12:54:11
Radio check. Radio check.
12:55:15
Five minutes.
12:57:13
Braking minutes.
12:58:09
Okay, Esteban, so Albon and Lawson behind are on soft and Alonso, Hamilton and Verstappen on hard ahead. Everybody else is on medium and Sainz is also on hard behind, so it's very mixed.
12:59:09
One minute.
12:59:39
Five through the seconds.
13:01:58
OK, Esteban, so five burnouts in total and one between 18 and 19, the rest after 19.
13:02:39
So Lawson is on medium behind, so the only car on soft is Tsunoda, by the way.
13:04:53
VSC. VSC. So mode slow, stay positive on delta. I think Bortoleto damaged the wall in turn 8.
13:05:08
Double yellow turn 8. There is no car, there just might be some damage.
13:05:31
Stay to the right side, stay to the right, turn 8.
13:05:47
Keep to your right hand side. So four cars have pitted. Tsunoda, Gasly, Olli and Bortoleto.
13:06:38
OK, so nobody in front has pitted.
13:06:49
Lewis Hamilton, thank you so much, Cap.
13:06:52
I will find out.
13:07:04
He's driving so slow. Yeah, we've noted it.
13:07:21
Remember double yellow, stay to your right.
13:08:04
Now we're four seconds clear. Five seconds. That's unbelievable. Come on!
13:08:10
Yes, we hear you. We think he's playing.
13:08:17
Yeah, but you're not allowed to do this.
13:08:22
It is reported.
13:09:10
Still yellow. You can go to mode W and stay to your right.
13:09:19
Track is clear.
13:09:24
Restart any second. VSC ending. VSC ending.
13:09:43
That's it, mate. Push, mate, push.
13:09:51
DRS is enabled.
13:10:43
He's going to sock six, you're in seven at the moment, sock six.
13:11:23
Seventy-three laps to go.
13:12:43
Tsunoda and Gasly in free air are doing 18.8s.
13:13:07
Make sure they hear that in front, please.
13:14:05
Seventy-one laps to go.
13:14:46
Watch for Lawson because he's not behind. He's creating a gap. Yep.
13:14:58
Here we know, same as Piastri and Alonso.
13:16:02
Double yellow, 10-11. There might be debris. No car.
13:16:14
Debris exit turn 11 on the left-hand side, so stay right.
13:17:24
The pitlane is closed, just so you know. Still double yellow, turn 11.
13:18:06
Sixty-eight laps to go.
13:18:46
Still double yellow, 10-11. Track is clear.
13:19:23
Track is clear. Also pitlane open again.
13:20:52
We're 11 seconds clear of Lawson, so it's not bad.
13:21:21
The only car is Tsunoda. He's now at the back of the pack doing 19.6.
13:21:57
Safety car and VSC window open. 65 laps to go.
13:23:14
Tsunoda doing 19.3.
13:23:53
Hadjar has pitted. He can't do anything.
13:24:32
Sixty-three laps to go.
13:25:25
Funk three, Esteban, funk three.
13:25:30
Drop foot on the flap. Copy it.
13:25:40
Fox, this lap. Fox, this lap.
13:25:47
Copy. Push out lap and mode RS, please.
13:26:06
There will be a five-dead-feet exit.
13:26:15
Sorry, so Lawson is four seconds behind. Too late to call.
13:26:47
OK, go to mode push. Give it all you have.
13:27:23
You can reset switches to mid 3 and EB6.
13:28:39
OK, so Hamilton has pitted.
13:29:00
Yes, he's six ahead. Ahead of Hadjar.
13:30:05
PS1, Hadjar has pitted again.
13:31:13
I'm going hot.
13:31:20
Alonso is unhard confirmed. So is Hadjar behind. Hadjar is 14 seconds behind.
13:31:53
You can go to mode F1 for performance.
13:32:30
Campiano, Alonso.
13:32:39
Car ahead. Car ahead is Alonso. Gap behind is 12. Gap ahead of Alonso is 11.
13:33:27
Yeah, what I mean is that his pace, my pace. I'm stuck behind.
13:33:48
Hadjar is doing 16.1.
13:35:06
Hadjar now doing 17.2.
13:35:15
Not too sure what's the purpose of going so slow.
13:35:48
We think that's just Alonso's pace.
13:36:27
Fifty-four laps to go.
13:36:35
Jar doing 16.8.
13:37:54
Pajano on 118.
13:38:58
Hadjar still doing 17 high.
13:39:08
So we get 50 metres of lift and coast into turn 10.
13:39:14
I don't know if I've picked up the pace now.
13:39:40
I've struggled with real tech on the first team, so we are happy to follow him as much as we can on him.
13:39:53
Yes, we're happy at the moment.
13:40:56
So, fully push now if you can.
13:41:21
Box opposite. Box opposite, Alonso.
