B-Bal offset plus one.
05:55:52
Oscar, radio check. Yep, radio check. And the drinks are good as well. Excellent.
05:57:31
Car tyre info. Majority of the cars on medium. Hard starters are Hamilton, Zhou, yourself and soft starters behind you, Stroll and Tsunoda. Have a good race.
05:57:46
Thanks.
05:57:54
Oscar, I think Hamilton's starting on hard. I mean, down there on laps, the grid is reassuring.
05:59:24
Pit limiter on.
05:59:50
Thirty seconds.
05:59:58
Twenty seconds.
06:00:09
10 seconds.
06:01:23
Clutch drop feedback, you were 1% shallow.
06:03:28
And white H14 position 1, H14 1.
06:06:06
VSC deployed. Recharge on. Drive to the delta.
06:06:15
Confirming stay out.
06:06:18
Oscar, possible debris exit of turn 1. Watch for debris.
06:06:44
So, Oscar, picture update. We're currently P13. Tsunoda ahead is on soft. Perez pitted, along with Alonso and Bottas. Lando behind, obviously, on medium tyres. Hamilton drop back. He's a car behind him on hard.
06:07:04
So, let's try and keep the temperature in the tyres.
06:07:18
Drive to the delta, please. Drive to the delta.
06:07:53
And, Oscar, with the car behind, obviously, Lando, so free to race, but remember to put the higher cars, and we're on a different strategy.
06:08:04
VSC ending, recharge off.
06:08:59
DRS enabled.
06:09:45
Safety car deployed. Recharge on. Now overtaking. Drive to the delta.
06:09:54
And confirming stay out, Oscar.
06:09:58
Copy. That was Lando out behind. I'll give you an update.
06:10:04
Yeah, I saw. Yeah, he's OK. Confirming he's OK.
06:12:00
Oscar, we can go recharge off for deployment to help with tyre temperatures.
06:12:09
And Oscar, picture update, so car ahead still Tsunoda on soft, Hamilton car behind on hard tyres from the race start, then Ricciardo on medium and then P14 down to P19 are all on hard tyres.
06:12:35
And Oscar, feedback. Turn 11 into 12. Lando lost it on the bump before braking, so bottoming out there.
06:13:11
And recharge on now, Oscar.
06:13:18
And Oscar, let's keep temperature in the tyres where we can. Are you happy with them for the restart?
06:13:26
Yeah, it's going to be difficult, but I think it's difficult for everyone. Soft doesn't look that much better on Tsunoda. Yeah, understood. We saw that.
06:14:21
So, Oscar, further update. Ahead of Tsunoda, all those cars are on medium from the race start, so we have the lead hard tyre runner.
06:14:47
And Oscar, we can have a bit more weaving where possible. Help keep temperature in the tyres.
06:15:18
White H4 position two. White H4 position two.
06:16:13
Oscar, track is now clear. Expecting safety car in this lap.
06:16:21
And you can lean on the front left a bit more in turn 4. A bit more front left temperature. Keep warming the tyres as you're doing.
06:16:47
Safety car in this lap. So, Oscar, we can start generating some surface temperature. Help switch these tyres on.
06:16:56
And brake balance for the restart. Consider down 1% brake balance for the tyre temperatures. Happy if you want to go a bit further. Protect turn 1.
06:17:41
Verstappen is dropping back in the safety car now, currently in turn 13.
06:18:00
Safety car in turn 14 now. Recharge off ready for the restart.
06:18:17
Safety car pitlane entry now.
06:19:59
Nice work, Oscar. Let's keep bringing these tyres in.
06:21:41
OK, good job, Oscar. We are P9, so medium runners ahead. Looks to be working well, so let's keep managing the tyres.
06:22:06
And DRS enabled.
06:23:23
Hulkenberg one second, Ocon 0.4.
06:25:31
Magnussen, point six.
06:25:54
Pack is low. Anti-overtake where you can.
06:26:51
And Oscar, keep managing the rear thermal. Expect Hamilton to be the car behind soon.
06:27:32
Oscar, suggest plus one brake balance. Hamilton car behind one second.
06:28:19
Oscar, consider mid diff to help with the rotation.
06:28:25
And Alpine pace currently 39.5.
06:29:09
Hamilton, point seven.
06:29:59
Go ahead, Oscar. It's a slight grainy on the inside. Push on the tyre on the front right. Copy.
06:30:27
And Oscar, all medium runners look to be suffering graining as well. Cars ahead, Albon, Sargeant, Ocon.
