12:55:05
Radio check.
12:55:17
Can you just confirm the balance delta versus S sprint race?
12:55:26
Yeah, happy.
12:55:30
We are just under five minutes to formation lap.
12:57:20
Three minutes.
12:57:43
OK, so tyre-wise, everyone is on medium tyres except for Zhou, P20, and the first car on used medium is Alonso, P15. So everyone around you are on new mediums.
12:58:20
Two minutes.
12:58:49
90 seconds. Fire up.
12:59:20
One minute.
12:59:35
Forty-five seconds.
12:59:50
Byte point find. 30 seconds.
13:00:05
Fifteen seconds.
13:00:15
Five.
13:00:35
Clutch on target.
13:01:11
Keep working those tyres. Good job so far.
13:01:33
We'll be coasting from turn 9 entry.
13:01:52
And it will be two burnouts starting P18, Bottas, final one P10, Ocon.
13:02:03
Just repeat the drivers. So, two burnouts starting at Bottas, second one at Ocon.
13:03:05
Last car approaching the back of the grid.
13:04:16
Did the DRS end the Vista? No. OK, cut.
13:04:33
DRS enabled. Gap to Lewis. 0.4.
13:05:24
Strat 12.430.
13:05:56
We'll have DRS.
13:06:42
Yeah, 0.7.
13:06:54
We'll have DRS.
13:07:05
We'll have DRS.
13:07:54
Gap 0.0.
13:08:05
And we'll have DRS.
13:08:16
And we'll have DRS. Sainz last lap was a 10.5. He's getting DRS off of Lewis currently at 0.9.
13:09:03
Gap 0.9.
13:09:16
So it doesn't have DRS.
13:09:26
It doesn't have DRS.
13:09:31
So Lewis is going to let Sainz past at turn 1.
13:09:43
Sainz now a car behind 1.8 seconds.
13:10:14
Gap 1.4.
13:10:28
So, just keep doing what you're doing if you need to get this gap out.
13:11:24
Yep, two seconds.
13:11:38
A very good job on traction management here. Lewis is now hassling Sainz.
13:12:49
And we are currently target minus two.
13:13:58
So this is a really good job for opening up this gap to Sainz. Currently 2.6 seconds.
13:15:09
George Strat 5 available. It will be a tenth of a lap for three laps.
13:15:39
Give me a post at turn 3. There's room for it there.
13:15:52
Yeah, had been looking good. Bigger loss this lap. 1.10 rear under rotation.
13:16:10
Come on, twitch.
13:16:50
Yeah, copy that. Switch update.
13:18:14
So, George, we just think it's temperature, not tyres, not wear.
13:18:30
Yeah, I don't have grip. But I'm checking out the brake bank.
13:18:48
So, Norris is at 11.1.
13:18:55
Close to that loss is braking. Entry turn 3.
13:19:12
Sainz was an 11.3, Lewis 11.4.
13:19:55
George, let me know if you want any advice on tools for turn 3.
13:20:07
Just barely improving the confidence on braking. Front wheel is going to rotate.
13:21:07
George, just update us on pushing level of the switch.
13:22:04
Turn 3 this lap, look better.
13:22:17
I mean, I'm putting a bit of height here understeer, but I'm really deriving heat in the lot.
13:22:30
Yeah, copy that. We're happy using the magic.
13:23:15
We've got Leclerc just pitted.
13:23:41
That was a 11.7, so we're doing a good job here. Still eking out this gap.
13:24:50
So, George, we are target plus two. Target plus two.
13:25:51
So we are target plus two. Okay, pushing level four.
13:26:04
I am already. Hey, fuck, he took the F.
13:27:02
Left point two at Verstappen, please. Affirm. Last two laps, same pace as Verstappen.
13:27:14
Had to do a centre for once. Not easy. Yeah.
13:27:47
Brakes are dropping.
13:28:14
So Lewis is coming into the pitlane. Won't be long now.
13:28:57
I drove to a box. Box.
13:29:15
White line on entry.
13:29:42
And a white line on exit.
13:30:27
So Sainz and Lewis both off the hard tyre.
13:30:43
And Norris and Verstappen box this lap too.
13:30:58
Now you've both got hard tyre.
13:32:07
Okay, so currently still on our baseline planner from this morning.
13:32:34
Just make sure you bring these tyres in gently.
13:33:16
So, we are currently target minus one for this next stop.
13:34:26
George, just keep on top of that traction management. Turn 3 for the Stimper. We're very happy with it.
13:35:47
Sainz, last lap was a 10.2. This is really good. We'll just keep building this gap.
13:36:03
He said Verstappen is using the exit camshaft brake. Interesting. I won't feed back.
13:36:46
Verstappen using all the blue on exit up to the yellow.
13:36:57
And wind strength is picking up.
13:37:15
Sainz was at 10.1.
13:37:27
I don't need to take my place. I agree.
13:39:07
George, we prefer the high-speed magic and you did this lap.
13:39:35
Keep your pressure at 3 performance. Still sucking a bit there.
13:39:48
Yeah, ape up.
13:40:16
And we are still target minus one.
13:40:47
So this lap it was braking and entry turn 3, they lost.
13:42:36
So Joe Carahead is on two lap hold mediums, currently doing 10.7.
13:44:01
I'm out of gas.
13:44:05
Zhou, 2.1 ahead of your blue flag. Can you get there?
13:44:15
Do it. I have understeer. I have understeer.
13:44:58
George, we are now target plus three.
13:45:47
We have a lot so it's exit.
13:46:39
Ram right, looking pretty ugly.
13:46:51
Might just be pick-up.
13:47:05
And wind rotated orbit tailwind entry 4, entry 9.
13:47:47
So, first set, first attempt, 60% remaining all-round. Yes, it's coming.
