18:23:06
Radio check. Radio is loud and clear.
18:25:23
That's five minutes to formation lap.
18:27:13
Three minutes, George. Track temp 53.8, so it's not really moved.
18:27:24
Everyone is on soft except Magnussen, Hulkenberg, P11, P12 and Sargeant, P20.
18:27:40
Tsunoda, P6 is on new. So is Ricardo. Everyone else is on used soft.
18:28:45
90 seconds of fire up.
18:29:07
So, pit limiter on.
18:29:28
Forty-five seconds.
18:29:42
Bytepoint find, 30 seconds.
18:29:58
Fifteen seconds.
18:30:25
Clutch position on target.
18:31:17
So just keep working those tyres.
18:31:58
We'll be coasting from turn 14 exit.
18:32:19
And two burnouts starting P17 Stroll with the final burnout P9 Sainz.
18:33:20
Last car approaching the back of the grid.
18:34:05
Norris ahead 0.5, Lewis behind 0.4.
18:34:43
Verstappen ahead 1 second, Norris behind 0.5.
18:34:50
It will be DRS next lap.
18:35:21
Verstappen ahead 0.7, Norris behind 0.7. I think strat 13.
18:35:57
Gap ahead 0.9. Behind to Norris one second. Norris does have DRS.
18:36:35
Gap ahead 0.6. Gap behind 0.9.
18:37:11
Gap ahead one second, behind one second. Norris has DRS. So you're just about to start lap 4. So think about a bit more management, turn 11.
18:37:51
Gap 0.6 ahead, 0.7 behind.
18:38:28
Gap ahead 1.3, behind 0.7.
18:38:51
Perez car behind 2.4 seconds.
18:39:45
Overhead one second behind 1.7.
18:40:23
Captain Norris, 0.9 to Perez, 1.8.
18:40:33
I think I need to push high speed a bit more. It's two on my nose.
18:41:00
So we suggest B1, EB1 for that high speed. Gap ahead 1.2, behind 1.3.
18:41:40
Lando Norris ahead 1.6, Perez behind 1.2.
18:42:17
Gap ahead 2 seconds. Perez behind 0.6 with DRS.
18:42:22
Main loss, turn 8, locking.
18:43:31
Gap behind point 8.
18:43:35
We're happy what you're doing in the high speed.
18:44:11
So Perez now 0.6 behind.
18:46:04
Gap ahead Perez 1.2. Behind Lewis 2.0. Just starting lap 11. I'll keep on top of that tyre management though for now.
18:46:33
Track temperature is 44 degrees.
18:46:44
Gap behind 1.5, behind 1.7.
18:47:23
Perez 1.3. A bit dropped at the moment. Sliding a lot by Magnusson. My seat casing is starting to drop a bit now.
18:48:40
Gap ahead 1.6, behind 1.9.
18:49:04
So, you've been doing a good job with your traction metrics.
18:49:17
Gap ahead 1.6, behind 1.8.
18:49:56
Gap ahead two seconds. Behind 1.6.
18:50:20
George, would you suggest just bringing back the entry speed a bit to turn 12 to help that snap?
18:50:34
This is a piece of Ocan I haven't drove on.
18:51:09
Copy that, George. So it's 10 laps to go at the end of this lap. Gap behind 2 seconds to Lewis.
18:51:36
What's the gap ahead, Lewis? 2.2.
18:51:48
So that's two at Leclerc. Who's fighting Tsunoda?
18:52:27
Gap behind now 2.5 to Lewis.
18:53:04
And just feedback, we're much happier with your turn 12 now.
18:53:46
Gap behind 2.6. Ahead 3.3.
18:55:01
It's chocking me a lot now. I feel like I'm closing in on phase 2. Can't be that. Gap behind is still 2.8.
18:55:23
Lewis, last lap was a 16.9.
18:55:37
I don't know how to take over the car behind him.
18:56:03
And Leclerc is similar. Very similar take.
18:56:19
Gap behind three seconds. Six laps remaining. End of this one.
18:57:57
Leclerc currently doing 16.6, 16.7.
18:58:52
Gap behind now 4.4.
18:58:59
Four laps remaining.
18:59:12
Cut mode. Happy where we are.
19:00:05
And I have green 1 position 14, green 1 position 14. Gap behind 4.4 to Leclerc.
19:00:31
So Leclerc last lap was a 16.4.
19:01:24
Gap behind 3.7. That will be two laps remaining over the line.
19:02:40
So, gap behind 3.5. We've got Strat 2 available over the line if you want. This is the final lap coming up.
19:03:59
No transcript available
19:04:11
Good job at the start there. Nice overtaking, some nice moves. It's a shame it dropped away from us.
19:04:20
Yeah, well, I don't think we did all we could, Dan. A lot to look at tonight. Try and find that pace. Yeah, copy that. So, final order, Verstappen, Norris, Perez, yourself, Leclerc, then Tsunoda, Lewis, Sainz in P8.
19:04:48
Just let me know in the brakes.
19:04:59
Let's just avoid low brake pressure, but they'll be fine.
19:05:19
Em Jack, I guess you saw what happened there. Except the last corner, last lap.
19:05:26
Discuss in the garage.
19:06:05
What was the pace of Max and Lando at the end?
19:06:10
Max at the end was doing 14.8, 14.7 and Norris 14.8 and Norris was doing 15.3, 15.4.
