Valtteri Bottas
19:53:16
We've got just under seven minutes.
19:54:11
Six minutes to go.
19:55:02
Over five minutes to go. We're going to need...
19:55:03
We're going to need tyre position.
19:55:10
We'll go pitlane. Speed limiter on.
19:55:13
Start from the grid. We'll keep the pitlane speed limiter enabled until crossing.
19:55:16
Still crossing start line.
19:55:18
And then, on the formation lap, let's work.
19:55:20
Let's work the tyres, try to keep the temperature in the tyres, get the carcasses up.
19:55:23
We would like to do four burnouts.
19:55:25
No more burnouts until told otherwise as we...
19:55:26
Hold otherwise as we approach the grid.
19:55:28
Approach the grid, so four burnouts.
19:55:31
And we're happy with the first gear start.
19:55:56
Valtteri, are you happy with shape?
19:55:59
Shape four. Would you like shape five?
19:56:02
I'll do a safe pass.
19:56:23
Alright, just under four minutes to go.
19:56:29
So, still no...
19:56:31
No large right.
19:56:32
Large right expected.
19:56:33
Expected. So now I have your right. Expected. Conditions are going to...
19:56:34
Expected conditions are going to stay similar to this.
19:56:36
To this, the wind...
19:56:38
It's reduced a little.
19:56:39
Chance of a lap for the grid.
19:56:40
This is the lap for the grid. It's still a tailwind into turn 10.
19:56:42
Headed to turn 10 for the intensity drop slightly.
19:56:43
Intensity dropped slightly.
19:56:45
But we'll keep you posted Albert.
19:57:10
All right, so the tyres are in.
19:57:11
Tyres are in. We're not the only car.
19:57:13
So we've got Norris in the lead.
19:57:14
So we got Norris and Piastri on Inter-Hulkenberg.
19:57:17
After Bortoleto and Sainz.
19:57:18
Bortoleto and Sainz on inter.
19:57:20
The cars immediately ahead of us are on soft.
19:57:23
So that's a long zone out.
19:57:26
And then there are a couple of medium runners, Linblad, Colapinto, Lawson.
19:57:29
Colapinto, Lawson, Gasly.
19:57:40
And we need a P-U-8.
19:57:42
Position 5, P1.
19:58:13
Let's go pitlane speed limiter on.
19:58:13
And then we'll go to K2 and a first gear start.
19:58:16
All right, buddy, let's race.
19:58:18
It's a race start. Could be interesting for us.
19:58:19
So let's see what we get.
19:58:21
We'll stay in touch.
19:58:22
Let's see what we get out of today.
19:59:16
Sergio, also.
19:59:40
30 seconds.
20:02:32
Approach the grid. Reminder, we'd like four burnouts.
20:02:59
And a reminder, K2 from start.
20:03:31
OK, there's going to be an extra formation lap, there's going to be an extra formation lap.
20:03:34
Formation lap submitted. Extra formation lap.
20:03:36
So, let's go pitlane speed limiter on.
20:03:40
I'm going to upload information. Thank you.
20:03:46
That's good for us.
20:03:50
Yeah, so there's a stationary car ahead of you on the left-hand side. It's Litblad.
20:04:06
Let's try and work the tyres on this formation lap and we'll repeat the procedures.
20:04:14
Cool Leclerc. We need to cool Leclerc.
20:04:23
Are you happy still with the tyre selection?
20:04:26
Yep. Directed.
20:05:39
All right, so it'll just be exercise caution approaching.
20:05:41
Approach to the grid as you still carve.
20:05:43
Car a bit hunched back.
20:05:49
And stay right where you could slot.
20:05:50
We can't.
20:05:52
And then as we approach the grid...
20:05:54
We would like two birds with one stone.
20:05:55
We would like two burnouts.
20:06:00
So watch out for lit bladder on the left side of the grid.
20:06:08
Double yellow.
20:06:09
We'll do two per now.
20:06:24
Okay, two for the start.
20:06:34
I think the race will start as normal now.
20:06:56
Okay, we have another extra formation lap, so let's go pitlane. Speed limiter on.
20:07:02
Let's go back to mode formation.
20:07:25
OK, Valtteri, and we'll repeat the question as you go.
20:07:29
I'm happy with the tyre selection.
20:07:33
Yes, 100%. OK.
20:07:34
I proceed.
20:07:40
If we could go fail alpha, 4-7 on.
20:07:43
On. Fail alpha 47.0. On.