13:48:30
George's Strat, 7.
13:48:43
And it's still target plus three.
13:49:10
Leclerc, seven seconds ahead, is a backmarker doing 10.0.
13:49:55
I'm on a double-climber.
13:50:08
Yeah, everyone's dropping at the moment. Sainz last lap 10.8. The wind has picked up.
13:50:25
If we're matching Sainz lap times, just think if he's still going to do front three.
13:50:35
Cor, you want to go further? Yeah, yeah, we'll just keep going. Track temp's currently 48. Watch for Albon pit exit.
13:50:54
It's like target plus five.
13:51:33
So both Norris and Verstappen are struggling with the rear currently.
13:52:02
Wind direction 8.
13:52:13
So tailwind entry turn 9. Sainz last two laps 10.7.
13:53:25
So, Alonso and Sainz doing the same lap times as Sainz. It's going to be annoying.
13:53:42
Target plus five.
13:53:56
Sync plus four. Bleeding one more time now, thank you.
13:54:10
Sainz was 10.9 at last lap, so we're not losing lots of time.
13:54:25
I can't even... I can't even stand if you want me to.
13:54:35
AFM, so target plus six. The sights were at 10.8, so we are very happy with what you're doing.
13:54:52
Valtteri has just pulled out of the pits in front of Sainz as well.
13:55:47
Yeah, Stroll on exit, so I've got that.
13:56:01
Lewis Sainz, last lap, always at 11.2.
13:56:24
I've got a feeling Troll might try and rip a lap himself.
13:56:30
Is it 0.5? Yeah, 0.5.
13:56:44
And traffic on exit.
13:57:19
At box office.
13:57:37
So, box, box, left hander, flap adjust.
13:57:43
That's good. White line on entry. White line on entry.
13:58:13
So, reset diff entry. You've got 25 laps remaining. And it'll be outlap normal.
13:58:23
You can use the tyres.
13:58:26
Perez on used tyres, three and a half seconds behind.
13:58:58
No Sainz was an 11.1.
13:59:16
That's Sainz in the pitlane.
13:59:27
Lewis in the pitlane.
14:00:38
Twenty-three laps remain.
14:00:48
And that last stint was 24 laps on the medium.
14:01:04
Yeah, that medium was dropping out a lot towards the end. Pretty struggled.
14:01:17
Yeah, copy that. Sainz car behind is on the medium as well.
14:01:59
Lap time of Zhou.
14:02:04
11.6.
14:04:35
Lewis, five seconds ahead, doing 11.2s.
14:05:42
So, Lewis is in this lap.
14:06:36
George, how would the tyres be for a safety car?
14:07:35
And George, can you also update me on your pushing level on the switch?
14:08:04
2.5, confirm.
14:08:18
George, in the data we see that you can pick this up a bit. You've got Sainz doing 9.5 behind.
14:08:45
Green at 3, position 2. George, you've got Sainz and Piastri, both cars threatening us.
14:09:55
So we've got Sainz doing a 9.5, Piastri doing 8.8.
14:11:05
So, main time loss is turn 3, turn 4, entry, and Piastri pushing more in high speed.
14:11:34
Alonso has a blue flag.
14:12:25
Valtteri has blue flags.
14:12:43
So Norris and Verstappen fighting for the lead up ahead.
14:14:48
Sainz, last lap 9.7.
14:15:45
So we still see plenty of scope to push more on these tyres. Sliding power at very low.
14:16:42
Tsunoda has blue flags.
14:16:55
B-MIG in error.
14:17:25
And worth going back up to strat 7 now.
14:17:36
Norris and Verstappen driving each other off the track. Turn 3. Still opportunity here.
14:18:06
Albon ahead, turn 11-0.
14:18:18
Punch up, punch up for Verstappen. Car ahead.
14:18:25
George, you can win this. You can win this, George.
14:18:29
Let me fucking drive! There is no debris. Verstappen going slowly exit turn 5. Look out for Verstappen. Thank you.
14:19:19
Seven laps remaining, seven laps remaining.
14:20:15
So Piastri is now the car that we need to worry about.
14:20:25
Captain Piastri, three seconds.
14:20:42
Pit entry closed. VSC, VSC. Delta positive. Strat 1. Pitlane is closed, so everyone will be staying out. Delta is good.
14:21:02
Advise on tyres and brakes.
14:21:07
So avoiding low brake pressure.
14:21:18
So, just cool the surfaces, tight surfaces.
14:21:27
Find out if BSC doesn't take any damage.
14:21:31
VSC ending, VSC ending.
14:21:36
Just focus on the race.
14:21:55
Five laps remaining.
14:22:32
Strat 7.
14:23:13
Piastri was at 9.5.
14:23:32
So, Piastri, after three seconds, now Carpenter. It's over, Tom.
14:25:22
Two laps remaining.
14:26:31
So, final lap. Overtake press. Exit turn 1, exit turn 7.
14:27:43
Boom! Woohoo! Yabba-dabba-doo! Well done, mate. Well done. That's a pick of the pieces. Well done. Good job, mate. Well done. Picking up rubber. Green 1, position 12. Strat 14.
14:28:07
Brilliant job, well done, mate.
14:28:12
It's not over until it's over. It's not over until it's over. Okay, great job. Yeah, George, my bad. Speaking to you on braking, I just got it. It got me. You got very excited there, Toto. Very excited. And I'm even more now. Congratulations, we've got that win. That was so important. Well done. Well done. Well done, everybody. We wouldn't have got this in Bahrain. Well done.
14:29:27
Are we going to the pitlane? Into the pitlane, yeah.
14:29:55
I'll see you up there. There we go. Well done, Marcus. You did well. Well done, everyone.
