Lando Norris
12:54:35
Ready to check. Cool.
12:57:33
Good luck for the race.
12:57:16
OK, Lando, tyre information. So all cars bar Tsunoda starting from the pitlane are on soft tyres. Tsunoda is on medium. Behind you are U-soft all the way back to P13. So U-soft starters behind you.
12:59:42
30 seconds to go.
12:59:49
Twenty seconds to go.
12:59:59
Ten seconds.
13:00:04
Five.
13:01:24
And no full pedal for now. Big lift into turn 10 and launch feedback. That was on target.
13:02:10
Before the burnouts, purple C6 position 10.
13:02:39
And pre-select C-switch for position 7.
13:03:13
Last car is approaching the grid now.
13:04:50
Lando, minor. Purple C6 position at 11. Purple C6 position at 11. DRS is being enabled.
13:05:46
Hamilton will have DRS.
13:06:11
1.7 ahead, 1.2 behind.
13:10:14
Fernando, how's the tyres? How's the pace? Yeah, tyres fine at the minute. Pace, just, yeah, trying to not kill the tyres too quick. So it's okay.
13:10:28
I'm okay, but still going up in temp.
13:10:34
Yeah, the cars ahead pushed a lot harder than you did. Verstappen is now beginning to save.
13:11:33
Another opportunity, turn 4, focused on the exit. We can push on these tyres now, they're up to 10. We want a time pass Verstappen.
13:12:54
Oscar's just done a 20.9, about the same level of sailing as Max. That before he did a 20.2.
13:13:16
Reminder, turn 12, tabletop braking.
13:15:36
Lando, suggest strat 7. Strat 7, gap ahead 1.0 and both safety car windows are open, please confirm.
13:18:18
And there are some cars at the back have already pitted. That might put them on plan C. Let's keep attacking Verstappen.
13:20:59
OK, mate. Good effort. Verstappen can do one. He's 1.8 behind. He's pitted, so the target is Oscar. 4.3 ahead to the 21.0 last time.
13:22:25
Strat 7. Behind is Leclerc 7.2. Hamilton, Verstappen 22.0, Lawson 27.8.
13:23:42
And Lando, suggest red A6, red A6, and left-hand paddle turn 4 and turn 5, and minor tyre update, please.
13:24:03
Yeah, slightly a bit more with the rears now.
13:25:02
And Lando, it's just a forward brake balance to help protect the rear.
13:25:57
Fernando Hamilton was the second Ferrari he's just pitted.
13:26:25
Hamilton who pit is currently 35 seconds back and Lando, when we pit a medium, we suggest coming down a little bit, maybe down a half, down one.
13:27:17
And Leclerc has pitted.
13:28:04
Ferrari apparently doing a gentle introduction.
13:29:13
I don't have the pace at the moment. Rear is landing. Bit of fun in the evening.
13:30:28
Lando, we would keep going if the pace can hold on. If it can't, then we're happy to pit. Gap to Antonelli, 22.4.
13:30:48
Lando, 100% pace please, 100% pace.
13:31:22
Okay, Lando, we will box this lap for a medium. I'll come down one.
13:31:39
Box this lap, please. Box this lap. Suggest blue B5. Blue B5.
13:32:02
Launch lap, launch lap, launch lap. This will be out lap two, stint two. We want the gentle introduction. Antonelli in the final corner. We are not trying to undercut.
13:33:33
So our tyres are eight laps newer than Verstappen. He did a 19.6 last time.
13:35:12
Adjust red A5. Red A5.
13:38:51
OK, tyres are up to temperature. Let's progressively push. Verstappen doing 20.3s.
13:40:11
I don't know, it's just orange E10, orange E10. Should help come back down on A switch. Oscar just did a 19.7.
13:41:31
ACS button press. Verstappen did a 20.5, Oscar a 19.9.
13:42:51
And Verstappen has pitted. That means he's on a three. We're happy with our plan.
13:43:12
Reminder, turn 5, corner discipline and brake.
13:44:10
Lando, remind her to drink, hell the tyres, and rear traction, more management, careful of those snaps.
13:45:05
Yeah, I just need to slow it a bit.
13:45:54
And I remember Barcelona braking. Using the brakings too much to get the rotation to come down on the mid-diff. That's A.
13:48:11
So, Lando Leclerc is 4.9 behind. Verstappen is 8. Verstappen will be in our race. Let's keep finding some pace.
13:49:32
And then we can push the tyre a little bit more at high speed turn 3, Fernando. No, I can't push my front left. It's great. I've just understeered.