06:30:48
0.7 Hamilton and Oscar reminder back right toggle to help rotation.
06:32:10
Sergeant, 0.5. Good work, Oscar.
06:32:14
Hamilton now the car behind.
06:32:30
Albon, last lap was 1.40, so he's going to be coming back towards us.
06:33:19
Alright, starting to get more understeer.
06:33:25
Yeah, copy that, Oscar. Consider mid diff and toggles. Hamilton point seven.
06:33:45
Oscar, feedback. If you were to redo this stint, would you add more flap? Same tyre? Yeah, one turn. Copy.
06:34:57
0.4 Hamilton. Oscar, medium tyre runners are starting to pit, so the traffic should clear. So our race will be with Hamilton behind. Our objective is to extend.
06:35:27
Box, box, box. Box down, box down.
06:35:39
Oscar Pitlane, keep the launch map on.
06:35:54
Launch map. Launch map.
06:36:06
Racing Sargeant at exit.
06:36:47
Consider mid diff reset, red button where you can, for overtake on the back straight.
06:37:07
Magnussen, point eight.
06:39:32
Bottas ahead. 17-lap-old hard tyres. Last lap 40.8.
06:40:49
Good job, Oscar. These tyres are now in. Based on the first stint, we can use the rears a bit more. Tyres look good.
06:41:11
So, let's keep managing the front right. Albon ahead, 19 lap hold, medium tyres.
06:42:26
And Oscar, strat 7.
06:42:31
Could be racing. Ocon at pit exit.
06:45:15
OK, good job, Oscar. This pace is very strong. Front running pace. Let's go get Gasly. Last lap he was 38.7.
06:46:07
Last lap was purple, Oscar. Good job. We need this pace.
06:46:53
So, Oscar, we are plan B, target lap. Just take care, braking turn 7, front and rear locking limited there.
06:47:21
I won't get this tyre status.
06:47:26
Gasly, five lap old, hard tyres.
06:47:43
Zhou, the car ahead of him, 23-lap-old hard tyres. Last lap 43.0. 40.3. He'll be coming back to us.
06:50:03
Track slippery ahead, much of a debris on exit.
06:50:19
Keep an eye on the pressures. There's a little bit right now. Copy that.
06:50:38
Pressures look OK, Oscar.
06:51:31
Track still slippery ahead. Still debris. Turn 12.
06:51:44
Safety car deployed. Recharge on. No overtaking.
06:51:53
Oscar, tyre and balance feedback.
06:51:58
Tyres feel OK. Getting a little bit worse, but not too bad. Balance is more neutral than I just didn't want. Struggling with the rear a little bit. Copy that and zero to the delta. Copy racing cars at pit exit.
06:52:19
Cars are pitting ahead. Zero on the delta.
06:53:18
And Oscar, we can have strat 6 now for the restart. Car behind is Verstappen. He's on new hard tyres.
06:53:39
What's the picture?
06:53:46
Take care, Oscar. Marshall's on track in turn 12. Double yellows there.
06:53:53
Oscar, it's Tom. So, ahead of you, Leclerc, Perez and Gasly. Perez has stopped. Leclerc's tyres are only five laps old. Gasly's nine lap hard. That's similar age to yours. Behind you is Verstappen, new hard. Ocon and Stroll. Stroll's just pitted for a hard as well. All those cars can go to the end.
06:54:16
Copy. How many cars still have to pit?
06:54:33
So, Oscar, we think all cars will try and go to the end from here, but some of them are on medium behind. Zhou on medium, Bottas on medium.
06:55:12
So, Oscar, our cars looked good at the restart. It seems like we do well getting temperature. Verstappen may be quick, but you're racing the Alpines, you're racing Stroll, Albon behind Stroll as well. We're definitely still in this race.
06:55:58
And Oscar, feedback for you from the first stint. Leclerc went to lap 20 on the medium.
06:56:25
And Oscar, feedback again on the medium, so Leclerc managed that by introducing the tyre with lifting through turn 11, so we'll want that on the medium for the first five laps. Potentially also a little bit of saving in 3-4, but 11 is the key for us. And safety car is ending. Copy. Strat 6 is good for the restart. We can start generating some surface temperature. Consider brake balance for turn 1.
06:56:58
Leclerc is the lead car.
06:57:12
Safety car pulling away now. Recharge off.
06:57:18
And a reminder for Overtake out of the final corner. Safety car in turn 14 now. And Leclerc complaining about cold tyres. Could be opportunities.
