Lando Norris
15:54:37
I'm ready to check. I'm ready to check. Yeah, sorry, landing clear. Yeah, landing clear.
15:57:38
Lando, timing foul. Only one hard on today, Hulkenberg. Everybody else starts on the medium. And just a reminder, I expect to need the left-hand toggle in turn 4 and turn 6 in this A-switch position.
15:58:04
But I thought, because of the instability, we wanted the higher A switch, no? Correct. We want the higher A switch, but it will be too stable in turn 4 and turn 6, I think. So we use the left-hand toggle there.
15:58:19
Yeah.
15:59:49
30 seconds to go. Lando, correction, the corners will be turn 2 and turn 6, not turn 4. Turn 2 and turn 6. Yeah, I thought so. All good.
16:00:06
Ten seconds to go.
16:01:14
Okay, Lando, no full pedal from now. Try to keep speed high in the corners where you can.
16:01:30
And no braking through turn 12 to 14 if possible.
16:01:37
Launch feedback. You were target plus one. Timing was slightly late.
16:01:56
A big lift into turn 16 and also onto the grid if possible.
16:02:14
It'll be purple C6 position one before the burnouts. C6 position one.
16:03:36
Last car approaching the grid.
16:04:50
Lando, there's currently two cars, safety car, safety car. We'll be staying out, we'll stay out. This is with two cars off track, turn one.
16:05:07
And try and keep warming the tyres, keep the temperature in the tyres.
16:05:16
And minor. Purple C7 position one, please. Purple C7 position one.
16:05:48
Minor ACS button press, please.
16:07:13
There's a bit of a front brake temperature split, so some straight line hard braking.
16:07:35
I think both cars are being removed from the track at the moment.
16:09:15
What you're doing with the brakes is good. If you're happy, just keep this up. The track has now been declared clear.
16:11:15
Okay, the safety car is in this lap. Safety car is in this lap, so can I have an ACS button pressed, please?
16:11:23
Overtake button will be available. And a reminder, good view right up behind him.
16:11:40
And recharge off in good time.
16:12:03
Safety cars in turn 40.
16:12:10
Safety car in turn 50.
16:12:21
Safety car at 60.
16:14:23
Lando, we need to use the turn 9 apex curb a little bit less.
16:14:43
And DRS enabled.
16:15:46
Gap ahead 1.1. Gap behind 1.2. Minor. Purple default 9.8. Purple default 9.8.
16:16:08
And suggest left-hand toggle in turn six. Left-hand toggle, turn six.
16:17:36
Opportunity. Some pace through turn 12, turn 30.
16:18:39
Russell 1.0 but does not have DRS. Minor, purple default 1-1, purple default 1-1 and right-hand toggle turn 1.
16:20:06
And Lando suggests left-hand toggle turn 2. Left-hand toggle turn 2.
16:21:32
And Lando Minor, purple C2, position 10, please. Purple C2, position 10.
16:21:39
Pace is pretty quick at the minute.
16:22:58
Lando, the balance thrust is hard to read because it's difficult each lap. If you want help for anything, just ask.
16:24:23
And Lando, from what we can see, Verstappen's tyres, similar to ours, rustle behind slightly worse than ours.
16:25:49
And Lando, a bit of a picture behind. Hamilton, who's in P8, 12.1. Magnussen, 19.4. How are the tyres?
16:26:11
Yes, I mean, car balance is on edge everywhere really.
16:26:49
Rear, front. Front seems to be holding on okay at the minute.
16:27:16
And Lando, from our perspective, despite tricky balance, tyres look relatively stable.
16:28:41
Minor. White 8, 12, position 11. And the aircraft is 11.
16:29:02
What's strat? 11. Strat 11.
16:30:05
And I know the situation behind Perez who's in P7. 13.7. Hamilton 14.9.
16:31:30
And Lando Minor, white H3, position 14. White H3, position 14.
16:32:56
And Lando, tyre update. So far, tyres as per model. Yeah, I'm pretty flat out, so I feel like I'm killing them, but they seem okay.
16:34:22
And Lando, currently thinking plan A. Plan A and the full safety car window is open. Full safety car window. Got it. Thank you.
16:38:36
Hello. What? Yeah, go on. No, I've just got it safe. Nelson. Forget it.
16:38:58
Opportunity, just manage the turn in at turn seven to manage that snap.
16:40:01
Yeah, I'm struggling. No, it's tyres, I just don't know. The pace is fucking fast at the minute.
16:40:23
Understood. Russell was the car behind. He has pitted. He'll be the first car to pit.
16:40:40
He was seven seconds back, had a slow stop, no threat to us.
16:42:24
Suggest red A6. Red A6.
16:44:15
Lando, so gap to Perez is 22.4, Hamilton 24.8, Russell pitted and he's now stuck behind Alonso struggling to get past. It's difficult to tell what the undercut power is because he's stuck.
16:45:40
Lando, if the corrections in turn one are bothering you, could try right-hand throttle.
