Radio check, lads.

Try again, Lance. Radio check.

OK, we're just going to check the connection. I think you hear me but I don't hear you. Jamie's checking. We have just under nine minutes. Nine minutes till we go.

I'm near check-off.

You have seven minutes, Lance. We're going to swap the headset. Plenty of time. We'll just swap the headset.

Radio check, Lance. Radio check. You don't have a microphone, yeah. Okay. But you can hear me. Will someone else check? Just push the radio button, Lance.

Radio check, radio check. Yeah, loud and clear, Lance, loud and clear.

Still have six minutes, Lance, six minutes, so no rush. Plenty of time to get yourself comfortable.

Okay, Lance. We're all good. Five minutes. Here we go. Five minutes.

Radio check, Lance. Radio check.

Radio check, Lance. Radio check. Give a thumbs up if you can hear me at least.

Yeah, so Lance, I'll just talk to you through the race. We have two minutes 15 to go. Two minutes 15.

So, Lance, two minutes till we go. Two minutes. We've power cycled the car, so we will have to sync gears on this formation lap. Sync gears. Okay, and I'll give you all the normal formation lap info on what to do with the tyres.

So, Lance, in the race, if I ask you questions, we can use the OK button. OK button once will mean yes. OK button two times will be no. We'll see it in the data. OK? So, Lance, if we ask you a question and the answer is yes, you'll just press the OK button once. And if the answer is no, you don't have to respond. OK, so we'll just use that in the race if we need it.

Just remember, you'll need to sink gears as you go up to turn 1. Okay, so make some space, make some space, and then try to sink gears up to turn 1, and then a hundred metre lift into one big lift to make some space and for engine pump. The gears are synced, that's all good, so you can lean on the tyres. We'll have weaving up to four and a hundred metre lift and brake into four. A hundred metre lift and brake into four. The gears are synced, that's all good, so you can lean on the tyres. We'll have weaving up to four and a hundred metre lift and brake into four. A hundred metre lift and brake into four. Small lift before six and then a lift brake before seven. Then don't drop back too far from Hamilton. And then we'll have just a big lift from nine to ten. I see Hamilton's going slow anyway. Big lift from nine to ten. Lift here. Lift here. Okay, weaving up to 12, a brake, and then 200 kph through the high speed. One brake and then 200 kph through high speed. Final brake prep before turn 15, final brake prep. The formation start was target minus nine, so we'll have some scrubbing, low speed scrubbing here on the racing line, stay on the racing line.

Okay, Lance, K-0 hold, seven burnouts. K-0 hold, seven burnouts. Big burnouts with steer, please. K-0 hold, seven burnouts.

DRS enabled. DRS enabled.

Torque 12 for stability. Torque 12 for stability.

Tyre management OK for now. It's good for now.

Lance, bigger lift turn 12 if possible.

Diff mid-seven, mid-seven, if you need rotation.

Bigger lift in 12 for one or two more laps will help.

Right toggle for turn 1.

Safety car, safety car, safety car, get plus positive on delta time, slow down now, get positive.

OK, Lance, so we will likely be boxing. This will be plus on delta time, but not too much. We'll likely be boxing, putting the next tyre on. I'm just going to add a little front because I see it going towards understeer.

Box now. Lance, box now. It's a very busy pitlane. All the cars are in. Box now.

Higher green, dry earth. Higher green, dry earth.

OK, still a safety car, still safety car, so when you get out on track, you need to get positive on, you can push to safety car line two and then positive on delta time after safety car line two.

And still double yellow here, still double yellow. Just get as much energy in the tyres as you can.

We will stay out, Lance, stay out. We don't need to stop again. Stay out, stay out, stay out.

This safety car was late enough, Lance, that we didn't need to do the double. So, from here, we'll have...

Everyone from here can go to the end once more stop. So all cars from here will do 25 laps on this tyre and then 25 laps on the next tyre, because everyone has stopped on lap 7.

The hard tyre has looked OK for people, so we're on the medium now, and then we will pitstop onto the hard. And basically everyone is on the exact same situation now.

That's the 25 laps we need to go to then put on a tyre to go to the end.

Hey Lance, safety car in this lap. Safety car in this lap. Let's get the tyres ready. Your temps are really good.

And HPP on. HPP on. Okay, safety cars left the leader. Leader Piastri is slow in 14. Safety car is in, sorry, in 13. Safety car is in 15.

Okay, Lance, good job. Start managing especially 12.

Yeah, we're looking at that snap, Lance. We'll try and suggest something.

Pit nine. Pit nine will help.

Bigger lift in 12 when you can. I see you're under pressure.

Do the lift for 12.13 earlier, just a little earlier.

Brake balance plus one. Brake balance plus one. Good job. You've opened the gap behind now 1.2. So good job.

