Ready to check. Clarified.

13:04:45

DRS is enabled, 0.7 ahead, 0.5 behind.

13:06:09

Minor. Focal C7 position 1.

13:08:55

OK, mate. We want to try and get past Russell. If we can't, though, it would be plan A. Let's try and get past Russell.

13:10:17

I'd rather suggest Strat 6. Strat 6.

13:11:39

Russell's been told he's got rear tyre surface over him already.

13:13:02

Oscar's going to start pushing a bit more soon.

13:14:24

Main opportunity right now is turn 8, turn 9 minimum. Mainly turn 8.

13:15:45

City on strat 10. Strat 10. Probably have to use overtake.

13:17:07

Lando, Alonso's 9.3. He's holding everyone up in the train behind him. We need to get past Russell.

13:18:30

Fernando, I understand you might have dirty air, but in turn 2 the wider line looks better. One car width off the kerb.

13:19:52

Lando V, all safety car windows are open. All safety car windows are open. Copy that.

13:21:14

Suggest silver D5, silver D5. How are your tyres?

13:21:30

Yeah, I mean, I'm struggling a decent amount, clearly.

13:22:36

And then a minor, white H4, position 5. White H4, position 5.

13:23:58

Fernando, we still think the wide line in turn two is better. Some of the back markers are beginning to pit. Doesn't affect our race yet. Still a big train.

13:24:13

If my problem is not turn two, it's the last three corners.

13:26:43

And Lando, we're thinking plan A minus 5. Plan A minus 5. Yeah, confirm. My tyres are gone.

13:27:22

Verstappen has pitted. There are gaps opening.

13:28:33

Stroll 19.8, Lawson 21.2.

13:29:27

OK. Clear air. Let's go.

13:30:50

Lando, how are the tyres, mate? Yeah, it's a bit of tech, like that's probably as good as it's going to get. Okay, well, that's good.

13:33:32

Lando, both safety car windows are open. Both safety car windows are open. Confirmed. So this is either plan A, look to extend, or plan D, just keep talking to us about the tyres.

13:34:54

And Lando, minor, white H4, position 4, white H4, position 4.

13:35:54

Lando, we think this should be a hundred percent pace.

13:36:16

Lando, question for you. Russell was doing 21.2, 21.5. The gap to him is 17.2. He's coming up behind Alonso but might fly through him.

13:36:30

Would you prefer to be closer to him or have more tyre delta?

13:36:45

More tyre delts here at the minute.

13:37:39

Strat 7, please. Strat 7. Lando, the wide line on the previous lap in turn 2 looked better.

13:38:38

Suggest red A4, red A4.

13:40:02

Now, can you extend for a couple more laps? I'll talk to you at the start and finish line.

13:40:23

So, Lando, we're considering the one-stop. It would be 40 laps on a hard tyre. Keen for it? Yeah, why not?

13:41:46

OK, Lando, we're going to try it. It says eek out a couple of laps. When the lap time drops, we're coming in. If Leclerc catches us, we're coming in. He's 5.6 behind.

13:42:12

At this pace Leclerc catches us in three laps.

13:43:08

And Lando, for the hard tyre, we come down one hole.

13:44:08

Gap to Alonso is 20.4.

13:45:30

Fernando, we're going to box this lap. Box this lap. It will be tight at exit.

13:45:41

Box through slap. Box through slap.

13:46:05

Launch back, launch back, launch back. You'll be close to a lot lower exit.

13:46:12

We should be ahead, he's just out the final corner.

13:46:29

Once you're happy, a gentle introduction.

13:47:39

What lap times are they doing?

13:47:51

Russell did a 21.5. Leclerc did a 21.5 as well.

13:48:58

Amanda, we think the limitation on this tyre will be similar to the medium.

13:50:18

So Lando, the important thing, gap to Leclerc, 18.7. Last lap we did a 21.1.

13:51:40

To Leclerc, 17.9. He did a 21.4.

13:52:59

So Lando, gap to Leclerc 17.1. We want to make sure we've got good tyres all the way to the end because the threat will be when they pit, try and come through.

13:54:21

Lando, just keep the focus. Don't want those mistakes.

13:57:01

The tyres have stabilised. On our numbers they will just get to the end.

13:58:21

Correction, Oscar stayed out, Leclerc pitted.

13:58:26

Is it blue flags for these guys or not?

14:02:02

Strap tight, strap tight.

14:02:26

Strat 7, as you are, is fine.

14:05:05

Wipe H4, position 5, Oscar Piastri.

14:05:44

Let's do everything we can for blue flags, please.

14:05:48

Just be a bit more proactive in it.

14:06:03

Strat 10, please. Strat 10.

14:08:01

I need blue flags, please.

14:09:06

Lando, with regards to blue flags, you've just got to get within 1.2 and both safety car windows are open. Both safety car windows are open.

14:09:22

Yeah, I'm 1.7, but then I already start to struggle, so I'm trying.

14:10:27

Lando, suggest red A4, red A4. There's going to be a lot of traffic to go through. We're going to have to look after the front left.

14:12:13

Lando, the car behind is effectively Oscar now. 8.9.

14:15:49

Lando, using 8th into turn 1 is better. 8th into turn 1 is better. There's a low risk of light drops of rain from now.

14:16:15

Lando, if there's a safety car, we would take it for a hard tyre. You'd only lose out to Oscar. Soft.

14:18:29

OK, Lando, Oscar's the car behind. 5.7. Einer, white H4, position 4. White H4, position 4.

14:18:42

Doing a good job in 6-7. Keep that exit priority.

14:19:49

Lando, suggest red A3, red A3. An opportunity, just be careful of carrying that brake too late into turn 2. Focus on the pick-up throttle.

14:21:10

Opportunity. Turn 5. Limit the peak. Get prepared earlier.

14:22:32

Opportunity. Turn 5. Limit. Throttle. Hit.

14:23:50

That was a good lap. Main opportunities are throttle pickup, turn 5, turn 8, turn 9.

14:25:09

And Lando, if you want more rotation, we suggest increasing engine braking. That's orange E-switch.

14:26:29

Lando suggests left-hand toggle turn 5. Opportunities to work on limiting the peak. Gap to Oscar 2.4.

14:27:51

Yeah, I just... Yeah, traffic's gonna ruin my race.

14:28:42

Light drops of rain turn 12.

14:30:03

The light drops in turn 12. Stopped.

14:30:47

Oscar, lap DRS.

14:33:14

Remember to use the button as appropriate. Just be careful, front left.

14:33:29

Safety car windows are closed. Oscar will be using overtake.

14:33:40

Exit bias line in turn 14 is good.

14:34:37

Three to go. Use the O-Plate.

14:35:32

Don't give up too much entry to turn 14.

14:35:54

You can use press and hold every lap into turn one here.

14:37:14

Lando, press the hermetic button. Be careful front left. Do not move under brake.

14:38:39

Yes, yes, yes! Mega job, mate. Mega job.

14:38:49

Please charge on, please.

14:38:57

And maximum pick-up.

14:39:06

Good racing. Good strategy. Good call. Well thought. Thank you, guys.

14:39:40

No, no, just keep picking up rubber.

14:40:36

And baggage off, mate. Returning to the pitlane.

14:46:11

Thank you for watching.
