12:52:50
Radio check, man. Radio check loud and clear.
12:55:21
So we have phase 10 for the wind.
12:55:28
I will come back to you.
12:55:36
Wind simmer. Wind simmer. Wind simmer. Wind simmer. Wind simmer. Wind simmer. Wind simmer. And track has dropped at least four degrees.
12:57:36
Everyone on medium except Hamilton, hard.
12:58:52
No transcript available
12:58:55
OK, to fire up.
12:59:09
There will be pit limiter on. Mode formation, bike point, clutch test, 2 red, K2 on. Pit limiter on.
13:00:08
Ten seconds.
13:00:14
Five seconds.
13:01:04
Secondary F-C position 5.
13:02:58
One short burnout.
13:04:25
K2 off. Right toggle on.
13:04:30
Brake balance plus one.
13:04:45
Double yellow.
13:04:53
We are P8.
13:05:23
That's another race, I guess.
13:05:27
Yes, it is. Right toggle on. Debris turn 6-7.
13:05:57
Possible debris turn 6-7 next corners and double yellow turn 9-10. Perez stop there.
13:06:17
And we stay out, stay out. What a first lap.
13:06:27
So, current positions, Norris P1, Sainz P2, Gasly, Russell, Hulkenberg, Alonso, Magnussen, then you, Piastri P19. Perez stuck now in front of you, double yellow.
13:06:43
Oh, I didn't know Piastri was out. He's still at the back.
13:07:01
There's been a mistake with my delta.
13:07:29
If you can, target between minus 20 to minus 30 on the tyres.
13:07:43
Gap to target. Throttle restart.
13:07:59
Virtual safety car ending. K2 on for the restart.
13:08:19
DRS enabled. Stroll 0.8 behind. Magnussen 0.9 ahead. K2 off.
13:09:01
And it's plan B. Plan B. So take care of tyres. Plan B.
13:09:28
Stroll 1.4 behind no DRS.
13:10:31
And think about better peak and release into turn 5.
13:11:18
We need to manage a bit more turn 3. The rest is fine.
13:12:48
Brake shape minus one.
13:13:05
Verstappen next car behind. Two seconds behind.
13:14:18
Well done. P7. For your reference, Verstappen has a 10 second penalty.
13:15:01
For your reference, Norris B1 29.0. He is 10 seconds ahead.
13:15:27
Secondary KC, position 9. Secondary KC, position 9. You have DRS.
13:16:30
A tiny bit more saving in three, please. More saving in three.
13:18:02
Nice 29.0.
13:18:48
Well done. P6. Switch position yellow. Switch position yellow.
13:19:30
Careful on the upshift into 7th into turn 2.
13:19:59
And we got a first strike at turn one. First strike.
13:22:31
Come on, Charles!
13:23:05
Entire phase update when you can.
13:23:21
It's important to delay the upshift into turn 2. For reliability, please.
13:24:02
Lap times on hard from Hamilton and Piastri, not great for now.
13:24:28
Switch position grey. Switch position grey.
13:25:30
Russell in free air ahead now. Verstappen four seconds behind.
13:25:57
What do you think about plan C? What do you think about plan C?
13:26:04
Uh-oh. That's wrong.
13:27:25
Engine braking plus one. Russell 1.3 ahead. Yeah, I'm losing some time. But yeah, take the other compound.
13:32:32
Box opposite Mercedes. Box opposite Mercedes.
13:32:49
Stay out. Stay out.
13:33:47
Yeah, we are losing time. We're starting to kill my tyres by being behind like this.
13:34:18
Box opposite Russell. Box opposite Russell.
13:34:28
Flat. Broke.
13:34:45
Close to Hulkenberg and Gasly. You have a five-lap delta on tyres.
13:35:02
K2 off and stock 6.
13:35:07
Hulkenberg 0-8 behind.
13:35:16
Hulkenberg with DRS.
13:36:10
So now we undercut Russell.
13:36:18
Russell staying out. I'll give you his lap times. 30.4. Take care of tyres.
13:37:14
Still faster than Russell.
13:39:21
Russell, 30.3.
13:40:14
Now some saving in turns 2 and 3.
13:40:51
Russell, 29.9.
13:42:19
Norris 29.2, Russell 29.9.
13:42:44
So, now it's plan C. Plan C. We need the saving.
13:43:07
That is a bit optimistic in my opinion.
13:43:46
Russell has stopped. He will come around three seconds behind you.
13:44:12
Secondary KC, position 10.
13:45:16
Russell 3.0 behind.
13:46:44
Engine braking minus one. Russell 3.0 behind.
13:47:15
What are the times of the guys in the crop? Norris 28.4, Sainz 28.5.
13:47:34
To Carlos, we need to improve turn 5, losing a tenth.
13:47:49
Focus on my collars.
13:48:13
And we need to improve release into turn 5 for Michael Ox.
13:48:39
And switch position yellow. Switch position yellow. Norris 28.5, Carlos 28.4, Russell 28.5.
