Radio check.

12:57:19

So, tyre info. The first car starting on soft tyre is the P10 Gasly and the next car is P13 Hadjar, P14 Colapinto, P15 Bearman and then P20 Hulkenberg. The other cars are all on new medium tyres.

12:58:21

Let's just have a think about diff mid as well. MC coming up.

12:58:55

75 seconds. Fire up.

12:59:08

Limiter on. One minute.

12:59:25

Forty-five seconds.

12:59:45

Bite point defined. 25 seconds.

13:00:33

Flux was 1% shallow.

13:01:09

Keep working those tyres. Good job so far.

13:01:32

So we've still got Sainz. He's still got the grid.

13:01:44

I've got a yellow turn 10.

13:01:48

So we've got start aborted.

13:01:56

So we return to the grid in your original position.

13:02:03

Switch the car to P1 and the crew will come to you.

13:02:12

Think about putting the set of mediums on? Yeah, you can. Yeah, we got it.

13:03:13

You still have that back of the dry ice.

13:04:37

So, it will be a formation lap starting 15.15.

13:04:45

That's just over. Minutes.

13:05:27

I'm just going to stand up, if that's OK? Yeah, you've got nine minutes and 30 seconds.

13:07:22

No transcript available

13:07:36

Radio check. Yeah, radio is loud and clear, but just seven and a half minutes until formation lap starts.

13:08:08

Just let me know, George, if you want any flap adjust. Happy to stay where you are.

13:08:16

Stay where we are. Copy.

13:09:41

Make sure there's plenty of water for the mechanics. Everyone's dripping.

13:10:10

Five minutes to formation lap.

13:12:10

Three minutes.

13:13:10

Two minutes.

13:13:55

75 seconds. Fire up.

13:13:59

Pitlane, you're top.

13:14:10

One minute.

13:14:15

And we'll need a Strat 1 for the whole formation lap here.

13:14:44

Eight point five. Twenty five seconds.

13:14:54

And there'll be no full load after turn 3. That's for PU calling.

13:15:08

No transcript available

13:15:30

Clutch 2% shallow.

13:16:06

Keep working those tyres.

13:16:12

Almost back on track with P.U.

13:16:30

So target 1-0-9, turn 9.

13:16:43

So we'll be coasting from turn nine.

13:16:58

There will be two burnouts starting at P19 Sainz, final one at P12 Albon.

13:17:41

I see strut 5.

13:17:55

Last car approaching back of the grid.

13:19:06

Safety car, safety car, so staying out, staying out. Strat 1.

13:19:17

So confused with Leclerc there. He was trying to help your Lewis.

13:19:23

So incident is turn three. Kimi and Verstappen are both out of the race here. Both out the car.

13:19:47

Reset P-B.

13:19:59

Just keep your eyes open for any debris turn 3. It's a double yellow at turn 3.

13:22:20

So, as you're doing, keep the fronts where they are. We've got a safety car in this lap.

13:22:47

And we'll be strat 5 for the restart, so we can go strat 5 now.

13:22:55

DRS controlling the pace. Safety car, turn 8.

13:23:07

Safety car approaching turn 9.

13:24:24

Describe the door under braking. Yeah, point four.

13:24:39

Gap 0.6 DRS enabled. Gap ahead of Lewis one second.

13:24:49

Lewis will have DRS.

13:25:49

Gap ahead of Lewis, 1.5.

13:27:01

Strat 13 available. Gasly behind. We'll have DRS.

13:28:12

Gasly, 1.1 doesn't have DRS.

13:29:32

So, traction metrics looking good so far, just below our limits.

13:30:32

So just keep an eye on that rear left temperature, pacing temperature. Albon two seconds behind.

13:30:44

Yeah, I've got to learn it, mate. There's not much I can do.

13:32:24

Any advice for that rear lap? Try just going up and up. Yeah, just 9-10 management.

13:32:42

We believe it's starting to stabilise, but it's still that 9-10 management.

13:34:17

Just think about more lift and coast here. Turn 3, turn 4.

13:34:36

3M wood shoulder again. Same as once. Copy.

13:35:45

And update me on your tyres. Still target plus zero. They feel right.

13:35:56

If I push the fronts, I'm just understeering, but the rear is dropping loads. All four tyres overheating.

13:37:28

Target minus two.

13:37:52

So, closer with Albon currently. Forecast just ahead of pit exit.

13:38:08

And Albon just pitted again. Albon has pitted again. Not sure why. Taking another step this time.

13:38:40

Just keep doing what you're doing at the moment. Just gonna have to bide our time here.

13:39:20

Give me a pallet update.

13:39:31

I've currently got everything, mate, so just keep it as it is. Yeah, copy. Good, minus 0.3.

13:40:03

So it'll be box, box this lap, George. Box, box this lap.