13:50:25
Fernando, from where we are, we don't see the graining.
13:52:11
Lando, to help turn 7, suggest right-hand paddle and suggest down on A switch, red A switch to help the front. Both safety car windows are open.
13:52:32
Mate, this pace is strong. Oscar did a 20.1 last time. Let's keep going.
13:53:32
And the car effectively behind is Verstappen, 5.3.
13:53:50
And turn 5 reminder, that late braking doesn't work.
13:54:50
Minor. HTS button.
13:56:11
And gap to Verstappen 4.8. This is good. Keep it up.
13:57:30
Captain Verstappen still 4.8. Lando, pace two, it's target plus three. Pace two, target plus three.
13:58:50
Leclerc, what do you mean pace 2? Why do you want me to go slower? I didn't say pace 2, I said case. Case 2.
13:59:21
Turn 5 opportunity. Night of edge in.
14:00:14
Reminder to drink.
14:01:30
OK, mate, so Verstappen's 4.3. Both you and Oscar need to try and fill the gap to Verstappen. Last lap, Oscar, 19.4. Verstappen, 20.1.
14:05:32
I'm starting to really struggle, I think. Okay, I would suggest we come up half for the next tyre, up half. Happy?
14:06:23
So, Lando, every lap we can e-count is good as long as we keep the gap to Verstappen at 4.4.
14:06:32
But this is Germany's situation. We don't want to be a lap late.
14:06:57
Verstappen was pitted.
14:07:07
Well boxed this lap.
14:07:59
Box this lap. Box this lap. Roger.
14:08:12
There'll be launch map on once in the pitlane.
14:08:25
Outlap 2. Stint 2. Verstappen's in turn 13.
14:08:32
Step in 14.
14:08:54
Urgent, white default 0-1, white default 0-1.
14:09:26
Verstappen will have DRS.
14:09:51
Suggest early overtake and strap 10. Strap 10.
14:11:09
Something doesn't feel right. The deployment or something. OK, checking.
14:11:16
Maybe it's the wind, I don't know.
14:11:29
White's default 1-3. White's default 1-3.
14:11:47
White default 0-1. White default 0-1.
14:12:27
Lando, just manage rear slips coming through this tunnel.
14:13:46
OK, Verstappen 1.3.
14:15:04
I don't know if the tyres to the end need to take care of the rear surface temperature management.
14:15:10
That's traction at braking.
14:17:12
Safety car deployed. Safety car deployed.
14:17:20
Right now I think we should box this lap.
14:17:25
Yeah, OK. What's Oscar doing? Both of us. Team I just have to wait behind him. It's an instruction to box.
14:17:54
Launch path on in the pitlane.
14:18:06
Block the back, block the back, block the back.
14:18:18
Could be close to Kars at exit.
14:18:40
And Verstappen on hard tyres.
14:19:17
There's double yellow flags still around turn 10 and a recovery vehicle on track. Recovery vehicle on track.
14:20:16
Lando, I'd like an ACS button press, please.
14:20:45
And Lando, we're going to go strat 9. Strat 9.
14:21:16
Where are all my biggest time losses? Is it just that I've been in a dirty air the whole time or is it just that I'm not doing a good enough job?
14:21:34
The opportunity is turn 5. Focus on minimum and edging into the corner.
14:21:42
And turn 12, tabletop brake.
14:21:50
Be wary of braking too late in turn 7. Really focus on the exit there.
14:24:00
And lapped cars will now overtake.
14:24:41
That should be all the cars.
14:24:56
Well, as you're doing, start watching the front tyres and the brakes. And then we can do pressure and hold overtake at restart.
14:25:09
Out of 12? Or out of 14?
14:27:19
Doing a good job on the tyres, Pete, keep this up.
14:27:27
Right, the safety car is in this lap. Safety car is in this lap. Remember everything we've learnt about the restart.
14:27:43
Think about brake balance for the restart.
14:28:12
Safety car's 11. Recharge off. Safety car 12. Remind of that overtake button. Safety car exit at 12.
14:28:25
Next car's in 13.
14:28:29
Big scar in pitlane.
14:30:01
Still 1.0 ahead. Leclerc is 2.0 behind and DRS being enabled next time.
14:30:38
On press now into turn 10, please.
14:32:33
Suggest Strat 5. Strat 5. Main opportunity. Turn 4 to turn 5 minimum. I can't make this clear. I just understeer. I don't have the speed.
14:36:27
Maximum pickup, please. Recharge on ACS.
14:38:41
And you'll be going to the pitlane, please.
