12:52:36

Radio check, Gary. Radio check.

12:53:20

Do the corners properly.

12:53:56

Yeah, you see all the smeary stuff? Just go with the dry cloth.

12:54:11

Inside bottom as well. The very bottom.

12:54:20

That's good, Benji. It's fine.

12:54:32

Benji, I need the wheel. It's finished, it's fine. Come on.

12:54:42

But we should have done that earlier. I asked for that on the lapstick grid.

12:55:06

Benji.

13:03:58

Hard push, hard push.

13:05:18

DRS enabled.

13:11:41

Base is high for us. Yeah, copy.

13:12:32

Quite a lot of understeer in the car. I think we're missing some balance. Copy that. Small lift in coast turn 1 for brake temp.

13:13:54

Small lifting coast for turn 1. Consider right toggle for turn 10.

13:15:34

That's okay. Tyres are looking good. We just need some lift in coast to get brake temps down. We're still on target, still on plan.

13:16:29

Manage more turn 7. Diff 21 plus right toggle turn 10 should be the right balance for there.

13:16:39

Alright, Poggle, just set 321. See ya!

13:16:52

Just drop it now. Nothing, no info.

13:17:45

Car behind. Car behind Tsunoda.

13:19:01

It feels like we need to try a lot more air balance, like, minimum 1%. Copy.

13:19:58

So tyres are looking good. Tsunoda is doing 17.7 behind.

13:21:34

Box now, Nico! Box now! Box now!

13:21:46

I'm fucking early.

13:22:06

Albon will be about one second behind.

13:22:26

Mode push. Reset funk.

13:22:30

Tsunoda on medium. Albon behind him on new hard.

13:22:54

OK, Nico, we added 1% aero balance. Think what you want to do with your tools.

13:23:13

Why only one? I said minimum one. Take care of a lot of power maybe? Or just no DRS? I'll check.

13:24:11

Everything OK is on power side. I think it's just no tow and no DRS.

13:25:43

Not feeling great at turn 12. Give me some feedback there, I'll compare to Kevin. Copy that, we're checking now.

13:27:30

Turn 12, you're quicker than Kevin all the way through. We have more EB, we have more brake shape. He's obviously on race start hard.

13:29:38

We're doing good, Nico. We're inside the window up to P8. We can probably do around 16.1 would be an OK lap time.

13:30:01

Sargeant ahead is on race start medium doing 1 minute 18.

13:31:47

OK, Nico, think about P6. Might help turn 12. And we'll go 5 kph slower in turn 7, please.

13:31:59

I'm looking for rotation at 12.0. Copy.

13:32:12

Copy that. We'll look for that.

13:32:34

Ocon 2.5 ahead on race start medium doing 17.5.

13:33:28

OK, Hamilton just boxed. He'll be around five seconds behind. He'll be behind Tsunoda. He's on hard.

13:34:45

Ocon, 17.5. Tsunoda is under pressure from Hamilton, 2.5 behind.

13:36:25

OK, good job. We'll take more management. Turn 7, turn 8. Shape 4 could help turn 12.

13:37:18

Hamilton will probably overtake Ocon. Hamilton is much faster than us, so probably just don't lose race time with him.

13:38:57

OK, Nico, target lap time 16.5. We're in a good position, so we can manage more in 7.

13:40:16

So, Tsunoda's dropped off. He's five seconds behind, still behind Ocon. You still have people in your window ahead.

13:42:49

Should swap next lap in turn 1, Nico.

13:44:04

OK, good job. We're well inside Gasly pit window. He's doing 17.3 on race start medium, so we have plenty of pace margin for saving.

13:45:51

So Gasly boxed on the hard. He's 10 seconds behind, so he'll be going to the end.

13:48:24

OK, Nico, we're racing Gasly, Alonso and Stroll. They're all on hard. They just pitted in the last few laps.

13:48:48

They're all together. They're around 10 to 11 seconds behind. They'll also have to get around Albon before they get to us.

13:49:41

So those cars will be with us in 10 to 15 laps time with like 15 lap pressure tyres.

13:50:59

Turn to 5 kph slower, please.

13:51:43

We still think like 16.5 is a pace target, Nico. Gasly's doing 16.0 on a very new tyre.

13:54:47

Okay, the competition is Gasly 9 behind and then Albon Alonso all together they're like 9.5 behind.

13:56:49

30 laps to go at the line. Gasly did a 15.9 in free air, so we'll just think about what to do.

13:57:43

So you're P9, Gasly's P10, 9 behind, Alonso P11, 11 behind.

13:58:05

And Alonso is doing 16.3, so you're same pace as Alonso. Gasly 16.0, so this pace is good for now.

13:58:36

Press oil pump button. Pump button.

13:59:21

Last lap, Gasly. 16-0.

13:59:52

Turn 2, turn 7, just need a little more managing than now.

14:02:48

So Gasly 8 behind doing 15.6. Alonso 15.9.

14:04:04

Good job, Nico. Gasly is still doing around 15.8.

14:04:55

Nico, try not to use turn 13 exit curb too much.

14:05:41

That's Hamilton ahead there. New soft. Last lap Gasly 15.5. Gap is 7.7.

14:06:11

It'll be 22 laps to go at the line. We will be lapped in maybe 15 laps time. Everyone behind us is getting lapped.

14:07:29

Turn 7. Compromise the entry.

14:08:13

Gasly 15.6, gap 7.5, so yeah, just go slower into 7, that will help the tyre.

14:08:44

We suggest brake balance half percent rearward.

14:09:09

20 laps to go.

14:10:22

Good job, Nico. Gasly's a bit quicker, 15.3, but we just got to get to the end, so it'll be good.

14:10:45

Gap behind Gasly is 6, Alonso 8.

14:11:39

We'll have one blue flag in around seven laps. Gasly 5.5 behind 15.0.

14:12:56

Gasly 4.5 doing 14.8, Alonso 15.0.

14:14:14

Gasly 15.13 behind.

14:15:23

Gap behind Gasly to the next car. Gasly is 1.8, Alonso is 3.8. Alonso 3.8 behind doing 15.1.

14:15:51

Gasly 15.2, Alonso 15.2, Alonso will have Norris blue next lap. Yeah, enough. Nah, this is normal.

14:19:31

Oh, he's got blue and he's attacking me.

14:19:38

Okay, blue flag Norris, blue flag Norris.

14:19:43

Alonso 2.6 behind Norris.

14:20:36

11 laps to go.

14:24:01

8 to go at the line. Stroll 2.8 behind. Has a 5 second penalty. Ricardo is 5 behind you.

14:24:25

We're P11, so we'll need some help ahead, but there are cars together, so there could be something.

14:26:33

We suggest E-B7.