20:07:53
Thank you. And as before, let's do some lift-off for temperature for that.
20:07:57
Temperature. Work the tyres where you can.
20:09:00
Okay, Valkyrie. So again, let's do two or three burnouts as we approach the grid. Reminder, we're starting at 320.
20:09:05
Binder, we're starting 321 on the left-hand side.
20:09:29
Two or three burnouts.
20:09:31
K2 for the start.
20:11:16
Gap to Sergio ahead 0.4, Albon 0.3 behind. Overtake enabled.
20:12:43
Gap to Albon ahead 1.1.
20:13:23
Might stop this lap. I'll think about it.
20:13:25
OK, we think the track is good for slicks.
20:13:54
Yeah, fuck, at least I almost stick it.
20:13:56
Copy.
20:13:57
Copy. You happy with the front wing?
20:14:00
Clear to heat.
20:14:10
OK, Valtteri, so we're going to box this lap.
20:14:19
Box, box.
20:14:25
Tyre position 2, would you care?
20:14:49
And then we've got shape four.
20:14:50
We've got shape 4 available and strat 6.
20:16:53
All right, let's keep pushing. These tyres are coming up.
20:17:25
That was a 21.6.
20:18:15
Time to gain late entry in mid-corner of turn 13.
20:18:41
Sergio, last lap.
20:18:42
Your last lap was a 20.1.
20:18:44
20.1. Still coming to us, mate.
20:20:02
Roger. We've got entry 7 available. Entry 7.
20:20:08
So we've got margin to push more on turn four.
20:20:55
I've got some time to gain in turn.
20:20:56
Two times again and turn 8, braking for 8.
20:21:25
13, that's minimum speed, 13.
20:21:26
Minimum speed 13.
20:22:03
Russell, the car behind, 2.0.
20:22:05
2.3 seconds back.
20:22:23
The rear is still a bit static.
20:22:26
OK, copy that.
20:22:30
We've got a blue flag for Russell.
20:22:32
We are going to box this lap.
20:22:39
And we want to box this lap.
20:22:51
Box, box.
20:22:52
A big bunch still.
20:23:13
You're driving straight out. You should emerge just in front of me.
20:23:17
Just in front of Colapinto.
20:23:31
Watch out for Polo Pinto on exit.
20:23:40
Bearman, seven seconds.
20:23:50
Feels like it for Lawson.
20:24:32
Try and do the boost if you can to get overtake.
20:25:20
What do we count? Let's go. Fail. Alpha 4-6-0.
20:25:24
46 on, it's alpha 46 on.
20:25:46
Okay, Malmström, when you can, if we can get some feedback on the tyre, please.
20:26:05
Okay, we've got yellow flag at turn 10, Albert, stopped.
20:26:13
Tyres are OK.
20:26:14
OK. City.
20:26:15
50. Similar one. Soft nose.
20:26:19
Copy that.
20:26:30
That is Norris. Gap is 1.3. We'll get a blue flag for him shortly.
20:26:42
We've got a blue flag for Norris.
20:26:44
And then a yellow flag still, turn 10.
20:26:56
Stay yellow where you are.
20:27:10
Gap to Norris ahead 1.6.
20:28:01
I've got a blue flag for Gasly and a 1.0 DRS.
20:28:03
Alfred Gasly and 1.3 seconds behind Gasly.
20:28:05
Gasly. Meribit.
20:28:17
We've got a track surface warning from 10 to 11.
20:28:20
2-11. We don't know the reason. Just keep an eye out.
20:28:25
Yeah, that was a bit of a fair play, but it's off the line.
20:28:31
Copy that.
20:28:50
OK, so now the car behind is Alonso, so let's head down now. Let's keep pushing.
20:30:24
Mate, that was a good lap. Keep it up.
20:31:10
Come in, we need EU8 position.
20:31:11
P.U.8, position 8.
20:31:13
Eight, so P-U-8 position.
20:31:18
Running 18.9.
20:31:19
Line on mediums.
20:31:42
Time to gain ground.
20:31:44
13, entry admitted.
20:32:37
And then we've got entry 11 available for more diff support.
20:34:12
Car behind at 1.0.
20:34:14
0.2 of blue flag for Sainz.
20:34:29
I suggest going one quick rearwards on brake balance.
20:36:34
How's the balance? How's the tyres?
20:36:58
It's still there's limitation. Feels like I'll get wet.
20:37:02
I can put a little more pace, a little more handbrake.
20:37:05
Sorry, sir.
