Charles Leclerc
19:53:28
Radio check, bye.
19:53:31
Loud and clear. Instead of doing minus two, do only minus one.
19:54:40
In terms of track, Charles, we are now 38 close to 39 and it was 33 on the laps to grid.
19:54:53
It was 33.0 and now it's 38.0? Yes, plus 5.0. We expect this to be the average probably over the stint with these clouds coming and going. Yeah, that's why I chose 2-1. I'd rather have a strong form than a weak one. Copy.
19:57:09
And as a reminder, on the formation lap we need quite a bit of lift and coast into 1, 4 and 12 in all the braking points.
19:57:51
So, Charles, first top 11 cars, new medium. And then six cars on hard at the end of the pack. First one is Lawson in P12.
19:58:57
You can fire up.
19:59:07
Reminder, pit limiter on, mode formation, bite point, clutch test, 2 red, K2 on, and Lyco on the left of red. Thank you.
19:59:48
Thirty seconds.
20:00:08
Ten seconds.
20:00:13
Five seconds.
20:01:14
Secondary F-C position six, secondary F-C position six.
20:01:43
Big Lyko into 12.
20:02:05
One burnout, one burnout.
20:03:36
Last car is on the grid.
20:04:38
K2 off, K2 off.
20:04:53
Stay out. Safety car deployed.
20:04:59
Stay positive.
20:05:14
So, Tsunoda crashed into turn 1. You're currently P4, Verstappen P1, Sainz P2, Norris P3.
20:05:32
Can you hear anything on Norris' radio about an engine problem? It looks like he doesn't have a lot of power.
20:05:43
No, nothing yet.
20:05:49
Where you can gain some speed and like it.
20:06:09
Debris turn one in the middle and on the outside. Be careful.
20:07:03
And if you can, good target would be minus 30 on the dash for tyres.
20:09:13
And wherever you can, not easy, some Lyko. Gain some speed and some Lyko.
20:09:38
It's either the tyres or Leico. Tell me the priority.
20:09:44
What you're doing is okay. This is a good compromise.
20:09:56
Do what you need for tyres.
20:10:55
You're doing a good work on tyres.
20:11:48
The drink is spinning. I need to drink, even if I don't want to.
20:12:25
And this is good on tyres. Keep doing what you're doing to maximise equal throttle. Albon car stealing to turn 1.
20:12:43
I think the pump is gone on the water bottle.
20:12:51
OK. Nothing we can do now.
20:12:59
Tell me when safety car is in. I'll try to disconnect it, I think, after the safety car.
20:13:07
I'll be driving.
20:13:24
They don't appear ready yet, but we'll let you know. Coffee. Is my radio quality good? Because it's like, the balaclava is completely wet. For now it's very good.
20:13:56
And as you're doing when you can, find space and maximise full throttle.
20:14:06
So it should be one more lap after this, at least.
20:14:32
And we have completed five laps. Five laps.
20:14:45
Track has been declared clear, so probable safety car in this lap.
20:15:06
Safety car in this lap.
20:15:12
It will be K2 on at the restart.
20:15:53
K2 will be until turn 1.
20:16:18
And safety car in the pits now.
20:17:59
Hamilton 1.1 behind, Norris 0.9 ahead.
20:18:39
DRS enabled. DRS enabled. 0.82 from us.
20:19:19
Brake balance plus one. Hamilton, no DRS behind.
20:20:01
And reminder on the light.
20:20:42
Hamilton, no DRS behind. Carlos now P1.
20:20:51
And keep doing like a...
20:21:39
Well done. Cool the brakes. Cool the brakes. Well done.
20:22:04
Handbrake is with DRS behind.
20:22:27
Verstappen 1.0 behind DRS.
20:23:02
Verstappen, no DRS.
20:23:25
Verstappen, no DRS, 1.4. Carlos, 1.5. This is good. Let's get into the rhythm.
20:23:47
And we need to keep doing the standard Lyco, please.
20:24:07
And a bit more saving in the high speed for tyres. Thank you.
20:24:24
And Sainz 1.2 ahead.
20:24:49
And Leica for brakes please. Carlos, 1.3.
