George Russell
16:55:37
So we are just under five minutes to formation lap. And tyre-wise, everyone is on medium tyres and new medium tyres are on P1 Verstappen all the way down to P7 Sainz. So people around us are on new medium.
16:57:11
Three minutes to formation lap.
16:57:42
Cat, so I'm going entry 7 just for lap 1, but remind me to get into 8 afterwards. Affirm.
16:58:10
Two minutes.
16:58:21
George, can we just have another radio check? Radio check.
16:58:31
Can you hear me? Yes, I can hear you. It's a little crackly, but it's OK. I can live with it.
16:58:39
And it will be blue default 68.
16:58:55
And 75 seconds. Fire up.
16:59:08
Limiter on.
16:59:25
Forty-five seconds. Make sure you've got pit limiter on.
16:59:45
Light point defined. 25 seconds.
16:59:55
Fifteen seconds.
17:00:33
Clutch was on target.
17:01:02
And George, so for a race start, we need to target 9.5.
17:01:26
Keep working the tyres. Doing a good job so far. And a reminder of that part throttle at turn 12.
17:02:09
And coasting from turn 19.
17:02:27
And we'll be two burnouts starting P19 Ocon, final burnout P12 Hadjar.
17:03:11
And I see strut. Five.
17:03:41
The last car approaching at the back of the grid.
17:04:27
All OK at the moment.
17:04:49
So that's Sainz at point six. Got Norris off at turn one.
17:04:58
Safety car, safety car.
17:05:02
So, strat 1 at delta positive.
17:05:17
So, keep tyres where they are.
17:05:25
So, significant debris turn 1. So, stay left at turn 1. I've also got Alonso stopped at turn 6. I've got Piastri stopped at turn 9. And reports of a front wing on the track at turn 10.
17:06:11
So just keep your eyes peeled between here and turn 10 for any debris.
17:06:48
Currently George not seeing any issues with suspension or tyres, so we are happy as we are.
17:06:59
Turn 6, there's just two pieces of debris, nothing crazy. Affirm, maybe more debris turn 10.
17:08:33
And green 7, position 5.
17:08:47
Recovery vehicle on track at turn 2.
17:09:02
A double yellow here.
17:09:12
2.0.
17:09:25
Where you can, just try and keep tyre temperatures in the same region.
17:10:34
Two other drivers still reporting lots of debris. Turn 1 to turn 11.
17:11:28
No, double yellow here still, turn one.
17:11:57
And there's a recovery vehicle on track, turn 9.
17:12:51
And how is the track looking now, George? Looks fine. Yeah, there was some debris at turn three. I'll just clear it now. Yeah, it's just very... everything's very small.
17:14:19
So safety car is in this lap.
17:14:35
So we'll be 14 laps remaining when you get going.
17:15:18
Set tyres at a good place. Set your B-Bal for turn 1. It will be strat 5 for the restart.
17:15:35
Safety car, turn 15.
17:15:46
17, so it can't go alongside. Safety car at 18.
17:18:02
Gap behind one second DRS enabled.
17:20:13
And happy to ignore those oxidation warnings.
17:21:54
I'll just get these surface temperatures back under control here, George.
17:24:19
Nine laps remaining. Does that mean any track limit straights?
17:24:32
Adjust your one at turn 12.
17:26:10
So now we've got two strikes, both at turn 12.
17:27:02
So it looks like they're about three laps behind on track limits here. Coming for that turn 12 one way max. Shouldn't really be counted as a race.
17:28:24
It's probably best to stop working.
17:29:12
We still see the cooling vest as working. Six laps remaining.
17:32:30
Four laps remaining.
17:33:15
So, double yellow, turn 1. So, safety car, safety car.
17:33:23
Delta positive.
17:34:04
I'll just continue to bring those tyre casings down.
17:34:26
So we've got a recovery vehicle on track at turn 1. Stay to the inside of the corner. The incident is on the outside.
17:34:41
Keep a lookout for debris.
17:34:50
Then there is a double yellow, 3-4-5, Stroll stops on track. So keep left at 10-3.
17:36:56
So we've got two four laps here.
17:37:05
Still showing double yellow at turn 1 and turn 345.
17:37:36
Have they moved those cars yet, George?
17:37:41
I'm moving to turn three. Safety car should slow down a bit and then we'll get this last lap underway.
17:38:11
Keep the tyres where they are now.
17:39:27
So this is the final lap.
17:40:31
And, George, if we do stay behind the safety car, the in-lap, then remember it's no overtaking.
17:41:28
So the lights are off on the safety car. He'll probably pull into the pitlane. Reminder, there's no overtaking to the finish line. So just keep your position.
17:41:55
There's been no overtaking, even after the flag.
17:42:02
So, snowstrap 1. We'll have green 1. Green 3, position 1. Pick up rubber where you can.
17:42:21
So, yeah, nice job there.
17:42:30
Gosh, that was a good send.
17:42:34
Yeah, I knew that was the only chance. I had to betray it.
17:43:17
Safety car condition has now cleared. Anyone wants to overtake, you are staying on track. Back round onto the grid.
17:44:32
So you'll be staying on track coming round to the grid.
