12:55:14
Radio check.
12:55:29
40.
12:55:47
There's no more understeer with this medium.
12:56:10
So I wonder whether or not we should keep some of that in or not.
12:57:12
Bono, what do you think? Do you think we should be where we are or go up one hole? I definitely wouldn't be adding Lewis. Yeah, I'm thinking down one, but... Oh, sorry, compared to where we've just been, I thought you... I was talking about if we'd taken two out already. Oh, no, no, no. Sorry, I hadn't done that just.
12:57:39
Thanks for watching!
12:57:59
You got down two or one?
12:58:05
So, just down one.
12:58:10
And compared to the other car.
12:58:15
That will be exactly that, down 1.
12:58:35
B-Bal wise, which one of those work better?
12:58:54
No transcript available
12:59:12
That's better. Finish your braking.
13:00:54
And clutch was on target.
13:02:03
Attempts look good, so we'll go for three burnouts. Three burnouts.
13:03:21
And last car approaching the grid.
13:04:40
Sir Hulkenberg is the car behind at point 7.
13:06:02
DRS has been enabled.
13:06:20
So, front-rear balance is definitely biased to the rear, so think about closing up diff high speed.
13:06:54
Magnussen's errors are untapped.
13:07:23
Yes, it looks like turn 17, 18 and turn 2 are good places to get that front to slide.
13:07:43
So Georgia 21-1.
13:09:01
Lewis will drop and lift the coast into 11.12. That's inefficient. Use it in turn 2 and turn 14. George 21.6.
13:09:38
It just feels like the wind is picking up.
13:10:24
Focus on traction. Turn 7, turn 13. George, 21.5.
13:11:45
Gap 1.1 ahead, 3.3 behind, George 21.5.
13:12:22
Yeah, car is quite oversteer this time.
13:13:05
I recommend B-Bal 60% with beaming three.
13:13:11
And if you do HPP3, position 2, when you get 3, position 2.
13:13:27
George is 21.3.
13:14:31
George is 21.4. Biggest loss pushing too much 5, losing 6.
13:15:08
Accident, just changed FTP, switch, check.
13:15:23
Happy with switches.
13:15:34
Better turn 6 this lap.
13:15:52
Checked by 18. Okay, standby. Okay, 18 was good. George, 21.6.
13:16:27
So we've got Albon's slow car, turn 12 at the moment.
13:17:49
Just a reminder, the lift into turn 11 isn't efficient.
13:19:39
Turn 7 looked good this lap.
13:19:59
George, 21.8. Looks like the wind's picked up a little.
13:21:17
OK, this braking is looking strong. Just think about exit kerb turn 12.13. That's where we're getting the surge. Maybe think about running a bit less kerb.
13:21:38
George is at 21.9.
13:22:37
Okay, so Perez behind is now in free air. He's 10 seconds away on the hard tyre. We'll update you on pace. George was at 21.8 that lap. Talk through the corners, mate.
13:24:03
George at 21.8.
13:24:20
And Perez also 21.8.
13:25:25
George, 21.8.
13:26:44
Looks like our target plus three. Target plus three. Georgia is a 22-0. If you can update the tyre switch.
13:27:49
And maybe gravel down exit turn 17.
13:28:08
This tyre would have taken maybe two holes more. How can I stop the car from oversteering into turn 1?
13:28:26
OK, stand by Lewis, we'll have a look. George was 22.2.
13:29:27
We're going to recommend a plus two on diff entry for turn 2, but you've already gone up plus one, so just another step.
13:29:48
George, 22-0.
13:30:54
George, 22.2.
13:32:11
George pitting now.
13:32:14
Tyres are still good.
13:33:36
OK, so we're going to go target plus seven. Target plus seven. Tyres still OK. Copy.
13:34:11
So I've got Sainz at 21.9. These lap times are good.
13:36:03
Tyres are still OK. Just, like I said...
13:36:19
OK, cut the loose.
13:36:22
So Sainz has a 21.8.
13:36:55
And George doing 21-0 on that new hard tyre.
13:37:41
I'm currently three seconds unsafe to George. Sine for 21.5.
13:38:49
Have a good one, mate. OK. Just keep it all precious.
13:40:12
OK Lewis, I will box, box, box, box.
13:40:53
Yeah, I'm locking. Oh my god, who's there?
13:41:01
Okay, so Magnussen is behind that 5.5.
13:41:13
Did you take out Wink?
13:41:31
So I just made the standard offset for the tyre.
13:42:00
End of stint pace was really good on that medium. We've got 35 laps remaining.
13:42:16
Gap ahead.
13:42:22
Have we lost position?
13:42:36
Yeah, we've got to stroll ahead easier yet to stop.
