12:55:28
Radio check, Fernando. Radio check. OK, Dex, you can go ahead as well. Radio check, Fernando. Yep, both OK.
12:57:48
OK, Fernando, so everyone's on mediums apart from Joe. Front of the pitlane is on hard. Everyone medium.
12:59:35
Kevin, let's see if you can do the bike profile once Mikey gives you the signal.

That was exactly on target, on target. Make a little gap now and then a bit of high-speed weaving towards turn 1.
13:00:54
B-Bal offset plus one.
13:01:02

13:01:09
Some good high speed weaving up here. A small 50 metre lift and then a good brake. We can stop the tyres in the slow speed.
13:01:30
Good high-speed weaving here and a 70-metre lift and a good brake interval.
13:01:39

13:01:43
A little bit of a gap here if you need to and then you can push through 5 with a bit more leaning and tyres through 6 and 7.
13:02:04
A bit more weaving here and then a good 50-metre lift and then a good brake.
13:02:15
You can do a bit of scrubbing of the tyres but staying on the racing line through here.
13:02:21
And we are good for three burnouts. We're good for three burnouts. Short and crisp with the K0 button first.
13:02:45
Three burnouts using the K0 button. Careful with your grid box position.
13:03:00
Okay, that's good. There's no bike point find, so it's just straight to race on a run switch.
13:03:07
We're watching. Last cars on the grid. Minus 19.
13:04:38
You will get the RS out of turn 1. You will get the RS out of turn 1. You will get the RS out of turn 1.
13:07:03
OK, Fernando, if you can, third gear in turn 3, please. Third gear, turn 3.
13:09:28
So we are still on plan A for now. Plan A.
13:11:50
So we're still okay with plan A. What do you think?
13:12:01
Yes, yes.
13:12:09
I mean, I'm happy here, but I will not overtake, I think. Copy that, copy that.
13:13:01
So you can use second gear now in turn 3 if you want. Second gear is available turn 3.
13:15:51
I just check aerobance for now, just check aerobance.
13:15:56
It feels OK.
13:16:06
So we're going to box this lap, Fernando. Opposite Tsunoda. Do opposite Tsunoda.
13:16:12
OK. Very early.
13:16:26
Box! Box! Box! Box! Box!
13:16:52
So you can go back with a click or two on brake lines. You're currently plus three. We've very seen Leclerc at pit exit. He had to stop in the first lap.
13:17:53
Albon has just picked it behind us.
13:18:10
I'm a bit close to the ground. I think it's a bit of a head.
13:18:19
HPP on.
13:18:35
If you can start doing a bit of lift and coast in this phase, that would be good. Maybe click forward and brake balance when you can.
13:20:15
So Albon is the car behind, now he's two seconds back. Ricciardo 2.6 ahead.
13:25:14
OK, this is just Strat 7. Strat 7, this is while we're in his management phase. Zhou ahead, he's dropping back.
13:25:25
So Zhou has stayed out so far and he's just dropping back. These guys who pitted like us are just going through him pretty easily.
13:26:55
I had a contact with Zhou.
13:27:15
Tyre pressure's all looking OK at the moment. Tyre pressure's OK.
13:28:53
A little bit closer to Perez on the exit.
13:32:24
Ok, Fernando, I'm afraid we have got a 10 second penalty at the next stop. Copy. 10. Wow. Thank you.
13:32:54
B-Bal offset plus one.
13:35:59
Both safety cars are open but there's nothing on track. The two Alpines behind are on the two-stop and we want to keep them behind.
13:37:12
Can I just check aerobatics? Check aerobatics. It's OK.
13:37:21
No transcript available
13:44:06
Yeah, struggling with the tyres, man. Copy that, I copy.
13:44:43
Wow. Wow.
13:45:04
Fernando, we will box this lap. We will box this lap.
13:45:17
Here nearly a big, big crash. I lift off, luckily. Yeah, I feel, yeah. Contrast, contrast.
13:45:27
Box, box. Imagine I do that, eh? How many seconds?
13:45:41
It'll be the ten second penalty, so don't build the whole grid up until they start working.
13:46:09
So you're back to 3% of the brake balance.
13:46:16
I'm going to be racing Russell and Zhou. What a load of energy.
13:46:35
So Zhou's on 7 lap old medium. 7 lap old medium.
13:49:23
The fast cars are coming fast or it's better if I go for Russell and don't lose time?
13:49:41
