12:55:28
Radio check. Radio check.
12:55:34
Yes, loud and clear. Can you hear me? Yes. OK, Vince, you can go ahead. Radio check, Fernando. Yeah, both loud and clear. Yes, you too.
12:57:30
Ok, Fernando, so top 12 are all medium. Lance P13 hard. We haven't got Albon in P14, we don't know where he is at the moment. And there's two other hard starters, which is Sainz P16 and Bottas P18. The Williams I don't have yet. So basically everyone's medium apart from Lance, Sainz and Bottas who are hard.
12:57:59
Copy.
12:59:23
OK, Fernando Alonso, once Mikey gives you the signal, it will be one bike behind.
12:59:34
Both Williams and medium, so there's only three people on hards.
13:00:31
That was good on target. You can make a bit of space in turn 1 so you can lean on the tyres through 2-3.
13:00:50
Have a small lift before 5 and then good brake.
13:00:57
Verstappen's going slow there now, so you can make a bit of a gap before you accelerate, and then high speed weaving down the straight, and then a 150 metre lift, 4-6.
13:01:29
OK, so you can make a bit of a gap there and then some more high-speed weaving. Just a small 50-metre lift into 9 and then you can lean on the tyres through 9 but avoid oversliding.
13:01:44
We'll have a good break in tonight. Have a good break.
13:02:04
The small left into 12. And then another good brake.
13:02:28
So we will do five burnouts. Five burnouts.
13:02:55
So five burnouts there and then careful with your grid box position.
13:03:13
OK, go to run switch race. One bike point find. Back to neutral and then select first.
13:03:31
Last car on the grid now.
13:03:36
Minus 13.
13:05:16
You can't go to Strat 11. It's free.
13:05:47
Tsunoda 0.5, Gasly 0.7.
13:06:49
DRS is enabled. DRS enabled. Speed 0.7.
13:08:20
Tsunoda, point nine. Gasly, point six.
13:08:48
2.6 at the DRS line there to Tsunoda. Tsunoda managing a bit more in 3. When he can, a bit of lift and coast.
13:09:52
Tsunoda, point seven. Gasly, point seven.
13:11:23
Tsunoda 0.8, Gasly 0.7.
13:12:54
Tsunoda 0.8. Gasly 0.8.
13:15:54
Consider left toggle for turn 5. Left toggle. Tsunoda point 8.
13:16:23
Can I just check aerobalance? Check aerobalance.
13:16:33
Difficult with traffic to know. Seems ok. A little bit understeering maybe.
13:17:29
Serena point nine.
13:17:53
Okay, so Tsunoda will not have DRS, Gasly is 0.9 behind.
13:19:26
Gasly behind has lost DRS. You were 0.9 at the DRS detection.
13:19:38
Copy. Feels like plan B.
13:19:44
Understood. Understood.
13:20:58
Consider torque 9.
13:21:41
Yep, it's a wrap now.
13:21:49
Box, box. Box, box. Box, box. Sure? Yeah. Box opposite Tsunoda. Box opposite Tsunoda.
13:22:36
Okay, mate, so you know the plan. We're on our plan B.
13:22:41
Push now and we'll undercut. Push.
13:22:51
You can go to strat 10.
13:23:51
Could be close with Piastri. I think he will come just ahead. Keep pushing.
13:24:21
OK, you've got loads of energy if you need it. And one click rearward brake moments.
13:25:14
Right toggle is on. Right toggle is on.
13:25:23
Strat 9, Fernando. Strat 9. Could be close with Norris.
13:27:50
Why we run with the battery so long?
13:28:22
Strat 10, Bruno. Strat 10. Full charge.
13:29:52
We can go to strat 11. Piastri, 0.8, 0.9.
13:30:28
So right toggle is on. Right toggle on. Is on.
13:31:51
Okay, Fernando Alonso, everybody's stopped except the people that started on hards and Tsunoda is still out on his medium.
13:32:13
Ahead of Piastri's Bottas on his hard.
13:34:54
Consider yellow button for turn 6. Yellow button, turn 6.
13:35:14
OK, Perez is car behind now, 2.2 seconds back. He's also on hards.
13:37:26
Piastri 0.8, Perez 1. Tsunoda has boxed.
13:37:53
So you and Perez have got DRS.
13:39:23
Perez 0.7 behind. He's got DRS. Sainz has just pitted. He's pitted hard again. So Sainz's same strategy as us. Behind Lance, he is.
13:40:53
We've just lost DRS there. Perez point four.
13:41:57
Perez, point nine, point nine.
13:42:29
Can consider mid 3.
13:43:28
Perez, point nine.
13:43:57
The car behind is Hamilton, also on hards five seconds back. Same pace as us at the moment.
13:45:27
Fernando, for aerobounce, I'd be increasing 0.4%. I'm thinking 0.4 more aerobounced.
13:45:34
Copy.
