Bye.

Norris is doing like a waiting behind Matt.

Piastri behind in FIA, catching up with a 15.2 for reference.

Engine braking minus one.

Yeah, Norris is slow.

And Norris being told to close the gap to Verstappen.

He's taking too much margin.

That's the first one for today, Clayton.

Reference Piastri slowly coming up behind as well. Nine laps to go.

Small amount of Lyco at turn 10.

Some mild Lyco, please.

And Piastri 1.0 behind.

Yeah, he's making many mistakes at the moment.

Five laps to go.

Where is Verstappen stopping? End of this lap.

And pull down the engine.

Yeah, good job, boy.

I guess not much more we could have done today. It's a shame, but we tried everything. I guess, I mean, disappointment is big on my side, as I was saying yesterday, but coming here this weekend, I was thinking about a top ten would have been good, so I guess it's a lot better than what we initially thought. Thank you.

Yeah, I agree. Solid weekend and good points.

Thanks, Charles. I was expecting a bit better than top ten. Thanks.

And big Lyco into turn 10, please, if you can gain some speed.

And we will go to the grid.

Through the grid. E2 board.

Where did you lose? P5.
