16:40:23
OK, so straight out, you'll be clear pit exit. We should have a pretty clear track in front. So happy to be pushing on this outlap.
16:40:56
Recharge off DRS seven to eight.
16:41:13
Recharge on down to 10. Franco aborted his lap. He'll be pushing next time. 10 seconds up the road.
16:41:24
DRS down to 13.
16:41:29
Good stab on the brakes when you get there.
16:41:41
Charge off when you're ready, Ham. Good to go.
16:43:12
Clearage over onto Tsunoda, starting a lap behind four seconds.
16:43:18
OK, so we're going to...
16:43:22
I think we're going to double cool at this stage. Yeah. OK, so clear behind now. So how was the balance at the start of the race?
16:43:33
I didn't feel great to start the lap. I had a grip problem, gripped on 1.2 and then a bit of understeer through 6. Just watching Hulkenberg fall behind Ty Blom.
16:43:52
Lay behind him. I'm just getting so incredibly late at the moment, I don't know the track.
16:44:19
Times at the minute. So at the moment the players just set the fastest time 14.1 on the medium. That was on his second lap. On that he did fast, slow, fast.
16:44:35
Next car pushing behind. Fernando, time lap nine seconds. We're P2 at the moment. Only six cars have set times. Split of medium and soft so far. Ocon, Bearman, Leclerc, Tsunoda, Hamilton and Piastri out on medium as it stands. Fernando coming through now, two behind. We've got a gap.
16:45:06
Let's go for another slow lap. Franco behind could be pushing the
16:45:13
He's done a very slow, slow lap. And Bearman six behind. Now the car behind you just finishing a punt.
16:45:24
What was Fernando's lap time? Fernando fastest 13.0 on the soft. Stay steady for the moment of his time, please.
16:45:34
So, Franco, push for him. Stand by now, please. Just going to sort the traffic out. Bearman and Ocon behind slow laps, but we will have Hamilton coming through on a timed. He's about seven behind, so I just need to watch for him. He's now two cars back.
16:45:55
Standard outlap from seven and Hamilton three behind time.
16:46:14
That's quite a lot of space in front here. We've got Leclerc on a timed six and a half behind. We're going to need to watch for him. Standard outlap from now. DRS usage 10-13.
16:46:35
I'm not sure if Fernando is single or double cooling at the moment.
16:47:27
Oh, my God!
16:47:32
Watch for Leclerc behind. A couple of cars could be pushing here.
16:47:40
Okay, let's focus. Let's bring it back down. Hamilton pushing now. Three behind. Watch for him, please.
16:48:03
Just got to watch for Bearman, five and a half behind on a time-lapse. If we go now with DRS option, OK? No other cars in front here.
16:49:53
Yeah, I lost the rear. That's okay. Okay, let's double cool and go for one more push. Watch.
16:49:58
Go for one more push. Watch for Franco behind four and a half seconds. He's, in fact, sorry, he's just finished a time, so we're good.
16:50:14
Next car pushing behind, Fernando, about six seconds back.
16:50:26
Filling you up on times in a moment. Just got Fernando Kai behind timed. A couple of cars coming through this time. Just keep it nice and steady, please. Yeah.
16:58:00
Crank tap is stabilised as well.
16:58:04
Sorry, just want to get us out before we drop out of sync with everyone.
16:58:18
Just line up there on that wind from the last few laps measured. Maybe a touch more tailwind into turn 13, 14, but small.
16:58:32
OK, so we're going to target a standard outlap, so happy to make a gap at pit exit. So it's got to be before Soapscar Line 2, ideally.
16:58:46
Antonelli going into turn one and then Norris six seconds behind him. So we've got Norris time lap going into turn one now, about two behind. Clear behind him.
16:59:00
Standard outlap, let's follow him. Next car pushing is Hamilton about five and a half behind timed.
16:59:13
Hopefully these guys pushing should help us.
16:59:19
Recharge off and DRS down to 8. Bortoleto outlap in front.
16:59:33
Why are they so cold, the tyres?
16:59:38
It's just a function of the red flag, unfortunately. Let's try and bring these temps up. Recharge on, please.
16:59:49
So DRS down to 13, please.
16:59:54
Try and keep maximum pace down here.
17:00:07
So just the brake shape and good to go. Stroll pushing five behind. Let's go now.
17:00:40
You owe me to keep pushing.
17:00:44
If it's absolutely nowhere, no.
17:00:47
Go, push next lockdown. Go, watch Leclerc pushing three behind.
17:00:55
And then we've got Bearman time to five behind him as well.
17:01:03
I wonder if he's not doing the wrong run there, Leclerc. He's not using DRS. Yeah, he's on that used medium. You're right, his first sector is down as well. Watch Bearman, three and a half behind him. Bearman could be doing similar. Looking at that first sector, he's quite a bit off there.
17:01:22
I want to go in front of these guys, that's fine. In front of Russell's a gap, two cars up the road.
17:01:29
Where's Bearman? Bearman's about three behind.
17:01:38
Two cars back. Bearman. Sustainable watch for Bearman. We're going to have to make a gap two, unfortunately. Yeah, well, that's not good.
17:02:02
Okay, so Russell Antonelli cars behind second slow lap.
17:02:19
Hamilton pushing, about four behind.