20:37:16
Okay, we've got a blue flag for Norris behind.
20:37:27
Mid 10 available. Mid 10.
20:37:45
Avalanche, we've got a blue flag for Russell and Antonelli immediately behind him.
20:40:04
About true, about...
20:40:05
We've got a blue flag for Verstappen.
20:40:23
I know it's painful, but keep going.
20:40:42
Have you got some time to turn 2?
20:40:43
Turn 2.
20:40:44
Two. Two. Sergio.
20:41:02
No transcript available
20:41:03
The car doesn't really rotate in terms of up-gearing speed.
20:41:28
Valtteri, we've got entry 12 and mid 11 available.
20:41:32
And we have a blue flag for Hamilton behind.
20:42:27
Okay, Valtteri, we've got a blue flag for Leclerc.
20:42:30
1.9 seconds behind Leclerc is Hadjar.
20:42:46
OK, mate, we got slack.
20:42:46
OK, mate, let's go. Looks like for Hadjar...
20:42:48
Hadjar. Behind Hadjar, Esteban Piastri, 2.4 seconds back.
20:43:19
I'm not sure we've got a blue flag for Piastri.
20:44:13
All right, man, let's get back in the rhythm.
20:44:14
Rhythm. Head down. Keep going.
20:44:18
That's the end of every lap. Blue flags is tricky, but fun.
20:44:25
I know it's painful. We do still have bit 11 if you need more diff support.
20:44:32
Yeah, I think it's everything you could give me as well.
20:44:43
I've also got shape five available if you want to try that.
20:48:11
Yellow flag, turn eight. Looks like Russell stopped.
20:48:13
Stopped at rev eight.
20:48:23
Safety car window is open.
20:48:37
Previously...
20:48:46
Roger, we're going to stay out.
20:48:51
Okay, so mode SC as you've done.
20:48:56
The horse stayed out.
20:49:21
Reminder, just stay positive on your delta.
20:49:48
High speed. Sorry.
20:49:49
Sorry. Yes, we have high speeds ahead.
20:50:04
Marshalls on track where you are.
20:50:33
Hey mate, we're going to box this lap.
20:50:37
Eight bucks.
20:51:05
Okay, driving straight out. You'll be clear on exit 1.
20:51:07
Exit one. Line is on.
20:51:46
BSC Intake. BSC Intake.
20:51:47
ESC ending. ESC ending. So back to mode race.
20:52:05
Bortoleto 1.2 ahead.
20:52:21
12 lap hold, mediums.
20:55:20
Okay, 34 laps remaining after this one.
20:57:42
OK, Valtteri, keep it up.
20:57:43
Valtteri, keep it up the last lap a little bit.
20:57:44
Last lap, a little bit of time to gain entry of turn 8.
20:59:04
Time to gain entrance 13.4.
20:59:06
I tried bleeding out the brakes a bit earlier.
21:00:49
Okay, mate, we've got a blue flag for Colapinto.
21:01:12
Blue flag, Colapinto.
21:04:48
Seven laps remaining, including this one.
21:05:38
1.18.7 on the speedometer.
21:05:39
7 on the soft tyre as well.
21:05:51
How's the balance?
21:05:52
The balance, anywhere we can help.
21:05:57
Same, so too much rotation, big car.
21:06:00
Everywhere.
21:06:02
Uh-oh, but I'm backstarting the diffs and everything, so...
21:08:19
Blue flag for Lawson behind.
21:08:20
More Lawson behind and...
21:08:21
Behind. Antonelli is 1.9 behind.
21:08:23
0.9 behind Lawson.
21:08:45
Verstappen, he's 2.5 behind.
21:09:01
VSC, VSC, VSC.
21:09:02
VSC, VSC, so mode SC, mode...
21:09:04
Safety, mode safety car.
21:09:08
Entry is closed.
21:09:10
Let's stick to our delta. Remember, stay just positive on the delta.
21:09:17
OK, Valtteri Rea, situation is we are currently P16.
21:09:21
Sergio has retired with an issue.
21:09:26
We have 22 laps remaining after this one.
21:09:35
Should clear soon.
21:09:45
Okay, VSC ending, so let's go mode race.
21:10:08
We have a blue flag for Verstappen.
21:10:43
Got a blue flag for Hamilton.
21:13:01
Okay, mate, we've got a blue flag for Leclerc.
21:13:04
So we've got Leclerc, Ocon and Hadjar running together.
21:13:07
Together. So Ocon is 1.5 behind now.
