Radio check, Lance.

Loud and clear.

Clear. Eight minutes till we go. Track 10.

Until we go, track temp still 53.

Bortoleto.

Bortoleto in...

In P16, I think he's not on the grid, so there'll be an empty space.

Base, two places ahead of us.

of us. All that matters is we stop in this spot where it says 18 Stroll on the right.

The other cars ahead pulled into the wrong spot, so we just need to be one behind.

We just need to be one behind Fernando in our position.

Six minutes until he goes. Six minutes.

Can you try and understand what he's trying to clear?

You can be clear of your on-board clearance.

Just over five minutes till we go.

OK, lads, all cars.

Medium except Cadillac is on.

Cadillac is on soft.

Three minutes till we go. Three minutes.

Two minutes till we go. Two minutes.

Okay Lance, make space so you can push through turn one.

Turn one, lean on it through turn one and then weaving up to three.

That's good weaving, weaving, and then lean on it through turn three and four.

Weaving and then a good brake for five. Good brake for five. Make space in 6-7.

Blue Speed scrubbing here.

Lean on it through 8 and then weaving down to 10 when you can.

Good brake for 10.

We're weaving and then lean on it through 12, 13.

Either you've got the pack now...

Go ahead, just do some scrubbing, lots of scrubbing.

Burnouts, eight burnouts.

Remember, left side in your position where the sign is.

Left side, your position.

Remember, run, switch, start in the box. Run, switch, start.

Higher temps are coming up. Fronts are still low.

Below, ball test, Bortoleto behind, already.

Behind already boxed for a hard, so we'll try and do a whole race on the hard, I guess.

That was interesting in the tunnel. Did you see that? Yeah, I see it, I see it.

That's 10.

See you later.

Box now, Lance. Box now.

Box now. Box now, Lance. Box now.

Tire green, dry R. Tire green, dry R. Close.

Close to Bottas at pit exit.

The Bottas at pit exit.

I'm doing well.

Ando ahead. We should be ahead of Bottas.

OK, good. We're ahead of Bottas.

Get the tyres, get the temps up, get them going.

These tyres can go to the end. We just need to build temperature. So now you're ahead of Bottas.

You're ahead of Bottas, Bortoleto and Bearman.

Just don't slide the fronts too much on entries.

Same lap time as Perez and Fernando ahead.

Top jet are doing 19.7.

Good job opening a gap behind Bottas.

Opening a gap behind Bottas doing 20s.

Behind us once he's completed that.

Perez in for a penalty now. He'll be coming out somewhere behind.

Laps 0.3 quicker than Fernando. Perez six behind.

Good laps. Keep building temp.

We'll have leader blues in four laps.

Reducing understeer mid four if you want it.

Endo 19.6.

5 behind. It'll be a blue in a lap or two.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

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

Peter Antonelli, 2.5. He'll be a blue next lap.

Next lap, last lap, Fernando, 19-0.

Blue flag Antonelli.

Lewis Hamilton, he's three behind 2.5.

And the next one is Leclerc six.

You want to help understeer 7.8, it would be left toggle. I don't know what understeer you see, it's just the rear is getting worse.

OK, copy that, copy that.

Blue flag Hamilton. After him is a five-second gap to Leclerc.

Torque 11 for less engine braking to help rear.

Blue flag Leclerc. Blue flag Leclerc.

This blue is like eight seconds back, so you have a few laps.

Torque 12 also available for minimum.

That's the start. Yeah, I thought you'd put a lot better in.

I see it, I see it.

Every suggestion they make is just worse, so don't speak for me, son.

Please stop. First to the race.

It's dropping and dropping and dropping.

Grip is the surface temps, Lance. It's the surface temps. They will get better. They will come down.

Fernando, quicker lap times than Fernando.

19.5, Paris behind 19.5.

Just behind 19-0.

I have a green default C.

It will be green.

Green, Fault C, 20.

C-28 OK.

28. OK.

Green, default C, twenty-eight.

Default C, 28. OK.

28. OK, when you can.

You can. There is 2.2 behind.

All good. Thank you, Lance.

Green off when you can.

Go run switch race one. Race one when you can.

Last lap Perez 19.5.

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

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

Fernando 19-2, 19-2.

18.2, 19.2.

