00:00The start of 2025 definitely wasn't what we expected.

00:07When you look at the championship and the position we're in,

00:09it really goes to show what a massive team effort it's been from the start of the year.

00:13Mentally, it was not easy when you're a reigning champion.

00:16We learned a lot from the first three races,

00:18learned about the car, learned about our strengths, our weakness.

00:22We should just continue this momentum for the final race of the year.

00:26Just deliver everything we have and push it all.

00:29It's a big team effort, the sister car on Car 6, third in the Drivers' Championship.

00:33Our task on Car 5 will be to try to help them.

00:36You know, you never know, everything can always happen.

00:51The good news is our car seems to be very good over a long duration on the tires,

00:55so we're going to be very cautious, just watch how it all plays out.

00:58and then start to work our way forward as all these tires start to wear out.

01:08You know, underneath the starting position, starting last,

01:10but trying to save my tires in the beginning to attack at the end,

01:13and that worked out pretty well each time.

01:15We managed to get back to, I think, to P10.

01:17In a couple of hours the sun will set and conditions might change a bit.

01:22So fast so good we're running in the top three.

01:23Tire deck is quite high, so we need to manage the tires and try to manage the tires as much as we can,

01:29and then using all the power we have.

01:30Second scene was quite difficult with a safety car restart on cold hard tires,

01:35going from day to night to transition to the medium tires, who can use them the best.

01:39And this we will just find out about now.

01:41tires as much as we can and then using all the power we have.

01:46Second scene was quite difficult with a safety car restart on cold hard tires going from day

01:50to night to transition to the medium tires who can use them the best and this we will

01:54just find out about now.

02:05What a season, I mean with Le Mans and now world champion, I mean it's a dream, it's a

02:10dream come true and this is why I came here, it's why I joined this team, it's why I came

02:13back to Porsche, Manti has proven they are the class of the world, I mean I think they are

02:18the best team in this paddock and it's an honor and a privilege to drive their car.

02:23Yeah, tough race, tough end of the championship, tough end of the program, we are fighting

02:28for both titles today and we come home with none of them, we executed the race, the

02:34championship I think well once again, we can be proud of what we achieved in that last three

02:38years, won a world title and fought for Le Mans victory.

02:43Now it's time for a reset and see what we're going to do but yeah, I'm sure we'll be back.
