12:51:16
Radio check.
12:51:20
Yep, right-o, Clerk. I hear you, Clerk.
12:51:23
Thank you. Sure thing.
12:57:36
OK, it's two and a half minutes.
12:57:38
Tyre wise, everybody on medium.
12:57:40
Medium. Bah. Bah.
12:57:41
Bortoleto.
12:57:43
B-16.
12:57:46
6, 18 and 20. They're on the soft.
12:57:48
B16, B18 and B20 on the side.
12:59:56
That's 15 seconds.
13:00:07
Five and a half to the start. Let's go four.
13:01:56
Battery's off, but...
13:02:17
That was a joke.
13:02:29
Just too burnt out, Sonex, too burnt out.
13:02:29
Two burnouts, Alex. Two burnouts.
13:02:55
Start with the left button on.
13:04:15
Go race when you can.
13:04:51
Switches are all set. It's just pushing all the way down.
13:04:52
06, just pushing already in 8th.
13:06:14
Mode 10 to help with battery level. Mode 10.
13:06:23
And we are P10 with Verstappen retired.
13:06:55
Contacts are coming out well.
13:06:57
Well, let's see. 7, 8, 10, 12.
13:09:36
This time it's at 12.4.
13:09:37
We'll help through sector 3.
13:09:38
Through sector 3. See they're still high at 18.19.
13:10:05
I have to stay to the front, by the way, I don't know if you...
13:10:07
Thank you. Thank you.
13:10:22
I think it means stay at this high grip, I think.
13:10:28
It's alright, it's HS5.
13:11:24
That's got about 60...
13:11:25
I've got about 50 clicks.
13:11:41
Get your balance feedback if it's on the other side.
13:11:42
Balance feedback. Something understeer, so it's just mid-eight.
13:11:44
I'm just going to date, otherwise I'd be happy with what stares me up.
13:14:10
Other tyres now stable.
13:14:11
Stable. Cross car balance is slightly more undisturbed. It's OK.
13:14:21
The car is behind at three seconds.
13:15:29
Rear brakes are on the colder side, it may affect the car.
13:15:40
The plane should not affect downshifts.
13:16:11
Awesome Scott with the X-Fex as well.
13:16:13
I don't think so, no.
13:16:19
I'm just going to keep this shit high.
13:16:22
He's got about eight ticks now and he's at three.
13:16:26
The gap ahead of him is five seconds.
13:16:46
Watch the exit slip at 5.6 to help at 8.
13:17:28
New York is just doing a tenth quicker than Lawson at turn 11.
13:19:24
Mode 6 for pack level.
13:20:42
You can see the snaps at the freeway, pushing by the entry.
13:20:44
You're behind the entry, so just double push if you need to.
13:20:53
It's just 5-8 pressure in front.
13:21:24
Up the other tyre switch. What's your status at the minute?
13:22:02
10-0. It's block related, I can manage it.
13:24:02
Suggest torque 12 to help some of the low speed up the steps.
13:24:38
That's not traction.
13:24:39
It's not traction as slip-on exits.
13:24:41
One exit.
13:25:20
Be back on tyres when you can, Alex.
13:25:22
Right, let's drop it. Yes.
13:25:57
It's just a bit too tight.
13:26:01
No transcript available
13:26:03
I don't know what you're seeing, but I'm really limited, not unlimited.
13:26:07
That's right.
13:26:39
I see you have understeer, mate.
13:26:41
Traction is weak.
13:27:25
That's 18 laps completed.
13:27:59
I've got about five ticks.
13:28:01
Thanks. I have clean air.
13:28:34
Keep your five clicks in the pocket.
13:28:36
Slicks in the pocket. Managed the slips.
13:29:53
It's like cross-cross cars. For us, it's three at 12.
13:29:56
12. Take S-flat.
13:29:57
It's just a test, yeah.
13:30:01
I'm just stuck here.
