How is the balance, Liam?
I got a lot of work, but honestly I don't mind it.
Engine braking ten.
Liam, with the rears getting hotter,
we see more energy on the rear so we need to do more management,
especially the low speed tractions.
Okay.
And for info, gap behind Albon is four seconds for now.
Stable.
How many places are doing the most damage?
Turn one, turn four exits.
We can try some lift off turn ten for tyres.
We can take a bit more margin, five, six, seven exits.
We would prefer offset one to protect the rears.

So we need to be ready to go long.

Liam, a lot of other cars getting penalty for speeding in the pit lane.
So when we box, do not cut any line.
Do not cut the lines.
