Lance Stroll
18:52:44
I can hear you, it's not very clear but I think that's my connection so I'll check when I get back.
18:52:57
Yeah, you're breaking up also.
18:55:44
OK, lads. Ready to check for the pitwall.
18:55:48
Yeah, that's all good. So it's just under four and a half minutes now.
18:57:47
Okay, so that's two and a half minutes from the formation lap. So we've got tyres in. Everyone ahead of you is on a medium tyre. And then you've got yourself, Colapinto, Hamilton, Lawson. They're all behind you, just directly on your side of the grid. They're all on hards, okay? So everyone ahead is medium. And then behind you, you've got Colapinto, Hamilton, Lawson, all directly behind in your side of the grid. They're all hard tyre.
18:59:15
And that's now one minute. So after the launch, Lance, the priority is just to push through sector 1 where we can, so make sure you build a gap after you start and through turn 1.
19:00:33
Okay, so as we said, priority is to push through sector 1 where we can land, so make sure you build a gap before and during turn 1.
19:00:56
The launch was free under target. Okay, minus three.
19:00:56
The launch was free under target. Okay, minus three.
19:01:09
So, pushing through sector 1 as much as you can.
19:01:35
High speed weaving before 11, then a hundred metre lift and a good stop.
19:01:48
And as much high speed weaving as you can to turn 12. If you can try and stay more right hand side, just on the racing line.
19:01:59
And when you get to turn 12, it's another hundred metre lift and a brake.
19:02:11
So, making space in turn 12 or turn 13. We do want to push through 13-14 for the left-hand side tyres.
19:02:22
Okay, and we want to push through 16 to 18, so steady where you are now, build a gap. So build a gap, exit 15, we want to push through 16 to 18.
19:02:45
Low speed scrubbing now while you're waiting.
19:02:51
It's all this low speed, you just start scrubbing the fronts.
19:03:09
Stay on the racing line. Bit of low speed scrubbing. It'll be two burnouts, Lance. Two burnouts. Try and press and hold K0 when you do the burnouts like you do in practice.
19:03:40
And then just need to run switch race. OK, switch is good.
19:03:52
Last car approaching the grid now.
19:05:54
So, Hamilton ahead and Lawson behind. Both hard tyre. Currently slippy track in turn 1. I think that might be some debris.
19:06:32
DRS will be active this lap next at turn 11.
19:07:38
Hamilton's off at turn 19, as you saw. We've got Lawson close behind.
19:08:26
Safety car, safety car, sorry. Run straight to safety car. Keep the delta positive. No overtaking. We'll stay out.
19:08:42
OK, so, I'm having to cool the tyres, so no tyre warming.
19:08:46
Just a couple of stops here and there to keep the brakes up. Make sure you're as close to the delta as you can be.
19:09:00
Turn 19 where Hamilton is, that's a double yellow, so the Delta KJ, you'll have to follow that.
19:09:22
Stay as close to the delta as you can.
19:10:31
Alonso, currently P12 at the only...
19:10:59
Lamps, let's get HPP on.
19:11:27
Let's get brake balance plus two.
19:11:34
Do it after the restart.
19:11:37
Copy that, I'll give you a reminder when we get going again. Car is being recovered now so it might not be too much longer.
19:11:48
And there is that recovery vehicle on track at turn 90. So just caution there.
19:11:57
And that's where you now are. So once you're past this zone, we just want to maintain front temperature, okay? So front's no lower than they are now.
19:13:26
Safety car will be in this lap. So when we get racing again, we're happy to use early energy exit 11.
19:13:35
So, just making sure we're close to the cars ahead.
19:13:39
You can just try and get the front temperatures back up a little bit as well. So let's get a good stop into 12.
19:13:50
You can do run, switch, race now.
19:14:07
Safety car in this lap is currently at turn 18. Lead car is just entering 16.
19:15:31
Suggest early energy exit 11. Okay, so you've got Russell, Ocon, Albon behind you.
19:15:53
Something's very much beating me.
19:16:39
Car ahead, Ocon, is medium. Car behind Albon, medium as well. He's stopped under the safety car.
19:17:19
DRS will be active at exit 11 this lap.
19:17:33
I'm happy to use the energy as you need. Brake balance plus two.
19:18:24
So you're now on lap 8. Just keep the planned stoplaps in mind.
19:20:54
Lance, we'll take another brake balance plus one, if you can. Lift and coast is good for us, so no more than the last lap. That should be OK. High speed management's OK.
19:21:46
So you're now on lap 10, Lance. Thinking more towards like a plan B, just with how the race has gone so far.
19:23:28
Take brake balance plus one again if you can.
19:25:11
So now on lap 12, so while we're in this traffic, just do everything you can for the tyres and keep them in good shape for later.
19:27:46
Lance, I'll take some balance feedback when you can. I have no grip, too much understeer. Copy, too much understeer.
19:29:26
If you struggle with understeer in sector 1, you can use the left-hand toggle in sector 1. Oh, my tyres are flat!
19:30:19
I'm actually now on lap 15.
19:31:08
Lance, we are happy with your tyre management for now, so just keep doing what you're doing.
19:32:01
Let's get Strat 7.
19:32:56
Last lap was track limits at turn 19. You're now on two strikes.
19:36:15
I know it won't be easy but just keep an eye on traction, slip turn at 11.
19:37:06
There are some cars coming in that will come out behind you so you should see Gasly behind you, be behind you at pit exits. He's several seconds back behind Magnussen.
