05:55:16
Radio check. Yep, radio is good.
05:55:38
OK, once you're ready, please make sure you check where all the switches are. Offset minus two, toggles off. We move to meet 7.
05:56:00
All good on switches. Yep, all good on switches. Be a little bit quiet if you can. Make sure your microphone is well positioned. Can you hear me? Radio check. Yeah, it's good.
05:56:36
Okay, make sure pit limiter is off, please. Okay, make sure pit limiter is off, please. When we drop the car, as always, we do a right turn. As always, you are currently on 15% limiter before the yellow line. But you are quite far to the right-hand side of the box, so make sure you are on the right-hand side of the box.
05:56:56
Actually, maybe it's not too bad where we are here. The line is a bit better than where we did the left-hand side of the track.
05:57:10
So tyre warming, we are looking at 4 or 5, but I will let you know before conversion.
05:57:41
Ok Daniel, so we've got all the cars around you on medium, Stroll is on soft, next to Yuki, and there is a couple of cars on hard at the back.
05:57:56
Okay, understood.
06:00:48
OK, that was one shallow. Target is three shallow. Not too far. OK, good work on those tyres. We try to work hard on these tyres.
06:02:22
Okay, I will try to build up some speed on good weaving.
06:02:40
Four times tyre warming.
06:02:47
And if you're still happy, we will go to offset minus three for the start.
06:02:59
So when you are ready, that will be first gear, click overtake, four tyre warming. On mode 3 for the start.
06:03:08
I will remind you for mode 6, on forward offset before turn 14, one click.
06:03:22
But I leave the offset to you before turn 14. If you think the front is a limitation, we can keep the offset minus three for one full lap, if you prefer.
06:04:04
OK, last car forming now.
06:05:42
Mode 6. Click of a tick.
06:05:49
And push to go to variable if it's difficult of them.
06:06:10
Vehicle safety car charging.
06:06:17
And keep the pressure on the tyres. Keep up the weaving all the time, please. OK, hard luck at the start. Long rest to go.
06:06:50
Do you think it will be low?
06:06:59
It shouldn't be too long. Just a few debris. It shouldn't be too long.
06:07:08
Make sure you stay close to the wall and close to the car heads.
06:07:15
Yeah, I think it's almost done. They're cleaning the debris now.
06:07:38
And let's go mode 5 in the background, please. Behind you is Zhou on hard.
06:08:05
VSC ending, charge off, get ready. VSC ending, charge off.
06:09:21
DRS enabled.
06:09:47
Safety car, safety car, mode 14.
06:09:54
Do you want recharge or just mode 14? Mode 14, recharge off.
06:10:02
And let's go offset minus two.
06:10:14
I will keep working on tyres, please. So it's currently P14. Ahead of you are Hamilton, Piastri and Yuki. Hamilton and Piastri ahead are on hard.
06:10:25
Okay, there is a couple of cars boxing. Stay close to zero, please.
06:11:01
Okay, so Stroll and Sainz, pit it, 4 hot.
06:11:15
So that's now B13 currently with a pitstop.
06:11:33
Yeah, I think that greening will probably be bad, but I think if we pit too early, we'll maybe just run out of tyres, so... Copy. Agreed. And watch out for debris in the next corner on double yellow there. Make sure you follow the car ahead of you.
06:12:53
And if you can manage your tyres at the moment, consider another kick forward on the offset. But if you prefer to keep it safe, happy to stay aware.
06:13:09
You mean for now or before we get going? For now. It's just to help the front brakes. We have a very small delta across the front brakes.
06:13:20
But if you think the offsets here will give you more confidence and efficiency, we can also stay at minus two. I'll leave it to you.
06:13:46
OK, so we have to predict a bit of a train behind Yuki. He will struggle on the soft. Only car on soft at the moment. And then we have a mixed bag of cars on hard and medium.
06:14:05
So, currently looking at the pictures, tyres for a circuit.
06:14:17
On the car directly behind you, Zou on hard.
06:14:26
BNZ, Stroll and Perez.
06:14:32
And same again in turn 12. We watch for debris.
06:15:07
Okay, so everyone is complaining about tyre temperatures. Same for everyone.
06:15:13
I have to get back to the pitlane.
06:15:27
Okay, let's go back to offset minus two, so we make sure we don't have any front locking.
06:16:05
OK, the track is clear in turn 12, so maybe one more lap. Maybe one more lap of Septicon.
