12:55:21
Oscar, radio and drinks check. Yep, radio check and drinks are good. Cool, you're loud and clear.
12:57:34
Oscar Taranifo, all the top six cars on new medium. Perez and Russell on new hard. Have a good race. Thank you.
12:57:49
And Alton Stroll in P7 and P8 on USE soft.
12:59:48
30 seconds.
12:59:56
20 seconds.
13:00:09
Turn.
13:00:14
Bye.
13:00:54
Oscar clutch drop feedback that was 2% deep. After turn 5, normal full load and lift into turn 6.
13:01:37
And lift it to turn 12.
13:02:05
And white, H14, position 1.
13:02:14
And there will be two burnouts from the end of the exit kerb.
13:03:02
The last cars are forming up now.
13:04:42
Gap behind 1.7. Good job. And straight into tyre management now. Straight into tyre management.
13:04:56
DRS is enabled.
13:07:31
Strat 6. Strat 6. High-speed saving. Currently similar to Verstappen and Lando.
13:07:58
Verstappen has let Lando through following the turn 1.
13:09:55
ACS off.
13:11:19
I suggest top right toggle turn 12 and 13.
13:11:42
And tyre management looking good. Opportunity for a slightly bigger lift at turn 3 perhaps.
13:13:06
So, Oscar, plan A target lap, plan A target lap. Alonso in P7 doing 1.25.8, so we're clearing a good gap on those cars.
13:14:31
Strat 7.
13:15:55
How's the tyre now, Oscar? How's the tyre? It's still good. We're going to push it that much more than this.
13:17:18
Opportunity to the other car. Minimum speed turn 7. And we are in the window for a full safety car only. Full safety car only.
13:17:47
Copy.
13:18:42
Ok, Oscar. Cars behind will soon build pit windows on Stroll in P7. This is a good chance to try and pull away if you can.
13:18:57
Lando 3.2, Verstappen 5.3.
13:20:21
Half a second quicker than Verstappen. Good job.
13:22:32
Turn 14, no toggle.
13:22:55
Okay, we're now in the window for a safety car or virtual safety car. Confirm that.
13:23:11
Confirm.
13:24:21
Gap to Verstappen is now 6.9.
13:25:44
Oscar, are you happy with front wing?
13:25:48
Yes, I've maybe capped out half. Copy.
13:26:01
Hamilton has pitted.
13:26:23
Oscar, once past, use the pace.
13:26:45
Strat 9.
13:27:07
ICS button. ICS button.
13:28:11
Oscar, box this lap. Box this lap.
13:28:36
That's confirmed and accurate on the marks.
13:28:48
Launch map off. Launch map.
13:29:06
Okay, Oscar. Lando is three seconds behind. We've stopped early and planned to cover Hamilton. You can bring the tyre in.
13:29:21
Car ahead is Sainz, 3.8.
13:29:55
ACS button. ACS.
13:30:16
And just a reminder, with cars ahead now, tyres will need a bit more management. Verstappen 24.5.
13:30:32
Strat 7.
13:31:42
Small opportunity for more saving in turn 3.
13:32:43
I think Sainz will pit.
13:33:05
Keep managing peak pressures. Turn 1, turn 12. Verstappen's pitted as well.
13:34:31
Turn 6 was a good step but you're using the tyre a bit much in the exit of 7.
13:35:49
Leclerc's pitted. Now you have clear air. Tyre management looks similar across cars. They're doing a good job. Pre-second gap behind.
13:38:36
Pace is very good. Pace is very good. Opportunity turn 6. Brake release.
13:40:01
Is it track 10? Come back down.
13:40:13
And not significantly in our latest measurements, but it has clouded over a bit.
13:40:27
Track temp just up and down with the clouds.
13:42:44
Oscar, that one was a bit too much in turn 7. Zero oversteer.
13:42:59
And don't overdo the braking turn 6.
13:44:07
Oscar, how's the tyre?
13:44:10
Oh yeah, feels good. It's a stutt.
13:44:22
Would it be okay if we had to restart a safety car?
13:44:37
I think it's over here.
13:45:30
And turn 1 exit last lap. Don't use the rears quite that much.
13:46:53
There's some cars ahead now. They're all backmarkers that have come out of the pits, but you'll start to pick up some dirtier air. There's quite a few cars there.
13:48:17
Gap to Albon ahead is now four seconds. Reminder for blue flags, you need to get inside 1.2.
13:49:45
Oscar, is everything okay?
13:50:11
Okay, we're in the window for a full safety car. In the window for a full safety car.
13:51:08
Okay, pace is still good. Make sure you stay off the astro because that put a lot of temperature into the rears. Settle them back down. We're in a good place.
13:52:33
Okay, we're now in both safety car windows, safety car and virtual safety car. Copy, I think target level is up.
13:52:46
Understood. We think we need target minus five. Target minus five.
13:53:56
Okay, pace looks to be recovering a bit. How's the tyre? Yeah, it recovered a bit now.
13:54:11
Next few laps will be tricky with the traffic. You're doing a good job.
13:55:20
OK, you've got five seconds of clear air now. Five seconds of clear air.
13:55:34
We're still pulling a gap on Hamilton and Verstappen is still stuck behind him.
13:58:10
Opportunity turn 4 entry. Still thinking target minus 5.
13:58:26
Copy.
