Four minutes. Four minutes.
15:57:17
Three minutes to go. Three minutes.
15:57:40
Okay Valtteri, so everybody is on the medium apart from Hulkenberg in P18 on a hard?
15:58:00
And the cars immediately around you are on new. Stroll P15 unused.
15:58:11
And I think that's just scrubbed set.
15:58:17
Two minutes to go. Two minutes.
15:58:55
One minute, twenty seconds.
15:59:16
One minute to go. One minute.
15:59:45
30 seconds.
16:00:01
Fifteen seconds.
16:00:11
Five seconds. Good luck.
16:01:07
Do your best to work on your tyres.
16:01:37
And that was target minus one.
16:02:21
And let's go for five burnouts as discussed.
16:02:30
Good job on your tyres, Valtteri.
16:04:18
End mode ATTACK.
16:04:51
And safety car, safety car.
16:04:58
And good job there, Valtteri. Which place am I? Currently P12. Ok, good. Yeah, good job.
16:05:13
At a full set. Yeah, that's what we wanted.
16:05:23
And did you make any contact? Yeah, there was a couple of touches, but I don't think with the wing. It was more with the tyres. Yeah, tyres look okay so far.
16:05:35
And we are staying out.
16:05:59
Do your best to keep temperature in the tyres.
16:06:07
So you have Gasly and Magnussen in front of you. And then Tsunoda, Hamilton and Alonso is in P8.
16:06:18
Behind you is Lawson and then Zhou.
16:06:29
And we are actually P13, after everything got settled to P13. Okay.
16:07:13
And that is Ocon and Colapinto out of the race in turn 1.
16:07:21
And then Stroll and Hulkenberg both stopped. They are on hard.
16:09:13
And this could be the last lap. Keep working on your tyres.
16:09:18
And we are currently on plan B. Copy.
16:10:03
And the safety car is staying out.
16:11:16
And the safety car will be in this lap.
16:11:24
And it will be mode F for the restart.
16:11:47
And you can keep mode F until turn 10 and then switch to mode attack.
16:12:05
And Verstappen is bunching up the cars in turn 13.
16:13:34
Had to go off the track there to avoid loss of spinning.
16:14:20
An overtake is available.
16:15:55
And currently P14. Car behind is Albon, car in front is Zhou, and we are back on plan A.
16:16:57
And pedal position 5 and high speed 11.
16:17:31
And high speed at 11.
16:19:17
And you can increase minimum speed in turn 4, where you are.
16:19:55
And sock six.
16:20:21
And we would like a bit more management in turn 12 only.
16:21:21
Pedal position four and entry minus one.
16:22:50
Mode race.
16:23:20
And Magnussen in P9 is leading this mini-train.
16:24:45
And you're doing a good job on tyres. Main losses to Zhou are turn 1 and turn 4 minimum speed.
16:25:08
Magnussen in P9 is managing, but less than you.
16:27:14
And Tsunoda might have problems. He's in front of Zhou.
16:28:59
End mode ATTACK.
16:30:39
Zhou, lap time 27.0. Yeah, it's like I'm stuck here. I'm trying.
16:31:00
Brake balance minus two.
16:31:53
And only two more laps in Moto Tech.
16:32:07
If you're not close enough, let's go back to mode race.
16:33:23
Overtake available.
16:34:49
Overtake is available.
16:35:22
Good job there Valtteri.
16:35:58
Entry plus one.
16:36:24
It looks like the hard has a lot of warm-up, so low undercut power. Both cars on the same plan now.
16:37:24
And multi-B-E-R-S position 12.
16:37:52
I'm losing one tenth to Zhou in turn 4. We can use less peak pressure and more apex speed.
16:38:51
And pedal position 3.
16:39:22
Show lap time 26.4.
16:40:18
And you can push now.
16:40:44
Pedal position 4 and update on flap.
16:40:53
Flap is OK.
16:41:09
And full push this lap.
16:41:58
And box, Valtteri, box.
16:42:02
Copied.
16:42:46
And target stage one management until attempts are stable.
16:43:38
And pedal position 5 and high speed 14.
16:46:33
And you can push more for tyres. Magnussen in the pitlane.
16:47:42
Single blue to Verstappen and two seconds behind is Norris.
16:48:01
And blue flags to Verstappen. High speed 11.
16:48:21
And blue flags to Norris.
16:48:30
And you can push more on tyres.
16:48:55
Target lap time 26.3.