21:13:46
Blue flag for Sainz.
21:14:28
Blue slack for Bearman now.
21:17:09
Okay, mate, we've got a blue flag for Piastri, but we'll have...
21:17:12
Piastri, but we'll have a decent gap again.
21:17:13
Nice and gap again. Let's get back into rhythm.
21:17:41
FBSC.
21:17:42
ESC, ESC, mode.
21:17:44
Speed, mode, F-6.
21:17:50
Remember, just stay just positive on your delta.
21:17:54
Safety car window is open.
21:18:08
All right, Valtteri, we're going to box this lap. So box this lap. We have a five second penalty for speeding in the pitlane.
21:18:13
Pitlane. Five second penalty. Box.
21:18:23
I've got the same.
21:18:48
But I didn't speed in the pitlane.
21:18:56
Clear pit exit.
21:19:06
On track at turn 12.
21:19:39
ESC ending.
21:19:40
VSC. I think some VSCs. I think...
21:19:44
Let's go back to mode race.
21:19:56
Blue flag for Piastri.
21:20:15
Okay, Valtrin, we'd like to avoid using the kerbs on exit of turn four. So we'd like to try and avoid using the kerbs on exit of turn four for reliability.
21:20:34
Fifteen laps remaining.
21:22:10
Everybody, slag or Colapinto.
21:22:12
Check for Colapinto.
21:22:15
Antonelli, two seconds back.
21:22:32
Blue flag for Antonelli.
21:23:17
OK, Mike, compared to Stroll, last lap time together...
21:23:20
Full last lap. Time to gain braking.
21:23:20
Time to gain braking for turn 10.
21:24:20
Now we've got blue flag for Verstappen and Hamilton racing.
21:24:23
And Hamilton racing close to...
21:24:23
Racing close together.
21:24:53
Okay, Valtteri Suggest going rearwards on brake balance. One click.
21:26:13
Still got 10 laps remaining, including this one.
21:27:12
OK, we've got a blue flag for Lawson.
21:27:15
And Gasly, race it together.
21:27:15
Gasly, race it together.
21:30:12
It's a good lap. Keep it up.
21:30:46
Got a blue flag for Leclerc.
21:32:38
5 laps remaining.
21:34:04
There's a car behind us. Science gap is...
21:34:06
Sainz gap is just over nine seconds.
21:34:07
Just over nine seconds with full throttle.
21:34:08
Seconds with four laps to go.
21:34:09
Laps to go. That should go whether he'll catch us.
21:34:14
Happy to push on until the end. Keep going.
21:35:10
And you've got shape four.
21:35:12
State four available for turn 10 if you need it.
21:36:30
Two laps remaining.
21:37:04
Time to gain exit of turn 8.
21:37:31
We've got mode TS available for the final lap.
21:37:37
Sector two compared to...
21:37:38
Compared to Sergio's times before.
21:37:48
That would be braking for turn eight.
21:39:09
Okay, Valtteri, that is the chequered flag. Let's go.
21:39:11
Record flag. Let's go mode.
21:39:12
Let's go mode slow.
21:39:14
Mode slow.
21:39:15
Let's cool the car.
21:39:17
Then we can take the pickup.
21:39:23
3.16 for us.
21:39:24
Yes. Plenty of things for us to review.
21:39:28
Yeah, that was a tough one.
21:39:32
Carlos, we'll be right over here in a second.
21:39:33
Thanks.
21:39:34
Almost like something's stalling on the rear door.
21:39:39
10-0.
21:39:40
If I lost that, I had to stop now.
21:39:50
But we'll take a good look and see what we can learn from it.
21:39:53
Learned from it. But you did a good job out there with what you got.
21:39:56
Difficult with all these blue flags.
21:39:58
Thanks. We'll keep pushing, mate. Thank you.
21:40:01
Thank you.
21:40:11
Okay, so the...
21:40:14
I said there might be a debris.
21:40:19
Just staying to the left-hand side.
21:40:22
So the race was won by Antonelli, followed by Hamilton and Verstappen.
21:40:27
Verstappen. And then Leclerc P4. Hadjar.
21:40:30
P5, Colapinto 6.
21:40:31
6th, lost in 7th, Gasly, Sainz.
21:40:33
Gasly, Sainz and Bearman.
21:40:35
Bearman in 8th.
21:40:57
And once you stop...
21:40:59
Stop. End of pitlane.
21:41:00
End of pitlane. Reminder, we can switch the car off and go to 0.
