Thank you very much.

Radio check.

That was loud and clear. Lado, there might be some small drops of rain on the hour, so as we start.

Sector 2 likely to be most affected.

Lando, tyre info. It's a bit involved this time. So, soft starters are Antonelli, Hadjar, Lawson, Bearman, Gasly, Hamilton, Sainz and Bortoleto. Hard-ons, the two Astons, Tsunoda, Verstappen from the pitlane and Ocon from the pitlane. Everybody else starts medium. Can we have just a ready check from the pit wall, please? Yeah, loud and clear. All good.

Fernando, you can use overtake for turn 4.

No full load for now. Big lift into turn 6, please.

Lando, if you have a big lift into turn 12, launch D back to your target plus two. Timing was late.

Can we have purple C13 position 10, please? That's C13 position 10.

Fernando, it'll be three burnouts. That's three burnouts. If you can, do a big lift onto the grid.

Lando, it'll be three and a half burnouts. Three and a half.

Lando, can you have P6, position 10, please? That's P6, position 10.

And you can pre-set the C-switch to 7.

Last car approaching the grid.

Minor, purple, C7 position 1, please. Purple, C7 position 1.

Lando, there's a car in the wall at turn 10.

And safety car deployed. Safety car deployed.

And Lando, can we just go to Strat 5, please? Strat 5 for now. So possible debris from turn, well, before turn 10 where Bortoleto's hit the wall.

So there's double yellows from 10.10 to 11. All the debris is at the outside of 10, so take a tight line.

And minor. Purple C2, position 10, please. Purple C2, position 10.

There's a recovery vehicle on track now at turn 10, so I want to just focus on front tyre temperature.

I have potential to win.

Try and keep temperature in the brakes as well.

A safety car is going to take a shortcut at turn 10, so you must follow the safety car. Stay in line with the safety car.

And the WI is from 9 now through to 11.

It's still double yellows from 9 to 11 and continue to follow the safety car.

The safety car will take the shortcut again.

And Lando, if it's possible to do more weaving, that would be good, please. We're losing more temperature than we'd like.

Add minor. ACS button, please.

We don't think it's going to be that much longer, so do what you can with the front tyres especially.

Safety car will stay on track this time around turn 10.

Saved car is in this lap. Saved car is in this lap.

Safety car is just leaving turn 12.

Thirteen. Remember the recharge.

Safety car in 14 and overtake is available. Safety car in pitlane.

Car behind is now Oscar. Gap 0.9.

Suggest Strat 6. Strat 6 DRS enabled. Gap to 1.3. Sorry, DRS disabled. There's a car stopped on track towards turn 4, so it's yellow flags turn 4.

That is yellow flags turn 4. Virtual safety car, virtual safety car, now double yellow flags turn 4.

OK, we're going to suggest Strat 5 again. Strat 5 again.

Still WLS at 10-4 at the moment.

B-Car has still not made it.

It's like a double yellows turn.

Virtual safe car ending, virtual safe car ending.

DRS enabled. He does have DRS.

And gap's 1.1.

Lando, there's no opportunity to your team mate. Just manage the snaps in turn 4.

And then a minor white H2, position 4, please. White H2, position 4.

Opportunity, turn 10, a little bit more speed.

More minimum speed.

And Lando, an update for you. Verstappen pitted off the hard, might have been for a puncture. References Alonso.

An opportunity. Remember the turn 3 exit bias. And how's the tyres? How's the pace? Yeah, just a bit of rear deck.

And Lando, for now, let's assume plan A, target plus five. Plan A, target plus five. Copy that.

Lando, gap to Hadjar is 10.1, gap to Bearman 11.4, so Hadjar's in fifth.

No wonder at the same car at the moment you would lose all positions.

Lando, main opportunity is turn 10 minimum, but don't give up the exit.

And Lando, just a quick update for you. So, Russell's 8.4, Hadjar's 12.4. Oscar has been given a 10 second penalty, which he will serve next time. Are you getting rear tyre dags? Is it big dags?

No, I mean, just, I think, expect it around this track, that's all. A good amount of rear deck, but it's not, not horrendous.

Minor, purple, C2, position 11, please. Purple, C2, position 11.

And Lando, from our side, we think it's more like plan B. Plan B. Possibly even plan D. Plan D.

Suggest green F4. Keep us updated on the tyres.

And Lando, turn 10 has been better. Keep that up.

Be careful, front under-rotation into turn 10.

