Valtteri Bottas
00:00:02
Hopefully, where we were, maybe it's about two degrees down from that.
05:05:37
Two degrees down from laps to grid.
05:05:38
That's too good. So no significant change there.
05:05:40
Change there. We have adjusted the front wing for the...
05:05:42
At the front way for the start time.
05:05:44
I haven't done anything for the balance, so as...
05:05:45
Anything for the balance, so as discussed.
05:05:50
The engine is fired up. We need to go pitlane. Speed limiter on.
05:05:53
And then we can do a...
05:05:55
Start from the grid.
05:05:56
From the grid, remember to keep the pitlane speed limiter enabled until you pass the start line and then we can go to mode formation.
05:06:02
Formation. On the formation lap.
05:06:04
Work the tyres. Try and keep the temperatures up.
05:06:05
The temperature is up. If you have an opportunity to do...
05:06:08
Small burnouts if the field bunches up and turns to a
05:06:10
Turn is 2-11-4.
05:06:11
11 or 14.
05:06:12
Number 14, we would take that.
05:06:14
Otherwise, as you approach the grid, come in.
05:06:16
Approach the grid, coming out of the final corner.
05:06:19
More burnouts approaching the grid.
05:06:22
Here in P20 on the right-hand side.
05:06:25
It'll be mode K2 for the start.
05:06:26
K2 for the start, and then we...
05:06:27
For the start. And then we have...
05:06:28
We have boost available until turn one.
05:07:04
If we can press acknowledge twice.
05:07:05
Acknowledged twice.
05:07:06
Twice. Let's press acknowledge twice to clear.
05:07:52
Start feedback, because those drops are a little bit on the deep side, maybe three to four percent.
05:07:55
3-4% too deep.
05:07:56
I'm going to try to be a little bit shallower.
05:08:11
Two minutes to go. So, final reminder, once the...
05:08:13
XC engine is fired up. It'll be pitlane speed limiter on.
05:08:16
And go to mode K2 now.
05:08:19
First gear start from the grid.
05:08:20
From the grid, that'll be mode four main.
05:08:21
And I'll be in mode formation.
05:08:27
Let's keep in touch today. We've got a long race ahead of us.
05:08:28
You're ahead of us. We'll try and help you where we can.
05:08:40
Minute and a half to go.
05:09:23
Medium tyre on the car ahead.
05:09:27
Thank you, Margo Williams.
05:09:33
Skid maneuver on.
05:09:35
Medium tyres on the Aston.
05:09:41
30 seconds to go.
05:11:31
I'm happy to work the rear tyres.
05:12:43
Let's try to cool the...
05:12:44
Try to cool the P if we can.
05:12:55
All right, start feedback. We were about...
05:12:56
Start feedback. We were about seven percent.
05:12:58
15.0 for the start.
05:13:05
I have to remind her as we approach the grid.
05:13:08
We would like four burnouts.
05:13:49
K2 for the start.
05:13:56
Last car is on the grid.
05:14:55
Never mind. Go, boat, race.
05:16:58
I've got mode FW for overtake.
05:17:41
Control is 0.7.
05:19:19
Don't worry about you, some tyres are coming up.
05:19:21
Take a couple more laps so they stabilise.
05:20:57
All right, so Sergio's last lap was a 37.9.
05:21:01
Not before that. You guys were doing similar times.
05:22:34
All right, main clamp to gain is turn 13.
05:22:36
Again, it's turn 13.14 compared to...
05:22:37
13.14 compared to Sergio.
05:22:39
For info, we're the only car on hard at the minute.
05:23:50
Available if you want more deployment down to turn 1.
05:23:54
I'm ahead of you. He's doing 38.5.
05:24:13
Press acknowledge twice.
05:24:14
Acknowledged twice. Press acknowledge twice.
05:25:28
Stabilised. How's the balance?
05:27:31
All right, so Sergio, last lap was at 38.1.
05:27:43
This is OK, but I was just stuck behind these cars there.
05:27:45
They are too fast in episode one.
05:27:47
OK, copy that.
05:27:55
I can't follow them in the SS.
05:27:58
I get close to the chicane, but then they put off me.
05:28:01
Not the best, Victor.
05:28:03
OK, mate, copy that. So you got torque 9 available and then we also have mode X available for more deployment down the front straight.
