It’s actually pretty common for drivers not to know exactly how many laps are left without being reminded.

until you approach the end of the race. even if the engineers didn't proactively mention it she should have been asking them.

She did. Even the broadcast played her question of how many laps are left but the pitwall crew didn't reply.
