13:05:07
I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90.
13:05:27
It's a good time to overtake him.
13:06:20
Brake, brake, 5. Brake, brake, 5.
13:10:33
I'll stick with that left of course once again.
13:13:19
At the front of this group is Fernando in P5.
13:14:42
Sir, no rain for the next 30 minutes. Expect to power the tyres, please.
13:15:09
Copy that. Will advise if needed.
13:16:07
Help to take the front a bit more. Either dip mid three or take a lift in 11th.
13:17:29
It's a grip for Hulkenberg, 11 seconds off the back of the grid now. He has a five second penalty for a false start.
13:18:52
Hulkenberg in free air. He's finding most of his time. Turn 1, 2, 5 and the last 3.
13:20:16
That is so grand. It's quite a bit more painful. Yeah, understood. OK, lift in post, please, as well.
13:22:39
So front left looks okay to us at the moment. Happen to increase lifting 11 if needed.
13:24:29
Focus with the exit of turn 5. I'll stop Albon, Ocon and Franco.
13:25:06
Sorry, it's so dark in the rear.
13:25:26
Let's start with a bit of lip post, that will help.
13:25:51
Yeah, that forwards brake bias, one click least, one and a half. Both safety car windows are now open.
13:26:51
Happy to go to Diff 4 to support the rear if needed as well.
13:27:41
Those cars have fresh tyres and clean air, lapping 22.0.
13:29:38
OK, phase and status update when you can.
13:30:14
Okay, good feedback. Car behind now, Hulkenberg, three seconds.
13:30:28
I've got a medium tyre, five laps fewer than I was.
13:32:24
APF, we're looking at plan C. Everything looking good to us.
13:32:49
Hulkenberg 1.1 behind. Just behind him. Another second is for Verstappen. Eraser poke.
13:33:48
Staff the car behind. Four-lap hold hard.
13:34:13
Verstappen 0.8 with DRS. Hulkenberg 1.5 behind him.
13:37:00
Halfway point six with DRS. Sainz two and a half seconds behind him.
13:37:59
On track, turn 14, as best you can.
13:43:35
Single press on the start finish every lap available.
13:45:50
It's a push more for 3 and 11 if there's anything left there.
13:47:00
I think we're thinking plan D.
13:48:15
Medium tyre 1. Turn off.
13:48:31
Clear pit exit, so we're going for plan C here, back to plan C.
13:48:57
Just manage turn 11 on these first laps, please.
13:50:52
With Bearman on fresh hard slack at 22.5.
13:51:17
Fail B, 0-0, OK. Fail B, 0-0, OK.
13:52:14
Put on that little post-Mortman twirl, please.
13:53:02
The race leader, Leclerc, seven and a half seconds behind. He's only a couple of tenths quicker at the moment.
13:53:59
OK, so Hadjar and Berman in front, going to the end. It's a big group, we think we're going to have to stop again, so standby for updates on that.
13:54:57
OK, we're very consistent. No other changes expected on that.
13:55:21
No rain expected for the next 30 minutes.
13:55:46
Also Thurman in front now, being consistently quicker than him.
13:56:43
Right, so there's another six cars in front in our pit where they're both going to have to, again, malfunction this P12, effectively.
13:57:09
And there is the Permanent.
13:59:27
Brake control, keep up. I think 29 laps to go.
13:59:40
That's another piece of Hadjar, isn't it? Good job.
14:02:13
Piastri, the race leader, four and a half behind.
14:04:59
Okay, so Piastri. Procedure is boxed. Hamilton, we're racing four and a half behind.
14:06:44
Good job. Let's push up.
14:07:16
Ocon ahead, much slower, lapping 23.0.
14:07:39
Ocon and Sainz in front trying to go to the end. About 30 lap hold hards. Much slower cars.
14:08:38
No tyre management required at this stage.
14:09:28
Hamilton's bait gate behind us, 6-7.
14:10:37
Norris, the race leader, five behind.
14:11:22
Four seconds behind him is Albon who are racing. He's lapping 21.
14:11:46
Let's get our focus on Ocon and Sainz in front.
14:12:13
The next blue flag after Norris is about 10 seconds further.
14:13:09
Norris two seconds behind. Nineteen laps to go. Seize through.
14:14:33
This is Sainz box. Albon 4 behind. Last lap 21.1.
14:16:20
Piastri now, 2.2 behind his MP2.
14:16:33
I'm Piastri, 1.1 is Albon.
14:17:00
I'll walk 1.8 behind him.
14:18:43
Next blue flag is Leclerc. Four seconds back, three cars.
14:20:04
I was behind Albon, six lap newer hearts. Hulkenberg, nine lap newer mediums.
14:21:23
Yeah, give me everything. You've got overtake or sock five available. Sock five for two, lads.
14:22:23
You've got a diff mid. 1.4 behind Albon and Leclerc and Russell racing.
14:23:14
OK, good job for Leclerc and Russell. Now the car's behind two seconds.
14:24:09
OK, blue flag Leclerc. He's got Russell less than a second behind him. Eleven to go.
14:25:08
Russell and Leclerc close behind Sainz. One second behind both of them.
14:26:58
90.4. I have no grip, for fuck's sake!
14:28:18
I think something is broken. Hello, focus on anti-overtake where you can, Conqueror 0.6.
14:28:45
Yeah, I can't control anything.
14:30:41
I absolutely know something is wrong.
14:31:20
You don't leave me any fucking space.
14:31:28
OK, we'll have a look at that, mate. Alright. We're under investigation for a turn 1 incident. We need to keep going, please.
14:31:45
Tsunoda, point nine.
14:35:15
OK, three laps to go. Unfortunately, we have a ten second penalty for that crash with Sainz.
14:36:14
Copy that. Head down for the last two laps. See if we can get Ocon in front.
14:41:08
Combinated with one medium. So, our medium run was a total of 37 laps.
14:41:25
Yeah, I think they can go to the main distance.
14:41:28
Yeah, we've got our manningsworth out of a few bits on this car this time.
14:41:34
Anyway, that was a long one, so dreams to manage is on the way in.
