Loud and clear. Over eight minutes till we go. Track temp is 30 and it's stable at 30. And we think wind is reduced again, so the wind is low.

Okay Lance, so just under seven minutes till we go. So I left the balance as it was on the lap to grid. We were happy with it.

OK, Lance, so it's four minutes till we go. Four minutes. In terms of cars around, Bearman starting his pitlane is on hard. Ocon to the right is on hard. And then the two cars ahead, Colapinto and Hulkenberg, are on soft. Basically everyone else is on medium. Colapinto, Hulkenberg ahead, soft. Ocon alongside is hard.

OK, Lance, two and a half minutes till we go. Fifteen minutes from now, there might be light drops, nothing substantial, but just some drops.

We just have an update. So, Tsunoda is also on soft in P12. So, there's three cars ahead on soft. So, they're probably on to stop and they'll probably be stopping earlier. So, they'll be pushing a lot. So, there'll be plenty of pushing at the start of the race.

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

OK, Lance, you can make some space, make some space before turn one, through turn one, lean on the tyres and then make space out of turn one if you can lean on the tyres 2-3.

We'll lean on tyres 2-3.

Weaving. Weaving.

Into 7, lift here.

Small lift before 8.

It makes space here in 9. A lot of traffic make a little space.

And you can push through 10 and we'll have weaving up to 11 and then a 100 metre lift into 11. Weaving along this straight and then a big lift into 11 for temps.

And we can do scrubbing here, scrubbing here. Your start was target minus 14. Formation start was target minus 14. You can do scrubbing here.

A lift, a lift. Keep doing the waving. Lift before 13 for temps.

K-0 hold. Two burnouts, Lance. Two burnouts. Back to run switch race.

No bite points signed. No bite points signed.

Thank you, box fellow.

OK, Lance, we're checking right now.

Keep going for now. It's just lost syncs. It should re-sync.

Oh, it's not a racing thing.

So it lost syncs. We think we have the syncs back now, Lance, so the shifting should be more normal now.

DRS enabled. DRS enabled. You have plenty of energy.

We suggest to press earlier at turn 13. For the button press, turn 13.

Speeder left toggle for turn seven.

How's the balance, Lance? How's the balance? Just rear strapping.

Box now, Lance. Box now.

Lift stop, pit entry for tenths, lift clear.

Tire green, dry air. Tire green, dry air.

OK, Lance, we can push on this hard, get the tyre temps up. There will be some rain, light rain in a couple of laps, so we're anticipating it. And probably soft runners will be stopping soon, so we're undercutting them.

We'll get these tyres up and use the free air. Job, Lance.

Good job, Lance. You're inside the pit window up to 13th.

Good job, Lance. Back of the pack is doing 17s. Rain when it comes will be from turn 14.

We think light rain in two minutes and it'll last for 20. No, not inters, so that's why we think we're on a fresher tyre than everyone.

Good laps. Back ahead is 11 ahead doing 1.17.

That's the debris 12 to 13. Not sure what it is.

HPP on. HPP on. Gap ahead 9.3.

We expect rain in one minute. You have the freshest tyres.

Consider right toggle turn one for balance. Gap ahead is seven.

Are people improving their lap times or are they now struggling with this rain?

It doesn't look like it yet, Lance. They just have normal day. So the group is five ahead now. They're still in the high 17s.

I'm losing grip quickly.

Understood. Both axles? Yeah. Okay, you are at the highest temps, so that part will come back a bit.

Consider brake balance plus one.

How are my lap times? Tell me if you want me to push more. Copy. Strat 11. Strat 11.

You're 1.5 faster than Albon in P10, so your pace is very good compared to the cars who haven't stopped yet.

Bearman is on 17 laps. Old parts ahead.

Fernando, box. We'll be like 10 seconds behind.

Other cars in that group ahead may start boxing.

Bearman's doing it 17.8.

Okay, three cars just boxed. They'll all be coming out behind.

A big group of cars six seconds behind and slow cars ahead.

Your tyre appearance is very good, Lance. Your tyres are looking healthy.

All three of those cars ahead going high, 17th.

