12:53:07
Radio check, Lance. Radio check. Yeah.
12:53:15
You're a little quiet, Lance, but I hear you. Make sure you take a note of the yellow line when you drop the car. Remember your K0, your tyre management, and let's have a good race.
12:56:09
Radio check for the pit wall, Lance.
12:56:14
Yeah, I hear you. Yeah, you're loud and clear. Stand by for tyres.
12:57:28
So, Lance, we've got tyres. We've got Sainz and Bottas behind you on hard. Sainz, Bottas behind you on hard. Everybody else medium. And we currently do not have information on the Williams. Albon alongside of you, we don't have an indication. Majority of cars medium. Sainz and Bottas behind you hard.
12:59:36
OK, Lance, we believe both Williams are on medium. Yeah, both Williams and medium confirmed. So just Sainz and Bottas behind you on hard.
13:00:40
OK Lance, make some space in turn 1 so you can push through turn 2, 3, 4.
13:01:02
So, Lance, you can do a 50 metre lift and good brake application into 5 and then take some space. Important, we can maintain good speed on the straight. So take some space now and then push. We need to do high-speed weaving. The start was 15.15 under.
13:01:29
So, good high-speed weaving now, Lance, and then a big lift and braking into 6-7. People are going very slow to make a gap out of 7. So, it's bunching now ahead. So, good job on the weaving. It's bunching. We need to make space and do the same down to turn 9.
13:01:55
So, again, good high-speed weaving. You can lean on the tyres in 9. A small lift into 9, but then you can lean on tyres, but do not slide too much.
13:02:17
You can push through 10-11 and then lift and good braking into 12. Brakes are good. Brakes are good. So stay on the racing line. Stay on the racing line. We're OK for 4 burnouts. So do 1 before 16 and then 3 afterwards. So 1 before 16 and 3 afterwards. And correction, your start was good. Your start target was good.
13:03:03
That's good. Three burnouts after turn 16.
13:03:12
And then once you're stationary it will be run, switch, race and a bite point find.
13:04:21
Yellow off.
13:04:53
OK, Lance, you're going to need some K-Zero.
13:05:10
K0, we're going to need to drop a strut.
13:05:21
Ocon ahead medium. Hulkenberg behind medium.
13:05:49
OK, Lance, good job on the K0. Keep it up.
13:06:12
Hulkenberg dropping back, he's got pressure from Sainz, so car behind will be Sainz soon.
13:06:26
Lift and coast is good. Car behind Sainz, hard.
13:06:36
OK, as much K0 as you can do before Sainz gets to you.
13:07:11
DRS enabled.
13:07:19
OK, Sainz missed it to you behind. He's 1.4. You have a talk on.
13:07:41
Sainz is 1.8 behind, so focus on Ocon for a little bit. I'll keep you posted.
13:08:23
We like the toggle in 6. Think about turn 9. Silence 1.4 behind.
13:08:51
Strat 11. Strat 11. Sights to 1.4 behind.
13:09:54
Lance, a little bit more management 2 and 3. Rest is very good.
13:10:22
How's the balance, love?
13:10:26
Copy that. Sights to 1.7.
13:10:46
So Sainz is managing a bit more in 3s, 1.8, so he's not pressing us at the moment.
13:11:53
Can you think about plus torque brake balance, Lance?
13:12:14
Lance Sainz 2.2. He's managing more in 3. So you've got some margin to do that as well.
13:13:23
OK, Lance, we definitely need a bit more management into 3. I don't know what's the odds.
13:14:55
OK, Lance, management is good relative to the other car. Sights 2.4.
13:16:27
Okay, Lance, how are the tyres? Are they balanced? Plan A or B for you? Plan A. They keep doing this. They're doing this for this management.
13:16:47
Consider medium tyres. Copy that.
13:18:16
OK Lance, that's good enough to keep the DRS up because that's good enough to keep doing what you can everywhere else. Sainz has dropped back at 2.9, you can't everywhere else. Sainz has dropped back at 2.9.
13:18:33
So happy to push for the DRS in 2-3, just enough, and then 9, saving 9.
13:19:27
So, Lance, we're plan A. Happy with what you're doing. Look after the tyres in 9.
13:20:57
OK, Lance, MFB orange, position 12. MFB orange, position 12.
13:21:19
Okay, the multi was for energy, Lance. Good job.
13:22:31
OK, rounds Fernando, SPT, Fernando, SPT.
13:22:35
We've got Riccardo Magnussen down the back of Pitted even earlier. Most people similar to us for now.
13:24:51
OK, Sainz is pushing on. He's 1.3 behind.
