11:29:37
I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90.
11:29:55
Happy to keep the engine on. And BSC deployed. Copy that.
11:30:18
That is double yellows on the pit straight.
11:30:42
On radio check exit of turn 2. Radio check exit of turn 2 loud and clear. That is loud and clear.
11:30:54
And BSC ending.
11:31:12
Ready attack turn 6. Turn 6 loud and clear.
11:31:19
Radio check turn 7. And turn 7 loud and clear.
11:31:29
And radio check into turn eight. I'll keep talking in case there's any dead zone through this area. Radio check, loud and clear. Radio check, turn eight.
11:31:47
And radio check into turn 11. Prepare to open the lap.
11:31:52
Radio check loud and clear. That is loud and clear. We need to put the headrest pads on when I come back in, if possible.
11:33:38
And recharge on single cool-down lap.
11:33:42
First car we expect to open a lap behind is Leclerc. He's on the start-finish straight now.
11:34:05
Leclerc to six seconds.
11:34:29
X-Carve pushing Russell two and a half seconds.
11:34:33
12 second gap behind Russell.
11:35:00
Leclerc may be in phase. There's a 12 second gap behind.
11:35:04
Copy. And feedback overlapping to turn one look good. Turn eight to eleven, mind the overlap. Copy.
11:36:51
Watch for Gasly opening close behind.
11:36:58
Recharge on cooldown. Next cast, five seconds to stroll.
11:37:06
Two seconds Stroll, behind him seven seconds Tsunoda.
11:37:11
Reminder, recharge on.
11:37:25
Two seconds, Tsunoda.
11:37:43
Four seconds, Albon.
11:37:54
Now a 14 second gap to any cars behind. Copy. These cones are good.
11:38:12
Feedback, Alex. Overlap a bit more to do in all corners, about five metres, and just take care of track usage. Turn 7, turn 10. Copy.
11:38:27
Track is slippery in turn 6, so as expected there is gravel being brought back onto the track.
11:40:21
Now watch for Russell opening close behind.
11:40:28
And recharge on is good. Six seconds to Leclerc. Alex, cool-down laps can be 20 seconds slower, so reduce speed on the straights. Three seconds Leclerc.
11:40:45
Leclerc may be in phase. Next car four seconds Verstappen.
11:40:58
Three seconds to stop it.
11:41:07
Three seconds to stroll. Watch for stroll. One second.
11:41:13
Track behind is clear.
11:41:49
Any feedback on driving? Would be nice to have some now, please.
11:41:57
Copy that, Alex. Suggest a double call, double call, so next lap will be another call lap. Copy.
11:42:30
And watch Sainz. Five seconds.
11:42:41
And Leclerc opening after Sainz. Leclerc three seconds behind Sainz.
11:42:50
Behind Leclerc is an 11 second gap.
11:42:55
And driving feedback, turn one, we can fill in phase one and two a bit more, stop the car more efficiently. And overlap, still some work to keep working on.
11:43:22
Next car pushing is Tsunoda. Eight seconds.
11:43:32
Five seconds, Tsunoda.
11:43:35
Pull. Brake.
11:43:45
And watch for Albon, two seconds.
11:43:50
And Gasly, three seconds.
11:44:03
And watch for Hulkenberg, four seconds.
11:44:14
Cars behind are in phase. Further driving feedback turn 4. We are braking 10 metres too late.
11:44:52
Of course, you're Antonelli.
11:46:09
And, Alex, we will abort and pit this run. Keep pushing. Lift off into the pit entry. Copy.
11:46:28
Recharge on and stop in front of Lando's garage. In front of Lando's garage.
11:46:59
Any reason for the abort or just a change of plan? That was to keep on time with the double cool.
11:57:27
Track behind is clear. We can have launch map on.
11:57:58
Cars behind are all on outlaps.
11:58:10
And launch feedback clock's drop was minus two, so that's good. Just keep focusing on stabilising the leg.
