15:54:29
Yeah, radio check.
15:59:08
So, one minute.
16:03:20
Last car approach at back of the grid.
16:03:29
Mode 6 and bias offset.
16:04:34
It was your bias offset, but that's been reset.
16:04:54
Display 8 when you can.
16:06:02
That max gap behind 1.4.
16:06:32
OK, so DRS is enabled. Gap ahead 1.5. Gap behind 1.4.
16:07:59
OK, so main loss last lap was turn 2, turn 7. Oscar saving less in 13.40.
16:08:23
Gap behind 1.5.
16:08:58
I've got an extreme balance shift straight to the left at corners.
16:09:31
Push toggle available for that discrepancy back to stabilise.
16:09:51
Gap behind 1.8.
16:10:51
So, tyre saving update. Piastri saving more in 9, 12 and 13.
16:10:59
Yeah, the highest in 1.9.
16:12:34
OK, so Lando, last lap, four tenths quicker in the final sector.
16:13:13
Safety car deployed back. Safety car deployed. Dash positive.
16:13:50
Box and pit confirm, Max. Box, pit confirm.
16:13:56
Strat 12 in pitlane. Strat 12 in pitlane.
16:14:21
White line on the exit.
16:14:27
OK, I've finished the safety car line now for one. Er, two, sorry. Er, but track is clear. Track clear.
16:14:38
Okay, so that's everyone in pitlane max other than the two McLarens and Corcor. So double yellows, double yellows where you are now.
16:16:42
And strat 5. Please match strat 5.
16:16:50
Follow the train. Still some debris around.
16:17:03
And there he is in red. What are you doing?
16:17:07
Everyone has missed it now, other than the two guys out of you.
16:17:21
So, I don't know what you like at maths at school, but you've now got two 25-lap stints.
16:18:08
Expect McLarens to push hard on the restart to lap 25 max. Obviously, they've got to do their best to generate as much of a gap as possible to you.
16:18:22
I can't let them go too far away. No, but we just need the two...
16:18:50
Yeah, that's just keeping me up to date with, you know, do I want to save, what do I need to do, or not. Yeah, understood.
16:19:32
So, situation behind you, Sainz, Antonelli, Alonso.
16:20:16
OK, Max, safety car is in this lap. Safety car in this lap.
16:20:26
So just bias offset when you're ready and recharge off can be enabled after turn 14.
16:22:40
No gap behind. One second.
16:22:49
McLaren is flat out in 4.59 as you'd expect.
16:24:02
OK, so gap ahead, Max, two seconds. Er, apologies, three seconds.
16:24:16
Seven tenths lost in the final sector.
16:25:18
Press and hold overtake. Exit turn 16. Five seconds.
16:25:31
Okay, so we could start to reduce management lap by lap here, Max.
16:25:50
Feels like I've left one wing or something, this thing.
16:26:06
You have your tools available to you, Redbird, display 5.
16:26:53
Okay, so Piastri 25.6, Norris 25.8, 26.1 for you. Gap to Piastri 6 seconds. Safety car is a 15 second window.
16:27:17
Standard stop, around 25 seconds.
16:28:18
Halberst, happy for you to reduce management in turn 15 further.
16:28:25
Gap to Piastri, seven seconds. 25.6 for him.
16:29:47
Piastri 25.5, Norris 25.9, final sector delta, three tenths to Piastri.
16:31:12
Piastri 25.6, Norris 26.0.
16:32:38
Max for beta, B-Bal 10. Looks interesting, B-Bal 10. Piastri lap 25.7. So gap is now stabilised at 7.8.
16:34:03
Piastri 25.6, Norris 25.8.
16:34:09
Gap to Piastri, 7.9.
16:35:28
OK, Max, that's 20 laps complete. We've got 12 laps remaining, so continue to produce management. Main losses, well, all losses to Piastri now. 12, 13, 14, 15.
16:35:44
You're otherwise quicker elsewhere around the lap.
16:36:56
Strat 4. We're seeing front left graining on both McLarens ahead. Gap is now 7.8.
16:38:22
OK, that's 22 laps complete. Probably two more laps for Piastri, three more for Norris. Pace Piastri 25.8, Norris 26.1.
16:38:45
And 10 laps for us as well, mate.
16:39:48
So Piastri, 25.8.
16:41:12
OK, so Piastri is in pitlane. Norris will pit this lap.
16:42:43
OK, so seven more laps, Max. You've reduced management now.
16:44:37
Piastri, 24.9.
16:44:52
Piastri 18.6, Norris 22.7.
16:45:31
And that's just five laps remaining now, Max. Five laps. Have a think about the front flap for the next turn.
16:45:51
Disconnect, I do need it, otherwise I just killed the left front.
16:46:02
Just confirmed, you wouldn't have taken any more.
16:46:09
Thank you.
16:47:19
Piastri 17.7, Norris 22.4.
16:47:43
Piastri approaching Antonelli and Sainz.
