19:53:34
Radio check, Steve-O. Radio check.
19:55:24
Anybody on the hard?
19:58:11
Two minutes now.
19:59:10
I have one minute now.
20:00:48
Power is coming. I don't have full power. Yeah, copy. We see it. We are looking.
20:00:59
And I have some weird vibration on the brake pedal when I brake.
20:01:04
And shift to position one and no full throttle. Shift one.
20:01:46
The vibration under the brake is still there. It's pretty big.
20:01:53
And driver default, Charlie 63. Charlie 63 on.
20:02:18
What about shift? You can go shift 2.
20:02:25
And driver default, Charlie 1-7. Driver default, Charlie 1-7.
20:02:36
And it will be two burnouts.
20:02:39
Cancel that, Nico. Avoid burnouts.
20:02:44
What about the brakes? Are they going to be fine?
20:02:48
We see the vibrations.
20:03:03
And driver default Alfa seven zero when you can, Alfa seven zero.
20:03:13
And last car is on the grid now.
20:03:57
I've got no power. Power surge. Driver default delta 27. Delta 27.
20:05:39
Driver default alpha 3-0 when you can. Alpha 3-0.
20:06:32
That's Lawson, who stopped.
20:07:01
We're out of shit, Joe.
20:07:46
I think the low power there was just battery related, Nico. We were just low on battery, too much overtake usage.
20:07:56
And there is some debris reported in turn 1-2.
20:09:32
OK, what do you want me to do from here? Save tyres now or try to get through?
20:09:38
It's going to be tough to get through. You see there's a bit of a train of cars in front. Albon has a four-second gap in front of him. He's the lead of this.
20:09:56
And so far it looks like the hard tyre is performing quite well.
20:10:28
I think the drivability is affected as well from the engine. It doesn't feel as smooth as normal. Yeah, I copy Nico.
20:10:40
We don't know if there's any other actions we can take at the moment, but of course I'll keep you updated.
20:11:06
Car in front, it's Gasly.
20:11:22
Give me some more open diff, mid-corner, low speed. Rotation. OK, copy.
20:11:39
I think entry minus one is the best we can do for that.
20:13:27
OK, nice job there, Nico. Car in front, Star, Stroll, and Albert. Good power, good power. Fuck.
20:13:40
Let's go to the next corner.
20:15:38
It seems like front left is kind of grinding up. A lot of understeer coming in. Yeah, copy Nico. What flap adjust would you like for the hard tyre?
20:15:54
What the... really?
20:15:58
Probably would have had to add some.
20:16:09
Yeah, copy that. And we suggest B make 4.
20:16:18
And car in front is Albon on the hard.
20:16:44
I think, again, a 3.0 turbo is maybe still a good curve, but I take too much curve at the drop spot. OK, copy that. Honestly, we're still trying to understand the issue. As you can see, it's very intermediate behaviour. It's just not consistent. We're considering doing a power cycle on the car at the pitstop.
20:18:51
Nico, despite the issue, your pace is very good and the soft tyre looks very strong for everybody. I'll ask for a couple more driver defaults. First is Bravo 4-0. Bravo 4-0.
20:19:12
And then Bravo 6-5 when you can. Bravo 6-5.
20:19:59
It sounds like the turbo has a lot of trouble.
20:20:09
It's got wheels now, a bit of a buzz. Yeah, copy. Let's go back on Bravo 65. Bravo 65 off.
20:23:59
Last lap was very fast, Nico. Faster than everybody except for the top four. Doing a great job, man.
20:24:31
How do these tyres feel, Nico?
20:24:34
OK, not amazing. Let it be checked.
20:24:42
OK, I'll be back.
20:25:06
Just try to find your slips on low-speed exits.
20:26:05
And consider mid 3, mid position 3 and special 2 for the last corner.
20:27:32
Sainz in my pitlane.
20:27:54
And Sainz fit the soft. He's probably two-stopping us.
20:30:22
That's good. I'll take it.
20:30:42
Yeah, we're thinking plan A plus five. We think the guys in front will start to struggle now.
20:31:05
Yeah, my pace is also not going to get better from here. Tyres are dropping off a bit.
20:31:26
Is the power unit back to normal, like, otherwise or not?
20:31:44
Alonso's in the pitlane. We'll need some more lift in coast for rear brake temperature. More lift in coast.
20:31:59
Yeah, what about my cushion? It doesn't feel great.
20:32:06
Yeah, the power unit issue is still there, Nico. Still the same.
20:32:12
So we don't have full power, yeah? That's correct. Unfortunately not.
20:34:27
So, to help rear brake temperature, we'd like B-MIG-5 and brake balance target 59%. B-MIG-5, brake balance 59%.
20:35:51
Nico, we need a couple of driver defaults for rear brakes. Alpha 2-6. Alpha 2-6. And Hamilton will be coming out of the pit exit now.
20:36:19
And next is Bravo 3-0. Driver default. Bravo 3-0.
20:38:29
Did you see how he got by there? It feels like completely pointless to... Let's try to power cycle. Let's box this lap and let's try to power cycle. That's the only thing we can do. Okay, box now.
20:38:46
Nico, you will need to do the power cycle yourself. It will be full switch off.
20:38:57
Want to just back on and crank or what? Sorry, repeat.
20:40:31
Not sure if you can hear me, Nico, but really sorry about that.