06:16:15
So, both cars ahead of you are on hot, and we try to stand nice and close to the carriage.
06:16:21
And a reminder, when we restart the race, we cannot overtake until the line.
06:16:32
What mode do you want? When will you restart? It will be mode 3 for the restart and I will call you again for mode 6 in the back straight.
06:16:50
So safety car in this lap, I will call you the mode on switches in turn 12. We stay where we are for now.
06:16:59
So front tyres will be on the low side. Likely the same for many other cars. We have to do the best that we can with that. We will go to minus 3 offset.
06:17:25
So, exit of turn 12, it will be Cajon, mode 3 in the background. We wait for after turn 12, please.
06:18:01
All switches are good. Remainder on tyre temperatures. Racing from the line.
06:18:12
And you can go charge off when you want. Max is dropping the pace now. If you are going very slow, happy to go charge off to be ready.
06:20:01
Mode 6. Click, overtake.
06:20:06
Yeah, very hard with grip on tyres on our car. We just have to be a little bit patient.
06:21:45
And consider keeping the push-toggle latch to try to help as much as we can. Yuki has got similar issues.
06:22:10
DRS enabled. DRS enabled. Zou, one ahead.
06:23:24
We can keep doing the same with the brake offset. Offset forward for turn 14. One click.
06:23:52
Mode 7. Mode 7.
06:24:44
Yuki is boxing this lap, Daniel.
06:25:57
Mode 9. Mode 9.
06:26:09
Behind you is Perez. We focus on the front. Zhou, go ahead.
06:26:48
Okay, be careful with overtake usage. Don't overdo it. It's difficult on this track.
06:26:56
And we have Hulkenberg ahead of you, going slow. Two ahead.
06:27:15
Okay, let's try to use Perez and we make some positions.
06:28:26
One-click overtake available.
06:28:33
Always stay in mode 9.
06:29:33
Struggling with the backseat. Put more to the front.
06:29:39
Copy that. You can open the doors. You can keep doing what you've just been doing.
06:29:47
And we start to see greening on the right. It's light.
06:31:51
Let's see if they clear us. They clear now, but it's still really difficult.
06:31:59
We have slippery track reported via EOA. Possible debris.
06:32:16
Keep opening the tools. We'll try to recover it.
06:32:24
Bottas, six behind.
06:32:42
Let's go N37 if we have no stability issues.
06:33:11
Yeah, even straight line braking is very poor at the front grip. Braking all around. We are monitoring.
06:33:31
So the next tyre will come up quite a lot firmly.
06:33:58
EB8, EB8, and gap to Bottas behind consistent 6.5.
06:35:13
Mid 4.
06:35:46
OK, large number of cars in the pitlane. May I attempt traffic with the kids?
06:36:03
Can you repeat? I didn't hear you. All OK now. All OK. Next car behind, Albon, 5.5.
06:36:57
Let's make sure we give the front brake a good hit.
06:37:04
Box, box, box, box. We are heading front flap.
06:37:20
André Mandor, you're in offset minus 12.
06:37:34
Yep, pitlane. Reset switches. Backup and diff entry on the diff mid.
06:37:56
Let's try to look after the tyres in the opening laps, if you can.
06:38:07
Behind you is Hamilton.
06:38:54
OK, consider coming back on E-B. Consider coming back on the E-B for the opening laps.
06:39:01
What tyre are you using? Hamilton, medium.
06:39:48
And others are also suffering draining on the hards. So we keep looking after the front in the first few laps.
06:40:40
Strat 3 for performance. Strat 3. Yuki medium is doing 40.1.
06:41:42
OK, Daniel, we'd like to introduce a bit of lift-off turn 14 and turn 1 to help with front tyre temperature.
06:42:16
OK, Yuki is currently 4 ahead and is really struggling with front tyres.
06:42:24
Have you turned 2.3 heads?
06:42:29
Okay, okay, thought about it.
06:43:06
So Hulkenberg, who is our target ahead of Yuki, is doing 39.8. Your last time was a 39.7. Yuki 3 ahead, struggling.
06:43:56
Yuki will box this lap. He's out of tyres.
06:45:37
Last lap compared to Hulkenberg was 1 tenth braking turn 12. Consider going up one step on diff middle to put a bit more stability in the car. We are a little bit on the nose now, but if you can deal with that, happy to stay. Be out for 3-0 with it.