13:30:03
This is 5-6 in clean air, so 5-6 out.
13:30:38
B-Bal offset forwards to help rear surface.
13:32:00
Control, good work with the other turn 8s.
13:33:06
The car is threshing in turn 60 as well. He's a throttle jacking.
13:33:52
If it's not throttle, just check in shifts.
13:33:53
Checking shifts, so just torque 12.
13:34:35
Rapid-take for 2.0.
13:34:38
Clear on a test pitch.
13:34:47
We're freshened out after this.
13:34:48
I should hold after two seconds.
13:35:10
Until we find something that's working.
13:35:12
Working out of eight each lap. Push and hold after two seconds.
13:36:30
Turn 8, focus on a lower peak.
13:36:32
Three seconds.
13:37:11
Took it to the front left. Brakes, no rears as well.
13:37:14
Here he goes, France everything.
13:37:22
Yes, that's it.
13:37:23
I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90.
13:37:43
Climb to the appointments.
13:37:59
Give us some feedback, Giselle, please.
13:38:12
Made the boost button out of eight by one second.
13:38:32
Guys, ideally we try and keep the temperature up on the front.
13:38:33
Front tyres just slip on the ramp.
13:38:45
His breath was good with plan B.
13:38:47
B, there's 61 laps to go.
13:39:49
Crosscars, you're driving well, thank you.
13:39:51
Driving well, just mainly focusing on the exits.
13:39:52
I'll be focusing on the exits at 8.
13:39:54
10. I'm managing the entries.
13:41:46
This is just a bigger loop through 13.
13:41:48
13. Oscar, you're quicker.
13:41:58
Speedbrakes at 13. You're speeding behind the braking points.
13:43:07
Mode 5. No boost this lap.
13:43:15
I'll try without the boot.
13:43:16
Probably without the boost this time.
13:43:49
Race leader Antonelli, two seconds back.
13:44:25
Blue hat to Nelly.
13:44:37
Use the boost to get out of 8th.
13:45:10
Sorry, I was like, gosh.
13:45:46
OK, stick with it. Let's top it.
13:45:48
This tank ain't dangerous.
13:46:59
There's something wrong with the shift.
13:47:01
A shift. He's definitely the shift that's creating all these issues.
13:47:04
It's pushing me like crazy.
13:47:14
Carburetor on that. Gap technology.
13:47:15
I could put you on that. Gap to cross is 1.0.
13:47:16
This is four seconds. It's increasing now.
13:47:18
Depends, it's increasing now, the gap is increasing the height.
13:47:34
Now it shifts. I'm deployed right now.
13:47:35
I declined in the anti-centre.
13:47:38
No transcript available
13:47:47
Yeah, deployment-wise it's going to be push and hold. There's not much we can do on that.
13:48:02
May I have track B?
13:48:25
Downshift problem at 6.19, not everywhere. Yes, 6.18.90, downshifts.
13:48:31
I don't know how you guys can't see it. It's pushing me like crazy.
13:48:37
It's such a bloke, what's this?
13:48:50
I haven't used the handbrake too much.
13:49:54
The downshift is due to the Otis B controller.
13:49:57
Full throttle, there's nothing there.
13:50:29
Stater should probably not be feasible right now.
13:51:04
Gap behind it. 10 seconds to go, Ross.
13:52:24
Your boost is getting a lot slower, Steve.
13:52:33
There's a blue default 0-2-OK when you can, there's a blue default 0-2-OK.
13:52:36
0-2-OK to reset it.
13:53:09
Single okay and I don't use the boost.
13:53:43
I have a bloody blue flag.
13:53:53
Blue for Antonelli there. Restore the position of the blue.
13:53:56
Thank you, guys. Good luck.
13:54:13
Please, I don't need to do these resets.
13:54:16
It's in the middle of blue flags and in the marbles and all this kind of stuff.
13:54:30
Right, no boost. Let's see if this improves it on the mode.
