Radio check.

Yeah, I'll do it after the formation lap.

Yep, it is yet.

Will I need a pit limiter or...?

No self-starter.

Yeah, good comps. Every lap from the moment it matters. Let's do it, boys. Let's enjoy. Let's get it.

Cucan, high slip out of seven.

Start feedback. The drop was good, but you can feed in earlier.

No transcript available

OK, if you can do some high slip.

Tyre temp is looking good.

As you approach the grid, we'd like three burnouts out of turn 16.

And then we can go minus two on the dash, minus two on offset.

Last car on the grid.

Okay, gap to Sainz ahead 0.8, Russell 0.5 behind. Currently got Perez stopped in turn 10.

BSC, BSC recharge on. No overtaking. So stick to your delta. Let me know about rear slip. Okay, we'll get you some feedback.

Okay, we'll take a quick look. Alright, so we've got Perez stopped around turn 10 on the right-hand side. So double yellow in turn 10.

And where is Mike and the McLaren? Are they still in the race? Currently still in the race, have not retired.

So, we are in P3, Hulken P5, and then we've got Verstappen 11, Piastri down at the back.

And we're happy with rear slip. We're happy to stay where we are on offset.

I need very precise information where it's going to go, VSC is going to be unthinkable.

I will give you as much information as I have. Currently we've got double yellow turn nine.

So let's just try and stick to your delta where you can.

I don't know why they are slower than the Delta. OK, so clear turn 9.

So it could be a VSC ending. VSC ending.

Delta with Sainz after turn 1 envelope.

Copy. Currently 1.1 to Sainz.

Turn 1.2.

Okay, DRS enabled. Gap to Sainz point eight, Russell point six.

Yeah, my tyres don't work. Tell me I won't gap. Copy, I'm on it.

Gap to Sainz 1.5.

And 1.7.

So, we've got mid 4 available and then we need PU4 position 10.

OK. Signs 1.7.

Okay, gap to Russell behind 0.8.

Okay, so gap to Sainz currently 2.5.

Okay, gap to Russell, 0.8. Some cars reporting low deg. How do the tyres feel? Yeah, just the rear's gonna help me with the rear's traction. Copy.

Okay, we've got offset zero available.

OK, Russell 0.8 behind.

Okay, gap to Russell 0.8. Best place to save the rear is 2 and 3.

If I do not get DRS, get past me, but thanks.

Yep, agree with that. Keep doing what you're doing, mate. You're doing a good job.

Okay, Russell behind 1.0.

Gap. He has lost DRS 1.0.

I need to recharge the bike. Okay, stand by.

So we have SOC 8 available.

Gap to Russell 1.1, tyres are looking good to us so far.

Okay, gap to Russell 1.3. Deg is still looking low for most people, so we are. Yes. Stick to the plan.

Turn 6, struggling a bit with rear slip. Okay, copy.

Gap to Russell 1.1. We've got offset plus one available for turn six only.

Okay, Russell behind at 1.2.

OK, Russell still 1.1.

Gap to Russell 1.1.

So tyre energy is looking stable. Doing a good job. Keep going.

Okay, gap to Russell 1.0.

Gap to Russell 1.0. How are the tyres?

Slowly decelerating.

Okay, we're still on plan A at the minute, but we're watching things.

Okay, gap to Russell 0.9.

DRS start to have more deck.

Gap to Russell 0.9. The wind has shifted in turn 8 and we're thinking minus one at the next stop. Copy.

Box, box, box, P-O, box.

Okay, so it's going to be closed with jack on pit exit.

Okay, so behind Jack is Hulkenberg. He's four seconds behind us.

Okay, so car ahead is Tsunoda, 1.6 ahead.

Tsunoda doing 30.7.

And Hulkenberg last lap was a 29.8.

Okay, nice work. Next car is Lawson.

Okay, so gap to Tsunoda at 1.3.

And we have SOC 10 available.

Okay, so Tsunoda 1.5 behind. Ahead is Lawson 5.1.

Lap 8 difficult.

