15:03:39
OK, Kev, low DRS for the start.
15:03:52
First car is off the grid.
15:04:30
Find a push. Find a push.
15:05:00
If you are P12, P12, just think about your tyre management. Track is clear at turn 1.
15:05:40
Car ahead is Albon. Car ahead of him is Tsunoda. Zhou, behind you, DRS is enabled.
15:05:51
Zhou is 0.4 behind at the moment.
15:06:02
So, Zhou with DRS, you have DRS.
15:06:45
Zhou, 0.5 behind DRS.
15:07:21
Zhou 0.4 behind DRS.
15:07:42
Drone is still 0.4 with DRS.
15:08:59
Zhou, point 5. Albon reporting drivability issues with tyre taps.
15:10:37
Turn point 6.
15:10:59
Safety car window is open. Safety car window is open. Doing a great job at the moment, Kev. Tyres in good shape.
15:12:15
We have lost DRS, 0.7 behind.
15:13:18
Go 0.7, Albon still 0.6, he seems to have recovered a little bit.
15:13:40
He says I'm not able to drop back from the current front because he's got engine high temperature.
15:13:56
Turn 4 and 7 behind.
15:14:32
Albon, push me out.
15:14:44
The new guidelines say you have to be with your front wheels at his mirrors and I was.
15:15:21
Just outside of the DRS window at the moment. Zhou put 6 behind.
15:15:33
Confirming no DRS for you, Zhou, with DRS 0.5 behind.
15:16:35
OK, go. I know it's a shit position to be in after what happened, but just chip away at the lead ahead, gradually work your way ahead of Zhou. You're doing a fantastic job, don't thank you.
15:17:00
I have a tear-off stuck on the right side part.
15:17:19
Er, no, it's the tape! Copy that.
15:17:55
My brakes feel weird.
15:18:13
I've got a bit of a temperature split across the axles, both front and rear. That's probably what it is.
15:18:53
Zhou has boxed. Zhou has boxed.
15:19:40
The tyres are pretty good. Yeah, keep going, keep going.
15:20:09
We have a yellow flag for a Williamson stop to turn 4.
15:20:14
OK, that's how it's done.
15:20:55
What's the pace of Albon? Last lap, Albon, you're at 8.95. You're about two tenths quicker.
15:22:12
Could be close to Stroll on exit.
15:22:41
Close with Stroll. Stroll's going to be right alongside you. Stroll ahead of you. Zhou ahead of him.
15:22:56
Stroll has orally pitted. Mount push, please. Mount push.
15:23:58
Feels like we lost out a little bit here.
15:24:13
Mainly because of the Albon situation. Just got to keep at it. There's a long way to go. You're doing a great job.
15:24:51
Albon is close to the pitstop window. Albon close to our pitstop window.
15:25:32
Apparently when Ricciardo stops, he will come out behind us. If Ricciardo is boxing, he will be behind us.
15:27:11
Tsunoda boxing and will be very close to you at pit exit.
15:27:27
Fuck, the tyres are terrible, sorry, the brakes are terrible.
15:27:48
Copy that, Kev. We see that the rear temperatures have come together, the front temperatures have come together, but the rears are still out of alignment.
15:30:46
OK, PIR, P13, P13, just for reference.
15:31:04
I have understeer one tyre, it's too much deck.
15:31:36
I'm fighting to cast it up way faster than... Copy that.
15:31:42
Let's get past them. You're doing a great job. Fantastic job, Kev.
15:32:04
Albon two seconds behind on the pressure tyres.
15:32:18
Albon's tyres are one lap old. Yours are five laps old.
15:34:00
Albon still 1.8 seconds behind. Stroll in danger of losing Tsunoda DRS.
15:34:20
The problem is that Snowdrift isn't really going fast enough.
15:34:58
Understeer 2 seconds behind. Stroll 0.9 on Tsunoda.
15:35:34
OK, Stroll does not have DRS, but nor do you.
15:36:23
Suggest F2 to help stability into turn 10.
15:36:58
OK, so it's overdoing 37.4, strong in 35. So your last lap 37.8. Albon behind also 37.8.
15:38:35
So if Albon gets in close to having DRS from you, if you can push to close the gap to Stroll, it'll make a big difference.
15:38:54
Currently Albon 4.2 seconds behind.
15:40:17
Albon still 1.2 seconds behind. It's 6.7 where he gains the most.
15:40:31
Output 1.1, no DRS.
15:41:54
OK, compared to Nico, you're braking a little early for 10 and then carrying more speed through the apex, so you're running wide on exit, just to let you know.
15:42:07
So, Albon has DRS 0.8 behind.
15:42:31
Your tyres have done 12 laps now.
15:43:08
Albon point 7 departing with DRS.
15:43:47
Alpha, report out to DRS.
15:45:48
Safety car window is open.
15:47:02
Alpha 0.8. Good, Max. Good job there, Kev. Keep it up.
