Oscar, radio and drinks check.

Yep, radio check and brakes are good. We're loud and clear. Oscar, on the... ...light drop, possibly similar to what we had on the last grid.

Sector 2 probably most affected by that.

Oscar, to be clear, I've probably said that wrong. Turn 4 and 12, likely most affected.

Tyre information, Oscar. A bit of a mix around you. So, most cars around you start on the soft tyre. Medium starters are yourself, Leclerc and Russell. P10 downwards is a mix of medium, hard and soft.

One more for you to know, Oscar. Verstappen in the pitlane is on a hard.

Oscar, if there is rain on the formation map and you think it has materially affected the grip, my suggestion is conservative drop.

Doing a good job with the brakes. Well done.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Safety car will take the shortcut again. Turn 10. Follow the safety car on the shortcut. Turn 10.

So, we think those cars have moved. This may be the last lap behind the safety zone. When you get to the restart, strap 10 is good. That will give you auto overtake between turns 12 and 1. You won't need to press overtake immediately, but you would need to press overtake out of 3.

Safety car will not take the shortcut. It will stay on track at turn 10.

Safety car in this lap. Safety car in this lap. Bal minus two. Bal minus two.

Safety cars in turn 13. Remember the recharge button.

Safety car 14.

Safeguard SC1 and air entry.

Hey, let me know if space.

Car looks OK at the moment.

DRS enabled.

BSC, BSC.

Recharge on is good. Leclerc is stopped on the right.

They have a little bit of a flat spot on the front left. Not too bad, but it's not ideal. Copy. We see that in the data. It's not a bad level yet for us.

Oscar, turn one at the restop. Is there any more discrepancy? You said he left you no space. That's just before the turn in, is it? Yeah, I mean, I was fully on the weight line and he just turned in. I don't know if he got squeezed by Leclerc as well.

I can't go any further left.

Yeah, Oscar, we agree. I definitely showed in the replay, I saw that.

Leclerc's car is still on the right-hand side up here.

Just red mid-six, red mid-six.

BSC ending. Recharge off. Recharge off.

So just red bit 5, red bit 5.

Strat 7. Strat 7.

Consider a tighter line turn 8 exit.

Suggest orange torque nine. Orange torque nine. Turn one at right toggle.

How's the top?

Oh, it's okay. It feels pretty stable for now. Very good.

Oscar, we're thinking of trying to get to plan A target lap. Plan A target lap.

Oscar, turn 11. Slightly longer lift, slight delay to full throttle to protect the right-hand side tyres.

Turn 4, suggest top left. Turn 4, top left.

Be careful, wheelspin turn 12.

And opportunity entry of nine. Make sure you prepare it in eight.

Suggest orange torque 10. Orange torque 10 to help the rears. How's the tyre now?

Still okay, but there is a little bit of trouble.

Turn 11 delayed full throttle.

OK, tyres are stabilised now. Turn 1, 2 and 4 are very strong. You have a tenth and a half you can use in turn 6 and 7. We're not worried about the fronts, mainly just the rears, so still saving 11 is good.

So we think this is plan C now. Plan C. We want to get to plan C target lap.

Charles behind, had started pitting. Lawson's pitted this lap.

Hadjar pitted the lap before us off, so the pack behind is breaking up.

That's a good lap. Good job, turn 89. Oscar, we have a 10 second penalty for the safety car restart, turn 1. Best opportunity is plan C and you need to get to target lap with good pace.

Let's go strat 11. Strat 11.

Your pace looks good. We can still make this work.

Okay, Antonelli has just pitted off at the soft, off the soft and stick to the plan now. This is good. Good pace like that.

Half a second quicker than Russell last lap.

ACS off. ACS off.

Last lap, there was more tailwind. Turn 7-8.

Consider later apex turn H to set up 9 better, gain time entry of 9.

Verstappen has cleared the traffic behind. He's just done a 14.8, 14 seconds behind you. A lot of that traffic pitted out of the way.

Gap to Russell keeps growing though. Pacing him is good.

What tyre is Verstappen on? He's on a medium that he fitted at the BSC.

Turn 12. Carpool late. Entry speed.

Extending still looks like the right thing after what you're doing is good.

