02:55:44
Okay, so just for lap one I'm going to go entry 8. But give me a reminder at the end of lap one to crank it back up. Affirmative.
02:57:10
Three minutes to formation lap.
02:57:21
So, tyre-wise, everyone is on medium tyre. Presumably used, everybody? Affirm.
02:58:55
75 seconds. Fire up. Pit limiter on.
02:59:25
Forty-five seconds.
02:59:45
Byte point find. 25 seconds.
02:59:55
Fifteen seconds.
03:00:45
Clutch was 2% shallow.
03:00:56
B-Bal offset plus one hundred.
03:01:35
So, keep working those tyres. Doing a good job so far. Just a reminder, 1-0-8 on water temp.
03:02:09
And we will be coasting from turn 14.
03:02:29
So, three burnouts, starting at the control line. Final burnout will be P12, Bearman.
03:03:02
And we'll be strat 5.
03:03:34
Last car approaching back of the grid.
03:05:00
Tsunoda at point 8.
03:05:32
Good skills mate, sir. Provide a diff entry and E-B available.
03:05:55
Strat 13 available.
03:06:07
Leclerc at point 8.
03:06:25
Leclerc 0.8 DRS enabled.
03:06:40
Work for one second. We'll have DRS.
03:07:08
Berg 0.8 will have DRS.
03:08:15
Gap 1.3. Leclerc doesn't have the RS.
03:08:24
Should have been already understeer.
03:09:08
Fuck, I've overrun it.
03:09:19
Copy that. Leclerc 1.2.
03:09:37
So we're seeing graining on Norris already. Gap 1.2.
03:09:56
Gap 1.2 doesn't have DRS.
03:10:42
So you are currently doing the same management as Leclerc in 7. Less management than Piastri though.
03:10:55
Can I push rears more, do you think? This front is just going to drop.
03:11:14
Yeah, happy to push the rears a bit more.
03:11:31
So, rears are coming out the top of the window, so we just don't want to go crazy on those.
03:11:56
So that lap looked much better at turn 7.
03:12:19
Strat 12 available if you require that.
03:13:56
So our tyres look similar condition to those around us. Norris struggling front left graining.
03:14:09
I'm going to be so happy for turn one management.
03:14:17
No transcript available
03:14:27
We are currently happy where we are.
03:14:44
Front surfaces are in a good window. Looks like Piastri's starting to pick up the pace a bit this lap.
03:15:09
So this last lap, Piastri was picking it up at turn 1 and turn 7. Yeah, let me display. Yeah, you can.
03:17:41
Co-position is DRS is deeply braked.
03:17:55
So, green 3, position 3. Green 3, position 3. Norris' P9 is really struggling with his front left, so not making any progress.
03:18:24
Is that okay to push in the last corner for tyres?
03:18:47
A-firm. Happy to push final corner.
03:19:34
Verstappen pushed for a lap or two behind Lewis. Now he's dropped off into DRS with Piastri.
03:20:00
Just keep eyes open for debris on main straight.
03:20:04
OK, I think it's off the grass.
03:22:08
I don't have the confidence in the front left to push any more in 1. Yeah, copy. Others dropping the same rates as you, so it doesn't look bad.
03:22:49
Green 8, position 3. Green 8, position 3.
03:23:15
Yeah, George, if anything, front surfaces are at the bottom of the window here.
03:23:34
I went a bit quicker that lap, I think it's too much.
03:23:39
Your front left is looking better than the leaders.
03:23:50
Pull out of the way.
03:24:53
So, Verstappen at greening on front left.
03:25:29
Verstappen reporting both of his fronts are dead.
03:26:56
So, five laps remaining.
03:27:08
I feel like I'm losing a lot to Charles at one, but his understeer is just horrendous.
03:27:26
Yeah, AFM, all the loss is turn one to Leclerc and then seven.
03:28:09
So Verstappen now, car ahead. Front and rear surfaces are below the window for a lot of turn 1.
03:29:20
Gap 1.5. Doesn't have DRS.
03:29:49
Three laps remaining.
03:30:58
Yeah, 1.1 will have DRS.
03:31:26
Leclerc will have DRS 0.62 laps remaining.
03:31:50
Leclerc, point five.
03:32:37
Gap 1.1. Will have DRS.
03:33:04
Flaps 0.7. We'll have DRS one more lap.
03:33:16
Early overtake exit three.
03:33:59
Gap 0.7. Early overtake exit 13.
03:34:15
Gap one second. We'll have DRS.
03:34:46
Nice job there, mate. Good work. So, P4.
03:34:55
Green three, position one.
03:35:02
Yeah, well done. Not an easy race. I think we could have got P3 there if Charles wasn't so good at the end. Not bad. Yeah, how do you feel?
03:35:14
That was well managed from your side. Good job.
03:35:22
Just pick up a rubber where we can.
03:35:50
And there's some debris on track around exit turn 14. Apex to exit turn 14.
03:37:17
So just keep your eye out for that debris. Turn 14.
03:37:27
It's coming into the pitlane.