15:48:41
Kevin, out 1.9 behind the DRS. You're doing a fantastic job. You can burn as long as you can. You are now in 12, because Stroll has boxed.
15:50:19
Albon point 9 with DRS. If we can brake it, then he'll drop back. We're in great shape. Stay ahead of him.
15:51:42
I'll broadcast for you temperatures, that's why I was unable to close the gap to you.
15:55:32
Mode T4, Pierre. Mode T4.
15:56:11
OK, we're planning no change to aerobalance at the next pitstop. Copy.
15:56:41
Box, Kev, Box, please confirm.
15:56:50
Box, box.
15:56:58
Low DRS for the start. No direct threats as you leave the pit exit.
15:57:37
OK, there's 24 laps to go, including the one we're on.
15:58:25
If you could reset the bounce adjuster, that'd be great.
15:58:51
Albon, last lap, 13.83. We've got Verstappen 4.3 seconds behind us.
16:00:11
Tsunoda is boxing. He'll be about one second in front of you at the pit exit.
16:02:24
Awesome, Kev. Let's go.
16:02:58
Reset balance adjust. Resets. Reset balance adjuster.
16:03:39
Tsunoda 0.9 with DRS.
16:04:37
I don't need this dirty FM, Nico.
16:05:13
You will not have a fight from Nico.
16:05:21
Is Tsunoda DRS? Thank you, Tim.
16:05:59
Logan Sargeant, he's a lap down effectively on you. Next car you're racing is Zhou. He's seven seconds ahead.
16:06:16
You are P12. You are P12.
16:06:36
Press the oil pump button. Please press the oil pump button. There are 19 laps to go.
16:07:11
Gap to Stroll in P10 is 10 seconds.
16:07:47
Stroll, last lap 36.4. Zhou, 36.9.
16:09:24
Gap to Joe, 5.6.
16:10:21
Gap to Joe, 5.2. Gap to Stroll MP10, 9.2.
16:11:57
That's Alonso, who's just pitted in front of you. He should be quick, obviously.
16:12:34
Suggest clock 3 for understeer at turn 14. Just be aware Tsunoda 2.2 seconds behind. He's doing 36.2.
16:13:36
Do you have any place in Hampton Kirk? No.
16:14:52
Gap to Stroll 8.9. 14 laps to go.
16:16:28
Joe, 2.8 seconds ahead. Tsunoda, 1.7 seconds behind.
16:18:04
Zhou 2.4, Tsunoda 1.4.
16:19:00
Suggest half a click, one click rearwards on brake balance to help reduce front booking.
16:19:40
Zhou, 2.1 seconds. Tsunoda behind at 1.1 seconds.
16:21:15
No DRS for Tsunoda 1.1. Nine laps to go.
16:22:12
Tsunoda has DRS one second behind.
16:22:56
Cargo is 1.2 behind Tsunoda.
16:23:50
There's another point 7 with DRS.
16:24:29
Selena 0.7 DRS.
16:25:52
Tsunoda is going to let Ricciardo through. Ricciardo is on 14 laps soft.
16:27:04
Tsunoda is arguing on the radio, so 0.6 behind Tsunoda, DRS.
16:27:43
Suburban point 6 with DRS. Verstappen is closing on Ricciardo. They're going to have to get blue flags soon.
16:28:05
Five more laps, including this one.
16:28:41
Ricciardo one second behind with DRS.
16:29:22
This is Verstappen. He'll have to get a big flat grip. Obviously Ricciardo will try and come past with Verstappen.
16:29:29
Not a blue flag yet. Not a blue flag yet.
16:29:55
Verstappen, Ricciardo one second behind him.
16:30:19
Blue flag for Verstappen. Ricciardo 1.3 seconds behind him.
16:30:59
Cargo point 9 with DRS. You have DRS.
16:31:04
Toggle for understeer at turn 6.
16:32:23
4.3 seconds in front, Ricciardo 0.7 behind.
16:32:57
Lando, point to P5 with DRS.
16:33:34
No, don't quit. Alright.
16:34:33
I don't want to die.
16:35:11
Brado 0.5
16:35:50
Carburetor point six.
16:35:54
Fantastic, Kevin. Awesome. We're back racing. Well done, mate. Superb job.
16:36:05
Yeah, sub-0 effort, guys.
16:36:09
Yeah, almost there. Almost there. Good job.
16:36:21
Lots of work to do, but already a good job. It's only the first race. Let's keep focused. Same direction forward.
16:36:52
For reference, Verstappen won the race. He was 22 seconds ahead of Perez.
16:37:00
Perez, Sainz was 2.7 seconds behind Perez, Leclerc in P4, Russell P5, Norris P6, Hamilton P7, Piastri P8, Alonso P9, Stroll was P10, and he was only 12.5 seconds in front of you.
16:37:28
Yeah.
16:37:32
I think coming out and fighting straight away was a shame, but I'm still happy with the start.
16:38:02
Pause P1 and then a long pause before P0 please. Thank you, mate.