06:46:05
So, greening is affecting all four tyres, but front is the main limitation.
06:46:21
Bottas ahead of Hamilton, who was two seconds slower the last two laps.
06:46:27
It's going to be definitely a tyre management race.
06:46:33
Happy Easter.
06:46:41
OK, we start to see a little bit of graining inside of the front. Keep looking after the front.
06:47:18
When you can, strat 4 for performance.
06:47:45
Hamilton is 4 ahead and Bottas 8 ahead.
06:48:07
On your pace is currently aligned to the Haas ahead of Bottas, but Williams is five tenths faster.
06:48:23
Understood. We are checking GPS.
06:48:56
OK, Daniel, if there is anything you can do with the driving, one place we are hurting the front right, is understeer on power, exit turn 1. Understeer on power, exit turn 1. If there is anything we can try to do there.
06:49:23
Bottas ahead is 1.8 slower. OK, Bottas boxing, we're good. Keep up the pace.
06:50:09
Watch out for turn 12. There is debris in turn 12. Two cars touch each other at turn 12. Be careful there, please. Do you know if it's inside or outside? Negative, it's on track. It's somewhere on track. Outside, outside turn 12. Be careful there.
06:50:44
OK, Hulkenberg is doing low 39, high 38. These are our targets.
06:51:02
On main defence to the Haas is braking.
06:51:07
Turn 5, braking turn 5. It's one and a half tenths to Hulkenberg.
06:51:44
Safety car, safety car.
06:51:50
Mode 14. Keep up tyre temperature. We stay out.
06:51:58
We need to keep tyre temperature at the front as much as we can. The problem before, that was we started with cold tyres and pushed on cold tyres. And we opened big greening.
06:52:12
Please, reminder on debris turn 12.
06:52:19
Temperature will help front tyres.
06:52:34
Stay close to zero in case there is some car splitting around us.
06:53:04
OK, Hamilton is pitting. Stay close to zero. Some cars in the pitlane. Lots of cars in the pitlane still.
06:53:16
OK. Fighting half-speed exits. Stay close to zero.
06:53:24
OK, we are in front of Hulkenberg.
06:53:32
Keep up the weaving and keep putting brake temperatures.
06:53:39
And Hulkenberg went for another house. Currently P15. In front of you Magnussen also went for us.
06:53:52
So we are aligned to the cars around. Aligned to them. They have fresher tyres, but we don't have many laps on ours. Ahead of Magnussen, Zhou has gone for a medium.
06:54:06
So, at the moment on the numbers, it's very close between a 1 and a 2. Very close.
06:54:15
Mode 11, please, when you can. Keep up the good work on the brakes.
06:54:27
We have a double yellow at turn 12.
06:54:30
Where are you?
06:55:24
Ok, that was good under brakes. Keep working to put as much front brake temp as you can.
06:55:50
OK, and we were a little far from Hamilton in the restart of the previous safety car, so we try to make sure we stay close to the carriage.
06:56:17
On Daniel's heads up, we know it's going to be very difficult, but we'll have to try to manage the front tyres with the cold tyre at the restart. Track is clear in turn 12. That might be it, let's see.
06:56:39
Safety car in this lap. We can go to offset minus three. Stay close to the car ahead, racing from the line.
06:56:47
I'll call you for the mod, wait for my call.
06:56:53
The cars around you are on hard. Both are on hard. Zhou ahead is on medium.
06:57:11
OK, let's cut your queue and then charge on mode 3.
06:57:32
OK, I leave it to you now. I will remind you for mode 6.
06:59:17
Mode 6, click of attack.
06:59:45
Okay, we're close to zero on the dash now. Head down.
07:00:59
You can use the push toggle if it's difficult to the rear. I will turn it off when the front is back up.
07:01:24
DRS enabled. Hamilton 1.2.
07:01:49
We have tailwind turn 1 and wind increase 1-7.
07:02:03
OK, that's Hulkenberg now in front. Let's go get him.
07:03:05
Bottas 2.8 behind, Hulkenberg 1.2 ahead. Hulkenberg no DRS.
07:03:58
On last laps was 1 tenth braking turn 12 compared to Hulkenberg.
07:04:20
OK, that's Hulkenberg. 1.5 ahead.
07:05:38
And we have a big gust of wind at the moment, inconsistent gust of wind.
07:05:56
So Bottas is 6 behind and Hulkenberg 1.8 ahead.