16:46:03
And Lando, we will have to follow the dash. We will have to follow the dash.
16:48:30
Lando, I'm pretty sure you're going to tell me where to go, but if you had any pace to get through... Speak louder, please. You'll tell me where to go, but if you had any pace...
16:48:41
If you had any pace to Verstappen, we'd take it. Push up to him.
16:49:27
Lando, both safety car windows are open. Please confirm. Confirmed.
16:49:53
Lando, there's a wing mirror in the middle of the track. If you stay to the left, you should be fine.
16:51:20
And manage front-end rotations turn 6. And we do need to follow the dash.
16:52:44
Lando, they said the track is clear, but we haven't seen if they've removed that wing mirror, so just keep an eye out for it.
16:55:34
Lando, we're going to box this lap. Two cars have had punctures. Stay off the kerbs.
16:55:41
Yeah, OK. Copy that.
16:55:58
And take it easy, turn 12, turn 13.
16:56:49
Box this lap. Box this lap. Save the car. Save the car.
16:57:22
Nordschleife, Nordschleife, Nordschleife.
16:57:44
I wasn't sure he was ahead. OK, we'll look at it now. Both Bottas and Hamilton are a lap down.
16:58:07
And strat 10. Strat 10.
16:59:24
So, Lando, the safety car is going to drive through the pitlane. The safety car is going to drive through the pitlane.
16:59:40
Follow the safety car through the pitlane.
16:59:46
And a reminder, pitlanes B limiter.
16:59:58
Where are the main places he's quicker or there's not an obvious place? I just am not quick enough comparing to them.
17:00:26
Lando, there's a little bit in turn 50, but generally they're just a little bit quicker.
17:00:45
So, Lando, they drove us through the pitlane such that they could clear that wing mirror. Two cars had punctures. That was Sainz and Hamilton. We think the safety car is out to force people to change tyres for that reason.
17:01:12
And ACS buttercups, please.
17:01:16
Yeah, I don't want to be fuel saving. Yeah, I'm just going to check that.
17:02:25
Do it in the pitlane again.
17:02:29
Yes, still for the pitlane. Apologies. Yes, still for the pitlane.
17:02:34
And another ACS button press and another pitlane speed limiter on, please.
17:02:44
Hamilton speeding 100%. He's brake tested me again. I locked both my fronts. Potential double flat spot.
17:03:03
Ok, we'll look at that now.
17:03:57
The safety car will now use the start and finish line.
17:04:16
No, sorry, Lando. Picture update for you then. So behind you is Leclerc, Oscar, Perez, Gasly, Russell and Sainz.
17:04:30
There are 19 laps to go after this one.
17:05:27
Focus on tyre temperature as I know you are, particularly in front.
17:05:41
And safety car is in this lap. Safety car is in this lap.
17:06:22
And Lando, just think about brake balance for the restart. The fronts are a little bit cold.
17:06:44
Early other switch will be recharge off.
17:07:09
Safeguard, just leaving a bit of D.
17:07:22
The safety car lights never went off. OK, safety car in pitlane.
17:07:29
You have to go, I mean, it's a decoded box.
17:08:37
There's yellow flags from 15 to 16. Perez is off track on the left-hand side. Virtual safety car, virtual safety car.
17:08:54
Yeah, okay. Just make sure you deal with it. I mean, the safety car lights never went off when you went...
17:09:04
And safety car is deployed. Safety car deployed. This is for Hulkenberg who's off at turn 10.
17:09:26
And ACF button press, please.
17:10:20
So there's double yellow flags in turn 10. That's Hulkenberg in the gravel.
17:12:45
And another safety car is in this lap. The safety car is in this lap.
17:13:15
The safety car has still got the lights on, I guess.
17:13:23
So, from the front of the safety car, they look off. Yeah, but they're flashing, it's on. I think we know what's on. I'm not saying you're wrong, just saying what we see. So, safety car is approaching turn 16 now.
17:13:42
Safety car in pitlane.
17:15:52
DRS enabled.
17:17:48
Lando, we have been given a 10 second stop-go penalty, which we will take this lap.
17:18:06
So, Lando, we have to box this lap. We have to box this lap.
17:18:16
Launch map on in the pitlane. Watch for the light. For what? Failing slow under the yellow flag.
17:18:32
Launch map on.
17:18:43
Launch map off. Launch map off.
17:20:13
Strat 11. Strat 11. I can't hear you. Strat 11.
17:22:57
Okay, Lando, Lawson is the car ahead. Seven seconds. He did a 26.3.
17:24:21
ACS passing plus.
17:30:22
Next up is Magnussen. Gap 10. He did a 24.4.
17:32:48
Strat 10. Strat 10. Can't hear you, mate. Strat 10. That's better.
17:33:08
And we had one strike. You'll know what it was.
17:34:06
This is the last lap. Strat 9. Strat 9.
17:35:34
And leave recharge off. White H11 position 12. White H11 position 12.