Are people slowing down with the rain, man? I need to know because it's taking a risk. Okay, understood, Lance. I'll get your feedback. Fernando is three behind on new hard.

We only see the normal lap time loss from tyre deg on used tyres.

You have good pace compared to these cars ahead. Let's see if you can make some headway.

Early energy out of 13, definitely available.

Safety car, safety car, slow down now. It's yellow in three.

Double yellow through here, you lads. Double yellow. So just be slow. Hamilton crashed on the right.

Go to run, switch, safety car, run, switch, safety car.

Ah, that's great. Yeah, copy that.

So let's just concentrate on keeping our tyre temp.

Lance, the people are going to be putting on their last hard now. They have to go a very long way. We still have another tyre and we'll just take the track position here by staying in it. So, still plenty of chances in this race, OK? We'll let you keep our tyre temp and we'll keep it going for the restart.

So people are boxing last, so just remember to cover the pit offset when you get there. Still safety car, so still plus positive on delta time, make sure you're close.

We're still staying plus positive at delta time. Just watch to cover the pit exit. Antonelli will be around there. Albon and Antonelli.

So we're still obeying the delta time.

Okay, Lance, so currently...

That's two times by the line so we can speed up now. The safety car is in seventh so there will be some pushing.

We have Antonelli, Albon ahead are on newer tyres, but ahead of them is Ocon, also on race start hard. So he's on a much older hard than you, and Bearman is on an older hard. Behind Bearman is Fernando on a newer hard, and then Tsunoda behind him.

Good job, Lance. P10. Ocon ahead, all the hearts.

Good job, Lance. Nice one.

Signs ahead outlap is a lap down, so he will have the blue for you.

Lawson and Sainz ahead, both a lap down. They will have a blue for you.

VSC, VSC, slow down, get plus, positive, positive on delta time.

Stay out and keep temperature, Lance. Stay out and keep temperature. I don't know what the VST is for.

Remain straight, keep left.

We're just close to zero at the delta time.

There's debris in the middle of the main straight, so stay left. Get close to zero on the delta time.

Lawson and Sainz ahead will have blues, so when we restart they'll probably get blues for you, which is good.

I think it will restart soon because they're just clearing that debris.

VSC ending. VSC ending. Run-switch race. Run-switch race.

Good job, Lance. We'll just go as long as we can on this tyre. If you can try to open the gap, Ocon, behind, you're doing a very good job.

How is the balance, Lance? How's the balance? Yeah, I think the rear's going off.

Copy that, Lance.

Possible debris, turn 13, possible debris, turn 13.

Good job, Lance. You're slightly quicker than Ocon, so you are opening the gap.

OK, Lance, the safety car window is open. Safety car window is open.

Lansky suggests right toggle for entry stability turn 9. Right toggle turn 9.

Last lap, popcorn 15.9.

Ocon's a bit quicker, turn 11. You could try brake later and carry more apex speed.

Last lap, Ocon, 16.1.

Strat 11, Lance. Strat 11.

32 laps to go. Ocon made a mistake, so he's 2.6 behind good laps.

You can use all the tyre now, Lance. Use all the tyre.

Good laps, Lance. Good lap. Keep going.

Paul Pogge is really struggling now, so you just keep doing these laps. These are good laps, Lance.

Gap behind 3.1. Good job. Stay further to the right through turn 6.

Lance, we'll start using K0 from the middle of turn 5, I'll remind you.

K-0, K-0.

Lance, these tyres are going really well, so we can just keep going for a long time.

You can use early energy turn 13 every lap. It's faster lap time and sustainable.

A-0, middle of turn 5, K-0.

27 laps to go. This tyre is looking really good, so we have two options. We can keep going or we can always put the next tyre down.

So we'll have the big tyre advantage if we do that, but for now, just keep going, doing a great job.

Good gap behind. It's hard for me to say. Yeah, copy. K-0 here, K-0. Yeah, we'll decide, no problem.

We'll make it work either way, Lance. You could use energy out of 13 for lap time. It's good for lap time.

Remember, K-0, mid-turn 5, K-0.

Remember K-0. Remember K-0.

Ocon's picked up pace a little bit. He's doing 16.3s now.

