06:57:57

And down hard right.

06:58:00

Yes, on HUD.

06:58:16

A reminder, we need a good cool down into turn 40.

06:58:44

OK, to fire up.

06:58:55

Reminder will be mode formation, bite point, clutch test, two reds, K2 on, heater limiter on.

06:59:54

Fifteen seconds.

07:00:04

Five seconds.

07:01:52

We confirm same wind and track five degrees cooler than laps to grid.

07:02:11

Will be three burnouts.

07:03:34

And last car on the grid.

07:04:36

K-12.

07:05:01

How many points lost? We'll give you a feedback. We need points lost.

07:05:51

DRS enabled.

07:06:38

Verstappen, 0.8 behind. We have 20 to 30 points loss on the front. If we can survive, we wait the first stop.

07:08:21

Verstappen 1.2 behind with DRS.

07:09:07

Diff made, minus one.

07:09:55

Verstappen 1.6, Hamilton 1.0. No DRS ahead.

07:10:48

Pace is OK, so I don't want to change.

07:11:33

How much will it cost to transfer from Brick?

07:11:38

Eight seconds.

07:12:38

Static trim for grip.

07:12:54

Diff in minus one.

07:13:14

Brake balance minus one.

07:13:38

Tyre phase update when you can. Piastri P1, 37.6.

07:14:49

Switch position yellow. For now we would stay like this. You're still competitive.

07:16:11

People starting to struggle with graining.

07:16:31

Hamilton 1.0 ahead. Really good job.

07:16:36

Yeah, yeah, still the same.

07:16:54

Brake shape plus one. We see high rear locking.

07:18:06

Switch position red. We are thinking plan B.

07:18:13

Yeah, OK. But, yeah.

07:18:34

Piastri, P1, 38.2. Plan B, plan B.

07:19:12

If it stays like this, I won't plan A.

07:19:46

So it would be too much traffic, so we stick to plan B. Plan B.

07:20:16

Murray's making a mistake.

07:21:25

No left toggle turn 1-2. Diff 2 open.

07:21:50

Piastri for you, 138.2.

07:23:30

These laps are good.

07:23:53

Power 3 losing a bit of time now.

07:25:12

Plan mode switch November.

07:25:24

Leclerc at least is the first part of the lap bridge.

07:25:44

Cops in the front.

07:26:20

Okay, copy. So we stay on plan B. Stay on plan B. That was a really good first sector. Keep pushing.

07:26:44

So now you're P2. Piastri and Russell boxed. Car ahead is Norris, 38.4.

07:27:59

So this lap time is good. We're monitoring the window to Verstappen.

07:28:04

And box, Charles, box to protect Verstappen. We keep same flap.

07:28:16

Flappy flaps, see what's possible over there. Box, Charles, Box, we don't change front wing, we keep same flap.

07:28:40

Brake balance plus three. We will be 1.5 ahead of Max, so keep pushing.

07:29:22

Next car is Lewis.

07:32:01

Sock seven. Copy that. Clear for the...

07:32:55

And we will swap the cars in turn 14.

07:33:13

And Lewis will let you by into turn 14.

07:34:50

We will swap the cars into turn 14.

07:36:29

You can overtake. Yes, we are now overtaking.

07:36:35

This is what he's been told.

07:36:58

This is a shame. The brakes are gone.

07:37:17

Well done. I'm sorry about that. Keep pushing.

07:37:28

Sock six when you want.

07:38:04

So you are the fastest car out there. Let's go, Charles.

07:38:33

Russell, 37.9.

07:40:09

Russell, 37.4.

07:41:20

Switch position yellow.

07:41:47

Russell 37.2.

07:42:57

Brake check plus one. Mercedes is a throttle out of control. Unbelievable. Don't worry. The throttle is out of control.

07:43:23

Just keep putting the pressure. Russell, 37.3.

07:44:33

And you have DRS.

