Radio check.

The wind has obviously changed direction a lot from yesterday, so just let me know if that changes through the race back to Friday or Saturday, or Thursday or Friday.

Can you repeat? I didn't hear you very well. All the cars are on soft. All the cars around you are on new soft. OK.

And Daniel, remember we need to do a bite point when we drop the car? Okay, with the procedure, you remember?

Yep, it's the right back button. Is that correct? Confirmed, with brake and then engage first gear.

Yep, clear.

Reminder on your front tyres in the formation lap. Just look after them. We don't do any lock-up.

I want to see good work on those tyres in the formation lap. High speed weaving.

Understood.

OK, no more than 10 car lengths to the car heads. Good work on those tyres and brakes. And you were on target. Good job.

You can look at the dash for the tyres. Front will be on the low side. Offset minus two. You can do it now.

Four tyre warming confirmed. First gear, click overtake.

And after lap 1, I will remind you for mode 6 and back to offset minus one.

Mode 3. Good job.

OK, last current position.

Mode 6. If there is no threat, straighten to the rhythm with liftoff.

DRS enabled.

Slippery track, turn 4.

Offset minus one and we need the lift off. Offset minus one.

Entry 8.

Daniel, if you can, we need one step more lift-off. If you can, one step more lift-off, please.

Understeer.

You can use push to hold on 10.

Let's stay very low gear to the bank. That's it in the air.

Reminder, we need the lift off turn 1. Push to go turn 1, turn 10 and turn 9.

Reminder for entry line.

OK, Sargeant, 1.1. Let's try to stay in the DRS.

Push to goal, turn 1, turn 4 and turn 10.

Engine 11, position 7.

OK, this amount of lift-off is good. It's a very tight pack. Only lost is apex turn 8, one tenth.

Okay, tyres are stabilised. How is your balance now?

Yeah, part of Pax is really easy to oversleep. So yeah, it's struggling, setting up out in all parts. Copy that. So still very tight pack on Menlo's last lap was braking turn 10. The rest is the same.

So let's try to stay in the DRS please and we'll keep having a look to help you.

Last lap was minimum speed turn 13 on entry turn 8.

And consider to cancel push toggle turn 1. Stability looks better now. We're starting to have a bit more understeer.

Understeer. Just very light grip.

I literally can't brake with any pressure. I lose the front. Loud and clear.

And we are in ballpark with the brakes, so stay with this amount of lift-off, please, in heavy traffic.

So, yeah, I'm struggling with the throttle still, but the rear's a bit lower.

Daniel Sargeant ahead has been told to open the gap. They have a critical cooling issue. Heads up.

And compared to Yuki, he's a bit more progressive going up to the peak pressure in turn 10. So he's reaching peak pressure a bit more progressively.

On what is the situation with space? You are not in traffic?

Honestly, I don't think we can do much more. Copy.

OK, we have a yellow turn 4. I'll keep you posted. Yep, see if I can go better and clearer.

Concentral Park to entry 8.

OK, let's try to use this free air and get into the rhythm. Last lap, it was only turn 13. Yuki is managing a bit more in turn 12. I'm gaining one man's speed.

Yuki, last lap was 38.9. Your last time was 38.9. Your last time was 38.8.

Magnussen is 3 ahead and is doing 38.8.

We're taking plan B. Confirmed. Confirmed.

Yep, I agree. This is not a pretty subcar on this tyre. Load and clear.

Turn confirm. Grip is low at both axles but no rear limiter. Copy that.

But I won't go crazy on the other tyre.

Let's make a downforce exit here, yeah?

Box, box. We are on plan B.

Box, box, we are on plan B.

Yep, box.

Reset switches. Hold the brakes. Close to Ocon pit exit. You can press and hold overtake.

Hulkenberg 1.5 behind. Hulkenberg is on hard. He pitted on lap 2.

Stroll, first push on hard was a 36.5.

OK, Daniel, head down. Now we focus on pace, clean laps. You can reduce lift of one step. And we know where our race will be.

I'm really struggling with braking with the front.

Okay, you can consider shape 2. We can try shape 2.

So this lap was 4 to 5 tenths faster compared to the cars around you.

Understood. TV posted.

Okay, we are quickly catching the group ahead. Albon 2.3 ahead. We are faster than them.

