Esteban Ocon
14:58:46
Low start from the pit exit.
14:59:58
Let's see if we can drop in behind someone, Esteban.
15:00:23
Okay, so I'm going to get going.
15:00:24
When we get going, make sure we get most of our tyre on track and we'll get a clean read on balance, so straight out please.
15:00:37
We can go to brake 5 as well for this outlap, brake 5.
15:00:39
Brake 5. Tsunoda the car behind.
15:01:23
And we'll use DRS down to 8.
15:01:46
OK, we're going to add some weaving down to 11 and...
15:01:48
11th and break through.
15:02:04
Good to go. Good read on this clean balance.
15:03:41
Let Fernando through, he's pushing now.
15:03:45
Clear behind Fernando.
15:03:50
Clear of traffic behind.
15:03:52
OK, so how is balance on that first lap, please?
15:03:55
Braking at turn 2.
15:03:56
Braking at turn 2 was better.
15:03:58
Okay, pass, good.
15:04:07
Okay, so we're just going into a single cool. We'll go for another lap after this. Pierre's just finished his first lap.
15:04:16
So just over 10 quick, I want to give you some driving advice.
15:04:25
Next car pushing behind is Piastri.
15:04:27
7 seconds time lap.
15:05:52
Esteban, would you like a flap adjust?
15:06:12
OK, so box now. I think we'll go up half a turn on the front wing.
15:06:46
Okay, so straight out, we've got Verstappen starting a time lap now.
15:06:55
Slow, clear of traffic, pit exit.
15:06:58
Tsunoda will be pushing this time.
15:07:04
Also next lap. So we're in phase with the guys in front.
15:07:22
So, Albon coming through. Three seconds.
15:07:25
Car behind him is Leclerc on a timed as well.
15:07:32
Cleared 5.5.
15:07:36
Leclerc, three and a half time.
15:07:46
And we're clear of traffic there.
15:08:21
So, we can add some weaving. Let's go.
15:08:39
Phase with all cars.
15:09:23
So we've got a recharge on push next lap.
15:09:26
Watch for Zhou coming behind timed.
15:09:29
Timed. One and a half.
15:10:18
We've got Hulkenberg behind 5.0.
15:10:23
Magnussen, four seconds behind him, also pushing.
15:12:12
OK, recharge on.
15:12:27
It's not worse than the morning.
15:12:31
The same, actually.
15:12:33
Understood.
15:12:42
Let's go brake 5.
15:12:43
So brake 5, please brake 5.
15:12:48
So it is touching, but there seems to be less of a travel up and down.
15:13:07
I'll try and give you some information where I can.
15:13:13
I think Sainz might be doing a double cool through the pitlane.
15:13:19
If you want to follow him, I'd be happy to do that.
15:13:23
He's in front? Yeah, Sainz is just in front of Ricciardo.
15:13:25
So he's the next car off the road.
15:13:32
His pace is reasonably high though, so he could be boxing.
15:13:39
Next lap. Sainz, I think, is going to drive through the pitlane.
15:13:46
You have Zhou on a timed lap of 5 seconds.
15:13:48
About five seconds behind.
15:13:53
So, Zhou, three seconds timed.
15:13:55
Timed. Clear behind Zhou.
15:14:05
Boxing. Sainz is going to lay rubber in the pitlane. Let's do a slow approach into the pitlane.
15:14:10
Might be able to stay behind him.
15:14:18
Nice tow. If not, we'll just drive straight through.
15:14:22
And we'll focus on balance on the next lap.
15:14:41
Okay, so once again we're gonna have to warm fronts at the end of this lap. Tsunoda just leaving the last corner now, finishing a timed.
15:14:53
Okay mate, so it's going to be a pretty clear track this time. I think I'll go a bit ago.
15:14:58
Leclerc...
15:14:59
Leclerc 7 behind just finishing a time lap as well.
15:15:09
Okay, so what I think we do here, let's focus on tyre prep at the end of the lap.
15:15:15
So, Pierre's just finished another timed. He did a 21.8.
15:15:20
31.8 his second lap.
15:15:21
Second lap equivalent to your...
15:15:22
Equivalent to your last one was a 22.3.
15:15:25
Main time to gain.
15:15:26
Green time to gain.
15:15:28
I'll just watch for Leclerc.
15:15:31
Keeping his pace up. He's not pushing.
15:15:39
Brian, let's tame the braking down a little bit. We need to focus on exit of 4 and 5.
15:15:46
On a speed of 8, 9 and 10.
15:15:48
And the exit there as well. They're the two losses.
15:15:51
So 4-5 exit.
15:15:54
Corner turn 8 and carrying that speed through 9 and 10.
15:16:00
Okay, let's try and push...
15:16:03
Take up the front right in particular.
15:16:05
And we'll go brake 3 when you're ready.
15:16:12
Leclerc in front, he's got a box at the end of this lap.
15:16:22
Need to wake up the surface of the tyre, recharge off, one more push.
15:16:26
Brake 3, please, brake 3.
15:18:11
Ok mate, recharge on and we're gonna...
15:18:14
Box now. Track is clear behind.
15:18:29
OK mate, so this puts us P11 at the moment.
15:18:31
11 at the moment, with that 22.
15:18:32
At the moment, at 22.2, then we'll have a look.
15:18:33
2. We'll have a look at things when we're back in. Obviously it was a lap with no tow at all.
15:18:40
Can we have an aero cruise after turn 10, please?
15:18:44
It'll be aero P3. You're clear of traffic behind.
15:18:47
That's after turn 10. I repeat, through.
15:19:25
Okay, mate. That's box now, please. Box now. We'll stop on the marks and switch off. No pitstop this time.
15:19:30
Next time. Make comments on balance on the way in, please. Keep calm.
