Radio check.
16:56:09
Understood.
16:57:32
Understood.
16:57:49
Daniel, all cars on medium apart from Birman, Bottas and Soft.
16:58:04
Understood.
16:58:09
OK, so once we fire up, drop the car, one by point.
17:00:40
On target. OK, let's work hard on those tyres. And a reminder on the distance to the car height. No more than 10 car lengths.
17:00:53
We can work on those brakes on high-speed weaving.
17:01:08
On the last sector we avoid the mini brakes on throttle to make sure the battery is full.
17:02:34
Ok, let's keep working on those tyres.
17:02:43
Confirmed. Three tyre warming. We have Gasly slow in turn 22. Possible gearbox issue.
17:02:52
We stick to the plan for now. He's likely to box. He's still moving.
17:03:01
And good job with your brakes. We're in a good place. First gear, click of attack, straight tyre warming.
17:03:45
Mode 3 as soon as you can.
17:04:05
OK, last car is stopping now. Last car forming now.
17:05:58
Mode 7. Offset 0.
17:06:02
DRS enabled.
17:07:03
EP10.
17:07:11
Behind you is Ocon. Ahead is Hulkenberg. Head down.
17:08:19
OK, let's stay in touch with Hulkenberg. Let's keep the DRS.
17:08:41
And keep us posted on balance if you need help.
17:08:58
100ft. Just a high speed.
17:09:12
Copy that. We are borderline for Hulkenberg DRS. Let's try to stay a little bit closer if we can. We have a train behind Birman and Yuki now.
17:10:50
OK, Hulkenberg is 1.5 behind Albon now, no DRS, and main nose is turn 5 exit. Other car harder on power, turn 4 exit.
17:11:28
And you can start using third to goal, last corner.
17:12:14
On last lap, Albon, Yuki group 35.5. Our lap time 33.6. 36.3.
17:12:25
On last lap, it was 5 metres braking turn 13 and braking turn 16. Let's try to get Hulkenberg.
17:13:02
We have a bit more re-locking now, if you need.
17:13:27
Let's go mode 6, optimum. Let's go mode 6. On last lap was mid to exit turn 13. We overpushed a bit the entry.
17:13:46
Party safety car.
17:14:29
Safety car, safety car. Mode 14.
17:14:38
You want recharge off? Mode 14. Mode 14, charge off. Mode 14, charge off.
17:14:47
Okay, yeah, so just get really light through all the high speed at the moment. I'm in 13, yeah, quite a lot of front drag or front limitation.
17:15:14
And try to stay close to zero, but stay positive. And we have a double yellow tonne 22.23 with Stroll crashed. Watch for debris, please.
17:15:33
OK, double yellow, turn 22.
17:15:43
Once you're past that, let's keep up the weaving, please.
17:15:57
Stay close to zero.
17:16:07
Box. Box. Box. Box. Box. Box.
17:16:17
OK, there's no need for a turbo stack. Turbo stack.
17:17:00
OK. Sorry, Daniel.
17:17:21
Okay, track is clear. Let's cut your queue. Stay positive for now. If you stay positive, on next lap we will be able to cut your queue.
17:18:01
Okay, and let's keep observing everywhere you can, please.
17:18:13
Mode 11, mode 11. Okay, I know it's very hard, but now we keep the head down and we try to get as much as we can. Full attack, okay? We try.
17:18:27
Still a long way to the right.
17:18:32
Did everyone pit?
17:18:36
We have Norris, Zhou and Hulkenberg who didn't pit. Hamilton as well.
17:18:46
So four cars haven't pitted. So stay close to zero.
17:19:12
On the left you can see the tower of Bortas. Everyone is on Bortas.
17:19:35
Stop gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gillets, start gill
17:19:45
OK, let's focus on weaving while you are now. Use a bit of speed and then we can check you.
17:19:59
Okay, Stroll car has been cleared. I'll keep you posted. Let's keep those tyres nice and hot.
17:20:34
Safety guarantee stop.
17:20:46
Charge on, mode 3. Offset minus one. Front tyre will be the limitation to restart.
17:21:00
Okay, I take him for mode 3. Mode 3 for the restart. You can move to it now. Resting from the line, a reminder, you have to be behind the car line and you can't be next to it for the restart.
17:21:20
Okay, that'll hit them. Okay.
17:21:23
Ok, let's go charge off. Charge off now.
17:22:44
Let's go EB10 for opening laps.
17:23:16
Mode 6 and let's go by this car now, one at a time, one at a time, that's the way. Offset 0.
17:23:35
DRS enabled.
17:24:53
Consider entry 10.
17:25:32
Reminder on circle to go last corner. Rear looking on the high side.
17:26:29
OK, last lap. We lost 2 tenths. Exit turn 4-5.
17:26:34
The group ahead is doing 35.3. Our lap time 36.0.
17:27:31
Entry 11 on a horizontal balance in high-speed sector 1. Yeah, I got no grip at the moment. Super twitchy.
