Fernando Alonso
12:54:27
OK, Fernando, ready to check? Yeah, all good. So that's five and a half minutes now.
12:57:09
Fernando, just a radio check for the pit wall. Yep.
12:57:41
Okay, so two and a half minutes to go. Tyres are in, so most of the fronts are on medium.
12:57:49
We think Antonelli is medium as well. He's the car ahead of you. And then Gasly is soft tyre. And then behind Albon's on medium as well.
12:58:02
Behind Albon you've got Hadjar, Colapinto, Bearman. They're all on soft. Back of the grid, Hulkenberg, soft as well.
12:58:12
That's why I see five cars soft. Gasly ahead of you, and then three cars behind Albon, and then Hulkenberg at the back.
12:59:08
And that's now one minute.
12:59:33
So, Fernando, when you do the launch, we're happy to make a bit of space immediately and then we can do some fast up to turn one with a bit of weaving. Happy to make a bit of space in turn one as well, because priority after that is to be fast up to turn three.
13:00:27
If you can try and get some high speed before turn one with a bit of weaving, you can make a bit of space in turn one. Launch was minus six.
13:00:46
High-speed weaving all the way to turn three if you can. That'll be a 1.50 lift. 1.50 lift before turn three.
13:01:06
Weaving down to turn four. Keep up the speed if you can. We've got Sainz is still on the grid. I'll let you know.
13:01:19
Let's get 200 left into turn four, 200 left into turn four.
13:01:28
A little bit of space in turn four and then another bit of high-speed weaving. We can try and push all the way through six and seven.
13:01:50
OK, Fernando, start is aborted so we'll be going back to the grid and we can switch on. Stay out, go back to the grid.
13:02:04
You get any chance of taking a little bit of full load just for charge.
13:02:08
I don't think we'll get it. I think we'll be slow.
13:02:29
OK, so Sainz has cleared the grid now.
13:02:37
So we'll pull up into this grid position and then you can switch off and we'll restart the grid procedure. We will get notice.
13:04:51
We have got a restart time. It's now 10 minutes and 10 seconds.
13:07:34
That's now seven and a half minutes to go. So, when we do get going, it will be a normal formation lap to normal race start, so we expect a standing start. And just a reminder, it will be a 70 lap race now, 7-0.
13:07:58
They are not the tyres, you don't need to tell me every straight. We cannot do everything, so we just keep the temperatures cold and tyres, we will deal with them. Yeah, copy that, OK. Well, you know our target anyway. Good job on the weaving. Just on the cooling actually, so we were quite hot. So we'll need a bit more lift and coast. I was doing half of the straight, lift and coast. I cannot tell you, the temperature of the seat is maybe 200 degrees.
13:08:44
Copy that. So, recommendation from us, let's see, I've got a number, into turn three, four and nine would be 250 metres, but I appreciate that you're trying your best.
13:08:55
I will cool the car. I will not warm the tyres. We'll do one step at a time.
13:10:10
Five minutes now.
13:12:43
That's two and a half minutes now, just on the pack level. When you've done the launch on the formation lap, just do a full lift straight away. That's just to cancel DRS. Do the formation lap launch and then just a full lift.
13:15:28
Launch was minus eight.
13:15:46
As you will do, a bit of high speed weaving and then a big lift.
13:15:51
250. It's a three out four.
13:16:05
We believe no compound changes for other guys on the grid.
13:16:30
You can lean through 6 and 7 but it will need another big lift before turn 9. Recommend 250.
13:17:06
It will be three burnouts. Remember, press and hold K0. Three burnouts.
13:17:45
Let's see if you can do a run to each race once you come to a stop. We are watching.
13:18:01
Minus 26.
13:19:07
Safety car, safety car.
13:19:11
Make sure delta is positive. Staying out for now. You can do run, switch and call.
13:19:55
So it's double yellow at turn three. You've got Verstappen, Antonelli off.
13:20:02
Can you tell the car not to spend any more energy? Which position I have to go? Why it keeps deploying?
13:20:13
Right, full throttle into 3, if you can now, and then watch double yellow. So you're getting double yellow. Yeah, I'm full throttle, but I have to press. Yeah, OK. I'll come back to you. Watching double yellow now.
13:20:39
Okay, so it should start recovering now, that pack.
13:20:50
Let's use K0 on the start-finish straight.
13:21:39
Just use K0, get this straight. I'm happy to press it early.
13:21:58
You can press K0 again, we shouldn't need it, but recommend you press K0.
13:22:18
Watch out the double yellow, just watch that front left temp the way you can. That's stable.
13:22:25
Second car will be in this lap.
13:24:00
Cars behind both fighting, but they're soft out.
13:25:52
Energy's still good if you need it. Starting lap 6 now. Bearman behind this soft tyre.
13:28:14
The banishment level is okay for us for now. This is okay.
13:31:47
Starting lap 11 now. I'll take some tyre feedback when you can.
13:31:55
The rear is not great, but traction.
13:32:16
Tyres still coming up, so lift at coast is going to keep helping. We can try torque 12 if you need.
13:33:11
Bearman. Bearman has stopped. He's got Colapinto's soft tyre two seconds back.
13:34:41
A lot of the soft starters are pitting now, but we're not going to react to them. Staying on plan.
