06:57:45
OK, that's still two and a half minutes to the green light.
06:57:56
OK, Alex, so when you get to the end, you can switch off and I'll let you know 30 seconds before.
06:58:17
How do we compare on outlaps to runners?
06:58:34
Yeah, Alex, we don't have a good read on it. Probably everyone would be fairly similar.
06:58:48
Okay, that's 90 seconds until the session. So, I know there's a lot of cars down there, but we just need to make a gap at pit exit. So, if you can, you can let the car ahead go around the end of turn 1 before you go.
06:59:12
Worth ruling here because Kevin's clearly about to go and we came up the pits before he did.
06:59:27
If we were there first, then we're ahead of the queue. So it should be your position, but just caution. Make sure he doesn't force his way out. So that is 40 seconds, so you can start firing up.
06:59:56
20 seconds.
07:00:11
Five seconds.
07:00:17
Green light.
07:01:29
Gap to Zhou ahead. Five seconds.
07:02:03
Zhou, four ahead and Magnussen, four behind. So, the two cars ahead of you are Zhou and Ocon. Ahead of Ocon there's a big gap, 13 seconds, so it should only be those two, Ocon and Zhou, and go switch to go out.
07:02:35
Yeah, so cars ahead in launching now such as Ocon and Zhou to go ahead of you. Gap currently 2 to Zhou, behind is 11 to Magnussen.
07:02:48
OK, Ocon going now. Zhou is four ahead. Go switch to go push.
07:04:47
Okay, so when you arrive, stop on the mark and switch off.
07:04:52
I lost the front tyres in turn 2. Literally turn 2 and I was gone. The rest of the lap was over.
07:05:44
Up 1, please.
07:05:56
Greg, I don't know what else to do there. Literally felt really good into 1 and then by turn 2 the fronts were already gone.
07:06:15
Alex, could you set GO DAT? Reset the brake balance.
07:06:20
And I see you said torque 11. I think that's positive.
07:06:54
Cadix in bleed. Level 6. Pit exit.
07:07:05
Okay, so Perez three back starting the lap.
07:07:11
Perez just with you now.
07:07:19
I got out of his way as much as I could. There was no way I could have got out of the way more. Copy, so Ricciardo 2 back.
07:07:35
Okay, Ricciardo with you now. Then it's clear behind him.
07:07:45
Ok, so manage the front in the high speed where you are now.
07:08:09
Go switch to go out and press anti.
07:08:34
OK, Leclerc ahead will be slow, so don't need to worry about him. Ahead of him, track's clear.
07:08:50
I just go push before final corner.
07:10:36
Over the line, go switch, go in. We need a quick in lap.
07:10:47
Okay, nobody pushing behind.
07:10:51
Folks are just dying completely on me.
07:11:34
Press anti-button.
07:11:59
How fast are we on time? Just so I know.
07:12:06
Yeah, we're okay, so no concern.
07:12:16
OK, box, Alex, box.
07:12:43
When you arrive, just follow Jack's instructions and you can switch off.
07:13:09
Really tricky out there.
07:14:16
OK, track clear. Pit exit.
07:14:29
Okay, nobody pushing behind. So gap ahead to Zhou, it's currently six seconds. So do what you can to create a gap, but this is okay as it is. Car behind is Logan, ten back.
07:14:54
Okay, so same again. Manage the high speed on this outlap. 27.89.
07:15:26
Go switch to go out. Joe 11 ahead, Logan 7 behind, all in phase.
07:15:59
OK, Zhou 13 ahead, so gap is perfect. Just need to go push.
07:17:48
OK, over the line, go switch to go in.
07:17:56
Okay, so target minus one to minus three on the dash. That was not a good lap. Apparently P7.
07:18:11
First pushing is Ocon, four back.
07:18:17
Ocon 2.
07:18:24
Ex-Porsche Leclerc 7.
07:18:41
Leclerc, 5, pushing.
07:18:53
Three seconds, Leclerc.
07:19:04
And then, last pushing car, Tsunoda 7.
07:19:20
Tsunoda, 3.
07:19:29
OK, and now no threat from behind.
07:19:41
And box, Alex, box!
07:20:05
Okay, so just drive up and stop in front of our garage. Follow Jack's instructions.
07:28:11
OK, Alex, there's a few cars ahead of you, but same again, if you can open the gap before the safety car 2 line. So just let the car ahead of you go.
07:28:21
I think I want to see him going around turn 1. That's probably a big enough gap.
07:28:55
Gap ahead four. Five.
07:29:01
That's six seconds to Piastri ahead.
07:29:08
Gap ahead now 7, so that's good. And behind is 6 to Norris.
07:29:15
B-Bal offset plus one.
07:29:35
Okay, so manage the high speed where you are now as much as you can.
07:30:08
Go switch to go out.
07:30:22
Gap ahead 7.0. Gap behind 6.0. And ahead of you, there's just two cars to start laps. Alonso is in the final corner now, he's going, and that's just Piastri, 6.0 ahead.
07:30:40
Piastri's four ahead, just starting a lap now. He's in the final corner. Ham's five ahead. Go push. Six ahead.
07:32:28
OK, overline, go switch, go in. I'm going to do another quick in-lap, please.
07:32:37
Let's revert for the torque, Luke.
07:32:43
Yeah, copy that, Alex. He's on it.
07:32:54
They're still all clear behind.
07:33:36
Red flag, red flag. Okay, so go safety car. Sainz has had a spin in the final corner, so you won't see him.
07:34:20
It's a box, Alex, a box.
07:34:46
When you arrive, stop in front of our garage and switch off.
07:48:00
Okay, so same as before, let's create a gap to the car ahead before safety car 2 line.
07:48:27
Is that Sainz or Charles in front? I don't know. Is it possible that he's going to have some damage?
07:48:36
Yeah, we think it's Sainz.
07:48:40
Sainz will be doing slow outlaps, so leave as big a gap as you can to him. Just maximise the gap to Sainz.
07:48:54
OK, yes, it is Sainz to confirm. So, as big a gap as you can. We're OK on the time. No concerns there.
07:49:10
Okay, so gap ahead to Sainz is seven seconds. So the car just ahead of you now is Russell. He'll be on an in-lap, so don't need to worry about him.
07:49:33
It's tight. 7.
07:49:38
Same approach at high speed, so manage as much as you can. Gap to Sainz ahead to 7. And Russell may push again next lap, but he should be slow on this call.
07:50:10
Good job. So we'll just stay ahead of Russell. And gap to Sainz ahead, 10.
07:50:16
Don't switch to go out.
07:50:24
Okay, so Russell just behind you will pit this lap, so no concerns. Sainz ahead 10 seconds and still nobody pushing behind.
07:50:35
So, ahead of you there's three cars starting push laps. Ocon is just going now, and there's Ricciardo and Sainz. There's a gap to Sainz at 7.
07:50:45
Gap is 5. He's backing off to create a gap.
07:50:50
Sight is 3 ahead. So we just need to go push when you're ready. Sight's 4. 5.
07:52:40
OK, that's the chequered flag. It's Gosex to go in.
07:52:45
Alphonse, just clear the path. Okay, so target minus one to minus three on the dash.
07:53:03
Okay, so currently P14 and I don't think there's anyone else completing the lap. So, yeah, P14. Good job.
07:53:12
We are so on a knife edge with everything.
07:53:29
Well managed Alex. We can see from the video it's just difficult to get between the high speed and low speed but well done today.
07:54:36
Box, Alex, box.
07:54:58
OK, when you arrive, just stop in front of our garage. Follow Jack's instructions.