13:25:00
Start to do what you need for pace, lads.
13:25:32
OK, Lance, you've had one track limit for turn 1.
13:26:46
Gasly car ahead, medium.
13:27:32
Sight is still too bad.
13:28:57
Good job, mate. Car ahead. Perez 3.1. He's on medium tyres. HPP button on.
13:29:38
Perez has pitted. Car ahead, Tsunoda, medium. Let's push on, see what you can do.
13:29:48
Car behind Sainz, two and a half seconds.
13:30:07
OK, Lance, hard tyre is looking better than medium, so just keep doing what you're doing on this tyre.
13:31:09
So, Lance, both safety car windows are open. Both safety car windows are open.
13:31:37
Okay, Lance, you're P2 on the road. We are plan B. So let's use the car pace. Let's use the car pace. Tsunoda ahead, the leader on medium tyres. Sainz 3 behind has got Verstappen coming through now. So car behind Verstappen on hard tyres who has pitted two laps ago.
13:32:15
The car behind Verstappen, 2.3, car ahead Tsunoda, 5 seconds on medium.
13:32:41
OK, Lance Verstappen 2 behind. We're plan B but we're going longer if we can. Good job. Come on.
13:33:11
That last lap was okay, Lance. Keep doing what you can. Push.
13:33:30
So Verstappen 1.8 behind Sainz 2.5 behind him.
13:34:11
OK, Lance, keep pushing, keep pushing. We need maximum pace but don't lose time with the cars coming through. Verstappen is on newer tyres.
13:34:39
Okay, Lance, you were three tenths quicker than Sainz. Verstappen has DRS. Don't lose time with him and then just keep your pace. Sainz 3.6 behind Verstappen.
13:35:13
The car behind four seconds is Leclerc. He's on hard tyres. Three lap hold.
13:35:42
OK, left rear 3.3 behind.
13:36:17
That was quite okay.
13:37:04
Box, box, Lance. Box, box, box.
13:37:10
Snowdrift ahead. Box. Box.
13:37:16
Tyre green are in the pitlane. Tyre green are in the pitlane. And you're going to be racing Hulkenberg on pit exit. He's on 8 lap old hard tyres, racing Hulkenberg.
13:37:33
There's a good pit exit. Energy available. Racing Hulkenberg.
13:37:55
Gasly ahead. Hulkenberg 1.5. Gasly 5 lap hold hard. Hulkenberg 1.5 behind.
13:38:43
Ocon, 7 lap on hard, 3 seconds in front. Good job.
13:39:05
OK, Lance, it's a rear limitation. This is the stint where we need to make some moves to settle in. Two seconds ahead, Ocon.
13:39:32
So, we're good on K0, so you can stop. Sainz has pitted. He's on the same strategy as you. He's gone hard as well. So, Gasly's 1.5 behind. Car ahead, Bottas, 20 lap hold, 23 lap hold hard.
13:39:55
The track should be improving, so let's go and get these guys ahead. Bottas, old hard tyres. Let's go and have him.
13:41:22
Ocon, seven lap older, hard tyres, car in front.
13:42:31
Ahead of Ocon is Tsunoda on hard tyres similar age to you. Ahead of them Ricciardo and Hamilton older tyres. Has he got cars ahead we can get?
13:43:09
So car ahead, Ricciardo, 18 lap old Haan.
13:44:00
OK, Lance, Ricciardo ahead. Very old car tyres. You were the fastest car on track last lap. Keep it up.
13:47:22
It's a car ahead of Tsunoda. He pitted the same lap as you. He's on hard tyres. Hamilton 2.4 ahead of him. He's on 13 lap hold hard.
13:47:39
We need some K0 now, Lance.
13:48:32
Okay, Lance, Ricciardo does not have DRS. Let's settle down for a few laps. Let me know on balance. How is it? Yeah, it's okay. Copy that. So, Tsunoda three in front. He's got Hamilton two in front of him and Fernando three in front of Hamilton.
13:49:36
So, Ricciardo 1.8 behind, Tsunoda 3 in front.
13:50:04
So Sainz is still behind the Alpines. He's not quicker than you.
13:50:12
I'm stuck at the head.
13:51:05
Watch the overlap in corner 9, lads.
13:51:53
The car behind is Ocon, four seconds. You overtook him previously. Gaps ahead are stable.
13:53:02
OK, Lance, we've got a second track limit for turn 1, so take it easy. Next lap.
13:53:23
So, Lance, it was the previous lap? It was the previous lap? Verona just went by.
13:53:40
It was lap 32, you're on 33 now.
13:54:26
There's a car behind Norris. Four seconds. He's pitted. He's pitted hard tyres.