16:48:24
OK, three more laps, mate. Ease the tyres.
16:50:24
Piastri 18.2, Norris 21.4.
16:51:15
OK. Final lap, Max. We are in this lap. Use the tyres. Yeah, remind me also at the end again.
16:52:23
Box and pit confirm, Max.
16:52:27
Strat 12 in pitlane.
16:52:54
Strat 4. Well done. Strat 4. Very good in-lap. White line on the exit, Max. White line on the exit.
16:53:02
Close up your tools as you need to. At the beginning of the sit, that was very well managed. Same again. Everybody is here behind you and that's Norris ahead.
16:53:23
Is someone ready to run the hot tyre?
16:54:00
Are they looking right?
16:54:13
Let me know what you want to do here. High speed.
16:54:18
Get turns on 90 and then on up. Yeah, again, a gentle introduction.
16:54:28
Front left looks more robust on Gasly's car. Less grainy than the medium tyre runners. So it should be more robust. Obviously fuel load is down. This is now very similar to the sprint race, Max.
16:54:42
But you are on a more robust tyre.
16:55:50
So Max, we are expecting the McLaren to go to lap 50.
16:55:58
Two seconds behind Norris. Damage to front left tyre, at least initially.
16:57:23
Piastri, half a second quicker in the final sector.
16:57:38
And just a reminder, safety car window is around 15 seconds.
17:00:07
So, Piastri 24.5, Lando 24.9. The final sector gap to Piastri is 3 tenths.
17:00:22
You are also saving more in turn 9 for now.
17:01:04
Just a reminder, really, that you've got high-speed diff to control your balance as you need to control the front slip.
17:01:30
I'm actually going to press and hold overtake. Five seconds.
17:01:35
Piastri 24.5, Lando 24.9.
17:04:20
So, gap to Piastri 24.7. He's got some reasonably high wear on the front left. Norris also showing some graining.
17:04:41
Yeah, this feels good. Yeah, copy that Max.
17:05:48
Piastri 24.8, Lando 25.0.
17:07:00
Just a reminder, detection is there. You will have DRS.
17:07:08
OK, Max. This race, it's Oscar who's pitted early, and he...
17:07:57
Misreference, battery is full. Don't hurt the front left.
17:08:02
Let's give it a lap or two.
17:08:58
Okay, so gap to Piastri 17.1 seconds.
17:09:07
How many laps does Norris have left?
17:09:13
Seven, including this one.
17:10:05
13 laps remaining, Max.
17:10:20
Just get me up to date for the pace differences, Piastri. Yes, so Piastri's last lap was a 23.0.
17:10:31
You are free to push.
17:10:36
As last set, every lap gradually reduce your management.
17:11:44
OK, second lap for Piastri, 23.3. The gap is 15 seconds, Max. There's 12 laps remaining.
17:12:02
And I'll let you manage that.
17:12:10
From what we can see at the moment, the front left tyre is holding up very well.
17:14:10
OK, mate, so 10 laps remaining. 10 laps remaining.
17:14:18
Your top of your tools for the moment.
17:14:25
Yeah, yeah, that's OK.
17:14:32
Very good. Just control that high speed there. Make sure you don't overslip at the front left. Gap to Piastri. 14.2.
17:14:48
There was only a full tenth of a delta that lap, two of which was in the final sector.
17:16:12
Sainz pace on hard tyres 23.8.
17:19:18
That's plenty of gap now to Piastri, so avoid exit kerb. Turn 13 and turn 4, please.
17:19:59
Now we have no concerns over the front left tyre.
17:20:08
Piastri also 23.8. Gap 12.6. As I say, exit kerb turn 4.
17:21:08
Verstappen, Piastri, same pace. First two sectors. Five laps remaining. Five laps remaining.
17:22:07
So, first one will be Gasly, then Ocon, then Colapinto.
17:22:35
Four laps remaining, Max. We can have mode 5. Mode 5, four laps remaining.
17:24:21
Solid blues, Rocco.
17:25:22
Solid place for Colapinto.
17:26:01
Maybe some debris on the main straight. Hadjar's had a puncture.
17:26:47
OK, so the debris is off the line, so just stay on line, Max. Stay to the left. And this is the final lap. Final lap.
17:27:44
Not sure what happened to Antonelli, mate. Looks like he just pulled over and let Norris through.
17:28:10
Anyway, regardless of that, we will fight to the end, mate. Fantastic.
17:28:20
Yes, unbelievable. Really well done with the strategy, guys. That was awesome. Thank you very much. You keep staying in it. That was a very lovely race. You take that one. Great job, everyone.
17:28:38
Fail 84, please, Max. Fail 84. Pick up, please.
17:28:55
Well done, Max. What to say? Never foot wrong. Magic pace. Let the other guys do the mistakes. Well done, mate.
17:29:07
Yeah, we're really proud of that one. Really well done, Derek, with that call.