Remember K0. Last lap 16.5 for Ocon.

These tyres are dying, man. OK, understood, Lance.

They're still keeping the gap to the car behind. They're doing 16.7, so all options are open. Still doing good.

A-0 and gentle entry of 7, please. K-0, gentle entry 7.

Like, right now I'm not pushing, so, yeah.

Copy that, Lance. That's clear. Still doing the same lap time as guys behind.

Still matching the lap times behind Lance, so still going OK. We've seen the day, so OK.

Box now, Lance. Box now. Box now.

Okay, Lance, it's a safety car, safety car, so when you get out there you have to be positive on the delta time. Watch the delta time as soon as you cross the safety car line. Plus positive on delta time.

OK, so it's double yellow through here. Double yellow. Two Ferraris crash in front of a Ferrari crashed in front of another.

And the safety car should wave us by less, so just watch for that.

Okay, so stay plus positive on Delta. You see you have a lot of margin there, but don't go negative.

This is okay, Lance. This will pack us up with everyone and we'll have a brand new tyre.

We'll get down to the delta time, Lance, so we need to be close to zero, but positive on the delta.

Close to zero but positive. Close to zero but positive. And then make sure you cover on the pit exit if anyone's there.

Yeah, we'll be close on the pit exit, actually recover it. Just positive. Good job.

OK, so we're still obeying the delta time. Sainz ahead is lapped down, so he'll be blue on the restart. Bearman ahead, we're racing. We just put on new media.

So Bearman ahead for position and then Bortoleto ahead of him is on very old tyres, but he is for position and then Alonso is ahead. Right now you're P12.

OK, that's two times by. You don't have to obey the delta anymore. Three times three. You need to...

Fernando ahead 13 lap over.

Ten to go. Gasly's tyres have 40 laps on them.

Good job. B9.

Gap is 1.5 behind. Good job.

Eight laps to go. Antonelli has a 15-second penalty and we're 11 seconds behind him, so this pace will keep us there.

Hospital oil from Norris. Watch for oil out of turn eight.

Yellow, turn 8. Yellow, turn 8 for Norris, right-hand side. Yellow, Norris, right-hand side. Yellow here. Safety car, safety car. Slow down, get plus positive on delta time. Positive. Plus.

Stay out, stay out, and be plus positive on delta time.

We'll stay out and you can go to out one, out one, and we'll keep our tyre press.

There'll be seven laps to go at the line. Seven to go. Stay plus positive on delta time.

OK, that's first time by, so we'll keep obeying the delta time. We're going to keep our tyre temp. Don't lose the tyre temp.

OK, Lance, you're currently P8 and you are 10 seconds behind Antonelli, so you're inside of this 15-second penalty that we have. You have three penalties.

Keep left through turn nine, keep left through turn nine. It's double yellow through there. The car is still stopped there.

Okay, that's three times by, so now you don't have to obey the Delta. The safety car has leader going into two, so you'll be packed up soon.

Double yellow. Keep left. Exit at turn 3. Keep left.

They were just clearing debris there and then it's still double yellow, so you have to go slow still through 9. Stay left.

There'll be five laps to go at the line. Let's keep that tyre temp.

OK, so we are at P8. Bearman ahead on medium. Faint tyre aid. Alonso's tyres hard. He's 15 lap older. Tyres behind him. Gasly's got the very old tyres behind him.

Three to go, lads. Three to go.

And hold available. One to go at the line.

Starting last lap.

A-0 in seven and when you can, just to get some energy back.

Checkered flag, Lance. Checkered flag.

That's P7, Lance, P7.

We'll pick up rubber, pick up rubber. P7 less, brilliant.

Okay, Lance, let's pick up rubber. We'll have HPP button off, HPP off, and run switch warm-up when you can.

And I have MFB PU1 to position 12. MFB PU1 to position 12.

Despite that unlucky safety car, Lance, you maximized it. You got P7. Brilliant job. Great drive. Very good pace.

I'll stubble points again for the team. 7-8. MFB, what do you want? MFB, PU1 to position 12. MFB, PU1 to position 12.

Hey Lance, just remember P0. Remember P0.