19:37:20
This doesn't change anything for our race for now.
19:38:47
Okay, Lance, so you'll now be on lap 20. You'll now be on lap 20. Just a reminder of the plan B stop lap.
19:39:01
So, keep up the management in sector 1.
19:40:29
So, behind Albon, there is Magnussen on three-lap old hard, so we don't want to lose too much time on him when he gets to us.
19:43:01
So, car behind is Magnussen. Four lap on hard. We don't want to lose too much time with him. Just do your race. Clearly look at plan B, plus two, plus three.
19:45:38
Sit now on lap 24. Lap 24 now.
19:46:25
So Lance, if the low speed is starting to go neutral, we can try torque 12. Behind Albon you've got Gasly and Tsunoda, both 5 lap hold hard, so hopefully Albon holds them up.
19:48:08
OK, Lance, I'll take some tyre and balance feedback when you can. There's one flap. And we're able to get out.
19:49:00
Albon will come under pressure from Gasly behind him.
19:49:38
Early energy, exit 11 if you need.
19:49:56
That's a clap.
19:50:22
Stay out for now if you can.
19:51:32
Use everything on the tyre now. Use everything on this tyre.
19:52:04
Box this lap, box this lap.
19:52:24
Tire green dryer. Tire green dryer before you stop.
19:52:40
You may be fighting Jérôme Pedexitz. 28 laps to go.
19:52:51
So here is 14 lap medium.
19:54:28
Once we get past Zhou, we'll be into the introduction phase. I'm happy to get past him first.
19:55:04
Early energy, exit 11 available.
19:56:07
So it's 26 to go, so straight into the management as you are doing. Lift and coast in high speed management.
19:59:28
You can do HPP off.
20:00:16
So in terms of the race picture, so it's just about keeping this tyre good at the end. There's a mixture of cars trying to do two on one stop, so the two stoppers will come towards us at the end of the race. The one stoppers will come back to us, so just make sure you've got tyres at the end of the race.
20:01:58
Lance, how's the balance initially on this tyre? Copy. It'll be 22 to go at the end of this lap.
20:03:38
So, Albon has stopped behind us. He has come out behind Zhou. He's around eight seconds back. So, again, just focus on having some tyre at the end. Do the high-speed management as you are.
20:04:29
I'm happy to start reducing lift and coast slightly, so a minimum of a half of what you've done this lap.
20:10:19
I need to put HPP on.
20:11:10
That'll be 17 laps to go.
20:13:39
So Lance, as you are doing, just manage low speed traction slip as best you can so this lap is better in turn 1.
20:14:31
Yellow at turn 1. Thanks Tsunoda, spun. Okay, it's clear at turn 1.
20:15:20
Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel.
20:16:10
So you're currently P17, 14 laps to go. Ahead of Ocon you've got Bottas and Tsunoda. Bottas is dying. He had stopped very early and Tsunoda's got a five second penalty, struggling.
20:17:50
So it's 13 laps to go. Albon four behind and he's locked Leclerc, race leader, two behind him, so he'll start to take blues soon.
20:18:40
And ahead of Ocon you've got Bottas. He's 27 laps hard, so he'll come back towards you.
20:20:19
So the car behind is now the Leclerc race leader. He's three seconds back. So just keep doing what you're doing. Keep the tyres in good shape until the end of the race. It'll be 11 to go at the end of this lap.
20:21:11
So that's 11 laps to go. You can see Bottas defending hard so you can have a bit of fun. Leclerc is free back, race leader.
20:21:50
Use early energy. Exit 11.
20:22:52
Okay, good job, good job. So Leclerc, car behind race leader. You haven't got a blue flag yet though. We've got 10 laps to go.
20:23:28
That's a blue flag for Leclerc. Car behind.
20:23:43
So you've got a blue for Leclerc, you can let him go to turn 12, that'll be efficient.
20:26:12
So, there's eight laps to go, eight laps to go. We can half-lift the coast, Lance, but from your side, happy to experiment.
20:27:39
That's a blue flag for science.
20:27:52
So, seven laps to go. You've got a blue flag for Sainz. He's one second back. Albon is three seconds behind Sainz. We're racing him.
20:29:33
And that's six to go. Gap behind 12.12.
20:31:13
That's five to go. Gap behind 1.9.
20:32:54
That's four laps to go, four to go.
20:34:31
So, three laps to go. Let's get strat 6. You can do that now. Strat 6. Recommend brake balance minus one.
20:36:11
That's two laps to go. Two to go. Mind you, you can use early energy exit at 11 when you need it.
20:37:01
Albon has Norris one and a half seconds behind.
20:37:06
He'll get a blue scene.
20:37:50
OK, lads, final lap. D-STRAP 5. D-STRAP 5 now.
20:38:37
So we've got a blue flag for Norris, car behind. Albon's close behind him, so be careful. So blue flag for Norris, Albon 1.5 behind Norris and we're racing him.
20:39:33
OK, that is a flag. That is a flag. I'll give you some switches in a second. Apologies for that. Difficult day. Difficult weekend.
20:39:43
P15 in the end. Fernando P30.
20:40:05
Okay, so let's get HPP off. HPP off. Run switch warm up. And then it's MFB PU1 position 12. MFB PU1 position 12.
20:40:54
OK, that stretch is all good. Thank you for that.
20:42:43
When you pull up, just remember, P1 five seconds, MP0. Excellent, see you back here.