07:00:49
Gasly, 1.5.
07:01:19
DRS enabled.
07:01:37
Leclerc last lap was a 38.2.
07:02:26
And Oscar, measured wind could be picking up a bit. Just take care, tailwind in the braking zones, rear slip management.
07:02:51
And strat 7. Strat 7.
07:02:57
Verstappen now the car behind.
07:03:15
That lap was purple. His pace is good. Let's go.
07:04:53
Verstappen last lap, 36.6.
07:05:38
Verstappen 0.6. The car is struggling a bit. Understood. This pace is good. We don't want to lose time with Verstappen. Priority, keep extending. The car is behind and dropping back.
07:06:07
And Oscar suggests up on mid-diff. Let's start protecting the rears.
07:06:13
Gasly, two seconds back.
07:06:33
Gasly, last lap 37.8. If we can keep matching or beating that, we'll keep extending.
07:07:17
Ocon now the car behind.
07:07:46
Oscar, turn 1 suggests to avoid the apex kerb, upsetting the rear.
07:08:09
16 laps remaining.
07:08:39
It's getting better again. Understood.
07:09:46
Alpins behind last lap, 37.4.
07:11:22
Oscar, reminder on red mid if you need a bit more rotation. Now the rears are recovered.
07:13:01
I'm starting to struggle a bit more, I guess. Copy.
07:13:45
Oscar Albon, eight seconds behind. 37-lap-old medium tyres. Did a 1.38 last lap. He's dragging people back.
07:13:57
Correction, Albon is on hard tyres.
07:14:02
Covered.
07:14:15
What position is he? P8.
07:15:25
Albon last lap, 37.8.
07:16:15
Alpine's behind similar level of graining. Ocon last lap 36.9.
07:17:29
And Oscar, both safety car windows open. Both safety car windows are open.
07:18:23
And Oscar suggests back right toggle for turn 12.
07:18:39
And Oscar, please confirm both safety car windows are open. Copy.
07:20:17
Front right start to struggle. Copy that. If we can keep generating pace, keep going. Otherwise, we're ready for you. And Oscar, for medium, we would not need any introduction. We will need to start making our way through the field.
07:20:49
So, Oscar, use the tyre, use the tyre.
07:22:00
Okay, Oscar, we have boxed this lap. We will be racing at the pit exit and reset the mid diff before the pitlane entry. Copy and boxed. I think I can keep this pace if that helps.
07:22:21
Oscar, box now. Box now. Box. Copy.
07:22:34
And launch on support now.
07:22:45
Launch path, launch path.
07:24:21
I've got the car ahead of me.
07:24:26
Nine seconds. Gasly car ahead. Nine seconds.
07:24:42
Albon, point 8.
07:24:46
Oh, let's get to this pace.
07:25:12
Gasly, 27 lap old hards. Last lap 39.9.
07:25:29
Is he with any other cars?
07:25:32
Gasly is struggling. He's dropping back from Hamilton, Alonso and Sainz ahead of him. We are currently P11. Hamilton's lap time 37.3.
07:25:57
What's the fastest lap?
07:26:02
Fastest lap 35.6. Five laps to go from here.
07:26:19
And Gasly, last lap was 38.8.
07:27:55
And that was the last of this lap. Gasly 3.6 ahead.
07:28:25
I can't believe I reached the car ahead of Gasly.
07:28:41
Oscar Alonso, last lap 37.2. Looks tight but the cars are battling so there could be opportunities.
07:30:44
Two laps to go. Alonso, five seconds.
07:31:07
What a disgrace.
07:31:12
Alonso last lap, 37.2.
07:32:26
And this is the last lap, Alonso 4.3.
07:34:02
And Oscar, leave recharge off and white H11 position 13.
07:34:24
Okay, Oscar, that was P10 and fastest lap.
07:34:29
A shame what happened there with the puncture. Pace was looking really strong. But, you know, we take the points that are on the board. Unfortunately, it was only the point for P10 and fastest lap. But, you know, pace was good. So, nice recovery after qualifying.
07:34:48
Yeah, I feel like we deserved a lot more from that, but thank you everyone. Difficult weekend, but yeah, take the couple of points. First lap's cool, so thank you. And yeah, definitely some positives out of that race, so thank you very much.
07:36:47
So, Oscar, we can keep recharge off and usual instructions, which is stop the car, engine off, wait five seconds and then make sure you switch the car fully off.
