Valtteri Bottas
06:50:30
Great. Check. Valtteri, thumbs up. Thank you.
06:54:00
Could I see... Oh, can you tell me the last flats drops that I did? Where did I drop into? Yes, we can try and get some feedback.
06:54:25
All right, those last few drops, we think we could go three to four percent deeper.
06:54:31
Okay, I'll try. With these pedals, it's quite hard to drop a bit deeper.
06:55:15
All right, we've got five minutes to go, Valtteri, so five minutes. So, some reminders, once the engine is fired up, we'll go pitlane speed limiter on, and then we'll do a, go to K2, and then we'll go to pitlane speed limiter off, and then we'll do a, go to K2, and then we'll do a, go to K2, and then we'll do a, go to K2, and then we'll do a, go to K2, and then we'll do a, go to K2, and then we'll do a, go to K2, and then we'll do a, go to K2, and then we'll do a, go to K2, and then we'll do a, go to K2, and then we'll do a, go to K2, and then we'll do a, go to K2, and then we'll do a, go to K2, and then we'll do a, go to K2, and
06:55:44
All right, in terms of tyres, we've got hard tyres on the Astons, Bortoleto, Lindblad, Ocon, Colapinto and Hulkenberg. And then we've got soft for Max and for Hadjar, so Verstappen and Hadjar on soft, everybody else on medium. You can see ahead of you to the right, there's an empty slot there, so Bortoleto is a pitlane start, along with Albon and Norris.
06:56:15
So when we come back around, we will stop still here on the left-hand side of P19. So, yeah, pitlane speed a little after we fire up NK. Pitlane speed until crossing start line and then we'll go into mode formation. On the formation lap, to try and keep the rear carcasses up, we could do some little mini burnouts in turns 6, 11 and 14 if it feels strong. Otherwise, when we get to the back of the grid, coming out of turn 16, let's do four burnouts. And then it will be K2 before the start. We've got boost available, but it's not required.
06:56:55
Flat temp has come down a couple of degrees since we've been here and there's no major change to the wind.
06:58:09
Two minutes to go. So final reminder, once the engine's fired up, pitlane speedometer on, K2, and then at first gear start. So we had a good run in the sprint yesterday, but our fun was cut short, so let's see what we can get today. We'll stay on top of the tyre management and just keep in touch and we'll help you where we can.
07:01:12
Let's try and work the rears where we can.
07:02:42
Alright, you're doing a good job. Let's try and cool the engine if you can.
07:02:52
Formation lap start feedback. We could try to drop 4% deeper if possible.
07:03:23
All right, coming out of 16, we're still happy for four burnouts.
07:03:42
All right, and reminder for K2 before the start.
07:03:49
Last car on the grid.
07:05:34
Verstappen, 0.2 ahead.
07:05:53
That's contact in turn 3. I need you to check on it. My left rear. Copy that. Tyres look OK. Pressure's good. Overtake enabled.
07:07:13
OK, so Strat 3 is working as expected, but if you want more deployment for 7, we've got Strat 5 or 6 available.
07:07:38
So Alonso 0.3 ahead, Hulkenberg 0.4 behind. Alonso last lap 42.3.
07:10:39
All right, we've got entry three available. Entry three.
07:11:01
Good job. Keep in touch with Alonso.
07:12:19
Think about that front left where we can. Got a little bit of underrotation at turn 3 and turn 9.
07:13:57
All right, Alonso, last lap 41.6. Time to gain compared to him. Minimum speed, turn 6.
07:14:24
Nice work. Let's try and pull away now. Car ahead is Hulkenberg.
07:15:37
Okay, Valtteri, how's the balance? How's the tyres?
07:15:55
Still no understeer. No braking. Problems again.
07:17:19
OK, so Sainz the car ahead nine seconds. He's got grainy. His last lap two tenths quicker than you.
07:17:46
All right, so Alonso behind does not have overtake.
07:19:32
All right, mate, you're doing a good job along to the last lap. Three tenths slower.
07:20:15
OK, safety car, safety car. So mode safety car, mode safety car. And let's just stick to the delta.
07:20:52
All right, let's try and stay close to zero on the delta.
07:21:06
We are going to box this lap.
07:22:29
All right, so we're happy in mode safety car. Let's just try and stay close to that Delta. You're doing a good job.
07:22:56
All right, for info, we've got five cars have retired from the race already.
07:23:05
We've got marshals coming on track in turn 2.
07:23:30
All right, let's stay as close to zero as a delta as we can.
07:24:25
That's a double yellow where you are.
07:24:53
All right, so when we get going again, we're gonna have to just think about that front left. That's gonna be the key for us to stay off the graining. We are currently P15. Checo is the car behind. Behind him is Hadjar. All cars now on the hard tyre.
07:25:52
All right, and there's going to be 44 laps remaining after this one. 4-4.
07:26:26
to come in this lap. So let's just make sure we're happy with the tyres.
07:26:34
When we get round to the end of the lap, we'll go to mode race before down that back straight.
07:29:46
All right, Alonso, the car ahead at point four. We have overtake.
07:31:26
All right, so Sainz the car ahead of Hadjar. His last lap was 40.5.
07:31:42
Gap to check behind 0.9.
07:33:07
All right, last lap. You and Checo did identical lap times.
07:34:44
Stay to the left side between 13 and 14 for debris.
07:35:12
Our behind is now Alonso 2.6 behind.
07:36:23
Alright, debris is clear. Checo had a slight issue that looks to be resolved. Gap is now 2.6 to him behind.