Mode 7, mode.

Go to 7, mode 7 when you can.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

Where did that rear lock come from?

Yeah, we see it. We see it.

Now then, torque to target changing. Torque to target.

Changing. Torque to target changing.

Understood. Understood.

Fernando, 19-0. You're still quick.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

Definitely a downgraded downshift into 10 last lap that caused the lock.

We see the torque change. We'll try to fix it.

Trying to fix it. Fernando, 19-3.

Go to Parc fermé.

Every time to the last corner I get a big kick.

Doing what we want there. You are correct.

19.3, Pérez 18.9.

It's ridiculous that when I don't apply enough brake pressure...

Check that the torque isn't there.

Work as a bear.

I get all these downgrades and stuff.

So annoying.

Yep, that's clear.

We try run switch race 4. Race 4 may help some torque problems.

Fernando, 19-0.

18.9, Paris doing one minute twenty.

He's doing 1 minute 20.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

Piastri five behind will be a blue in a couple laps.

Fernando, 18.8.

28, Perez 19.9.

There it is.

He's in blues now.

The last lap 19.1, Piastri.

19-1. Piastri four behind, he'll be a blue.

Yes.

Lando, 19-0.

Fernando 19-0, Piastri 2.5 behind.

No transcript available

There's some kind of stalling in the aero.

At turn three, it's like it washes out.

Copy that. Turn three. We'll make a note. We'll figure it out.

Fernando 19-0, Piastri 1.4, he'll be a blue next lap.

Piastri, blue flag Piastri.

Explode, Gasly.

Gasly, Norris, 7 behind.

Gasly's doing 19.1.

A few laps before they get there.

I'm jamming the fucking corner with the inconsistent...

Consistent engine braking, ma'am.

Yeah, understood, Lance. That will be our third stride.

We've got a third strike, so we're just going to have to take a lot of margin there.

It's not about margin.

No margin. I can brake 15 metres earlier and the car will just push.

Understood, Lance. Understood. Just do what you can.

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

19.7. Gasly behind is...

Is 19 and he boxed.

Eight seconds to the next leader car, Russell, eight seconds behind.

There is tech in the tyres, for sure.

Yeah, understood, Lance, understood.

Holding people up ahead doing 122s, so we'll probably catch.

We'll probably catch that pack, so we need to stay out for that for sure.

Understood about tyre drag. Understood.

Red flag Russell. Blue flag Russell.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

The best way to keep the tyres going is to keep leaning on it in high speed and keep the energy flowing.

High speed, keep the energy in, in high speed.

High speed to keep the tyres going.

Antonelli 1.5, he'll be a blue this lap.

Blue flag Antonelli. Blue flag Antonelli.

Hadjar is two behind him.

Move for Hadjar and then you're clear.

Get the tyres up again.

Try going again.

Look at that.

Start, shift, turn 3.

Cop 8. Cop 8. That is just fucking...

It's crazy, that's about all.

The advice would be to delay the downshift to avoid downgrade.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

Tyres at the limit, keep pushing in the high speed and watch traction 1 in 19.

Fernando's in blues, but he was doing like a 1.20.

OK, Lance, we will...

Limits, but it isn't affecting our race at the moment, so it's all OK.

Fernando's doing 19.6. He's five seconds ahead.

X-car behind Perez is 20 behind.

Piastri 1.7 behind will be a blue next lap.

That'll be a blue next lap.

Blue flag Piastri. Blue flag Piastri. Hamilton three behind him.

We'll pay Hamilton soon for a blue.

Post-lag Hamilton, then Leclerc three behind Hamilton.

Blue flag Leclerc. Blue flag Leclerc.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

OK, Lance, we'll have some laps in free air here quick.

Nice and free air. You're quicker than Pérez and Bortoleto, so if we open a gap to them, we could get a free pitstop.

Safety car and VSC windows are open.

Temp across compared to the other car.

13 behind. Pérez is 17 behind.

Cleared torque to target.

Sorry, Lance. Sorry.

Sorry. Talk to the target now.

Number P0. P0.

E-Zero. E-Zero.

It was like the throttle was just stuck wide open. Yep.

Yep, we see it, Lance.

The car is safe, Lance. The car is safe. Just remember P0 before you...

P0 before you get out.