OK, ahead of you is Ocon. Albon just went past. Let's try to clear him as quick as we can. He's slow.

And you know how to use your battery. Make it count. Ocon 1.4.

Continental mode 7. If you want to bring up the pack, be prepared for attacking.

So currently gaining 2 to 3 tenths compared to the group of Yuki.

Hulkenberg is 3.5 behind, so we focus on the front.

On 1-3 cast traffic, a little bit of lift off and make it count.

That's it.

Ocon, no DRS. Albon went by in turn 4.

And the only difference to Yuki is managing slightly more in turn 12 and gaining half a tenth at turn 13.

OK, hit done. All OK with the car. Let's get to him.

We can start using push to go to turn 4 if you need again.

It's really hard on the front, the traffic. That's the main limitation. OK, you have switches.

You can go back to N37 in traffic if you need to.

What's the pace of the group ahead? 37.5.

Albon directly ahead is 37.7.

On infrared we are happy to reduce liftoff. I'll keep you posted on the pace.

So the dig on the hard for others looks a little bit higher, so we're on plan B. Currently on plan B. I'll keep you posted.

So it's a trainer ahead of you with Zhou in P10 and Zhou is doing 37.9.

What did you just say? Zhou is in pit 10.

Consider back to entry 8 in Friere and push to go to turn 4.

Mode 6. Only lost last lap was turn 6-7. We are pushing more in turn 6 and losing through turn 7. Consider one step down in turn 6 to gain an exit.

On last lap we gained three tenths on Albon. Albon 2.28.

What time is Zhou and Yuki doing? 37.85.

On reminder, we still have a weapon for end of race. You can reduce lift-off. It will be also OK for tyres.

Sorry, did you say less lift-off? You can reduce lift-off, confirmed. You can do less lift-off.

Albon is now fighting with Magnussen ahead of you. 2.2 ahead still.

Reminder, push to go to turn 4. Update on tyres when you can.

Ok. Simple uphilling. Bit more apex.

I lose quite a lot.

I don't feel I can push on the front. Braking or high speed. Steering gets very light. Copy.

You're probably safe on this one. Follow me back more. Copy. We have an idea for the next one. We have an idea.

And when you're catching traffic, reminder to increase lift off one step and you can put more front end with your switches if you need.

On Yuki, 37.9.

Same lap time as you.

Standby on turn 12. Cars ahead are doing one step less lift-off. We are losing one tenth an hour of turn 12. Last couple of laps.

OK. And yeah, the front two hit that lap. Definitely more front deck.

Consider AB8.

OK, Daniel, the EB looks like it's quite powerful. Keep us posted on balance. We lost one tenth compared to the cars ahead this lap.

Yeah, I think I made it. Just enough.

And compared to Yuki, it was only in turn 12, one tenth we lost. But understand, you need it for tyres.

Ok Daniel, so currently only Stroll has pitted again. He's gone for another hard. I'll keep you posted.

Yep, yeah, that's Charles survive. Stay out.

Ok, Daniel, just to have your view, at the moment we are thinking plus half a step iso-compound or plus one for a change of compound. Understood.

Copy, plus one. Copy, plus one, iso compounds. Copy.

Yep, yeah, half a step is definitely not enough.

On Yuki and Friere, last lap was 37.8. Your last lap 37.95.

And in front of Albon is Magnussen.

And consider back to N37. We have a bit more understeer again.

And if you need rotation in specific corner, you can use your pull toggle.

Understeer.

Last lap, two tenths braking turn 11. Main loss.

Medium three. Diff medium three. Open.

And Yuki in Friere is doing 37.5, but copy traffic.

Yeah, this gap just doesn't help the front axle. Understood.

I think as the track keeps going, probably we'll have to go more front way. Copy that.

EB7 available at QNH.

On the last lap compared to Yuki, main difference was braking turn 10. Two tenths.

OK, Daniel, Yuki has pitted, but we are on a different plan now. OK?

Understeer.

Box, box, box, box.

Understood. Close but ahead of Ocon.

Till later.

Entry 8, EB8.

Close but ahead of Ocon. Pit exit.

Click overtake available. Let's bring them in nicely and cut these cars ahead.

Everyone else on hot.

