Oscar, radio check and drifts.
13:54:25
Yep, radio check and drinks are good.
13:54:30
Excellent. That's loud and clear.
13:57:33
Oscar, time info, easy one. All the cars on medium. New medium starters are only Gasly and Lowson. Have a good race.
14:00:27
There's going to be a lift into turn 4.
14:00:49
And there will be another left into turn 6. No more full load after turn 6.
14:01:13
Clutch drop was 2% deep.
14:01:31
And there'll be another lift in turn 12.
14:01:43
And another left as you approach the back of the grid.
14:01:56
Confirming it will be three short burnouts. Three short burnouts as per plan.
14:02:05
White, H14 position 1. H14, 1.
14:02:16
Correction, two normal burnouts from P17. Two normal burnouts.
14:02:39
Soska brake balance remanded for the start and it will be blue mode one before turn four. Blue mode one.
14:03:14
The last cars are forming up now.
14:04:36
Good start, tyre management already looking good. Cars have gone off in order.
14:05:54
He has a 1.7 second gap behind him to Leclerc.
14:07:22
Strat 5. Strat 5.
14:07:33
Opportunity turn 9. Focus on exit.
14:09:23
9.8. Mine front under rotation is turn 1. Top left toggle available there.
14:09:45
I'm lost in final corner. It's a bit more tailwind. It's light but gusty.
14:10:59
Be careful, we're combining too much, turn one.
14:11:09
Turn one was more tailwind. As I said, the wind's gusty.
14:11:55
It feels okay coming back since I struggled a little bit.
14:13:22
White H12, position 3. H12, 3.
14:15:25
Red mid 5, silver entry 6. Lando 1.1.
14:15:46
Managing pace with the car behind to turn 11 is a good opportunity that will help the tyres.
14:16:37
Gap to Lando 1.1. We want to get him in DRS through management turn 11.
14:18:11
Apple C7, position 7. Apple C7, 7.
14:19:02
Gap Lando to Leclerc is 1.2.
14:19:10
If we can stretch that gap, Oscar.
14:19:24
White H6, position 8.
14:20:21
Back in Lando's DRS now.
14:20:38
ACS button. ACS.
14:20:50
10 laps, including this one. 10 laps, including this one.
14:22:42
Okay, so the gap to Leclerc is 1.3. Obviously, if Lando attacks, do not make it too difficult. At the moment, we are happy. We want to try and pull the gap to Leclerc.
14:25:04
Okay, Verstappen has passed Leclerc. Verstappen has passed Leclerc. Six laps to go now. Verstappen, we believe, is faster than Leclerc.
14:28:11
Oscar Hulkenberg has swapped in turn 10.
14:28:24
Double yellows, double yellows.
14:28:37
Oscar, if possible, swap position with Lando. No, Hulkenberg, get going. Do not swap position. Do not swap position.
14:28:55
Oscar, swap position, turn 4. Verstappen is 1.2 behind Lando. That could be a safety car. Swap position, turn 4.
14:29:08
Three laps including this one.
14:29:16
Thanks, mate. Verstappen 1.2. Dirty air, more tyre management.
14:29:34
Still double yellows.
14:29:59
VSC, Oscar, VSC. Delta positive. And you can go strat 4. Stay out.
14:30:09
There are two laps to go.
14:30:17
For the restart, suggest strat 9. Strat 9.
14:30:38
Hulkenberg's car still stationary on the inside turn 10.
14:31:04
Still double yellows here. Hulkenberg's car still stationary on the side of the track.
14:32:09
BSC ending. Recharge off. Recharge off. Check your delta.
14:32:17
This is the last lap.
14:33:08
Start from point nine.
14:33:19
Well done, Oscar. Great job and massive support to the team as well. So, big fan of your work today. Really good.
14:33:29
Sub Recharge on.
14:33:34
Yeah, well done everyone. Good day for the team and, yeah, I think we've got a bit of pace to find, but well done everyone.
14:34:44
Okay Oscar, so you're staying out. Stay out. Boards are on the start-finish straight, just after the gantry to Barcarich, if you can give me a wake.
14:35:08
And remember to switch the car fully off. Switch the car fully off. So kill the engine, wait five seconds and then fully off.