13:41:30
Esteban in. Copy. We're going on hards.
13:41:41
Go to mode RS. And full push on the outlap, please. Full push.
13:43:11
There's 49 laps to go. Alonso is still out.
13:44:25
Forty-eight laps to go. Still happy to push.
13:45:41
Lawson, Fox, he will come out behind.
13:45:50
Alonso is doing 16.1.
13:46:55
So, Albon boxed ahead. This is his first stop.
13:48:11
You can go to mode F1. I'm still happy to push.
13:49:26
OK, you can stop pushing as hard.
13:49:36
Alonso is well inside our pit window. It's all good.
13:50:06
Can we get 50 metres lift and coast into turn 10? Yeah, I don't know if we've cleared him or not. We have cleared him, we're good.
13:50:42
We would like 16.0, 43 laps to go.
13:52:00
Forty-two laps to go.
13:53:02
Alonso stopped in turn 18, yellow in turn 18. He's in the runoff.
13:53:14
OK, track is clear, so Alonso is retiring.
13:54:31
Please go back to mode push.
13:54:41
The race leader, Norris, is three behind.
13:55:11
So everyone ahead except Hadjar still has to pit one more time. Your P7.
13:55:50
Leclerc is three behind. He is P2. Got 39 laps to go.
13:59:04
Hadjar has now been lapped as well.
13:59:42
35 laps to go.
14:00:59
Thirty-four laps to go.
14:02:23
Nice car behind us, Verstappen.
14:02:30
OK, now you're clear behind 18 seconds.
14:05:26
Hadjar is on hard.
14:06:47
We're happy for you to create a gap to Hadjar.
14:07:02
Keeping with tyres.
14:07:14
Same case of safety car.
14:07:24
Jeremy, otherwise I can put in pressure. Leclerc has pitted to come out in front.
14:07:45
Still not something to gain if we push now, because the others haven't picked it yet.
14:07:52
It was quite a bit of luck when I dropped.
14:08:06
We don't think there's anything to gain. Leclerc was a blue anyway, so we're happy to create a gap. Copy.
14:08:33
Car behind is Piastri.
14:08:42
Now caveat, we're racing.
14:08:47
Lawson is car racing behind.
14:08:52
He's 25 seconds behind. 25 seconds.
14:10:12
Next car behind is Hamilton. He's five behind.
14:12:38
Gap to Lawson is 19 seconds, 25 laps to go.
14:13:59
24 laps to go.
14:15:14
With like a 2.5 second gap to Hadjar, 23 laps to go.
14:17:28
Suggestion shape 4.
14:17:50
I'd like a little more gap. 21 laps to go.
14:18:31
Driver default, C01 OK.
14:19:08
Gap to Lawson behind. Seven seconds, 20 laps to go.
14:21:42
For info, Hadjar has been asked to go slower. 18 laps to go. Reason?
14:21:52
Possibly Lawson behind. Six seconds.
14:22:24
Yeah, keep your tyres alive. We think they look good for now.
14:22:28
Yeah, there's no need to play this game.
14:23:02
17 laps to go. Lawson still six behind.
14:23:41
So we will catch the back of the field, they're five seconds ahead.
14:24:19
Sixteen laps to go.
14:25:36
Fifteen laps to go.
14:25:45
Gap to Lawson is four. Just for info, the cars ahead are seven cars at the back of the pack.
14:26:54
Six more cars to go ahead. 14 laps to go.
14:28:21
Lawson, our car behind, two seconds.
14:29:31
So Hamilton and P5 is three behind, behind Bortoleto.
14:29:39
Hamilton now far behind. We'll get blue flags.
14:30:07
Blue flag, Hamilton.
14:30:16
Car behind is Lawson, 1.56.
14:33:26
Iron laps to go.
14:36:00
Seven laps to go.
14:36:26
Everything okay with the engine? Checking.
14:36:37
We don't see any problems.
14:38:32
Five laps to go. We won't catch the cars ahead.
14:39:48
Four laps to go. Please, again, lift and coast 50 metres into turn 10.
14:43:38
This will be the final lap.
14:44:58
Okay, that's the checkered flag. We're at P7. P7.
14:45:05
Nice job, nice job.
14:45:11
Very good, guys. Very, very good. Awesome run this weekend. Thank you. Thank you very much. That was enjoyable, to say the least. And, yeah, we go again next week, so enjoy that one. It's for all of you. Thank you.
14:45:31
Thank you, Esteban. Remember your in-lap procedure. But yeah, 78 enjoyable laps for you.
14:45:41
The stress. But that's why we love it too. Yeah, for sure.
14:46:37
They've all cut at the track in the chicane, so I don't know if that's something, but for fuel saving or whichever. I'm not sure anyone needed his fuel save after this, but yeah, well noted.
14:47:38
Okay, Esteban, when you stop, go to P1. Wait a few seconds and go to P1.
