12:54:59
Radio check. Radio check loud and clear.
12:55:50
And as a reminder, on the formation lap, a good cool down at the end of each straight for temperature checks.
12:57:23
Three minutes.
12:57:52
Everybody on new medium except Zhou on hard, starting from the pitlane.
12:58:04
And reminder will be pit limiter on, mode formation bike point, crotch test to red and K2 on.
12:58:20
Two minutes.
12:58:56
You can fire up. Reminder, pit limiter on, mode formation, 5 points, clutch test, 2 red and A2 on.
12:59:20
One minute.
12:59:50
30 seconds.
13:00:05
Fifteen seconds.
13:00:10
10 seconds.
13:00:15
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
13:01:40
One short burnout. One short burnout.
13:03:07
Last car on the grid.
13:03:54
We see some damage on the front wing.
13:04:06
Give me feedback on the wing. Yeah, it doesn't sound nice. We see quite a big loss. Yeah, it's huge. Let's box. So we box. Charles, we box.
13:04:25
And box, Charles, box. Pit confirm.
13:04:40
And do not stay on the weight phase during the front wing change.
13:05:06
Did you see any other damage? I'll feed back to you. Now we need to focus on doing a good race with this tyre and we'll see what happens.
13:05:19
It will be K2 off and status 3.
13:05:40
And car looks fine on loads. Let's do our race stint now.
13:06:47
And easy on exits and traction. Yes, as soon as they finish the lap now, I'll tell you.
13:07:29
Lap times max 9.9, Norris 10.5.
13:08:42
Norris 10.4.
13:09:50
So, you're faster than the pack led by Sainz. This is good. Just take care of rears on traction.
13:10:02
Multifunction D.O. position 9.
13:11:02
Norris 10.3, Carlos 10.7.
13:11:14
Brake shape minus one for front micro locks.
13:12:15
Norris, 10.5.
13:12:25
And we need to save a bit more in turn 9, pushing too much.
13:13:24
Norris 10.5, Carlos two laps in a row 11.1.
13:14:35
This is good driving. Carlos now did a 10.7.
13:15:05
Easy with the slips at 100% throttle. Rear slips.
13:15:45
Diff in plus one. You have cars coming out of the pitlane now, going for a three-stop. Ricciardo and Magnussen in front now.
13:16:13
We are thinking more plan C. Give me your feedback. Yes, of course.
13:16:45
These tyres are upgrade anyway.
13:16:57
Copy. Sainz now 10.8.
13:18:08
And switch position grey. Switch position grey.
13:18:26
And we would like to do some Lyco. Albon behind.
13:18:37
Mainly for engine temps in the long run.
13:21:56
Group of Carlos doing 11.5s as a reference.
13:22:34
And box, Charles, box. Er, flap.
13:22:40
Okay.
13:23:01
And focus on the braking.
13:23:17
So, we will come out behind Sargeant and we are racing him and then there's Max behind him.
13:24:39
So we keep doing status to another lap and then status 3.
13:27:01
So, max behind 11.5. Sainz still out 11.8.
13:27:18
So this is plan C reminder, so handle the stint as you think.
13:27:29
Oh, we are so poor under braking. I'm sliding the tyres like crazy under braking.
13:27:47
Keep your head down. It's hard for everyone. It's quite hot.
13:29:13
People behind now, boxing.
13:31:33
Hamilton on hards now. 10.8 first lap.
13:31:45
Correction, 10.8 Perez, 10.1 Hamilton. First lap on hards.
13:32:43
Brake balance plus one. You're doing a good job.
13:35:04
Switch position white and tyre phase update.
13:36:14
And this is good, Charles. We're projected to come to the points, even without a safety car.
13:36:42
And switch position red.
13:38:52
Brake shape minus one for the front micro locks.
13:40:13
So the other car more rearwards on brake bias. Let's try minus two if it helps with the deceleration.
13:40:59
Unlap corrected. This stint is good. Keep it up.
13:41:13
Easy on peak traction, out of one.
