Ready to check brakes. Yep, ready to check. Out of clips.

OK, formation lap procedure. Mode 12 for the dummy launch. Pit limiter off and a static 5.5 once the car is on the ground.

Carry out, we launch third gear and target plus 12 on the dash if we can by turn 15. A reminder, fairly important, lift and coast after turn 12 into 13. And no more than 50% throttle from turn 13 onwards.

From a virtual P25 on the grid, so around 10 metres before the digital advertising in the pitlane on the right-hand side, you're looking for three long burnouts. Three long burnouts and, as always, the extra ramp rather than coasting into your start position.

Track temperature has dropped around 4 degrees now since the lap sprint. We're getting closer to P2 quality levels now. A couple of degrees away.

That's one minute of 45 max. Tyre update. We currently have Stroll, Sainz and Bottas on the hard tyres.

40 seconds.

No change to the procedure marks.

Last car approach at the back of the grid.

Car behind Leclerc.

And mode 6.

1.41.

Running order, Leclerc, Piastri, Norris, Russell.

1.3

Leclerc on DRF, one second.

1.4

A little more management in safety camber.

1.4.

1.5.

You are managing more than Leclerc in turn 3, Max, so that's good. Just watch turn 9, mid-exit.

1.5.

Engine 11. Engine 11. Position 4. Position 4.

1.6

Still currently quite a bit more management in 2 and 3, Max. It's good.

1.4

Initial indication on which axle might be a limitation, Max.

Mode axles at the moment. Be careful. Keep it there. 1.7 behind.

1.6

1.3.

1.4 behind. That's deficits to Leclerc, all areas of management max.

The push toggle is available at turn 5 if you need it, Max, to stabilise it.

1.4.

Right front is slowly getting a bit hurt. Okay, understood. Do what you can to manage that at this stage then, Max. This corner coming up.

1.5 to Leclerc.

Norris, drop it back now, Max.

1.5

So, Leclerc in place now, 31-0. Leclerc behind, same place.

1.7

So, Piastri is it.

Not many attractive gaps though at this stage, Max, to pit into. There's still quite a train of cars.

OK, let's pick up the pace a little bit, Max. Just reduce your levels of management.

Two seconds.

Time and hold it for now. Understood. Thank you.

Box and pit confirm, Max. Box, pit confirm. Strat 12 in pitlane.

Strat 10. Strat 10.

Okay Max, we are potentially expecting Charles in, so no more than you need at this stage.

Just cover your pace prior to the stop. Quicken the tyres in nicely.

That was lap 16 that you pitted, Max. Lap 16.

OK, thank you.

Leclerc in this lap.

OK, so Leclerc behind three seconds.

Sainz on DRS. 0.5.

So that's Stroll ahead max at 30.6. Last lap.

Leclerc 3.5.

Gap to Leclerc, 4.4.

And that's Yuki ahead who's yet to pit. Last lap was a 31.1.

So 4.4.

Initial balance on this Timex? A little bit of last balance is pretty similar.

Hey mates, that was your first track limit strike. Turn 1, last lap.

Five seconds behind.

That's 25 laps complete.

33.0, still remaining.

5.6

And front wing update when you can, please, Max. Yeah, I think it's okay. I can maybe take two more cracks. Understood. Thank you.

6.4.

Six point six.

I'm over the front wing actually now. Understood, thank you.

7.3

Engine 11. Engine 1-1. Position 1. Position 1.

Gap 7.9.

Strat 9. When you can, Max. Strat 9.

8.2. Next round of stops currently initiated. First car in pitlane, Norris.

Yeah, just wait for them to flip behind.

Gap understeer plus 8.4.

Russell now in pitlane.

Gap 8.8.

OK, Leclerc in the pitlane.

You can check ahead of me if you want.

Leclerc only currently one or maybe two tenths quicker at the moment, Max.

Yeah, last lap one tenth quicker.

Yeah, my right front is dying a bit. Understood, Max.

Engine 13, position 2. Engine 13, position 2.

1-0, Max.

So we are in this lap, Max. Box and pit confirm this lap. Box, pit confirm. Front wing update.

Maybe two clicks more. Understood.

Strat 12 in pitlane.

Strat 9. Strat 9.

That's a 15 laps to the end. Gap 5.5.

Tyre offset eight laps.

Darts is pushing a lot. Could we do something there or not? Stand by. Middlesin was 27 laps, as I say, 15 remaining.

5.7.

Display 3, position 7.

That's for the downshifts, Max.

Gap 6.9 and 13 laps remaining.

7.5

7.9

Yeah, it's freezing. Understood.

Strat 14.

10 laps including this one, Max.

Okay, so first blue flags ahead will be for Magnussen.

Keep eking out the gap to Leclerc-Maxx, just gives us options towards the end.

Okay, mission A complete. Three more laps.

This is the last lap, Max.

All missions complete. What a year. What a month, really.

Wow, another unbelievable race, guys. Very lovely. And we did it, GP. Mission A.

Yeah, Max, you have been absolutely mighty this year. Nineteen victories. You've led over a thousand laps. You've smashed it out the park. It has been an absolute privilege watching you drive this car that's been built by a team of brilliant people and we're all incredibly, incredibly proud of you and it's a very, very special in-lap, so take it in, enjoy every moment and enjoy this last bit of RB19.

Yeah, well, what a day, Christian. I mean, what an unbelievable year. So let's say thank you to everyone for the performance and everyone to build a car like this. And it's been really good to drive, so thank you very much.

I also want to say a quick thank you to Fran Storst. He had a lot of us under his wings and this was his last race. So I want to thank him for all his passion and commitment to Red Bull, especially with his three-wheels and off the tarmac. I think he did a very good job and I just wanted to say a quick thank you for that. I'm retarded, Franz, but I hope to see you in the paddock one day again.

Max, feel free to stay out on the grid for one last dance. Max, I'm so proud of you, my dear. Unbelievable. You've driven 1,000 laps. 19 wins, that's great.

Who would have thought that?

I have no idea what he said, but it sounded great.

Yeah. I think he said he's very, very proud. Well done, mate.