Yes, agree with that, mate. We are on plan B.

Okay, mate, so we're happy to push harder on this tyre. Hulkenberg did a 29.1.

So Tsunoda 2.9 behind and Hulkenberg right on his tail.

Okay, car behind is Hulkenberg.

Okay, so Hulkenberg 2.8 behind. Happy to push as necessary to stay ahead, mate.

Fuel situation? Fuel situation. We could do with a little bit of lift and coast. You've got Hulkenberg 3.2 behind.

Gap to Hulkenberg 3.0. Fairly stable. You've got Leclerc in the pits. He should come out behind us on pit exit.

OK, so Lawson 1.9 ahead. He's doing 30.7. Leclerc is the car behind 2.4.

We think we can push harder on the rear axle if possible.

Gap to Lassen 1.1. Leclerc is 1.4 behind.

Okay, so I'm lost in the 0.9, Leclerc at 1.5.

Okay, gap to Lassen, point six. Leclerc, point six.

Gap to loss in 0.5. Overtake available.

I still have overtake available.

OK, so Leclerc is 0.9 behind.

Hulkenberg two seconds behind Leclerc.

And we have SOC 11 available for quicker recharge.

OK, so Hulkenberg at 1.5 behind. His last lap 29.9.

Okay, we have offset zero available for turn six only.

And how's the balance?

That's just grip really. Okay, copy.

Okay, gap to Leclerc, two seconds. Hulkenberg is two seconds behind. Gap fairly stable. You're doing a good job. You were four tenths quicker that lap. How do the tyres feel?

Do I feel ok? Just a bit of traction?

Okay, so lift and coast could help.

Ok, we have Russell in the pits now. It will be close on pit exit.

Okay, so Russell 0.4 behind.

Okay, so gap to Russell 1.1, Hulkenberg 1.4 behind.

So gap to Russell 1.3, Hulkenberg 1.4. If you can do more lift and coast, it'll help us with fuel, and you've got offset zero available turn six.

Let me know if there are places where I'm losing compared to you.

OK, mate. GLS pace looking good. Let's keep pushing.

If we can, we'd like to push a bit more. We'd like to build that gap to Hulkenberg a bit.

Yeah, that's alright.

Got a little bit of time to gain in the final corner.

Okay mate, gap to Hulkenberg 1.7 and if you're not already, let's go stay to zero.

Hulkenberg 1.8 behind. Last lap you were three tenths quicker.

Gap to Hulkenberg 1.8.

Gap to Hulkenberg 1.9. Last lap you were one tenth quicker. Tracks slippery. Turn 6.

Okay, gap to Hulkenberg at 2.1. How do the tyres feel?

What's Loosen doing ahead of our race on the...

So Lawson will get blue flags for us.

OK, so lost in the head 3.5 seconds on 8 lap old hards.

Okay, we could use second gear in turn five and short shift if necessary for energy.

Gap to Hulkenberg 2.0.

And main time to gain is still turn 16 mid-corner compared to Hulkenberg.

Okay, gap to Hulkenberg 1.8.

Okay, and Hulkenberg, last lap was a 29.3. How's the balance?

A bit of understeer mid corner, a bit of traction, first lap.

Okay, gap to Hulkenberg at 1.9.

We have 24 laps remaining, including this one.

Okay, gap to Hulkenberg at 1.8. Keep pushing, mate.

Gap to Hulkenberg 2.0.

Gap to Hulkenberg 1.9.

If you can confirm your status.

Okay, so no need for lifting in turns two and three from our side.

Hulkenberg, last lap 29.4. You guys are racing within a tenth of each other each lap.

So gap to Hulkenberg 1.9.

Gap to Hulkenberg 2.2.

Watch track limits in turn 1.

Gap to Hulkenberg 2.1.

Okay, gap to Hulkenberg 2.2.

Okay mate, so DAG is still very low. What are your thoughts on plan C?

Okay, gap to Hulkenberg 1.9.

Fortunately, I forgot my alphabet, so... Okay, so we've got 18 laps remaining after this one.

