19:53:58
Radio check, Steve-O. Radio check.
19:54:04
I actually did the high speed 10 on that final lap. I didn't like it. I think it was too open. So I don't know. Maybe go back to 11 or 13.
19:59:56
Fifteen seconds now. Now ten.
20:00:50
You can go mode F.
20:02:11
And you were on target with that clutch drop. We would ask for a longer drag pace.
20:02:37
And we will go for three burnouts.
20:04:13
Brake drops are maybe here. Or is that not? Nothing on the radar for the moment.
20:05:09
Mode race when you can, Nico. Mode race when you can.
20:05:35
Sub-debris between turn three and four.
20:06:14
And virtual safety car, virtual safety car.
20:06:21
And Doohan got a puncture on the race start. He's currently stopped on the right-hand side before the chicane before turn 14.
20:06:32
Let's go mode SC and charge button off, please.
20:06:41
It was a nice start there, Nico, and good job staying out of trouble.
20:06:52
End mode S-C, Nico. Mode S-C.
20:07:02
Please get behind me, Stroll and Alonso. That's Stroll behind you on medium and behind him is Bearman on hard.
20:07:12
And then Alonso, Gasly and Lawson all on hard at the back.
20:07:37
Keep monitoring with the... how long it's going to be BSC. Warning please. Yep, will do. Doohan has still stopped there on track.
20:07:49
Delta is weird, it's very fast. Or we were just too negative.
20:07:54
Yeah, I think everyone was just quite slow there.
20:08:19
And they are currently lifting Doohan's car now.
20:08:43
There's a crane on the right-hand side of the track into turn 14 there. Looks like the car is off the track now, off the track.
20:08:54
And could be suited.
20:09:06
VSC is ending.
20:09:10
You can go mode RS.
20:12:19
Stroll is on hard as well? No, Stroll is on medium.
20:13:55
Yeah, copy. We'll have a look and let you know.
20:14:49
B-MIG 4 seems okay for us, Nico, but if you want, you can try B-MIG 3 for one lap.
20:15:24
And we suggest torque one.
20:16:21
Need high speed open. Okay, copy. We suggest high speed position 10. High speed 10.
20:16:57
And we suggest some liftoff into 17 and one.
20:17:02
Well, I am doing that.
20:17:08
Yeah, copy Nico. Keep it up.
20:18:32
And you can think about B-Meg 5 and brake balance minus one click.
20:19:27
And there's a rain shower approaching. It's currently around 15 minutes away.
20:21:02
And Nico, the deg seems as expected for us. We're still thinking plan A, if it stays dry. What's your feeling? Yes. Copy that.
20:24:10
We are currently on lap 13, Nico. We think that rain could hit in around five to seven laps.
20:25:10
We are happy to push more on these tyres, Nico.
20:25:24
Well, obviously just running into Bortoleto. Seems a bit pointless.
20:27:35
Let's see an 11. He's got a handbrake now, but with the big vans.
20:28:53
Nico, we suggest special 2 for turn 11 and a bit more lift off there might help.
20:30:24
And Nico, we think that first bit of rain is not going to hit us. The cloud is breaking up. It could be rain in around 20 minutes now. 20 minutes.
20:31:58
And we would suggest going forward on brake balance for turn 11.
20:35:40
And car in front now is Hadjar on medium.
20:36:39
And Stroll, who was the car behind, just boxed for hard.
20:36:46
Car behind now is Bearman. Four seconds. All cars on track. Behind you on hard.
20:38:48
It's getting harder for the tyres.
20:38:53
Yeah, understood, Nico. That rain is getting close.
20:39:11
That's Hadjar in the pitlane now.
20:40:19
And you can think about B-Meg 5 and engine braking plus one for the last corner. Um, no, I'm good.
20:40:47
Ocon on the pitlanes.
20:41:25
And we're currently P11, Nico.
20:41:51
And let's go SOC 6, Nico. You might start feeling drops. The rain is approaching from the direction of turn 17 and turn 78.
20:42:52
And it's fairly low-intensity rain at the moment, Nico.
20:43:51
Antonelli will be exiting the pit now.
20:44:22
And car behind is now Sainz on new hard.
20:45:17
We'll be close to Albon on pit exit, fighting Albon.
20:45:53
Use the prop in 70 now.
20:46:00
And it seems like a lot of other cars think that a set of new slicks will get them through this light rain.
20:46:29
How is the balance, Nico? It's OK, it's not bad. OK, copy.
20:48:00
Stop here in dirty air. I think it's coming up soon. Yeah, copy Nico.
20:48:13
And we have Bearman stopped in turn 8 runoff. Virtual safety car. Virtual safety car. And stay out, Nico. Stay out.
