Lewis Hamilton
15:15:38
Lewis, if you could increase lift at coasting to turn 4 by 15 metres. Just turn 4 over.
15:16:33
Stay within 10.
15:16:56
So radios poor out of turn 10.
15:17:08
Alonso should be without DRS this time.
15:19:48
It's going to be yellow up ahead at turn 4. It's going to be yellow up to turn 4.
15:20:12
So you are in safety car and VSC window. We have yellow turn 4. Looks like we might have to start moving again. That's cleared.
15:20:27
Can we have H53 position 5? 3 position 5.
15:20:46
So I've got Alonso about 0.8 of a second, Piastri 2.2 ahead.
15:21:26
That's when you can, if you can give us a balance check. Balance check.
15:21:50
Then put towards the oversteer side, where we will take out 1-0.
15:22:04
Copied that.
15:22:25
Pace looking good, Lewis. Piastri's a 38.4. You may see George has just stopped.
15:23:34
Box, box, box, box, box, box.
15:24:17
Veil all clear on exit.
15:24:27
Front warm-up may take a while.
15:25:10
Cross at D-Rex.
15:25:32
Let me know where I'm weak as well. I've got a lot of D-brakes.
15:25:43
Copy. We see that the rates, currently they are expected. We'll try and improve the situation.
15:26:07
I've got no battery. I'm at 1%.
15:27:22
Those main losses are just a straight line as we get up the pack.
15:27:41
How can I get the things to charge at the port? That's the best mode.
15:28:19
Let's look at HPP7, position 8. 7, position 8.
15:28:46
So it's 7, position 8. HPP 7, position 8.
15:28:56
We'll go HPP3, position 2. 3, position 2.
15:29:20
Alonso has just exited the pits. He's over five seconds behind.
15:29:56
We'll go strat mode 7 now. Where am I losing? I'm very slow.
15:30:09
It's turns 6, 7 and 12, but we're happy with the management. The straight line should be coming back.
15:30:55
View at my sectors and let me know where I am to down the line. Yeah, so Piastri's at 36.5.
15:31:06
To Piastri, it's all straight line.
15:31:36
Sargeant, car ahead, there is traffic.
15:33:00
And last lap, biggest loss, braking, 9.10, Piastri.
15:33:51
So, Piastri, a 37.1, gap at 3.6.
15:34:10
Only lost to Piastri. Turn 12 management.
15:35:29
Piastri was a 36.6.
15:35:47
I am at 6, 7 and 12. 6, 7 and 12, but that is the management.
15:37:03
Gap to Piastri at 3.3. Last lap was 36.6.
15:37:25
And that's 6, 7 and 12 look better that time.
15:38:25
Looks like we have HPP5, position 7. 5, position 7.
15:38:39
Gap to Piastri at 3.2. Last lap 36.7.
15:39:00
Okay, copy. Just maintain this level of lift at coast.
15:39:40
How's this pace?
15:40:02
So, George is doing 36.7, got Perez and Sainz there, 36.1.
15:40:16
Gap to Piastri at 3.2. Last lap 36.5.
15:41:53
Gap to Piastri at 3.3. Last lap was a 36.7.
15:42:13
Lewis, if you could update your tyre switch.
15:43:29
Gap is 3.1. Last lap was a 36.9.
15:43:51
Okay, copy.
15:45:07
Piastri at 3.0. Last lap at 37.0.
15:46:43
Can we have HVP 10, position 8. 10, position 8.
15:47:03
Gaps Piastri at 2.7. Last lap he was 36.9. Think about magic for turn 8. Looks good 9.10.
15:48:07
I've been through this lap. How's my pace been? I don't seem to catch much.
15:48:20
We were gaining Lewis, just dropped a little bit this lap.
15:49:43
Lewis, can we have HPP3, position 3? 3, position 3.
15:50:02
Piastri was a 36.9.
15:51:35
Gap to Piastri now down to 2.5. Last lap was a 37.2 for him.
15:53:11
Let me know if the pace is illegal and I can't go any much faster.
15:53:31
So that gap to Piastri is still 2.6. It's a 37.2 Piastri.
15:54:48
Gap to Piastri at 2.1.
15:54:53
Last lap was a 37.6 for him. I think that was a lock-up. Ah, that's still good!
15:55:09
Copy that Lewis. Prioritise lift and coast turn 4. That will be needed when we get a bit closer.
15:56:29
So Piastri was a 37.1.
15:56:44
This won't be long. Give us a balance adjust.
15:56:49
Lance is pretty good. He was a bit understeery before. He's pretty good now.
15:57:23
OK, so it won't be long, so close up if you can. I'll be trying, mate. OK, ciao.
15:57:48
The tyres are still alive.
15:57:52
OK, copy. So box opposite Piastri. Box opposite Piastri.
15:58:02
So, box, box.
