OK, Nico, six minutes till we go. You can set your brake balance EB. You've already done it, I think. Track temp is 42 and FP2 is 44. Right now our car balance is 0.2 less than FP2 for reference.

Should we not match at least what we had then there? Is it similar conditions?

That's included the set-up changes yesterday, yeah? Sorry, say again? That's Carbel, so that's included the set-up change from yesterday? That's right, yeah, that's the final number.

I think we're okay here. It's very similar to the other car. We're on the soft now, so we'll be okay.

Five minutes till we go.

Those clutch drops were too quick.

Okay, Nico. Everyone is on soft except for Hamilton on medium and Albon starting from pitlane on medium.

Two minutes till we go. Two minutes.

Actually, Hamilton is on soft, so only Albon on medium.

Clutch drop was good.

Good job, Nico.

DRS enabled.

Good job, Nico. Just reduce a bit.

Good job, Nico. Good job.

Right toggle turn 10 would help the snap if that's a problem.

Good job, Nico. You're doing same lap time and same saving as Perez. Good job.

This is good. This will let us go a little longer.

You're opening a big gap to Stroll. Go ahead. Yeah, front left is taking a beating.

Copy that. Should we add some to the next tyre?

Not sure, but I have front left, like turn 4, quite a lot of understeer built up now.

It's going very well though, Nico. You're opening a big gap to Stroll behind Perez and you're keeping Perez just outside. Copy.

Turn 3 is actually quite neutral.

So I think balance all in all around the lap, not too bad. Copy that.

Cars further back have started to box. We're okay for now. It's all going well.

It's probably not worth defending to Perez. He's not our ACC. Later on.

Okay, yeah, I don't.

Yeah, copy that. Don't lose time.

Okay, we need to give out the place to Perez, Nico. Give up the position.

It was her turn 5 track limits last lap.

Let's keep the tyre, Nico. Yeah, this tyre is going. There's not much left here. Let's not lose too much time on this.

Yeah, copy that. I'll add a little bit to the next tyre.

Fox now, Nico. Fox now.

Zhou will be 1.5 seconds behind.

Okay, Zhou, close on the exit. He's on the two-lap medium.

Zhou, 2.5 behind you.

Reset FONCOM. Joe 1.7.

Zhou was a lot slower on the first stint, so the gap should open up.

Ok, Ocon and Perez pitted, so they're close at the exit, Ocon and Perez.

A bit of pace guidance. I'm missing down the outlap. I was saving quite a bit. Copy that.

Seems quite a bit more understeer. Copy that. Gasly has come out behind Ocon.

I feel like I've lost the power sometimes.

Nico, we're checking on the power. Increase lifting coast, please.

I don't like this tyre. The car is much more inconsistent.

Copy that, Nico.

Albon still on race start, medium 17 laps old.

I'm doing similar lap time to Ocon in P10. He's 5.7 ahead.

Stay left, turn 1, possible debris.

Mike suggests P2 for turn 1.

Management is good, Nico.

Piastri will come out one second behind. We don't want to lose any time with him. He's not our race.

Looks like I had a good amount of front graining or abrasion front left.

Copy that, Nico.

Still doing good. You're quicker than Bottas behind. The Aston Martins went longer, trying to offset, but we're still looking OK against them.

Others are struggling on the medium too.

We suggest EB10.

Good lap, Nico. 0.7 quicker than Stroll.

Very good laps. The Aston Martins are stuck behind Sauber.

What do you think, Herman? It's for the next lap.

We think it should have a better front, but we'd still like to add a small amount. 2.3.

OK. Copy.

We'll still need some help ahead, Nico, but there are cars racing and you're doing a good job against Stroll. Same or quicker.

Is the safety window open?

Yes, open, Nico.

We suggest to try left toggle turn 4.

I'm leaving him behind. Are we still building the gap or what?

Yes, gap is stable to Zhou and Stroll. You're pulling out a little bit. Little bit of gain each lap.

So Zhou's doing 21.3, Stroll doing 21.4, they're six and eight seconds behind.

How many laps have I done on this set now? This is the 19th lap. 19 total laps.

The pace is good, so we are going to be able to extend Perez just pit for info.

