Valtteri Bottas
13:55:29
And then we can do a first...
13:55:31
Gear start reminder is going to be K2.
13:55:33
2 for the start.
13:55:36
Enabled until we cross the start line.
13:55:37
Start line. And then from there, we can...
13:55:38
And from there, we can go to mode formation.
13:55:43
We're trying to keep the temperatures up.
13:55:44
Temperatures up. And then as we approach the grid at the end.
13:55:47
At the end of the lap, we would like four.
13:55:47
Last lap, we would like four burnouts.
13:56:00
All right, in terms of tyres today, all cars.
13:56:03
Cars on medium.
13:56:11
If you want to do some practice...
13:56:12
Let's do some practice flip-flops now, if we can.
13:56:42
Up a couple of degrees since we came to the grid.
13:56:45
That's between 41 and 40.
13:57:00
They are happy with those platforms.
13:57:11
We've got three minutes to go.
13:57:35
Open up slightly, currently 12 APH.
13:57:37
APH tailwind tonight.
13:58:13
Final reminder, once the engine is fired up, it'll be pit-
13:58:14
The engine is fired up. It'll be pitlane speed limiter on.
13:58:17
In mode K2 and approach.
13:58:18
A-2 and a first gear start.
13:58:20
All right, buddy. Good luck today. Let's see what we can do.
13:58:23
I will stay in touch on how the tyres are feeling.
13:59:11
1.0 DRS remaining.
13:59:36
Transmitter off.
13:59:42
30 seconds.
14:02:55
All right, back to start.
14:02:57
Start feedback.
14:02:59
Straight back. Drop was one to two percent deep.
14:03:23
All right, as we approach the back of the grid.
14:03:25
Back in the grid for burnouts.
14:03:45
Car on the grid.
14:04:40
Mode race reminder.
14:05:39
Overtake enabled.
14:05:52
You've got Strat 7 available.
14:08:44
I'm more happy to try and push a bit harder on these.
14:09:09
OK, Sergio, last lap was at 36.9.
14:09:13
I have overtake ahead of you.
14:09:14
Ahead of you. Bearman in the car behind.
14:09:35
And last lap, 37.4.
14:10:21
Maintain minimum speed at turn 6. Suggest using 3rd gear.
14:10:48
So, check. Last lap 37.2.
14:12:00
Vehicle to the car ahead. Bearman behind does have overtake. You have boost available.
14:13:36
We still have a boost available for Bearman behind.
14:14:02
Strat 7 or Strat 8 available with overtake.
14:14:26
And we could go down one step on mid for turn 15.
14:14:31
Time to gain minimum speed 13.
14:15:40
Right, we've got Strat 9.
14:15:41
We've got Strat 9 available.
14:15:42
Available for 15 to 16.
14:16:05
All right, so the Astons behind are doing mid 38s.
14:16:52
Okay, we have entry four available.
14:16:53
Entry 4. Available. Entry 4.
14:17:21
Doing 37.5.
14:17:42
All right, and Bearman and Hulkenberg doing the 37.2.
14:18:30
Speed six available for turn nine.
14:18:31
Disable for turn 9, high speed 6.
14:19:20
All right, how's the balance and how's the tyres?
14:19:30
The balance is not too bad.
14:19:32
Bit of understeer in the chassis.
14:19:35
But tyres are having more deck than I thought, so...
14:19:38
Some science can't be realised.
14:20:08
Copy that. Main concern from our side would be that front left, so let's do what we can to protect that.
14:20:34
Let's try and focus on earlier downshifts. Turn three.
14:22:12
Sergio, last lap, 37.6.
14:22:37
All right, you've got mid two available for 16 and 17, mid two.
14:24:16
Last lap, Sergio's last lap, 37.8.
14:24:17
37.8. We have high speed five...
14:24:19
Available for turn 9, high speed 5.
14:27:05
All right, Valtteri, let's try and keep working these downshifts earlier into turn 90.
14:27:09
Into turn three and six.
14:30:20
Okay, Valtteri, I'd like to focus on downshifts and turns.
14:30:22
Downshifts, turn six.
14:30:24
Car behind is Albon.
14:30:25
Albon, he boxed, he's on a set of huge...
14:30:27
Used mediums.
14:30:45
We've still got high speed 5 available for turn 9.
14:31:31
All right, Sergio's last 30.
14:31:33
37.3.
14:31:35
Bearman struggling with the balance, struggling to overtake him.
14:31:57
We've got...
14:31:59
P-U-9 position 7.