And DAG is quite... Grip constant. Yeah, grip constant, DAG is low, so there is a possibility that plan A or C comes back into play.

Alright, so car behind is Hamilton. The gap is 1.4.

Okay, gap to Hamilton 1.1. So let's keep going mate, you're doing a really good job.

OK, so Hamilton 0.6 behind. He's on used medium. Seven laps.

Hamilton, point five behind.

Okay, so car behind is Hulkenberg. He's 2.5 seconds back.

Okay, gap to Hulkenberg 2.4.

And Hulkenberg still 2.5 behind.

Okay, so car behind is Verstappen. He's 1.9 behind.

Gap still 1.72 Verstappen. You've got 15 laps to go, including this one.

Okay, so Verstappen 1.0 behind.

And Hulkenberg last lap 29.6.

OK, so gap to Nico behind 2.8.

Gap to Hulkenberg. Copy, we'll take a look. 3.0 to Hulkenberg.

Let's just try and manage this gap late.

Okay Pierre, so let's try and do some saving in 2 and 3 to help the rears. Got 12 laps to go.

And you've still got a three second gap. You guys are still doing lap times within a tenth of each other. It's likely that he's going to the end.

Gap to Hulkenberg 2.5. Tyre energy is looking good.

Gap to Hulkenberg still 2.8.

Okay, so gap stable to Hulkenberg at 2.7.

I've got nine laps remaining.

So the situation, we're currently in P7, Hulkenberg in P8, his tyres are one lap older than yours. And then in P9 is Albon, his tyres one lap older than Hulkenberg's.

I need to think about tyre saving in turn 9.

Okay, gap to Hulkenberg 2.7.

Okay, gap to Hulkenberg at 2.6.

And we've got six laps to go after this one.

Okay, gap to Hulkenberg 2.4. That's six laps remaining.

Okay mate, still 2.6 to Hulkenberg and I know you're doing it, but let's just stick to the racing line. There's still debris around, especially 6 and 7.

Gap to Hulkenberg 2.9.

No more gap. Blue.

KPI, we have SOC 3 available. SOC 3, 4 laps remaining.

OK, two laps remaining. Two laps.

Sock 1 available.

Okay, mate, this is the final lap. Last lap.

Okay, and if you can, a little bit more lift in coast. And when you cross the line, we'll do a big lift. No problem.

OK, that is the chequered flag, mate. So let's go scenario 12. Scenario 12. And let's focus on fuel saving on the inlap.

That's P7 for us, mate. Great job.

Beautiful. That's beautiful. I am so happy for you guys. So happy. What a end of the year.

Started very far away, but very impressive job. Turned the season around. Hats off. So, very good job, CAF. Been feeling good this last few races, so thanks a lot for that. Thanks to all the team, keeping up with the hard work the entire season. And yeah, very good job. I think we got a good baseline to work for 2025. You guys got me excited for next year, so let's go. Well deserved the leader before. Anyway, congrats guys and thank you. Yes, thank you, mate. Very well driven today. It was quite a long stint on that hard tyre. So you did a great job with that, so thanks a lot. From where we started this year to now, it's been quite a year, but appreciate your efforts. And we look forward to next season. Yeah, it was pretty nice to run third at the start of the race for a few laps. Yeah, that was a little exciting, wasn't it? Let's hope we get more of it next year.

OK, so...

Okay, mate, so P1 was Norris, Sainz in second, and Leclerc in P3, Hamilton was fourth, Russell P5, Verstappen P6, yourself in P7, then Hulkenberg behind in eighth, and it was Alonso and Piastri rounding out the points.

So, McLaren is champion? I need to check that. What I do know is we are P6 and you are P10. And McLaren is constructors champion.

Copy. All the targets have been achieved. P6 in the constructor, P10 in the driver and still zero damage across the year. Well rounded season.

End of the year, let's say.

Anyway, great car. Head down for next year. Yes, thank you mate. Very well driven. Once you get to the pitlane, let's follow the usual switch-off procedures.
