Max Verstappen
10:32:45
Track is clear ahead, Max.
10:36:23
OK, so just give yourself some margin to go ahead, Max.
10:38:45
I think it might be a little bit hot now. Understeer max. Let's prep ourselves for the next lap.
10:38:54
We can go recharge on at mode 1. And then strat 6. Look out for Zhou coming through. Zhou coming through and Stroll also on a push. OK, Zhou's backed out, but Stroll is still on the push. 2.5.
10:39:14
So, Stroll 1.5.
10:39:18
And then Alex at 4.
10:39:27
Alexa, 2.5.
10:39:37
Recharge all please, Max.
10:39:50
So P1 currently, Leclerc on a soft 38.9, Sainz 39.8, Alonso soft 40.0, you are at 40.0. So Tsunoda at 3 seconds max on a push. Recommend you maintain track position if you can. Tsunoda 3 seconds still.
10:40:15
Recharge when you're ready.
10:42:09
There'll be a recharge on when you close the lap.
10:42:23
Downshift to celibate aggressive. OK, stand by.
10:42:36
So if you felt the tyres were OK turn 1 and we hadn't cooled the bolt too far max, then you can look at a slightly slower charge lap.
10:42:56
Let's have display 13. Display 1-3. Position 1.
10:43:11
First corner push is Hamilton at 8 seconds.
10:43:27
Hamilton at 4.5.
10:43:46
Okay Max, so there are yellows at 14. Stroll is stopped at the moment. We do have yellows at 14. Just think about an offset of minus one on the offset for the time lap at turn 14. So the only car on a push at the moment is Tsunoda, seven seconds, so increase gap to Hamilton.
10:44:07
Tsunoda, 5.5.
10:46:04
I'm going to pre-charge on a box this lap, Max. Box this lap.
10:46:13
Keep up the pace on the way.
10:47:17
Go back, so stop on the box.
10:47:35
Max, if you could have a first proper look at the pitlane entry, please.
10:55:37
So Leclerc has aborted his first time lap on soft.
10:56:00
So the toggle plan, Max, is pull toggle at turn 12 and the left hand button at 14. So pull toggle turn 12, left hand button turn 14.
10:56:40
So we need to increase the gap, Tottas.
10:56:52
That is a gap of 3.5 to Bottas. I don't feel relaxed.
10:57:16
So we've now got Charles on a push lap, 2.5 behind.
10:57:47
So Charles has now avoided as well.
10:57:55
The first car on the time-lap is Stroll at 10 seconds.
10:58:02
So your tyres are going to be hotter than desired now, Max. So just make sure you get the gaps with the car hood, please.
10:59:59
You've got Leclerc and Fernando approaching.
11:00:08
Leclerc and then Fernando.
11:00:15
So Fernando is not pushing.
11:00:29
So, behind you, Daniel on an outlap. Six seconds.
11:02:49
So charge lap and we'll go for one final push.
11:02:54
Yeah, I'll try to cool them down a bit now and see how that is. Yeah, OK. That's a tenth and a half behind Carlos, a tenth ahead of Charles.
11:03:06
Sector 1, half a tenth behind Carlos. Sector 2, we are three tenths behind Charles. So you've got Daniel behind on a three seconds. Daniel behind three seconds. On a push.
11:03:21
And then you are purple in sector 3. Next car is Hamilton, that's 4.
11:03:29
Hamilton at 3, 2.5.
11:03:40
OK, next car, Charles. Five seconds.
11:04:01
Okay, now there's a group of cars on slow laps that I would recommend maintaining track position with. So you've got Checo, Tsunoda, Zhou, both Williams.
11:04:23
So it's still sector 2 back. It's now four tenths to Charles.
11:04:33
All cars on out or charge laps behind you, so recharge off when you're ready.
11:06:43
OK, I think we'll box this lap, Max.
11:06:56
OK, so that's three tenths to Leclerc, URP3. You're purple in sector 1 by two tenths to Charles. It's three tenths down, two and a half tenths down in sector 2. And sector 3 is Hamilton, three tenths.
11:08:21
On the marks, switch off.
11:21:30
Don't really work the tyres, Max. No threats behind.
11:22:04
Okay, three cars still waiting to open laps.
11:24:31
Come and have a recharge on, please Max.
11:24:35
We'll have one final push attempt to cool the tyres and currently no threats behind.
11:24:45
I feel like the track is getting more and more bumpy already.
11:24:55
So currently P1, half a tenth ahead of Carlos, who also improved on his second set of softs. Sector-wise, we are just under two tenths down to Leclerc in sector 1. You are purple in 2 and we are down in 3, but there could be a reason for that.
11:25:17
Sub offset to 1 may also be the same reason as well.
11:25:26
First corner push is Tsunoda at 12.5.
11:26:00
So, Yuki at five seconds, Max. And that's Carlos ahead. Yuki at three.
11:26:13
OK, so Charles has now approved to a 35.6.
11:28:27
Okay, we'll box this lap next. Recharge on and box this lap.
11:29:33
There was a car in the runoff but I didn't see any yellow. OK, understeer max. No warnings here either. Box this lap, stop at the marks and switch off.
11:36:36
Front slip.
11:36:56
Track is clear.
11:37:04
So, ahead of you, Gasly, low fuel.
11:37:08
And Stroll, no fuel.
11:37:52
So, the initial feeling is the front right is potentially going to be the limitation with the graining max, so look after it. High fuel pace at this stage for Mercedes is mid 39s.
11:38:08
But their initial laps were around a second slower than that.
11:41:03
Yeah, I think they're ready to open up. Understood, thank you.
11:42:11
And box this lap, Max. Box this lap.
11:43:12
So, box max. There'll be a launch from the box. Launch from the box.
11:43:30
Mode 3 now. Mode 3.
11:43:58
So Leclerc and Hamilton alongside.
11:44:04
And then there's a gap to checker.
11:44:07
Boat 6.
11:44:16
So, Russell struggled with his front tyres.
11:44:21
Hamilton pace settled on a 40.0 on the medium.
11:45:01
Max, if we feel we'd like to control the level of sliding on the brakes, B-Bal 1 is available. That's minus 2% of peak. More forwards in entry.
11:45:38
I hit something quite hard. Step out.
11:45:56
Right under the car.
11:46:46
Happy for you to continue at the moment, Max.
11:47:00
Max, er, just...
11:47:15
I'll be a bit on the right. Yeah, understood.
11:48:10
Leclerc, first two laps 41.0. Hamilton still circulating 40.4.
11:49:24
So seven more, including this one, Max.
11:51:48
He's struggling a lot with the rear tyres now.
11:52:16
Expecting Hamilton to pit this lap.
11:52:40
That's five laps, including this one.
11:53:34
Leclerc, 38.9.
11:55:38
Three bollocks, mates.
11:55:56
So, Leclerc, new medium, lap 7, 38.9.
11:57:38
Leclerc 39.4.
11:58:30
Strat 7, Strat 7.
11:58:53
And final lap, Max. Final lap.
11:59:33
So you've got Checo coming through, Russell and Gasly.
11:59:56
You want me to park or do I stay out? Yes, please.
12:00:13
Fail 11. Fail 11. Fail.
12:00:21
And strat, full table.
12:00:56
Mode 12, Max. Background, mode 12.
12:02:07
So Max, three burnouts and right hand side please. Three burnouts, right hand side.
12:03:33
OK, if you push out the way, please, Max.
