12:21RICRicciardoPitPitAnd Daniel do you want to add flap? I'm okay. Copy that. We'll just go again. Yeah copy that, box this lap.0:1012:22BOTBottasPitPitSo, constant speed in pit lane, knob and outs, and straight out.0:0812:22OCOOconPitPitSo we think we're on target with balance so far. Copy. OK, so we'll be driving through another lap.0:1012:23VERVerstappenPitPitOK, box and confirm, Max. Box, pit, confirm. Let me know if you need a front wing adjustment. No, it's OK. Understood.0:1312:24HAMHamiltonPitPitSo, constant speed, no burn -outs. Er, pit lane's obviously busy as you can see. What did you say? Just said, pit lane's obviously busy. Er, surface temps, just getting into the window towards the end of the lap.0:1712:24NORNorrisPitPitOK, mate, we go to the grid, we go to the grid, please confirm. Yeah, confirm. Understood, any comment on car balance? I think OK, if anything, I still might say a bit overbalanced, a bit difficult to say. OK, no problem, we will take a look together.0:1912:25PERPerezPitPitYou can take retarge off, have a look at sector 3, to the grid. To the grid, leave the engine running. Copy, I'm at the back of the grid.0:1512:26PERPerezPitPitOk, check out. Anything wrong with the car? No, all good. Copy. Ok, you can do some switches now. You can go to mode 12, mode 12, recharge off. And if you'd like to apply a bias offset you can do that now also.0:1912:26BOTBottasPitPitCool the car and you're going to the back of the grid, so stay out, back of the grid, shift down to first, then neutral, switch off P2 with the fuel off the brakes, and the fuel is on target.0:2012:27RUSRussellPitPitJust make sure you check the drinks as well George, go into the grid, we'll do a static bike point find when you pull up.0:0912:28VERVerstappenPitPitEverything okay with the car? Yeah, all good. Copy that, see you back here.0:1112:29HAMHamiltonPitPitIt'll pass through the pit lane once more, take out one hole, AFIRM, take out one hole, so just call the car, leave the engine running, we'll call you back.0:2412:30OCOOconPitPitAnd it's box now to drive through. Do you want to flap adjust? No, I don't think so. Okay, copy that. I think balance is about 0 .2 or half a turn over target at the moment. Yeah, it's probably what I feel as well. Okay, copy that. I think that's good. Let's drive through. One more lap, we'll be going to the grid after this one.0:2512:31STRStrollPitPitSo Lance, it's 15 kph tail into 9 and then turning into that as a headwind on exit.0:1012:50HAMHamiltonPitPitRadio check. Yeah, radio's loud and clear. Radio check from the garage.0:1112:51VERVerstappenNo, it's okay. Understood.0:0612:53HAMHamiltonFeels like a little bit cooler today, is that not the case? Lewis, yeah, we've had a bit of cloud cover pretty much all day, so yeah, a little bit cooler. Track temp, it's just converging on where it normally sits in the evening. Lewis, just confirming we've come down that extra one turn. How's that put us compared to the other day? Similar to FP1, FP3, a little bit higher than FP2, to the tune of about 2 .5 holes. Yeah, we're the same as the other car now. Yeah.0:4712:54LATLatifiPitPitHave a good last one, Niki. Let's race them hard, okay? Race them hard. Yep. As Joost would say, let's go racing! Let's go racing, mate. 5 minutes.0:2012:56VERVerstappenPitPitOK, so, formation lap procedure. For the WG launch, mode 12, pit limiter off, the static by -point find at once the car is on the rim. The third gear, inspection, welcome. And then for the record, formation lap, might decide as ever. Are you looking to target zero on the dash, on the rears? Target zero on the dash to the rears, as ever, as you can in the criteria on the throttle. So, I thought, as you come back around on the exit at turn 16, so it's from the end of the left -hand side kerb, which is around P31, click the overtake, turn 2, long burnout, turn 2, burnout, and run the kerb down into your start position.0:5612:57RICRicciardoPitPitOk Daniel, tyre information. So, Fernando behind is on used hard, Gasly is on a new hard, then medium starters are Stroll, Giovinazzi, Vettel, Latifi, Russell and Raikkonen, and Schumacher at the back is starting on a soft.0:1812:58MSCSchumacherPitPitOkay, it's two minutes till we go, two minutes. When we fire up, press K1, run around the deck, we'll do the static flight point learn, you'll switch the pit limiter on, keep the pit limiter until the line, and remember to go back to mode race start before the start, and funk 4 is set, and we're ready to go.0:2112:59RICRicciardoLet's have some fun.0:0612:59RUSRussellCheers everybody. Been a good three years. Let's enjoy this one.0:0813:00RAIRaikkonenPitPitGood luck and enjoy.0:0513:01MSCSchumacherPitPitOkay, let's go Mick, you got this.0:0513:04VERVerstappenYes, you get that back.0:0513:04HAMHamiltonPitPitPush me up track. Copy, we're happy with the gap that you've reinstated.0:0813:05BOTBottasPitPitAnd Lewis is in the lead.0:0513:07VERVerstappenRadio, the package has easily cut the corner. Yep, we're on it Max, don't worry, you just focus on your rear right side.0:1013:07VERVerstappenPitPitOkay mate, so just get your head down, no investigation on the shortcuts or the advantages that he's gained in terms of gaps, so let's just get on with this and win it on track mate. That is incredible, what are they doing here?0:1613:08VETVettelPitPitSo Lance 0 .5 ahead, Raikkonen