Radio check.

Yeah, coming.

Five minutes to formation lap.

So, three minutes to formation lap.

So, tyre-wise, everyone is on medium tyres except for P18 Hulkenberg. Ferraris are starting on scrubbed medium tyres.

Two minutes.

Seventy-five seconds. Fire up.

One minute.

Forty-five seconds.

By 2.5, 25 seconds.

Fifteen seconds.

Five.

Glacier was on target.

Keep working those tyres.

So, no full load. 15.

And then coasting from turn 16, entry.

I have five burnouts starting at the control line. Tighter spacing. Final one at P7. Sainz.

I see Strat 5.

Last car approaching the back of the grid.

Gap ahead of Norris. 1.3. Safety car, safety car. Delta positive. Strat 1. We're staying out. Staying out. So this is exit of turn 1.

I've got two cars in the gravel. So keep working on tyres.

Just keep your eyes out for any debris. Hulkenberg continued. He had a puncture.

And green 11, position 3. Green 11, position 3.

And green 12, position 3. Green 12, position 3.

No transcript available

And, George, can we also have green three position three? Green three position three.

Brake magic is available as well, George. Front brake is still quite hot.

We think you've got scope still on those front brakes.

We think the incident has been cleared. Don't expect it to be too much longer.

So we've got safety car in this lap. Green at the 12, position 1.

So, Max controlling the pace now.

Safety car, turn 40.

I'm happy with that. Strat mode. Safety car. Turn 15.

Safety car 16.

Gap ahead of DRS 1.1.

Gap 0.5.

DRS enabled.

Gap ahead of NORIS 1.4.

Problems.

Recommend Strat 12.

Yeah, copy that on the front, George. Let's see what we can do with tools for now.

Piastri behind will have DRS.

Gap ahead of Norris, two seconds.

Are you going for a DRS? Are you going for a DRS? That's true, it has DRS.

Tyres starting to stabilize now, George.

We actually will have DRS.

The pace globally has been very high. Yeah, we agree. They're very fast at the moment.

The F3 will have DRS.

Piastri will have DRS.

Big vibration brakes.

No transcript available

Piastri doesn't have DRS.

George, give me feedback on tyres, please. I'm under balance by 0.5 DRS. I need 0.6. Copy.

Put the holding on.

Turn 9. We'll go flat at some point. Not this stint, I don't think.

Piastri doesn't have DRS.

We'll get you some feedback.

So, wind looks similar to laps to grid and I recommend EB3.

No transcript available

He actually will have DRS.

Never know how much he's gaining with DRS.

Not possible.

So Piastri finding about point four.

Piastri will have DRS.

Yes, he will have DRS.

So, George, recommend diff entry 5. We're seeing quite a lot of mid-support at the moment looking into it.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

Balance at low speed is okay. It's just the high speed turn 2, 4, 5 is pushing out.

So, George, I recommend negative diff magic for the high speed to help there. Still top of P5.

Where's the main lap time lost? We're going ahead.

Turn 10, turn 16. Main losses are ahead.

Wind rotated, tailwind turn 2.

And green 9, position 5. Green 9, position 5.

And that will be more deployment at turn 9.

So, currently target plus three.

Piastri will have DRS.

Gap in the priories.

Leclerc at three seconds.

No transcript available

Plus point six. Not big. Think about that, plus two.

Piastri will have DRS.

There's still a target plus three. Perfect. Box, box.

So, box, box.

Overtake available on exit.

So, Rita AB, racing on exit.

So, we've got Sainz right on our window at the moment. He's doing 25.3. 1,000m.

Minus point two.

So Sainz still doing that minus point two on your delta.

George, there is more scope on diff entry to come down if you need rotation.

The car has just not turned.

Blue 4, position 7. Blue 4, position 7.

George, there's a wing mirror in the middle of the pit exit, so just to the right of the pit exit line.

And that wing mirror is still on the main straight.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

Okay, a bit more open now.

I've got a lot of air in my ass and I'm gone. It looks like the mirror has now been moved and the diff is now far more open. So happy for you to close it as you see fit.

Clear the runway. Alert entry of turn 2 now.

Yes, A firm. That will be diff entry.

Yeah, it's too much now. Where do I need to return to?

So, mid three, entry seven.

Right, whatever we've done here, everyone knows to finish, you know.

Yeah, understood, so just keep coming up on diff entry, diff mid and high speed.

Early push available.

So Lewis, exit of 6, has a puncture.

