-offs, that'll be better, but obviously then you have no tear-offs.

We think the rain is stopping now and then it'll be drying.

Anything you can do will help. Safety car in this lap, Lance. Safety car in this lap.

Just take care up to turn nine. Keeping it on track is the priority.

Safety car, safety car, stay out. Get plus positive on delta time. Positive on delta time. Plus.

The tyre temp you have. Hadjar went off at nine. Okay, very good job, Lance. Tyres are cold, very difficult.

Double yellow, turn nine, double yellow, turn nine.

There's a recovery vehicle on track at turn nine, so double yellow for the vehicle on track turn nine.

Good job on weaving, good job on tyres, keep it up.

OK, sorry, Lance, this is the softest upshift setting, so I know it's brutal.

When it was running under inter, there were some overtakes on the outside of 9, so it seems like there was grip.

Hulkenberg, one behind. Good job.

Hulkenberg 1.3 behind. Good job.

Rear left is getting warm now, so start thinking about that tyre to help it.

Cool left-hand side tyres when you can. Hulkenberg still one behind.

Good job, Hulkenberg 1.3. Cool the left side tyres when you can. Find damp patches.

Good job. Rear left temp is stable. Keep finding damp patches. Hulkenberg 1.5.

Good job, Lance. You're really taking care of the tyres and the gap is two behind. Really good.

Good job. Rear left temp is the limit, otherwise it's clearly still in there.

Hamilton has passed Gasly. Hamilton's catching Hulkenberg. So in a few laps, Hamilton will be at Hulkenberg. Hamilton very fast.

We're doing a better job than everyone on the high-speed management. Very good.

Hulkenberg's pushing more now. He's basically faster in 1, 2 and 9.

Track is starting to dry now. Temps are coming up on the track.

Yeah, copy that, Lance. Just need to hang out a couple more laps till it's dry. You're doing a great job.

Yeah, but you're doing awesome. You're doing awesome. Just hang in there. A couple more laps.

DRS enabled. DRS enabled. They have it behind. Do you have energy?

It's okay. Just a couple more laps. You're still in a great position. Big gap behind.

Gap behind is seven seconds, so you're good here, you're safe here.

Fifty car window is open, Lance. Doing good.

It's all very close, very soon, Lance.

You're still hanging in there. A lap or two. We're looking good.

Being similar to Gasly behind, you still have a good gap behind.

Use everything now. Use everything now.

Use all the tyre now, Lance.

Fernando boxed already, but he's struggling. He's struggling.

Stay out, stay out.

Give it one more lap, Lance. One more lap. Good job.

Fernando still struggling.

Two tyre runners still struggling, so stay out. We'll stay out.

And the tyres are still working and Alonso is still struggling. Lance doing a very good job. Gap behind is still five.

You're doing amazing, though. Great job.

Car behind is Verstappen, three behind. Fernando is now finally going faster on the dry tyres, so it's now coming there to the window.

And we're going to box now, Lance, box now.

We're boxed now, Lance. Pit confirm.

OK, tyre green dry R now. Tyre green dry R. Tyre green dry R.

Hit that tyre. There you go.

Careful on exit. Careful on exit. You'll have some traffic on exit. Just take care on exit.

This is the wettest part here, Lefs.

Ok, Lance, just keep it on track until the temps get up. You're doing an amazing job.

We'll be nine to go next time. Everyone's on dry tyres now. Big group of cars are nine behind.

8 to go. Pace is good. Gap behind is good.

Still debris offline, turn 6. Good job, Lance.

Seventh go at the line. Gap behind is still eight.

B6 to go at the line. You're quicker than Verstappen, who's eight behind.

Six to go. Great job.

Five to go. Gap behind still eight.

Really good, Lance. Forward to go with the line.

Yeah, you're doing amazing. All good, all good.

It's okay, it's okay.

Try torque 11. Torque 11.

Two laps to go, including this one.

Lance, it's OK. I need an MFA when you can.

When you can, Lance, it's MFA grey, default C, 1-2-OK. MFA grey, default C, 1-2-OK.

Good job, good job. It'll be one minute to go to the line. You can hold your position. Great job.

Starting last lap. Plenty of energy.

Plenty of energy. Use energy.

Plenty of energy, use it all.

Feel plenty of energy pushing hold of the line.

Checkered flag, Lance. Checkered flag.

Despite all that, Lance, you finished P7. You did amazing, man, with the car you have under you. That was brilliant drive, OK? Really good.

I need MFA off first, Lance, sorry. MFA off and then we do that MFP.