does not have DRS behind.0:0513:09LATLatifiAnd safety car window is open. Just saying, it's our normal first pit struggle, so we gotta get off this tyre as soon as we can. It's terrible.0:1313:10PERPerezPitPit28 .7 for Hamilton, 29 .0 for Max. Typically losing just a little bit, turn 1 to Max.0:1013:11OCOOconI'm hurting my tyres a lot, I have to keep them behind. Copy that. How's your status? Zero. Copy. He has DRS still.0:1113:13TSUTsunodaPitPitWe can push more on the front tyres now, push more on the fronts.0:0613:14SAISainzPitPitThis is our target to extend, you are doing a good job.0:0713:15VERVerstappenWe are starting to struggle a little bit.0:0613:16ALOAlonsoPitPitWe have time to gain braking for turn 6. Yeah, I hope you saw out of turn 6, first lap, on the right.0:1513:16MSCSchumacherPitPitJust see if you can get some tow back, it's very helpful to have the tow, close it up a bit. Ok, I'll try.0:0913:17NORNorrisPitPitAnd Lando, how are the tyres? How's the pace? Uh, similar to P2. Rears. Uh, pace I would say is okay. Hard to say. Seems like not so good to be honest with you. Okay.0:2313:17ALOAlonsoPitPitTire temps are stabilising now. When you can, can you update your drive switch please?0:0713:18ALOAlonsoStrange behaviour on the front end, like giving up in 10 .3 and 10 .1 is a win, ok? Ok, double checking.0:1513:19HAMHamiltonPitPitIt's a great lap Lewis, just keep it up, just keep the pressure on.0:0713:19RICRicciardoPitPitTyre usage good in turn 9 last time. OK, understood. Yeah, just taking a hit, just sitting at this distance. A little bit plodder at the moment.0:1613:20BOTBottasIt's impossible to do anything here on this train. I can't follow the last sector. I'll keep the tyres in good shape.0:1113:20VERVerstappenOur radar is already struggling. Ok, understood mate.0:0913:21TSUTsunodaPitPitYuki, we are rear left limited, so watch we spin and we can push in the high speed, push in the high speed.0:1513:21VETVettelPitPitSebastian, when you're ready, can I have an aerobalance check? Yeah, it's pretty okay, the wind is still making a difference. Yeah, copy that, copy.0:1313:22NORNorrisPitPitWe keep losing gears. This might continue to happen.0:0713:23HAMHamiltonPitPitOK Lewis, so box, box.0:0513:24RUSRussellPitPitGive me feedback on tyres and balance when you can. Balancing a bit all over the place, bit understeer, high speed, bit oversteer, low speed, tyres feel like 8 overall though.0:1413:25SAISainzPitPitHe's on new R, Verstappen is 2 .7 behind, 2 .7, on new R.0:0813:25PERPerezPitPitOkay, Hamilton's pitted. Plan A. Correction. Plan B. Plan B.0:0913:25LECLeclercI'm struggling with tyres guys, there is. Copy and understood.0:0913:26PERPerezPitPitPlan B. Plan B. Hamilton at 10 .4 seconds.0:0713:27BOTBottasPitPitSo when you get DRS from Snodder you're going to have 25 kilometres advantage.0:0713:28RICRicciardoPitPitDaniel, do you think the tyre's coming back in clear air? Do you think the tyre will come back in clear air? I don't think enough. It might stay like this, but I don't think it'll get quicker. Copy, stay out.0:1613:28RAIRaikkonenPitPitI think we should try to lock out with the safety cars. When we come to the pit, at least three down. Ok, copy.0:1413:29NORNorrisPitPitLaunch map, launch map, launch map, minor, default 0 -6 again, default 0 -6 again.0:0813:30TSUTsunodaDon't care about too much motors, really. Copy, let's push, let's push.0:0713:30STRStrollPitPitSo Norris is now behind Raikkonen, just boxed, come out on new hard, Giovinazzi has stopped on medium, that's early, so Sebastian has free air ahead now.0:1213:31PERPerezPitPitOK, we'll be looking to hold up Lewis. I think we're supposed to do that. Is it 2 seconds?0:0913:31SAISainzNearly clear, I think box. Repeat, it wasn't clear, repeat. I think I am close to the... close to the cliff. OK, understood, we are ready.0:1613:33PERPerezPitPitOk, back him up, back him up.0:0413:33HAMHamiltonDangerous, aren't they?0:0613:34PERPerezPitPitOk, give max DRS, back up, back up, max DRS.0:0513:34VERVerstappenOh, Cechu is a legend. Absolute animal.0:0713:35RUSRussellPitPitHappy to reduce the saving. Steven Atsi within 2 .6.0:0913:35VETVettelPitPitThis person, Lance has boxed. Use everything now, use everything.0:0613:36VETVettelHow are the heart holding on for other people? Yeah, yeah, good for others.0:0813:36RICRicciardoPitPitGood job, Daniel.0:0513:37PERPerezReload positions. Negative.0:0613:37PERPerezSo we're going through the end. We're looking what we can do to help Max. So consider plan A for now. Consider plan A for now. Let's push on.0:1313:38TSUTsunodaPitPitFighting Leclerc out of the pits, overtake, and mode 7.0:0713:38STRStrollPitPitSebastian is exiting the pits on hard Sebastian is exiting the pits on hard0:0713:39SAISainzPitPitLando, lap time, more than the gap, please. Yeah, understood, 29 .4.0:0813:40RUSRussellPitPitGap at point nine. Bad upshifts. Every upshift is very bad.0:0813:41RAIRaikkonenSomething broke. I don't know what's happened. I have a sprain. I don't know what happened. OK, can't see anything so far. Keep going. Like when I tried to brake down into 5 and then exit, I had like really weird... I don't know what happened. OK, stand by. Stand by. Keep going. No, it's OK. OK, we stay out. We stay out.0:3913:42RAIRaikkonenThey had the brakes f***ing felt.0:0513:43RUSRussellLast drive. Yep, just came over.0:08