13:56:35
The hard tyre expected three laps of warm-up.
13:56:38
I'll turn unless you shout.
13:56:40
Unless you shout. Try and help the warm-up.
13:57:08
Several cars have been penalised in the pitlane.
13:57:12
Heading entry and exit.
13:57:46
Two more laps.
13:59:15
Once we've pitted, it'll be one lap to one with tyres up, and then it won't matter.
13:59:17
Pop the tyres up and then it'll be a switch position.
13:59:31
Is that because of... or because...
13:59:47
Take your plan B. Soft tyre. Box this lap.
13:59:49
Box this lap. Soft tyre box this lap.
14:00:21
Box. Watch your pitlane speed. Pitlane speed.
14:00:36
Watch the white line at the exit. It's the second line at the exit. Take some margin.
14:00:40
Roger. In some ways.
14:00:42
Thought speeding.
14:00:45
You'll be clear once your white line exits.
14:00:56
Go ahead Carlos, one and a half behind.
14:02:05
Try and let Carlos through this lap into turn one. It's tight and one and a half seconds back.
14:02:08
Two seconds back. Too late, too late, too late. Keep going, keep going.
14:02:16
It's very easy at first, because if I push it's out, I want to...
14:02:19
I have understeer at turn 80.
14:02:26
I mean, I'm happy to do it, but I just...
14:02:31
Are we just risking something for that fail?
14:02:48
There are some reliability elsewhere. It'll be this lap into 12, Alex, between us.
14:02:51
11-12 Alexey. Between 11 and 12.02, two seconds back.
14:02:58
Disappointing.
14:03:00
There are some reliability concerns on other cars, so we're going to try and let him through now.
14:03:04
Try and let him through now. Lidblad one second back. Lidblad behind 43.0 mediums.
14:03:10
I don't like to be so slow.
14:03:29
Target lap time one minute twenty two.
14:04:14
Use the boost every lap. Exit at 8 nautical miles an hour.
14:04:16
Alex, same as before, please.
14:04:23
We're being too fucking smart with this shit, guys.
14:04:26
Yeah, OK.
14:04:28
I don't want to die, I'm not kidding.
14:04:52
It's for P9 and 10, yes, we're monitoring the boost on them.
14:05:01
Please stay where you are now on the straights. Please stay where you can on the straights. I'm not trying to problem you.
14:05:35
Use the boost every straight.
14:05:37
Good manager problem.
14:06:36
Very good start.
14:06:37
Very good, very good.
14:07:02
I don't get it. Walk with me.
14:07:26
What you need is a blue light.
14:07:29
Blue default, one nine single okay. If you want to try and help this pack, we'll do it.
14:07:31
I'll try and help this pack. If not, stage well.
14:08:03
That's what you want me to do now, because...
14:08:06
Oh, he's there.
14:08:08
Talk to you soon.
14:08:09
No transcript available
14:08:10
Last lap 203.0.
14:08:11
Do you want me to try and get past again or do you want me to hold the next group out?
14:08:17
I need to build the gap, Carlos. The Limbalad still needs to pit.
14:08:54
Push presses on the straights to help the pack.
14:09:04
When you can, reset that blue rotary away from the decock.
14:09:51
There will be another switch change on the blue 8 coming up.
14:10:14
When you can, it's a blue 8 position 5.
14:10:16
Position 5 is not a default. Blue 8.
14:10:17
Default Blue 8 P5.
14:10:26
George Hulkenberg half a second behind him.
14:10:58
Blue for Antonelli. One second gap.
14:11:00
Check the gap. There's a Hulkenberg behind him.
14:12:19
Carlos will be in this lap.
14:12:22
And then swap after LeBlanc is out of the way.
14:12:49
Manage more if you can as it's low stock for Carlos. Manage more if you can.
14:13:55
Looks like Hadjar-Hulkenberg is behind.