14:31:59
No transcript available
14:32:01
P9, position 7.
14:33:12
He's on a fresh set of hearts.
14:33:13
No transcript available
14:33:14
Decrease management on the...
14:33:16
Lease management on this tyre.
14:33:36
And how's the balance?
14:33:49
This is OK. I'm just struggling with these tyres.
14:34:01
Copy that. And is it both axles or maybe at the front? Question.
14:34:08
See you, good day. Bye, thanks.
14:36:25
We have boost available and...
14:36:26
Available. And Sainz is just...
14:36:27
Sainz has just boxed his...
14:36:28
He's just boxed his...
14:36:29
He's just on the cusp of our pit window.
14:37:47
VSC, VSC.
14:37:49
ESC, ESC, mode.
14:37:51
Mode SC.
14:37:59
Mode SC. Let's try and stick as close to your delta as you can.
14:38:02
Stay as you can. Stay just positive.
14:38:11
VSC ending.
14:38:13
PSC ending. PSC ending.
14:38:13
BSD. Ending.
14:38:24
Staying out.
14:38:26
Braking out. BSC clear.
14:39:05
All right, so Piastri behind on...
14:39:07
Behind on 19, lap all the hards.
14:39:53
So, Gabriel Piastri, 1.6.
14:40:18
All right, we got torque 11 available for turn 9. Torque 11.
14:42:00
Reduced to mediums. He's running 37.
14:42:01
He's running 36.9.
14:42:46
So the car behind is...
14:42:49
That is Leclerc, the race leader.
14:42:56
I've got a blue flag for them.
14:42:57
Blue flag for Leclerc.
14:43:08
And then 2.7 behind Leclerc is Antonelli, and then that's it.
14:43:11
No transcript available
14:43:12
That's all the front runners will see for a little while.
14:43:36
All right, we've got a blue flag now for Antonelli.
14:44:03
There's a car behind, Sergio, 1.3 behind on a part. He benefited from the VSC.
14:44:24
He is erasing Ocon behind, if possible.
14:44:28
We don't want to slow him down.
14:44:32
Yeah, copy.
14:44:48
If possible, to swap with Sergio and defend with him.
14:44:51
Roger, Joe. Descend with Ocon.
14:45:19
Good job on tyres. Let's keep going.
14:47:22
Earlier lift. Try and carry more speed if possible.
14:48:59
We've got blue flag for Leclerc behind.
14:49:01
I'm following Leclerc behind.
14:49:43
Valtteri, how's the balance?
14:49:55
Oh, no. That's not pretty done.
14:49:58
Copy that.
14:50:13
We are switch blue.
14:50:14
Blue. Switch blue available.
14:51:32
Box, box.
14:52:17
Yuki Hadjar just ahead on exit.
14:52:35
All right, Valtteri, so we're happy to push on this tyre until the end.
14:52:39
Time 36.4.
14:55:48
All right, that's a good lap, Valtteri.
14:55:49
Matt Veltri and Sergio up the road is running in the mid 36s.
14:56:10
We have 18 laps remaining after this one.
14:58:39
He's doing 35.8.
14:59:00
But Albert ahead of us is actually two laps down.
14:59:03
Flaps down. So we are currently P19.
14:59:05
P19, Sergio in P18.
15:00:37
All right, so tyre energy is still looking good from our side till the end.
15:01:53
Car window is open.
15:02:15
All right, last lap, three tenths quicker than Sergio up the road.
15:04:06
All right, so we've got a yellow flag in turn nine.
15:04:09
You can stay to the left.
15:04:13
VSC, VSC, VSC, VSC, VSC, VSC.
15:04:15
VSC, VSC, yellow.
15:04:16
Yes, C. It's yellow at 9.
15:04:19
Mode SC, mode safety car.
15:04:24
Just positive on our delta.
15:04:29
It's positive, but as close to zero as possible.
15:04:42
Currently we're staying out of the VSC.
15:05:04
Car is at the pits.
15:05:24
Exit.
15:05:25
Should be behind us.
15:05:27
VSC is ending.
15:05:31
Okay, go back to mode, race. Thank you.
15:05:42
My track is clear.
15:06:08
We've got a blue flag for Hadjar behind.
15:06:32
My next car back is Lawson.
15:06:38
Less than two seconds behind him is Lidblad.
15:06:50
Blue flag for Lawson.
15:06:51
Lost a bit of lint bladder lapping in the 34s.
15:07:03
All right, we've got a blue flag for Lidblad. We do have overtake.
