Max Verstappen
18:54:28
Yeah, ready. Check.
19:03:34
Last car approaching the back of the grid now.

19:03:58
I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90.
19:04:25
Car behind. Leclerc.
19:04:40
Mode 6 and bias offset.
19:05:32
Gap 1.4.
19:06:24
EURUS is enabled.
19:07:57
Engine 11. Engine 1-1. Position 6 when you can.
19:08:04
Currently saving the bow through 3-4-5-6.
19:09:03
So gap 2.4 but Norris now hustling Leclerc.
19:09:41
Again, slowest car through 3, 4, 5, 6. You are strong in 8.
19:10:45
Consistently quickest in turn 16, 17, 18 and 19, so just bear that in mind.
19:12:24
Gap three seconds for Leclerc at 40.0.
19:12:47
You have to let me know the right gear. 234.
19:13:03
7th gear is fine, Max. Gear 7 is fine. In fact, Leclerc really pushed in sector 1 three tenths quicker than you that time.
19:14:05
And gap 3.0. Lando, this lap 1.4 behind Charles.
19:14:41
Max showing slippery surface 15. There was some contact between Sainz and Antonelli. VSC, motor safety car deployed. Dash positive. Dash positive.
19:14:53
A scientist stopped very close to a marshalling post on the left-hand side. Exit turn 19 off track, so this should be relatively quick.
19:15:23
Also showing double yellow. Just keep an eye on my tyre pressures. Yeah, also showing double yellow to 19 now. Double yellow where you are approaching.
19:16:02
Are you sure it's all on balance, Max? Front tyres are getting hot. That's the problem. Balance is OK.
19:17:10
Mode 5 for now, please, Max.
19:17:19
We're just looking at whether there's options to just bring that peak bias rearwards, Max.
19:17:43
Only that last lap and that's the last sector.
19:17:55
OK, let's start there, Max, and then we can pre-evaluate whether we look at an alternative peak bias and eval migration check.
19:18:10
BSC ending. Eyes on dash. Don't pre-empt it.
19:20:39
Leclerc still pushing turn 3, 4, 5, 6. That's relative to any other car at the moment.
19:21:33
Management in 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th similar to Norris.
19:25:34
Gap across the line was 4.1. A6-1 is still two tenths slower than Leclerc. Lando now also pushing A6-1. But we will manage as you have been so far, please Max. No change there.
19:28:07
OK Max, so whilst you're two tenths slower than the car behind in sector 1 through the S's, you're quick enough through 1 and turn 8 so that it's neutral to turn 11.
19:28:20
Iso lap time to turn 11. Far less tyre energy. That's nice and efficient. Keep it going.
19:29:47
My tyres are really, really hot, mate. It's not easy to be consistent.
19:30:01
Hamilton lap time 40.5, Piastri 40.6, Russell 40.7.
19:31:28
How's the low speed balance, Max? Are you concerned about front-end? Yeah, yeah, it's OK. I'm happy.
19:32:03
I'll flick off back in a little bit.
19:32:13
Two cars behind, pushing very hard in section 1. Four tenths quicker this time. Prepare your last lap to 39.8. Russell 40.7, Piastri 40.6.
19:33:21
Gap 7.3.
19:38:52
Just information at this stage, Max, but Norris has been given three strikes now for track limits. He's on a black and white flag.
19:39:24
And the car behind, now Norris.
19:40:33
OK, across the line, the gap behind was 10.8.
19:43:16
Last lap Lando was two tenths quicker through the S's.
19:43:22
That's the lap time, Delta.
19:43:40
I'll pick up a little bit too much up and stay there like two clicks.
19:45:00
Last lap Lando, 39.7.
19:51:37
Lando, 39.6. Gap is 10.4.
19:52:16
So, just confirm front flap update for the next set. Okay, it's all understeer.
19:53:06
Lando managing less in 16, 17, 18.
19:53:17
You can match it now, so up the pace.
19:53:51
Right hand side tyres struggling.
19:56:40
Lando, last lap 40.1.