13:45:47
Even more, I don't know. I can lob some toys. Yeah, copy, yeah, copy. Yellow button off.
13:46:56
I think torque 8 will help places like 13 and 14. Torque 8.
13:48:24
MFB orange. MFB orange. Ignition position 12. MFB orange. Ignition position 12.
13:50:17
Piastri is the same pace as us. Hamilton behind is about 3 tenths quicker. His tyres are three laps newer than ours.
13:51:25
So, Piastri ahead has had two track limit strikes. So that's Piastri, two track limits. Let us know if you see anything.
13:52:55
Turn 1 is a big tailwind there. Turn 1, big tailwind.
13:53:15
Maybe torque 9 is better for entry stability.
13:56:58
Push everything now. Push everything from the tyres.
13:57:49
So we will be boxing this lap. We will be boxing. OK.
13:58:18
And box, box, box, box.
13:58:49
OK mate, we'll be tight with Hamilton.
13:59:05
Take loads of energy if you need it.
13:59:41
We have the slowest car on the straight. By far.
14:02:16
Hamilton does not have DRS. Hamilton does not have DRS. He's 1.1 seconds back.
14:03:44
MFA, MFA blue 22, OK. MFA blue 22, OK.
14:04:04
Okay, that's good. So you did 24 laps on the first hard stint. It's 22 laps on this one.
14:04:14
And you are at aero balance? Yep, confirm. I added 0.6. I added 0.6.
14:05:13
So, Tsunoda could be trying one stop. He's currently 14 seconds ahead. You're catching him one second a lap. There's 18 laps.
14:06:16
Ocon, 1.1. Hold hard tyres.
14:08:12
So, car ahead is Sainz. 14 lap older Hartz. He's got to stop again. Hamilton is 2.2 behind. He's going to pass Ocon now, Hamilton.
14:09:12
HPP button on. HPP button on. 15 laps to go. 1-5. 15 laps to go.
14:13:03
You've got lots of energy if you need.
14:15:09
OK, 11 laps to go, 11 laps to go. Tsunoda's eight and a half seconds ahead.
14:15:38
So, Hamilton's three behind. You've been catching Tsunoda about 0.7, 0.8 a lap.
14:17:05
Tsunoda car ahead. He's 5.9 seconds ahead. He caught in 2.2 last lap because he got passed by Piastri. Hamilton 3.4 back.
14:18:08
Nine more laps. Nine more laps.
14:18:36
Tsunoda, 4.4.
14:19:38
Eight seconds to go. Eight laps to go.
14:21:04
Tsunoda 2.8. Seven laps to go.
14:22:34
Tsunoda, two seconds, six laps to go.
14:24:02
Tsunoda 1.35 to go.
14:24:29
So that was 1.1 at the DRS line, it's 1.2 now to Tsunoda. Hamilton is still 2.9 back.
14:24:51
And 1.1 of the DRS normally.
14:25:32
1.1, 1.1.
14:25:57
OK, you've got DRS. You've got DRS.
14:27:02
Three more laps. Three more laps.
14:27:25
Go for an early press, if you want an early press.
14:28:29
OK, two more laps, two more laps. Tsunoda 1.1 back.
14:28:56
HPP button off.
14:29:57
You can go to strat 10.
14:30:08
This is the last lap. Yeah, good plan. Good plan. This is the last lap.
14:31:28
Upcoming, checker flag, checker flag, well done. P7, hell of a last in there. Go to cool please and nice slow in lap and loads of pick up. Nice start in lap.
14:31:43
MFB blue, override position 14. MFB blue, override position 14.
14:32:03
Yeah, well done guys. What an incredible season we had. Thanks guys, enjoy. Have a good break. We come back stronger next year.
14:32:20
Twelve months ago, we probably only dreamed about being in this position, so congratulations, everyone. Yeah, and to you, maintenance. Well done. We've got you as P4 in the championship drivers. Well done.
14:32:35
Lance, how was the race? Lance, P10.
14:32:45
OK. Yep. So it was Verstappen, Leclerc, Russell, Perez had a penalty, which is why he's dropped back. Norris, Piastri, you, Tsunoda, Hamilton, Lance.
14:33:02
So how many points does Leclerc score? 18.
14:33:09
So, we finished level on points for Leclerc, but we think, countback-wise, you've beaten him. You had more P3 podiums.
14:33:18
OK. Well, that's nice. Well done, guys. I'm happy. Happy with the race. I'm super happy. I'm proud of you. All the season. So we come back stronger next year. It's going to be easier.
14:33:34
It's going to be easier. We don't need to do the seat fit and some accommodations we did the first few months. Everything should be a little bit better. Yeah, exactly. Well done, mate. Just take all the pick up. Loads of pick up now on the way in.
14:34:00
So, I guess I'm not allowed to do any burnouts? Negative, mate.
14:34:07
Actually, I did one in Las Vegas, in Timberland. That's enough.
14:34:41
P0.
