Radio check. Yep, that's loud and clear.

I didn't get anything if you talked. Radio check, because all audio clear. Yeah, there we go.

So, Lando, just the latest updates on the track. We think all around the track is drying at the same rate as the grid, so it's drying very quickly. Contrary to what you discussed with Peter, just do a normal approach to the formation lap start, so that's just standard.

Normal start. Sorry, it's terrible. I can't hear anything. You keep breaking up. It said formation lap start. I'll try again. Contrary to what you discussed with Peter, for the formation lap start, do your normal approach standard. OK. Did you get that? Yeah, I got that.

Lando, tyre info. A few soft starters today. Verstappen, Hadjar, Alonso, Tsunoda, Stroll, Colapinto. Everybody else starts on the medium.

Lando, we're going to need purple C6 position 10 before the burnout. Purple C6 position 10.

Last car approaching the grid.

Add contact. Just keep an eye on everything. Checking everything now, mate.

Green F3, green F3, dry shape.

I don't have a small amount of damage to the property, I think. We'll just check it now.

I need you to speak louder.

Small amount of front wing damage. Nothing to worry about.

I know the other car locked up on the white line into turn 16. Be careful.

He's done a good job managing those slips of braking. Keep that up.

11-minor. Purple C6 position at 11, please. Purple C6 position at 11.

And Lando, turn 5 was good, that lap. Keep it up. Small opportunity, braking a little late at turn 1.

Final. Purple seat 2, position 9. Purple seat 2, position 9.

And Lando, opportunity turn 7. Reduce light going a little bit and find out how the tyres held the pace.

Yeah, pace is good. I think I'm a lot quicker.

Um, just a little bit of thermal zag at the minute. But, uh, yeah, Jesus. I think you're stuck in the dirt here.

And we're happy with that level of life, OK, 37, look at that.

Lando, just to update on people behind you, there's four cars within your safety car window.

Now the main opportunity to Verstappen is turn 14. More exit tyres might help.

I'm on the silver T5. Silver T5.

If there was a safety car, we would lose four cars. That's Oscar Leclerc and Lando Hamilton. We think we would take it for a hard tyre. Do you agree?

And Lando, in that case, the full safe car window is open, the full safe car window is open. Please confirm. Confirmed.

Hit the wall. Keep an eye on the right side.

Understood. We're politic. All OK so far.

The first cars are pitting from the back.

Lando, both seat belt windows are now open, please confirm.

OK, mate, just a reminder to drink. Also, so behind Hamilton is Alonso, 18.3, Hadjar, Bearman and then Hulk, 23.2.

There's currently three or four cars on the window, so think about the undercut of Max.

Understood. Suggest right-hand paddle turn 5. Right-hand paddle turn 5.

Lando, just be careful. Apex kerb turn 5.

Lando, box to overtake Verstappen. Box and overtake Verstappen.

Stay out, stay out.

Gap to Alonso, 20.7, then Hadjar, 23.8.

So, Lando, we could do it. We'd have to come through Alonso and then four cars would have a safety car window on us.

If we want to try, we can. You've got to be on board with it.

And now only two, sorry, three cars in our safety car. There will almost be two. Strat 6. Yeah, confirm. Let's do it.

Alonso's doing 38.0. We will have to pass him quickly to make this work. If you want to do it, we'll box to him and take this lap.

I'd like her to be clear. We just extended out, filled Sainz's car with those. There's no extension in the pit right now.

So this is plan A, target lap. Plan A, target lap. Yeah, copy that.

At this pace to Russell is good. We're quicker than or matching him everywhere.

And there are no consistent opportunities to your teammates, provider to drink, and Leclerc has just beaten you.

Adelaide, we will have to follow the dash, so I suggest just doing a little bit more light go now.

Opportunity turn 13 as you talked about pre-race. Last lap Russell did a 37.1.

Lando, the gap to Oscar is 4.7. He's going to have to pit soon to cover Leclerc.

Are you willing to let Leclerc pit, I'm sorry, let Oscar pit the lap before you?

OK, Lando, Strat 6, please, Strat 6. We have boxed this lap. We're picking the hard, we're coming down one.

Box this lap. Box this lap.

Launch, launch, launch. This will be outlap 3, stint 2, outlap 3, stint 2, Russell's approach turn 1, and then Max will be ahead of us. He pushed his tyres hard, so that could be an opportunity.

While we're bringing in the tyres, let's just focus on following the dash a little bit.

Strat 7. Strat 7. You'll be well clear at exit.

Fernando suggesting a little bit more Lyco to follow Dash so we can push at the end of the race. Suggest turn 5 and turn 10 if it doesn't affect pace.

And Lando, there's also opportunities turn 5, turn 10. A little less peak for more minimum speed.

That was better in 5 and 10. Keep that up.

Minor. Purple C2, position 8, please. Purple C2, position 8. Have a drink.

A lot of minor. How's the pace? How are the tyres?

Yeah, it doesn't feel amazing at the minute, honestly.

For reference, last lap Russell did a 35.9, Verstappen did a 35.8.

Another main opportunity to Oscar is turn 18. Minimum speed.

And Lando, we're just lining up safety car stuff. At the moment, only Oscar is within our window. We would take a salt from this point.

Just struggling in the dirt here already.

Verstappen is struggling in clean air, so let's put pressure on him.

Lando, as we approach back markers, just remember all the rubber and the crap.

Hello, just be careful. Turn 13, braking like that. Possible derby on the track somewhere.

Back off braking point. Turn 16 is needed.

Debris, possibly turn 10.

Yellow flags ahead.

And the yellow is clear behind.

Lando, opportunity, just focus on earlier DRS activation, but just remember who you are. The race is you.

And just be careful turn 2 with that much oversteer.

Have Lando turn 40 and we need to back off braking a bit.

You can always use overtake or strat 6 to get back to DRS.

So, Lando, we've had our first strike for track limits. After this lap, there's six laps remaining. Gap to Oscar's 3.0.

Opportunity turn 60. Exit bias. Back onto the brake.

Three laps to go. Have a drink.

Well done, mate. First P3. We chip away at it. And we are the World Constructors' Championship. We did. We won. Two years running. Well done, mate.

Ah, shit, I'm pretty tired, man. I didn't drink. I couldn't. I feel bad. But who cares? We all won another world championship for McLaren. Congratulations, everyone. You all worked so hard. I'm so proud to be part of it all.

Simply beautiful. Well done, everyone. Very well done. Incredible.

Incredible. I'm very proud of you too, mate.

Hopefully you're a different shade of colour than when I last saw you.

And can I have white H11 position 13? White H11 position 13. And pick up rubber, please.

Yeah, well done. It's a difficult race, I guess.

That pace was amazing, as always. Just couldn't overtake, so it's good to know the pace is still there. Well done, everyone. Well done, champions.

Feels weird to say this early. I love you all. I'm so proud of you all. It's been a pleasure to be part of this journey once again. Two years in a row. We are the best in the world. Congratulations.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Thank you. Do an ACS button press.

Yeah, maybe one tonight and then something on Wednesday, I'm sure, when we're back here.

That is confirming you. Enter the pitlane where the boards will be waiting for you. Well done, Lando. Great race. Constructors, champions, back-to-back. Good man.