13:43:04
And box, Charles, box. Update on flap. Stay on the right of the white line. Box, box, box. Stay on the right of the white line. Update on flap. OK, flap.
13:43:26
Focus on the braking.
13:43:39
You are welcome close to Norris.
13:44:52
Handbrake balance minus one. Important to make this stint good. Come on. Let's go, bud.
13:45:21
Handbrake balance minus one for us.
13:47:30
The position I'm in, I'm a bit in the shit. I don't think I have the pace to cool away, so I think Lando will stay in the DRS and I'll take Blue Flags. I don't know what we expected to do. I'm happy to stay behind.
13:48:23
So we're happy to stay with Norris for now. The plan was to finish ahead, we just didn't.
13:48:34
Secondary FM position 7 when you can. FM position 7.
13:50:44
This is good, Charles. We're happy with this.
13:50:54
And multi-function DO position 8. DO position 8.
13:51:14
You have three ways to finish, which position?
13:51:53
For sure we're losing ground, but we must keep it up. It's harder to finish in the points now, but don't give up.
13:53:04
Can we have the OK to try and pass Norris? If you can.
13:55:25
Brake balance minus one and S1 for turn 4.
13:55:55
Keep me clear, guys. I won't be able to pass. If I pass, you'll stay there.
13:56:10
I believe there is fear. If we are stuck now that we are in this position, let's stay there, but I cannot do much.
13:56:36
Yes, I know, we'll just try and build a tyre delta at the end. I think we need to stay here.
13:59:11
And less short shifts, please, at the low speed.
13:59:25
That S1424 should help.
14:00:35
And we're thinking still another couple of laps. I know it's frustrating.
14:01:18
We got one strike turn 6.
14:01:44
And driver default delta zero on when you can. Delta zero on.
14:02:40
We're just waiting for some of the guys in front to pit, otherwise you'll pit behind others again. At least maybe we can undercut Norris.
14:03:00
Because like this I cannot do any... And box. Charles?
14:03:11
Update on flaps. Flaps revoked.
14:03:21
And we stay out.
14:03:29
Stay out, stay out.
14:03:51
And we need multi-function DO position 6. DO position 6.
14:04:30
And box, Charles, box. Front wing update.
14:04:35
Stay to the right of the white line. Stay to the right. We'll finish close with Hamilton. 30 lap used hard.
14:04:57
Copy, Bobs.
14:05:10
So we should be close with Hamilton. So, K2 and push straight out of the box.
14:05:23
So, Hamilton behind.
14:05:36
So you have a 1.8 second delta to Bottas ahead. We are fighting him for position. Now let's race.
14:06:19
And we can still get into the points. Come on.
14:07:43
Brake balance minus one.
14:08:27
That was nice. Let's go.
14:08:39
And secondary FM position 9 and avoid short shifts, please.
14:09:50
And 14 laps to go. 1-4.
14:09:55
1-0. Same target.
14:10:01
Come back to you.
14:10:17
9.1, 9.2, Carlos doing now 9.3.
14:12:20
And multi-function mix. Position 11. Mix. Position 11.
14:14:41
S1 turn 4 and left toggle 9-10.
14:15:40
And ten laps to go.
14:18:32
Verstappen has a puncture in front of you.
14:19:09
And switch position yellow.
14:20:20
And multi-function DO position 7.
14:20:48
Pitlane is closed. Pitlane is closed. Just follow your delta.
14:20:58
So we need to stay out. Pitlane is closed. And charge on.
14:21:15
So we're currently B13.
14:21:22
So Norris now won't complete, so he'll be P12.
14:21:30
Pitlane open, but we stay out. We stay out.
14:24:08
And four laps to go. Think about using soft if you need to get close.
14:25:17
And you have DRS.
14:27:39
And last lap.
14:28:52
Turn 11. Turn 11. Turn 11. Speedbrakes on. Speedbrakes.
14:29:07
Not much more you could have done. Sorry about that.
14:29:37
And charge off at mode slow.
14:29:41
And take-up, please.
14:30:50
Run go through the pits.
14:31:05
And P0 when you stop.