Do you know what I mean? How much I push to not get up? Yeah, so Sainz is the car behind you, two seconds back. He's just past you.
13:49:53
I'm just checking Sainz's pace. Stand by. 10.3s. He was doing 10.3s.
13:50:10
So their tyres are 17 and up old. They're doing 10.5s.
13:51:22
So you've definitely got the pace to keep Sainz out of the blue flag window and you've got a reasonable gap to Russell for now.
13:55:37
Fernando Alonso has just stopped. He's just coming out. We'll be pretty close with him.
13:55:43
We'll just let him go, hopefully. Yeah, it's OK.
14:02:09
We are last, probably. Do we keep on going until last lap or something?
14:02:42
Yep, copy Fernando, copy. We'll get some leaders coming through in about 10 laps time.
14:02:54
Which position are we?
14:03:11
We're P17.
14:03:18
And Lance, these people have to stop.
14:03:54
Alonso P15 ahead, P15. He stopped a little later than some of the others.
14:04:02
Yeah, but I mean, when people stop, it will be P11 or P12 or not?
14:04:19
So we've got blues for Verstappen. No, Fernando, not really. That's Lance's position. Verstappen is 1.1 behind.
14:04:39
He's further away, so what do I do?
14:04:56
Just watch Bottas. Bottas behind you is on the same strategy.
14:05:07
Bottas behind you is racing us. Norris behind him is going to come past.
14:05:17
OK, so we've got blues for Norris now.
14:06:47
The two cars behind are on the same lap as us. It's Bottas, then Leclerc.
14:11:05
So we've got 14 laps to go. 14. Russell is blue flags for us.
14:11:37
That's the rush of 0.6 gallons.
14:12:17
So we've got now Sainz 1.2 behind.
14:12:29
And the blue flag sucks.
14:13:15
OK, this is the last one, Piastri. Blue flag, Piastri.
14:13:30
Piastri coming through. Can you do multifunction B, orange. Multifunction B, orange. Ignition.
14:13:41
Ignition P12. Multifunction B, orange, ignition, P12.
14:15:35
Check turn 6 now. Yeah, I just do.
14:17:19
So, Fernando, the car's looking like it's working as it should be. There was just a big gust of wind there and that happened.
14:17:28
Yep, copy. Nine laps. Only nine laps. Yep, confirmed.
14:18:20
So there's yellow... My car is clear.
14:18:30
So all the safety car windows are open. All the safety car windows are open.
14:18:44
So Verstappen ahead, he's got a puncture. He's had contact with somebody. Also Norris is slow, so two cars have got a puncture ahead. They're currently turn 6 and 7. Keep an eye out for debris.
14:19:14
Nice and slow on the exit of 8.
14:19:26
Yeah, full of debris. Maybe safety car. Copy. A lot of debris on the track.
14:20:43
Virtual safety car and a virtual safety car. The pitlane entry is closed, so no-one can pit. Fear the safety car on run, so just keep the delta positive.
14:21:01
If the pitlane opens, we will box. Just have a think. I know it's been horrendous on this set. Would you take a bit more air, Lance, go for a quick lap?
14:21:16
Okay, good flap. Okay, good flap. Copy that.
14:21:29
Okay, so the pitlane is ending. Virtual safety car is ending. Go back to go 1. Race, sorry. We're going to stay out, but I know we'll do it a bit later.
14:22:15
Lewis Hamilton 2.2 behind.
14:23:01
A nice blue flag. Hamilton, please back out.
14:24:38
So we will box at the end of this lap. We will box at the end of this one.
14:25:32
Box and box.
14:25:40
Box.
14:26:21
So we got Hulkenberg and Perez four behind. You can go slow on this outlap. We'll go for the faster lap next lap. You can pay zero.
14:26:40
So, basically, behind Perez is a six-second gap, and that'll be the one, I think. So Perez is 3.5 behind you, then there's a six-and-a-half-second gap behind them.
14:26:55
So just shape 3 and one clear. Do you want strat 2? Strat 5. We'll do strat 5 and then you'll use energy button on all the straights. Energy button out of 1, out of 3 and out of 7.
14:27:12
Consider shape 3 and B-Bal one clip route.
14:27:48
Use energy. Push and hold. Use energy.
14:28:17
Push and hold again. Push and hold again.
14:28:33
That's the flag. You got it, mate. Good job. One little silver lining in the cloud.
14:28:44
Run switch to warm up, please. Run switch to warm up. HPP button off. HPP button off.
14:28:55
And then MFB, blue, override, MFB, blue, override, position 12.
