Daniel Ricciardo
12:54:02
Yep. Radio's good.
12:54:21
So Daniel, as discussed, we are in shape 4, we have the pushdog long and we are in offset 2 currently. We do the formation lap 1 like this and we go offset 1 for the restart. After the first lap, we will then move back to offset 2. In terms of wind, it looks like the gusts have slightly picked up from the last couple of minutes, so a bit more gusty.
12:54:55
OK. OK.
12:55:41
Yep, clear.
12:56:09
Confirm. Understood.
12:57:48
OK, that's 2'32". Formation lap.
12:57:58
Daniel, we have all the cars around you on medium. We have both Red Bull on hard. The first car on hard behind you is Ocon.
12:58:17
Understood.
12:58:29
Okay, so once we pass the front line and we take the pit limiter off, let's keep working on those car gas temperatures and put energy, please. Brakes and tyres.
12:58:40
Yep. And sorry, to confirm, Yuki, hard? Confirmed. OK. So him and Ocon, you said, on hard and Red Bull? No, the first car behind you is Ocon. We have Ocon, Yuki, Stroll, all on hard. Bottas on hard.
12:59:02
Sorry for the confusion.
12:59:19
We can go ahead with weaving in the formation lap, but keep taking care a little bit going on power.
13:00:21
No transcript available
13:00:42
And that was one shallow compared to the targets. Not far, good job.
13:00:50
And people are pushing quite hard ahead of you. We do the same. We work on those temperatures.
13:01:59
OK, brakes are in a very good place. Offset one.
13:02:13
We would like one short tyre warming. One short tyre warming.
13:02:23
On mode 3, as soon as you stop on the grid, to help with temperatures.
13:02:36
Click of a tick. One shot tyre warming.
13:03:11
0.3 for the start.
13:03:41
Last car on the grid. Last car in formation.
13:05:05
Mode 7. Offset 2. On straight in 2. Watching after tyres.
13:05:24
OK, Daniel, now we look after the battery. I'll let you deal with it. You know what to do.
13:05:44
DRS enabled. Reminder for offset 2. One peak forward.
13:06:17
OK, we're in a good place with the battery. Shape 3. Happy for shape 3. Current lane 4.
13:06:36
Magnussen, 9 tenths behind. Head down to the front.
13:06:53
Let's get into those tyres. Exit turn 7. Let's try to avoid the snap.
13:08:20
And this lap was good on tyres. This lap was very good on tyres. We keep the same, please.
13:08:39
Understeer.
13:09:09
We see a little bit of front under rotation on 1.4, but maybe a good thing to keep 4 now to help rear tyres. Keep us posted. Yeah, I think it's OK.
13:09:46
Alonso 9 tenths ahead, Magnussen 8 tenths behind. Magnussen is defending against Gasly.
13:10:35
And Daniel, if you want to bring up the battery slowly, it's better to use mode 8. Better mode 8 if you want that. But we are in a good place.
13:10:52
Understood. Obviously early, but everything is fairly stable at the moment.
13:11:13
Copy that. Numbers are looking very good. Magnussen 16 behind.
13:12:01
And compared to Alonso, only braking point in turn 8 we are losing. If the front locking is getting too big, we can move to shape 3.
13:13:29
We can start to open this straight to make sure the understeer doesn't go too high.
13:14:02
And if you need a small step of rotation in low speed, we can increase EB one step. We have margin with rear tyres.
13:14:24
Yep, out of tip.
13:14:27
Yeah, what you see is what I feel. We're all aligned at the moment.
13:15:31
Keep straight 7.
13:16:23
I've seen traffic in the front. A little rise at the moment.
13:16:52
On panel heads up, we will have a five-second penalty in the pitstop for forcing a car off track in turn 8, lap 1. Head down. We will do the numbers to help you.
13:17:44
Okay, so front's about to get pretty bad now.
13:17:49
OK, we'll have a look. Looks OK from here. We'll keep an eye to understand.
13:18:02
Vibrations are still all good. Yeah, I'll just pop over here.
13:18:21
2nd, 3rd, left, front. Copy.
13:18:44
Let's consider plan B. It's getting worse.
13:19:33
I'm going to take losing time. Box, box, box, box.
13:19:45
10-4. Box.
13:19:53
Reminder, five-second penalty. Wait for the pre-start rev. We need to look after the tyres in opening laps.
13:20:16
You will be 1.5 behind Gasly. Look after your tyres in opening laps. Look after your tyres. Only go long.
