Valtteri Bottas
12:46:14
My last counter and I get it wrong. Now it's 14 minutes.
12:48:17
Twelve, twelve to go. Twelve minutes.
12:50:16
Ten minutes, ten to go.
12:52:15
Eight minutes. Eight minutes. Mechanic, please check tyre blanket courts.
12:54:19
Six minutes, six.
12:55:19
Five. Five minutes to go.
12:56:17
Four minutes to go. Four minutes.
12:57:19
Three minutes to go. Three minutes.
12:57:56
Okay Valtteri, so everybody is on medium apart for Hamilton on new hard, Hamilton P16.
12:58:19
Two minutes. Two.
12:58:57
One minute and twenty seconds.
12:59:19
One minute to go. One.
12:59:46
30 seconds, 30 seconds to go.
13:00:05
Fifteen seconds. My final countdown.
13:00:14
Five seconds to go. Good luck to all.
13:00:44
And do your best to build tyre temperature. Copy. Thank you Sauber. Thank you Ferrari. Let's do it.
13:01:13
And you were target minus one on the drop.
13:01:43
And let's go for four burnouts as discussed.
13:04:24
Overtake available.
13:05:02
Contact with Perez with the front wing. Yep, we saw, we saw, we are checking.
13:06:01
OK so far and all of our numbers seem OK so far.
13:06:14
And virtual safety car.
13:06:20
As you know, follow your delta and try to keep tyre temp. We are currently P13.
13:06:29
Zhou is the car behind and Hamilton in front on hard.
13:06:45
And double yellow. Exit turn 9.
13:08:02
VSC is ending.
13:08:07
Target zero on your delta.
13:08:58
Sock six.
13:09:33
Overtake available.
13:10:03
Entry minus two.
13:10:28
And do your best to close the gap.
13:10:37
We have front wing and plate damage. Yeah, I've got understeer.
13:10:47
E-B7.
13:10:55
If we can't close the gap, we will swap cars.
13:11:52
With the stowage I can't.
13:11:58
Understood.
13:12:08
B-Mega 2.
13:12:35
And we will swap cars into turn 6.
13:12:46
Into turn nine, into turn nine.
13:12:51
We did already. Understood.
13:13:06
Are you happy to continue like this with the wing?
13:13:10
No, it's... car is nowhere. Understood.
13:13:28
And box, Valtteri, box. Copy, box.
13:13:34
And we have a 10 second time penalty. 10 seconds.
13:13:42
For the collision? OK. I had nowhere to go, so that's nice.
13:14:32
And reminder, gentle introduction on these tyres. URP 18 in front of Colapinto. Copy.
13:14:49
And car in front is Piastri. He stopped for Newhart.
13:15:52
And target lap time 29.6.
13:17:22
And we suggest special one, turn one and nine.
13:17:50
And Piastri in front has a 10 second time penalty.
13:18:51
And a bit more management in turn 2. Slightly more lift.
13:20:47
And you can slightly increase liftoff into 5, 6 and 9.
13:20:56
And your turn 2 is good now.
13:22:20
And Stroll stopped for hard. He's in front of Piastri.
13:22:41
And target lap time 29.8.
13:22:55
I'm multi-P, ERS position 6.
13:23:21
Albon, Zhou and Magnussen stopped for hard.
13:23:48
And tyre temperatures are stable. You can remove management.
13:25:21
And Hulkenberg also stopped for hard.
13:25:41
Gasly in the pitlane now. Looks like most cars are two-stopping.
13:27:09
And Zhou has a five second time penalty for a false start. He is 14 seconds in front.
13:27:26
Brake balance minus two.
13:28:19
High speed position 13.
13:28:40
B-Mig 1. B-Mig 1.
13:29:36
Don't overslip the fronts in turn 5 and 6.
13:30:12
Entry minus one.
13:31:17
And your lap times are good. Still 40 laps to go at the end of this one. Let's get back into this race. We can do it.
13:32:48
How is the high-speed balance?
13:32:53
Tent three, super underdose.
13:33:09
High speed position 14. High speed 1-4.
13:34:05
Touhin might stop soon. He's close to our window.
13:34:19
And we think 2-1 is one-stopping.
13:35:46
E-B7 and entry plus one.
13:36:08
So, eight cars look like they are one-stopping. Duin and both racing bulls are in our race.
13:36:49
And mind your front axle in turn 6.
13:37:17
Update on tyres when you can. They're starting to do great, both axles, but step by step.
13:37:40
And avoid the inside kerb in turn 2.
13:38:09
Duin and Tsunoda in the pitlane now. We'll be close with them.
13:38:18
Use overtake.
13:38:37
Overtake available.
13:39:49
Mode ATT&EB8.
13:40:17
And lost and stopped as well. He's in front of Tsunoda.
13:41:20
And Lawson has a problem. He's stopping again. B-Meg 1. B-Meg 1.
13:41:47
Overtake available.
13:41:54
And try not to overslip the front in turn 6.
13:42:52
And the leaders are starting to stop now, all in a one-stop. We're trying to clear them.
13:44:53
And Sainz is 10 seconds behind our pit window now.
13:46:21
And driver default, delta 5-3, delta 5-3.
13:46:48
And we need four more laps to jump positions 1 and 2.
13:46:55
That's Megan. In four more laps, the first and second car will clear our pit window.
13:47:20
These tyres are really struggling. Understood. B-MIG 2 to help the rear.
13:47:56
And update on flap for the next stint. Minus two. Copy.
13:49:08
Magnussen pitlane exit.
13:49:48
Damage. Yep. Box, we have a puncture.
13:50:10
Yeah, the tyres were finished trying to defend, but they're just locked up. My bad. And the leaders are coming through now.
13:50:42
Can you make it to the pitlane?
13:51:27
And it looks like the front right is broken.
13:51:47
Well, that was shit-ending. Yeah, really not the way we were hoping for it to go.
14:32:15
So, now, beyond to the whole team, it was a privilege and a pleasure and an honour serving you for 31 years as a sporting director. You're an incredible bunch of people at the track and at home. Thank you very much.
14:33:02
And the last one drinks R.O.V. at the bar tonight, at the hotel bar.
