13:05:17
DRS enabled.
13:11:00
They're taking everyone pretty bad. Yeah, they started to come to us.
13:11:34
Yeah, Alex confirmed that the soft runners are struggling with drag. We're now on the quicker tyre.
13:14:52
Update on the tyre switch when you can.
13:15:14
It's not like it's easy, but it looks easier for me than others. Yeah, copy that, Alex.
13:15:29
We're about two turns to the top lap as well.
13:15:45
Copy that on the flap, Alex.
13:16:12
Zhou and Tsunoda ahead, just pitted.
13:17:02
You might enter the circuit without feeling really down on power.
13:17:08
Okay, we're checking.
13:17:38
OK, all OK on our side of PU. We suggest mode 7 and then use overtake.
13:18:31
Guys, there's definitely something wrong. I'm clipping like halfway down every straight.
13:18:57
Select mode 7. So it's currently mode 8. Mode 7 will help.
13:19:04
Yep, you've got it.
13:19:52
So currently P15. Bottas is picking behind us on softs.
13:20:20
So, Alex Whitnick, it's plan A plus 5. A plus 5. So, you're doing a good job. Just move to Lyco level 2, please.
13:20:31
What does that mean? Where am I now?
13:20:43
Okay, currently level one, so increase to level two.
13:23:09
Okay, Logan behind you has pitted. So now car behind is Ocon, just completing his outlap on new medium. Three seconds.
13:24:28
Alex, you're doing a good job. Just don't lose too much time with these Alpines. I think they're going to pass us relatively easily.
13:25:23
Car behind now, Perez on soft. We're still targeting plan A plus 5.
13:26:47
Car behind Hulkenberg on 4-lap used medium.
13:27:15
Alex, if you've got anything left, you can start to push now. Maximum weight. No, I don't. I don't. Understood.
13:28:09
OK, let's check rotary three.
13:28:31
Box, Alex, box.
13:29:00
Okay, track clear. Pit exit. Remember white line.
13:30:23
Car ahead is Logan, six seconds, but we've now got a good tyre advantage over people ahead.
13:34:22
So, ahead of Logan is Tsunoda. We've got nine laps pressure tyres on him. Reset tyre switch when you can.
13:35:45
Now targeting plan A plus three.
13:37:04
Thank you. OK, copy that. And HPP on.
13:37:57
Here's the car ahead, Tsunoda, his last lap, 21.6.
13:38:30
So, when you get to Tsunoda, overtake is available.
13:41:12
Okay, so Tsunoda's pitting, so we see the Deg and Ricciardo ahead now, six seconds.
13:43:23
Try exit 3 to help exit at turn 12.
13:45:14
So, Magnussen has pitted and pitted hard. He's going to go to the end. We'll be fighting him at the end of the race.
13:46:35
Okay, so we're starting lap 32. We're still on plan A plus three.
13:47:33
I don't know if the wind has died but the tyres are coming back to me.
13:47:56
Copy that on the wind, Alex. So, car ahead, Ricciardo. His last lap, 21.6. You're doing a good job.
13:49:16
Alex, how is the flap for this tyre? Ah, good. OK, copy that. It was OK.
13:49:26
Understood. Park the, er, park the tank.
13:51:04
I think the wind picked up again because it feels stress again.
13:51:31
Yeah, Alex, it looks like just gusts. The intensity is still fairly low.
13:52:00
And we're happy with the tyre management and we're now thinking plan A plus seven.
13:54:42
So, track temp has been stable all race. If you wait on this tyre again, plus one turn. Yes. Okay, copy that.
13:56:05
Racing. Hulkenberg protects it.
13:57:28
Okay, that's starting lap 40. Still on plan A plus six.
14:00:09
Okay, car behind is Verstappen. He's the leader. He'll probably be blue at this lap. So it makes sense to take this blue and then we'll avoid any others.
14:01:08
Blue flag Verstappen.
14:01:34
Okay, good job, Alex. So, are you happy to fit soft at the next stop? Yes, yes. I don't want to get the forks. Okay, copy. I don't want to get the forks.