Is that LP dropping off in front or what? Man, Zhou's tyres are older than mine, right?

Yes, Alpine dropping off and yes, Zhou's two laps older.

Last lap, Ocon, 21.8.

Ocon, 21.2.

Do you see the balance becoming more neutral?

Yeah, copy that.

We suggest left toggle turn 12. Ocon's doing 21.4.

Safety car and VSC window open. Plenty of racing ahead.

I'll be careful a bit. Adding aero balance. Coming, I've got understeer but the rear is also very sketchy.

Copy that. We'll put it to zero for now. Zero.

Gap behind. Gap behind still 6, Zhou doing similar lap time.

So Perez, who stopped four laps ago, he's now five seconds behind new medium doing 19.3.

So you're still quicker than Ocon, a little bit quicker than Zhou. Perez will be much quicker than us, four behind.

Let's not lose time with him.

I think we're coming close. How many laps this set? 25 laps on this set. All understood.

Good job, Nico. Let's get the best lap out of this weekend.

Maybe it's worth extending a bit, trying to create a higher delta behind. It's kind of safe behind at the moment.

How much more pace do you think you have? Anything? No, this is it. This is the pace.

Just try to keep this.

We're still going to go for it, Nico. Use up all the tyre.

OK, box now, Nico, box now.

We'll be close to Albon at exit, but he's on old tyres.

OK, that's Albon, Gold, Sox.

Okay, you're pulling away from Albon, so we're good to manage. So let's manage from the start with this tyre. Good job.

So, 27 laps to go, Nico.

What did you do on the flap? We did zero.

So, Ricciardo ahead hasn't stopped. He's doing 22.4. Zhou and Alonso haven't stopped yet. They're both doing 21.8.

Ricciardo ahead on 25 lap old medium.

Okay, Nico, so Ocon is six ahead. He's P11. He's doing 19.9 for info.

Good job, Nico.

Give me the run down. What position are we racing for?

Ocon 5 ahead will be P10, so right now we're sitting at P11. We still need a car to go out.

Yeah, but Alonso is there. He hasn't stopped yet, no?

That's correct, so Alonso hasn't stopped yet, and then Zhou and Stroll behind you are like 15. So, am I 10th actual fact, or? 11th. No, you'll be 11th.

Once Alonso boxes, you'll be 11 and we still need a car to go out to get him to the points.

Ocon ahead is sitting in the last points position once Alonso boxes.

You can push more 3M13. Alonso is starting to hold up Ocon now.

Press oil pump button. Pump button.

OK, 20 laps to go, P11, Ocon doing 19.6.

Very good pace. Ocon 19.4.

Okay, Nico, we have a penalty for pitlane speed limit violation, five-second penalty, so we'll have to deal with that, but your pace is very good.

Perez boxed close on pit exit.

16 laps to go. Perez is B10 for now. Ocon is B10.

For fuck's sake, there's a truck in the straight.

Yeah, copy that. You're doing good, man.

Gap behind. 16 seconds to Alonso. Huge gap behind.

12 to go at the line. Verstappen is lapping Alonso in a couple of laps. We will not get lapped.

10 laps to go. Alonso is still 15 behind and he's about to be left.

Eight laps to go. Verstappen 14 behind. He won't catch you. Alonso 17 behind.

Good lap, Nico. Six to go.

Sergeant ahead of Ocon. He'll be a blue. He'll have a blue.

Four laps to go.

You can try K1 hold out of 12 if you're close, Heather.

Two to go, Nico.

Starting last lap.

Checkered flag, Nico. Press in button.

You had really good pace again, Nico, even on the medium and also on the hard, really good. Another P11, so that's frustrating, but really good drive.

Yeah, just not enough.

Well, obviously, yesterday, if we had a better quali, I think we can get there. But yeah, more positive than anything else. With the Silverstone stuff coming, we should be okay. Thank you, guys. Good job. Yeah, good job, Nico. So P1 Verstappen, 2 Norris, 3 Hamilton, 4 Russell, 5 Leclerc, 6 Sainz, 7 Piastri, 8 Perez, 9 Gasly, 10 Ocon.