12:00:31
And recharge on is good. Double cool lap. Antonelli, leave the pits alongside you. Track behind is currently clear. Start closing a lap 12 seconds behind.
12:00:57
Cars are leaving the pitlane behind. They may be on faster outlaps for tyre temps. We want to go slow. Get the tyres back down.
12:01:17
And driving feedback, so turn 1 and turn 4, a bit too much risk taken with the grass verge on the positioning. Into turn 1, we're missing peak pressure, so focus on the braking inputs rather than the track positioning. You want to take a bit more margin there. OK, copy.
12:01:51
And, Alex, for info, Lando aborted his timed lap, but we're going to continue to plan. We just might extend to then get back in phase, but plan is for another cool-down and then
12:02:04
Copy. And five seconds, Albon. Watch for Albon.
12:02:22
Cool down lap, but watch the three cars directly behind. Expect to open laps.
12:02:29
That's yard two.
12:02:34
Three seconds to stroll.
12:02:42
And five seconds to Leclerc. He may be on another double, on another cool-down lap. Leclerc in phase.
12:03:01
Next car pushing now, Lando. He is on the main straight.
12:03:24
Four seconds, Lando.
12:03:58
Lando ahead has aborted. There's a pack of cars behind, they're in phase, so we can prepare the car to open. Copy. Any brake warm-up needed.
12:04:10
Just one hit into turn 11 will do.
12:04:15
Do you think we should do another cool? Because turn 9 is covered in gravel. Maybe a few people will clear it before we push again.
12:04:27
I don't expect cars to clear that.
12:04:34
Alex, suggest we do another call, stay in phase with the cars around. Yeah, copy. So, with tyre temps, we want to keep a bit of temperature in now. Let's focus on the front right. And just watch for any cars around who may be opening. Copy. Two seconds, Bortoleto.
12:04:56
Four seconds, Russell. And to brake warm-up into turn one.
12:05:10
Red flag. Red flag. Recharge. No overtaking. No overtaking.
12:06:22
Is there a red flag for the gravel? I believe so.
12:06:30
Yeah, copy. It is quite dangerous.
12:06:45
Maybe check the floor as well just to be safe. Yeah, will do.
12:07:14
And we're box this lap. Stop on the marks. Copy.
12:12:50
There's too many cars in the pitlane. I won't be able to do a bike point. Yeah, no worries. Out lap we'll need to focus on the tyre temperatures.
12:13:10
Do you have any toggle suggestions or should I stay as is?
12:13:22
Recommend stay as is. OK. Copy.
12:13:40
So focus points are turn 1 and turn 4. Brake, pressure and efficiency release.
12:14:47
Sainz is a lead car opening a lap now on pit straight.
12:15:00
So, we want to have high V-car end of straight with tyre temperatures. We'll need to work the tyres on this outlap and watch the traffic. Car's bunched about three seconds. Gap's behind you. And watch for Hulkenberg and Bortoleto, two seconds. Ocon, three seconds.
12:15:20
All cars behind are pushing.
12:15:25
One second, Bortoleto.
12:15:33
And two seconds, Ocon.
12:15:42
Four seconds, Bearman.
12:15:51
Two seconds, Bearman.
12:15:57
Seven seconds behind then is Lando.
12:16:13
Three seconds, Lando.
12:16:17
And suggest down one step brake balance if you want. Watch for Lando.
12:16:33
Just take care, tight hands will be cool into turn one.
12:17:32
Boys, what have you been doing?
12:18:00
And watch the cars opening behind.
12:18:05
Lawson close.
12:18:10
And recharge on. We can cool the tyres and I'll have some switches for continuous laps. Watch for traffic. Three seconds, Antonelli.
12:18:18
Four seconds behind Antonelli is Russell.
12:18:30
Copy. Bearman impeded me. Not that it matters to me, but later on in the weekend for you guys. Yeah, understood. It's been noted.