13:49:04
Easier entry to the slow speed and better exits.
13:50:09
Norris 28.3, Carlos 28.2, Russell 28.3, you did a 28.6.
13:50:19
Slippery track ahead.
13:51:12
Norris, 28.4.
13:51:38
Watch out for debris. Exit to N67. Track clear now. Track clear.
13:52:37
Delay the upshift after the buff turn 2. It's important.
13:53:09
Where's Jeffrey? Piastri. Where's Jeffrey? Piastri. Paying the penalty in the pitlane.
13:53:28
So you'll be P6, P15 now.
13:54:06
Compared to Carlos, we need to improve turn 6-7.
13:54:32
Norris 28.1, Sainz 28.4, Russell 28.6.
13:54:53
Hamilton ahead on 29.6 and you did a 28.5.
13:56:01
And these laps are good for the upshift in turn 2. Keep it the same. Norris 28.1, Sainz 28.3, Russell 28.4.
13:57:30
Main place to improve is turn 67 ahead. Better exit 7. We're losing tenth and a half there.
13:58:31
This was a good lap. Sainz 28.4.
13:58:59
So you have fast roll corners, still improve exit 7 if you can. Only place where you're losing 50 milliseconds.
14:00:00
Sainz 28.2.
14:01:54
Norris, 27.9. Carlos, 28.1. You did a 28.1. Only lost this corner was 13.14. A tenth and a half. It was good elsewhere.
14:02:56
Carlos 27.9. Focus on turn 5 and 6-7.
14:04:26
Sainz 28.6.
14:05:12
For your reference, this was a poor turn 5.
14:05:53
Sainz 28.0.
14:06:21
You're now starting to feel the wake of Magnussen ahead.
14:07:21
Try to focus on the exit of the low-speed corners. Sainz 28.3.
14:07:50
Yeah, it's hit with the... like I said, it's off. Copy. Keep it clean.
14:08:11
It will be 15 laps to go. 1.5.
14:08:25
Like this we lose the constrictors or not?
14:08:50
Like this, yes, but it's not finished. Keep pushing.
14:10:45
We need to get closer, but Magnussen is on softs. Try your best.
14:11:08
Try SOC 4 if you need.
14:11:48
Okay, let's get back into the rhythm.
14:12:03
I don't know what to call the rhythm, but this is the rhythm.
14:12:18
Sainz 28.3, Norris 28.1.
14:13:15
Twelve laps to go. Norris 28.1, Carlos 28.6.
14:14:03
Easy entry 9 for performance and tyres.
14:14:44
Norris 28.2, Sainz 28.4.
14:16:13
Norris 28.2, Sainz 28.2.
14:17:41
Sainz, 27.8.
14:18:09
Previous lap was P6.7. Pushing too much the entry and losing on exit a tenth and a half.
14:18:29
Diff in plus one. Diff in plus one.
14:19:09
Eight laps to go. 27.9, Carlos.
14:20:37
Norris, 27.9, Carlos, 28.4.
14:22:05
Norris 27.5, Carlos 28.2.
14:22:32
Driver default delta zero on. Driver default delta zero on. Focus on exits of turn seven.
14:22:59
Much better.
14:23:34
Five laps to go. Five laps to go.
14:23:44
Par 5, Carlos, from Lando.
14:23:59
Carlos is 7.5 seconds from Lando. 7.5.
14:24:07
Sorry. Are there some signs of track elsewhere?
14:24:23
Not any particular ones. Let's focus on ourselves. Nothing we can do. Yeah, I'm focused. I've got 16 seconds in front of whatever gap and I don't know, 7 seconds behind.
14:25:03
Sock full. Sock full.
14:26:31
Three laps to go. Sainz 27.8, Norris 27.7.
14:28:00
Two laps to go.
14:29:27
And last lap, last lap. There's a yellow exit turn 5. Lawson, stop there.
14:29:44
Track is clear now. Track clear.
14:30:59
P3. Thank you, Charles.
14:31:04
What a drive!
14:31:13
Charge on. I'll take up.
14:31:44
I don't even know what you're saying.
14:31:49
I don't know what to say.
14:31:54
Thank you, Charles. What a waste.
14:32:06
Charles, you couldn't have done anything more today. This was a special race.
14:32:48
And we will stop on the main straight.
14:33:00
Ah, it hurts. Hurts a lot. Thank you so much to everybody for all the effort you've put into this year. It wasn't enough, but next year it will be, I'm sure. Thank you again for all the hard work, for never giving up. It hurts a lot. I really wish we could have won also for the last season with Carlos. It's been an absolute pleasure to work with him. I wish him the best. Thank you again for everything. I'm sorry that today wasn't enough.
14:33:52
Thank you, Charles.
14:34:19
And so we go on the grid to the main straight.
14:34:24
On the P3 board. P19 to P3. Don't forget it.
14:34:31
Yeah, but I did it.
14:34:42
Stop. P0 when you stop.
