17:24:14
OK, we'll box this lap, please, Max.
17:24:28
How's the balance, Max?
17:24:31
Now it's better, just the last corner. I really don't know. I just don't have the grip in the car. OK, main limitation. I just can't carry the speed around the apex. The front either wants to wash out or it's just like ripping. Yeah, understood. Main limitation across the lap I'm in. You've got Russell at three seconds on a push lap.
17:24:55
I'm very close to just the limit of bouncing, I feel. OK, Hamilton at five seconds on a push.
17:25:08
Are you happy with the rotation now in low, medium speed apex? Hamilton coming through.
17:25:38
So, Box, Max, on the marks, be a live pitstop and switch up.
17:32:56
So, Bottas approaching turn 1, so let him through. He's alongside you and he's gone.
17:33:10
Go. Think about sector 1.
17:33:50
So, cars ahead. Fernando's just gone through turn 23. Sainz is approaching 22. And Lando's ahead of you. Maybe give up the margin to Lando now.
17:34:07
He has nobody ahead of him, so shouldn't back out too much.
17:34:12
That's still only 5 to Lando ahead.
17:36:20
OK, so you've got Alex.
17:36:24
He's backed out, he's in phase.
17:36:30
So let's have a double slow-max and we'll go again.
17:36:35
I just didn't feel any grip, to be honest. Understood. So double slow.
17:36:50
First corner push is Carlos. He's at turn 2.
17:36:56
How is the button at turn 27? Found the button alright. OK.
17:37:08
So, Carlos at four seconds.
17:39:21
OK, so we've got Carl's opening laps behind now. Bottas at 10 seconds.
17:40:06
Engine 8, position 7.
17:40:17
OK, so it's just Bottas ahead to complete his lap.
17:40:24
The gap behind is seven seconds.
17:42:18
OK, we will box this lap, Max. You can keep up the pace. Push all the way in, please.
17:42:44
So you have Hamilton, eight seconds.
17:43:01
Hamilton still at 5.
17:43:38
OK, Maxo Box on the mark to be a live pitstop and switch off.
17:52:41
Straight out, Max. No launch. Straight out, please. It'll be mode 6 and strat 11. Mode 6 and strat 11. So you have Checo approaching turn 1. He's alongside you. He's past you.
17:53:17
Okay, so Alonso first lap on medium at 34.6. Checo 34.9, 34.2, 34.4.
17:53:59
Let's have mode 9, please, Max. Mode 9.
17:54:12
So, gap behind four seconds for Sargeant. Use it and then press and hold the overtake on the exit of 27. Still 2.5 behind. Still two seconds behind. Good to go.
17:54:29
Lap 4. Checo 34.3.
17:55:27
Currently looking at 10 timed laps, Max.
17:57:06
The battery just didn't release out of 70. It's like a delay. Understood. Thank you.
17:57:18
Engine 11 and then fail 2-alpha when you can.
17:57:38
Okay, back to engine 8.
17:59:11
Just make sure you're not taking too much out of the tyres in turn 6 to 10, Max.
18:00:28
Alonso, average 34.6, first five laps.
18:01:23
I need a little bit less, like, migration. Sorry, a bit more aggressive migration. It's too forward again.
18:01:33
Okay, that would be B-Bal 2 when you count max B-Bal 2.
18:02:24
Alonso, 34.5 lap 6.
18:03:17
Okay, two options, Max. Catch and pass Hulkenberg and we could complete 11 laps or there is a gap behind of 13 to Tsunoda.
18:03:34
I'm back out of it, I'll take that. What do you think? Yeah, OK. Back out.
18:03:47
You may as well make it count. Still 10 seconds behind Tsunoda. Still 8 seconds behind.
18:04:04
OK, so that will be four more laps, Max. Four more laps.
18:04:19
OK, that's Russell ahead. He's just come out of the pits.
18:08:44
And mode 6. This is final lap, Max. Mode 6.
18:10:22
OK, that's chequered flag, Max. Back round to the group, please.
18:10:31
Strat 9, please. Strat 9 at mode 12.
18:11:57
Okay, so procedure max is two burnouts and left-hand side gear one. Two burnouts, left-hand side gear one.
18:15:06
Bulks max. Bulks. Light the pits up and switch up.
