Copy that, Baci. That's Hulkenberg ahead.
13:16:32
OK, Valtteri, you missed DRS by just one tenth from Hulkenberg.

13:35:15
It's now B11. Car 1.5 seconds behind is Ricciardo.
13:36:14

13:48:57
Mode race, mode race.
13:49:08
Ok, Valtteri, we'll need management the first lap, turn 2-3. After that, just turn 9 until we stabilise. After we stabilise, we can push.
13:49:27
Copy. Was there any braking?
13:49:31
Very, very minor. We need management at turn 9 from the beginning. Copy.
13:50:40
Car behind. Two seconds. Magnussen on 8th lap. Hold hard.
13:51:42
No saving turn 2-3, only turn 9.

And for a race info, we have powerbomb in our forward post now.
14:04:34
Further update, Magnussen now over three seconds behind. He has Zhou with him. Zhou converted to a two-stop. New medium.

OK, so, box, box.