15:58:19
And outlap at critical. Outlap critical. We're going to have target lap time 35.0.
15:58:29
I just have traffic with a Tsunoda. Traffic Tsunoda.
15:58:46
My racing's a no-go.
15:58:57
So, Piastri, one second outside our window.
15:59:04
Tsunoda yet to stop.
15:59:27
It will be tight with Piastri.
15:59:45
Now we'll go to strat mode 5. Piastri in the pitlane now.
16:00:00
Overtake is available. Slow stop for Piastri.
16:00:32
Nice work, Lewis. Piastri 1.9 behind.
16:00:46
Just bring the tyres in nice and easy. Strat mode 6.
16:01:01
So Piastri 3.1 behind.
16:01:36
So you did a good job in the last set, Lewis. Let's just look after this one as well.
16:01:56
Just make sure you're happy with diff entry.
16:02:59
Sergio Piastri, 3.7 behind.
16:03:10
Alonso yet to stop. Norris 5.3 ahead. Norris was a 35.7.
16:04:46
Strat mode 7. Norris was at A35.1. Piastri 34.7.
16:05:47
Alonso yet to stop. He was 36.8, 22 lap hard tyre.
16:06:42
Saint-Norris, Luce 35.1, Piastri 35.3.
16:07:57
So Norris 5.1 ahead. Last lap was 34.9.
16:08:17
Biggest loss to Norris. Braking at turn 9.10.
16:08:56
These guys are fast, man.
16:09:18
Copy Lewis, pace is very tight. Norris did hit his tyres pretty hard early on, so maybe he'll pay for it later.
16:09:35
Norris with a 35.3.
16:09:54
35.0 for Piastri.
16:11:05
Lewis, can we have HPP default? HPP default 1-7. HPP default 17.
16:11:28
Norris was a 35.1 and just moved the HVB switch out of the default.
16:12:28
Lewis coming up. HPP 7, position 4. 7, position 4.
16:12:43
Gap to Norris down to 4.6. Last lap was a 36.2.
16:12:50
Sorry, 35.2.
16:13:03
Piastri a 35.3. He's a 3.8 behind.
16:14:18
Let me know if I need to pull back to the last corner. Nope, good game there. Keep on that.
16:14:38
Gap, 4.4, 35.3, Norris.
16:15:39
That was my face.
16:15:53
Pace is looking good, Lewis. Just turned one last time. We'll be very close with Norris. End of race.
16:16:14
Norris set 35.3.
16:16:52
I need to bring the braking back to turn 10. Standby.
16:17:14
GPS looks OK, but I'll have a bit more of a look.
16:17:30
Gap at 3.9 to Norris. He was at 35.3.
16:19:05
Gap now to 3.8. Norris is a 35.4.
16:19:21
Now if anything, just focus on exit turn 13.
16:20:36
And that was better turn 13. Gap now at 3.6. Norris was a 35.5.
16:20:44
And main loss brake at turn 1.
16:22:16
And Norris was at 35.7.
16:23:14
That's it, good job, good job.
16:23:54
And Norris was at 35.7.
16:24:10
Just keep on the lifted coast for turn 4 and holding 6 through turn 6.
16:24:50
Damn, he laps up to me.
16:25:00
And I'll be 7th when you cross the line.
16:25:24
So, gap 4.2 ahead and 4.1 behind.
16:25:30
Norris at 35.7.
16:25:44
Piastri was at 37.0. Now it's at 36.0.
16:26:23
Are you OK?
16:26:27
Yeah, pace is okay. Last couple of laps. Looks like front tips are dropping.
16:27:02
Norris was 36.0.
16:27:22
That was a strong last lap, Lewis.
16:28:57
And that was 35.9 for Norris.
16:29:36
No, catch him at 9.
16:29:56
There's every chance Lewis and Norris may interact with George very soon.
16:30:12
So, three seconds to Norris.
16:30:16
Last lap, he was at 35.8.
16:31:47
OK, so three laps remaining. Go strat 5 for the end.
16:32:07
And as we continue, lift and coast at turn 4 and 6 through 6-7.
16:33:09
I've passed the next guy.
16:33:24
That gap's down to 2.5 now. Norris is a 36.2.
16:33:45
Just another reminder on that turn 4 lift at coast.
16:35:00
There will be one more lap. Gap down to 2.2.
16:35:21
I have 2 car lengths.
16:36:40
Well done, Lewis. That's P7. It was a difficult day in the office, but really strong race pace at the end. Really Norris in. Just needed another couple of laps.
16:36:59
And if we have HVP1, position 12. HVP1, position 12, and then strat 12. And if you just pick up rubber.
16:37:12
Correction, we'll go strat 14. Just remember to pick up rubber.
16:37:24
So, final order, it was Verstappen, Perez, Sainz, Leclerc P4, George P5, you've got Norris ahead of you, and then P7 for yourselves.