15:19:34
And multi-factor tyre as well.
15:19:50
Stop on the marks and switch off.
15:20:14
Okay, so we'll get some comments when you're plugged in.
15:30:11
I'm in front on an outlap. That's his second call.
15:30:19
Now he's four seconds behind. Watch for him, please.
15:30:27
Next car back, Hulkenberg, pushing 5 seconds.
15:30:40
Off at turn 7. This could be a red flag.
15:30:53
Magnussen in the wall on the left-hand side. Exit turn 7.
15:30:59
Copy. He's OK.
15:32:02
First one, so box now.
15:32:28
Keep the straight line speed up, just try and keep some time.
15:32:31
I'll try and keep some tyre temp in as well.
15:32:58
Stopping on the marks and switching off.
15:33:02
I'll explain the plan when you're back in the garage.
15:41:19
I think there's a reasonable chance the only other car to not have set...
15:41:22
Any other car to not have set a time is Tsunoda.
15:41:24
I'm not sure where he is at the minute.
15:41:26
Hold it for a minute. Try and find out.
15:41:28
Is Pierre going on low fuel as well?
15:41:30
3-0.
15:41:31
I believe so. I'll find out more and let you know.
15:41:46
OK, mate. 30 seconds till the green light.
15:41:50
I think we're going to have to be quite pushy on this outlap.
15:41:54
Flat through three at the moment.
15:41:55
3 at the moment. Try and build that temp up.
15:42:02
Okay, 15 seconds.
15:42:12
Reminder, you're in scenario 8, we've got 5 seconds.
15:42:14
We've got five seconds until the green light.
15:42:17
Perez, the other car that hasn't set a time on the soft, so he could be doing the same as well.
15:42:23
Four in total.
15:42:40
Okay, so it's possible, so Russell, who's at the front of this queue with Perez, could be...
15:42:45
Perez could be low fuel as well.
15:42:48
So the only car now with high fuel potential in front of us is Piastri.
15:42:52
Let's try my best lap we can.
15:43:02
Correction, we think Russell maybe high fuel. He's on a used medium.
15:43:10
170 reference through 6 and 7, please. 170 reference.
15:43:26
Hard weeping wherever possible.
15:43:41
Perez, eight seconds in front, low fuel.
15:43:51
Just need brake 3. Perez, 6 seconds in front, low fuel.
15:43:57
Brake 3 and we're good to go.
15:45:36
Ok, recharge on. Watch for Pierre starting a time behind. He's coming through.
15:45:39
Time for height. He's coming through.
15:45:40
And then Ricciardo pushing...
15:45:42
Ricardo pushing now, two and a half.
15:45:44
And then Hulkenberg three seconds behind him. Two more cars to come through.
15:45:54
Norris now 7 seconds behind High Fuel.
15:45:56
Quite a lot of understeer in 6 and 7.
15:46:03
Okay, mate. Understood.
15:46:10
Norris, two and a half behind. Timed lap. High fuel.
15:46:16
Box towards flap, please.
15:46:19
Yeah, just discussing how much would you like.
15:46:23
Turn.
15:46:49
Car behind Verstappen.
15:46:51
No transcript available
15:46:52
He's high fuel already seven seconds back, so we have boxing now for a flap adjust.
15:47:11
And box now, Esteban, for a flap adjust 1 turn up.
15:47:46
Okay, so we've got Fernando and Stroll leaving the last corner. They're on high fuel.
15:47:52
So, Fernando coming past you now. Stroll 3 behind him.
15:48:07
Oh, this lap is going to be difficult with traffic.
15:48:21
Six seconds. High fuel.
15:48:31
Cars from Albon to Hamilton, they're at turn 3 to turn 8.
15:48:35
Turn 2 now, behind you.
15:48:38
Gap behind Hamilton of eight and a half seconds, which maybe we can drop back into.
15:48:51
We've got a good gap in front of us here.
15:48:55
Our two choices are...
15:48:57
Stay where we are, which looks like we're going to.
15:49:08
OK, let's go. Brake 3 now. Brake 3.
15:49:12
Good gap ahead.
15:49:14
Should be able to push the whole way.
15:49:15
Right, see what balance we've got.
15:50:22
Let us know if you want to abort this lap.
15:50:55
OK, recharge on and box.
15:51:00
Okay, we'll keep our pace up on the way in, please.
15:51:22
Albon 5 behind time-lapse. Keep your pace up, please.
15:51:24
Five lap. Keep your pace up, please.
15:52:09
Now, please, Esteban. Box now.
15:52:16
Step on it.
15:52:24
OK, stopping on the marks and switching off this vehicle.
15:52:26
Turning off. This will be a quick turnaround.
15:56:30
OK, so start from the end.
15:56:32
From the end, please.
15:57:05
OK, so retros toggle.
15:57:08
Clear track behind.
15:57:10
You want to just drop back from Hamilton in these two corners.
15:57:17
And we can feel the balance.
15:57:23
Oops, at the end of this one.
15:58:25
Timed laps. Two timed laps.
15:58:28
6% too light for him.
15:59:36
One click forwards on brake bias.
15:59:52
Last time lap.
16:01:00
Esteban suggests going two clicks.
16:01:03
Bias and push in turn 1. Braking this time.
16:01:38
We have a grid from this point.
16:01:43
Check the flag. I'm going to cool the tyres down.
16:01:46
Stop and go to the grid for a start.
16:02:03
On the right-hand side, there will be...
16:04:57
Box this lap. Practice, practice, practice.
16:04:58
Finish this lap. Practice pitstop.
16:05:16
No launch. No launch.
16:05:36
All right, cool.
16:05:37
Who gets the comments when you're plugged in?
