Oscar Piastri
12:55:00
Oscar, radio check. Yep, radio check and drinks are good as well. Excellent.
12:57:20
May I ask for tyre information? The vast majority of cars start on soft tyres. You and Lando are on new softs. Everyone back to Bortoleto P12 after that is used. And Lawson P13 further back is all new softs. Tsunoda starts in the pitlane with me.
12:59:39
30 seconds.
12:59:48
It's a punt.
13:00:04
Five.
13:01:01
Watch your back, Oscar. That drop was awkward.
13:01:11
After turn 9, no more full load. Big difference.
13:01:45
Wind is at 10 kph headwind next turn 1.
13:01:59
So it will be a bite point fine after turn 40. Then white H14, position 11. Two long burnouts at the start finish line. I'm happy with your battle for the launch.
13:03:11
Last car is approaching the grid.
13:04:48
Blue mode 1. Blue mode 1. Good start.
13:05:59
0.9. 0.7.
13:07:29
Turn four and five, just back right as well as top left.
13:10:09
Suggest to cancel top right after turn 10. No toggle turn 12.
13:11:30
Orange, torque nine. Orange, torque nine. And tyre please back, please.
13:11:36
Yeah, they feel flat for now. We'll fix it, OK?
13:13:44
We are in the window for a full safety start over the full safety start home.
13:14:10
Silver N34. Silver N34. Confirm you've got the safety car message.
13:15:32
Strat 11. Strat 11. And we're still thinking plan A, target up.
13:15:38
Red mid 4. Red mid 4.
13:16:51
Turn 9, earlier lift. Turn 9, earlier lift. Gap to Verstappen, 3.8. Lando has DRS on Verstappen. Now let's just try and keep easing that gap out.
13:17:13
Turn 12, use top right throttle.
13:18:14
How's the tyre update, please? How's the tyre? It's struggling a little bit with the rear now.
13:19:35
Just pop right turn 7, pop right turn 7. Oscar, are you happy with plan A target lap? Er, yes.
13:19:56
Lando past Verstappen, 4.2.
13:20:58
Opportunity turn 9. Other car push a bit more turn 9.
13:22:22
Rambo, one tenth quick at turn 9. Same lap time as you.
13:25:00
Verstappen's still a second behind your window. He's pushing really hard. We think the best thing is a good plan A.
13:27:45
Still okay, but status has gone up now.
13:28:33
B-Bal plus one hundred. B-Bal plus one hundred.
13:29:00
Gap to Lando now, five seconds. How far do you think we can get?
13:29:05
Lap 25 possible. Possible, but difficult.
13:30:28
Expecting a couple more laps, Oscar.
13:30:42
Lando, last lap 21.6.
13:31:43
ACS, fuck, ACS.
13:32:38
Reverse. After turn 12, move brake balance rearwards 2%.
13:32:58
Good way, folks. Good luck.
13:33:44
Fernando 5.0. Verstappen the car ahead 5.7 on nine-lap hold tyres.
13:34:48
It's a good introduction, Oskar, so we can bring the tyre in a bit. Gap to Lando, 4.5. Verstappen, last lap 20.2.
13:36:09
And we expect Verstappen may try a three-stop, if possible, he tries a three-stop.
13:37:26
Adjust back right toggle, turn four and five. Back right toggle, turn four and five.
13:38:51
Verstappen 5.0. He did a 20.3.
13:40:09
4. Orange port 4 should help turn 5 and 12. We're plan A, target plus 3.
13:40:27
Verstappen, last lap 20.7.
13:41:26
Take care of the rears. Turn 7 exit. Last two have been a bit much.
13:42:47
You get some clear air. 12 second gap ahead.
13:44:06
How's the tyre, Oscar? Are you happy? Yep, happy enough.
13:45:26
Job turn 4 this lap was good for rear tyres.
13:46:45
Franco Colapinto, three and a half seconds ahead doing 22.6. We'll start to see the following effect now. He will get blue flags.
13:49:25
Red mid 4, top right for turn 7. So Verstappen, we believe, is doing a three-stop. His last lap was an 18.7. You just need to keep far enough ahead of him, you can't undercut.
13:49:48
Gap to Verstappen 10.9.
13:50:46
Turn 1. Focus on exit. Set up 2 and 3. That's Gasly ahead. He's doing 121.6, blue flag. He'll get blue flags when you get there.
13:51:09
In the window, both safety cars.
13:52:09
Turn 9, other car using the brakes a little to get rotation in entry to get better exit.
13:53:26
You've got 5.9 clear air. Now let's try and build the gap to Lando back out. Currently 3.1.
13:53:33
Lando, 19.6.
13:55:40
Opportunity turn one. Commit to steering entry. Parry speed.
13:56:07
OK, ahead of you is Ocon and Tsunoda.
13:56:28
Lando, last lap, 94. Let's try and get through these blues.
13:57:29
Tsunoda 2.3 ahead. Verstappen last lap 19.6.
13:58:48
A couple of tenths in turn 3. Oscar, you can lean on the front and back in turn 3.
