From looking at this afterwards, your front brakes were cooking themselves, specifically into T1. The brake temp display in the HUD is quite liberal, the range it displays green is wider then the optimum, so that it discolored to orange at all is concerning. Clearly brake ducts were too closed, likely set to 2, I have not been able to run less then 3, running often 4 (although 3-3 yesterday), sometimes up to 6 (Misano rear ducts). Also overpressured tires, rears just about in range, fronts 0.1-0.4 outside, not the end of the world, but you didn't fix it in the pitstop. The 26-27psi range has been a thing for the last 1.5 years...
Front ducts were indeed 2, I had to do this because they were in the blue for all of my practice on 3. I think the issue was that I finally got confident enough on the brakes by race time that I was then putting more heat into them I was deliberately aiming for as close to 27 as possible on the pressures (historically it’s felt a lot better for me getting them as high as possible). Could probably have come down on them indeed. Didn’t consider a pit stop change because the pace was fine for P2 anyway at that point (I was not going to catch you lol)
