If you read the full report, the "over-heating" excuse for the slow-down was proved to be BS and they (Fabian and his engineer) agreed that the best way to reduce engine temperature is to use less throttle, use the highest gear possible, and use speed to maximise air-flow.
The telemetry data was offered but was not presented.
Not saying 12 was not over-heating - it was - but they did admit it was not the reason they slowed, and they did admit that is not the best way to cool it.
