06:53:57
Radio check.
06:54:06
Radio is loud and clear from the garage.
06:54:22
Flanauld. Yeah, copy. Hello.
06:55:03
Marcus, I'd like to return on that flap, so just where we had the lap to grid.
06:55:18
Five minutes.
06:57:17
Three minutes.
06:57:27
And the closest car on soft is Stroll at P11. Everyone around you is on medium.
06:58:18
Two minutes.
06:58:47
Ninety seconds. Fire up. Pit limiter on.
06:59:17
One minute.
06:59:32
45 seconds.
06:59:47
Byte point find. 30 seconds.
07:00:02
Fifteen seconds.
07:00:42
Clutch on target.
07:00:47
Recommending magic.
07:01:56
Doing a good job on tyres. Keep working them.
07:02:22
So we'll be coasting into turn 14.
07:02:52
And we'll have three burnouts starting at the control line and the final burnout at P13 Ocon.
07:03:16
That's correction, that's P13 Gasly.
07:03:44
And last car approaching the back of the grid.
07:04:52
Car behind Hulkenberg, point six.
07:05:37
So now Leclerc car behind 0.9. It will be DRS end of this lap.
07:06:35
DRS enabled.
07:06:48
Piastri will have DRS.
07:07:19
Leclerc behind does have DRS as well.
07:08:19
So Piastri has 1.5 ahead of him.
07:10:16
So Leclerc up behind has DRS.
07:11:57
Leclerc has DRS again.
07:13:41
Leclerc at point 7 behind with DRS.
07:15:25
Set a look at P5. We've got a look at P5. We've got a look at P3.
07:17:06
Leclerc, point 6.
07:18:11
Brilliant. Let's just go out.
07:18:17
No transcript available
07:18:49
Copy that. So you've got Sainz now, car behind one second with DRS.
07:19:55
No transcript available
07:20:31
Let's have a think about if we can break this. Really struggling for the left.
07:20:39
Yeah, A5 George, we're discussing.
07:21:56
George, just confirm balance, adjust and accept.
07:22:06
Spotted point 4.
07:22:23
So, box, box.
07:22:35
So check E-B switch.
07:22:50
This will be out lap critical. Strat 5 available.
07:23:08
Potentially stroll on exit.
07:23:12
Close with Stroll.
07:23:41
Check E-B switch.
07:23:48
And we've got Piastri right on our window.
07:24:46
So, Piastri has stayed out, so let's get into that tyre management now.
07:25:15
Can I go strat 13? Yeah, A-fil. Strat 13.
07:25:42
And currently on target for the next stoplap.
07:27:05
George, we suggest coming up on diff high speed.
07:27:14
Meltzer, turn 1.
07:28:08
So, George, just make sure you're looking after these tyres to make this stint length required. Recommending more lift in coast turn 11.
07:29:49
George, so both the Ferraris and Piastri are still to pit, but they will come out behind you on fresh rubber when they do.
07:30:01
How many seconds behind before they come out? So, Leclerc will be within a second. Gap 3.6 and a half.
07:31:05
And George, that first set was rear left limited, 60% remaining though, so it's just thermal degradation we're fighting here.
07:31:24
We've got Piastri in the pitlane now.
07:31:59
Piastri seven seconds behind.
07:33:39
Yes, Sainz has also pitted now 12 seconds behind.
07:34:48
So Piastri now car behind five seconds.
07:36:08
George, go to strat 12.
07:36:36
George, we're seeing quite high sliding turn 7. Just keep on top of that tyre management.
07:37:54
Turn 7. Looked a lot better that lap.
07:38:09
So we've got a yellow flag at turn 11. We've got a car stopped off track.
07:39:13
So we've still got a yellow flag here, turn 11. Valtteri stopped off track.
07:39:33
So, VSC, VSC. Strat 1. Delta. Copy. Consider boxing. Tyres, no rubbish.
07:39:48
So, we are staying out, staying out, George.
07:40:04
Keep tight to that delta as you're doing.
07:40:43
Keep on top of that delta.
07:41:23
So this is now a double yellow zone, so double yellow. And we'll have green 3, position 2.
07:41:48
Just let me know flap in case we do come into talk. Plus 0.5. There you go.
07:42:14
Staying out, staying out.
07:42:37
I've been out on tyres.
07:42:51
Not too sure how I'm going to restart.
07:43:03
So, we don't want to go any lower than another 5 degrees on the front and 10 on the rear.
07:43:37
George, can you just feedback, oh sorry, safety car, safety car. How many positions will we drop by Boxing?