Focus on 12.13. That earlier lift is good.

You can consider torque 11 to help turn 6 if that's the limitation.

Good lap. If the understeer is building, think about entry 8, mid 7, reduce understeer.

Good job, Lance. Good job.

Lance, is this balance okay now? Press the okay button if it's good, and don't press it if you don't like it.

Box now. Lance, box now. Box now. Lance, pit confirm.

Remember, hold brake pressure. We're just going to try something here and see if we can get in a good situation.

OK, Lance, we're going to go out and crank out some good laps on this medium. We're going to undercut people and then we'll see if we can get a good opportunity later.

Just check left toggle. Chef, check left toggle.

So you can push here till we get up to temp and then we'll guide you on managing. This is our undercutting situation and then we'll see what we can make from it later.

What you've done is good, Lance, so just try and help the tyre 12, 13 and 9. You're doing a very good job and then just get good lap time everywhere else. Very good lap time everywhere else.

Good job, Lance, you're up inside the pit window of many cars.

HVP off. HVP off.

We'll have HPP off and strat 7. Strat 7 when you can.

Consider torque 11 for more rotation.

In a few more laps, everyone will be pitting. So, so far you've worked your way up to around E10.

This is giving us track position. We'll still need a safety car to help us, but you're doing really good.

We will have one more stop to make, so we'll need a safety car to help us with that.

OK, Lance, good job. So two more times. You'll be basically

You'll be basically in two more laps, everyone will be boxing, they'll be coming out ahead and behind you.

So, Lance, everyone will be boxing onto a hard. It'll be their last stop. So you'll be somewhere between P9 Leclerc and P10 Bearman. You'll be in the middle of those cars. They'll all be on a hard, on outlaps, cold tyres.

OK, good laps, good laps. The next lap, everyone will be boxing, so you'll have cars coming out ahead and behind. You'll be somewhere around P9, P10, and then we'll need a safety car to help us to our last stop.

You'll have plenty of energy available, Lance. You'll have probably Leclerc ahead, Bearman behind you.

Everyone's on hard with warmup. Lawson behind.

OK, Lance, so we'll do 16 more laps on this tyre. So hopefully somewhere in that time we get a safety car, which will then allow us to try and keep some of this track position. Good job. Right now you're P11.

Good job, Lance. Good job.

15 is understeer. Consider left toggle. You can push more there. Sliding is low in 15.

No left toggle turn 2. No left toggle turn 2.

Good job, you're quicker than Lawson. You are opening the gap.

Good job, Lance. Ten more times on this tyre. Ten more times.

Lawson behind is doing 25.5. Fernando is 25.6.

We see wind increasing, like exit 10.

Torque 11 will help. Turn 6. Torque 11.

Lawson doing 25.6 behind.

Torque 11. Torque 11. Entry 8. Mid 7 will help.

Five more times on this tyre. Five more times.

Two more times on this tyre. Two more times.

Entry 8, mid 7, starting last time. Last time.

OK, Lance will be boxing at the end of this lap.

Box now, Lance. Box now. Box now. Remember, pitlane speed limiter.

Member pit limit turn.

Lance, we have a five-second penalty, so don't go straight up on whole breaths. You have a five-second hold.

OK, Lance, we're going to come out behind Verstappen ahead of Piastri. So, we're just going to push to the end on this tyre. Still manage the high speed. Use the grip in the low speed. New soft gear. Piastri three behind. He will be a blue.

Piastri 2.5 behind will be a blue. And we're still hoping for a safety car so we make sure we have some tyres left for that. We'll just make up as much track position as we can.

Piastri is doing 23.2, so he may not catch you very quickly.

Six laps to go at the line. Six laps to go. Remember, manage 9, 12, 13, but use the tyre everywhere else. Good job.

Gasly ahead is doing 25.4, so you're definitely catching him. Probably a bit too far up the road with the penalty, but your laps are very good.

Four laps to go. You can consider left toggle turn 2. Very good pace, good laps.

There'll be three more timed at the line. You'll have good tyres if there is a safety car.

OK, blue flag, Piastri, blue flag, Piastri, and then it'll be two to go at the line. Blue flag, Piastri.

If it's oversteery, let's do torque 12 and you can also do entry and mid up.

Possible debris on the main straight from a puncture. Possible debris on the main straight. We'll need two more timed. Just try and get it home.

OK, Lance, Hadjar is slow ahead in 13. Hadjar is slow with a puncture ahead, going into 14 now.

There's Hadjar here.

OK, starting last lap. Debris right-hand side off the... OK.

OK, Lance, nothing worked out today.

Okay, Lance, well, nothing worked out today. Sorry about that. We would have been, if we hadn't done this gamble thing, we would have been like 15th, so we just gave it a go, but it didn't work out.

You okay in there? I'll come see you in a minute.