20:25:10
For now, plan B for Bravo. Max 1.9 behind.
20:25:30
And we keep doing the status we agreed.
20:26:10
10 seconds penalty for Verstappen behind. We need to keep doing our status. Status 3. Roger, roger.
20:26:32
And we're losing a tenth in turn 13 compared to Sainz, for reference.
20:27:08
Do you have DRS?
20:27:31
And you have DRS.
20:28:28
And keep it clean. You have a good pace. Keep it clean.
20:28:52
Diff mid plus one. Gap to Sainz now 1.8.
20:30:36
And switch position, yellow. Switch position, yellow.
20:31:35
And easy traction out of 12. That was a good turn 1-2-3.
20:31:43
We're losing in the last sector, 13 to 16.
20:32:18
A bit more Lyco, please, and earlier turning into 13.
20:32:58
We need more Leica. Possible debris turn 4-5-6.
20:33:58
Take care of surface temperatures to go faster.
20:34:24
Lyko N12 can help for tyres into 13, 14, 15.
20:35:03
Much better turn 1-2-3.
20:35:45
Carlos, 21.8.
20:36:25
And we need more Lycra. Slightly more Lycra, please. This is too little.
20:37:05
Sainz 21.4.
20:37:27
I think if we cool down a bit our surfaces, we'll find some lap time.
20:37:41
I cannot cool down the surface. I'm three seconds off Carlos. On the dirt here I'm sliding more. It's normal that I'm behind you anyway. So today is making me tricky to get closer than that.
20:39:49
Brake balance minus one. Sainz 21.5.
20:39:56
Verstappen, 22.3.
20:40:11
And we need to keep doing the Lyco, please. I am, right? Yes, a bit more.
20:41:13
We have completed 24 laps. Sainz 21.4.
20:41:34
Verstappen behind, struggling, and switch position red. Switch position red.
20:42:33
Multifunction D-O position 11. D-O position 11. Carlos 21.7, Max 22.6.
20:44:01
And more lift off into turn 4 and 12 please.
20:44:17
And Verstappen has boxed, from Norris next car behind, 6.5.
20:45:20
So Sainz 21.8. Now Norris gaining a bit of lap time.
20:45:26
DRS 22.1
20:45:40
And tyre phase update, please.
20:46:42
This was a better lap compared to Norris. Carlos, 22.1.
20:46:49
Norris 22.6.
20:47:03
Switch position grey. Switch position grey.
20:48:05
This is better, Charles, compared to Norris. Carlos, 21.9. It's turn 13 and 14 where we need to improve.
20:48:25
Mode A-D please. Mode A-D.
20:49:25
And Norris struggling on tyres now. Slower than you. This is good. Carlos 21.9.
20:49:34
Norris boxed.
20:49:50
We need to keep Lyco, please. Keep the Lyco. It's important.
20:50:07
Box, Charles, box and flap update, please. OK.
20:50:23
And Lyco into 12, please.
20:50:41
Watch the white line.
20:50:49
Focus on the braking. Focus on the braking.
20:51:04
K2 off at turn one.
20:51:16
Straight away into Laico. Norris next car behind. Six seconds.
20:52:06
And Norris 4.9 now behind.
20:52:34
So now it's about optimising the stints.
20:52:53
Norris, lap time 21.0.
20:54:16
20.9, Norris, and we need to take care of the tyres and the high speed.
20:55:12
And driving-wise, only place to focus is to carry a bit more speed on the exit of 13 into 14. That's where we lose one tenth and a half, two tenths. Everywhere else is good.
20:56:39
Sainz 21.2. Norris 20.7. Thank you.
20:56:57
And it's still a long stint to the end. Many laps.
20:58:00
And easier into turn one for better Carlos 21.1.
20:59:21
And diff in plus one for better consistency.
21:00:43
This was a good lap. Carlos 20.6, Norris 20.8.
21:01:58
Diff mid plus one for better 5.6 from our point of view.
21:02:05
That was a poor 13.14.
21:03:27
Much better 13.14, like this.
21:04:40
And solar has dropped.
