18:22:29
Radio check. Radio is loud and clear. Loud and clear as well from the garage.
18:23:28
How's the track, Tim? So we have 53.9, so it's probably dropped. It's dripped less than a degree.
18:23:42
What's the difference between the cars? Still the same? No, they've come down another two, I think, and come towards us.
18:25:16
That's it. Five minutes.
18:26:26
Is that Perez ahead of me, yeah? Yeah, A fan.
18:26:43
Why were you suggesting green?
18:26:55
Mike is suggesting more red than green, but yeah, it just depends.
18:27:06
Is it a tailwind? It's turn 1.
18:27:14
Yeah, it's pretty still. Slight tailwind if anything, but yeah, it's pretty still in turn 1 just from lap to grid. And three minutes.
18:27:43
So, everyone around is on soft tyres and only medium users are Magnussen, P11, Hulkenberg, P12. Sorry, say that again, mate? Yeah, everyone is on the soft around you. Only mediums are Magnussen, Hulkenberg and Sargeant at the back of the grid.
18:28:49
90 seconds. Fire up.
18:29:47
Single bite point find. 30 seconds.
18:30:02
15 seconds. Select Strat 1.
18:30:38
And clutch was a shallow 2%.
18:30:43
Grip wasn't that good.
18:30:59
OK, copy. Casing temps, we're on the cool side. Will advise.
18:32:02
And it will be two long burnouts. Two long burnouts.
18:32:21
So we'll just target slightly shallow.
18:32:26
Right, practice start.
18:32:31
Yep, that looked good and you've done a good job on casing temps.
18:33:01
May I have my mark?
18:33:06
Looks good to us.
18:33:23
And last car approaching the grid.
18:34:49
So, Norris 0.4 ahead, Perez 0.6 behind.
18:35:15
And think about B-Bal forwards when you can.
18:35:27
DRS has been enabled. 0.5 ahead of behind.
18:37:20
So, 1.5 ahead, 0.6 behind.
18:38:35
I am happy I made that backflip.
18:38:41
You've got 0.8 ahead, 0.7 behind.
18:39:15
So 0.7 ahead, 0.8 behind.
18:39:54
So, 1.3 ahead, 1.0 behind. Biggest loss is turn 4 min speed.
18:41:07
1.8 ahead, 1.1 behind.
18:41:33
So, Perez, it was a 15.3, Leclerc, 15.9.
18:42:25
Liverpool Coast looks effective. Perez 2.2 ahead, Leclerc 1.2 behind.
18:42:49
Senna Perez at 15.1, Leclerc at 15.8.
18:43:39
2.0 ahead, 1.4 behind.
18:44:16
Where am I losing things, guys?
18:44:53
Main losses to the front runners. Turns 8, 9 and a little bit exit 12. So Leclerc 1.7 behind, 2.6 ahead Perez. He's battling with George.
18:45:20
Perez 15.4, Leclerc 16.1.
18:45:32
Norris in P2 doing 15-0.
18:46:11
2.0 head to George, 1.6 behind Leclerc.
18:46:34
Think about traction, exit 9 and lift through turn 11 for benefit 12.
18:47:27
So 1.8 ahead and 1.9 behind to Leclerc.
18:47:51
George 16.2, Leclerc 16.4.
18:48:42
We are starting to see some deg on those cars that have been racing hard. Gap at 1.9 ahead and at 2.1 behind.
18:49:08
So let's just stay on top of the management doing a good job.
18:49:20
Same lap time as George, Leclerc 16.4.
18:50:00
Gaps 1.7 ahead, 2.6 behind.
18:50:25
George is 16.4, Leclerc is 16.5.
18:51:19
So, gap 1.9 ahead, 2.5 behind.
18:51:26
That'll be 10 laps remaining.
18:51:42
Yeah, copy. I'll do what I can to keep on top of him.
18:51:53
So Leclerc, he's now going to be getting pressured by Tsunoda, car behind him.
18:52:33
Gap 2.5 ahead, 2.3 behind.
18:52:56
Think about Diff Entry 6 for entry stability.
18:53:10
So George is 16.5, Leclerc 16.7.
18:53:51
Gap is 2.6 ahead, 2.3 behind.
18:54:13
Same lap time as George. 16.6 for Leclerc.
18:55:09
Gap 2.8 ahead and 2.0 behind.
18:55:31
George, 16.7. Leclerc, 16.6.
18:56:24
Gap 3.0 ahead, 1.9 behind. I lose that time.
18:56:46
Certain turn 8 and 9 and then exits 10 and 12. Just got to stay on top of the traction metrics.
18:57:02
George, 16.5, Leclerc, 16.6.
18:57:39
Fuck, I realised.
18:58:05
Leclerc at 0.8 behind.
18:58:59
I'm going backwards now.
18:59:22
Is there a Tsunoda car behind?
19:00:15
How many more laps of this I got? There'll be three laps when you cross the line.
19:00:41
Sir, Sainz at 2.5. Behind last lap he was 17.0.
19:01:38
Two laps remaining. Gap 2.0 behind the Sainz.
19:02:50
We want more lap. You have overtake available to defend. Gap at 1.3.
19:04:08
Take to the line. Push and hold. Overtake to the line. 0.9 behind.
19:04:33
OK, Lewis, that was a tough one, mate, but it's P7. P7 in the end.
19:04:46
And here we go. Strat mode 1 and HPP 1, position 14.
19:05:02
Can I say that again?
19:05:06
And HPP1 position 14. And then it will be strat mode 1.
