18:24:39
Radio check, Kev. Radio's good. Yep, for me too. FYI, other cars come down another 0.2%, so we're 0.6% more balanced than them as we stand.
18:25:20
OK, so there's five minutes to the start of the formation lap. As usual, wait until after firing up to put the limiter on and also after you've fired up I'll ask you to do a static 5.9.
18:27:38
OK, Kev, you are correct about tyres. Only Sargeant on new mediums apart from our two cars. Copy that.
18:28:07
Okay, just a reminder to wait for pulling first gear just so the gearbox has time to catch up. Should help avoid resyncs.
18:29:33
OK, Cap. Static flight point mode, please.
18:33:26
OK, Kev, mode RS for the start. Last car is on the grid.
18:34:16
Load push when possible.
18:34:58
DRS is enabled. Car behind is Nico.
18:35:19
Nico 0.5 behind with DRS.
18:35:37
If you see what Ocon did at the exit of 8, first lap, completely pooped me on the grass. Copy that Kev, understood.
18:36:05
Nico 0.6 behind.
18:36:31
OK, Kev, you don't need to do as much. Lift the coast into 4 if that helps you. Nico's still 0.6 behind.
18:37:26
Nico, point six.
18:37:50
OK, so it was Gasly on that one, not Ocon. Understood.
18:37:59
Car behind Alonso.
18:38:37
Alonso, point 5.
18:39:53
Alonso, point four. Happy to reduce lifted coast at one and four.
18:40:34
Car behind is Ocon, point 8.
18:41:10
Suggest shape I to reduce front locking late entry.
18:41:17
Back up 0.6. I have no rear grip. That's my problem. Copy.
18:43:28
Car behind is Stroll.
18:43:50
Sixteen laps to go.
18:44:12
Car behind is Albon.9.
18:45:28
Car behind is Nico, 0.7.
18:46:21
Nico 0.6. Safety car window is open. Suggest reducing EB to try and help the rear. Might help rear temperatures a little bit.
18:46:49
Alternatively, push brake belts forwards for the start of braking.
18:47:39
You'll be surprised that we see a lot of surface overheating at the rear. Suggestion is trying to manage the rear through 6-7-11 might help a little bit.
18:50:19
ECO 0.8 behind. 11 laps to go.
18:51:31
OK, Kev, another reduction in EB may help a little bit.
18:52:49
Bottas, 0.8 behind 0.7.
18:53:03
Nine laps to go.
18:53:15
Currently P17 curve.
18:54:09
Bottas, point 9.
18:54:14
Cap to Nico, 0.7.
18:55:23
Bottas 0.6, Nico 0.7 ahead.
18:56:42
Bottas, point seven.
18:57:59
Bottas, point 7 again.
18:58:09
Five all-laps. Five all-laps.
18:59:17
Bottas, point 7.
18:59:27
Four more laps after this one.
19:00:35
Nico, 1.3 behind. The pack ahead of you are doing 17.1 roughly, but they're about 10 seconds in front.
19:01:42
Remember to reset the balance adjuster.
19:01:51
And suggesting another reduction in EB may help stability. Nico 2.1 behind.
19:02:01
Two laps to go. Albon is 10.5 seconds ahead of you. His last lap was 16.6.
19:03:10
Nico, three seconds behind. Albon 11.5 in front. You're just about to start the last lap.
19:04:41
OK Kev, that's the chequered flag for P16. Albon finished 13 seconds ahead of us. Last lap was 17.1. Sorry for the place of the kerb.
19:04:55
Could we have mode N, please, Kev? Mode N.
19:05:27
Just for reference, Joe managed to pass Nico towards the end and did a 17.4 in his last lap.
19:05:48
Just for the record, Verstappen won. From Norris, Perez 3rd, Russell 4th, Leclerc 5th, Tsunoda 6th, Hamilton 7th and Sainz took the last point in 8th.
19:06:24
OK, for your procedures please when you come to a stop, P2, pause to P1 and then a good pause before going to P0.