13:42:52
Gap ahead of him, seconds. Gap to George, eight seconds.
13:43:37
What time shall I be there? George was 8.21.4. Six lap offset on tyres, so this is good pace.
13:43:56
This is similar time to Verstappen, only three laps offset on time.
13:44:13
I'm happy with this tag level.
13:44:57
So we are racing Stroll. He's on 29 lap medium tyres.
13:46:21
So that is Perez. He is yet to stop. 31 lap hard tyre.
13:46:39
Perez is pace 23.6, George 21.5.
13:47:39
And Lewis, can we have HPP7 position 4, 7 position 4.
13:47:46
George Russell 21.1.
13:48:00
I did ask to take up a wing.
13:48:18
OK, copy.
13:48:46
I don't think I'm losing anywhere.
13:49:03
OK, on loss is Lewis, so nothing to mention. George, same lap time.
13:49:20
Perez ahead 22.2, gap 2.0.
13:53:27
So George is 8.8 ahead.
13:54:31
So George was 20.8 last lap.
13:54:47
Perez in the pitlane now.
13:55:52
George was at 20.7.
13:56:24
Biggest loss is exit turn 13, taking a bit too much kerb.
13:57:11
George was 20.9.
13:57:44
That was better turn 13 and now I only lost exit turn 9.
13:58:30
Go to strat mode 7. George was at 21.2.
13:59:51
George, 21.1.
14:01:14
Georgia 21.1
14:01:31
These are really strong lap times, Lewis.
14:02:33
George is at 20.8.
14:03:40
That's the car I had stopped.
14:03:53
So that's Alonso, 3.6 ahead. He is just traffic. George at 21.1.
14:05:15
George was 20.9.
14:06:35
George has a 21.2. Only loss is that exit turn 9.
14:06:55
Sorry to lose RIS.
14:07:10
OK, copy Lewis. It doesn't look like wear, so that's temperature.
14:09:17
Bit of a bad material on the right rear.
14:09:37
George has similar comments on the tyres.
14:10:22
Steering is still quite light for some reason.
14:10:37
OK, we'll have a look. George at 21.2.
14:11:14
We're happy with the data.
14:11:59
So we've got Alonso and Sargeant ahead as traffic. They are racing. George was 21.5.
14:13:19
Closer to target, mate. Copy. 2.3 ahead.
14:13:39
George was 21.1, last lap.
14:13:56
Yeah, the tyres are definitely dropping.
14:14:16
I've got a bad understeer.
14:14:40
Copy. So, George in the pitlane. He was struggling with the rears. Got to be 11 laps to go.
14:15:20
B-Bal offset.
14:15:34
Ten laps when you cross the line.
14:15:46
And gap of 22.5 seconds.
14:16:01
Yeah, copy. It's about a 14 lap offset to Alonso on a medium tyre.
14:16:22
We need to get within 1.2 for the blue flags to kick in.
14:17:28
20.8, same age tyre.
14:19:19
Coming up to the line. Coming up to the line.
14:19:47
Pretty fast.
14:20:02
Yeah, copy Lewis, so they should have blue flags now, so Alonso has flags.
14:20:23
Just be careful with this lot, they are racing.
14:20:39
Gasly has blue flags.
14:21:12
And Joe now has blue flags.
14:22:01
So Ocon now has blue flags and just Valtteri.
14:22:20
And Valtteri has blue flags.
14:22:48
OK, so five laps remaining. Gap to George behind 13 seconds. He's in mid-19s.
14:24:27
Gap to George at 12 seconds.
14:24:43
And we have 13 ahead to Sainz. He's doing 20.8.
14:25:48
Georgia is 20.1. Last lap.
14:26:50
Two laps remaining, Lewis, so we go strat mode 5.
14:28:10
Pace OK? Pace is good. So one more lap. Sainz is a 21-0 for info.
14:29:33
Well done, Lewis. That's P6, mate.
14:29:39
So have a go. Strat mode 14. Strat mode 14. That was really strong pace, especially on that hard tyre. Matching Verstappen, even with just a three-lap offset. So that was really good.
14:29:52
Thanks, Bono. Car was coming good. Still some work to do though. Let's keep pushing, guys. Thanks for the upgrades this weekend. Good points for the team.
14:30:07
Yeah, copy Lewis, thanks for that mate. So if we can get HVP1, position 12.
14:31:09
So, yeah, Verstappen managed to win, but Norris gave him a good run for his money. He's just 0.7 behind on the line. Then Leclerc P3, Piastri, Sainz, then yourself, George behind, and Perez P8.
14:31:27
Yeah, sorry for that lock-up. Lost a lot of time for that. Yeah, copy. Yeah, that would have been five seconds up the road, but, yeah, otherwise pace was really strong. Really, really happy with that.