And also, got Sainz has a puncture, front left puncture.

Alonso will have DRS. Keep hard left at the end of the straight. That's where the debris is.

Safety car, safety car. Delta positive. Staying out at strat 1. Do we want to stay on these tyres? If it would shite. Compared to the mediums.

Yeah, we're just discussing, mate. Leave that with me.

And George, what balance adjust would you go? For another 0.6.

It would be a one position currently. One position lost currently. Just keep close on the delta, still discussing it. If it's only one position, we go for it. And we've lost a position to the guys ahead anyway. Box, box, box, box. So keep on top of that delta and we'll get you the fuck out.

So it could be closed for Sainz on exit.

Box, box. Close with Sainz on exit.

Lewis Sainz just over safety car one line now.

Why have we put hards on? Why have we put the fucking hards back on? They're shit!

So back to Strat 1.

Green 12, position 4.

Just try and build temp the way you can, please.

So it'll be safety car coming through the pitlane here. Safety car coming through the pitlane. Keep on top of that delta.

Keep on top of the delta, still coming through the pitlane.

Brake magic available.

No transcript available

So through the pitlane, stay in the fast lane.

Well, that's a safety car.

Safety car currently turn 9.

They've done a good job on tyres here so far.

Safety car, turn 15 for the queue at 13.

Press the clutch up.

Safety cars still coming through the pitlane, so follow the cars ahead through the pitlane, staying in the fast lane.

Currently in P7.

Ron, can I have a take after the pit limiter line? Before SC2 line?

Don't hit the safety car. Copy.

So lapped cars can now overtake. That's Lewis and Valtteri.

This vibration is returning what I had in Qualy.

Sorry, just give me the proper race picture. These guys, I guess, have pitted, right? Yes, AFM.

Yeah, a lot of these cars that had the game position on the safety car stopped.

So, safety car will use the start finish straight this lap.

Green 12, position 1.

Once this safety car does enter, just think about attacking front surfaces.

So safety car is in this lap. There will be 18 laps remaining when you cross the line.

Avion, around you on hard tyres.

Verstappen control of the pace. Safety car now. Turn 14.

Safety car, turn 50.

Safety car, turn 16. Safety car, in.

VSC, VSC, staying out. Delta positive. Strat 1. We've got car stop between, er, Perez stop between turn 15 and turn 16.

And we've got Hulkenberg in the gravel at turn 10. Keep working those tyres.

This has gone to safety car. So staying out, staying out.

Green 12, position 3.

Good job at the restart there, mate.

George, do you have any feedback on this set of tyres? Feels the same.

So we've got Norris under investigation for failing to slow under yellow flags.

It's a safety car in this lap. Green 12, position 1. There will be 15 laps remaining.

So the key here will be to attack front surfaces.

So, Max is controlling the pace. Safety car 10-13.

Safety car 14. We can go strat 5.

Turn 15 for the safety car.

Safety car, turn 16.

Safety car in.

Piastri reporting potential front left puncture.

Strat 30 available.

DRS enabled.

Sir Norris has a 10 second stop-go penalty.

And negative diff magic could help turn 4-5.

So that's Norris in the pitlane to serve his penalty. I rode 7kms in Bercy yesterday.

Gap ahead of Piastri, 1.4.

Tyres are stabilising now.

I recommend diff mid 4.

Straight limits.

Same again, understeer 10.

Nine laps remaining.

Exit 5. Exit 6.

Yeah, I see him kicking up gravel.

Turn 14, turn 15, minimum speed, other main losses.

Seven laps remaining.

Window blank.

No transcript available

No changes to tailwind into 2.

Four laps remaining.

Two laps remaining.

And I can see the markers.

Yeah, I'm not sure. It must be some kind of a race.

And one more lap. Strat 13.

And overtake exit 10, exit 16.

Submit green at 1, position 12, and Strat 14.

Turn brace, not too sure where the pace went compared to yesterday. Decent recovery. Yeah, copy that. Tough afternoon in the office.

And just to add to the afternoon, I've been given a five second penalty for safety car infringement. Who have we? Yes, you have. It doesn't change the result. What was the infringement?

It's following the delta. We can go through it when you get back.

Follow him with delta. OK.

Overall, George, there's so much to analyse. Collectively. Absolutely. It was moments of brilliance from our side.

Just have a look at the data from the brakes as I was just pulling up here. Got that warp in it again. Yeah, copy that, Mildred.
