Max Verstappen
08:03:55
OK, so that's Magnussen. He was the lead car. He's just completed his lap.
08:04:53
For reference, Checo's first lap was a 35.3.
08:05:01
You have Daniel 12 seconds behind on a push lap. Track is clear ahead.
08:07:09
I reach out and jump this.
08:07:13
So, double slope. Look out for Piastri now opening a lap behind you. Four seconds.
08:07:22
Leclerc put to P2, a tenth behind Leclerc. Piastri 1.5 behind.
08:07:34
Hamilton behind I think is on a build. I'll keep you posted. He is on DRS. Gap behind four seconds. He's off DRS, so definitely not pushing.
08:07:45
You can let him through though. You just keep your delta at minus one. Hamilton 2.5.
08:07:53
Not on a time-lap.
08:08:06
Any immediate need to come through the pitlane for an adjustment, Max? No, I don't think so. OK, understood.
08:08:28
OK, so you've got Magnussen, he's also on a slow lap. The first car on a push is Daniel, he's 10 seconds behind. Now apex 12.
08:08:40
Daniel 8.
08:08:54
3. Let it through before 14.
08:09:00
OK, then I will expect that potentially Russell-Hulkenberg gap behind you opening laps.
08:09:08
I'll be posted.
08:09:24
OK, Leclerc second push after a single call was a 34.0. Sainz second push 34.7.
08:09:39
Russell live. Okay, so we have Russell live for six seconds.
08:10:38
Checo, lap 2, 34.5.
08:10:47
OK, increase gap to Russell.
08:10:51
No throats behind.
08:11:00
Okay Max, let's get going. Let's get going.
08:13:04
OK, recharge on. Double slope. That's just a tenth behind Charles.
08:13:13
That's P2.
08:13:28
Magnussen now, 2.5, time lap.
08:13:43
Hulkenberg, four seconds on a push.
08:13:54
3.5
08:13:57
The only deficit across cars, Max, is braking for turn 14. Maybe you felt it, you undershot it there that last lap, judging by your delta, but all good, you banked the lap. Hulkenberg 1.5 behind.
08:14:17
Our next car is Fernando, 3.5.
08:14:29
Fernando, 2.5.
08:14:33
Target minus one, Max. Target minus one. Focus on cooling your tyres, not giving people toes.
08:14:40
Next one is Zhou at 3.5. Coming through.
08:14:47
And then Gasly 3.5, so push 314 to get clear of him.
08:14:56
Well done. Now lap 3.
08:15:02
OK, you then have Bottas at three seconds, closing a lap.
08:15:12
OK, the first car opening a lap is Daniel. He's currently five seconds behind.
08:15:21
So again, target minus one.
08:15:25
Daniel, five seconds.
08:15:37
Daniel, three seconds. And let us know if you'd like any recommendations on tools, Max. I don't think so. Daniel, two seconds.
08:15:58
Okay, the next corner push is Tsunoda. Four seconds.
08:16:03
He's still got a few cars to get through.
08:16:07
Leclerc, third push was a 33.6. Sainz, 33.8. Tsunoda, 3.5.
08:16:28
Tsunoda, three seconds. Yeah, I don't know what's going on here now. Yeah, you've got an Alfa and Gasly behind, so Zhou and Gasly behind. Tsunoda's now past Gasly. Tsunoda at 2. Stay in front of Zhou, but let Tsunoda through.
08:16:47
Tsunoda is coming through now, Max. Then make a gap to the cars ahead.
08:16:54
What the fuck is that Alpine doing? No idea. Just build a gap to the cars ahead, Max.
08:17:00
No threats behind.
08:17:48
See you later. Two seconds.
08:18:22
So, Foxmax, look out for the weighbridge, otherwise straight to Gente. You've got Stroll two seconds behind.
08:19:08
For what it's worth, Max, he didn't make it through in Q1.
08:32:07
Currently P1 is Alonso, 33.8.
08:32:23
What do you think is Alpina's doing?
08:32:28
Unsure. I don't know how much fuel he's got on board but I would expect he's pitting. He was on a scrub tyre. So just get yourself margined to Mercedes.
08:32:40
Yeah, we're expecting him to pit, Max. No threats behind.
08:34:46
OK, double slow please, Max.
08:35:39
OK, so first corner push is Bottas, 12 seconds.
08:36:03
Bottas, six seconds.
08:36:24
OK, so now we just need to be on top of the cars behind us opening laps, Max.
08:36:41
First car, Sargeant, then immediately behind Fernando. Sargeant at 4 seconds. 3.5. 2.5.
08:36:58
Fernando now at 2. Fernando is not pushing.
08:37:09
OK, Daniel is pushing. Three seconds.
08:37:23
Daniel, 1.5.
08:37:27
OK, so Leclerc 32.8, Sainz 33.3, you are P3 on a 33.6, Magnussen just half a tenth behind you, P4.
08:37:42
Hamilton, it's two and a half tenths behind you and likewise, Checo.
08:37:48
That was Checo's second push.
08:38:04
You position as you need to here.
08:38:08
He has many cars. I don't think I can be on the delta like this. Yep, understood.
08:38:27
So, no threats behind. No threats behind.
08:38:36
Maybe Gasly is still on a push. He's at 13 seconds though. I'll get you posted. Just increase your gap to Bottas. You focus on that. Gasly is at 9 seconds. Gasly 8. Still plenty of time.
08:41:12
Yeah, there's so much more in it somehow. This is my first time, I can find a bit more time, but there's so much grip out there.
08:42:15
B-Bal offset plus one. B-Bal offset plus one.
08:48:45
Don't forget to make your gap.
08:49:15
Gap 8 to Charles.
08:50:11
What's the gap ahead? So you've got both Ferraris and Fernando to go.
08:50:19
Fernando has gone.
08:50:28
Charles, let's go.
08:52:58
Fuck it up. That was close.
08:53:10
Yeah, not a bad lap that, Max. I don't think Charles was particularly happy with his lap, but we can go again. Anything we can do to help you at turn 14 in entry?
08:53:23
I don't know, I just tried to brake later. So not late enough, I guess.
08:53:53
I think my outlap preparation was better though. I would definitely prefer that. Understood, Max.
08:58:03
OK, Sainz is not pushing. Sainz is not pushing.
08:59:57
It's like chewing on a tyre, sliding around a lot. Yeah, roger, Max, we can box.
09:00:08
Keep pushing on the way in. Fernando, 12 seconds behind. Push on the way in.
09:00:28
So, Boxmax, it was only a 32.7 for Charles on his second new set.
09:00:39
Yeah, I mean, they were just too quick over one lap. It's okay.
09:00:51
Fernando at 33.5.
09:00:58
Sainz, P2, obviously will take the penalty.
09:01:09
Dispatcher, Russell.
09:01:12
He's P4.33.1.
09:01:21
That was a P3, Max. Fine effort. Yeah, I think it's not too bad.