05:30:47
All right, let's go back to mode.
05:30:48
Back to mode race mode.
05:30:49
Race. Mode race, please.
05:31:38
I'm thinking maybe there's a race and nobody's on the hot tyre.
05:31:41
My tyre doesn't feel great.
05:31:50
Copy that, mate. We're happy to do this.
05:31:52
You need to just try and push on as best you can. No management required.
05:31:56
Yeah, pop it.
05:31:57
Yeah, a little bit. It's just a little frail we're hitting, but yeah.
05:32:30
Could do some Lyco in the chicane, as you have been doing, and maybe turn 11.
05:35:04
Available mid 1.
05:35:07
He was complaining about his front tyres. He's lost it.
05:35:08
Tyres has lost grip.
05:35:22
Right, we're still on plan A, but we're considering options.
05:35:37
We need to change the plan. This is not going to work.
05:35:46
Copy that.
05:36:01
Switch, switch, red, switch.
05:36:02
Switch, red. Switch, red.
05:38:22
All right, we've got entry three available.
05:38:24
Entry available. Entry 3.
05:39:03
So we're switch white.
05:39:04
White. Switch. White.
05:39:07
Right, Stroll and Fernando ahead. They've done 38.8 and 38.
05:39:11
38.6 on that last lap.
05:39:20
Those lap times, consistency is at 38.0 that last lap.
05:39:22
3-8-0 that last lap.
05:40:41
All right, Valtteri, how's the balance?
05:40:52
The rear started to come back a bit now.
05:40:54
I need to come back a bit now.
05:40:55
Wow, that's the least bit of red tape.
05:40:58
No grip. It's just no grip overall this time.
05:41:00
No grip at all this time.
05:41:16
Let's try and manage the exits of turn 11 if we can.
05:42:30
Did you see that? I don't know what happens like that.
05:42:32
I don't know what happened. I lost the gear for a while.
05:42:36
We are checking.
05:42:39
It was like the classic spot or something.
05:42:42
Looking straight. Yes, go.
05:42:43
Yes, copy that, we can see it.
05:43:10
On this tyre, I can tell the stop.
05:44:03
Roger. We are switching blue.
05:44:05
Switch blue.
05:44:27
You know, what was the issue?
05:44:29
That's the issue. We have to understand it.
05:44:39
I think we hit the limiter, but we do not see an upshift.
05:44:41
Do not see an upshift request from the...
05:44:42
Shift request from the wheel.
05:44:44
OK, missed.
05:44:48
So we don't think we have an issue at the minute, but we're still looking at it.
05:45:58
OK, so you should be clear on exit.
05:45:59
Should be clear on pit exits. Let's just watch the line on pit exits.
05:47:23
Car behind is Gasly on 20 laps.
05:47:26
Empty lap, all the mediums.
05:47:46
Cars now are approaching the stop window.
05:47:48
Nope, that nine cars have stopped eight of them.
05:47:49
The Corinthians have stopped eight of them.
05:47:50
Eight of them. Take the hard.
05:48:02
Nico's last lap was a 38.7.
05:48:23
A safety car, safety car.
05:48:26
So, mode safety car.
05:48:28
He's overtaken him. Let's stick to the Delta.
05:48:44
All right, so there's a car off at turn 13.
05:49:23
All right, stay just positive on our delta.
05:49:50
Stay as close to zero as possible on the delta.
05:50:41
That looks hard to obstruct too low.
05:50:59
All right, so we've got a recovery vehicle on track in turn 80.
05:51:55
OK, so the car ahead of us is Antonelli. He's currently 1.0.
05:51:58
What we are awaiting...
05:51:59
Information on when we can overtake.
05:52:01
On when we can overtake the safety car.
05:52:04
Copy. Let's just keep doing what you're doing.
05:52:18
So, most cars have boxed off.
05:52:19
Our tyres have boxed all the Hulkenberg.
05:52:21
Hulkenberg has stayed out.
05:52:21
Stayed out.
05:52:26
Lewis and Hulkenberg now on hard.
05:53:23
All right, so we've still got a recovery vehicle on track at turn 90.
05:53:58
All right, so let's keep trying to work these tyres. Temps are coming down.
05:54:17
We should be able to pass soon, because otherwise I'll be...
05:54:20
Struggle to catch up. Yes.