13:59:43
Thirty seconds back, but that sets a time on the pitstop.
14:00:07
So you've got three seconds of clean air for Bortoleto. He's doing 21.1. Let's use the pace now.
14:00:26
P5.19.9. Your tyres look to be in good condition though, Oscar.
14:02:47
You've got seven seconds of clear air now. Plan A target plus three. Let's have great pace for these laps.
14:04:05
OK, Lawson's pitted too. You've got 14 seconds of clear air. Pace was good last lap. Stretch your legs, pull away from Lando. 4.2.
14:05:27
Good job, Oscar. Gap 5.1. 5.0.
14:05:47
Just take care of front left under rotations. Gaps are good.
14:06:44
Turn 7 suggests top right. Top right. Gap to Lando 5.4.
14:07:01
Okay, Verstappen to Pissitt. This'll be once past, Oskar. Use the pace for once past.
14:08:06
Gap behind is 6.2.
14:08:57
Out of turn 12, down on brake balance. We've boxed this lap.
14:09:22
Brake balance. Launch pad in pit lane. Launch pad in pit lane. Passing through.
14:09:37
North of my parking lot. North of my parking lot.
14:10:01
There's a load of blue flags ahead. The back ones are Lando. There are six cars in a line.
14:10:09
Captain Lando, 3.6.
14:12:23
Earlier left turn 9, 15 laps to go. Gap to Lando 3.
14:13:42
Suggest silver entry 3. Silver entry 3. There's one more blue flag, which would be Hulkenberg, 3.9 seconds ahead.
14:15:04
There's a gap behind. Lando 3.1, Verstappen 1.9 behind him.
14:16:19
Carcass temperatures are up to speed and you can now enjoy 12 seconds of clean air.
14:17:05
In the window for a full safety car and there are double yellows, turn 10. Double yellows, turn 10.
14:17:12
Safety car, Oscar. Safety car.
14:17:24
Oscar, we've boxed this lap. We've boxed this lap. Copy box.
14:17:35
Reminder, you'll need to launch up in pitlane.
14:18:01
I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90.
14:18:16
The positions are locked in at SC2.
14:18:26
Keep driving to the delta. Delta positive.
14:18:51
We suggest Strat 9 for the restart, Oscar. It will be Strat 9 for the restart.
14:19:06
Oscar Verstappen pitted as well. He's on a hard.
14:19:21
It's a recovery vehicle on track. Turn 10.
14:21:14
Front tyres are starting to cool down. Make sure you do a bit of work on them, particularly front... front right, sorry. Particularly front right.
14:21:46
Still a recovery vehicle on track, I believe. Still double yellows here.
14:23:28
OK, so turn 10 is now shown clear. The car's behind the barriers, but we're expecting that car to be allowed to overtake.
14:23:39
Just silver entry 4, silver entry 4.
14:23:58
I think that car's going to overtake. There's quite a few Lawsons behind who's the first.
14:24:31
The last car to come past you will be Colapinto.
14:24:54
So you should expect the safety car to enter this lap. Expect us to enter this lap.
14:25:10
After this lap, there are seven laps remaining.
14:25:38
So, Oscar, the strat is good for the restart, but we might have to use overtake at par throttle.
14:26:26
So the safety car's still out. They're probably waiting for the train to warm up a bit more.
14:27:04
Doing well on tyres, the front's in a good window at the moment.
14:27:27
Safety car will be in this lap. Safety car will be in this lap.
14:27:33
Go B-3, B-3.
14:28:07
OK, safety car turn 10.
14:28:12
Recharge at turn 11.
14:28:15
Mind if I overtake you, Sitch? Turn 12.
14:30:02
5 to go. And reminder for the toggles. DRS enabled.
14:36:25
That's the chequered flag. What a race. What a weekend, mate. Really good. Really happy. Biggest pole margin of the year. And very convincing Sunday afternoon as well. Great job. I've got a couple of switches. ACS off, please. ACS off. White H11.13. Debris charge off. That's white H11.13. And pick up rubber where you can.
14:36:48
Yep, when you said that Phase 2 for last year this weekend was going to be fucking awesome, you weren't wrong. I should listen to you more often, you know, you're a stop-cop. Great weekend. Yeah, couldn't have asked for more, so thank you very much everybody. Nice way to bounce back from a little bit of a difficult one last week. And very well done, well managed. Couldn't have done it any better myself, so well done.
14:38:39
Coming back into the pitlane, so boxes lap, bordering pitlane.
14:38:45
Copy. Box.
14:38:53
So, finishing order was Hugh Lando, Leclerc, Russell, Verstappen, Hulkenberg, Hamilton, Hadjar, Gasly, Alonso. That hard tyre didn't work very well.
14:39:04
Once you've parked the car, remember to switch fully off. So, kill the engine, wait five, and then switch fully off. And there's a lot of happy mechanics, because Mr. Cary Lemon Fanto will be joining you on the podium.
14:39:18
Huh. Nicely done. I can't wait for him to get dredged.
