Yeah!

Thanks for the radio check. Yes, copy.

Alexa, formation lap will be behind the safety car, confirm?

Yes, copy. Does that mean it's a standing start or do they make the decision later? Yeah, exactly. They'll take a read on it and then confirm.

So it could be either based on conditions or confirm which way to go.

Formation lap running will be go max, just to help rear brakes. There's no offsets other than that.

Thank you for watching.

I think we need to get going.

Can we just get some tyre riser, please?

Also, I don't know if I'm going crazy, but the gear paddles, the gear shifters are very slippery on the back. Do I normally have grip tape behind them or sandpaper?

Is there a restart time?

It'll be at least ten minutes when they do.

Expecting heavy rain in nine minutes.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Radio check, Alex. Yes, copy. So we're expecting at least two laps behind the safety gap.

Thanks. OK. So long.

One minute 45. Once you're happy with your drops, you can set go max.

At the time it will just be a co-race.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

Safety car is at 17.

I'm supposed to go up 8.18.

George, 0.3 behind, going to 0.2 on the straights.

Just massively overflown at the high speeds.

If all medium speed, we can do entry 11. Not much of a high speed.

Expect the rear tyre to overheat next lap or two. Approach 20.

Stay within mode 6. I need to go to mode 7.

Bottom line at turn 7 still looks wet to try and help cool the tyres. Just check switch mode 7. Mode 7.

Go quicker through 8 to 10. 1.1 behind.

After the pit at turn one, you can use the pull toggle to make it as high on inters as possible. Go 2% away from the crossover.

Actually think turn 8, 9 and 14 are the most limiting for slick tyres at the minute. Can you give me some feedback?

9 tenths quicker than Tsunoda last lap.

Yes, Constantin.

Step corners 12, 13 and 8. 8, 9, 12, 13, 17. That's the last corner, so...

Happy on the original plan plus two.

Damn it. Relax, this won't be crazy good.

Corners ROT. Hamilton, Hulkenberg, Gasly in the pit for medium.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

Watch your right line of exit.

Clear up the exit.

Tell me the corner is too much off-road.

Hamilton pitted it up before he's two seconds back.

Hamilton very quick behind at the minute, 0.8 back. We have two late overtakes available currently.

Everyone on medium behind Norris on the hard tyre, 13 laps to go.

DRS now enabled. Suggest entry 9.

Currently three late overtakes available, or one early. The over the line... Russell's very weak. Russell's very weak.

He has increased downforce, but he's got himself a one second lead.

Tyres for us, low overheating. I'm looking to take this tyre to the end.

It will be crumbler in high speed, rear right, 10 and 11.

That's really easy for rear overheating. We'll start that next lap or two, so I'll check the light going after that.

Watch your pace, car. Head up behind.

Turn, turn. Turn slow and understeer. Front left, watch out. Wait, I'll speak to you when you can, I'll come back.

There's an increase to fix it. I need more rotation at turn 6.

No place is good. That's a bit quicker than Hamilton, that's a bit quicker than George.

What's it looking like behind Lewis?

Second lap quicker than us.

Suggest entry A to mid 5, we'll help in turn 8. Check our password.

Let's open up the 5-speed.

That's two laps to go. Gap ahead at 1.9, gap behind 2.5.

I think we can stay on this tyre to the end if we can stay in the 47s to 48.0.

You have clearance at the first stop, raising head away from shift stop.

Do you think you'll stay out or do you think you'll stay to the end?

Continue medium if you look at the lap based on the tool changes currently. Yes, turn around.

Suggest managing turn 8 and 12 for help with that deck.

We've got an early opening for turn 9, hot threshold if you want, that's green 3, position 5.

Over the line will be 17 laps to go. I've got three late overtakes, that's Blacks, and currently zero strikes.

Turn 12, so just earlier brake for a higher minute. Turn 12.

Yeah, ISO with Hamilton sector 1 is dropping from 8.3 to 13 currently.

Suggest entry 5, but that's too strong for turn 1. We can use the right button at turn 1.

Turn into DRS. Ranged out. DRS set.

So three late overtakes available. Suggest pit gear for turn 5 and 6.

Can I call up to switch up the tubes?

Suggesting exit 1 might help at turn 6. Exit 1.

Can you take some stropper gear shifts? Shift settings. Oh, why would he do that?

Slightly faster in a straight line in higher gears.

Yeah, I know, but I'll take out the tyres.

Strongly 5-9 that last time around. More opening on the left, so just high speed 11.

Still three late overtakes. If you need it, turn one currently.

Go blue, 9, position 11. Blue, 9, position 11. Check out deployment, more deployment.

Huge D-Racing into turn one.

Discover with a late overtake. Just to go out.

Sorry, but that's no good.

OK, go back. Blue 9, position 12. Blue 9, position 12. Still have three late overtakes. Blue 9, position 12.

1.4 back just out of DRS range.

Blue 7, position 5. Blue 7, position 5. Should be better to pull on it.

Blue 7, position 5. Gap behind at 1.4.

Four laps to go, three late overtakes, zero strikes.

Big gap behind at 1.2, over the line. Will be two laps to go. There's potential drops at times at turn one on the last lap.

Over the line will be mode 5 to start the last lap with three late overtakes or one early available. Behind at 1.1.

The LIAM 2.0-4.0-1 is available.

Well done, mate, well done. Coming back through the pitlane, coming back through the pitlane.

Yeah, that was good. I think it's the bloodiest session I've ever done.

Well done, Alex. Really strong drive from you today. Well lined on that P6, defending every lap. Brilliant, brilliant job.

Yeah, thank you, thanks James. Package was working well, so thank you everyone. Thank you factory for getting that early and just rewards, so thanks for the hard work.

That's it. Mic's on.