15:07:18
Now we've got a four second gap to Bortoleto.
15:08:46
Hamilton in the mid 34s.
15:09:04
Happy to keep pushing on this tyre.
15:09:38
We have a blue flag for Bortoleto.
15:10:03
All right, car behind is now Albon.
15:10:06
7.8 back.
15:10:20
Set of softs during the VSC.
15:10:22
No transcript available
15:10:23
He's still another lap down compared to us.
15:12:22
35.7.
15:12:24
Run time to gain 9.13.
15:13:59
Antonelli, he's 8.7 back.
15:14:00
Back on a used set of medium tyres.
15:14:01
Use set of mediums.
15:14:43
I'm going to try mode T-S.
15:14:44
That's mode Tango Sierra.
15:15:06
Time to gain minimum speed turn 1.
15:15:09
Turn one. Turn to Sergio.
15:15:54
I'm still happy to push on these tyres till the end.
15:16:19
We can focus on corner exit, turn.
15:16:21
Exit turn 17.
15:17:09
Let's focus on early downshifts into turn 6.
15:18:07
All right, we can go back to mode.
15:18:08
Race when you can.
15:18:24
Five laps remaining.
15:19:04
Safety car, mode safety car.
15:19:55
Box, box.
15:20:41
You are clear on pit exit.
15:20:59
So just reminded to stay positive on our delta.
15:21:22
Turn 15, marshals on track.
15:21:48
The lights on the safety bar.
15:22:27
All right, so that's two times past SC1.
15:22:30
Safety car has picked up the lead.
15:22:32
The leader behind us.
15:22:33
Approaching tango 15.
15:23:21
I'm happy to try and put more heat into these tyres.
15:23:50
Yellow and 15 marshals on track.
15:24:45
All right, so we are catching the queue.
15:24:47
Q. Q is currently it.
15:25:02
I'm still waiting for information on what's going on.
15:25:04
Confirmation of what's going to happen.
15:25:10
If we're allowed to un-lap ourselves, we'll have three laps left.
15:25:16
Leader has two laps remaining after this one.
15:25:33
So I'm still double yellow in 15th.
15:25:39
OK, clear at turn 15.
15:25:58
So we are still standing by for information from race control.
15:26:04
OK, lap cars right now.
15:26:07
Lap car is made now. Overtake.
15:26:29
I think we're in the right position.
15:26:38
So we just need to follow Sergio ahead.
15:27:16
So we're not going to be overtaking Stroll.
15:27:18
Stroll, you need to stay behind Sergio.
15:27:36
Compared to us, it's only a P17 at the minute, Sergio P16.
15:27:54
Safety car will be coming in this lap.
15:28:13
All right, mate, so the safety car will be coming in this lap.
15:28:16
Leclerc has the field before...
15:28:21
Nope, safety car is not coming in this lap. Correction.
15:28:24
Same tyres, not combined.
15:28:26
Tyres not coming in. There are two laps remaining, including this one.
15:30:08
I will commit.
15:30:12
Car will be coming in this lap.
15:30:15
The pack is just nine seconds ahead of Stroll.
15:30:34
Cars will be allowed to push, but it will be the chequered.
15:30:38
Yep.
15:31:04
All right, so we're...
15:31:06
OK, so we're finishing under...
15:31:06
Finishing under safety car conditions.
15:31:09
Patience. There will be no push to the chequered. Stay on track.
15:31:26
All right, that is the checkered flag. We can go mode slow, mode slow.
15:31:31
Sorry about that. At the end of an ever-evolving situation.
15:31:41
All right, guys, it's a time in.
15:31:43
Timing looks a bit messed up. I think we were P17 there at the end.
15:31:50
The race was won by Leclerc, followed by Russell and Hamilton.
15:31:56
P5. Lawson, Lidblad, Bortoleto.
15:31:58
Blood, Bortoleto in eighth, Antonelli in ninth.
15:32:02
Franco Colapinto in 10th.
15:32:44
Anyways, Mike, couldn't finish the race again, still.
15:32:47
Still plenty of things for us to look at.
15:32:49
Look, I'll push you on that first stint.
15:32:51
Thanks for this weekend.
15:32:55
Yeah, thank you everyone for this. Like I said, good to finish, so good job everyone for that.
15:33:01
Yeah, the first thing is pretty tricky with the medium but...
15:33:08
Thank you. Let's keep working.
15:33:20
Alright, so we're boxing this lap.
15:33:30
Oh, I hit her blender.
15:33:34
Follow the total switch-off procedure and go to P0.