Lado Asciughelli has pitted, so let's use the pace.

How are the other tyres looking? I'll update in a second. Ansel, he's currently stuck in traffic.

And we can go back to extending. Captain Antonelli is 30.2 because of his traffic.

So, Lando, the hard does not look good. The soft probably similar to yesterday. That's based on Antonelli, who has pitted off it.

Hello, we're likely to fit a soft next. We would come up one if you're happy. Yes. Oh, don't come up.

I don't think I want the approach. Understood.

Okay, Lando, Anselli still stuck in traffic. Up to Verstappen is 19.5 and Albon 23.2. Doing a really good job here. Just keep going.

Lando, both safety car windows are open, please confirm. Confirmed, sir.

Antonelli is 28.5. He's still got a couple of cars to get through.

Gap to Antonelli is 27.9. He's got one more car to get through, which I expect will be this lap.

We are expecting to box this lap.

And we are boxed this lap. Boxed this lap.

Launch back, launch back, launch back. This will be outlap 2, stint 2. Outlap 2, stint 2. I expect us to be behind Verstappen. He's just over the start-finish line.

Verstappen, turn 1 and advance manoeuvring start and finish line.

And we suggest red A6, red A6.

And Verstappen's tyres are 23 laps old and Stan is 4.65.

Reminder to bring the tyres in in turn 6-7.

And Lando doing a really good job. Keeping these tyres under temperature control is going to be really important. And just keep doing this. I'll get back to you soon.

Lando, there are no opportunities to anybody.

We expect three more laps until the tyres stabilise. Our next question is going to be how early we're willing to hit medium again. So feedback on this tyre versus the medium will be good.

Lando, picture update for you. Gap to Antonelli is 7. Gap to Russell 16.7. Russell's gone used medium, used soft. He might try the one. We think it's unlikely. If he does, we'll want tyre delta to him.

And Lando, tyres have stabilised and both safety car windows are open. Please confirm. Confirm.

And now though, just manage your front under-rotations into turn 10 a little bit more.

And Lando suggests using left-hand paddle in turn 4. That's left-hand paddle turn 4. And how's the tyres? How's the pace? Yeah, pace 2 or 3, but probably thermal limit.

Lando, if you had a tent, that wouldn't affect stint lengths, we'd take it.

Yep, difficult. This is me as hell.

There's an opportunity in turn 1-3. That's a tight change of direction from turn 1-2.

Doing a good job, mate.

And Lando Antonelli has pitted. We're keeping an eye on him.

And Lando, opportunity, turn 1-2, line discipline. And when we stop for the medium, we come down one. We come down one. Perfect.

And Russell has also pitted.

We're going to box this lap, I think it's boxed this lap. Confirm. Under pitlane.

There'll be launch map on in the pitlane. Stop in position. Launch map.

It's going to be outlap 2, stint 2 again. Outlap 2, stint 2.

Oscar's approaching turn 1 now.

Verstappen is eight seconds ahead. He's on 16-lap hold mediums.

Lando, we don't need as gentle an introduction as last time, so I'm happy to start pushing on the tyres a bit.

Verstappen has been...

Okay, Lando, so gap to the Antonelli is 5.3 and Russell 7.8. Antonelli last time did a 13.3. Opportunities are turn 4 pace and turn 6-7 pace.

And Lando, just manage front under rotation at turn 10.

And there are no opportunities to Antonelli.

And Lando, tyres have stabilised. We're happy to reduce the lift into turn 11. Picked behind to Antonelli 6, Russell 8.8, Verstappen 10.9. At some point we're going to have to decide if we take a safe to go.

We suggest left-hand paddle turn 4. Left-hand paddle turn 4.

Fernando, if there was a safe car, we think we would take it. We would lose positions in theory to Anceli, Verstappen and Russell. We think the Mercs would also take it.

And Verstappen is now the car behind Antonelli.

And Lando, five laps to go. Just manage the wheels a bit, please.

Two laps to go.

This is the last lap.

Amazing job, mate. Amazing job. Whole weekend on it. White H11 position 13, please. White H11 position 13. And ACS button press and recharge can stay on, please. Recharge can stay on. Well done.

And pick up rubber boots.

Yeah, well done. Nice race, well executed. Good job all weekend.

Not quite a big enough gap for my liking though, so definitely something to look at. Let's keep it going. Thanks, guys.

Lando, will you return to the pitlane, please? Return to the pitlane.