17:27:48
Multi-piste 7, drift position 10.
17:28:24
Offset 1.
17:28:56
Mid 4, deep mid 4. Let's put understeer in the car.
17:29:23
On last lap, braking last corner, we lost two tenths, 10 metres.
17:30:31
Consider shape 4 to shift the migration later.
17:30:42
Mode 5. Battery on the high side.
17:31:19
OK, Sargeant, 35.2.
17:31:24
Distance 35.6, your lap time 35.5.
17:31:55
Offset 2.
17:32:54
I know I need a forward brake but I lose so much efficiency. Copy. Happy to come back if you need it.
17:33:32
Okay, continue. EB11 on Bottas ahead of you. He's going slower now.
17:33:55
We have Yuki at the front of that pack, struggling a little bit as well. He's doing 35.9 last lap. Let's get through Bottas.
17:34:30
OK, the aerobalance is starting to look a bit better and the traffic should help to calm down the rear axle. We're out of time.
17:35:33
Back to mode 6. Last lap was braking to exit turn 13.2.
17:36:07
And consider one step up on deep mid for turn 1 and then back for the last sector.
17:37:08
Strat 4 for performance.
17:38:33
OK, the group ahead is starting to pick up the pace. 35.2, last lap.
17:38:44
And Sargeant is 3 ahead of us. We need to get Bottas.
17:39:04
Bleak overtake available.
17:41:58
I'll remind you to click overtake to cancel the clip.
17:43:04
Okay, now we're going to need a bit of lift off in a bit of racing as we can't get by. Lift off is activated, we can't get by.
17:44:44
Okay, good job Daniel, head down. So now we've got Magnussen slowing the pack down ahead of you.
17:44:57
So they are doing 36.0 and Zhou in Friere is doing 35.2.
17:45:09
Co-punition at A.
17:45:14
Magnussen is P12, but he has a penalty and he's trying to help his teammate.
17:45:27
There's a number of people with penalty for track limits. Magnussen has a penalty and Albon is very close to getting one.
17:46:19
So we have Zhou in P11, has not pitted. Zhou is 10 ahead.
17:46:31
Hulkenberg is 16 ahead. Also need to pit.
17:47:16
Only loss compared to Hulkenberg is turn 789.1.
17:47:35
OK, so we are taking one second each lap to the group ahead. Let's make it count.
17:47:54
And we are very close down the switches. If you need to add a bit of rotation again, you can do what you need.
17:48:06
But we are happy on our side. Happy on our side. Sargeant, straight ahead.
17:48:17
On dyno, when we catch heavy traffic, we need to pick up a little bit of lift off.
17:48:24
OK. I can do this somehow if you want.
17:48:34
We are OK now. We don't need too much lift-off now. So just do a few for tyres, but we don't need it for brakes. We are happy now.
17:48:51
OK, so the group ahead is a group of five cars, led by Magnussen, fighting with Yuki.
17:49:41
OK, just a heads up, the cars ahead are attacking very hard all together in turn 1, so get ready and start to overthink.
17:49:55
And compared to Hulkenberg, last lap was braking entry turn 13, one tenth.
17:50:11
And that group is 1.5 seconds slower.
17:51:06
OK, Sargeant is 2.28. We lost a bit of time last lap. Let's target low 35 pre-cam.
17:52:05
OK, Sargeant 1.7.
17:52:41
Okay, so Yuki lost the position to the Alpine, so now you've got two Williams and Yuki directly ahead.
17:52:54
OK, what's the limitation in high speed, Daniel? We lose a bit of time only in high speed.
17:53:02
Same as yesterday, just very light. We can close the diff one more time. Multi B7, diff position 11. Let's go catch Sargeant and start to overtake Carlos.
17:53:47
Is everyone on hard? Confirmed.
17:53:56
So let's get into that fight. People are making mistakes.
17:54:17
And once you are in the gearbox, a bit of lift off.
17:54:42
So, Hulkenberg in P10 is now 20 ahead and is close to a pitstop ahead of us. I'll keep you posted on him.
17:54:58
And Kelly Magnussen, ahead of that group, is trying to help his teammates. That's why there's a queue.
17:55:17
OK, Bottas is starting to catch up, so let's make sure we go on that fight, guys.
17:55:34
Bottas 1.5 behind.
17:56:35
On men, last lap was turn 13. Two tenths.
17:56:49
Okay, good job on the lift-off. So keep doing what you are doing now and let's try to take any opportunities.
17:57:28
Let's go mode 8 to have Martin with a quick overtake.
17:57:35
Can you repeat? Mode 8, 12 margin for click of a take. Bottas is close to your DRS now.
17:57:52
Keep us posted if you need help for balance, otherwise I'll leave it to you now.
17:58:27
On this amount of lift-off is good. We need to keep the same amount. Thank you.
17:59:47
OK, Hulkenberg in the pitlane. Close pit exit. Hulkenberg in the pitlane.
18:00:20
OK, managed to go ahead of that group. Let's keep pushing.
