Nico Hulkenberg
10:26:13
It doesn't really make sense to go out now here. Yeah, understood. We'll talk it through.
10:26:25
So switch off for now, Nico. I could just push it back in and see, you know, even some TV, see what it looks like when the others go out. I'm not sure in terms of if it's runnable. Obviously they start the session, but that doesn't mean there is no aquaplaning, maybe. Yeah, copy that.
10:27:18
OK, three minutes till we go, Nico.
10:27:30
Also, I think anyway with the full wet we have the softer upshift settings, right? Yeah, the softer upshifts are automatically deployed when we're on wet tyres, once we get out of GX1.
10:28:16
In terms of car balance, Nico, we're two and a half percent below SQ, but obviously we can go up or down. This is the level where we've been running on wets and inters in the past, this year. Copy.
10:28:39
And also maybe for Ed, I don't know if you have capacity, but you know, to check other onboards, especially usually Max, you know, he's pretty quick at figuring out the line.
10:31:51
Albon, the first pushing car, says it's not inters. So he's pushing on the wet. He's going into turn 1 now.
10:32:01
GX4, GX4. Albon in turn 2.
10:32:09
Albon coming now on a push lap. Albon 4. Albon 3. Watch for Albon. Albon 2. Albon 1. Here's Albon now.
10:32:26
Strat mode push. Next pushing is Norris, six behind. It's a double yellow in 12 exit. Lawson's gone off 12 exit. Norris still coming behind. Norris six behind. Piastri is the car behind you. He's on an outlap like you. Norris pushing five behind. Still double yellow in 12 for Lawson.
10:32:48
Norris still coming five behind, still double yellow in 12.
10:32:54
Yellow 11.12, but Lawson is moving. Norris still four behind. Track is clear. Norris still five behind.
10:33:53
Turn 14 is the only place we see aquaplaning.
10:34:42
Norris is three behind. I don't know what his status is. Captain Norris is three behind. It's yellow, eleven, twelve, thirteen. Should clear. Track clear. Norris two behind. Verstappen five behind.
10:35:32
B-C4, B-C4. Yellow turn 4, Stroll went wide.
10:35:38
Still yellow turn 4. Track clear.
10:37:07
Bottas is on the inter, no update yet.
10:37:19
No way, it threw me. Yeah, he went off. He went off, he's slow ahead.
10:37:27
The aerobalance is very high in high speed.
10:37:32
Yeah, copy that. We'll drop when we go to the next tyre.
10:37:39
Update on lines, where are people?
10:37:44
Yeah, we'll update.
10:38:06
Most cars are on the dry line.
10:38:54
More rain coming. You're currently P10.
10:39:00
Just like turn 67 and up the straight I can't turn, it's like so much front. Understood. Watch for Hamilton 2 behind, after him is a gap to Piastri. Hamilton I think is on a push.
10:39:29
Red flag, red flag. Box now, Nico, box now.
10:39:48
OK, Nico, so a box. Colapinto is off and crashed in 3. There's 8 minutes 50 remaining.
10:40:58
Yes, with high speed, I don't know, I want to take off like 2% aerobalance.
10:44:24
OK, Nico, so obviously the rain's increased. It's three minutes till the session restarts. But, yeah, just be ready here.
10:44:38
So switch off for now, Nico. I'll tell you when to spire up. It's two and a half minutes.
10:44:46
And you can go B-C-7, B-C-7.
10:45:16
OK. Two minutes, Nico. Two minutes.
10:46:18
Okay, that's one minute, Nico, and we can fire up, please, fire up.
10:46:35
Obviously, it's raining a lot here and there could be more intensity around the track, so just be aware. 30 seconds, Nico, 30 seconds.
10:46:54
Nico, can you move forward a little bit? We're trying to get the other car out of the queue, I think.
10:47:05
Ten seconds, Nico, ten seconds.
10:47:20
OK, it should be green.
10:47:50
Okay, we can go mode push because we're in SOC 6. Norris four ahead, Lawson four behind.
10:48:35
How much time left in this session? Seven and a half minutes remain. And then I don't know what's going to happen with the rain. Norris five ahead, Lawson five behind. And obviously lots of cars coming out of pitlane still.
10:48:53
It's not quicker for the moment now.
10:48:59
Understood, Nico. We should be able to do a round five-timed with a back-off lap somewhere in there.
10:50:42
Not so bad actually.
10:51:04
Copy that. Light rain for the rest of the session. Three more timed after this, roughly.
10:51:30
Why do I feel that the rears are already overheating? Temperature-wise, they're not. I don't know why I see the balance. I guess maybe you can play with diff.
10:51:43
Right toggle turn 4 is available too.
10:52:07
Be C4 when you can. Be C4. I am already.
10:53:43
Next is Lawson behind and then Norris. Watch for Lawson now.
10:53:49
Two more timed, Nico. Two minutes 20 remaining. I'm just...
10:54:18
Why am I losing the rear so much?
10:55:16
Sock one. There'll be one more timed.
10:55:25
BC1, BC1.
10:57:02
Fantastic. Checker flag. Absolutely brilliant. What the fuck just happened there, man?
10:57:12
I think our understanding of what the tyres needed is wrong, Nico.
10:57:29
Olly was P17, you're P19. Sorry about that, Nico. We just didn't get the tyre usage right, I think.
