Esteban Ocon
19:01:12
Clutch throttle 1% too light.
19:01:41
OK, high slip events this part of the lap.
19:02:45
Okay, so it'll be one burnout before turn 20.
19:03:05
OK, and then four burnouts from the timing line. A static right point lap.
19:03:35
I will need the yellow modifier on as well. Yellow modifier reminder.
19:03:54
Last cars forming up.
19:04:41
Check, cut down to 3 on left. Yeah, we're looking, we're looking. All OK on tyres at the moment.
19:05:13
OK mate, so everything looks OK for us at the moment. We're going to keep looking. For now, let's sail back into it.
19:06:05
Okay, mate, we're happy. No damage visible. DRS enabled. Let's catch up to that group.
19:06:56
OK, so we can think about going forwards on brake bias. I'll look after the rears. I think you plan A here.
19:07:33
Yellow, 19, yellow, single yellow.
19:07:46
Suggest white modified turn 1. Possible safety car here. Hamilton in the gravel.
19:08:26
And safety car, safety car. OK, so no overtaking. Let's get positive on that delta.
19:08:38
Brake temperature is all good. I got hit by a hull behind.
19:08:45
I will check. I'll have to look. The Williams is hanging. There's something hanging on his right-hand side. Understood. We'll have a look at that.
19:08:58
Ok mate, so no overtaking as a reminder. Cars in front are Albon on the medium, Russell on the hard and then Bottas on the medium.
19:09:11
OK mate, any tyre feedback so far? Everything feel OK?
19:09:17
Taxi to the SPY at the moment. Understood, OK.
19:09:21
Okay. Okay, so caution around turn 90 for that car in the gravel there.
19:09:31
Yeah, it is hanging, this thing, so it's going to hit someone. Understood.
19:09:50
Okay, so everyone has stayed out, no one has boxed. Albon. Albon is boxing now.
19:10:13
OK, fail B-0-0. OK, please, fail B-0-0. OK.
19:10:50
Ok mate, so for info, we'll be asking to do that same fail B-0-0 before the restart. Ok, I'll give you plenty of notice.
19:11:09
Okay, so Albon has the pitlane now. It's 12 seconds behind.
19:11:37
Okay, so caution again at turn 19. There's a recovery vehicle there now.
19:12:05
Esteban, we'd like to go to brake 5, just for a short time, just to help you with some front tyre technique. Brake 5.
19:12:39
We're happy to do any low frequency. We think you can do any low frequency. We think you can.
19:13:09
And Albon behind is still on a medium tyre.
19:13:15
Same tyre? New set. New set of mediums. Yeah, OK.
19:13:25
OK, so safety car is in this lap. Let's go brake 3 now.
19:13:39
So, brake 3 and then fail B, 0-0, OK.
19:13:58
Okay, switch is all set. Let's focus on the rest.
19:14:31
Overtake available. Two single pressers at the restart.
19:16:45
DRS enabled.
19:18:22
Suggest brake bias. One click forwards.
19:20:06
OK, good job so far. Keep it up.
19:20:59
OK, Stroll, I need just the DRS range.
19:21:09
Bigger lift earlier turn 70.
19:21:48
Suggest white modifier turn point.
19:24:19
Stroll 1.2 behind. No DRS. How are the tyres, please?
19:27:45
Can I get feedback on tyres and balance when you can, please? Yes, sliding a lot.
19:28:35
Okay, so what do you think about plan A at the moment with your current feeling?
19:29:29
Suggest going up on diff mid to help balance.
19:31:10
I come out with thick Bottas in front of the box at the end of this lap.
19:32:02
OK, so Bottas and Zhou, the first cars to stop.
19:32:52
OK, mate, balance limitations when you can, please.
19:33:41
The grip is the main issue, not the balance. Understood.
19:34:33
And we suggest the white modifier turn 12 and turn 1. 12 and 1.
19:35:23
I suddenly lost all front end on that 16-17 check. Understood. Magnussen has box runway.
19:36:13
Pace ahead.
19:36:17
OK, so next car is in front, lapping 41.1, Pierre.
19:36:29
Yeah, 41.5.
19:36:50
Pierre has a box for me.
19:37:09
Okay, he'll come up behind us.
19:37:55
Okay, so Pierre on the hard tyre now. We suggest the open modifier 16-17 to help there.
19:38:10
I don't want to wait for a safety car or something.
19:38:16
No, we're suggesting the open modifier for balance. Still on plan A.
19:38:26
But there was only one instance. Understood, OK. If it carries on, then we can consider using it to help.
19:39:39
And update phase when you can, please. Need to select that on the multi.
19:41:19
Let's keep it up. Stay with plan A. Plan A and copy on your face as well.
19:42:09
Okay, I just found a bigger lift at turn 6 to help manage surface temperatures there.
19:43:02
Okay, so I'm Pierre on that new hard tyre lapping around 41.0, roughly 41.0.
19:43:52
Fernando, the car in front, 21 lap old mediums.
19:44:42
Okay, Magnussen now the car behind five lap old hard tyres. He's lapping 40.4, 40.4.
19:45:35
Okay, stay with plan A. We might extend the stint.
19:46:24
There's about a few cars out there struggling with grip on the hard.
19:47:15
Magnussen, point nine behind with DRS.
19:49:00
Okay, mate, let's stick with it. Let's keep going.
19:50:22
Perez's box could be closer than pit exit.
19:50:37
Fernando's box as well, close with Perez, be effective.
19:51:27
Okay, happy to stop doing any tyre management. You are doing a phase update when you can, please.
19:52:03
Hulkenberg. Box in front. Could be close. Pit exit.
