02:57:42
OK Alex, two and a half minutes. Formation up, tyres, no surprises, all on used medium.
02:58:26
Happy with the plateau on those drops.
03:00:06
That's a five. Let's go four.
03:00:56
We'll have to have the PU call exit 10 to be able to push exit 13.
03:02:24
Clutch drop was off target.
03:02:29
We're happy with the target.
03:02:40
No burn, hold the button. Three burnouts, three burnouts.
03:02:50
Before you stop, press left button on and pull toggle on.
03:05:06
Overtake available. Erase when you can.
03:07:36
H-Gate managing at 1.2 now. Thumbtemps still coming in.
03:08:24
Gap behind at 0.6. I'm happy with it. Go mode 11 just to get to the top of the pack.
03:10:28
I'd like to increase the management short term at turn 8. Turn 8. Maintain at 1 and 2.
03:11:39
Tower, reports from others on start of graining. Stowage shift change, green 10, position 5. Green 10, position 5.
03:12:06
Full throttle available for set now.
03:13:14
Overtake is available.
03:13:43
Same again, I'll overtake if you need me.
03:14:07
Tyre temperature stabilised and update on tyre menu. On tyre switch.
03:14:14
What difference does it make that we just focus on the racing? Tyres are good. How's the front view? OK.
03:15:21
Twelve laps to go. We're deploying at the last corner.
03:15:50
Deployment is very consistent.
03:15:56
Floor it, it's consistent. It's consistent, no.
03:16:15
Unlikely related to the overtake pressures, but at the last corner we're looking at 10.
03:19:51
Norris, two places ahead of us now. 4 green, you're up.
03:20:15
Nine laps to go. Looks better than some of the others.
03:21:54
Right, eight to go.
03:23:05
Just coming down on entry, mate.
03:23:31
OK, seven laps to go. You're doing a good job with tyres. It's good night for that front left. Carlos has to pit for another medium.
03:24:47
Any signs of the gradient clearing from other cars?
03:25:11
The other car tried to clean it up but no success. Six laps to go.
03:26:25
If you curl your head straight now, it's going to be the last few laps where it's going to change position, I suspect. Just try and keep these flaps as long as you can. Manage your gap ahead and so on.
03:26:50
Need to come down another on entry and mid.
03:27:26
I need to push more in lap time, please.
03:28:30
I have already put you in, and I've done this.
03:28:54
There's four laps to go. Alonso's struggling a lot more now.
03:29:42
Luke, I need diff opening at turn 12.
03:29:58
Let's just go all in. Do the high speed, opening everything.
03:30:34
Differential 14.4.
03:30:45
Find speed at 11, find speed at 11.
03:31:26
Switch to zero. Cross the line, there'll be two more laps.
03:31:51
Go mode 9. Mode 9. Two laps to go.
03:33:32
Starting the last lap, Gasly 1.3 behind him.
03:34:06
Exit 13, you're good for a push and hold.
03:34:42
Push and hold all the straight. Exit last two corners as well. Push and hold all of the straight.
03:35:27
No switch to go in. T11.
03:36:14
Alright, so it's contact turn 40 in the last lap, so it's every middle of the track.
03:37:02
How are you feeling? Are you good jumping out? Yeah, I'm okay, yeah.
03:37:22
Watch that debris around you, middle of the corner.
