15:53:30
Radio check, Steel. Radio check.
15:53:53
Yeah, I think it'd be very risky to start the race like this on inters, but yeah.
15:54:02
I mean, for the FIA, you know, to just go green, it would be very, very risky.
15:54:35
I'm in mode RS, so if we do the launch here, what happens after? Charge on or what is it? F-lap.
15:59:42
And that's 30 seconds now.
16:01:23
You can go mode F-lap.
16:01:32
Visibility is nothing here on the straight. Can't see a thing. Yeah, understood, Nico. There's still no info on the race start procedure. Or if we will start the race this lap.
16:01:48
And for info, you were target minus two.
16:02:25
Nico, we will do at least one more lap behind the safety car. Keep doing your best on brakes and tyre temperature.
16:03:10
You can go mode SC.
16:04:01
Can we suggest multi-A shift position 4, shift 4?
16:04:17
Nico, it will be a suspended starting procedure, so we will go back to our grid position.
16:04:46
And correction, Nico, we will come back into the pitlane.
16:05:12
We will stop the car in the pitlane in the order that we arrive and please leave a two metre gap to the car in front.
16:21:31
Radio check, Steve-O. Radio check.
16:27:41
And 30 seconds now, Nico.
16:27:51
And for these two laps behind the safety car, we can go about SC.
16:28:04
10 seconds now.
16:30:24
Any feedback on track conditions, Nico?
16:30:28
Yeah, it's much better. Much less spray in scenic water. Still the worst here, that 60 to 70 bit.
16:30:44
OK, copy that. We will go for another lap behind the safety car.
16:30:50
And you have completed two laps of the sprint now, so 17 to go.
16:31:22
You're doing a good job with brakes and tyres so far. Keep it up.
16:31:41
So, Nico, at the end of this lap, we will go for a standing start. Right-hand side P10.
16:31:48
Yeah, just remind me that again, just before we get there please. Will do.
16:31:54
You can go mode FL.
16:32:51
And we will go forward to burnouts, Nico. Safety cars entering the pitlane now.
16:33:23
So the sprints will be 16 laps in total now. And reminder, we go to P10 on the right-hand side.
16:34:14
All good with switches. Last car is approaching the grid now.
16:36:22
We suggest B-Meg 1. B-Meg 1.
16:37:04
And currently P15 Nico. Car in front is Gasly. Car behind is Bearman.
16:37:38
Let's go multi B4 position three. Multi B4 position three.
16:38:06
We suggest B-B plus one.
16:38:50
And mid position 6.
16:40:26
I need to open at the high speed. 11 or what? Oversteer.
16:40:32
Yeah, we can go position 11 and multi B8 position 2.
16:40:59
The tyres are really taking off. Getting quite dry for these. Yeah, understood. The leaders are already looking for wet patches to cool them down. How is the track condition, Nico?
16:41:12
What's it, 2-0?
16:41:30
And it was multi B8 position 2 here in Freno, position 2.
16:42:48
Let's try to look for some wet patches. Tyres are hot.
16:43:26
The brakes are getting too hot too. I'm losing efficiency.
16:43:33
Seems okay for us, Nico.
16:44:32
Nico, we suggest entry plus one and engine braking plus one.
16:44:39
And you can consider spectral two for the last corner.
16:45:00
And 10 laps remaining now.
16:47:03
There's a tyre big time.
16:47:20
Is it only the front, Nico, or both axles? Both axles. Copy. But make it a front slip. Yep.
16:48:01
And we suggest mid 5 DRS is enabled.
16:48:29
Eight laps remaining.
16:49:15
I think we're going to do something.
16:49:25
Let me know how it gets on in the sector. Yep, we're watching him closely.
16:49:45
He's slower than you in sector one.
16:50:10
And Tsunoda is faster than us in sector 2. Other cars in the pitlane now.
16:50:21
Yeah, I guess now next lap everybody will box.
16:51:10
What are you thinking? Yeah, we're thinking to stop now, Nico. Stop for slicks.
16:51:18
How many cars are on slicks now?
16:51:24
Four cars in total. Four cars.
16:51:30
And we are P13 on track. Yeah, it doesn't... Maybe we need to take a risk and see if I stay out.
16:51:45
Let me know now.
16:51:48
And box, Nico, box.
16:51:53
And stay to the left-hand side of the pitlane. There's some debris.
16:52:35
Wow, that was definitely unsafe for these guys. Oh, is that the wall there? Copy Nico.
16:52:57
We suggest high speed 13.
16:53:03
And there is some debris between 13 and 15.
16:53:34
And we'll be five to go at the end of this one.
16:53:59
10 cars exiting the pitlane now. You'll be racing them.
16:54:50
Yellow in front of you now. Lanza's on the left.
16:54:59
And safety car, safety car.
16:55:18
Yeah, nice job with the overtake there, Nico. We can go mode SC and charge button off.
16:55:31
And follow your delta. Stay positive.
16:55:54
So that was Alonso in the wall there. And that puts us up to P13.
16:56:07
There are four laps remaining now and everybody's on slicks.
16:56:41
And the safety car has the race leaders now entering turn 13.
16:56:49
And Alonso's car is still there in turn 12. There are marshals on track, so be careful there.
16:57:41
What did Lawson do? How did he stop super early or what? Oh, he was in front before.
16:57:49
It looks like he stopped the same time as us. He was already in front.
16:58:43
And cars are starting to bunch up exit turn 8.
16:58:59
And the car is still there. There is a crane on the track now. Left-hand side, turn 12.
17:00:25
And that's two laps remaining now.
17:01:14
Nico, that crane is still there. He's got the car lifted at the moment and moving there on the left-hand side of the track. So stay to the right.
17:02:14
No information yet, Nico, but it's likely the safety car is staying out and this will be the final lap.
17:02:24
Yep, confirmed. We will finish behind safety car.
17:02:53
And Verstappen has a 10 second penalty. He's currently nine seconds in front of us. Let's do our best to keep the gap to Gasly.
17:03:25
And the safety car will come in the pitlane at the end of this lap. All the cars will stay on track and cross the start-finish line. No overtaking.
17:04:20
Verstappen is 7 in front now. He wants to be as close as possible to Gasly.
17:04:38
Safety cars in the pitlane. Leaders are exiting last corner.
17:04:56
And that's the chequered flag.
17:05:16
And that's P12 for us in the end, Nico, after Verstappen's penalty. Let's go mode end and charge button off.
17:05:49
And looks like Bearman will be investigated for that unsafe release after the sprint.
17:06:04
Well, that was a lot more eventful than we might have expected last night.
17:06:29
Was Norris that won the sprint? He stopped for slicks quite late. I think he caught the safety car. And Piastri P2, then Hamilton Verstappen, Albon, Stroll, Lawson, Bearman P8 and Tsunoda. Actually, I think Tsunoda is getting P8.
17:07:20
Warning reminder for switch-off procedure, Nico.
