Radio check. Loud and clear, Cessna.

So, last one, guys, for this year. Thanks for all the effort this year. I know it's been a tough old one, but I just want to say huge respect for what you guys do. So, thanks for that. Let's have a good last one and a good winter and go for it again. Thanks, guys.

Just some tyre info. So Stroll is on used C3. He's in T13. Sainz, who is just in front of us, is on new C3. And Bottas, who is just behind Sainz, is also on new C3. The rest of the grid are on new C4.

Copy.

And I'd just say, a reminder about the DRS manual deactivation may be useful.

OK, if we could have a static 5.9 please.

Limiter on. It is good. And good luck.

OK, gap mode RS for the start. Last car is on the grid.

OK, Kev. Sticking to the original plan. Sticking to the original plan.

Mode push when possible.

Stay out, Kev, stay out.

DRS is enabled, Sgt.9 behind.

Sergeant still 0.9. He has DRS.

Sergeant, point six.

Okay, if you are able to push harder through 2 and 3, then we're happy for you to do that.

Sgt.6 behind with DRS.

Box, Kev, box, please confirm. Max, max, max, max.

Remember to reset any switches.

OK, Kev, cars are 22 seconds ahead.

Captain to Sergeant, 21 seconds.

So, if Carl's still out, Albon and Sargeant will both come out behind. It will be tight with Zhou if he's stopped.

Ricciardo has boxed. He will come out in front.

Be careful, still tight with Zhou, Albon and then Sargeant.

OK, Kip, no other cars have stopped.

OK, so we now have Bottas just inside our pitstop window. His last lap, 31.2.

Bottas is currently P15.

OK, and now we have Nico in P14 just on our pitstop window. Nico's last lap 31.5.

That's 10 laps completed.

How are the tyres, Kev?

They're OK, but they're not super strong. Copy.

Suggest shape 3 because we're seeing a little bit of front under rotation. Just a suggestion.

Nico has lost lap 31.8. If he were to stop now, he'd come out about two seconds behind you.

OK, Kev, it's getting lively now. Lots of cars picking up.

Car behind is Nico. He's 3.5 seconds behind.

OK, Kev, you're P18. Nico 2.9 seconds behind. Zhou 7.3 seconds behind. All cars expected to stop soon.

You're likely to gain another three places when all the stops are complete.

Close with Ocon on its exit.

Lance Ocon and Hamilton in front. Nico 1.2 seconds behind.

Suggest diff 22 to try and help stability.

Echo 0.3 behind. Showing 5.5 behind.

Kev, you are P17. Still Zhou, Albon and Sargeant behind.

Tyres are not in a good position. They're already quite a big degradation. Front and rear, both axles. Copy that.

Be tight with Gasly at pit exit. He's got to be in front of you there.

There's 40 laps to go at the end of this one, Kev.

I think we should get off this track a little bit early. I hope that the second C3 is better.

37 laps to go.

Driver default, B72 on, please.

Zhou is 1.4 seconds behind. You're doing a good job of hanging on there, Kev.

Box, care, box, please confirm. Box, box, box, box.

Suggest coming down on E-B. Suggest coming down on E-B. We're going to add front wing 0.3.

OK, Kev, so obviously these tyres have got to go a long way, so do what you can to look after them.

OK, Kev. Reset belts. Adjust up.

OK, Kev, previous lap we had turn 4 track limit infringement.

OK, Sargeant is 21 seconds ahead. His last lap, 30.8. Obviously, at this stage, we don't know if he's about to go to the end or not.

OK, to push a bit harder, turns 2, 3 and 9, Kev.

OK, Kev. Happy with 2-3 last lap. You can maintain around 30.5, that's good.

Sargeant ahead. Last lap's 30.6. Zhou ahead of him 31.9. Not sure if he had a problem.

30.30 laps to go.

OK, Kev, if you could push harder through turn 15, we'd be happy to do that.

For reference, Nico, 15 lap hard, is doing 31.6. Bottas, 28 lap hard, is doing 32.4.

You are 21 seconds behind Sargeant. His last lap 31.0. Zhou ahead of him 30.8. Zhou is just on your pitstop window.

That's Bottas in front of fresh mediums.

OK, Zhou doing 31.0 at the moment.

Albon, P16, 30.6. Nico has found some performances at 30.7 on his 17 lap hearts.

OK, Kev. Car looks like it's getting a little bit loose on entry. Suggest EB3 to try and help that ball brake bounce forwards.

Yeah, I'm also just worried about the front right. Copy that.

OK, Kev, the tyre appearance of the last set was actually OK. Wear was low, no surface damage, so it's all overheating. We're not too concerned about the right front from our side.

OK, Kevin, there's going to be 22 laps left at the end of this one. Zhou is inside our pit window. He's doing 30.9. He'll be fitting a set of mediums if he's going to stop again. Albon is just outside our window. He's doing 30.0, so he's a bit quick.

Sergeant is behind Zhou. He's doing 30.8.

Kevin, if we've got more performance available in turn 9, we're happy for you to use it.

Honest, the rear is under the limit on the exit.

OK, Kev, Zhou has just boxed. He's three and a half seconds behind on fresh mediums and we don't expect Bottas to be boxing again.

It also looks like the Williamson's are trying to go the distance on one stop. Sargeant 17 seconds ahead of you. He's battling with Ricciardo and Gasly who are on fresh tyres behind him.

Yeah, so Sargeant and Albon probably won't be stopping again. There's 18 laps to go at the end of this lap.

That's Zhou with DRS one second behind on his two lap mediums.

Race leader Verstappen is six seconds behind you, doing 29.0.

OK, Kevin, no need for any more lifting post from a tyre or fuel point of view.

So Sargeant has boxed. He's off fresh hearts and he is six seconds behind. There's 15 laps to go.

Verstappen, be boxed so you won't be getting blue flags.

Sergeant 4.7 behind.

Bottas, four seconds in front. He might be starting to struggle on those mediums.

No, Bottas had a slow lap because Albon came out next to him. He's just gone green in sector 2.

Sergeant, 3.3 seconds behind.

OK, you did gain four tenths of Bottas last lap, so maybe he actually is struggling. Sargeant is 2.1.8 seconds behind you.

11 laps to go.

Sgt.9 behind with DRS.

Eight laps to go.

Sergeant 4.2 ahead and is about to pass Bottas. Bottas' last lap, 30.7. Race leader Verstappen is six seconds behind.

Seven laps to go.

Bottas 3.5 ahead, Verstappen 3.3 behind.

Blue flag for Verstappen. Blue flag for Verstappen. Bottas 2.8 in front.

Five more laps. Five more laps.

Four all laps.

Bontas 2.2 ahead.

Go to SOP5 to increase performance.

Three more laps.

Two more laps.

Starting the last timed lap.

OK, careful. Sleeves, jacket, flag.

And a great move of P20. No cars retired from the race.

So, Verstappen won the race. Perez finished 2nd, Leclerc 3rd, Russell 4th, Norris 5th, Piastri 6th, Alonso 7th, Tsunoda 8th, Hamilton 9th and Stroll was 10th. Nico finished 15th behind Albon, just in front of Sargeant.

OK, confusion story. P2 to P1 and then a pause for P0, please.
