13:57:07
OK, Nico, you can switch off the three minutes remaining. Three minutes.
13:57:33
You can go back to P2 to be ready to fire up.
13:58:14
Nico, we can go SOC 4. It just gives us more flexibility and then when we do that back off we'll have an easier chance of going to SOC 1. We'll just talk about the conditions a lot.
13:58:38
Just under two minutes.
13:59:21
One minute to go. DRS disabled.
13:59:37
OK, we can fire up, Nico. 40 seconds to go.
13:59:48
BBW error message. Just come off the brake and then it'll correct itself.
14:00:02
Yeah, it's okay now, Nico.
14:00:15
Just under five seconds, Nico.
14:00:39
Okay, gap to Kevin is two, three, four, and he's got a six second gap to Norris.
14:01:19
Mode K2. K2. And we've got BC already.
14:02:17
OK, Norris is 11 ahead, Kevin 4 ahead, Piastri 3 behind, still cars leaving the pitlane. I think it will be fast, so fast. OK, go down to sock 2 just to give yourself some margin. Then mode push, mode push.
14:02:39
Okay, gap is five, six, six.
14:04:46
Just keep pushing so we'll save fast-slow-fast for the next run.
14:05:12
Yeah, my tyres are running 80s. Yeah, copy. You're still on a good lap time.
14:05:22
And I'm close behind that Ferrari now.
14:05:46
So I think Piastri behind is still pushing, so if we need fast, slow, fast on the second run, we have to adjust what we're doing.
14:06:00
Where is Piastri? Piastri 2.5 pushing. Piastri 2.52.
14:06:14
OK, that's Piastri. So, Nico, we're going to box at the end of the next lap to be correct on timing, so you start the next lap but then box, OK? Hamilton 4.5 behind, pushing.
14:06:29
Copy, but I think one lap for the second run could be enough, to be honest. Okay, so watch for Hamilton 3 behind, and I'll come back to you on that. Just start the next lap. Hamilton finishing a push, 3 behind. Charge off mode push. Watch for Hamilton 2, 1 after Hamilton, Zhou 6 behind, finishing a push.
14:06:51
And you can go SOC 1 if you can.
14:09:01
OK, charge on. Watch behind. I think there's no one pushing. We'll box into this lap.
14:09:17
OK, press in button. Leclerc is pushing, so just watch Leclerc. He's three behind.
14:09:25
OK, Leclerc 2 behind pushing and then Russell 7 behind. We'll box into this lap.
14:09:32
Ok, that's Leclerc there. Tyres are overheating already on that second lap, so I think definitely one, especially with a hot car. Yeah, copy that Nico. Right now you're at P15. We can do one more lap to be ideally timed for one-timed, or we can, if we come in at the end of this lap, we'll have two laps worth of fuel effectively.
14:10:01
You mean just an extra in-lap to burn fuel? Yes, that's what it would be, an extra in-lap to burn fuel. That's the trade-off. Right now P10 is like a 57.6, so almost one second quicker, but I'm sure with the new tyre and the track improvement it's there.
14:10:22
What lap time did Kevin do and what's his aero balance? Kevin, 58.4, so almost the same. So almost the same lap time and I'll check on his balance.
14:10:35
We definitely think we would add. So, Nico, seven minutes remaining, so I think we do another circulating lap. Copy. So watch for Sainz pushing. I'm sorry, Sainz 2 behind. Looks like he's on a push lap.
14:11:03
Okay, so we'll stay out. We'll do one more lap. We'll box at the end of the next lap. Piastri is finishing a lap 7 behind.
14:11:23
OK, I'm trying to work out who's pushing. We'll box at the end of this lap. The other car is 2% forward on balance, but they're half a percent over balance, so they need 1.5 forward from where we are.
14:11:41
First pushing is Zhou, probably 13 behind. So I think we can put on like a percent, Nico. What do you think? Yep. OK. Copy.
14:12:12
So, Nico, we will box into this lap and we'll have time to hold, so we'll delay fitting and hold.
14:12:55
OK, box now, Nico, box now.
14:13:02
Box now. Watch way. Bridge lights.
14:13:09
Do you want a BC on the other lap? I would say probably not. No BC.
14:13:22
OK, so we're adding the aero balance and then...
14:13:28
We suggest P7. Okay, so we're going to hold you here for a bit, Nico. We're going to delay fitting the tyres for about one minute. So we'll be correct timing for one timed.
14:14:09
We can go out in mode K2. We'll be fitting tyres in 30 seconds.
14:14:55
Go or not? It was green light. OK. You can go, Nico, go.
14:15:05
Okay, first pushing is Bottas. He's in one now, so watch for Bottas. He'll be alongside on a push.
14:15:13
OK, watch for Bottas pushing.
14:15:17
Bottas now. Ben.
14:15:24
Bottas not pushing.
14:15:54
We have 2 minutes 20 to start the lap. There's Bottas there, obviously, and then four cars ahead of him on back-offs.
14:16:09
I need a bit more power.
14:16:18
Do I go push? No, but it will hurt the push lap. Just go push for a little bit and then come back.
14:16:52
You're okay behind and plenty of time, 1 minute 20.
14:17:03
OK, remember, mode push.
14:19:16
Okay, checkered flag, press in button, minus on delta time.
14:19:22
It's a good lap, still quite a few cars to finish though, so we'll just watch.
14:19:30
To be honest, it doesn't feel very good.
14:20:12
Yep, I see we're out. Yeah. I didn't expect that, to be honest. It doesn't feel good. I just don't have the grip. Yeah, copy that, Nico.
14:20:27
Yeah, so you're P15, Kevin's 16.
14:20:33
I think we're 16. Oh, no. Yeah, 16.
14:20:42
What was Kevin's lap time? He did 56.5, so 0.192 slower. And then P15 Stroll was 56.07, so 0.13 quicker.
14:21:05
OK, box now, Nico.
14:21:27
Weybridge, Nico. Weybridge.