13:58:37
ACS button. ACS.
13:59:34
That's a good lap. Rapace is recovering well. Gap to Hamilton, 9.7.
13:59:47
Oscar correction, Hamilton 11.2.
14:00:01
OK, Hamilton has pitted for hard.
14:00:58
Oscar, we still think plan A, target minus five. We think we will not try and cover Hamilton. It's very early to stop now.
14:01:13
Co-pilot's lap feels like it's recovered a bit.
14:01:24
Copy that, and gap to Hamilton is 31.
14:02:23
Oscar, how far do you think we can get? Can we get to plan A target lap?
14:02:35
Still driving for target minus five, but could we get to target lap?
14:02:50
I think target minus two is possible.
14:03:47
I think minus two for P-Ambitious. There are a couple more laps.
14:04:00
Look at the opportunity turn 4 entry and turn 11.
14:05:38
Strat 9. Strat 9.
14:06:34
Okay, Oscar. Lando has pitted to cover Hamilton, so make sure he covers Hamilton. We'll manage that situation. Best pace from you now. Best pace.
14:07:00
So, Oscar, we're trying to extend while staying ahead of Hamilton. That's to minimise the offset to Verstappen.
14:07:14
Just best pace. Don't worry about Lando.
14:08:04
Ice is still good.
14:08:11
Verstappen, 23.8.
14:08:27
We're boxed this lap. Boxed this lap.
14:08:53
Copy box.
14:09:25
Launch map. And accurate on the marks. Accurate on the marks.
14:09:37
I'm launching my pop. I'm launching my pop.
14:09:42
Okay, Oscar, you will be a couple of seconds behind Lando. We will manage that. Bring the tyre in. Bring the tyre in. Don't worry about Lando.
14:09:56
Strat 7.
14:10:43
ICS button.
14:11:18
Oscar, turn 12. Exit. No oversteer. Stay off the astro. We don't need that.
14:12:33
OK. Gentle introduction done.
14:12:43
Verstappen has pitted. He's behind.
14:12:54
Verstappen is behind Hamilton and Leclerc.
14:13:51
Okay, Oscar. So, once you get to Lando, we will swap position. We'll swap position.
14:14:02
But we want to avoid Lando having to give up a lot of race time.
14:15:13
Okay, so Verstappen is behind Hamilton. Hamilton is six seconds behind you.
14:15:24
So it's Hamilton, Leclerc, Verstappen. You're pulling away from Hamilton. He's 22.9.
14:16:11
ACS button. ACS.
14:17:33
Sarge, pass blue.
14:19:22
Hamilton, last lap, 22.6.
14:19:31
Gap to Hamilton is eight seconds.
14:23:23
OK, behind. Hamilton is still the car behind. Verstappen has passed Leclerc. Hamilton is 10 seconds behind you.
14:23:37
There's now 13 laps to go. Would you take a safety car here?
14:23:51
It would cost one position to Verstappen. Yes.
14:24:47
Okay, we're in the full safety car window. Full safety car only.
14:26:07
That is Hulkenberg. He will get blues.
14:27:09
Hulkenberg goes blue now.
14:27:32
Ten laps to go. Ten laps.
14:28:57
Why don't we pull out? I've got a smoke break.
14:29:09
Oscar, we'll get that done soon.
14:29:21
We just need best pace from you. Best pace from you for nine laps.
14:30:17
This is a safety car, we don't want to have an accident.
14:30:29
Understood Oscar, we're on it.
14:31:36
Potential debris. Turn 1. Hamilton and Verstappen touched. Verstappen ran wide. Gap to Hamilton still 13.6.
14:33:01
Okay, keep it really tight, Oscar. Keep this really tight. Just maximum focus now, best pace.
14:33:15
Safety car window is closed.
14:34:27
Five laps to go.
14:34:41
We'll leave this to risk your guts.
14:34:51
Understood, Oscar. We're managing it.
14:37:10
Okay, three laps to go. Lando's letting you through.
14:37:37
Strat 9. Strat 9.
14:38:33
So, two to go. Full concentration now. Good job.
14:38:59
Strat 5. Strat 5.
14:39:56
This is the last lap.
14:41:21
Well done, Oscar. Well done. Checkered flag. Well done, buddy. Really good. Got a couple of switches. ACS off. ACS off. H11, 12. H11, 12. And leave recharge off.
14:41:43
Thank you everyone. Thank you very much. Thanks for the coordination. Sorry, I made the swap a little bit more painful than it needed to be. Thank you, appreciate that. Well done. Maximum points. Really good weekend.
14:42:05
Ha! First F1 win. Thank you, everyone. Thank you very much. Thanks. Yeah, well done, Oscar. Well done, mate.
14:42:31
So the finishing order was obviously you and Lando, Lewis, Leclerc, Verstappen, Sainz, Perez, Russell, Tsunoda and Stroll.
14:42:46
And you are also driver of the day.
14:42:52
Huh, nice little bonus, thank you.
14:43:24
Really good job, Oscar. Lovely. So, you're boxing. When you get to the FIA, pull up on the board with the number 1. And then remember to turn the car fully off. I know you'll be over-excited. Remember to turn the car fully off. And I've been told that Mr. Randy Singh will be joining you on the podium.
14:43:45
There you go, Randy Singh on the podium. How about that? Thanks everyone.