17:02:27
Hamilton coming through now. Two behind.
17:02:34
Standard out lap from now. We've got a decent gap in front here. Let's try and hold this if we can. Next car pushing is Stroll. Four and a half.
17:02:56
Lance of Hamilton here. I suggest we try and keep this spot if we can.
17:03:00
Antonelli behind will be pushing next lap, so normal pace down to 13, please.
17:03:18
Good to go when you're ready. Plan for fast double-cooled fast.
17:04:47
OK, recharge on and double cool. Antonelli finishing a lap behind.
17:04:54
Bearman possibly pushing now, so just need to watch him. He's four and a half back.
17:05:21
So plan double cool fast here. No one pushing behind at the moment.
17:05:44
OK, mate, so while we've got a second, just looking at run structures.
17:05:50
I'd say there's a possibility third lap on a soft is of interest. It could be worth us doing one more time lap on this run and then coming in and giving ourselves time to try for a third push on the next run on a new set. I don't know what you think.
17:06:09
Depends if you're doing a single or a mid-win.
17:06:13
I'd plan for double, honestly. Behind us, Leclerc, nine seconds on a timed. He's that sustainable running again, so six behind now, so second pull-up now, please.
17:06:35
So Leclerc two and a half.
17:07:09
So we're just going to keep tooling the tyres for the moment, please.
17:07:20
DRS at the moment, please. We've got Stroll on a time lap seven behind.
17:07:32
I think next car pushing behind Stroll is Russell. Might have done a single cool.
17:07:47
Completely clear track ahead. Standard alert from now, please. Ah, yes, Stroll. What is Stroll doing? Is he on a stenoval? So...
17:11:57
Yeah, pretty happy. Just a bit of low speed, understeer, apex, understeer, 2-end.
17:12:08
And there's that throttle pickup out of 10. Just go out on the first light.
17:16:17
OK, so she's braked out.
17:16:27
Optimate the gap with Stroll. We've got Ocon just going into turn one now, finishing a timed lap.
17:16:39
Let's be cool this time because we've got this prep planned.
17:16:58
Rechargeable DRS.
17:17:24
DRS to 13.
17:17:28
Shall I make a gap or not? No, because we're going for a prep lap, so all good here.
17:17:34
I would like to try though. Happy to try, in which case you need to make a gap to stroll. Brake shape 2. Brake shape 2 to make a gap to stroll.
17:17:49
Okay, that's fine, that's fine. Let's go for the prep. So now we're sticking to the safety car time, please. Stay negative on that this time. All as we discussed before, Bearman behind. Just watch for him, please. Could be pushing.
17:18:13
Bearman not pushing behind, so it's good. Clear of traffic at the moment.
17:18:20
Just working on that now.
17:18:29
Okay, so Franco in front is going to push next time. So we're going to need to make a gap for him.
17:18:36
Behind us, Hadjar pushing seven and a half.
17:18:45
So, Hadjar now, all behind, all low fuel, new soft.
17:18:53
We can follow him. Good gap here.
17:19:06
Hulkenberg four behind pushing. Got a good gap here.
17:20:08
Fantastic. OK, mate. So, let's back this off, then. We're going to have to watch the cars pushing through. I just have to really be...
17:20:27
We're a cool lap after this. Watch for Bearman pushing now, two behind.
17:20:36
We have Antonelli behind, likely pushing next time. He's just finished another tour. OK, mate, so I'm going to try and work out what we can fit in here. I think we should go for a cool lap first. Yep.
17:20:50
We're going to try for a single course, see if we can get away with it. I'll let you know.
17:21:06
OK, Hulkenberg, two and a half, could be pushing now.
17:21:13
And then Hadjar behind. He's on a slow lap. Hadjar could be pushing as well, even. Just watch for him. Place three back and then clear.
17:22:02
OK, mate, so we're going to push the next lap. Tyre temp's coming down nicely. We've got Ocon six behind. He is pushing.
17:22:28
OK, mate, so from Hadjar's second slow lap, he'll be pushing this time.
17:22:39
Hadjar will be pushing next time. Only him to go in front. Tyres are looking sensible here. The plan is fast, double cool fast. What's Alonso doing or Leclerc? Leclerc is pushing. Need to watch for him, please. All low fuel, new soft. I'd suggest you go now.
17:24:21
Recharge aft. So we're going to prioritise getting this tyre back in the right window. So we're going to go for two steady slow laps, double cool from this point. We're going to get time for one more push.
17:24:33
If we abort today, the second lap or the next lap, we might be able to push again. Watch for Franco, please. Could be pushing once he's through. Next car to black is Piastri pushing. Six seconds.
17:25:22
So, Carlos behind. We've got Leclerc on a push, seven and a half back. There is a bigger group behind him. All are slows at the moment.
17:25:50
So there is a group of about seven cars all bunched up just before entry 10. Hulkenberg coming through now, we'll be pushing next time he's on an outlap. We need to watch for Alonso on a timed coming through now, three back, going for a second straight.
17:31:12
So a couple of switch changes to do, please, on the way around to the grid. Scenario 1 to start with, please.
17:35:20
Okay, as soon as the car's back in the garage, we're going to get you jumped out so the car can go down to the weighbridge without delay.
17:35:33
Let's just make sure we're good with traffic across...
