Colapinto pit radio - I know it's the last race this year we'll have together. We talked about it, we can have a good race. We can enjoy this one. 58 laps, enjoy., It's been a pleasure. Enjoy the 58 laps.

Colapinto - Ok, yup, thank you mate.

Probably about the only chance of some action in this race, in like god knows how many years of coming here I think of only 2 things. Alonso stuck behind Petrov for a million laps losing his title chances to Vettel and obviously 2021 and neither of those had anything to do with worthwhile racing!

Least we've got a few guys out of position who can fly past all the slow cars down the long straight

 

[Flibster]

Norris, Piastri, Sainz, Verstappen, Gasly, Hulkenberg, Botttas, Perez, Tsunoda, Lawson, Magnussen, Zhou, Doohan, Albon, Leclerc, Colapinto on new mediums

Russell, Alonso, Stroll on used mediums

Hamilton on new hards.