13:20:25
Back to straight 9 for the opening laps when you can.
13:20:37
Okay, let's bring them in nicely please. Gasly 3.5 ahead.
13:21:01
If you have a target lap time, let me know.
13:21:47
And Alonso has pitted as well. Alonso has pitted. I'll keep you posted on pace. Just look after your tyres for now. I'll try to find some numbers.
13:22:35
So we are on the high 1.25 for now. High 1.25 and we need one more step management turn 11. Rest of the lap was good.
13:22:53
When you can, mode 6. Trampoline 8.
13:23:31
OK, Daniel, another couple of laps like this and then we'll pick up the pace. Good job. That was the hard work for the others. Good started on it.
13:24:02
Low deck, low deck forwarders started on hard.
13:24:19
But we do see signs of draining for cars who started on hard.
13:24:40
OK, Magnussen has pitted. He had a slow pitstop. He's five ahead of fighting Gaffey.
13:25:01
Are all the mediums starting to pit? Confirmed, they started to pit.
13:25:27
OK, Daniel, we're happy to pick up the pace one step apart from turn 11. Keep doing the same turn 11.
13:25:35
Hulkenberg, 35.0.
13:25:45
And all the leaders who started on medium are starting to pit now, going towards.
13:26:23
On Gasly, on Magnussen ahead of you. Last two laps 25.2, 25.5.
13:26:53
When you can, strat 4, currently in 2.
13:27:46
OK, we are good on the introduction. Let's pick up the pace now. We can target low 25. Let's catch Magnussen.
13:28:36
Alonso is doing 24.6 on a hard.
13:29:48
But there's still a little bit more time limited. Medium half-speed. There's still a bit more of a limitation at the moment.
13:30:18
Come on Daniel, we can see you open the doors. Let's see the next couple of laps. We need to tackle it as it comes. We need to make sure we tackle it quickly. So keep opening the doors. Good job.
13:31:46
Lance Stroll has pitted from hard. He will be two seconds behind you.
13:32:04
On Magnussen ahead 25.1. You can keep opening this straight if you need. We have margin.
13:32:36
And Stroll has pitted for a second hard.
13:32:51
Should we start on hard? Confirmed, confirmed.
13:33:07
So it's a group of three cars ahead of you, led by Albon, Pierre Gasly and Magnussen. And they are doing 25.2.
13:33:24
What time for the cars, do we? Let's start it on hard.
13:33:56
Last 26.8. Ocon, 27.3. Last lap.
13:34:13
That's it.
13:34:51
On Magnussen, last lap 24.8. Your last lap 25.0.
13:35:57
Okay, they are currently faster in all the corners, just losing a bit of straight-line speed. They are gaining with the DRS.
13:36:15
On Ocon, you're doing a 26.5. On Ocon, you're going hard. When he hits, he will be 5 seconds behind you.
13:36:46
Colapinto 4.5 behind. He's doing 24.8.
13:37:20
Gasly 3 ahead. Magnussen just went by in turn 11. He has a possible battery issue. But he's still going.
13:37:41
And if we can try to avoid the snap, exit turn 45. Last lap.
13:37:48
God, I'm dead.
13:38:12
On the car ahead of Bottas, Bottas is doing 26.9, only slowing them down.
13:40:06
271.8, go down on medium. We have run struggle.
13:40:31
Every car is on hard. Everyone struggled. Confirmed.
13:40:37
Fuck this!
13:41:01
Ocon and also Gasly, possible battery issue on long clips. Bottas is very slow ahead of you. He hasn't pit yet.
13:42:28
Consider offset 3, one click forward. Rear looking increasing.
13:43:54
Battery is high.
13:45:34
OK, let's start to protect those rear tyres, please. Offset three. Offset three.
13:45:52
And we keep looking after the snap exit turn 5 and we have a look at the balance in Friere in the high speed. We need to close the div again.
13:46:43
OK, Magnussen is doing the same lap time as you and they are starting to catch Ocon. Ocon is 1.3 seconds slower.
13:47:18
Straight 7. Straight 7. Let's close another step. We need one step more management exit turn 5.
13:48:07
Back to EB10, currently in 9. Back to EB10.
13:48:45
Ok, Ocon, that's pitted. I will keep you posted on Albon and Magnussen in Friere.
13:49:03
How does it feel?
13:49:32
I have understeer at turn 5.
