Lando Norris
12:55:10
Ready to check. Cool. Yep, loading.
12:57:46
Fernando, tyre info. Tsunoda and Lawson start on soft. A lot of hard-ons today. Verstappen, Alonso, Hamilton, Sainz, Russell, Antonelli, Colapinto and Stroll. Everybody else starts medium.
12:58:28
Point seven.
12:59:42
Thirty seconds to go.
12:59:50
20 seconds.
13:00:04
Bye.
13:01:21
Lando, no full pedal from now. Can't be back. That was on target. Just mind the step in throttle.
13:01:57
Purple C6, position 10 before the burnouts. That's purple C6, position 10.
13:03:06
Last car approaching the grid.
13:04:54
Virtual safety car deployed. Virtual safety car deployed. This is possibly for debris on the exit of turn 8.
13:05:09
That is double yellow flags turn eight.
13:05:26
Still double yellow flags, turn 8. Stay to the right, stay to the right.
13:05:57
Man, there is a lot of debris all over the track turn 8.
13:06:57
Still double yellow flags in turn 8.
13:07:13
And still double yellows.
13:08:52
And still double yellow flags turn 8.
13:09:20
Track has been declared clear.
13:09:27
Virtual safety car ending, virtual safety car ending.
13:09:53
Leclerc will have DRS.
13:11:11
Minor, purple C6, position 11. Purple C6, position 11.
13:13:13
And I suggest red A4, red A4 and silver D4, silver D4 for the front. Need to let the tyres come up to temperature before we push much more.
13:13:59
Lando, gaps behind. Leclerc, 2. Oscar, 6.4. Verstappen, 8. Hadjar, almost 10.
13:15:48
Double yellow flags, turn 10, turn 11, could be debris.
13:17:11
There's still double yellow flags turn 10 to 11. Pitlane entry is closed for your awareness.
13:17:27
I think that's debris 15-17. I don't know what's going on with my dash, like, I don't know where the double yellow doesn't come up on my dash. Delta time. I'm letting off as much as I can.
13:17:41
But, yeah, I don't know how much to slow down. The delta isn't coming up. OK, we're looking at it now.
13:18:31
Still double yellows.
13:18:36
Because it's not a safety car, there isn't a delta, so just lift appropriately.
13:18:46
But I think there is. It's just in the wrong place. I don't understand. I'm just lifting.
13:18:53
I'm just lifting what's safe, I guess. That's what I'm trying to do.
13:19:20
Thomas, see me in the pits.
13:19:50
So a progressive build-up of pace now is okay. The gap to Hadjar is currently 7.5.
13:21:07
Lando, we see abrasion on the front left, similar across all cars we care about.
13:21:52
Just be careful of late combines into 10.5 and 10.6.
13:23:40
And opportunity, more line focus, turn 10, turn 11.
13:24:13
Lando, how's the pace, please? Gap, uh, pace six or seven.
13:24:23
OK, we'd like to use a bit more of that pace, please.
13:25:41
Cars behind are pitting.
13:25:50
Alonso, who was in 5th, has pitted. Ocon's pitted, who was in 7th.
13:26:08
Hamilton in P5 is 15.0, then Hadjar P6, sorry P7, 32.2.
13:26:43
And a minor. Purple C6 position 10. Purple C6 position 10.
13:27:23
Captain Hamilton is 15.3. He did a 14.9 last time.
13:29:03
Box, first lap. Box, first lap.
13:29:22
Launch pad, launch pad, launch pad.
13:29:30
This will be outlap one, stint two.
13:29:43
Right, so we're protecting against Leclerc doing the overcut he's been told to push.
13:30:47
And Lando Leclerc has gone past, so we can go to stint 2.
13:31:31
Okay, Lando, so we're going to keep the pace up for now. Leclerc 17.2. Next thing is to get back in his safe zone.
13:32:14
Gap to Leclerc is 16.4.
13:33:29
Focus on a little bit more saving turn 4, turn 5. Now this is a good job. Next target is Verstappen, 10.7.
13:33:58
Minor. Purple C6 position 11. Purple C6 position 11.
13:35:49
The gap to Verstappen is stable at the moment, 10.6.
13:36:30
What do you want to do?