05:54:21
Yes, we are working on it.
05:54:40
We are in touch with race control.
05:55:39
Let's just keep working those tyres where we can.
05:55:43
I'm waiting for those laps that I get to do.
05:55:45
Flaps that I get to do brakes on them.
05:55:47
I didn't get the tip.
05:55:48
I'm just saving the tyres for now.
05:55:51
So we've got marshals on track to 30.
05:55:54
Brake into 13.
05:55:57
Right, so we need to stay in line behind Antonelli and the safety car going through turn 13-14.
05:56:44
What does race control say, mate?
05:56:46
They're trying to get the... They got a lot of stroke.
05:56:49
They're trying to get the clean.
05:56:51
Cleanup sorted now, so they're trying to get the track.
05:56:52
Trying to get the track cleaned up.
05:56:54
That is their main concern.
05:56:58
Do they pass? Yes, they do.
05:56:59
We don't want to be here at the restart. We are working on that.
05:57:45
OK, so left course again.
05:57:47
And overtake, so we can overtake the safety car now.
05:57:49
50 car now. Still double yellow.
05:57:50
Purple-yellow around the incident.
05:57:54
There are still marshals on track.
05:57:56
On track 13 and 14.
05:58:18
Still yellow at 13 and 14, but not double yellow.
05:59:20
So the safety car is coming around again.
06:00:20
All right, Bates, let's just keep pushing the catch.
06:00:22
Catch up. The safety car will come in this lap.
06:00:33
Field is currently in turn...
06:00:35
He's currently in turn seven.
06:01:26
That's Lando currently in turn 1.
06:01:29
Antonelli has the field.
06:02:21
They haven't helped us there. So Alonso, the car ahead, 13.
06:02:23
Two car ahead at 13 seconds up the road.
06:02:25
The road, Alonso and Stroll.
06:02:27
Boxed twice under the safety car.
06:03:33
All right, so feedback from the B-Dip set is...
06:03:36
More rear limited than expected.
06:03:38
Expected. So let's just manage the rears.
06:03:39
Against the rears. Understood.
06:04:11
So, the Aston's ahead of us in 36th.
06:04:12
He's ahead of us at 37.5 and 37.
06:04:14
37.5 and 37.9.
06:07:12
All right, so Stroll has boxed in.
06:07:13
Stroll has boxed. He's at the box now.
06:07:27
Pardon, that last lap sector one was good compared to sector two.
06:07:29
That was good compared to Sergio.
06:08:12
That is Alonso. Last lap.
06:08:13
Last lap, 37.4.
06:08:51
So we've got 22 laps remaining, 22 laps.
06:08:52
Two laps remaining, 22 laps.
06:09:05
You are seven tenths quicker than.
06:09:06
Seven tenths quicker than Alonso.
06:10:02
OK, Valtteri, it's a just easy...
06:10:04
Gear in turn four and five. Fourth gear.
06:10:06
Four and five. Fourth gear in four and five.
06:10:32
Nine tenths quicker than Alonso that lap.
06:11:22
All right, main time to gain compared to start.
06:11:24
Prentice Sergio is late.
06:11:26
Entry 13 and 14.
06:11:27
Turn seven.
06:12:08
I was lapping in the mid-thirty-sixes on the hard.
06:12:19
Parking is at sector 1.
06:13:17
If we keep doing these lap times, we should catch them.
06:13:18
Catch Alonso in 9th.
06:13:43
To Sergio. Minimum speed 35.
06:13:44
Throttle speed, 5.
06:14:30
I'm not carrying any more speed in those places.
06:14:32
I'm not going to take you in, tyre, sir.
06:14:34
I'm starting too much.
06:14:41
19 laps remaining after this one.
06:14:43
So, yeah, let's just manage as we need to, to get to the end.
06:15:21
Fernando, last lap 37.8.
06:16:32
Turn six, he's lifting five.
06:16:34
He's lifting five metres earlier.
06:16:37
Slightly better exit.
06:16:38
Exit. So think about sacrificing a little bit of time on entry for better exit.
06:20:10
15 laps remaining, 15 laps.
06:20:11
15 laps remaining, 15 laps remaining.
06:20:14
Consistently...
06:20:15
Consistently about six tenths quicker than Alonso.
06:20:41
Time to gain ground to Sergio, turn 8.
