Fernando Alonso
18:54:27
Radio check, Fernando. Yep, good. Dex, you can go ahead. Radio check, Fernando. Yeah, he's...
18:54:37
Yeah, both okay. Clear to check. Yep, you're loud and clear as well.
18:57:48
Martin Artis, Stroll, Colapinto, Hamilton and Lawson.
18:59:26
Okay, so it'll be 1.5 when Dermot gives you the signal.
19:00:29
That was exactly on target, on target. So you can make a bit of a gap now before turn one.
19:00:36
Make a gap around turn one so you can lean on the tyres through the first sector.
19:01:17
Do a bit of weaving down to turn 11 and then a hundred metre lift before 11. Then a good brake.
19:01:30
Make a bit of gap in turn 11 and then high speed weaving down the straight.
19:01:40
Take a hundred metre lift before turn 12, then a good brake. A hundred metre lift, then a good brake.
19:01:53
Bit of a gap in 12 if you need and then push through turn 13.15.
19:02:10
Make a little gap in 15 and then lean on the tyres through 16 to 18.
19:02:23
And one more break for 19 and stay on the racing line.
19:02:32
You can do a little bit of scrubbing and weaving on the racing line.
19:02:50
We'll do two burnouts, two burnouts. K-0 before you start.
19:03:07
So, two burnouts. K0 before you start and then careful with the grip up towards you.
19:03:24
Careful with the grip box position.
19:03:27
If he runs his race, one bike point find. Back to neutral.
19:03:34
Be first. One click rearward and brake balance. One click rearward and brake balance.
19:05:51
Through a slippery track turn one. Slippery track turn one with some debris, not sure where.
19:06:43
Strat 7 is free. You can do it now. Strat 7 is free.
19:08:24
Safety car. Slow down. Get the delta positive.
19:08:30
Hamilton, you can go and run switch to safety car.
19:08:35
Let's see. Hamilton's off turn 19. Exit.
19:08:40
I have to cool the tyres now.
19:08:44
We are staying out, staying out.
19:08:53
Turn 19 is a double yellow, so just watch the delta there, it's the other slower delta.
19:10:03
So we're still happy to let these tyres cool, especially the rears.
19:10:44
I'm going to have the HPP button on.
19:11:13
So, there is a recovery vehicle in the gravel track where Hamilton is now.
19:11:44
So the fronts are pretty close to optimum now. There's a recovery vehicle on track now. There's a double yellow sector there at turn 90.
19:12:07
Just build up some brake temp to keep the front temps where they are. They're good now.
19:13:26
Safety car will be in this lap. Safety car will be in this lap.
19:13:31
You can build up the brake temp a little bit.
19:13:36
And on brake balance you're currently plus two.
19:14:05
So that will be run, switch, race. Currently the safety car is at turn 80.
19:14:15
I'm going to run switch race. I'll say Dakar is just entering the pitlane now.
19:16:38
DRS is enabled this lap now.
19:18:18
Lawson behind is on the hard tyre.
19:24:31
Yellow button is on at the moment.
19:25:08
Yellow button off.
19:26:49
Good. Consider torque 12 for low-speed stability.
19:31:01
Russell behind is on hard. I'll take an aero balance check, please. Aero balance check.
19:31:12
I think 0.3 more.
19:32:47
So, Fernando, you think plan B is possible? Plan B? Russell's got DRS behind him.
19:32:58
Yeah, I don't know.
19:34:58
We'll just take a bit of a bigger lift here to make plan B work.
19:44:28
Yeah, our exit after 11 is what it is, mate. Yeah, copy.
19:45:28
HPP off. HPP off.
19:48:51
Just double-check. Still happy with 0.3 more aerodynamics. That makes sense for the hard cross. Yeah, it's okay, mate. Whatever.
19:49:42
Use everything from the tyres, use everything from the tyres.
19:50:16
And a box-box. Box-box. Box-box.
19:50:33
So four clicks forwards on brake balance, four clicks rearwards on brake balance.
19:50:39
Green dry iron is a great line.
19:51:00
Twenty-nine laps to go. Twenty-nine.
19:53:25
So, management just for laps up to lap 4 and then it should be OK. Bottas ahead is 11 laps over the hards.
19:58:27
So just big picture, Gasly is eight laps older than us. He's about eight and a half seconds ahead.
20:00:58
When you go for the P5, do the push and hold on the energy bar. You've got lots of energy. Yeah, man! Just when we arrive, he has the DRS.
20:01:50
I can see the one or two clicks weird on brake marks.
20:03:31
Consider a clip or two rearwards brake balance.
20:04:18
Consider back forwards on the brake balance.
20:11:01
Magnussen is just exiting the pits. It's his second stop.
20:13:30
Okay, Fernando, so we have had two track limits. We've had two track limits.
20:14:29
Yellow flag. There's a side on the outside.
20:17:41
Can consider a click or two rearwards of brake balance. Tyres are stable now.
20:20:59
Eleven laps to go. Eleven.
20:24:18
HBP off. Fernando, HBP off.
20:25:58
Nine laps to go at nine.
20:26:48
Fernando, just keep an eye on the fuel on the dash. It's all OK, but a little bit more lift and coast. Thirty metres more than you're doing.
20:29:19
Seven more laps. Seven.
20:31:46
Gasly is nine seconds ahead. If he gets one more track limit, he'll get another five seconds. The race leader Leclerc is five and a half seconds behind, so we want to stay on the lead lap.
20:32:38
Five laps to go. Five laps. You can go another click rearwards. Brake balance.
20:34:17
Four more laps. Four.
20:35:55
Three laps to go. Three. You can go to Strat 6. Strat 6.
20:37:15
So that is Blue Flag Leclerc behind.
20:37:38
OK, one more lap. One more lap.
20:38:27
You can go to Strat 5.
20:39:18
Check the tyre, check the tyre.
20:39:42
Run switch, warm-up. Run switch, warm-up.
20:40:03
Run-switch warm-up. Take the pick-up, please. Take the pick-up. Run-switch warm-up. And then MFB blue override position 12. MFB blue override position 12.
20:40:30
Can you just change the run switch to warm up? It's in form at the moment.