14:01:57
We're just building a tyre delta. It will help us at the end. Yeah, that's fine. For God's sake, we lost like three seconds there for no reason.
14:02:29
Okay, a blue flag. I don't get it. What the hell?
14:02:37
That's all for now, thanks for watching.
14:03:04
Stop at the box, hold brake, push out, reset, next switch.
14:03:20
Close to Piastri pit exit. He'll be a blue flag.
14:03:30
Blue flag Piastri and he's got Russell one second behind him. Will it be quicker than that or not?
14:03:40
Quick, tell me. Yes, we should be. We push and pull away.
14:04:57
I have no grip.
14:05:01
21. Car behind now, Russell.
14:05:09
It will be a blue for Russell this lap.
14:05:56
OK, that's 20 laps remaining.
14:06:17
Blue flag Russell.
14:06:41
Getting our car behind Hamilton. He moves blue soon.
14:06:51
That's blue flag Hamilton.
14:07:21
OK, car behind now, Sainz. I don't think he'll be the last one. This is the right thing, yeah.
14:08:20
Blue flag Sainz.
14:08:41
1-0.
14:08:49
Okay, now there's a seven second gap behind.
14:09:34
So, Ricciardo, three ahead on hard, he's now taking those blues.
14:10:04
17 laps to go.
14:11:21
Okay, so now Cara heads it. Ricciardo wants a second lap. Old, hard.
14:12:15
OK, car behind Leclerc. He'll be a blue. He will be the final blue.
14:12:41
That's blue flag Leclerc.
14:14:04
Reset tyre switch when you can. 14 laps remaining.
14:14:27
I have understeer without brake.
14:15:21
So ahead of Ricciardo is Magnussen. He's on 23 lap old hard. He's just taken those blues. He'll be four seconds ahead once he's served them.
14:18:06
Magnussen's doing 20.9s. He's three ahead. Ricciardo's just passing him now.
14:18:56
The car behind is now Piastri. Three back. He will be a blue before the end.
14:19:22
Is there a traffic threat or is that the same gap as before?
14:20:11
He's pulling for like Piastri. Did he try to ask me a question? Yes, he has pitted.
14:22:45
Tsunoda three behind. What the hell was that?
14:22:53
I don't know if it's all OK from our side. No, it's not OK. Don't just say that within five seconds.
14:23:08
It's like Hogwarts.
14:23:14
So, tyre pressures are okay.
14:24:56
That's six laps remaining. So we see some front wing damage, but we're just having a look to get a number. Yeah, but what was the problem with the car?
14:25:14
I don't care about public damage. So, at the moment we just think it was locking, but we're checking.
14:27:07
Alex, we are still looking at it.
14:27:35
That's four laps remaining.
14:29:48
Far behind is Gasly, three seconds. He would be a blue, but you're matching his pace.
14:30:17
That's two laps remaining. Gasly's last lap was 20.0.
14:31:37
Starting final lap. Gap to Gasly is 2.1.
14:31:57
Car behind now, Perez 1.8.
14:32:56
Over the line. Checkered flag. Checkered flag.
14:33:19
OK, so just HPP off.
14:33:29
Okay, switches are good. So yeah, that's P18 and it's Tsunoda behind us, P19, and then Logan.
14:33:39
Yep.
14:33:44
We're sure it's not wind or nothing in central. I don't really understand when the car does that kind of stuff.
14:34:02
Yeah, it just looked like it was probably wind, so there was a gust of 17 kph at that point.
14:34:12
I just, yeah, okay, I don't know why we decided to do it, but okay. I think we did the right tyre strategy. We just, yeah, I guess it was the same for everyone in our, in the group we were racing. Just reflect on it, right.
14:34:32
Yeah, thanks for persisting with it. Well, we are off the pace here. That's the bit that's important to me. Make sure we come back here next year stronger, that we have a better car, much better car than the next two. For persisting through that. Yep. Yep.
14:35:01
We'll be OK with the blues. With Lando.
14:35:15
Yeah, I think we're all OK.