07:36:54
Alright, you're doing a good job. Let's keep it up.
07:38:06
OK, tyres have stabilised.
07:39:27
A little bit of time to gain mid-corner 9th and 11th. Hard to check off.
07:39:45
We think you're doing a good job with management. Czech are pushing a bit harder in turn one. We're happy with what you are doing.
07:40:00
Please keep me updated. Apparently, a lot of different lessons. Copy.
07:41:26
All right, a little bit of time to get mid-corner. Turn 16. Check out last lap was a 48.1.
07:43:08
Gap checker behind 1.5. He's pushing harder than you in turn 8.
07:44:45
Gap to Checo behind 1.3.
07:46:25
Okay, so gap to check a 1.2. Strat 5 available. If you want a little bit more to plug in for turn 7.
07:48:04
Okay, Checo had some derating. Gap is now 1.9 behind. You're doing a good job.
07:48:31
For info, safety car window is open.
07:49:45
Alright, with the deployment, Czech was last. That was a 40.5. Alonso behind him doing 39.7.
07:50:11
30 laps remaining. 3-0. 30 laps.
07:50:33
Sorry about that, mate. I wish we could help.
07:51:31
Right, yellow, turn 14. Yellow where you are. It's clear.
07:51:52
There's a gap to checo behind 1.5.
07:53:07
So, gap to checker 1.6. Car ahead is Lindblad.
07:53:54
So, Lynn Blad, last lap 39.8.
07:55:15
Checo, last lap 40.3, wind lap 38.6.
07:56:25
Okay, so Ocon now the car behind 1.9. He is on a new mediums. When he catches up with us, let's try not to lose time with him.
08:00:23
Double yellow where you are. Watch out for Ocon and Colapinto.
08:01:25
All right, so Colapinto ahead on new medium. Gap to checo 2.6. Still two cars haven't boxed yet. Lindblad and Hulkenberg.
08:03:06
So, behind Pacheco is Ocon, who does have damage, so they will be battling. He's two seconds back.
08:04:43
So, Ocon, the car behind, one second back. Checo is 1.9 behind him. In the event of a safety car, how are the tyres, how would the restart be?
08:05:34
Possible debris 7 to 8.
08:06:26
OK, Valtteri Cecco, 1.6 behind. How are the tyres?
08:06:36
Tyres are still all good to me. Re-steeping.
08:06:58
Tyres are all good. I'm ready.
08:08:04
We are at Lindblad ahead of us on 36 lap. All the hearts still going strong.
08:08:29
All right, checker 1.6 behind. We've got strat 6 available. We're not worried about 7, only need advantage in 8.
08:08:59
Which strat is the fastest, in theory, of a lap?
08:11:27
Gap to check behind 1.4. He's got blue flags for Antonelli.
08:11:50
We have blue flags for Antonelli. Checo is right behind Antonelli.
08:14:25
Car behind is Russell. We have a blue flag. 1.2 behind Russell is Checo.
08:15:11
Both you and Checo have overtake.
08:17:14
Car behind is Lin Blad, just out of the pits. We are racing him.
08:18:04
Okay, Lindblad 0.8 behind. He's on the new medium.
08:19:42
OK, car behind is Hamilton. It's 3.8 behind. His last lap was a 36.2.
08:21:21
Right, so Hamilton 1.4 behind.
08:21:41
Three seconds behind Hamilton is Leclerc.
08:22:22
Declared the car behind 1.4.
08:22:41
We have blue flag for Leclerc.
08:22:58
Checo is 18 seconds behind Leclerc.
08:23:27
So the Checo, the car behind, 17 seconds back. We have nine laps remaining.
08:23:56
Did he stop or what's the way, so what's at the back?
08:24:01
So Checo is having some issues.
08:26:21
Okay, Valtteri, so how are the tyres and how much management do you think you're doing?
08:26:31
The tyres are for sure wearing, but no big drama. I'm doing about 0.2 seconds of management. I've dropped quite a bit.
08:26:47
All right, you're doing a good job. Happy to keep doing what you're doing. Still got a 19 second gap behind us.
08:27:46
There's some slight front grating on the left now.
08:27:59
All right, copy that. So it doesn't look worse than what we've seen on other cars towards the end of their stint. Let's just manage it to the end. Still about 17 seconds to Bearman. Bearman would be lapping us.
08:28:16
Behind Bearman is Checo, so Checo is 19 seconds behind us.
08:31:18
Okay, so we've still got an 11-second gap to Bearbrim. He's lapping in the 36.8s.
08:31:45
Because it would be on the last lap, we've got four laps remaining.
08:35:03
OK, Valtteri, two laps remaining. Gap to Bearman is 6.1.
08:36:45
So this is the final lap. Final lap. Bearman 3.1 behind.
08:37:57
All right, Bearman 1.6 behind. Fine Bearman is Gasly three seconds back.
08:38:25
That is the chequered flag for us. P13. Let's go mode slow. Mode slow. Well done, mate.
08:38:35
Hey everyone, I have P13 in our second Grand Prix in F1 in history. That's not bad. Proud of everyone. Good job, good to see the flag. That's down to all the hard work from you. Thank you.
08:38:57
All right. Thank you, mate. That was a well-managed race. Nearly everybody did a one-stop. The race was won by Antonelli, followed by Russell and Hamilton, then Leclerc P4, Bearman P5, Gasly in sixth, Lawson, Hadjar, Sainz, Colapinto running out the top ten, then Hulkenberg 11th, 12th was Lindblad, 13th yourself, Ocon behind, and then Czecho in P15.
