And you were plus four on that drop. Plus four.
13:02:49
And three burnouts. Three burnouts.
13:04:29
And that's red flag, Valtteri, red flag.
13:04:39
And cool the car if you can. Cool the car.
13:04:52
And try to cool the car more. Cool the car more. Yeah, I can't do anything here. I'm stuck behind the other cars. Understood.
13:05:41
And try to keep a distance of 5 metres to the cars in front.
13:06:15
So, bail to all. Calm down. We have at least 10 minutes, at least 10 minutes till race. Full switch so far.
13:06:30
Yes, full switch off.
13:16:25
So, information from race control. It will take at least 20 minutes to repair the guardrails, probably longer. So, stay patient and take it easy.
13:31:23
The race will be resumed 15.44. 15.44. In 13 minutes. It will be a standing start.
13:34:19
Ten minutes to go. Ten minutes.
13:36:21
Eight minutes to go. Eight minutes to go.
13:36:34
So drivers, there will be a standing start, so you leave the pitlane just like a normal formation lap. There will be a standing start. Ocon will have to come back to the grid and his position will be cap free, but this is far ahead of you. So for you, you just do the normal thing.
13:38:19
Six minutes to go. Six minutes.
13:39:35
Less than five minutes to go. So, Valtteri starting P16, which is on the left-hand side, and Zhou P17 on the right-hand side.
13:40:25
Four minutes. Four.
13:41:20
Three minutes to go. Three minutes.
13:42:17
Two minutes to go. Two minutes.
13:42:35
One minute and 40 seconds. One minute to go, one minute. 30 seconds to go, 30 seconds. 15 seconds till green light. 5 seconds. Green light, pitlane open.
13:45:40
OK, Valtteri, it looks like Sargeant in front of us is on the hard. He started on hard. Alonso is on the medium. He also started on hard.
13:45:59
Ricciardo in front of Alonso. Works well for medium to hard.
13:46:08
Lance Stroll in front of him. Switch from hard to medium.
13:46:35
Your previous drop was very good. Let's repeat that. And we can go for three burnouts.
13:46:44
And you can start in P16. P16 on the grid.
13:48:52
Great job, Valtteri. That's Ricciardo in front on a hard.
13:49:37
In front of Ricardo is Alonso on medium. We expect him to start managing soon.
13:53:37
This pace is like ridiculous this long.
13:54:26
So we think Alonso might be opening up a gap for Stroll. He is leading this train now.
13:56:31
So, race information. Everybody has completed their stop except for Sargeant behind.
13:57:11
And there are six cars in front on medium. Six cars on medium.
13:57:39
I think there's at least two seconds more pace, just for your info. So we'll have a think what to do here.
14:00:13
Got some grating on the rear tyres.
14:01:15
And diff entry plus one and brake balance plus one.
14:03:20
And use special 2 for the last two corners. Special 2.
14:05:05
And box Valtteri, box. Box for hard. Copy.
14:05:36
And you can go SOC 3 for one lap.
14:06:56
And back to sock 6.
14:07:37
And for reference, Leclerc in P1 on hard is lapping 20.2.
14:08:12
And you've already covered the pit window up to P8. Good job.
14:09:30
And now in front of Hamilton's pit window from P7.
14:10:10
That's Zhou 3.5 in front.
14:13:20
This straight is incredible, man. Look, it's so slow.
14:13:27
Yeah, being able to talk to me through those corners, I imagine you're not pushing too hard right now. I'm like 20%, you know, it's... don't know.
14:17:15
So I guess the best is for me just to keep the tyres in a good condition and see what happens? At the moment, yes. At the moment, yes.
14:17:27
That's Alonso in P12 in front of this minitrain and then he's got a four second gap to stroll.
14:17:39
Both Alonso and Stroll on the mediums.
14:18:12
And about 6 seconds in front of Stroll, 12 seconds in front of you is Tsunoda in P8.
14:18:50
And you currently have Tsunoda's pit window covered by around 9 seconds.
14:19:33
And still six cars in front on medium. Three of them could cover us on a stop. Three of them could not.
14:20:53
And Alonso is leading this minitrain. Could potentially open up a gap for Stroll in front of him to box into.
14:21:02
Yeah, that's how it feels like.