Yuki is 9 ahead and he will have blue flags for Max. Albon is boxing. Close to Albon pit exit.

Albon is going too hard. Close to Albon pit exit. Overtake available.

OK, press and hold.

I'll come back to you on switches.

You can use your switches, entry line available if you need stability.

Push to go level about turn 10. Yuki is doing...

High 35.

Strat 3 for performance. Current in Strat 2. Strat 3.

Reminder, toggle turn 10 and we can do slightly more management turn 12 for now. I'll keep you posted.

That's it.

OK, NB, come back to 5 ahead. OK, one second slower on U-turn hard.

Albon is 2.5 behind. Yuki is 6 seconds ahead. LTP posted on him and a couple of laps.

Turn 12. This lap was good for tyres. We keep the same going forward.

Out of steer.

Consider entry line for stability in Freer.

I'm going to leave it for now. Just worried that the fronts go away again, so I prefer it like this.

OK, that was 7 tenths faster than Yuki's this lap. Hulkenberg 2.5 ahead.

Battery is high. No need for anti-deploy.

OK, ahead of you now is Yuki. 4.8 ahead. We gain another 7 tenths this lap.

OK, Daniel, we are in a good place. People on hard are struggling a bit more than us, so let's just focus on clean laps. We will get there.

Strat 4 for performance. Strat 4.

Yuki 4.3, Magnussen 6.5.

Only loss currently is minimum speed turn 8. Yuki is braking a bit earlier in turn 8.

On the zoom, P10 is 8 ahead. He is the target.

Red flag 50.

36.8. One second slower.

Yuki, it's 3-0 ahead.

Let's keep up the good laps. You're doing a very good job.

Yuki 2.5, Zhou P10 6 ahead.

Is this lift-off still okay?

Stand by, I keep you posted. That's two seconds to Yuki. Head down.

Confirmed, on the liftoff we are happy with where you are. It's still okay and we still need it for tyres.

I'll keep you posted Daniel.

Let's get into the DRS to start. You can use your switches where you need.

Lance Stroll is only 4.8s and he's struggling with tyres.

On left go one click forward on the offset, please.

Whatever advantage I have, lose it. Let's try something.

We will do a driver swap this lap. Consider A-B-9.

And let's try to maximise it and get those points. Those three ahead.

So we do driver swap this lap, we get Magnussen, and then on to Zhou for P10.

OK, we've passed the message, Daniel. Waiting for more instructions. We have a flash in blue for Max. I'll keep you posted on Max.

Six more laps after this one.

Yeah, I don't need to say anything.

Reverse to the whole lap. Copy that. Waiting for instructions. I understand.

Ok, let's get on to Magnussen. I'll keep you posted on blue flag.

Let me know what to do with Max. Where is the best place to let him go? We have a blue flag for Max. It will be an end of straight small lift-off. And then we follow him through. Follow Max through to get to the speed end.

Battery is in a good place.

Okay, blue flag for Max. Be clever, not lose too much time. And then follow him slow, please.

Ok Daniel, I'll leave it to you now. I'll leave it to you. We'll try to follow Magnussen and Zhou for P10.

No need for anti-deploy. Batteries full.

Consider E-B9 one step less E-B9. Let's get Magnussen.

You can reduce lift-off if that helps, you can reduce lift-off.

That's one more lap after this one. One more lap.

Happy to go back offset minus two if you need efficiency.

One more lap.

Charge on. Fail 84.

Fail. 84.0. Fail.

OK, Daniel, hard luck in turn 1. I think it was difficult for most people out there to start with. What the fuck?

I'll save it. It's a fucking helmet. Sorry, go on. No worries, that's okay.

Last two stints. First two stints, yeah, it was tricky for everyone out there. And, yeah, we were traffic affected.

So we'll have a good look at the car in traffic to try to see what we can do better for the next time.

Yeah, understood. I've got some good, let's say, reference points to describe the feeling that I was getting, particularly in traffic. But yeah, understood. I think the rest, I know you're aware, but yeah, we'll debrief. Yeah, it's not unclear. No need to go through that.

OK, understood. Stop at the scales. Thanks anyways. Yeah, thank you. Last one, we fly back again.

And when you stop the car at the bridge, that's going to be P1. Then wait for the dash message and P0 please.
