15:05:10
So we're happy for a second. It's a relatively slow lap here. I've just got Esteban starting in time and now Bearman, the car behind. He's fast lap coming through now. So Sainz will be starting in time lap, I think, unless he's on double-cooler. Just watch him. Four back. Sainz pushing two back. Sainz one back. Sainz pushing now. Bearman behind on out lap.
15:05:48
Okay, so I've got Piastri six seconds back behind Leclerc pushing. Just looking at some braking into turn six.
15:06:00
Okay, got Piastri one and a half coming through now. So, yeah, Pierre's just a little bit smoother on the brake application into 6.
15:06:10
MSS Stroll five back on a time lap.
15:06:16
Stroll, three back now. OK, now Alonso, the car behind, coming through one. Back, Alonso, coming through now.
15:06:32
If we just get a little bit of temperature into the brakes as well, help us into one. And a good gap on track here.
15:08:12
Yeah, behind, he's starting a time-lapse perhaps. Let me double-pull here, just let him go through.
15:08:22
Stroll behind has just finished a time-lap. So we've got double cool here. Again, mate, I think driving through the pitlane just helped those temperatures. Question on flap, would you like an adjustment?
15:08:36
It's a problem. What's a win in turn 7 or turn 6? It's very strange.
15:08:52
Stroll, hello. OK, back in a second, we'll wait for Sainz 3, that time lap is coming up now. Sainz 1 and a half back on a time lap. After that, Stroll is a slow lap.
15:09:03
That's the world lap time. OK mate, we've just got Piastri 5 back for a time lap.
15:09:28
Yeah, I think the wind's just turned around a little bit there in 6-7, so you've got a tailwind through 7 now, and as you're coming through 6 it's giving you a little bit more of a tailwind effect as you exit.
15:09:44
Copy, and we'll just stop, go up one turn and go again.
15:10:37
Speed eleven when you can. Ocon just coming through turn one now. He's starting a time lap here, so Ocon's coming past now.
15:11:12
Ted Norris is the next car back.
15:15:43
Grab some comments. I think it's quite clear in data where we're losing to. Yeah.
15:30:14
Go, go, go, go, go.
15:30:27
Car behind us now, Hulkenberg. It's just a time-lapse, we're in sync with those around us. We just need to push the last sector and break temperatures if we can. Hulkenberg on a slow lap, he might be coming in, so let him go. We're 11 seconds clear to Pierre exiting the pitlane.
15:31:30
There's also time to gain, just braking in one. We brake early and then we seem to come off a bit earlier. Pierre's just going a bit later and holding mid-brake pressure for longer in there.
15:31:46
It's holding, I have heat pressure just that little bit longer to stop the car. So I'll be happy to push. Let's go from turn 10, please.
15:32:03
Turn your charge off and let's go.
15:33:26
We're going to need aero, E3, 6th gear after turn 3. Lawson coming through now. Next car back is Pierre Gasly. Aero, E3, 6th gear after turn 3.
15:33:45
Good gap to Lawson. I had to pull up.
15:34:01
Thank you for that. So, currently, got Sainz seven and a half back from a time lap.
15:34:14
Practice pitstop. Sainz, five seconds back time lap.
15:34:23
Time's three and a half lap time left.
15:35:31
Think about those couple of changes. It's a bit tight to go back on that front one. Let's just talk more in the garage. We'll just have a think about that.
15:45:19
I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90.
15:47:32
I think we can go one quick rearwards up high for turn three.
15:48:58
Balance speed back when you can, please mate.
15:49:09
Give us a pile of speed back when you can.
15:49:44
Oversteer at 3.0, oversteer at 3.0.
15:49:52
I'm going to try entry 10 here to help entry 10.
15:50:51
We do see a little bit of surface overheating. Let's just try and protect rears on traction as much as we can. I know it's tricky.
15:51:19
Go forward a little bit on bias, help from those micro locks in 1 and 3.
15:52:01
Turn one and four. Just think about brake application as a whole.
15:53:12
We could either try mid 5 or brake 5.
15:53:26
OK, we're in perfect jam here.
15:54:22
There's about five laps remaining in this, whether we want to just try and make this gap to Lewis ahead if we can't get by.
15:54:35
If you can, just drop back a little bit, but let's not lose Verstappen. If we can help him, please. We're a bit tricky here.
15:54:50
We've got Verstappen two and a half seconds back, so we're in a little bit of a difficult spot. I think too big a gap.
15:56:43
If you have anything left in high speed, happy to push there a little bit more.
15:59:34
Might have to go get the checkered flag at the end of this one.
16:00:20
Let's check it back. Let's cool the car and go do a grid start.
16:01:22
So the start on the right-hand side.
16:01:34
There's going to be two burnouts, please mate, just a reminder about no braking between the burnouts. Right hand side start.
16:02:45
Everybody, it'll be a pitstop for us, a practice pitstop.
16:03:58
This is a reference, that was a 20.5 on your box entry, so that's the power and speed that we're looking for.
16:04:09
We'll review in the garage tonight, er, in the office tonight. We'll just get you back in the garage and we'll grab some comments and we'll get a debrief properly upstairs.
