You okay, Alex?

Yeah, that'll clear. Okay, whenever you're happy, we're going to put some tape over on the wall here just to give you a reference. So Rob's there, so we'll move the guys out of the way when you're happy and then we'll mark it up.

No transcript available

Happy with that. OK, good.

OK, that's five and a half minutes to the green light.

Is that me right on the edge right now? Is that me in my grid spot perfectly? Yes, you're on the yellow line.

Yeah, I see absolutely nothing. There's no line for me.

Yeah, you're bang on it. Okay, I'm going to have to leave. Wind very similar to FP2. You probably saw it back with Luke. We've done the one-turn-up flap. And just confirmation so we don't see any losses from the change that we made. Okay, have a good one, Alex.

Galex has just under three minutes to go. Tyres have just come through. So, Magnussen in the pitlane is starting on new hard. Then on the grid, everyone is on new medium apart from Tsunoda in P11, Hamilton on P14, Bottas P16. They're on new soft. So, everybody medium apart from Tsunoda, Hamilton and Bottas on soft.

OK, that's one minute to green light, so when you're fired up and on the ground, pit limiter on, please.

30 seconds.

15.

Five seconds.

Clutch drop was on target.

Confirm four burnouts, please. Four burnouts.

Clutch drop target plus two.

And when you stop, we just need to pull the toggle on and go start.

OK, cars ahead are Ocon and Ricciardo, and then Bottas, who's struggling on the soft.

Yeah, we're just slow in the wrong places and fast in the wrong places. Copy. Let's see what we can do.

We need more deployment after the last corner. Copy, Alex. We'll see what we can do.

If you think you're close enough, push and hold is available. Yeah, it's not working. Hold on.

We're just losing a shit tonne of lap time right now, so...

Okay, understood, Alex. So coming on lap 10, we'll have a look and see what we can do.

If you're close enough you can push and hold all the way to turn one. That's everything we've got.

Considering plan B-2.

Yeah, come on, let's get on.

Yeah, copy that, Alex. So, let's check the grey multi.

Asset mode 9.

Box, Alex, box.

I'm going to be pushing flat out.

Track clear. Pit exit.

So car ahead is Zhou, 13 seconds. His last lap, 17.8.

Mode 6 when you can. Mode 6.

Tsunoda and Hulkenberg are pitting. They should come out ahead of you, but you'll be close.

Bottas is pitting. You'll be ahead. Pit exit.

Okay, we've now undercut everybody on the Stroll in P11.

Okay, so that's Zhou pitting ahead of us, so he's out of our way.

The drivability feels really bad suddenly. Down the straights it's like on and off. Copy, we're checking.

Yeah, Alex, we see it. Stand by, we're going to drive a depot for you and that'll fix it.

I feel like it's about to blow up.

OK, driver default. Blue 04 OK. Blue 04 OK. That'll fix it.

Guys, I fucking blew 0-4 because I've been through.

Okay, Lex, we haven't lost much. If we get down to 16.0, we'll catch the guys ahead with about four laps.

Tsunoda ahead. Last lap, 16.9. Close to Hamilton pit exit. He should be ahead.

Tsunoda ahead two seconds. He's done soft to medium, so he will have to stop again.

OK, let's go. Mode 7. Mode 7. You're half a second quicker than Tsunoda ahead.

Ocon ahead of Tsunoda is doing 18.1. Push and hold is available when you get close.

We are so bad at traction. Push and hold available again. Wait, he's got DRS. We're not going to get him until he gets past. Yeah, copy that. Ocon's really struggling, so we should just go by him easily.

Expecting Ocon to pit this lap.

Do you not like my 13?

Okay, we're happy to use mode 13 if you're happy to manually go up the pack. Yeah, cool. Okay, let's go 13 then.

Okay, push and hold down to 1.

Please let me do it. I know the gaps. I know what I can overtake with. Okay, understood.

OK, so Gasly pitted as well and has gone behind you, so he's on hard. Car ahead, now Magnussen, five seconds.

So Magnussen ahead started on this same set of highs.

Yeah, they're boxing me in on purpose. I don't know why.

Copy that, Alex. We heard it. He's helping Hulkenberg.

Again, it's just dangerous. Like, really dangerous. Same as Monaco, and they don't...

What's the context of our race? What are we doing?

Okay, we're thinking plan B plus five or six, so we'll use it to jump some blues. I don't know. Just tell it to me, we're not really in a race.

Am I trying to keep you guys behind? What am I trying to do? We will need to stop again.

Yeah, but am I defending for these guys? What am I doing? Yeah, just defend and do what you can.

We're right at the bottom of the pack. We need more anti or mode 5.

Fuck me, that's good.

So that'll be 25 from A loop. Do you want to go up the way? Yeah, we need to take the blue.

No, we're just going to finish first, aren't we?

Okay, we expect Verstappen to be in two or three laps, so Norris 1.5 behind to be blue this lap.

Blue flag, Norris.

When you can, mode 5, mode 5.

HPP on. So we just need another couple of laps. We're just going to maximise our tyre advantage towards the end.

So, how is the balance? What do you think about the lap?

Coming up, plus one.

So we're just delaying a little bit for one more blue flag to come into our pit window and then we'll jump a load of cars.

My fronts are totally gone. Like, completely gone.

OK, yeah, copy that, Alex. I'm right, it's going to be 2.

OK, Alex, go box for this lap.

Box, Alex, box!

Set mode 6.

Track clear, pit exit.

The car ahead is Perez. He would have been a blue and ahead of us is Magnussen. Five seconds.

Okay, so cars ahead are going to start taking blues for Perez. You're quicker than Perez, so let's stay with him and go through these cars ahead.

Good job, Alex. Next one is Tsunoda.

Okay, good job, Alex. So next car we're chasing is Ocon, 11 ahead, 13 laps remaining.

Yeah, well, I'm just stuck.

Yep, copy that. So we think we've got about seven tenths of a second ahead.

You're about a second quicker than Ocon and he has to take these two blues.

Ok, Gap to Ocon is 9 and he's about to take his first blue.

Ocon's taken the first blue, so gap now seven.

That's 10 laps remaining.

Set mode 7 when you can.

Will Perez catch him or not? If I don't overtake Checo, will I ever catch Checo Esme? Yeah, you're both catching him at one second a lap.

Okay, two will catch him, yeah? Yeah, you'll catch him in five laps, so that'll be two laps from the end.

That's seven laps remaining. Gap to Ocon, four seconds.

Okay, Ocon will take the blue from Perez next lap. We'll have push and hold available every lap to the end.

And that's four laps remaining.

Good job, Alex.

Set mode 5. Mode 5. That's two laps remaining.

Starting final lap.

That's a chequered flag, chequered flag. HPP off.

Okay, good job today. So that's P14 for us.

It's a good recovery after yesterday, so sorry about that.

Yeah, I don't think we really showed our face today. But, yeah, well done everyone. I think, um, thanks Logan for that. As well for the, uh, for the holdout.

Copy that, Alex. Thank you.

Alex, I don't think we got a chance to show what the car can do today, but well done for sticking with it. I'll come back stronger in Monza in a week.
