16:31:41
OK, so we'll be straight out. Radio check in pitlane? Radio check is loud and clear in the pitlane. First corner lap Magnussen, currently turn 17.
16:31:58
Magnussen just coming over the start-finish line now, and then 11 seconds behind him to Ocon, so Magnussen will be clear. So Ocon first car, 7 seconds, just opening his lap. Ocon at 5.
16:32:20
Ocon at 4. Radio check. Loud and clear. Ocon at 2 on a lap. And then it's Piastri. He is 7 behind. Just consider using the magic on this outlap. Piastri at 4 on a lap with Gasly 5 behind him. Strat 7 non-DRS and we can use overtake on this straight.
16:33:01
Pierre Gasly behind two seconds on a lap.
16:33:11
Our next car, Gasly 5 out of 4.
16:33:19
3 to Gasly on a lap and 11 behind him. I'll be strat 7 on this straight again and we can use overtake.
16:33:38
So many cars around. So Hulk behind is on his outlap. You got two cars currently in sector 3. And Zhou 10 seconds behind on a lap.
16:33:52
Strat 2. Strat 2. Good to go.
16:35:34
Strat 1 and we'll go for single cool. Hulk 3.5 behind just completed his lap. Loads of traffic. Yeah, lots in sector 1.
16:35:57
Targeting minus 15 if we can from here on your dash.
16:36:21
So currently got a double yellow at turn 13. That's Leclerc.
16:36:31
11-0, everyone. Cruises now. So we've got Ocon behind five seconds on a lap. If we can squeeze the cruises in now, we'll be good. So Ocon still at three. Now two.
16:36:56
So we've currently got the Ferrari blocking the track at turn 13. He's trying to do a 3.10 Piastri, car behind, on a lap.
16:37:10
Just, yeah, there's a bit of a traffic queue here at Walsh-Piastri. Sorry, Leclerc is blocking this track. Lewis has squeezed through behind him now.
16:37:26
That is still a double yellow.
16:37:37
So I expect quite a lot of traffic now in sector 3 with this.
16:37:52
So just Hulk ahead of Perez waiting to go. So Hulk has gone. Perez going. It'll be strat 2. Leclerc is still there on the track. I'll update you out of turn 9.
16:38:42
Red flag. So red flag, red flag, he's still parked there.
16:38:50
Cruisers. AFM. Let me know if you want me to shout them to you. Yeah, shout them. I can't see the dash. So this will be cruise 5 now. Look out now for Leclerc. Exit of 16. And then it will be cruise mode 5 out of turn 16 once you've passed Leclerc.
16:39:34
And going up to cruise mode 6. Obviously you've got Perez ahead of you though.
16:39:40
There's no overtaking Perez. And then it'll be cruise mode 7 to cancel. Oh yeah, you've gone cruise 1, that's fine.
16:39:56
So, just keep an eye on that pit entry, new layout for the pit entry and it will be stop on your marks with the cone in front and switch off.
16:40:25
And that was 10 long, but good speeding.
16:46:51
Sir, we see you currently in strat 16, George. Let me know if you want strat 7 on the back straight again. Negative, no need for that now.
16:47:08
You've got six ahead now.
16:47:14
Lewis has built a 10 second gap to Alonso and Alonso's got an 11-12 second gap to Perez.
16:47:48
Lewis has got 17 seconds ahead of him now to Alonso. Just keep an eye on Stroll, trying to push through behind.
16:48:26
So a big gap ahead of Lewis now. It will be all clear in sector 3. Just build that gap you need now to Lewis.
16:48:41
So it's four ahead to Lewis.
16:48:53
I'll be strat 2 next lap. Good to go.
16:50:35
OK, so we'll go strat 1 and a single cool for timing.
16:50:51
It's currently at P2, three and a half tenths to Perez.
16:50:59
Stroll cut behind four seconds, has just completed his lap. That's the name for Piastri. Should be everyone else.
16:51:19
The next car, Norris, is also parked on forest seconds behind us, so active on forest seconds behind us.
16:51:28
Sir Lewis Head is going for a double. Sir Lewis Head is going for a double.
16:51:51
Hulkenberg car behind on out lap. Just pushing through now. Norris also on a slow lap. Two seconds. So all the cars behind you are on slow laps.
16:52:17
Sir Hulk has got 9 ahead of him to Piastri, so that will be clear now in sector 3 when you get there.
16:52:38
So, Hulk has gone. It'll be all clear.
16:52:44
Next lap is going to be strat 2. Good to go.
16:54:29
OK, so strat 1. Box, box.
16:54:35
Now I have cruise modes on the way back in. Let me know if you have them. OK. So first one is cruise 2 out of turn 8.
16:54:56
So it looked like a good improvement. Turn 17 that lap. Copy, I made a 2-tap first stage. Yeah, 8. Give it a snap. So cruise mode 2 here.
16:55:10
And going up to cruise mode 9. First corner lap Verstappen at 14 seconds. Then it's cruise mode 4 out of turn 10. This is turn 10 here.
16:55:25
And then halfway down the straight up to cruise 5. So Verstappen at 8 seconds. Too many cars around to give a cruise isn't it? Yeah, AFAM. So just Verstappen at 6 on a lap. He's now a car behind at 5. And then behind that Magnussen, currently 15 seconds behind you.
16:55:59
Verstappen car behind on a lap.
16:56:16
It will be box, box, practice, pitstop and switch off.
16:57:02
Happy to fuel and go. Echo.
17:00:35
So it'll be straight out.
17:00:47
Sergio Perez just opening a lap. 3. Now 2 behind.
17:01:05
There's Joe Carbohydrate on a slow lap.