07:46:11

You still have DRS?

07:46:39

Dip in, plus one.

07:47:53

We are faster, like quite a bit, but we cannot overtake, so...

07:51:02

And switch position red and diff in plus one.

07:51:28

And SOC 5 if you need.

07:53:06

Russell 37.2, Hamilton 37.2.

07:54:42

Leaders of the pace, 36.7. Tyre phase update.

07:55:16

Sock six.

07:55:54

Lewis, 2.8, picking up the pace.

07:56:00

D-Mate plus one.

07:56:19

We need to improve turn 2 exit. Better throttle application. Russell 37.2.

07:57:31

And we are thinking plan C. Other teams as well.

07:59:35

22 laps to go. Russell 36.9.

08:01:36

And this lap was on the slow side.

08:02:50

Diff mid minus one. Russell 36.7.

08:04:01

So behind Hamilton there's Verstappen picking up the pace now, flapping in 36.6s.

08:04:27

And Lewis Box, next car behind is Verstappen, five seconds.

08:05:36

And check your dash numbers when you can, please. Check your dash numbers.

08:06:03

So now it's the time to do the good laps. Russell 36.6. Verstappen picking up the pace.

08:07:41

Russell 36.6, Verstappen 36.6.

08:09:17

Russell, 36.5.

08:10:54

Russell, 36.5.

08:11:17

Verstappen, 36.1 behind.

08:11:29

Yeah, that's the first race.

08:13:41

And switch position. Yellow. Keep pushing.

08:14:08

Russell, 36.5.

08:14:30

Max 36.2.

08:15:19

We're losing some time in turn 2. Maybe try one lap without using the kerb. Nope.

08:15:44

Russell 36.5. Verstappen will be at 36.3.

08:16:57

Diff in minus one and keep looking at your dash when you can.

08:17:20

Russell 36.6.

08:17:42

And you're driving well. A bit faster, 36.2, but good driving.

08:18:13

And I confirm it was better.

08:18:30

So turn 1-2 is improved, now entry speed turn 9, next place to focus.

08:18:56

Ten laps to go. Russell 36.3.

08:19:18

Diff in minus one. Suggestion.

08:20:05

Driver default delta zero on.

08:20:32

And still main loss to Max, turn 9, Russell, 36.3.

08:22:08

And death made minus one. Verstappen 36.1.

08:23:24

Verstappen 2.1 behind.

08:23:45

And main last of Verstappen turns seven and eight, where he's pushing more the high speed.

08:24:54

And max 1.6. Main loss 8.9. That's where all the gain is. Four tenths there. Yeah, I know, I know. You told me about 10 or 15 times.

08:26:15

Max 1.0 behind.

08:26:31

And max with DRS.

08:26:57

Five laps to go.

08:28:07

Verstappen 0.6 behind.

08:28:34

Four laps to go.

08:29:46

Sock six. Next car behind is Hamilton. Eight seconds behind, lapping in 35.2.

08:30:12

Tsunoda with DRS. Lapped car.

08:31:24

Tsunoda with DRS.

08:31:28

Last lap after this one.

08:31:41

Two laps to go, two laps to go when you cross the line.

08:32:13

And reminder, Hamilton 5.5 behind.

08:33:05

Hamilton four seconds behind Tsunoda with DRS.

08:33:29

And last lap.

08:34:40

Tsunoda with DRS, Hamilton 2.6 behind.

08:35:11

And reminder, pick up. Good race. Especially considering the damage. Well done.

08:35:24

Copy. Thank you.

08:36:21

How far are we from the leaders?

08:36:26

23 seconds from Piastri. Copy.

08:36:38

Did we change the frapping at the pitstop to try and recover the 30 points loss or not? No, no. Would have been quite a slower pitstop, so you've kept the damage all the race.

08:37:47

And we go through the pits.

08:38:57

P0 and I get out. Yeah, P0 and you get out. Thank you.
