PIT to LOGAN
Okay, that's chequered flag. You did your best lap on the last lap. P17, not an easy race with all the blue flags and in dirty air most of the race. Came alive, definitely, towards the end. The pace was really good at the end. LOGAN to PIT Yeah, that was tough with all the blues and that first stint. The dirty air is so detrimental. JAMES to LOGAN Yeah, you fought well, Logan. There's a bit more in it, you could see the few cars in front of you, but still very well done and lots of learning to take forward.

ALEX to PIT
I don't know if it helps Logan, but just run at a really low BMIG and then just use a rotation to go up to 7. But the lower the BMIG the better. Run it at 58%.
PIT to ALEX
Copy, thank you.
ALEX to PIT
If he's struggling with understeer in turn 7, go wide. It's better.
PIT to ALEX
Copy, they've taken that. Thank you.

Race
Welcome to the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, better known as Imola, a circuit rich in motorsport history and tradition, hosting the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
Imola has hosted the Italian and San Marino Grands Prix in the past, and its narrow track with minimal runoff areas harkens back to a classic venue that demands pinpoint precision from the drivers.
Passionate Italian fans and the Emilia Romagna region's gorgeous nature create an amazing atmosphere as the cars make their way through the undulations and woodland.
Circuit Overview:
Imola's 4.909 km (3.050 miles) anti-clockwise layout features 19 turns that wind through the scenic Santerno River valley.
The circuit begins with a sequence of high-speed and chicanes, with the iconic Tamburello and Villeneuve corners making up the first sector.
Sector 2 is a rollercoaster, especially with the downhill braking zone at Acque Mineralli, and it ends with Sector 3's hilltop Variante Alta chicane and a tricky downhill run into Rivazza as two right-hand corners end this historic lap.
