17:10:47
Yes, leather clear. Yeah, likewise.
17:11:15
So, Piastri lead car at turn 13.
17:11:41
So you know the drill for the outlap.
17:12:06
So Piastri, just about to go through 27.
17:12:19
Still need to sink eighth gear.
17:12:41
So there's four cars to go, four cars still to go. Make sure we've got the gap. There's no threats from Piastri, no threats behind.
17:12:52
Might not be the handbrake to open the lap. Three cars still to go.
17:13:14
Handbrake to open the lap. Recharge off when you're ready.
17:15:00
Recharge on and cool the tyres. Cancel handbrake.
17:15:06
Sorry, Fernando...
17:15:10
Just competed at that behind. The bouncing was horrendous through 10 and 11.
17:15:25
And the medium speed, the front was not switching on.
17:15:33
So you're in phase with all cars behind. Would you like a flap adjust?
17:15:47
Yeah, let's go up two clicks. Up two clicks, copy. But that's what we just did, no?
17:15:58
Yeah, it's very different conditions from F3.1.
17:16:13
Did you see the amount of bouncing?
17:16:26
Yeah, I can see it. All very clear.
17:16:47
Okay, so we'll box and go up two clicks. Up two clicks.
17:16:58
Strat 12 in the pitlane.
17:17:11
Strat 12 in the pitlane.
17:17:16
First lap's your P1 max. Couple of hundredths slower. Main losses are in sector 1 with three attempts to stroll in sector 1, purple sector 2, and there we go, about sector 3. Strat 8.
17:17:47
So we've got Leclerc opening a lap at 8 seconds.
17:17:59
Leclerc now five and a half.
17:18:21
Next car pushing, Sargeant at 8 seconds.
17:18:54
OK, Gasly at four seconds.
17:19:10
We've got signs at five seconds. I can follow Gasly so your tyres are switched on. Handbrake to open the lap. Recharge off. Signs at three seconds.
17:21:06
V-Charge on. If you are happy, let's box at the end of this lap. Come with the programme.
17:21:14
Yeah, I got gas again, out of 2.
17:21:19
Yeah, yeah, I saw that traffic.
17:21:25
13, it was very sharp on the way in.
17:21:41
Fernando, currently P1, 29.8, you're four hundredths off him. And then Max, one hundredth behind you.
17:21:52
They say traffic in sector 1, that's our main deficit, three temps. Also two temps to Fernando in sector 2 and then purple sector 3.
17:22:29
OK, Checo, so box, there'll be a practice pit stop and switch off.
17:34:31
Fernando's at four seconds.
17:34:37
3, 2, 1. Next car, Sainz, 8 seconds.
17:34:46
So nice and positive.
17:34:52
OK, scientists backed out. First car pushing, Norris, 12 seconds.
17:35:15
Norris still 10 seconds back.
17:35:33
9 seconds, shouldn't be an issue.
17:35:40
So, track is clear. Handbrake to open another lap. Recharge off when you're ready.
17:37:31
Recharge on. Box at the end of this lap. Go with the programme. Keep up the pace. Daniel might be pushing. Four seconds.
17:37:51
Downhill at two seconds.
17:38:17
OK, we've got a 28.8 for Fernando, 29.1 for Leclerc, then yourself, 29.3.
17:38:53
Okay, so box, there'll be a practice pit stop and switch off.
17:46:47
Hamilton is 3.5.
17:46:52
Yeah, that helped me now. That's how things are on our side.
17:47:06
And it's Hamilton at 1.3.
17:47:10
And when you can, mode 6.
17:47:49
Press and hold. Overtake. Press and hold.
17:48:41
Looking at maybe 15 time laps here.
17:49:21
So you're the first car out there at high fuel.
17:51:35
So the other rep centre front is just coming out.
17:52:48
It's looking good in the high speed.
17:53:49
Fernando's first lap, 34.6.
17:56:33
Yeah, I'm going to have to do it some day, Pierre.
17:56:42
Hulkenberg doing 35.4.
17:57:12
You can see you're using the handbrake quite a bit more so the previous lap. You can replicate that with B-Bal too.
17:57:29
I'm attempting to do the rear on traction, at low speed.
17:57:47
So I would recommend B-Bal 3 then. B-Bal 3. Gives the rear a bit of an easier time and handbrake only where you need it.
17:58:10
Shall we overtake Nico or go back? We've got six seconds to max behind, so don't want to drop back too much there.
17:58:22
There's a five second gap in front of Hulkenberg.
17:58:28
Sorry, catching and passing would be interesting.
17:58:48
Hulk's last lap, 35.3.
17:59:02
Strat 3. Strat 3.
18:00:39
Overtake is available.
18:02:41
OK, so we're back in. Max doing 33.9, 34.2.
18:05:05
So Hamilton going slow ahead. Hamilton at three seconds going slow. We'll go mode 10 as well, mode 10.
18:07:37
So an update, we've got Leclerc on the soft doing mid-34s.
18:07:46
Max's last lap 34.0.
18:08:18
So, two more laps after this. We'll go mode 6 and strat 7. Mode 6, strat 7.
18:08:36
Try reducing the management through the high speed. Reduce your management.
18:10:09
OK, so last lap.
18:10:55
When you can, fail 10. Fail 1-0. Fail. When you can.
18:11:45
OK, so checkered flag. Strat 8, Strat 8, mode 12 and we'll drop some tyre temp.
18:12:13
Where did people end up?
18:12:17
Yeah, so Max in the high 33s. Medium 34.1 in his last representative lap. He was generally mid 34s. A bit scrappy for the Mercs.
18:12:32
They only got four push laps each, but yeah, 34.3. Yeah, I had the Ferrari at the end.
18:12:48
Use first gear when you can. Use first gear when you can.
18:13:06
So that's Bottas nine seconds behind. We need to use first gear before the start.
18:13:31
Okay, use first gear again.
18:13:46
OK, sync is good. To the grid. Two burnouts and right-hand side. Two burnouts and the right-hand side.
18:15:15
Keep up the pace on the way in.
18:16:01
OK, B-Charge on. B-Charge off.
18:16:19
So, box, practice pitstop and switch off. Focus on your positioning.