14:14:28
I'll give you another blue 8 because it's changed.
14:14:30
Keep position change out of turn 80.
14:15:00
It's blue 8, position 3.
14:15:02
Blue 8, position 3.
14:15:37
Keep using the boost. I know it's tough.
14:15:38
I'm using the boost. I know it's tough at the minute.
14:15:49
Fourth car swap. Next lap, turn 12.
14:16:18
Use the boost and I shall put it to work.
14:16:19
Boost and a shortcut at turn 12.
14:16:56
Alright, let's try again.
14:18:15
Quite two laps to go.
14:18:43
I was a bit blood-pitted.
14:18:55
Be careful in blood still to pit.
14:19:31
OK, 90 to go with all the fun that we're on two straights.
14:19:33
For the front we are on two strikes total.
14:19:42
Mode 11. Mode 11.
14:20:13
Okay, safety car, safety car stay out. That's turn 19.
14:20:16
Stay out, that's turn 19. Stroll going in the wall.
14:20:18
So we'll stay out, Stroll.
14:20:19
Stroll on the outside wall.
14:20:25
Folks, tyre warming.
14:20:49
Double delta, 18, 19, double delta.
14:20:51
Stay positive on the delta. It's a double-double.
14:20:52
Delta, it's a double delta through 18, 19.
14:21:02
I think we need some sleepers out in the last corner because it's getting dangerous this side.
14:21:06
Sorry, I just turned the brake off.
14:21:08
Great. Marvellous.
14:21:10
Yeah, it's the track tearing over.
14:21:18
Oh, fuck it.
14:21:22
Stay positive at the delta.
14:22:01
Turn limo 2 ahead.
14:22:18
Okay, so we are driving through the pitlane. All cars through the pitlane. Driving straight.
14:22:21
Pitlane. Driving straight through.
14:22:33
Confirm through the pitlane. Do not stop.
14:22:36
Driving straight through.
14:22:43
Speed through the pitlane. Steady on that.
14:22:53
Watch the limiter at the exit.
14:22:56
There's still a few more that's being picked, I think.
14:23:12
So that is twice.
14:23:13
That is twice past the SC line.
14:23:25
So you're bunching up now for the safety car. Safety car's at 5.
14:23:36
I have to focus on front tyre tip.
14:23:58
Help with the front tyres, you can count that.
14:24:00
Do note, don't use the button, but we can just do general brake warming.
14:24:16
Okay, so this time around, we'll go...
14:24:18
Safety car will go on the start and finish straight.
14:24:20
Follow the cars ahead.
14:24:33
Follow the safety car. It will stay on track. Start finish line.
14:24:36
Is there anything I can do with my...
14:24:41
No transcript available
14:24:42
Department, do we need all full throttle set?
14:24:44
Like, I get forced through in some corners, saving you between.
14:24:49
Sixteen and seventeen.
14:25:03
Negative, that won't improve it.
14:25:06
We've changed as many as we can.
14:25:09
Subject contained. First stage done.
14:25:14
I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90.
14:25:47
P5 please. Why did you stop here?
14:25:49
Can you help me? Because he always cares about his tyres.
14:25:52
I think there's a Saint-Gabe coming.
14:25:54
Coming up, I think the same game is about to happen.
14:26:02
Why? Because Liam has boxed.
14:26:03
Because Liam has boxed yet, so...
14:26:04
Wait, wait, wait. I'll leave him to pick up that coffee.
14:26:10
Stand clear.
14:26:13
Need to put max pressure on the blood.
14:26:16
I've got 63 laps on this set.
14:26:25
Let's check the witnesses' passports.
14:26:31
Follow the safety car again.
14:26:38
How are we thinking about the...
14:26:40
Talking about the race so far in terms of bias.
14:26:42
What do we see? What do we think?
14:26:45
I have to wait for the...
14:26:58
Sorry, lap cars can overtake, yeah, that's okay.
