OK, radio check. Yes, loud and clear. Yeah, likewise.

Okay, five and a half minutes until the start of formation lap.

Pit limiter on. Remember the brakes have to be far up and the bike won't find once on the ground. Expect a wheel spin on your practice start. You know the drill for formation lap. Nice bit of lift in coast. Keep the boost under control into 14. Park throttle out to 16.

What do you think of taking recharge off, like yesterday, from 9 to 12?

Stand by, Checo. I'll get ready.

Yeah, Checo, we're having a little look. Obviously, plan to what pace we get to do, what the cars around us are doing also, but yeah, we'll get back to you. Okay, magenta pit entry line, five long burnouts, five long burnouts. There should be about 35 seconds of stationary time.

Ok, so overtake is available. Overtake is available on the formation lap. If you get a chance to get speed up on that 1-12, yeah, feel free to click.

Okay, get off the line and then it's all about keeping things under control. Mid-corner, avoid those, avoid those extra slips.

OK, Checo, Sir. Hamilton on the hard, Joe Piastri on the hard in 17th and 18th, Stroll and Tsunoda on the soft 19th and 20th, everyone else on medium. Just under two minutes now.

Max doing 38.3.

Flap update when you can. Flap update.

My engines are out of boost. It's not that they belong free.

So 39.0 for Leclerc. Gap 13.7.

OK, we'd recommend torque 2, torque 2 and then red button for turn 1 and turn 14.

Leclerc is boxing.

Are you currently race leader?

Well, it's a gap behind.

Stroll with the car behind at 7.6. Leclerc 9.4.

Where is the box?

Max Cumberley P7. He had a five second penalty at his pitstop.

So you've got Russell doing 38.7, Max doing 38.6 his last lap.

Engine seven, position three, minus one. So toggle the engine rotary. Engine seven, position three, minus one.

We have the phase behind QV abated.

Just completed our laps. Russell doing 37.9, Max 37.9.

Got Stroll doing a 39.0. Leclerc's first lap, 39.2.

It's going faster this lap, so a bit of warm-up there. And then Sainz 39.4.

I'm going to B-Bal 6 for now, B-Bal 6. So Gasly and Piastri stay down.

It's a rear, man. Rear is stepping out. Deathmatch. Back up on the deathmatch.

Recommend this mid 3. This mid 3.

I think about torque 9 or torque 10 even.

Mode 6.

0.7. He does not have DRS.

So that'll be 40 laps complete, 10 laps remaining.

He's starting to drop back to you.

0.7, he does not have DRS.

Think about torque, torque 10 if you need it.

OK, he's at 1.5. Max at three seconds.

Just need to make sure he doesn't get DRS.

Seven laps to go.

Point 8. Two laps to go.

OK, last lap. Max is going to come and help you. Mode 6, mode 6. Max is going to come and give you a bit of the circulation.

Last lap. That clear is good.

Leclerc at point 8. Leclerc overtake.

I've just got to press and hold.

Ah, fuck, I wasn't expecting him. I was the first one to do that. Ah, fuck!

P3. Well done Checo, that's a great podium and that gives you P2 in a championship. You drive a great race from the back of the grid.

Yeah, good effort guys. We were a bit too slow on the straight there. Well done and good help there from Max in the end. Let's go B-Charge on, B-Charge on, and then fail 84 when you can. Hey, P2 in the championship buddy. That's more important too.

Yeah, it's been a tough year, but in the end, yeah, I think we grew up a lot after this season. So, yeah, well done. Well done to the whole team. It's been an incredible year and nice to get that 1-2 in the championship. Yeah, well done, mate. There you go.

Get going, stick each other. Aye-aye. There's a thousand pretty women.

I do have a ball back on.

OK, finishing order, Max Leclerc, yourself, Ocon, Stroll, Sainz, Hamilton, Russell, Alonso, Piastri.

Yeah, you really did a good job there, Checo. I mean, coming from the back of the grid, with that downforce level as well, was really, really super drive. So second in the championship. Well done.

Yeah, thanks to the whole team. Thanks to everyone. Let's keep it up, guys. Good year. Okay, there are yellows ahead. Yellows ahead.

You are into the pitlane.

And then you can leave it in P1. You'll then be taken for a nice little drive around the track again.

Will you go into the pitlane? Into the pitlane. Into the pitlane and leave MP1.
