Lewis Hamilton
20:05:54
DRS has been enabled. 0.6 ahead. Very low grip. I'll beat you, that's what you say.
20:06:32
So 0.9 ahead and 0.6 behind.
20:07:10
Hulkenberg, same lap time.
20:08:04
Gap 1.7 ahead of 1.8 KM.
20:09:03
Early losses at late braking into turn 11. Just a little bit more speed towards the apex. Gap 0.8 ahead, 0.9 behind.
20:10:35
9.6 ahead, 1.7 behind. So George now the car behind.
20:11:10
1.7 ahead and 2.0 behind. Focus on exit turn 17 or an entry. What position am I in? You're P8.
20:12:12
So 9.6 ahead or 1.7 behind?
20:12:46
1.7 ahead, 1.9 behind. Still on turn 17. Exit. Maybe think about magic. OK.
20:13:10
Think about strat mode 7 when you're ready.
20:14:17
Winnie, you just had a big crash there. Yeah, copy, we saw that. Hulkenberg 0.8 behind. You've got three and a half ahead of Norris. Still focus on turn 17. Exit.
20:15:55
Brake. Brake. Brake. Copy that.
20:17:29
So, 0.5 ahead and 0.7 behind.
20:17:53
Just focus on that turn 8 exit. You are strong on the entry, so maybe a little compromise.
20:19:05
You've got 0.8 behind Hulkenberg.
20:19:10
Thanks for the help.
20:20:03
Gap to Hulkenberg at 1.1, but Norris ahead at 8.7.
20:20:11
Norris wins the 33.2 last lap.
20:20:44
So Hulkenberg at 1.0 behind me.
20:21:37
Hulkenberg 1.7 behind. Yeah, there's grip behind. I've got really poor grip. OK, copy.
20:22:11
So, George, now car behind at 1.9.
20:22:18
Gap ahead. 9.4 to Norris.
20:22:35
Norris is doing 33.4.
20:23:11
We'll just wait until we have a couple of laps of clean air data.
20:23:46
There's a group of cars that have stopped already and they're just sitting outside our pit window by about three seconds. I'll just use the tyre for the best stint.
20:24:09
Norris was a 33.5.
20:24:43
And Georgia with 2.0 behind. Last lap was 34.0.
20:25:19
So the Perez are two cars ahead. He's doing 33.9.
20:26:16
Sergio Perez, it was at 33.8 last lap. George, same as you.
20:26:56
Gap 2.0, well behind. 9.4 ahead.
20:27:50
So Doris was at 33.5, George at 33.4. Still got Hulkenberg just outside our pit window by two seconds.
20:29:24
Norris, Perez 33.2, George 33.4.
20:30:24
Perez in the pitlane now.
20:30:57
So, Norris at 33.5, George 33.6. Update the switch for your tag level.
20:31:55
Okay, bye, Lewis. Have a safe...
20:32:29
So, Norris at 33.1, George at 33.7, mate lost a late entry at turn 17 to run a little bit more speedy.
20:33:31
So, Leclerc, pit exit.
20:33:45
So Leclerc car behind 1.6.
20:34:03
Centrifugal behind a new hard tyre.
20:34:43
Set a flat out to 1.1.
20:34:59
You can't rear lock into turn 17.
20:36:11
There may be some debris on this straight.
20:36:37
I just regret that's a drink.
20:37:12
So George was 33.7 last lap. Gap is 2.8 to him. Verstappen, not the ball I'd offer at turn 15.
20:37:47
Lewis, if you give us a balance check. Balance check.
20:37:51
Yeah, the balance is OK. You're a bit understeery. And I've got locking turn 17 on the rear. Copy.
20:38:15
So VSC, VSC. Keep the delta positive.
20:38:26
So this could be short. I just need to recover that bollard.
20:38:34
Strat mode 1.
20:38:50
People stopping. I think I might have got screwed by this.
20:38:56
That's BNC, I think. So straight 7.
20:39:39
Are we in trouble? No, we're just reviewing it.
20:40:33
So, Lewis, for this picture, it actually doesn't look like it's changed too much, just Alonso is now coming to the picture.
20:41:10
That looks good. HPP 3, position 2. 3, position 2.
20:41:34
So, George in the pitlane now, so we're reviewing our position.
20:41:49
Tyres still feel good.
20:42:07
Copy that, Lewis. So, you've got your green sectors in now. Just keep ahead now.
20:42:44
I can't seem to see the car after that chicane.
20:43:39
This may have surface temp margin now, so maybe a little bit more tyre to use. Ocon made threats in our pit window.
20:43:48
I'm pushing this out of the camp, mate. Copy, that's all we need.
20:44:15
Yeah, just have to adjust my last timing.
20:44:26
OK, listen. Box, box, box, box.
20:44:57
It's a long way to go on this tyre. Yes, we have Ricciardo ahead. That is just ahead of George.
20:45:36
How many laps have I gone for this tyre, man? Jeez. There's 30 laps, but Norris is still sticking in purple lap times on his old medium.
20:46:07
So, deck looks on all other.
20:47:24
So, safety car, safety car. Keep the delta positive.
20:47:29
So I've got two cars off at turn 3.
20:47:42
So, this is getting a bit closer, a bit sooner.