14:26:59
Cars can overtake, yeah, that's okay, you can make your way.
14:27:00
That's okay, you can make your way through.
14:27:40
Stepwise medium. We're reasonably happy.
14:27:55
Oscar, as you were strong, on 510.
14:27:56
Gasly was strong on 5, 10, 11 and 15.
14:28:20
If you need any more rotation, sector 2.
14:28:22
Rotation sector 2, that would be torque.
14:29:06
Fusion on the front left. Dirty epic contributor.
14:29:07
Pit contributor, but also sub-turbo.
14:29:54
OK, the safety car is in this lap.
14:30:15
OK, you can set go race now.
14:30:16
No race now, just using the boost on the straights.
14:30:19
Takes the car as if that's an app.
14:30:26
60 cars at turn 12.
14:30:43
15, Antonelli's at 15.
14:31:30
Same again, safety car, safety car now overtaking.
14:31:34
Del Toro-Clerc's gone up at 19 as you saw.
14:31:40
We do need a clean-up.
14:31:52
19. And we're going through the pitlane once again, so watch there.
14:31:55
Speed limit on the way through the pitlane.
14:31:57
Continue the pitlane on the entry and the exit.
14:32:00
Get the front tyre taps where we can.
14:32:15
Yeah, that's lap marbles all the time.
14:32:34
Coming through the pitlane. Through the pitlane. Watch that.
14:32:35
Through the pitlane. Watch that speed. There's lots of speeding in the pitlanes going on at the minute.
14:32:46
Around the Cadillac area, around the Cadillac area.
14:32:48
Cutting the line around the Cadillac area.
14:33:16
Blue 8 position 2.
14:33:55
I'm trying to contain this.
14:33:56
Flattery.
14:34:00
Boost on the straights all the way to the end.
14:34:20
Giuseppes.
14:34:30
That's currently on Alex, I think.
14:34:31
Okay, positive at the delta.
14:34:45
That's twice past the SC.
14:34:48
I managed to catch the back of the safety car.
14:34:57
OK, switches are OK.
14:35:19
It's a red flag Alex, red flag.
14:35:22
Positive at the delta.
14:35:25
I have to go on like this.
14:35:30
That's it.
14:36:25
He did three minutes of us going through the pitlane and then we were sweeping it out. That's all he needed to do.
14:36:48
Yes, I don't know if there's anything we can do.
14:36:49
Yes, that's, yep, yep.
15:05:36
I'm ready to shake.
15:05:37
Radio check. Radio check, Lando Clerc.
15:05:40
Confirmed. Six and a half minutes.
15:05:41
Six and a half minutes till session.
15:05:42
And it's till session starts.
15:05:43
Session starts, but we will get released.
15:05:45
Release in just over four minutes.
15:05:48
Follow the car ahead out.
15:05:51
Come around.
15:05:53
I can do it. Go race.
15:05:55
Back in the pitlane and then we're in group.
15:05:57
We're in group order then.
15:06:04
Thanks. We need a switch change from your side. Blue 1, position 12. Blue 1, position 12.
15:07:31
I should just do pitlane, not place.
15:08:51
It's like Alex said, in about one minute.
15:08:53
One minute, we'll be leaving the pitlane.
15:08:54
Pitlane. I'll drive around back through.
15:08:55
I'll drive around back through the pitlane.
15:08:57
I'm going to warm up behind the cars there.
15:08:59
There will be at least one lap behind the speed limit.
15:09:00
At least one lap behind the safety car. At least one lap.
15:09:03
There is no oversteer at turn 90.
15:09:04
There is no information yet on whether it's standing or rolling.
15:09:17
OK, so the limit is on.
15:09:18
Passes on. Should be a go race.
15:09:21
So, you just follow Leblanc-Norris.
15:09:22
Follow Leblanc. No overtaking, obviously.
15:10:31
Boost up the hill, please.
