Radio check.

Radio is allowed. Track temp has dropped another 2 degrees since laps to grid. It's about 34 degrees now. I think let's add a smidge. Let's go plus 0.3. I think we've got the tools to close if needed. Copy that.

So wind, just looking at the flag up there, it looks like it's the same strength, same speed as it was for the laps to grid there. So you'll just be picking up that headwind as you come through turn 9.

This is five minutes to formation lap.

Do you want to go to entry for free?

That's three minutes.

Everyone's on medium all the way to P13. Stroll hard.

Sainz was going hard.

Two minutes.

90 seconds, so fire up.

No transcript available

I will have to pick him as I want.

One minute.

Forty-five seconds.

30 seconds, so 5.5.

Fifteen seconds.

Five.

Clutch position on target.

Reminder, Strat 14 until the middle of the straight.

And again, Strat 14 until the middle of the next straight.

Keep working the tyres. Doing a good job so far.

So it'll be coasting from the overhead bridge between 14 and 15.

And then it's three burnouts at the gantry over the pitlane.

Final burnout at P9 Perez.

Final car approaching the back of the grid.

Norris ahead 0.5, Tsunoda behind 0.7.

Norris ahead 0.7, Tsunoda behind 0.9. Here we go, 13.

Affirm, go straight 30.

So we're happy with this management level.

DRS enabled.

Gap ahead 0.6, behind 0.7 to Tsunoda.

Still on target. Pace does look fast.

Gap ahead 0.5. Gap 0.3, Norris.

Gap one second to Norris.

He's 0.2 behind Piastri.

Piastri ahead 0.9, Tsunoda behind 0.9.

I have no grip.

The radio is very poor. Repeat. Oh, I've tied my hands! Very good, very good.

So gap ahead 0.5 to Piastri.

So Piastri has 0.9 ahead of him to Norris.

Gap 0.5.

Just starting to see high metrics. Turn 15, turn 3.

Gap ahead 0.7.

Green 3, position 2. Gap ahead 0.5.

Gap here at 0.6. He's just floating inside Norris' DRS window.

I need to know his gap to the car ahead.

So, gap ahead of Piastri now 1.1 this lap. It's the biggest it's been yet.

So Piastri will not have DRS.

Gap ahead of Piastri now 1.5.

Gap ahead 0.5.

Be careful ahead of Piastri, this lap 1.6.

No transcript available

Gap ahead of Piastri now 1.9, just starting lap 10.

Gap ahead 0.4.

That's a 7-speed.

Nice job, mate. So 2.4 ahead to Norris.

Norris, last lap 30.9.

He has started to drop a bit on this tyre. We've been doing a good job with the tyre management.

Gap behind. 1.3. 1.1. He will have DRS.

Gap at 1.2 behind.

Gap to Norris, 2.2 ahead.

So gap behind 0.9. The turn 3 management looks very good, paying back at turn 5 for you.

Gap ahead two seconds behind 1.5.

So we'll start closing down that gap to Norris now. Gap ahead 2.3, behind 1.2.

The front tyre isn't looking the best. It's so quiet, it's holding on.

So we'll go strat 7 to bring the pack up. Alonso has pitted, so we're just keeping our armpit windows.

Piastri behind has just pitted.

So, happy to be using these tyres now. Let's close that gap down to Norris. 2.1 ahead.

So let's drop the management and we think we pull back the entry of turn 9 for a faster apex.

So, box, box, box, box.

So just be careful of the lines in the tunnel.

We'll be close on exit with Piastri and Alonso. Overtake is available. Piastri turn 2, so we're clear.

So, Sargent car ahead 1.2, Norris behind at 0.6.

Gap ahead 0.9, Norris behind 0.4.

Strat 13 available to avoid derates.

Gap ahead. 1.4 to Albon, behind 1.8.

Gap 1.1 to Albon.

So, gap to Albon.4 behind two seconds. Once we're through Albon, let's introduce that management again.

Gap ahead to Valtteri, 2.7.

So gap ahead two seconds. We're happy now what you're doing on tyre management. That all looks good. So Verstappen's just pitted. He is five seconds ahead. I've got Leclerc quite yet to pit.

Limineaux, turn 9, base lap.

We're very happy at that level. Maybe a little bit of margin in there for you to push.

So Leclerc about to exit the pits just ahead of Valtteri. Gap one second.

So Valtteri will have DRS.

Gap 0.7 to the left.

You still need to make it to the end of this stint and race.

Gap ahead 1.3.

Gap ahead 1.6 to Leclerc. You've got Norris behind at two seconds now.

And we are currently doing more management than the cars ahead and behind.

Gap ahead 1.9 to Norris behind 1.7. Norris is pushing more in turn 3 than ourselves.

Gap ahead 1.7, behind 1.7.

Gap ahead to Leclerc 1.9. He's getting DRS off of Sainz. Norris behind 1.6.

Gap to Sainz, 1.8.

Gap ahead 1.2, behind 1.2.

So, George, currently plan B, target minus three.

Gap ahead to Leclerc. Two seconds. So with that updated target, we can reduce some of these margins now at turn 9.

I think the way I was driving was probably the quickest for a lap. Copy.

Gap ahead two seconds.

Yeah, just do what you need to do for the tyres. Obviously, fastest lap is what we are looking for.

Gap ahead two seconds, now 1.8. Behind Tunares, 2.3.

Gap ahead 2 seconds, behind 2.5.

Gap ahead 1.9, behind 2.8.

Gap ahead of 1.8.

Gap ahead of 1.7, behind three seconds.

This is really good stuff, mate. We are happy with where you are on these tyres and the management you're doing.

Up ahead 1.6, behind 3.2.

Gap ahead 1.3, behind 3.2.