13:49:36
Yeah, so I've been managing it. Bordered a bit to the rear, but I think when I push, I still feel the front a bit more of a limitation. But it's somewhere in the middle of the bandan. Copy that. Copy that. So all stable for now. Stable, but needing a little management.
13:50:04
Yeah, I can't go further out, but we are pushing the front tyres much back on at the moment. Loud and clear, loud and clear. You're doing a good job.
13:51:32
Close to Russell pit exit.
13:52:22
Let's make sure we keep looking after those tyres when Russell is coming on new tyres, please.
13:52:28
It's coming through.
13:53:15
OK, we see a little bit more understeer last two laps. We can open this straight again. Let's keep managing it to stay in the ballpark.
13:53:49
On heads up, Daniel Albon is slow. Potential tyre issue. He is doing 25 miles.
13:54:03
Okay, what position is he in?
13:54:22
Albon, pit end, but Russell coming through.
13:54:41
Consider back to EB9 to manage that understeer and Alonso had to pit again. It's not easy out there on tyres.
13:55:45
The target for us is to go as long as possible. You look after your tyres as much as you can please.
13:57:14
Strat 5 when you can. Currently in 4. Strat 5.
13:58:03
Still straight 4. One step more open. Straight 4.
13:58:38
Stability is manageable. Let's go back to offset 2 to try to protect this front left tyre. Offset 2.
13:58:58
Gap understood.
13:59:01
There's the last elapsed stage. Progression check on front axle.
13:59:28
Copy that. We'll keep it under control.
14:01:29
Deep straight 3.
14:02:18
OK, Daniel, do you think we can afford one more step on engine braking?
14:02:25
Do you think it's over? Confirm, that's right.
14:02:53
Ok Daniel, the cars ahead managed to find a little bit of pace the last few laps. Albon 24.4. But copy on your limitations.
14:04:18
Let's go to D straight 2. D straight 2. That's the last step of L1.
14:05:08
We can consider offset one-click reward for turn 11 and then back for turn 1.
14:05:43
On the main difference to the cars ahead, it's braking turn 8, 1 tenth. We have Alonso 3.2 behind on new tyre, one second faster.
14:07:07
OK, Daniel, heads up. We will explain later. When Alonso is coming, do not waste time with him, please. Do not waste time with Alonso. He's one second faster.
14:07:26
Yep, I understand. We will explain later.
14:08:00
Or we can do E-B6 if you need even more rotation.
14:08:16
Alonso is one tenth from the DRS. He should have DRS now. Don't waste time with him, please.
14:09:25
OK, we have Colapinto 4.5 behind and he's doing low 25, high 24.
14:09:59
Mode 5. Maintain 6. Mode 5.
14:10:52
Six more laps.
14:12:17
We can see more rotation now. We are pushing a bit harder. We need to deal with switches.
14:12:49
Back to mode 6.
14:13:40
Albon was doing 24.5 and now he's doing 24.2. Same lap time as Colapinto. Last lap.
14:15:37
Only difference to Albon last couple of laps was straight line braking turn 4, between half to one tenth.
14:18:08
One more lap. One more.
14:18:15
Have a good race.
14:19:57
Good job, John.
14:20:03
Mode 12 negative. Charged jump.
14:20:06
Fail 84 fail.
14:20:10
OK, Daniel. We have an additional 10 second penalty. Nothing to do with you. Something on our side. So that drops us behind Colapinto in P13. Magnussen ahead at the 10 second penalty. So he's dropping in P10 on Albon P9.
14:20:32
So we have Leclerc, Piastri, Norris, top 3. We have Sainz, P4, Magnussen, P5, Russell, Magnussen, P6. Perez, Russell, P8, Albon, P9, Magnussen, P10. Ok Daniel, I think you did what you could. We just need to keep working out and find a little bit more there to squeeze in. Thank you.
14:21:01
Yeah, that's it. Yeah, I see it. Bit jerky. But yeah, we'll keep going.
14:21:13
OK. We'll debrief later, but thank you.
14:22:13
OK, Daniel, so again, all around on your side, I think you should be pleased. Last race, this race was all very clean jobs, so now we move to the flyways. We try to find a little bit more performance and put it in the next one.
14:22:34
Yep, understood. We'll keep at it. Yeah, let's keep working hard.
14:22:43
When you stop the car, P1 and then reminder to go full car switch off in P0. And let's make sure you remove the headrest again so we don't damage it. Thank you.
