Fernando Alonso
18:54:08
Thumbs up, Fernando.
18:54:39
Yeah, ready to check.
18:54:43
Radio check. 1-2-3. Dex, if you can, just five and a half minutes as well. Radio check, Fernando. Yep, both OK. It's a track temp the same as it was last grid.
18:56:15
OK, Fernando, ready to check from the pit wall? Yep. All good. Three minutes 45 now. The tyres are in, so majority's on medium. You've got Leclerc P3 soft, Bortoleto P16 and Lance P19, they're soft as well. So there's three cars on soft, P3, P16, P19, and there's three cars at the back on hard tyre as well. Ocon, Albon, P17, P18 and Agile P20. Three cars soft, three cars hard, everyone else medium.
18:59:09
OK, that's one minute.
18:59:14
You know the formation lap advice from yesterday, it's similar. It's everything you can in the high speed I'm weaving. I will reiterate the lifts as we go.
19:00:16
I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90.
19:00:28
Launch is minus 18, having to make a bit of space in one and lean all the way to turn 11.
19:00:44
No transcript available
19:01:15
200 left before 11. Make the pace.
19:01:33
Third 12, it'll be a 50 lift and a good stop. Bit of space at 12.
19:01:53
Rightly lean on tyres 13, 14 and then 16, 20.
19:02:12
No lift required before turn 90.
19:02:34
Stay on the racing line. A little bit of scrubbing if you're waiting. It will be three burnouts. Three burnouts. Remember, press and hold K0.
19:03:18
So you do a red switch race, just consider it a one-click rearwards B-belt, if you'd like.
19:03:33
Last car approaching the grid now. We are watching.
19:03:45
Minus 47.
19:05:36
Stay strat 6. Stay strat 6. All cars around you, medium.
19:06:15
DRS at the turn 12. Last lap.
19:09:01
It's the starting lap 4 now. Happy with what you're doing with tyres so far.
19:12:27
Now on lap six.
19:13:14
Just a reminder, it's MSA green diff if you want to adjust high speed. Currently seven.
19:14:06
Strat 11. Antonelli is moving. Sainz as well.
19:15:00
Still got the hard starters in the safety car window, so we're staying out.
19:15:30
Rightly, double yellow turn 90. I'll give you a reminder.
19:15:54
It's double yellow turn 19, just watch it entering now. Signs, left-hand side exit 19. Watch out.
19:16:05
We yellow end at the safety car line so you're clear of it now.
19:16:46
The only car that has stopped is Albon. He's coming off the hard climb.
19:20:07
Now starting lap 10. You are currently P10. Lawson behind could not have DRS.
19:22:38
Fernando, close to hard, did not look that good. Albon stopped off it, so based on comment, we're not happy with the hard at the moment.
19:23:29
But if this is too much out of turn 11, it'll be Strat 6, not Strat 7, it'll be Strat 6.
19:25:11
Just maintain what you're doing with tyres. It's good. Now on lap 13.
19:25:19
Yeah, I'm on level zero, so I don't know.
19:26:04
Hempts are still on the way up. We'll start to recover after this in a few laps.
19:26:52
For us at the minute, we're looking at plan A plus. Plan A plus, Fernando.
19:28:34
Guest torque 12. Torque 12.
19:29:24
Quick note, Bortoleto has just stopped. He was on the soft tyre from the start.
19:30:13
Just keep doing what you're doing. Now starting lap 16. Deg is still below sprint race for us.
19:33:37
Now on lap 18.
19:36:05
So, let's get HPP off. HPP off. I'll take aerobalance update when you can. Not urgent.
19:36:17
Yeah, I guess it's OK. My problems are 10, 12, 13, 14.
19:39:21
Probably finishing the front, so maybe more aero-balanced, I guess. OK, copy that. Who are you aware of at lap 13? That's lap leader for track limits, that's your first one. Copy on aero-balance.
19:40:19
Just check you're happy with MFA green diff for the high speed, currently 9.
19:41:11
Lance still on his race start soft set. Pretty good, he's P12 now.
19:43:41
Fernando, so overall deck has reduced a bit since we spoke earlier and your medium deck is actually very good. It doesn't feel great but this is looking good. It will be plan A plus.
19:44:30
We are thinking plan A plus 10.
19:52:07
Now on lap 29, just consider shape 12. Consider shape 12.
19:53:46
I'm thinking of a compound step-up where from Lance he's just stopped. Fairly balanced, a bit more on the rear.
19:53:55
Yeah, I mean, I have huge understeer, so...
19:55:13
Copy. Box, box.
19:55:27
Higher, green, right, R. Higher, green, right, R.
19:55:44
OK, 6.25 to go. Be around one second behind Bortoleto.
19:56:43
Happy to do very small bit to lift the coaster at 12.
19:57:30
Just consider white button if you're fighting.
20:00:00
Eight seconds ahead is Albon. He's on 23 lap older medium tyres, trying to get to him.
20:00:51
Car behind now, Lawson, 23 laps to go.
20:04:26
That was around nine tenths quicker than Albon.
20:05:50
Albon has pitted, so the next car is Bearman ten seconds ahead. I bet he's got the same tyre age as you, soft tyre.
20:06:40
So now this is a net P10, but we have got Albon just stopped. We expect him to be fairly close to the back of this group at the end. It's got Antonelli on five laps off may try and come through as well. It's all about pace to final spin.
20:07:31
Finish that comment that Antonelli is nine seconds back, similar tyre age, but there's three cars between you.
20:09:10
Eighteen to go. You've now done eight laps on this set, so we are having to start leaning on it progressively a little bit more, if you want.
20:13:23
For info, Antonelli is a little bit closer, about six seconds back now, but we'll say number card between you.
20:15:50
The two cars ahead, Hulkenberg, Bearman, are coming back to you. They currently do 1 minute 40s.
20:17:30
Recommend B-Bal one flick rearwards. Thirteen to go.
20:22:29
That's Tad to go. Tad to go.
20:24:08
9 to go. Franco Antonelli is now the car behind Lance. So two cars between you and Antonelli. Same tyre age.
20:25:51
Watch traction, turn 11. That's only a command. Traction, turn 11.
20:29:07
Six to go, six to go.
20:30:45
B-Bal one-click rearwards, see if you've got front blocking.
20:32:23
That's four to go. Four laps to go.
20:35:42
So that's two laps to go, two to go.
20:37:19
Final lap. Let's get strap 5 HPP off. Strap 5 HPP off.
20:37:57
Push and hold. Exit turn 11. Push and hold. Exit 11.
20:39:00
That's a flag. Well done. P10.
20:39:04
So let's get rudder switch warm-up.
20:39:14
MFB blue override position 12. MFB blue override position 12.
20:39:39
If you take all the pick-up you can. Nice and steady. All the pick-up.
20:41:44
Fernando, just to avoid the fluid loss, just turn the driver cooling system to zero before you stop. Do that whenever. Right, see you soon.
20:42:09
There's a toggle switch for the driver cooling on the left-hand side. It's near the tower switch, when you turn the car off it's easier. Yeah, yeah. Done. Done already. Thank you, mate. Okay. Well done.
20:42:32
OK, just remind at P0, you can just stop.