13:54:33
That's his second stop.
13:54:53
Lance, think about entry 8 and mid 4.
13:55:35
Okay, likely to have Russell two seconds behind on pit exit there.
13:56:01
Russell car behind with Norris behind him. So these cars are on fresher tyres. Medium's not looking good, so just don't lose time with them. Stay in your rhythm.
13:57:06
Don't lose time with Russell and Norris. Stay in your rhythm.
13:57:21
Car ahead, Leclerc, just exiting the pits.
13:57:39
Norris behind. He's on fresh tyres.
13:57:53
Ocon's four behind, so let these guys clear you and then focus on your rhythm. Tsunoda's going to have to let them by as well.
13:59:24
Ocon's 5 behind.
13:59:29
Let's try and use these guys to close up to Tsunoda when they pass him.
14:00:39
Lance, we're having to save a bit more in 15 to help last corner exit.
14:03:37
Car behind Piastri. Four seconds. Different strategy.
14:03:56
So, ahead of Norris is Tsunoda. Behind Piastri, Sainz. Similar strategy to you.
14:06:06
There's Piastri 1.3 behind us, 17 laps to go.
14:06:57
What's the strategy here? Use the tyres, Lance, use the tyres.
14:07:23
Box this lap, Lance. Box. Box. Medium tyres. Box this lap. OK.
14:07:33
Potentially racing Ricciardo when you come out. Gentle in 2-3 on the first lap.
14:07:43
Entry 6, mid 4. Entry 6, mid 4. Racing Ricciardo.
14:07:56
Fighting Ricciardo. Ten lap hold hard tyres. Fighting Ricciardo. Ten lap hold hard tyres. Do you have energy available?
14:08:25
He's got DRS.
14:08:47
So he's 1.2, he's 1.2. Think about your K0. Settle into this. Take it easy through 9 if you can. Albon ahead. Very old, hard tyres. Ricciardo does not have DRS.
14:09:26
Okay, 15 to go. All Sonata.
14:09:32
So you've got Ocon up the road. We've got to get him for the point.
14:09:44
0.4 sec.
14:09:53
We think he's trying to go to the end. I've got a pile of fire. Go see.
14:10:14
20 seconds because he hasn't pitted yet.
14:10:18
Next position for us is Ocon for the point. Nine in front.
14:10:25
Ocon's on 28 lap old hard trying to go to the end. Look after these tyres turn 9 entry and then we'll be okay.
14:11:21
Okay, Lance, you're two seconds quicker than Ocon, so it's important we look after this set of tyres in turn 9.
14:12:49
Good job in 9 and still 2 seconds quicker, so he's 6 seconds ahead of you. 12 to go, end of this lap.
14:13:51
OK, Lance, you can lift five metres earlier for turn 9. Rest is good.
14:14:18
1.8 seconds quicker. He's four and a half in front.
14:14:38
I'm going to think about entry 7.
14:15:46
1.5 quicker than Ocon. Ahead of him Sainz hasn't stopped so he's in P10. He's got old hard tyres.
14:17:15
There's Ocon one in front. Sainz does have to stop again, so it's Ocon for the point. He's 11th on the road now.
14:19:46
So, Lance, eight to go. Car in front, Sainz has to stop. He's three seconds.
14:22:03
So, reminder, Sainz has got to stop again. Seven seconds ahead of him is Hamilton in P9.
14:22:35
Oh, it's a no-go.
14:22:43
Tsunoda is P7. He's about 14 seconds up the road. He one-stopped, but he's dying, but he has one-stopped.
14:24:13
Five to go, five to go.
14:27:45
All right, folks, done.
14:28:02
He's hanging out for a safety car, Lance. It's going to be two to go when you cross the line.
14:28:45
2 to go. Ricciardo 1.6 behind. 2 to go. Ricciardo 1.6 behind.
14:29:09
To Ricciardo's on 10 lap older hard tyres.
14:30:10
Strat 10. Last lap. Strat is last lap. Early press on both straights. Early press out of 5.7.
14:30:37
Ricciardo does not have DRS. 1.2.
14:30:45
30 press out 7 available.
14:31:00
Ricciardo has DRS. Ease energy.
14:31:42
Carlos, let's check and flag, check and flag. I don't know what kind of strategy that was, but it seemed very self-optimal.
14:31:53
HPP button off. HPP button off. HPP button off. OK, that's P10, Lance, Fernando, P7.
14:32:20
MFB blue position 14. MFB blue position 14.
14:32:56
Okay, good job on the switches. You can take some pick up.
14:34:17
P0.
