Esteban Ocon
13:03:18
OK, last cars forming up.
13:05:30
DRS enabled.
13:08:50
OK, us work so far. Settle into a rhythm.
13:10:08
OK, my tyre management is looking good so far.
13:11:01
Suggest the open modifier for turn 1.
13:12:43
Good work on the DRS gap. Happy to push the tyres if needed.
13:14:01
Help on point six.
13:15:40
Don't get any grip on the wheels. Understood.
13:16:12
Suggest unlatch white modifier.
13:16:36
ABC 0.7 behind, stick with it.
13:18:47
Suggest brake 4 when you come.
13:19:22
Copy that. Sargeant, the car behind, medium tyre.
13:20:30
OK, Max, we're sticking with you for the moment. You're doing a good job. Keep it up.
13:21:46
Okay mate, still working towards plan A. Hulkenberg also stopped.
13:23:06
Okay, let's make use of this cleaner.
13:23:29
Pace of Pierre is 17.1. He's got four seconds gap in front of him. Clean air.
13:23:58
Still plan A for now.
13:24:47
Magnussen, now the car behind him.
13:25:41
Magnussen hard tyre, 1.9 behind.
13:26:57
Gap stable behind. Pierre lapping 17.1.
13:28:14
Hold 7th gear before turn 7. Stay in 7th before turn 7.
13:29:30
At the moment, still plan A at the moment.
13:30:27
Magnussen, 0.8 behind he has DRS.
13:32:10
Hulkenberg three seconds behind.
13:33:04
Hulkenberg behind. Eight-lap hold hard tyres.
13:33:28
Still plan A. How's the balance?
13:33:50
The balance for flaps is OK. Understeer, low speed a bit.
13:34:21
Cars behind Hulkenberg and Tsunoda on a two-stop strategy. They need to stop again.
13:34:46
Suggest dip mid 3 for low speed balance.
13:35:39
Hulkenberg with DRS behind. Hamilton, the car behind him, fresh hearts.
13:36:27
I will set the car behind.
13:37:45
Tsunoda behind. 12 lap on medium. Also needs to stop again.
13:38:38
OK, happy to push the tyre more. Turns 2, 7 and 8 if you can. 2, 7 and 8.
13:39:55
Pierre lapping 17.0 in clean air.
13:40:51
Tsunoda one second behind now.
13:41:14
Tsunoda has DRS. Albon close behind him.
13:42:09
Think about status switch. Think about status switch.
13:42:20
Box this lap. Box, box.
13:42:39
Hard tyre. One turn down.
13:42:53
Clear pit exit. Close to Zhou pit exit.
13:43:48
Joe behind 12 lap old hard tyres.
13:43:59
Let's bring in this tyre gradually, status 5.
13:44:13
We are on plan A, Esteban. For now, plan A.
13:45:22
Push to turn 1. Could be close with Tsunoda. Pit exit.
13:46:44
Ok, so cars in front, Sargeant, Ricciardo and Bottas we think could go to the end.
13:48:23
Happy to push more turn 7.
13:49:13
Pierre, second lap on the hard tyre, 15.3. No management required, turn 2.
13:50:30
Okay, Tsunoda 1.1 behind. Sargeant and Bottas, cars in front, might need to stop again. 10 lap, all the tyres are here.
13:51:46
Pierre, last lap time 16.0.
13:52:38
Both cars in front saving a lot. They might be trying to go to the end.
13:54:19
Okay, happy to use the tyre to push past these two in front.
13:55:22
Norris, the race leader, three seconds behind us. Try and push through.
13:56:47
Blue flag. Norris is the race leader. One second behind.
13:58:33
Okay, good job, Pierre. Clean air, lapping 16-0.
13:59:02
Fail B-0-0. OK when you can. Fail B-0-0.
14:00:39
Okay, so P15 at the moment. 10 seconds up the road. Ricciardo and Albon. Ricciardo going to the end. Albon may need to box again. He'd come up behind us.
14:01:56
Pierre lapping 15.7. 26 laps to go.
14:03:13
Verstappen now, the car behind, five seconds back, he's in P2.
14:04:29
Pierre lapping around 16.0. Verstappen four seconds behind.
14:05:22
OK mate, confirm status when you can.
14:05:46
OK, mate, we're happy there.
14:06:37
Okay, so Verstappen two and a half behind, Leclerc in P3, six seconds behind him.
14:07:02
I think Albon in front is going to box some of our racers with Ricciardo eight seconds up the road.
14:08:18
21 laps to go.
14:09:10
Blue flag for Verstappen. Leclerc in P3, five and a half behind.
14:12:05
Leclerc three seconds behind. Piastri in P4, 1.5 behind him.
14:13:19
Okay, so Pierre now in clean air, lapping 15-0. Albon is boxed. He will come out behind us.
14:14:14
Okay, we're happy. Status zero all the way to the end.
14:15:54
OK, Leclerc 1.3 behind Piastri, 1.3 behind him.
14:16:05
Blue flag, Leclerc.
14:16:23
Blue flag, Piastri. OK mate, next car back is Sainz.
14:17:12
OK, 14 laps to go. Albon is five cars behind, 11 seconds back.
14:17:25
He's our biggest threat at this point.
14:17:35
How many laps to go? Fourteen, including this one.
14:18:06
Okay, so next blue flag is Sainz. He's three and a half behind.
14:18:30
13 to go. Sainz three seconds behind Pierre. 58 lap times in traffic.
14:19:46
Twelve laps to go. Sainz two seconds behind.
14:20:59
OK, 11 laps to go. Seven seconds behind Sainz is Perez. He's the next blue flag, but Albon, who we're racing, is right with him.
14:21:26
Leaf flag sights.
14:21:56
Perez, six seconds behind.
14:22:19
Perez and Albon lapping 15-0.
14:23:34
Nine laps remaining.
14:26:06
Seven laps to go. Perez four behind. Albon one second behind him.
14:27:24
Six laps to go.
14:28:15
Albon 1.5 behind Perez.
14:28:24
What's our position? 14 at the moment.
14:28:38
Five laps to go, so Albon 11 lap hold mediums. Stick with it, see what we can do.
14:29:11
Blue flag, Perez.
14:31:11
Three laps to go.
14:32:05
Okay, flashing blue for Russell, two and a half behind him.
14:32:28
Two laps to go.
14:33:11
Blue flag Russell.
14:33:46
And last lap, Hamilton three seconds behind us.
14:35:03
OK, and that's the chequered flag.
14:35:08
Okay, so scenario 10, please. Scenario 10, we'll keep recharge off. Scenario 10 and recharge off.
14:35:17
And normal in-lap procedures from here.
14:35:22
Copy. Okay, so P15.
14:35:28
So just for info on the race, in the end only six cars went for a two-stop.
14:35:38
Everyone in the top six went for a one.
14:35:56
OK mate, so normal in-lap procedures.
14:37:33
And normal switch-off procedures.
