Ready to... Yeah, ready to go down and clear.

Yeah, ladder.

It's not working.

Lando, tyre info. Hamilton and Daniel start on soft. Fernando, Hulkenberg and Zhou start on hard. Everybody else starts on medium.

30 seconds to go.

20 seconds to go.

10 seconds to go.

Okay, Lando, that was on target. We need C13, position 10. That's purple, C13, position 10.

Lando, just remember, blue B1 before the burnouts. That's blue B1.

Last car approaching the grid.

Strat 12.

DRS enabled. Leclerc 0.7 behind.

Leclerc with DRS.

I must have another problem.

OK, be careful.

Feeling kind of like Asper P2 at the minute. Understood. Asper P2.

Okay, Lando, Verstappen has retired. Russell is in P5. He's four seconds back, holding up the entire group behind him.

Ah, 3 from the left.

OK, Lando, we're currently pushing our critical corners a bit harder than the others. Braking similar on Oscar. Ferrari a bit better. Russell potentially worse.

Yeah, but I have a DRS, of course I have to push.

Understood. And Lando, both safety car windows are open. Please confirm that both safety car windows are open. And happy with down one for the hard? No, I think keep it up for now. Understood.

And Lando suggests yellow G3, yellow G3. Some of the cars towards the back have pitted already. Ricardo, Joe, Albon.

And the race picture, Russell P5 is 4.7, Gasly is P13, he's 15.7.

And Lando, last lap Hamilton pitted from P9. He started on the soft. He's 27.3.

And Russell has just hit it.

Lando, how's the tyres? How's the pace? Yeah, I'm struggling front left. Yep, they're safe. Pacing's okay otherwise. Bravia's quick at the show.

Suggest green F4, green F4. Is it first box? Yep.

Am I at 100% pace? Not at the moment. But I'm going to start to struggle a lot. OK. OK, we need to try and deviate.

Fernando Leclerc and Oscar might get held up by Hulkenberg and Gasly. Gap to Russell is 25. Germany situation please.

And Lando suggests straighten turn 13 braking. Right-hand toggle will help. Gap to Hulkenberg 18.5. Still holding up Leclerc.

Lando, we have to manage turn 13. Right-hand toggle will help. Leclerc and Oscar through on Hulkenberg. Leclerc, 19.0.

Okay, Lando, we're just going to try and extend this. So, Russell, 24.6.

And the car behind is Perez 7 seconds. He overdid it, so he's taking back.

OK. What does it feel like? It's potentially clearing up a little.

I think I'm struggling a lot now.

I'm struggling a lot. It's a slow speed and I'm losing a lot of strength. OK, understood.

100% Payson, please.

And Lando, we will box this lap. Box this lap.

Box now. Box now.

Brakes on when you come to a stop.

Launch that, launch that, launch that. You could be close to Oscar at turn 1.

Lando, out lap 2-2.

And Lando, if you want to bring the pack up, you can use track 11. And suggest holding 7th into turn 1.

Okay, Lando, this is plan A target lap. Plan A target lap. The car behind you is Hulkenberg, five seconds back, hasn't stopped yet.

Lando Hamilton slow to 9-10. Alonso still out on the hard. He started graining light a couple of laps ago.

Lando, there's currently a yellow flag from turn 10 halfway to turn 11. Hamilton has stopped on the right-hand side.

Virtual safety car deployed. That's Hamilton after turn 10, I think on the right.

Keeping on the delta.

Alonso will take it.

Ready to come out ahead, I guess.

Should be behind.

Virtual safety car ending. Virtual safety car ending.

Okay, so that's Alonso three and a half seconds behind you on a used medium, i.e. his scrubbed one.

Just be careful of his bottom toggle turn 11. Tailwind there.

Okay, Lando, race update. Our race is with the Ferraris ahead. Alonso is 5 behind. Russell 10.5 behind and Perez is just behind him. It's plan A, target lap.

And Lando, Oscar's reported a little bit of graining through opening up. It's a long race ahead.

And Lando, ACS button press please. Car behind Alonso is now Perez. 12 seconds.

OK, Lando, we're seeing quite consistent behaviour. So, on lap 11 or 12, we expect the graining to open up. All cars are similar. Oscar and Leclerc.