13:36:55
OK, so Verstappen gap is 9.9. Have to progressively push on the tyres. I want to add the safety car number we told you, or less. He's graining, starting to open up on this tyre lap 17.
13:38:28
Minor. White H4 position 5. White H4 position 5. Verstappen had traffic. He's now 7.9.
13:39:33
I don't know how the tyres, how the pace is. Yeah, OK, pace 5.
13:40:14
I need blue flags as soon as possible, please. That's a really fat signal.
13:40:47
Verstappen has a pity. It should come out well behind.
13:42:03
Why are there nimbly flags?
13:44:47
Okay, mate. Well done getting through those laps. Let's get the gap back on Leclerc again. Currently 3.8. He's still got traffic to come through.
13:48:31
Right, doing a good job. We just want to keep filling gaps to get up to Leclerc 6.5 and then you've got Hamilton in P5, so gap is 20.
13:51:00
And Lando, if you're happy with the balance, all good. If you want to stabilise it a little bit, suggest red A5.
13:52:05
And how's the pace in tyres? Gap to Leclerc 5.5.
13:52:14
Yeah, I'm, er, I don't know, P4.
13:53:30
Lando, the gap to Leclerc is 5.0. If we can use some more pace, we should, please.
13:54:34
The main opportunity is turn 3, turn 4.
13:55:59
Picked behind is Leclerc at 4. Verstappen, who's at P4, is 15. Hamilton, 31.
13:57:13
Lando, minor. Purple's C6 position 10. Purple's C6 position 10. Last lap was good. Let's keep this up.
13:59:32
OK, mate, this is nice. So our target is to continue to get the gap to Leclerc, currently 5.7.
13:59:42
And also build a gap to Verstappen who's 15.8. Leclerc just did a 14.5.
14:00:46
Picking up a little bit of abrasion from left, I think, from braking.
14:00:56
It's all good for the moment, mate. Super fast. Leclerc last lap 14.2.
14:02:00
And a minor, white 8-4, position 4. White 8-4, position 4.
14:02:11
Suggest red A4. Red A4.
14:03:14
Lando Russell has been on the hard from the start. His looks like abrasion, not graining.
14:08:05
Box this lap. Box this lap.
14:08:11
Remember, launch pad on in the pitlane.
14:08:21
Launch pad on. Launch pad off.
14:08:26
Minor, purple C6-11, purple C6-11.
14:08:35
It'll be out lap two, stint two. So Verstappen's in turn one. Leclerc just left the final corner.
14:09:50
OK, Lando, all we need to do now is just make sure Verstappen stays in our safety car window. It's 5.7 at the moment.
14:11:46
Lando, if Leclerc gets in our gearbox, just remember what we said about using your mirrors in the very, very low speed.
14:15:03
OK, mate, doing really good. Obviously Verstappen are just trying to hang out from VSC or worse.
14:18:47
Gap to Leclerc was 1.0 that time.
14:19:52
Leclerc will have DRS.
14:28:05
And Lando, we don't want the gap to be any bigger to max ahead, please.
14:32:36
Where is Oscar? I need him to put towels under some pressure.
14:33:09
Yeah, Max is just backing me up. He's not even pushing.
14:33:21
Max is complaining a lot about his tyres.
14:33:42
Einer, ACS button, please.
14:36:26
And Oscar's DRS on Leclerc.
14:37:33
Five laps to go, doing a great job.
14:40:15
Just be careful, turn 16 apex kerb.
14:41:20
Wenders are 7 off the box. Next time round.
14:43:54
There you go. P1 at Monaco, baby.
14:44:02
Climb and recharge on. ATS button press and pick up rubber boost.
14:44:19
Monaco, baby! Yeah, baby!
14:44:26
We did it. Well done. We won in Monaco. It's a dream. Well done, guys. Unbelievable job. Amazing weekend. Thank you so much. Yes, mate. Agree. Strong all weekend. Well done. Again, proud of you. Big lifts into 10 and 14, wherever you go, or 30.
14:44:56
Lando, we go to the grid to get out of the deal.
14:46:01
Lando, if you do another big lift, maybe out on the final corner, up to the grid, that'd be cool.
14:46:23
Nice job, mate. Well done.
