11:55:57
I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90.
11:56:28
Anyway, so red light, a little over three minutes to go.
11:56:37
We're just going to keep the engine running for a while at this point.
11:57:20
Let's go to P1 now, please. P1.
11:57:26
Could have stayed in and just go behind Lawson.
11:57:30
Let's go to P2 now, please, P2 now.
11:57:43
OK, mate, so we're going to be firing up in a little under a minute's time.
11:58:04
So we're on target here to do our plan.
11:58:10
It sticks to that quick out lap that we talked about.
11:58:21
Okay, can we go to scenario 6, please, and SOC 4?
11:58:41
Okay, and an MG UK start, please.
11:58:49
Just over a minute to three miles.
12:00:00
Yeah, we'll keep you updated on timing. The intention is to try and do this lap to time schedule. Might ask you to abort. I'll let you know.
12:00:14
I can't do an out, straight in.
12:00:19
Stand by on that one. I'll prep us if you're pushing next lap. OK.
12:00:50
OK, so we can go recharge off, keeping it off until turn 5.
12:01:23
OK, so DRS unbelievable.
12:02:13
All right, Pierre, so we're looking at good braking prep. End of the lap. Let's try and get a lap in. There's a lot of people in the same situation. That's all right. You can help us later. So good prep. Let's not try and win it all at turn one. Get something on the board.
12:04:47
Double yellow, turn one, watch for Verstappen starting a lap behind me.
12:04:55
Track clear, so we'll go for a fast in lap and box now.
12:05:02
Lawson behind has finished the time lap.
12:05:13
No-one pushing behind. Fastest lap so far 0.42.4. We are P8 at the moment. Franco's first lap 44.05.
12:05:23
Recharge off please. Recharge off.
12:05:31
It wasn't as bad as I thought. The warm-up is not ideal, but without understeering, maybe it's not too bad. Yeah, I think we can only get better from here, mate, so stick with it. Good job.
12:05:51
OK, so we're going to go stock three when you can, not urgent. Stock three and keep your inlap pace up, please.
12:06:47
OK, so I believe there's a car there with suspension. No, he's not sure where it is. No, take him please.
12:12:13
Okay, there's going to be a bit of a wait before we start here. We're going to keep the engine running here. Right, listen, the plan, we're going to do this lap, come in, hit stop, and then go again. I'm going to be again first.
12:12:46
I want to be first on the last lap. Don't worry about that. I'll explain what we do when we get there, OK? But now let's focus on tyre prep. Let's get a good lap in. That's the most important. How much time do I need to wait now? Two minutes. Much less time than the first lap.
12:13:11
We're going to go exactly the same outlap approach as before. That was good.
12:13:21
Please work out the timing for the last turn. Yeah, we're working on it, all right. So, I need... ...brake shape one, please.
12:13:34
Be careful to get back in the garage for the tyre temps and not leave them out of the blankets. Yeah, I'll buy that one.
12:13:46
I don't want to wait in the garage, folks. Yeah, yeah, I understand. Leave it with me, alright?
12:14:10
Fuck, those sucker pre-bleeds suck, right?
12:14:51
20 seconds. Again, let's focus on that warm-up, you know, clear, track ahead, plenty of space.
12:15:37
OK, recharge off. Down to 5. Good job. Leaving at DRS.
12:15:57
Recharge off, please recharge off.
12:16:48
Okay, plan is a garage turnaround after this lap. Alright, let's push it.
12:18:59
Good God. Half. Last in lap, half.
12:19:03
Right, first car pushing behind. Seven seconds.
12:19:19
All medium brothers out there now. It's like five behind me.
12:19:39
Hadjar five behind him.
12:19:45
Up adjust for the medium tyre. Bringing the car back in the garage.
12:19:52
I've got three seconds.
12:20:10
Red flag, red flag. George Hulkenberg off turn 4, so no overtaking, please. Positive on the delta and the box.

12:31:50
So, going into turn one, we've got Hamilton. Need to watch for him. He's on a push lap.
12:32:01
Now you're clear. Recharge off DRS.
12:32:19
Let's garnish the clear track ahead. Bearman pushes the line seven seconds.
12:32:28
My steering is a bit uncool. Understood. Good luck.
12:32:40
F6 behind on a climb.
12:32:45
You've got a nice clear track ahead, no one in front.
12:32:56
Stand for the high-speed braking stops, please.
12:33:16
3-1-0 is approved and you're good to go. Let's not win it all, let's have one.
12:35:25
Recharge on, please. Red flag, no overtaking at the box.
12:35:34
It's like that when I'm out.
12:35:47
I'm just looking back, there was a big tailwind gust just before that lock-up. Probably didn't help.
12:36:53
Box is stopping up at the gap.