12:18:46
Alex, switch is for continuous laps. Can we have white H10 position 5?
12:19:03
White H9 position seven.
12:19:11
Strat 7.
12:19:21
And ACS button press.
12:19:30
So, Alex, we'll open the next lap into continuous laps. Just a reminder on track limits, turn seven, apex at turn ten and the entry grass in turn one. We want to keep some margin there.
12:19:42
Yeah, for this run, can you keep me updated please on driving to Lando and then general pace? Pace is not important, just to have an idea of where I am. Yeah, understood. You'll be the first car out onto continuous laps, so we'll give you references from there.
12:20:03
Copy. Is there a pace I should be starting at?
12:20:16
Difficult to say, but we want to find where the limits of the tyres are.
12:20:59
And purple default 0-alpha-X. Purple default 0-alpha-X.
12:21:16
And purple default 2-2-X. 2-2-X.
12:22:59
Turn 4 brake pressure looks improved. Let's keep working on turn 1.
12:23:05
Braking efficiency.
12:24:21
And suggest plus one step brake balance, rear slip management in phase 2.
12:25:13
And turn one reminder, a bit more margin to the verge there. We want to focus on the peak brake pressure and the release. Yeah, sorry.
12:25:31
Can you give me a pace update?
12:26:06
Alex, pace update. Don't be afraid to use the tyres for this stint. We're about a second off Albon on hard tyre. Stop it. Prudent step up in pace.
12:27:31
And push, Alex. We have boxed this lap for pitstop practice onto the medium. Back out.
12:28:18
Yeah, I need to put launch map on. Yeah, launch map on. We have boxed this lap.
12:28:25
Box for medium tyre.
12:28:36
Reminder, apply the brakes during the stop.
12:28:52
And Alex will be launching at the pit exit, so two burnouts, launch at the pit exit.
12:29:08
Launch map on. Launch map on.
12:29:25
Watch for Leclerc at the pit exit. We can go launch map off and start pushing.
12:29:32
Watch for Aaron just behind.
12:29:37
And there's yellow flags ahead, double yellows ahead for Russell. Stop BSE deployed, pre-charge on. And Russell is stopped just ahead on the left-hand side of the track into the second chicane.
12:29:53
Reminder, no overtaking. Confirm.
12:30:11
And launch feedback. Touch drop was plus three. Throttle very good.
12:30:24
And launch map on, Alex.
12:30:28
Alex, we'll be staying out and taking the flag. We're hopeful that this BSE will allow us to do the end of session grid launch. Confirm, launch is allowed, end of session, so we need to take the flag once more round.
12:31:28
And we take the flag. Still driving to VSC Delta and still double yellows for Russell Stoppage. Just take extra care there.
12:31:39
Copy. We can have strat 6.
12:32:12
Purple C13 position 4. Purple C13 position 4.
12:32:26
And ACS button.
12:32:45
Alex, we will be launching from the grid, so as discussed, that will be on the right-hand side target. Do not launch past any car that is ahead of you. The VSC will still be active, but we should treat it as normal, so the cars in the opposite grid box are okay. Once you're at turn 1-2, back to virtual safety car driving, so don't push turn 1-2. Confirm.
12:33:17
And before the launch we'll have a five-point bind and two burnouts. Right-hand side.
12:34:06
My phone find isn't doing anything on the dash. It's all good. Two burnouts.
12:35:00
Lloyd feedback, clutch drop was plus three. Throttle was good.
12:35:09
And Alex, continue with the VSC driving. We'll do a live pit stop. So VSC driving into a live pit stop.
12:35:35
Well, thank you again. It's always a pleasure. I wasn't as strong as Austria, but I still learned a lot, so thank you.
12:35:47
Yeah, thanks Alex. Busy session again, so well executed.
12:36:34
And box now. No hold grabs. It will just be engine off after the stop.
12:36:58
Sorry, that was a bit short.
12:37:03
Yeah, no worries. I can't quite see you from that far back, but all good.