How's the tyres? How's the pace? Yeah, I'm starting to get a bit of dirty air. The pace feels pretty strong.

And Lando, turn 9 as discussed after qualifying.

And Lando, question, if there was a safety car, would this tyre restart?

Funnel, yes.

Yeah, I'm getting a lot more push now. I'm going to start to affect my tyres. Okay, understood. Early lift, turn 12. 1.5 seconds.

Come on, Lando. We'll swap positions.

I have understeer at turn 5 and oversteer at turn 8. I have understeer at turn 5 and oversteer at turn 8. I have understeer at turn 5 and oversteer at turn 8. Copy.

Ok Lando, I know you are, but we want to try and get up behind you.

Where else can I improve my driving?

Please don't laugh. Stand by.

And Lando, opportunity. Try preparing the exit more in the final chicane like we tried. And Leclerc last lap to the 22.2.

And Lando, yellow G6, yellow G6.

Yeah, correct.

Lando, if you think you can take it, try bottom toggle turn 13.

And 100% pace please, 100% pace.

Lando, box to overtake Leclerc. Box to overtake Leclerc.

And Lando, we want to use right hand toggle for turn 13. Right hand toggle for turn 13.

My steering help.

Yes, we are staying out.

So, Lando, Leclerc came out ahead of Perez and Alonso, so he's 18.9. So, the goal here is just to stay out, use the tyre, try and build up a gap, and then we'll have to push up behind him on the final stint.

Lando, do you think plan A, target plus five is possible?

Yeah.

And Lando, 100% pace, please, 100% pace. Yeah, already am. Leclerc, 19.0.

So, Lando, Leclerc is 18 seconds behind. He managed his pace for a few laps and then pushed to maintain a gap to us. So, our decision is we either pit and then try and attack him.

Or we extend a bit to build up a bit of a gap. OK. Which is your preference? A little bit early.

Well, I think we're quicker, so give him a five lap head start and then we'll go.

If I get close to some of these cars ahead, I'm going to start to lose pace. OK, understood.

Starting to lose a bit of time now. Okay, we're going to box this lap. Use the tyre.

Lando, I'll do no adjust for the wing. Yeah, happy.

Box this lap. Box this lap.

Launch map on in the pitlane. Brakes on when you come to a stop.

Launch map. Launch map. Launch map.

OK, Lando, Leclerc is four seconds ahead. In front of him are two backmarkers, Zhou and Bottas. Seventeen laps to go. I'll leave you to it.

What lap times is he doing? He did 20.4 last time, 20.5 the time before.

Opportunity. Minimum speed. Turn 13.

Suggest silver D7, silver D7.

What did he do last lap? Base for 20 dead. OK, please pick up.

And Lando, the full safety car window is open. Please confirm. Copy.

So, Lando, just remember that Leclerc decked off a bit more than us last time round. His tyres are a bit worse condition than yours and six laps older.

Yeah, I just turned off the pace.

And safety car windows are closed. Safety car windows closed.

Three laps to go.

But I never get DRS at the correct position. He keeps getting lucky. He keeps getting away from it.

So, Lando, you had the fastest lap. It's just been taken. It's a 19.8 if you want to go for it. Currently, yellow flags turn 6. Oh, big crash.

Virgil safety car deployed. Virgil safety car deployed. It's the last lap? Yep. Virgil safety car deployed. There's a car in pieces in the middle of the road. Turn 6 to turn 7. Yeah, okay. ACS button press, please.

Is everyone alright? Yes, it's Russell. He said on the radio he's okay. It's double yellows where you are.

So we will finish the race behind this VSC now.

OK, that's P3. And no switch changes required.

Whoop whoop. Well done. Awesome. First podium. Not far behind the rest. It's getting exciting. I'm excited. Cheers everyone. Good weekend, good points, awesome job. Thank you very much. Let's keep pushing. We're not far away from winning, so let's get the next steps. Great. Good effort, mate. Well done. Great. Good job.

Lando, the medical car is on track where the accident is, so drive very slowly through there, please. Very slowly.

Okay, Lando, so when you come into the pitlane, you'll be directed down to the pit exit, all the way down to the pit exit.