14:22:14
And you can go exit 11. Exit 11. Exit 11. Exit 11.
14:24:12
And that's now a 9 second gap ahead of Alonso to Stroll.
14:25:34
And Leclerc is leading the race 21 seconds behind on the hard lapping 19.0.
14:27:05
And let's go back to exit 9. Exit 9.
14:36:36
So four seconds behind you is Leclerc, the leader.
14:37:04
That's Leclerc two and a half behind. And P4 is Norris six seconds behind.
14:37:12
There should be a big gap behind Norris.
14:37:20
So soon we will have to let four blue flagged cars poop through.
14:37:41
That's flashing blue to Leclerc.
14:37:57
Next is Piastri.
14:38:01
Now one second to signs.
14:38:05
Try to stay in Norris' gearbox.
14:38:20
Currently unsafe on Stroll's pit window.
14:39:08
And Stroll stayed out, still unsafe to his pit window. Try to keep as close to Norris as possible.
14:41:12
So now we're settled back in this mini-train with Alonso leading.
14:41:51
And pedal 11. Pedal 11.
14:42:01
And that's Stroll that just came out in front of Alonso.
14:43:22
And now that Stroll is pit, we expect Alonso to pick up the pace.
14:46:03
And Russell four seconds behind.
14:47:13
And Russell, two seconds behind. Behind him is Verstappen, two seconds.
14:47:31
Did you say two seconds between Ewan? Yep, so two seconds behind you is Russell, four seconds behind you is Verstappen.
14:47:45
Now you can keep this gap. Hamilton is three seconds behind.
14:47:50
What is the pace of these guys?
14:47:54
Russell is lapping 18.3, 18.4.
14:48:37
Two seconds to Hamilton and nobody behind him.
14:49:52
Lance Stroll had a puncture. He just went into the pitlane.
14:50:08
Now a 40 second gap to Tsunoda.
14:51:58
So at the end of this lap, Zhou will let you by and we will see if we can get Sargeant. Okay. If I can, then obviously I can keep track. Yep, that's correct.
14:52:35
And you can take the inside of turn 1. Zhou will go to the outside.
14:53:18
Great job, Valtteri.
14:53:21
It's now seven seconds in front to Verstappen.
14:54:03
And that's Ricciardo in front now. Five seconds on our lap.
14:55:52
So Verstappen and Hamilton boxed. They are currently behind Zhou and Sargeant.
14:56:29
I'm currently P13. That's Alonso in front, P11.
14:57:48
And back to exit 11. Back to exit 11.
14:58:31
And tyres are okay. Two guys in front have 14-lap older tyres. Alonso is on medium.
14:59:00
Lost the gap behind Max.
14:59:07
Behind max is three seconds to Hamilton.
14:59:22
And nobody behind Hamilton.
15:00:30
Car behind now is Stroll. We are racing Stroll. He is on 7-lap hold softs.
15:02:34
And Ricciardo was told to manage rears in exit 18 and 19.
15:03:40
This Alonso train is not funny anymore.
15:03:51
Yeah, it was nice to be out of it for a while.
15:05:47
And we can go back to exit 9.
15:05:59
Car behind is Stroll on soft.
15:12:22
Brake balance minus one.
15:13:04
And we can do another step rearwards brake balance.
15:16:16
So that's eight laps remaining. Eight more laps and we can go pedal position 12.
15:18:17
We suggest B-Meg 4, B-Meg 4 and press the oil button.
15:21:31
And Stroll behind is getting blue flags for Leclerc, the race leader.
15:22:12
And Leclerc now the car behind. Behind him is nine seconds to Piastri.
15:24:09
And two more laps, two more laps, you can go sock free.
15:26:57
And that's chequered flag, Valtteri.
15:27:13
It's a shame we couldn't race more, but we showed good pace whenever we had the opportunity.
15:27:20
Yeah, that was a tough one. Just impossible to get by some of the cars. But, yeah, tried. Tried the best I could. We got one nice little Monaco overtake. Yep.
15:27:45
So we finish P13.
15:27:49
Leclerc won the race in front of Piastri and Sainz.
15:27:56
Norris, P4, then Russell and Max.
15:28:02
Hamilton, P7.
15:28:06
Tsunoda finished P8, Albon P9 and Gasly P10.
15:29:04
And under... Full switch off.