17:01:12
This car has low or high fuel.
17:01:23
Yeah, sorry, Perez is actually doing consecutives.
17:01:57
So, Gasly, six behind on low fuel.
17:02:17
Hello, what lap time Perez is doing? Perez is a 33.3 first lap and then 33.1. So I guess he's going to be low on fuel, right? Yeah, April.
17:02:58
Let me know if you're happy with me here or if you want me to back off.
17:03:29
So, George, we are happy for you to create yourself a space. You've got five seconds behind Nelton Gasly. It looks like he's gone into consecutives.
17:06:04
The upshift tyres are quite loud in my ear. Copy.
17:06:41
I recommend diff entry 5 for some of that understeer.
17:07:00
Strat 8, over the line, and just observing wind magnitude has increased, so wind has picked up.
17:08:17
Let me know what I should do in traffic.
17:08:34
So we're happy to stay with Perez here.
17:09:12
George, if you've still got that understeer, I'm recommending diff entry 4.
17:10:51
Gap behind. Oh, 30 seconds behind to Magnussen.
17:11:09
So we're happy to build about eight seconds and then we'll go for one more lap.
17:11:26
And we'll be strat 7 for this last lap.
17:13:16
So it'll be strat 1, box, box, and we'll try and do those cruise modes again on the in-lap.
17:13:31
And blue default 62, blue default 62.
17:13:45
George, just for your reference, Lewis' last two laps were 32.1, 32.3.
17:13:56
So Alonso six seconds behind on a lap.
17:14:13
So three behind Alonso, then clear behind him.
17:14:40
It's cruise mode 6, which is slightly slower. Just look out for Alonso behind on his lap.
17:14:56
So, box, box, stop any marks and switch off.
17:15:24
Still a little bit of understeer in the low speed. If we've got time, happily go a bit one step rearwards on the bar.
17:15:35
...if we want to stay on programme.
17:19:34
So we'll be straight out now.
17:19:38
Verstappen will be first car in a lap and he's currently turned 17.
17:19:47
Just think about the event tree. He got Verstappen five behind on his lap. Five to Verstappen. Now four. Three to Verstappen, then six behind him to Sargeant. Now Sargeant has been backed off.
17:20:08
So tricky seeing that through the mirrors on the pit exit.
17:20:33
So Verstappen ahead has backed off. He's got 14 seconds ahead of him to Sainz on his outlap.
17:21:05
So, this is going to be clear in sector 3.
17:21:16
So we'll get a good braking into turn 17 and we'll be all clear ahead.
17:21:25
I will be strat 2 next lap.
17:23:11
OK, so strat 1, clear behind. We'll go for double cool. And just confirm that you do want a second go on this tyre. OK. So we're going to target minus 20 from here, please, on your dash. First corner lap, Valtteri, seven seconds.
17:23:41
Coming down. 3, now 2. And behind him 7.5 to Hulkenberg. So that's 7, 6, 5.
17:23:57
4 to Hulk. L3.
17:24:04
2 and then it's clear behind him to Zhou, 25 seconds.
17:24:12
Hope coming through now and then all clear.
17:24:35
Should we pass it through the pitlane?
17:24:43
Yeah, I'm happy to do that.
17:24:53
Let me know if you need any flap adjust or anything as you're coming through.
17:25:14
Straight through the pitlane and straight out the other end.
17:25:24
Turn 17 is always quite snappy on the entry.
17:25:37
So we've got Sargeant just completing a lap now and then 3.5 behind him is Ricciardo who's at the end of his first slow lap. So I suspect he'll do a second slow and there's 14 seconds behind Ricciardo. So Ricciardo just keep an eye on him in case he has started. Car behind on the exit here. Two seconds at 1.
17:25:59
Clear behind now.
17:26:07
So we've got Alonso is going to be on consecutive laps, currently eight seconds behind.
17:26:16
He's doing a 32.6 last lap. Alonso at 4.0, now 3.0.
17:26:25
Two to Alonso.
17:26:33
Now, side skirt behind four seconds on an outlap. Behind that Zhou on a slow lap.
17:26:46
And just think about diff entry 6 at turn 17 only.
17:27:13
So just make sure you build that gap to Alonso on consecutive laps. He's clear behind. Did you say he's in 32s? Yeah, 32.6 previous lap.
17:27:29
I will be strat 2. Good to go.
17:29:15
OK, so we'll go strat 1. And checker flag is out now, so we'll have to come around one more.
17:29:25
Just keep an eye on Ricciardo at 4. Let me know if you want a Q in lap. Well, we're going to take the flag and then do the formation lap, but if you can do a Q3 in lap now, that would be good. So, Hulkenberg on the lap at 3. 2. 1.
17:29:46
Lewis behind on an outlap, Ricardo on a slow lap.
17:30:14
No transcript available
17:30:20
OK, so checkered flag is now out.
17:30:44
Please let me know where you'd like to target on the tyre taps.
17:30:54
Ideally, minus 20. I know that's going to be a tall ask on these tyres.
17:32:58
So, I'll be coasting down from turn 17 entry.
17:33:21
And then we'll have two longer burnouts on the left-hand side.
17:33:52
And then we'll have strat 13 for the start. Set your B-Bal.
17:33:59
I'm pushing to turn 8.
17:34:44
Clutch was on target. I will just try and build a little bit more of a gap to Lewis. Another five seconds.
17:35:05
And strat 1.
17:35:19
Radio check, George. OK, you got it. Strat 1.
17:35:37
OK, I should be good now.
17:35:44
Box, box, practice pitstop and switch off.
17:36:06
The landing there felt very smooth.
17:36:18
So that was 5 to the left and good speed in.