06:20:43
Turn 8 and 13.
06:21:23
Sergio's last lap, 36.4.
06:21:25
How's the balance? How's the tyres?
06:21:36
B-Bal offset plus one hundred.
06:21:39
Get up to get the tyres.
06:21:40
Not that I'm talking.
06:21:47
OK, copy that.
06:21:48
That's it.
06:21:52
His last lap was a 37.1.
06:22:40
Okay, so tyre energies are looking low from our side, so we would be happy to...
06:22:45
Pushed on a bit harder.
06:22:48
Speed three available.
06:25:15
6.6. Still looking for time in sector one.
06:25:18
Thirteen and fourteen.
06:26:38
All right, so a lot to the last lap for the third...
06:26:40
Go for the 37.0.
06:26:46
I'm starting to get rid of that by braking.
06:26:47
I can't get rid of that by braking, smoke the rear tyres.
06:29:26
Okay, Rogers, you got the shape four.
06:29:27
Shape 4 available.
06:29:28
Available in shape 4.
06:29:29
P4. So the car behind is Antonelli.
06:29:30
Behind is Antonelli.
06:29:31
Antonelli, two seconds back.
06:29:36
He is the race leader. Behind him is a 12-second gap to the next car.
06:29:39
Second gap to the next car.
06:29:51
Swag. Oh, really?
06:31:04
How about you? We've been looking into the vibrations from our side. We can't...
06:31:06
On our side, we can't see anything.
06:31:07
I don't see anything concerning, but do you, Kimi?
06:31:08
Concerning, but do keep us posted, please.
06:31:31
We've got seven laps remaining.
06:31:35
Piastri 8.4 behind.
06:31:36
Behind, lapping in the 33.5 region.
06:33:01
I forgot Albon in the box now.
06:34:03
We're behind this Piastri, got a blue flag for him.
06:34:05
Leclerc and Russell close together.
06:34:12
Hamilton is 2.7 behind.
06:34:14
And he's got Norris.
06:34:14
And he's got Norris one second behind him.
06:34:23
If there's any chance to pick up overtaking...
06:34:24
Chance to pick up overtake off these guys.
06:34:26
You guys could do that.
06:34:28
There's a seven and a half second gap behind Norris to Gasly.
06:35:49
Four seconds back, he's in a battle with Verstappen.
06:35:51
Verstappen, seven seconds behind him though.
06:35:53
Behind him, though, is Albon.
06:35:54
Albon. Albon did stop again.
06:35:55
Up again. We are ahead of Albon on the right.
06:35:57
Albon on the road.
06:36:07
Be four laps to go after this one.
06:37:23
Okay, so we'll shortly get moves like that.
06:37:24
We'll shortly get Luther Gasly and Verstappen, but Albon...
06:37:26
Verstappen but Albert boxed again, so...
06:37:27
Boxed again, so it's a no-fail.
06:37:28
So, there's no threat from him.
06:37:41
So we have blue flag for Gasly and Verstappen are behind him as before. If there's a chance here, we'll take it.
06:38:11
Three laps remaining.
06:41:24
P.S. We'd like mode P.S.
06:41:25
P.S. This will be the final lap.
06:43:00
All right, Valtteri, that is the chequered flag, chequered flag.
06:43:11
Right. So, boat slow as you've done.
06:43:12
As you've done. All right, tough race, mate.
06:43:14
Mate, that's B19 for us.
06:43:25
Yeah, it could be.
06:43:27
But yes, it's back in place. I don't know.
06:43:28
It's his fucking face. I don't know.
06:43:30
Like yesterday.
06:43:31
Well, just sliding around, then.
06:43:34
Can't carry any more speed with the corners.
06:43:36
With the corners. Full throttle.
06:43:38
Let's have a look where we've got...
06:43:41
Rest of the group will be a bit offside, Fernando Alonso will be too.
06:43:53
Thank you for this weekend.
06:44:08
Verstappen, Lawson in P9, Ocon in P10.
06:44:11
10. Sergio was P17, Fernando Alonso P8.
06:44:21
All right, you can take some pick-up.
06:44:23
So get the tyre pick up and then we will...
06:44:26
I'm into the... at the end of this lap.
06:45:32
Once we've been to the pitlane, a reminder, when we switch the car off, we can go to E.
06:45:35
0-2-E-0.