21:04:45
Rain or not? No rain. 20.21.0. Sainz?
21:05:01
And we lost a tenth in 13.40. Keep doing the right way.
21:06:00
This is a bit too fast in the high speed, but the lap times are good. 20.6, Sainz 20.9, Norris 20.4.
21:07:20
So, no more Lyco and we're gonna change mode soon. Some tiny drops in the pitlane, but no one expecting any rain more than this.
21:07:42
We can go mode TS. Mode TS.
21:09:03
So now 13.40 is better. 16 we're losing a bit apex speed. Try and turn in early and remove the brakes.
21:10:02
And brake balance plus one. Same lap time as Sainz, 20.5. Norris, 20.4.
21:11:26
Sainz 20.6, Norris 20.2.
21:11:46
Turn 13.14 was poor the previous lap. Focus on there.
21:12:45
Sainz 20.4. Norris 20.6.
21:13:05
Compared to Sainz, two tenths, 13.14 this time.
21:14:06
Sainz 20.7. Norris 20.4.
21:14:25
Easier entry. Turn 10 for better exit.
21:15:25
Sainz 20.8, Sainz 20.8, RS pushing point 20.6 now, RS pushing point 20.6 now.
21:16:44
Brake balance plus one for a bit too much rear locking. Carlos 20.7.
21:17:06
Norris 20.5, you did a 20.6.
21:18:05
20 laps to go. 2-0. And our baseline is still plan C.
21:18:13
Carlos, 20.8.
21:18:28
Carlos now trying to overtake back Marcus.
21:19:01
We need to control traction out of 12. Next corner. Easy.
21:19:27
Carlos 20.9. Norris 20.5.
21:20:06
Take care, still in high speed, 20 laps to go. You will feel some wake soon.
21:20:22
Let's do some lift-offs, little lift-offs in the wake for brakes.
21:20:47
Sainz 20.7 and now in 3rd. Norris 20.5.
21:21:43
Lawson on pressure medium, so be patient. Just do your driving.
21:22:08
And Sainz 20.7.
21:23:26
And mode AD to help you out. Carlos 20.3. Norris 20.4.
21:23:53
Solid blues for Lawson.
21:24:09
Still solid blues for Lawson.
21:24:48
What a joke. I know, he's been terrible. Now let's focus on getting into the rhythm. I am in the rhythm.
21:26:15
Great.
21:26:31
Solid blues for Stroll.
21:27:31
OK Charles, now let's keep it clean.
21:27:56
We need your best driving now. Let's go.
21:28:52
Norris, no DRS. Drive a default to delta zero one. Come on.
21:30:15
Norris, no DRS. Keep it up.
21:31:32
Norris with DRS. Use your energy.
21:32:49
You have energy.
21:32:58
Let's get back into it. Don't worry.
21:33:50
We need some Lyco for the brakes. Switch position, red.
21:34:20
It's about the fastest lap. Copy.
21:34:56
Norris still has to pass Gasly. Just get into your rhythm.
21:38:40
Solid blues for Gasly.
21:39:40
And reported some debris turn 12. Should be on the outside.
21:39:49
Yeah, I don't know what I've got.
21:40:01
I do. We're just trying to put you in the right place.
21:41:22
And box, Charles, box. For soft, we should come out one second ahead of Bottas.
21:41:42
I will add plus one degree if you agree.
21:42:07
Handbox, Charles Fox.
21:42:21
Focus on the brake.
21:42:34
Can K2 off out of the pit? Can K2 off out of the pit? Should be closed with Bottas.
21:42:47
Bottas alongside with you. Bottas alongside with you.
21:43:40
It will be sock one before start finish line.
21:43:47
40 is the best lap time.
21:43:53
19.5, but Perez is trying as well.
21:45:24
P3. And fastest lap.
21:45:39
Well done, Charles. The traffic cost us the P2. It was a good race overall.
21:45:54
Pick up, please.
21:46:22
And, Charles, we will stop in turn 13.
21:46:29
Where the podium ceremony is.
21:47:02
And you can stop at the P3 board.
21:47:17
And P0 when you stop.
21:47:44
P0, please.