07:43:57
Yeah, we think two positions, George. I think it's the right thing to do.
07:44:16
So we'll box, box, pit confirm.
07:45:04
That'll be clear on exit.
07:45:10
So this safety car is currently turn 7.
07:46:43
So you're doing a good job on tyres. You're targeting plus five where you currently are.
07:47:41
So, Piastri pitted again. He's now a car behind.
07:48:45
So, George, I'm sure you've spotted it. You're a smart lad. Alonso ahead is on a new soft. That means he's...
07:48:53
That means he's not going to make it to the end of the race on that tyre.
07:49:01
So just keep 10 car lengths now that we've bunched up behind the safety car.
07:49:32
We have 31 laps remaining.
07:49:39
I think I was optimistic to go to the end, but let's see how it pans out.
07:50:04
So, safety car in this lap.
07:50:42
So Verstappen controlling the pace now.
07:50:56
And we'll have Strat 12 for the restart.
07:51:24
So safety car is now in the pitlane.
07:53:06
George, we've got a yellow flag. Exit turn 6. Car pulling off the track.
07:53:20
So safety car, safety car. We'll get a delta positive. Staying out, staying out.
07:53:28
That'll be Strat 1. Thank you.
07:53:36
So I see B-Bal in error.
07:53:42
The contact was all at turn 14. I don't know if you spotted anything as you got there. If there's any debris.
07:53:52
Filming my lap, yeah? Yeah, I filmed.
07:55:29
So, we'd like to keep tyre temps where they are now.
07:56:26
So there's 28 laps remaining now.
07:56:41
So, Sainz, a car ahead, has six lap older hard tyres.
07:57:52
He's done a good job on tyre temps.
07:58:29
George suggests using diff magic for front temps.
08:00:23
Sir George, we're still seeing a double yellow out of turn 15. I see nothing. Doesn't seem to be any debris there. Copy that, thank you.
08:00:44
So just keep working those front tyres.
08:01:01
No transcript available
08:01:20
So we've got safety car in this lap.
08:01:25
That will be 25 laps to the end.
08:02:20
Now we can cancel that diff magic.
08:02:31
Verstappen ahead, controlling the pace now. It will be Strat 12 for the restart.
08:02:50
It'll be Strat 12 for the restart, as a reminder.
08:02:58
Safety car is turn 14.
08:03:04
Safety car at 15.
08:05:09
So Sainz ahead 0.8, Piastri behind 0.9 will be DRS at the end of this lap.
08:05:34
DRS enabled.
08:10:12
21 laps remaining. We're happy with what you're doing on the tyres at the moment.
08:12:15
George, there is some scope to push entry to turn 7 a little more.
08:13:32
19 laps remaining.
08:14:27
George, traction metrics look very good.
08:18:06
So Alonso on that soft starting to drop now. Last lap 40.5.
08:20:13
So that's 15 laps remaining. Alonso now doing 40.85 seconds ahead.
08:23:59
So Alonso has pitted for a new medium.
08:24:10
Alonso 19 seconds behind. You've got five cars between you.
08:24:30
And George, just think about efficient lifting coast turn 11.
08:25:16
Turn 11 looked better that lap.
08:27:21
George, just think about diff entry for low speed balance.
08:28:36
So that's 10 laps remaining. Alonso currently 14 seconds behind.
08:29:00
We're predicting Alonso will be close. End of race.
08:30:54
We suggest coming down on diff entry again if the low speed is still too understeery.
08:31:59
Eight laps remaining. Alonso at 12.5 seconds.
08:35:19
So that's six laps remaining. It's paced to Alonso. He's looking good at the moment. Gap currently 10.6.
08:35:43
Alonso, last lap was a 39.2.
08:36:59
So five laps remaining. I'll leave you to it unless you want more info on the Alonso gap.
08:42:01
So, two laps remaining. Strat 9.
08:43:14
So there's some debris potentially on line here between turn 14.
08:43:43
Final lap.
08:44:38
George, press overtake button, exit 13 and 14.
08:45:26
Nice job out there today, mate. So that's P6.
08:45:37
And if we have green on 1, position 12.
08:45:42
Well driven, George.
08:45:49
Thanks everybody for your efforts. It's been a big couple of races around the world but let's get to it. Let's keep on pushing and bringing some improvements. Thanks everyone.
08:47:03
Just collecting some marbles whilst you're out there.
08:48:07
So just watch out for Norris. He stopped on the pit entry because he meant to stay out. So we are coming in. Just look out for Norris. I think he is coming into the pitlane now.
