12:52:56

Radio check, Stevo. Radio check.

13:02:22

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

13:02:28

We will go for two and a half burnouts, 2.5.

13:04:37

Tyre pressures are OK.

13:08:37

Oh, for Christ's sake!

13:08:45

Repeat at low speed, please, Nico. 8-0 balance. OK, copy that. 8-0 balance. Yeah, understood.

13:09:30

Fair. Take the other straight on CSSC.

13:09:36

Not much I can do about it.

13:12:08

Nico, we took one strike on track limits, turn one. Not this lap, the lap before.

13:14:12

On box, Nico, box.

13:14:20

I'm doing front wing minus two clips.

13:14:26

I'll keep, I think keep is fine too. Okay.

13:15:09

Nico, so we don't want to overpush these tyres, but it would be very good for our race if we can undercut the other guys on soft and no brakes.

13:15:29

And Hamilton was three seconds in front whenever we stopped.

13:15:48

Hamilton's boxing. Albon is boxing.

13:18:28

Okay, Nico, so Verstappen was not backing up the pack, but Alonso was.

13:19:08

And we have undercut up to P9 now.

13:19:55

And driver default delta zero one on when you can. Delta zero one.

13:20:37

We would go exit 8, exit position 8.

13:21:05

And a bit more tyre management. Entry, turn 9. Everywhere else is good.

13:23:37

And Gasly in the pitlane. He's coming out behind us.

13:24:03

We would still take a bit more management entry turn 9. And pace is very good, Nico. For info, Piastri in P2 is lapping 29.2 in the same compound.

13:24:23

And now we have nearly undercut Alonso in P6.

13:24:28

And some feedback on balance when you can, please.

13:24:47

I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90.

13:25:06

Understood. Thanks. Russell, Hadjar, Airman are in the pitlane. Russell should come out front.

13:25:35

And Hadjar is two and a half seconds behind Albon. Everybody put on hard.

13:25:56

Speed exit, it's quite far, we're a little bit over the line. Understood.

13:26:38

And Gabi is in the pitlane. He should come out just behind us.

13:26:42

Thank you. This pilot is aggressive. Only for nines, but see him then. He's not bad.

13:27:06

And we think brake balance plus one to start.

13:28:04

Alonso in the pitlane will be close to him. Probably he's behind him.

13:28:53

And we don't need any more D-rate. Battery is full.

13:31:43

Let's get on the airfield. They haven't stopped yet.

13:31:49

So there are six cars that haven't stopped. Verstappen, Piastri, Ocon, Tsunoda, Lawson, Stroll.

13:32:07

And also Antonelli, two cars in front, has not stopped.

13:32:33

Ocon in the pitlane now.

13:33:00

And Lawson is leading this train. Norris is one and a half second in front of him. Cars are fighting in front.

13:34:03

That's Lawson 2.5 in front on his race start, medium compounds.

13:34:09

Car behind is Alonso and Gabi is right behind him.

13:34:53

And we suggest special three for turn 12 and turn 16. Special three.

13:35:04

That will definitely put my air balance at a stop.

13:36:03

In front of Hamilton are Antonelli and Stroll on the race start mark.

13:36:27

And we suggest state position 7. State 7.

13:38:37

One car behind now is Gabi. We would like to swap cars in turn 6. Albon is two seconds behind.

13:38:47

I'll be behind Albin in two seconds.

13:40:36

Nico, on degs it still looks very much like a one-stop. What's your feeling on tyres?

13:40:50

My heart's at P5. I'm not going to forget that first point.

13:41:13

I think it just won't look good.

13:41:36

So, at the moment Verstappen is still leading the race. He has not stopped yet and we have undercut him.

13:42:05

Direction Nico Verstappen has stopped. He's in P2. Piastri has not stopped. He is leading the race.

13:42:11

And not much action going on on that end of the field at the moment.

13:43:33

Can you repeat, please, Nico? Car behind. Car behind is Ocon. Seven-lap hold hard. Scooter.