Be careful, over-pushing entries. How's the tyre now? Still pretty stable. Brake is similar.

You're on the limit front right under rotation to turn 8 and 10.

Lando is pitting this lap, so you'll get clearer air. You want to keep going because there's messy traffic on your pit window at the moment.

Lead car of that traffic is Hadjar doing 15.2.

Last lap, last lap. Fucking Verstappen.

Suggest green shape 2 under rotation to building.

Turn 9, earlier lift. How's the tyre?

That's OK.

Oscar, how's the grip overall? Any evidence the hard may be better than P1? Didn't look too bad on Aston Martin. Difficult to know, but the medium feels good for now.

We're close to Hamilton for exit. He's behind.

Hamilton is a lapped car.

Last lap had Bortel into turn 80. Be careful of the braking point there.

No problem, Oscar, he's not in our race. Yeah, we're going to get folks waving slope.

If we pit, you'll be behind three cars in a DRS train. Two Alfa Tauris and Alpine. Are you happy with that?

You're doing a good job. Tyre update still OK? Yeah, still fine.

Oscar, we've boxed this lap. Boxed this lap. Copy boxed. Clinical onto the marks. It will be the 10 second penalty.

And lurch by parking lot.

Red mid 5, red mid 5, that car ahead is Lawson. Drive past him.

Lawson, 19 laps, medium.

What's the plan here?

Oscar, use your pace. We're trying to catch an undercut, Bearman and Russell. Verstappen will help you with that.

Red bit 4, red bit 4.

Strat seven. Strat seven.

Bearman's pitted.

Good middle section, Oscar. So, does everyone still have one stop to make? Yeah, we believe so. Maybe not Verstappen, others yes.

So Russell and Antonelli still to stop. Verstappen's on a medium. We think he'll try and get to the end.

I hope you're a bit more optimistic about this strategy than I am, because it doesn't look very pretty from where I'm sat.

This looks best to us, Oscar, because of the expected tag on the soft.

Apple turn 8 entry curb. Still quicker than Verstappen, Russell and Antonelli. Antonelli's doing 14.6, Oscar.

Suggest silver entry 6. Silver entry 6.

It's this plan C, target minus five. Plan C, target minus five.

It will be 1.5 on the clock.

OK, we'll box this lap. Box this lap. OK, box.

Launch map. Launch map. Climb to the mark. Last lap.

Laurence Papo.

We'll be close behind Bearman into turn 4.

Bearman, nine-lap hold, medium tyres.

Strat 11. Strat 11.

B-Bal plus one. B-Bal plus one. 20 milliseconds outside DRS.

Let's go on the road is Lawson. He's done 34 laps on a medium doing 115s.

We'll be racing Verstappen at the exit.

0.9. So Verstappen's the car ahead. He's on 5th and there are 16 laps remaining. It's a long stint.

Turn nine, earlier lift, earlier throttle pickup.

Strat seven, strat seven.

Turn 10 had a bit more tailwind. Both axles on the limit.

Six, seven tenths quicker than Antonelli and Russell.

Suggest red, mid, zero. Red, mid, zero for low speed stability.

ACS button, ACS button, and with the red mid-six, you can try orange torque eight. Try orange torque eight.

If I could just check the torque switch, you've changed it to torque nine. It's now back in eight. That's good.

Verstappen has DRS on Russell ahead. Four seconds.

Turn 8. Bring the braking slightly earlier to set up the line into 9. Other corner driving looks good. Other corners looking good.

Nine laps to go from here.

Bike H6 position 10. H6, 10.

And tyre update when you can.

You're okay, are you? Perfect. You're safe to go.

9-10, 8-9, looks good.

Strat 11. Strat 11.

That's four laps to go.

Strat 9. Strat 9.

OK, Oscar, I need switches for the in-lap. H11.13. White H11.13. ACS off and recharge off.

And pick up rubber where you can. Pick up rubber where you can. That's P5, Oscar. Your tyre management was good. I don't think we got everything right there. And obviously with the penalty, difficult to catch back up. But pace, tyre usage, everything was good.

One usual reminder on picking up rubber, we're coming back into the pitlane.

Oscar, when you get to Parc fermé we need to turn the car fully off. So kill the engine, wait five seconds and then switch it fully off.