Gap ahead 1.5, behind 2.8.

George, we suggest a bit more management 15 for a better 16. Give us a tyre update when you can.

Gap ahead 1.8, behind 2.9.

Gap ahead of 1.6, behind 2.8.

Gap ahead 1.7, behind 2.9.

And if you want, we have Strat 12 available, just as a reminder.

Gap ahead 1.8.

Gap ahead 2.1. Gap behind 2.3. Let's just keep that there or extend the gap to Norris.

2.3, behind 2.3.

Gap ahead 2.2, behind 2.7.

Gap ahead 2.1. Behind 2.9. If you just update me on your pushing level.

Unpush it. I hope.

How did he get me into gap behind when it's below 2?

Okay, copy that. Gap ahead 2.1.

So, currently target minus four.

So Norris, car behind, just pitted. Let's close that gap to Leclerc. Currently 1.9, 1.8.

Be sure we can make the one-stop work. We've got a long way to go. It's 24 to go into this lap.

So we'll just go flat out for this lap. 1.8 ahead. Give me a flap adjust if you need one.

Box, box, box, box.

So this will be outlap critical.

Out, overtake available. Norris, turn 1. Close with Norris on exit. You will be ahead.

Norris at 1.2.

Norris has DRS. 0.6. Gap ahead one second to Stroll.

Gap 0.8 ahead, 0.7 behind.

Leclerc in the pitlane.

So Stroll's got 1.1 seconds to Leclerc.

Gap one second, you have DRS.

So we've got 22 laps remaining. The previous stint was 20 laps on that hard.

Serena, how is plan B?

Yeah, I'll get you that feedback as soon as I've got it.

Gap ahead 1.3. Stroll 1.9 behind.

Gap ahead 1 second. Now Norris car behind 2.5.

It's a gap of one second.

Gap ahead 0.6.

Gap ahead now to Leclerc. 1.7. First set of hards was a rear left limitation but 75% remaining.

That looked very clean.

Repeat. How is Lewis getting on?

Yeah, he's doing a good job at the moment. Having a fight of his own.

But what does that mean? How are we doing in the championship? Are we good?

No transcript available

All we can do is the best race that we can do. We're fine at the moment. Gap ahead two seconds to Leclerc.

Gap ahead 2.3.

Turn 16 or turn 3 more forward.

Of the two corners, we would reduce the management turn 3 first. We're happy where we are at the moment. Gap ahead 2.6.

And now Norris car behind three and a half seconds.

So, currently we're doing about 12k more management through turn 3 than Leclerc and Norris.

Give me an instruction.

So, George, we will reduce some of that management turn 3.

Countdown on pit road.

15 laps remaining.

14 laps remaining. Start closing that gap down to Leclerc. Currently 3.2.

We've got Perez who's just pitted onto a new set of hards, currently five seconds behind us, behind Norris.

Gap ahead 2.9.

Gap ahead 2.8.

It's pit 4, no danger, Norris, go for it.

Gap behind to Norris is 4.3.

Gap ahead 2.9.

Doing a great job here.

10 laps remaining. Car behind now Perez, 3.4.4.

So, gap ahead now three seconds. Just keep driving the fastest laps you can.

And we suggest trying to save the rears a bit more under braking at turn 6, that peak.

So eight laps remaining, which is everything we can to keep Perez behind, currently 3.3.

So Perez, car behind 3.2. He does have a five second penalty, but he must not finish in front of us for the championship positions.

Gap ahead 3.2.

Gap behind 1.4.

Gap behind 1.4.

Gap 1.2.

And five laps remaining. Gap 0.9.

So, gap 0.4. Just a reminder, Perez does have that five-second penalty.

So, four laps remaining. Just stick within five seconds of Perez. Gap 1.1.

So we've had one lap deleted.

Gap to the cone for reference.

Five seconds to Leclerc.

So gap ahead of 1.5. So we just stay within that five seconds. That's all we need.

Three laps remaining. Gap 1.9.

Gap to Leclerc.

Five and a half.

Two laps remaining. Gap 2.4.

OK. Strat 5. Strat 5.

So, last lap. Got three seconds ahead. Overtake available.

So, overtake exit 7, exit 14.

So, Leclerc car ahead 2.6.

Gap to Perez, 3.8.

Gap. Four seconds currently.

Yeah, good job, mate. Well done. Oh my goodness gracious. Well done. That was tough. I wasn't able to compensate the whole race. Go on, Toto. Well done. That was hot. That was hot.

And I didn't even tell you any jokes. Well done, everybody. It's been a very tough season, but really happy to finish it off as we did. Let's go into next year. Better things to come. Better things to come. Good job, mate. Well done. We had some highs. We'll go strat 5, green 10, position 13.

We've had some highs and some lows but...

We'll move on to next year. That's the Formula 1 roller coaster for you. Oh yeah. Looking forward to next year. Oh yeah. Bring it on. Oh yeah.

So if we just drop to the back and let everyone else go past us, we'll be coming around onto the grid. No doughnuts.

I'm hungry though, mate. So am I.

Yeah, copy. No donuts.

We'll see you up there on that podium.

It's been a while. Oh, yeah.

Let's enjoy this off-season, everybody. Even though it's been a tough one, I really, really enjoyed working with you all. Such good spirit within this team. And we're on the path back to the top. Come on, guys.

Yeah, thanks for that, George. Fantastic drive.

George, you made 2,500 people happy.

Oh, he's about to tell me that was my bonus 2,500. But absolutely, that's what we're here for. That's mortgages, tuition fees, kitchens, it's all of that. Absolutely. Absolutely. I'm proud of you, proud of this team. Going to the grid. Are you sure no donuts? I'm going to be the only one who's not.