16:50:22
And focus mid-corner, turn 4.
16:51:25
And Magnussen lap time, second lap on hard 25.6. Let's target 26.0 or faster.
16:52:37
Hulkenberg is in the pitlane. We'll be tight with him.
16:52:43
You can use overtake.
16:53:13
Hulkenberg will have warm-up. You can push more on tyres.
16:55:19
And you can push more in 12 and 13. Use the kerb if you need in front.
16:55:52
And stay on the racing line on the main straight. There's debris.
16:56:51
Safety car. Safety car.
16:57:16
And stay out.
16:58:58
Don't let me know when I can overtake.
16:59:13
Why is the safety car actually? What for? I'm not sure actually. I think it might have been for the debris. And I think so, yeah. We're asking to be going through the pitlane now.
16:59:28
Copy. And through the pitlane, through the pitlane.
16:59:46
And Valtteri Box, we will change to medium.
17:00:28
Driver default, delta.
17:00:33
Delta 5-3.
17:01:20
And work on your tyres.
17:02:21
Follow the safety car through the pitlane. We'll be 20 laps to go after we cross the start-finish line.
17:02:43
And it looks like everybody fit new tyres.
17:02:48
Alonso and Hulkenberg are also on medium.
17:02:59
And Albon is on soft.
17:03:17
And you can use brake warming.
17:03:35
And do your best on tyre temperature.
17:03:40
Yeah, I'll get some temp when I get to pass the safety car. Yep, understood.
17:03:51
Yeah, I've got the green light, so I guess I go. Yes, Akram, you can pass.
17:04:25
You can go mode SC plus.
17:04:33
Now I will use the motorway. I will make sure I catch you. Yeah, makes sense.
17:05:44
And the safety car will be in this lap. It's currently in turn 3.
17:06:39
Safety car in turn 10. Keep pushing.
17:07:35
And sock six.
17:07:45
Good job there.
17:08:43
And VSC, VSC.
17:08:57
So we have Perez stopped before the last corner. And that was Hulkenberg going off before turn 10. Safety car.
17:09:29
And stay out.
17:10:14
And Tsunoda and Lawson stopped for soft.
17:10:26
And still 16 laps remaining. Next time we pass, we think that's too far for the soft.
17:11:31
And Valtteri, we're currently P13. Hamilton in front on hard and then Albon on soft. Then Magnussen and Zhou also on hard.
17:11:46
I expect our tyres will be the best for the remaining laps. Yep. Do your best to keep the temps up.
17:12:16
And let's go exit position 7.
17:12:31
In high-speed position 12. Safety car will be in this lap.
17:12:42
And sock seven.
17:12:47
It will be mode F for the restart.
17:12:58
And we'll be 15 laps remaining.
17:13:26
Verstappen bunching up in 14.
17:13:38
Press the oil button.
17:15:22
Overtake is available.
17:16:02
And stock 8.
17:17:00
And back to Sox 7.
17:17:25
Losing to Magnussen in 9 and 13. We can push more there for tyres.
17:18:29
And high speed position 14.
17:18:34
And push more in the high speed if you can. 13.14.
17:18:57
This tyre was a mistake. It's not working.
17:19:10
Understood. The guys behind on the soft are struggling more than you.
17:20:20
And focus mid-corner at turn 4. Easier entry.
17:20:33
The front left is going.
17:20:55
And back to high speed 11.
17:22:20
E-B7, currently P11, Hamilton stopped.
17:22:38
Car in front Magnussen and in front of him Albon on soft.
17:22:50
Nine laps remaining.
17:24:12
Eight laps remaining. And behind the racing bulls is Norris. Norris is on the same lap as us.
17:24:50
He's tired, that's not his fault.
17:24:55
Norris is on hard.
17:26:03
And you can go mode attack.
17:26:52
Overtake available.
17:28:19
And one more overtake available.
17:29:13
Fighting Norris for P10.
17:30:39
And sock seven.
17:31:24
And three laps remaining.
17:34:16
And final lap, SOC 3.
17:35:45
And that's the chequered flag, Valtteri. Mode end.
17:36:24
I haven't seen the replay. I'm not sure.
17:36:52
Alexander, for Valtteri, we scored a point with Zhou, but thanks to you we'll be working as a team today. Thank you, Valtteri. This is a reward for everybody. It's not a point for the drivers only, it's a point for the team and you also. Thank you, Valtteri. Thank you. Well done.
17:37:57
And reminder, full switch-off procedure.