13:35:23
Car behind is Ocon, two and a half back, medium tyre.
13:35:35
Now on lap 40.
13:36:35
Not urgent, but I'll just take an air of balance and just, what do you have?
13:36:46
I'm finishing the rear left. OK, copy.
13:37:47
Starting lap 16 now. Just watch late traction 1 and 3. I know it's difficult. Late traction 1 and 3.
13:38:01
And for us, Fernando, with what we're seeing from others, we are on plan A.
13:38:58
OK, so tyres are past the peak now, so we should start to recover something on the rear. For info, Albon has retired.
13:40:22
Fernando, just keep up the lift at coast for PU temps as well, so at least 100 metres. That's around what you've been doing. Last couple of laps you did a bit less.
13:42:45
Okay, so Ocon, who's probably on a similar plan to you, he's just pitted. The two cars ahead are on probably the same plan as well as you. The cars that stop from the soft... I'll come back to you.
13:43:00
Cars that start on the soft are all very similar pace. Gasly is the lead car of those ones. He's only about three tenths quicker than you, so this pace is really good.
13:44:05
This pace is not real. As soon as I lose the DRS, you will see the real pace. So, you decide.
13:45:10
Track temp the same as the start of the race, so we are happy to keep trying to get the DRS.
13:46:40
Fifty Lyco into four if you can. Just fifty.
13:47:20
So now starting lap 24, currently looking at plan A plus three, but keep us updated on the tyres.
13:47:34
BP on. We stop when he stops. Pull up later. Copy.
13:47:55
Repeat HVP.
13:48:45
Building low speed. Do you still feel aerobalance is okay? Or did you take the fall?
13:48:51
I don't know, mate. I need 30 laps behind a car within one second thanks to his pace. We have this pace, so I need all of this radio communication as well. I'm fighting for the life here, mate.
13:49:57
Leclerc has just pitted behind you. Won't be in our race. He's one second back.
13:51:26
Next hop behind us, handball turn, three back, new tyre.
13:52:35
Just remind us small lift to coast into turn 4, please.
13:53:40
Man, Hamilton was a bit late. Had to go off to avoid the incident, but all good. A bit of coffee, it was something. OK, let's just get back on the road. We did a good job.
13:58:10
Also be shape 11. Make 11.
13:58:23
OK, shape turn, so big lift at coast, into 3, into 4. Big lift at coast, 200 a lap.
13:59:07
Box this lap. Check brake balance. Box this lap. OK. Box, box.
13:59:24
Pire green, dry aisle.
13:59:40
It should be close to Colapinto at pit exit. He should be half a second behind. He's 20 laps all-medium.
14:00:52
Thirty-five laps to go. Thirty-five to go. Remember the lifted coast at the high-speed introduction. Ten laps.
14:03:14
Thank you, Fernando. If you want, you can do strat 11. That will give you the D-rate at turn 6 and 7.
14:04:37
It would take a little bit more management in turn 9.
14:09:16
Ahead of Lawson, there's Ocon and the two Saubers. The two Saubers will have to stop again. Ocon might, and they'll come out behind you, so the fight could be at the end of the race.
14:12:35
That's now 25 to go. 25 to go.
14:14:55
So Russell is car behind. Four seconds back he stopped P5, so we don't want to lose too much time with him when he gets to us.
14:19:48
So you are currently P6. You've got Russell two back. Remember, he's not in our race, so don't lose time with him. We'll try and keep DRS.
14:20:59
To confirm, all the two stoppers have stopped. The Saubers went behind the McLarens. They're currently controlled by McLaren, so it's looking pretty good for us.
14:21:57
17 laps to go. Russell is on 12-lap new attire. Let's see, maybe the DRS helped us.
14:24:19
Recommend left toggle for high-speed rotation.
14:26:52
So it's 13 laps to go. Car behind is Bortoleto. Nine seconds. He will catch us towards the end of the race. It'll be close for a lapping event as well, so we'll be close at the end of the race.
14:30:11
That's now ten laps to go. Ten to go.
14:30:25
Bortoleto now 7.5 back. Nine tenths last lap.
14:31:33
So we agree keeping DRS is critical. We're happy with what you're doing with tyres. It will be close with Bortoleto at the end and a lapping event as well. I'll keep you updated.
14:32:32
If you may see Tsunoda at pit exit, he will get blues for us, OK?
14:33:42
Seven laps to go.
14:36:01
So five laps to go with a lapping event. Lead cars Norris, Bortoleto three behind.
14:36:15
Tsunoda was told to stay behind you.
14:37:24
Tsunoda has blue flags for Bortoleto, so he'll be car behind Bortoleto now.
14:39:48
And that's two more laps with a lapping event. Norris 1.6 behind Bortoleto.
14:40:33
Bortoleto has blues for Norris. Norris close behind Bortoleto.
14:40:47
Strat 6. Blue flag Norris. Blue flag Norris car behind. Bortoleto close behind him.
14:41:00
We expect Bortoleto to take another blue from Piastri who's behind him.
14:41:45
So, this is now the last lap. This will be the chequered. Bortoleto has blues for Piastri.
14:41:58
Excited to check a P7, mate. Well done. P7. Awesome. Well managed. Awesome.
14:42:26
And then it's your favourite, MFB blue override position 12.