20:47:47
I just need to stay tight in the delta.
20:48:34
Damn, lost position. Yeah, copy Lewis. Yeah, I thought it was going to be tight. What position are we in? Have we lost many?
20:48:46
It's only one position, so P8.
20:48:54
I've got Tsunoda ahead on the hard tyre, George behind also on the hard.
20:50:11
Can we outlay at the lap? At where? Am I losing time?
20:50:20
It's mainly turn 17 inconsistency.
20:50:24
Can I get that right sometimes?
20:50:50
It's just a sit-rep, so everyone in the top 10 on the hard tyre except for you and Perez. Perez P6.
20:51:08
So, he's going faster.
20:51:15
The safety car is waving everyone by, so pass the safety car.
20:52:44
So the safety car is now on the back straight. Norris is the car that needs to collect him and then we'll line up behind him.
20:52:52
So, previous lap, I got no beep through turn 3 and then all of a sudden a beep just came at turn 3.
20:53:03
OK, I'll have a look. I slowed down when I came on, it was quite late. Yeah, sure, sure. I'll have a look.
20:53:27
The cars ahead did slow down for turn 3.
20:53:37
OK, thanks for that.
20:53:45
Is there a safety car in this lap? It's a 4 behind us. OK, I was going to say that.
20:54:13
Same controls at turn 3 now.
20:54:24
Let me know which brake balance has been the best. Stand by.
20:54:51
Oh, B-Bal looks like at 59.4 is the best one.
20:54:58
Using the magic for turn 14, 16.
20:55:03
I'll give you some more updates as we are slowing.
20:55:11
So safety car is in this lap. Yeah, it's just at turn 17, but yeah, we're not going to be losing much. So bring it, you can brake it back more.
20:55:21
Just the mid part of braking. Just need to get a little bit more speed.
20:55:26
Just need to avoid going too hard.
20:55:52
We'll have it at strat mode 6.
20:56:01
I just remember focusing on the exit turn 8 when we were up behind Tsunoda.
20:58:21
DRS has been enabled.
20:59:15
Nice work, Lewis. You know we're 0.7 behind.
20:59:38
So it's Perez ahead 1.5, rest ahead of him on the hard tyre.
21:00:19
Gap to Perez now, 1.0.
21:00:47
Losses to Perez, turn 8 exit, turn 16 exit.
21:01:10
Gaps 2-0 to 1.7 behind, I think that's strat 7. I think we're turn 8.
21:01:44
So Perez, 31.6 last lap.
21:01:49
I can see you, just leave it for now. I'll ask if I need anything. Thanks, bye.
21:02:18
Just a little bit of traction at the back. No problem.
21:05:24
Yeah, I got the pace complete. I got the pace complete, guys. You're doing a good job, though.
21:08:28
Stepping out 3.6 behind.
21:08:51
So, Piastri's in the pitlane. Focus on Perez, 0.6 ahead.
21:10:25
You got any power? Give it to me.
21:13:27
Check out that last corner. Got this. Copy.
21:13:59
Yeah, we're happy with that corner, so 10.17 is good.
21:14:36
Car ahead has a lot of rear end. That's a no. Copy that. Strong into low speed.
21:16:29
So when you need it, you can be a bit earlier on the overtake for a bit more.
21:17:05
How's this tyre, mate?
21:17:12
Yeah, same as Verstappen, same as Sainz.
21:18:17
Just focusing exit turn 8.
21:18:35
Yeah, I can't get closer up there, right?
21:19:12
Turn position away. Copy.
21:21:03
Track temp now 40 degrees for your information.
21:22:13
Lewis, you also have overtake available if you need it. It's not yet, mate. Copy.
21:26:14
Battery's dead, mate.
21:26:19
Just give me a strat, eh? I'll come back to you.
21:26:51
Where's your heart? Tsunoda at 7 seconds.
21:27:41
So, Sainz in the car ahead of Perez. Under investigation for causing a collision. He is currently at 4.4 ahead. Just stay tight.
21:30:10
I'm not in the best shape, but I'm OK.
21:30:14
OK, copy.
21:31:23
Continue lap 2. Cross the line.
21:33:16
I don't want more laps.
21:33:57
And this will have an early overtake. Exit 16.
21:34:25
Gap to Sainz about 5 seconds.
21:34:54
Nice work, Lewis. So that's P6, mate. Felt like a reasonable day in the office there. Decent pace. Really good pace that second half.
21:35:03
Can we not get that point ahead? We'll see, it's under investigation. We'll see what he gets for it. Are we under five seconds or not? We're just over, but it depends what we're going to give him. It's a course exception, so yeah, we'll see.
21:35:19
So, just for your information, Norris P1, so that's his first win. Verstappen P2. Well done. Well done. Well done. Norris, great job guys. Thank you so much. Great job guys. We'll continue to push. Much better race performance today. Let's keep it up. Much better race performance. We got this.
21:35:40
Yeah, thanks Lewis. Nice work yourself.
21:35:44
We have Strat 14, HPP1, position 12.
21:36:23
Yeah, Lewis, that was more race pace. That was really good.
21:37:49
Not bad, wanna keep an eye out for the Red Bull. Hard stuff, but good effort. Yeah, well done you mate. It's been a while since we've done something like that.