13:45:07

And Lawson is very close to our pit window now. He's lapping faster than us.

13:45:27

Lawson is on the six-lap old hard. He has a nine-second gap in front of him.

13:45:38

I think we should be the first to be validated.

13:46:07

And we would need to build a bigger pace delta to Lawson to overtake.

13:46:16

Yeah, but I don't know if the braking is stuck here too. If anything, then it will.

13:47:26

I have to say, out of a normal, it's not going to get better.

13:47:39

Copy, Nico. Right now we would come out just behind Lawson. Lawson on 7 lap. Hold hard.

13:48:27

And Nico, we got our third strike of our track limits, all three in turn one.

13:49:37

Nico, for now, our best race as a team is to stay in front of Ocon. As long as we can stay in front of the Haas, we're doing the best for the team.

13:51:09

Car behind now. Bearman on 17 lap hold hard.

13:51:31

When you can, we suggest exit position 9. Exit 9.

13:52:39

Currently P10 on track. Nico, you're doing a great job.

13:55:13

Car behind is Sainz. He's on 11 lap newer hard.

13:55:24

What is his tablet? Fuck you.

13:55:39

And Hamilton, Tsunoda, Antonelli and Albon all fit medium. Open gear, flap adjust to a medium.

13:57:09

Nico, I know it won't be easy, but it looks like our best race is a one-stop from here. Our best race is staying out.

13:57:43

That's going to look like the start at the end. That's going to do that.

13:58:38

Nico, we need driver default delta 0-0 on delta 0-0. We suggest brake balance plus one for turn 6.

14:00:10

Nico, you're really doing a great job. Right now, Stroll will stop behind us and we'll finish P10 if we can keep this position.

14:00:35

Stroll has yet to stop. He's seven seconds in.

14:01:38

And Alonso, four seconds in front, might try to back everybody up and build a window for Stroll.

14:03:32

Bit more management, turn 9 entry.

14:04:12

Keep behind Sainz's Hamilton on my lap. Hold medium.

14:06:30

I think we will box at the end of this lap for medium.

14:06:39

Fuck. I don't think we should sit it out now.

14:06:59

Let me know about front wing.

14:07:02

Copy. Box.

14:07:14

And SOC 6, Nico, SOC 6, we will come out in free air.

14:09:52

Car in front is Lawson, 22 lap hold hard.

14:10:03

In front of Lawson is Stroll. He's on one-lap hold medium. Thank you.

14:12:44

Good job, Nico. Now Stroll, four seconds in front, is fighting with Albon.

14:12:59

Albon on 12 laps, hold medium.

14:15:17

And when you can, multi-B for position 6. Multi-B for position 6.

14:16:18

And be careful, track limits turn one and laps remaining.

14:19:00

Good job, Nico. Harden runs his Hadjar on 35 lap hold. Harden.

14:20:43

And next is Antonelli, 19 lap on medium.

14:22:11

Six laps remaining.

14:25:07

Tsunoda, 21 lap on medium.

14:25:56

Next is Sainz, 36 lap old hard.

14:29:33

And last lap. Last lap.

14:31:03

Checkered flag and P11, Nico.

14:31:12

Obviously not the results we were hoping for, but still, great job on your part, man. Yeah, what about that? Guys, why don't you listen to me sometimes?

14:31:53

Where did Hamilton finish? Hamilton got up to P8.

14:32:00

And Ocon, P7, Alonso, P6. Go on, champion. Go on, champ. Lando. Lando, champion. Lando, P3. Verstappen, 1. Then Piastri, 2. Lando on the podium. And Leclerc, 4.

14:32:18

Alonso 6, Ocon 7, Hamilton 8, Stroll 9, Bearman 10.

14:33:14

I know this is a tough way to go into the off-season, but I just want to say thanks for the last 24 races. Looking forward to next year.

14:33:27

Yeah, exactly. We'll keep chipping away at it.