19:53:07
Okay Esteban, update the status switch when you can please. Update the status switch when you can.
19:53:38
Okay, Spam, let's stay out while Hulkenberg is behind us.
19:53:45
Just stay out and stay out.
19:54:50
Okay, so we're going to stay out until you think you'll lose time with Hulkenberg, so keep us updated. Just keep us up. Good.
19:57:22
Esteban Hulkenberg, point six with DRS, max push please, max push.
19:58:16
Max push will be boxing at the end of this lap.
19:58:50
Box, that's lap, box, box.
19:59:05
Okay, hard tyre, no flap adjust.
19:59:21
Status zero on exit. Should come out in front of Stroll.
19:59:27
No tyre safe required.
19:59:41
Stroll, full up, hold mediums behind.
20:01:56
Stroll has to stop again, oh no!
20:02:00
I'll give you feedback on strategy at the moment. Pierre lapping 40.5 on 15-lap old hards. These should get better as they warm up.
20:02:48
We think everyone around us has done all their stops, so we're going to the end.
20:03:37
Okay, two cars up the road. Bottas and Fernando on the hard tyre. We're lapping four tenths quicker than them at the moment. Let's keep it up.
20:04:30
No threats behind at the moment.
20:08:42
Everybody in front has done their stuff? Yeah, everyone in front has.
20:09:28
Our only question is around Bottas and Tsunoda. It's possible they could stop. They've both come out behind us. Let's keep the pace up.
20:11:09
Fail B-0-0. OK. Fail B-0-0. OK.
20:12:48
Sorry, we need that fail B-0-0-OK, please. Missed the OK press.
20:13:02
No, it's all good mate, all good. Okay, let's stick with it. 16 to go.
20:14:29
Yellow flag, turn 1. Yellow flag, turn 1. Single yellow.
20:16:07
Okay, white modifier turns 1-11-12.
20:17:50
OK, 13 laps to go, assuming we're lapped.
20:21:59
Okay, good job, let's push him up. Leclerc, the race leader, is four seconds behind, so we'll get a blue flag for him soon.
20:24:29
OK, Leclerc two seconds behind. He is the race leader.
20:25:49
Blue flag, Leclerc.
20:26:09
Gap behind Leclerc. Three seconds to stroll.
20:27:50
OK, seven laps to go. Sainz four seconds behind. He's in P2.
20:28:39
OK, so Sainz 2.6 behind now.
20:30:20
Okay, Sainz 1.3 behind Esteban. At some point we might stop onto a soft tyre to set the fastest lap. I'll keep you updated.
20:30:40
Blue flag, Sainz. Three seconds gap behind him.
20:31:10
Five laps to go.
20:31:33
We don't have any news of them.
20:31:47
Copy that, Esteban. We might need to try anyway.
20:32:29
Box this lap, please. Box this lap for a soft tyre. I don't think we'll manage the car bounces everywhere, but up to you. We're going to try. Let's give it a go.
20:33:09
Okay, so we'll come out about four seconds behind Bottas.
20:33:18
Okay, mate, so go steady through sector 1, this one.
20:33:28
I don't really understand the aim, but yeah. I'll explain more later, we just want to do it.
20:33:51
Okay, so we're going to treat the rest of this like an outlap. So gradual on throttle from 11.
20:34:05
And I need fail B-0-0-OK, please. Fail B-0-0-OK.
20:34:20
At SOC 14, please, Esteban. SOC 14.
20:34:35
And we need scenario 6 just before the start of the lap, please. Scenario 6 right at turn 20.
20:34:45
Got a good gap in front. Best lap you can, please.
20:35:50
At the end of the lap we'll go scenario 1. Do not turn recharge on. Do not turn recharge on.
20:36:40
Scenario 1. Two laps to go.
20:36:50
How was it? Yeah, it was good. Thank you. Half a second clear. Sock eight, please. Sock eight.
20:37:31
OK mate, that's good and we're going to need one more lap after this one.
20:38:20
Last lap. Last lap.
20:39:59
And that is the chequered flag. Scenario 10, please. Scenario 10.
20:40:09
Normal in-lap procedures from this point. Okay, so thank you very much for that. To explain, Colapinto in P10 had the fastest lap. Ah, copy. Yeah, so you're doing that, yeah, basically got us a point back effectively, so thank you very much.
20:40:38
Okay, mate, so well managed through that. Once again, thank you. So, some race info for you. So, Pierre finished in 12th for info, but he ended up with a five-second penalty with track limits. The top ten, we had Leclerc won the race, Sainz in P2, as you saw, Verstappen and Norris P3 and 4, that's after Norris got a five-second penalty as well for gaining an advantage going off track. Piastri in P5, Russell in P6, Perez 7th, and then the last three are Hulkenberg, Lawson and Colapinto rounding out the top ten.
20:41:24
There was 12 before the five seconds or after the five seconds? That's after the five seconds. I don't think it made a difference to his position in the end.
20:41:32
I don't think I'll double-check that one.
20:41:37
Okay, mate. So, again, normally that procedures from here. And we'll be coming in the pit entry.
20:42:45
OK, normal switch-off procedures when you come to a stop.
20:43:00
Yeah, lost some brakes, turn 11. Like 10, 15 laps to go. Efficiency just dropped massively.
20:43:12
And the bouncing just got massive. Also 15 laps to the end.
20:43:23
OK, copy that. Yeah, I think that's worse than sprint Saturday.
20:43:31
Sure, understood. We'll have a good look through everything when you're back in the office. Thanks again for your efforts this week. Let's have a go next week.