20:48:31
Yes, stay out, Nico. End mode SC. End charge button off.
20:48:59
And that car is stopped on the outside of turn 7 and turn 8. Some marshals also there.
20:49:35
What's the decision now? What do you think we're going to do? Yeah, we're discussing, Nico.
20:49:44
I think this is it, if there's not a lot of rain.
20:49:59
It doesn't seem like there's any more rain for the next 30 minutes at least. Okay, so we need to box it up.
20:50:23
And VSC is ending now, Nico. Let's stay out.
20:50:58
Can you explain to me that load you're thinking now?
20:51:21
We thought there could be another safety car, Nico. Car behind now is Hamilton on new medium.
20:53:23
And driver default delta zero zero on. Delta zero zero on.
20:53:45
Can we just wait for all the same car to let go?
20:54:57
Car behind. Car behind is Tsunoda. Tsunoda on four-lap hold hard. Is FGABI stopped on A? Yep, A for a while.
20:55:44
Make another one, but it won't be that long this one.
20:56:10
Yeah, copy Nico, we will box at the end of this lap anyway.
20:56:45
NVSE is ending.
20:57:04
Box 7. A-frame Nico, box.
20:57:13
And stay out, Nico. Stay out. Stay out.
20:57:53
And after the stop we will be inviting both Aston's. We're working on building a tyre delta to them now.
20:58:02
That's it.
20:58:09
I've broken on it also here.
21:00:06
And we'll be soon, Nico. Let's keep pushing.
21:01:36
We are boxing this lap, Nico.
21:02:39
Power tyres, tyres. Eight laps, eight laps.
21:02:49
And mode race.
21:03:45
We would go high speed 13. High speed 13.
21:04:02
That's 20 laps remaining now.
21:04:29
Let's go SOC 7.
21:04:42
You guys don't see what I see, or what? Yeah, we see it. We needed some battery recharge, Nico. Eh, not now. Okay, copy.
21:04:54
Want to keep position, no?
21:08:53
And what you're doing with brake balance in 11 and 17 makes sense to us. We think you could even afford a bigger step.
21:09:35
Gasly is in front. Gasly is on four lap older medium than you.
21:09:54
Missing some time to Gasly in 4, 5 and 7.
21:10:42
A bit of a race influence. I have no idea where we are. Yeah, so we are currently P14. There are two cars behind us on track. It's both Astons that you saw.
21:10:58
And Lawson, Gabby, Bearman do it in retire. Makes no sense to push that crazy now. Maybe if there's safety tyre, save a bit of tyre.
21:11:55
Yeah, I see what you're saying, Nico, but you're still betting on a safety car there.
21:13:27
It looks like Gasly is currently under investigation and has a potential five second penalty. He's currently seven in front.
21:14:57
And let's go MFB4 position 5. MFB4 position 5.
21:15:33
And we can consider high speed 10. Again, there's no concern with tyres in turn 5.
21:18:00
And you're doing a very good job, Nico. Around one second faster than Gasly currently. We suggest MFB 4 position 6 now. MFB 4 position 6.
21:19:00
We suggest entry plus one.
21:21:03
It looks like Gasly's recovered some pace. I think he had a mistake and then 30 tyres for a lap or two. And the car behind is Piastri, the race leader, eight seconds.
21:22:03
And eight laps remaining now.
21:22:38
Gasly lap time, last lap 31.3.
21:25:05
You can think about a wider entry to turn 7. Open a track bar there.
21:26:14
Think about state position 10. State 10.
21:27:51
Let's go sock position 4. Sock 4.
21:27:59
You always talk very close to the braking. Do it a bit earlier, please. Always. Yeah, copy that.
21:28:43
Car behind is Piastri. Yeah, affirm, Nico. Car behind is Piastri. Two and a half seconds now.
21:29:15
There will be three laps to go at the end of this one. Two laps to go if we can't stay in front.
21:32:22
And that's solid blue to Piastri behind him.
21:32:44
And that's the chequered flag, Nico.
21:33:28
Yeah, good job today, Nico. That was about all we could take, unfortunately.
21:33:38
You had good pace to Gasly on that last stint.
21:33:45
Yeah, clean race. Not sure what we could have gotten if we had have pitted after the first VSC. But yeah, we'll review it. Yeah, we'll have a look together, of course.
21:34:19
So that's Piastri P1 and then Norris P2.
21:34:23
Then Russell rounding out the podium. Verstappen 4, Albon 5, Antonelli 6, then Leclerc, Hamilton 7, 8, Sainz P9 and Tsunoda P10.
21:35:34
And a reminder, full switch-off procedure, please, Nico.