19:58:03
So, big struggle. Yeah, understood. Lando also locked up at turn 12, went off track. He's pitting this lap.
19:58:15
So, box and pit confirm. Yeah, thanks to you for that, Max. Box and pit confirm. Box this lap.
19:59:31
Strat 12 in pitlane.
19:59:56
Strat 10. Wide line on the exit. Strat 10.
20:00:16
So, car behind, Leclerc, six seconds. He's on medium, 12 laps old.
20:00:40
So, bring these in nicely, Max. That's important.
20:00:50
And strategy update. Leclerc first in soft, now on medium, as I say. Otherwise, all other drivers that have pitted, Russell, Norris, Hamilton, Piastri, Yuki, all on soft.
20:01:58
Yellow's currently turn 15. We'll keep you posted.
20:02:17
And track is clear.
20:02:21
Norris, pace 38.2.
20:02:31
He's going to have to deal with this headache, Madame St-Fabien. Yeah, he's not managing through the S's.
20:02:39
Well, certainly a lot less than you.
20:03:33
Max, Lando's saving a lot more than you in 16, 17 and 18.
20:04:08
Just a reminder of what we discussed about throttle usage in 16.17.
20:04:59
So lift-off duration was good, Max, but you don't need to come off the pedal that far.
20:05:49
Confirm, Lando. Turn 345.
20:05:55
Oh, I don't hear her. I don't hear you.
20:06:18
That message was Lando pushing 345.
20:06:40
Well, that's 19 laps remaining.
20:08:29
Leclerc 38.6. Lando right behind him.
20:10:42
OK, Leclerc, three and a half tenths faster in sector 1.
20:10:59
Lando complaining about tyres now.
20:11:13
This will be more fragile, so I do think we need to look after it, Max.
20:13:26
15 laps remaining. Gap 6.9.
20:13:46
As I say, this won't be straightforward to the end, so just keep doing what you're doing for the moment.
20:14:01
Front flap update for a potential safety car, please, Max. Yeah, that's fine now. OK.
20:14:51
The sun is shining. I love it.
20:15:03
Leclerc also same lap 38.9. Lando 38.8. Sorry, 39.8.
20:15:25
Suspect Lando calling tyres. Attention for another push.
20:16:46
Lando, 38.8.
20:18:20
Leclerc 38.6, Norris 38.7.
20:19:59
Leclerc 38.3, Norris 38.4.
20:21:30
That's ten laps remaining, Max.
20:21:38
Leclerc 38.5, Lando 38.1.
20:22:11
Just for reference, that lap time was all sector 1 through the early S's and turn 16, 17, 18.
20:23:15
Nine laps remaining. Gap to Leclerc, 6.9. Gap to Lando, 8.7.
20:24:55
Leclerc 38.5, Lando 37.8.
20:25:30
Max, can you press the anti-deploy, please? Anti-deploy. Three button. 150 metres before apex turn 12.
20:26:20
Max, let's have that green button another 50 metres earlier, please.
20:26:24
I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90.
20:26:32
To confirm, we need the green button another 50 metres earlier.
20:28:12
And gap behind 7.5.
20:29:49
OK, so five laps to go. Gap behind nine seconds. That's Lando now, car behind.
20:30:23
There is a train of four cars ahead of you. The first car is Bortoleto. He's six seconds ahead. Pace 40.0.
20:31:28
All laps remaining. Gap 8.6.
20:32:03
Obviously, Max, these four cars are all racing.
20:33:44
Again, take care with these three cars.
20:37:48
Another very impressive weekend, Max. Extremely well done. Enjoy the celebrations. I'll see you next year.
20:37:57
Yeah, well done, mate. Unbelievable weekend. Really, really good. Thank you very much, everyone. And yeah, you can climb back, mate.
20:38:27
Well done, Max. That was proper domination, what to say. You got everything this weekend. Everything. And with some margin. You guys were very courageous all weekend. You didn't take anything for granted and you just kept opening the gap. Well done. Very impressive.
20:38:43
Yeah, I really have to give it up. Let's try and keep this momentum up.