13:41:33

Reset diff high speed.

13:41:40

I think Gasly will be about a second and a half behind on exit.

13:41:50

So just keep on top of that turn 9-10 management.

13:42:04

Let me know where you think the wear is coming from. Yeah, we'll feedback as soon as I know that. It's target plus two.

13:44:26

Let me know. I'll shoot him in the tiger.

13:44:40

So from a previous set, we're not an issue. Just looks like that high speed sliding.

13:45:23

So, right now, George, the important thing is to hit our next stop, so target plus two.

13:46:08

So the Ferrari is currently doing 11.0 for reference.

13:46:35

Going to turn blue 8 off turn 1.

13:47:44

Yeah, we do need to overtake these two cars ahead.

13:50:24

OK, good job there, mate.

13:51:05

So, as we said, that first stint was not tyre wear related, it was all thermal degradation.

13:52:17

And turn three, turn four, lift and coast looks very helpful.

13:55:09

The tyre temps have stabilised here. I'll let you know when they start dropping.

13:55:51

Green 7, position 5.

13:56:03

So, you've got Bortoleto doing 10.7 behind, matching those paces, those lap times.

13:56:32

The tyre's in phase three now.

13:58:11

OK, George, so now these tyres are dropping, let's start closing that gap down to Alonso and opening the gap to Bortoleto.

13:58:24

Bortoleto is a 10.6 last lap.

13:58:39

And happy to push it for turn 6. So Alonso car ahead is on a one-stop here.

14:00:47

That was a 10.5. Just keep opening that gap.

14:01:32

Alright, switch to normal.

14:01:43

I'm not seeing that man on the race. Affirm, so target plus five.

14:02:15

I think about diff high speed for turn 6.

14:05:27

Alonso, last lap was 10.7. He's just on the bubble of our window.

14:08:47

Just give me a balance update, George.

14:08:59

We've got massive understeer currently, but the rear is doing a much better nick than we did in the last lap. Yeah, copy. That was temperature on exit 2.

14:09:14

We're happy to get a speed now, if that will help, but go on.

14:09:19

If you all balance, that would take me five.

14:09:28

Cars are too unstable in front turn 10 if I open high speed.

14:09:57

So, target plus eight.

14:11:20

George, Hadjar doing 10.2 just outside of our pit window, if you've got any more pace.

14:13:00

OK, so box this lap, George.

14:13:17

Box, box. Be close with Hadjar on exit. Watch white line and limiter.

14:13:47

Reset diff high speed, diff entry and overtake available on exit.

14:14:47

OK, so introducing these tyres as you did in that middle stint in the high speed.

14:15:01

Please try to switch down the way for the medium.

14:15:56

Laptime 0.02 ahead.

14:16:09

So 10.0. A pair of them have been pushing each other hard. 23 laps remaining.

14:19:21

Let's see how much oversteer I'll have into there. Well, not the diff post.

14:19:37

Yeah, copy that, George. We see it. It's surface temperatures just well outside the window.

14:20:07

What's the tyre rate for you guys? Alonso, 17 lap whole.

14:22:55

George, I know you're fighting. Do keep an eye on those at that rear left limit.

14:25:29

Nice job, sir. 15 laps remaining.

14:28:04

So, er, temps will start dropping in the next couple of laps.

14:28:57

And information Bortoleto doing 9.9 just outside our...

14:29:09

Bortoleto doing 9.9 just outside our safety car window.

14:30:18

So, tyres are starting to drop now, George. So, happy to start picking up the pace. Turn 6, turn 7.

14:30:34

That'll be impossible to log off. No entries from anything in the rear.

14:30:46

And then there's masses of apex understeer.

14:33:37

Eight laps remaining.

14:33:48

So the rear surfaces are outside the window, all the way through the corner, fronts are nicely in there on the entry. So think about slight front and fore entry.

14:34:59

George also suggests dropping that lifted coast.

14:37:07

Five laps remaining.

14:38:33

George, can you let me know if this is the current pace?

14:38:44

You know the answer. Thank you.

14:39:00

Three laps remaining when you cross the line.

14:39:12

All that I've got, I cannot attack any corners because of the rear, and then I just washed it out with a massive understeer. OK, thanks.

14:39:30

Three laps remaining.

14:40:40

Strat 5. Two laps remaining.

14:41:49

Final lap. Overtake. Exit turn 1. Exit turn 10.

14:43:02

OK, so that's P5.

14:43:08

Green 1, position 12. Strap 14. Pick up rubber where you can, please.

14:44:19

Yeah, a very tough race. It can't be any more clear coming from Canada. The goodness there and then the struggles here, but... Yep.

14:44:34

Yeah, George, a lesson in humility, but yeah, well driven to the end. It was for sure not an enjoyable race.

14:44:46

Yeah. Yes.
