Max Verstappen
11:31:33
Yeah, radio check.
11:32:02
Tyres are quite cold.
11:35:30
All OK for now. It's getting... yeah, yeah. I mean, yeah, the tyres are there to help, you think?
11:35:59
The right-hand side is not really coming down, as I thought. Let's just do another slope.
11:36:11
He's getting us in a grip.
11:36:16
Also track is really bumpy.
11:36:24
Yeah, it's really bumpy everywhere.
11:36:36
Yeah, everything felt good, just turn 9, I suddenly understeered. I don't know if it's a gust of wind or whatever, it just felt a bit weird.
11:36:57
Yeah, I'll try again.
11:41:18
We are boxing, right?
11:43:29
They get a little bit hot, so I try to hold them a bit.
11:43:43
At 9, this is my first lap, that's weird. So now I'm a bit under it. I think I can have a little bit more front than general there. At 11, I'm trying some curves. Some work, some don't.
11:44:39
Hold on.
11:45:26
My tyres are getting hot, front tyres especially.
12:00:59
I like the softer front. I think it's better for the car.
12:12:45
OK, so not looking to abuse the tyres on this outlap. My tyres are not in brake tach, man.
12:12:55
Was that a front brake nut or into the rear? Into the rear.
12:13:04
Yeah, right here. Okay, we're keeping an eye on it.
12:13:28
Okay, Max, we'll come through the pitlane and reboot that.
12:14:40
Fairbairn opening lap now. He's at the timing line.
12:14:48
Bear minute five seconds.
12:14:57
OK, and Zhou has seven seconds.
12:15:01
Keep an eye on someone so I don't have to do another one. Yeah, understood.
12:15:12
Berman is likely to be high fuel. Zhou at three seconds.
12:15:22
Zhou, probably low fuel.
12:15:30
Next car behind. Stroll 10 seconds. Expect to use high fuel.
12:15:52
Correction, we think Stroll is low fuel. Stroll four seconds, so let Stroll go.
12:16:01
There'll be no further threats.
12:16:11
OK, give yourself a gap to Stroll. Casey pushes again, but we believe it's low fuel. Too late.
12:17:45
OK, recharge on.
12:18:06
Do you want to do a second lap like this or would you like to come in and we can change something or look at high fuel?
12:18:14
Ah, very, very solid.
12:18:18
Twelve minutes. Leclerc at three seconds. I'll just do another lap. OK, so let's do a double call.
12:18:32
Zhou at three seconds. Zhou at three seconds.
12:18:39
And now Russell at five seconds.
12:18:54
Do you want to drive through the pitlane and have a look at a flap adjust in either direction, Max?
12:19:00
Two clicks more then. OK, so boxing for flap adjust.
12:19:11
Gasly at 6 seconds, next car behind.
12:19:57
OK, box.
12:20:45
Leclerc opening a lap.
12:20:55
Leclerc at 2 seconds.
12:21:07
Max, just to break down the sectors, you're currently purple sector 1 and 3, but we're losing four tenths. Obviously 11 to 12, you highlighted, but turn 7, I think, and 9 are also a little bit weak.
12:21:24
Russell at four seconds.
12:21:32
What is it? I understand I'm off, but what's going on there?
12:21:50
Sergeant on an outlap but he might be high fuel. He's behind you now.
12:22:04
OK, next corner time lap is Ocon at turn 9. So if we try and back it up and make sure we give Sargeant a good gap.
12:22:14
Overcome turn 11.
12:22:20
I did a good job with my tyres.
12:22:24
Ocon at turn 9. Think about having a look at Porto for turn 11.
12:23:40
What the fuck?
12:23:45
OK, Checo behind, two seconds, pushing. We've got Daniel at 3, Ocon at 6, all pushing. Daniel now, Ocon.
12:23:59
And then Beerman at 5, he's pushing.
12:24:06
Max, do you want to have another look? If not, we can come in and box and wait to go out and take the grid start. No, I'll just stay out. OK. Let's have a look at a double call.
12:24:18
Hamilton, turn 18, pushing.
12:24:27
Norris probably opening a lap now at turn 18.
12:24:37
So Norris and Piastri both pushing compulsion out.
12:24:43
I think all cars behind on time, that's max. Zhou at three.
12:24:58
Max, let's have a look at opening the high-speed diff.
12:25:04
That'll be display 5, position 2. Let's have a look at that for turn 9. Leclerc at 3 seconds.
12:25:15
Bottas at 2.
12:25:22
And now Sainz at four seconds.
12:25:33
Sainz at 3. Tyres are still too hot. Can we do another slow? Yes, exactly. We'll do a double slow. We'll count it from where we closed that last lap.
12:25:44
Still four and a half seconds to check flag, so fine.
12:25:49
Russell at two seconds.
12:25:59
Sergeant at four seconds.
12:26:12
Tsunoda, six seconds.
12:26:18
Snyder at full.
12:26:29
OK, next car, Daniel at 10.
12:26:33
So the second call-out, keep braking temperatures down.
12:26:40
Daniel at 4.
12:26:54
Ocon, at 4.
12:27:02
Bit more than a minute and four.
12:27:08
We need to start looking at a gap. Is that 4 or 5 seconds? Yeah, at the moment they are. Hamilton coming through at 2 seconds.
12:27:22
Can we get engine 13, position 8, please engine 13, position 8.
12:27:50
Thanks to the bitter track we're in now, it's probably not a bad place for us to be.
12:27:57
How far are the people behind them? We've got a couple of cars that are going to come through. Hulkenberg at 3, Leclerc and Bottas, they'll all pass us, but behind them there is a good gap.
12:28:13
Hulkenberg pass now.
12:28:19
So, Charles at two seconds.
12:28:27
And now Bottas at 3.
12:28:34
Sainz at 5 and then the gap between Sainz and Russell is the one we don't aim for, Max. We go back up all the way into Russell. So let Sainz go.
12:28:47
What's that gap? Russell at 4 now. 3, Russell at 3, so use all of the gap. Russell at 2.
12:28:59
Russell at 1.
12:30:09
OK, everyone coming past on time-lapse. So Sargeant and Tsunoda, there's a bit of a gap.
12:30:23
OK Max, this is a good gap. We've got to check a flag, so we'll come round and get ourselves ready for a grid start.
12:30:38
OK Max, we're going to abort the start and just box. So, box this lap. That's better.