15:11:06
Race controller after feedback on how severe.
15:11:10
The problem is in 18. How severe the problem is in 18.
15:11:15
I think we should...
15:11:18
We should reset.
15:11:33
Right, so you're coming through the pitlane.
15:11:34
Through the pitlane. Have a look at the conditions. You're coming through the pitlane.
15:11:37
Study through the pitlane.
15:11:43
Watch your speed limiter, I think it's fine.
15:11:46
It looks fine.
15:11:47
Let's try. It looks clear.
15:11:55
Keep you running for now.
15:11:56
B-Bal should be...
15:11:59
Believing eminently into...
15:11:59
Stay in 12 seconds.
15:12:00
Twelve seconds. You should get a light at the end of the pitlane. Keep it running.
15:12:25
We should probably do a couple of laps.
15:12:29
It was at least one. Yeah, copy.
15:13:56
Nice and stay on track, folks.
15:13:57
Stay on track. Follow the safety car. Feedback at
15:13:59
Safety car. Feedback at 18 and 19.
15:14:42
Okay, so go forward.
15:14:45
Standing start. Standing start.
15:15:41
B3 burnouts, P9.
15:15:43
That's P9, right hand side, P9.
15:15:44
Right-hand side P9. Right-hand side P10.
15:16:20
Please press up the hill.
15:16:21
Press up the hill, out of turn one on the start.
15:16:23
One other start. That's good.
15:16:25
Go start, left button on.
15:17:41
Use the boost, use the boost.
15:17:47
Approach.
15:17:53
Yeah, I know. So, Parc fermé.
15:17:55
No power. I don't fucking appreciate it all the time.
15:18:22
I'm confident the problem has been fixed. It'll be okay this lap.
15:18:25
You're a spitz!
15:19:04
At least you won't use the boost after two seconds. Use the boost after...
15:19:08
Seven laps to go. He's the boost after two seconds, as you were doing before.
15:19:22
When I say it's not fucking working, I'm telling you it's not working.
15:19:36
Let me back.
15:19:37
Let me back. Give it to me back.
15:19:43
We're looking at it. The boost needs to be two seconds after full throttle. You're too early on the button.
15:21:03
For the next five laps, five to go.
15:22:20
Breakout without 10-second penalty.
15:24:16
Mode 6 when you can. Mode 6 when you can.
15:24:51
Two laps to go, gap to Gasly.
15:24:52
Gap to Gasly at 11.6.
15:24:55
I'm so worried about this guy behind me.
15:26:08
Starting the last lap.
15:27:33
Checker flag, checker flag, B.
15:27:34
Circuit 5, P8, Alex, P8.
15:27:39
That was a tough one.
15:27:42
Yes, there we are.
15:27:45
Over. Over. Over.
15:27:45
I don't know, maybe check for damage or something, I don't know.
15:27:48
That was so slow. Yeah, that was too.
15:28:00
OK, bye.
15:28:05
Mode 13 when you can. Mode 13.
15:28:15
Well done to you. I know it's tough out there.
15:28:16
I know it's tough out there with all the...
15:28:17
I've got a little bit of battery issues at the car.
15:28:19
He's in the car. We'll look into that, but well done.
15:28:20
But well done. P8. Really good points. We'll keep moving forward.
15:28:24
Yeah, thanks, James.
15:28:26
Yeah, because it's... I don't know how much of it's...
15:28:29
Hey, so is it.
15:28:31
Straight back to B.
15:28:46
Boy, you count a bit of full throttle just to...
15:28:49
Help the battery.
15:28:56
178 laps, trying to keep it in the window, now we're trying to get rid of it all.
15:29:05
Good lap.
15:29:32
Well done, mate. There's a few bits to contemplate there. You managed it.
15:29:37
Cut through. Well done. P8.
15:29:43
That's it. Have a better weekend, sir.
15:29:45
Thanks, everyone. Thanks for all the hard work.