07:06:05
And the group ahead of Hulkenberg is doing 38.2.
07:06:21
On main nose to Hulkenberg, he's braking turn 7, turn 12.
07:07:14
OK, Daniel, with the current car balance, we are happy to push a bit more with the tyres if you have some space available and consider pull to goal turn 3.
07:07:31
We don't see too much front sliding anymore. At the moment, no front sliding. Happy with front tyres. So just turn 3, we can use pull toggle and we try to catch the cars right now.
07:07:44
Hulkenberg.
07:09:15
OK, the group is still very compact. 15 more laps. Keep the head down.
07:09:23
I've hit a car with a head-on failure.
07:09:38
It's only Zhou in P12, currently ahead of Hamilton, but he's going backwards.
07:10:01
On cap to Hulkenberg is stable 1.9, but they are starting to catch Sargeant.
07:10:30
So last lap was ISO to Hulkenberg, but two tenths faster than Magnussen and Sargeant ahead of Hulkenberg.
07:10:53
The balance is still on the neutral side, but if you can manage it, we'll stay as we are with the balance.
07:11:04
I have understeer.
07:12:24
OK, that's Hulkenberg 1.3 and we have a group of three cars with Sargeant ahead. Sargeant is slow.
07:13:19
Okay, you're very close to get the DRS. Hulkenberg 1.0.
07:13:47
Alright, let's try to salvage some positions and be careful with overtake usage. It's costly here.
07:14:31
So, Oedos Sargeant is Zou on medium and then we have Albon currently in P8 slowing down the park.
07:15:23
And consider mode 8, so we have all the margin necessary for overtaking.
07:15:40
On the same command compared to the house, last lap was turn 7 braking, but generally braking.
07:16:10
11 more laps.
07:16:13
Yes, quick pressure on this, guys.
07:18:12
OK, Daniel, nine more laps. Clean driving. Let's make some positions.
07:19:50
Okay, number of cars running out of tyres ahead.
07:23:55
Press and hold overtake. Press and hold. All in.
07:26:26
Four more laps. Hulkenberg, two ahead, and Zhou ahead of them, heavy grinding.
07:27:17
OK, four more laps after this. I'll leave it to you now.
07:27:41
We can open diff mid, we have apex understeer in traffic.
07:28:03
OK, so it's Zhou with big raining on the set for Albon Redoxes, guys.
07:28:33
Consider EB8, understeer increasing.
07:29:21
Onykan, open differential.
07:29:42
Two more laps after this one.
07:30:12
When you can hold the overtake for more power, press and hold. 5 seconds.
07:31:22
And that's one more lap after this one. One more after this one.
07:34:25
OK, charge on and fail 84 please.
07:34:32
OK, sorry, it's been a tough weekend for us. Sorry for that.
07:34:37
We'll learn from that.
07:34:46
Under very clear warm-up tyre issue at the septic car restarts. We'll look into it.
07:34:58
Yep, yeah, understood. Yeah, I think it was all pretty clear where we struggled. We'll try and understand that. Sorry, we couldn't really do much more.
07:35:20
Okay, so we finished P14. So, actually, Williams didn't score and our direct competitors didn't score, which is good.
07:35:30
And we've got Max P1, Leclerc P2. He overtook Perez in the second to last corner. That's Perez P3, Ocon P4, Stroll 5, Sainz 6.
07:35:44
Sainz 6, then we've got Hamilton in 7, Russell, Alonso P9 and Piastri including top 10.
07:35:53
And Yuki retired two laps to go with an issue on the car.
07:36:03
I don't know why but we have a yellow in turn 17 before the pit entry. So keep your eyes open. Not sure what's going on there.
07:36:23
OK. Understood.
07:36:28
Let's make sure once we get to the yellow section we don't overtake anyone, please.
07:36:50
Okay, Daniel, so when you stop the car, it's P1, then wait for the dash, and then P0. So obviously a very hard weekend with the performance and that being up there, but I think we keep making good progress on our side with comms and set-up and things, so we're getting there.
07:37:23
All right, yeah, we'll debrief back inside. I think it's all clear. As you mentioned, the restarts, it was honestly so hard. It was fun and real. Yeah, super clear. And then the first restart, we believe that's why we triggered so much issue afterwards on the medium. And make sure once you leave the car, you go to P0, please. Thank you. Full car switch off.
07:37:51
Okay, yeah, understood.