18:00:37
On Zhou, still hasn't pitted. He's currently in P10. On Zhou, he will end up behind us at the moment. Keep your busters.
18:02:12
And then we had to push on tyres, and then we had to push on tyres, and then we had to push on tyres, and then we had to push on tyres, and then we had to push on tyres, and then we had to push on tyres, and then we had to push on tyres, and then we had to push on tyres, and then we had to push on tyres, and then we had to push on tyres, and then we had to push on tyres, and then we had to push on tyres, and then we had to push on tyres, and then we had to push on tyres, and then we had to push on tyres, and then we had to push on tyres, and then we had to push on tyres, and then we had to push on tyres, and then we had to push on tyres, and then we had to push on tyres, and then we had to push on tyres, and then we had to push on tyres, and then we had to push on tyres, and then we had to push on tyres, and then we had to push on
18:03:09
OK, turn 13 is our main limitation. Two tenths compared to cars ahead. How can we help in turn 13?
18:03:19
Very neutral on the way in. Then I lose the front.
18:03:27
I've just got to watch the rear on exit, so a little bit of everything for now. I think we're OK with the switches.
18:03:44
We have a max 10 behind.
18:04:01
Mode 6, currently in 8. Back to 6.
18:04:10
Consider one click forward for turn 13 and then back.
18:04:28
OK, Sargeant is now 1.2 and Yuki has lost DRS. Let's try to get in that fight.
18:04:45
Reminder, let's try one click forward, turn 13, on the track.
18:07:19
Magnussen and Ocon are picking up the pace ahead of the group. 34.0, last lap.
18:07:53
Max is 5 behind. I think we've lost it.
18:09:33
So, main loss was braking turn 13 on the high speed.
18:10:45
On max is 2.8, I keep you posted. Everyone will take the same blue flags. So we try to lose minimum time.
18:11:18
OK, that was a good lap. Let's keep the rhythm.
18:12:22
OK, Zhou in the pitlane. Zhou in the pitlane. He should be behind us.
18:12:53
That's a blue flag for Max. Let's try to lose minimum time.
18:13:25
OK, let's try to follow him through. Uncatch Sargent back please.
18:13:38
Let's go mode 5. Mode 5, battery is full again.
18:14:29
Ok, so Yuki last lap was a 33.6.
18:14:47
On your fastest lap in the Dacia at the moment, it is 33.5.
18:15:11
Mid 5.
18:15:29
Okay, so there may be a bit of a mess ahead with Sargeant and Yuki together and Max coming. Let's see if we can do something.
18:17:01
Okay, Sargeant, I set max bike now. It's 2.5 ahead.
18:17:20
Last lap was just turn 13, one tenth braking turn 13.
18:18:20
And Perez is 3 behind.
18:18:36
And good, you're 10.13, that was good.
18:20:11
Sergeant 1.6, three more laps. Three more laps after this one.
18:21:29
On Perez 1.4, I'll keep you posted. Let's try to get the DRS detection when he comes through.
18:22:34
OK, Daniel, we're checking everything.
18:22:47
That's it. You've hit too much ground. Damn well.
18:22:58
OK, Leclerc, two behind. It's one more lap after this one.
18:24:21
So we have Leclerc directly behind and then it's Bottas 5 behind. I'll keep you posted.
18:24:40
OK, blue flag for Leclerc. Make sure we let him by. Let's not get a penalty for the next one.
18:24:46
Next one. Bottas is 5 behind. Bottas is our ace.
18:25:28
OK, Daniel, charge on and fail 84, please.
18:25:44
It's been so difficult. We need to do better and we'll give you better. We'll work hard on this.
18:25:58
Understood. We're going to wake off soon. Get on top of it.
18:26:09
Yeah, the spin, that was my fault. I just took too much curb, so... Yeah, no worries. Don't worry. That's OK. Thank you.
18:26:23
So that's Max, Perez, Leclerc, top three, as you saw with the blue flags, and then we've got Piastri P4, Alonso P5, Russell in P6, Biermann P7, Norris 8, Hamilton 9.
18:26:41
Concluding the top 10 is Hulkenberg in 10th.
18:26:53
The pace was very much aligned to the other car. I think you've done what you could there. We just need to improve the balance.
18:27:06
Yeah, it was, I think starting the hard it was very sharp, but then in clear air, I think the balance was that. I think just, yeah, as mentioned, similar to yesterday, balance wasn't too far off. Clear. We know we've been carrying a few things on our side, so we make sure we come back strong.
18:27:41
Okay, so that will be stop at the bridge and when you stop, P1, wait for the dash and P0.
18:28:32
OK. Thank you, Daniel. Once again, we appreciate the team and we still have a day very shortly to look at many things. Thanks for today and P-0 when you've got the dash.
18:28:46
Yep, understood.
18:28:50
Yep, I think it's clear going forward. Obviously a tough one, but I don't think we should lose any confidence from it. Very much. We stick together and we fight hard. I'll be definitely on it.
