Yeah, radio check.

So just under three minutes max and the DRS has been disabled.

Max, we've got a circuit update from the safety car. We have some standing water at the apex of turn 2, but the remainder of the track is simply wet. No puddles.

Okay, Max, so intel on the rain intensity. You may notice that it picks up in intensity, but we expect that could only last around a minute or two before it reduces again.

OK, that's just under one minute.

You're free to push on the throttle max to turn 13 as you need to for tyre prep.

So, just confirm full burnouts and the extra ramp.

Last car approaching back of the grid.

Gap behind 1.3, Max, and it's Norris behind.

And 6 laps. Thanks.

Okay, this is that patch of rain that we were discussing about, Max. Should last a maximum of five minutes.

George got the track. Yep, copy.

So just need to get through these next couple of laps, Max. Just survival for the moment.

Strong first sector, that.

Gap behind six seconds.

I just had to follow my face. Copy that, Max. Hold it there.

Max, weather update, heads up. Expecting a short rain cell, duration 5 minutes, in around 15 laps.

Lando behind now in clear air, starting to close.

Engine 7, position 2. That's a bit more performance. Engine 7, position 2.

Affinity to Russell. Understood.

It's my drag on the straights, you know. Understood.

Get your tyres cool.

Yes, we are trying, Max. There seems to be some delay for some reason.

0.8. Gap behind 0.8.

Okay, DRS is enabled. Okay, DRS is enabled. I'll need you to work on that one. I'll need you to work on that one.

So Lando, on DRS, point 5.

Gap 0.6.

0.6

0.4

0.4

Thoughts on conditions, Max? Thoughts on what? Understood.

Just a heads up. If it suddenly stops raining heavily, we can't stay out on these tyres. Understood. Thank you.

Strat 13 when you can, Max. Not urgent. Strat 13.

Thoughts on conditions, Max? It's hard to say. It's quite dry everywhere except that sector there, with the trees. Okay, fromming update for the same set. Fromming update for the same tyre. Same. Understood.

Sainz car deployed. 6.

There's rain coming in four minutes, Max. Medium intensity. We can put a new set on, though, but it's not for another five minutes. They're crawling around the safety car. Let's box, Max. Box. Box. Enter.

OK. Strat 12 in pitlane.

Track 13, track 13. Russell on your tail.

Okay, so dash positive, Max. Now, back out the pace, look after these inters, keep on the wet. We are expecting more rain in three or four minutes.

Did Norris box?

No, Norris has yet to pit.

And Lando is behind the safety car at the moment. He's approaching turn 10. So just stay positive.

So just target plus one, Max. But look after these tyres.

We think it will be very close with Lando Max.

Strat 4.

OK, so running order, see yourself, George, Lando and Oscar.

There you go, what goes around comes around. That's Miami back.

So, same scenario really for all drivers, Max. Everybody is fitted for a fresh inter...

Brakes still incoming, yeah?

Repeat, please. Rain still incoming, yes.

Display 10, position 12. Display 10, position 12.

So expecting the rain in the next couple of minutes, Max. We do have a recovery vehicle on the track at turn 4. Recovery vehicle on track, Max.

We can select mode 3 for now, Max. Mode 3 for now.

So I'm expecting that increased intensity rain in the next five minutes.

OK, safety car is in this lap, Max. Safety car in this lap.

So, update. Leclerc in pitlane. He's fitted the hard tyre. He's currently stopped in the box. I'll keep you posted. Anyway, Leclerc intention to fit a hard tyre.

So, safety car is in this lap. Yeah, just keep an eye on people with slicks. Yeah, so Leclerc is the only car on the hard tyre at the moment. Keep us updated with conditions. Yeah, it's raining a little bit here now. Understood. So, try to look after these tyres as best you can, at least initially. It's quite a long crossover period, as you've seen. It's definitely raining here. Okay.

The rain will increase, Max. Safety car is in pitlane.

Another gap behind because I can't see anything above zeroes. OK, so it's currently 1.1 to Russell.

Okay, gap 1.3, mode 6 DRS disabled.

So I think we have seen the worst of the rain now, Max. We should start to clear from here.

0.9 behind.

Strat 13. Strat 13.

So that will become blue flags for Leclerc ahead.

Why are there blue flags?

So you're just approaching the gap for the solid blue box. Almost there.

There you go, he now has solid blues, Max.

Gap 1.8.

DRS enabled. Gap behind 2.9. Russell pays 25.4.

So, info, Russell managing more in turn 5. Also, we are losing entry to turn 8.

OK, we've got Gasly onto a dry tyre. Hamilton pace 23.8.

So Russell 23.7. Gap 2.4.

What are your thoughts on conditions at the moment, Max? I'm not slick yet. Understood.

Actually, from turn 2 to 6. Understood.

OK, Max, so Hamilton is in this lap. Keep an eye on it.

Especially from turn 2 to 6. Hamilton has pitted into traffic, so we'll just monitor his progress, Max.

OK, so box this lap, Max. Box this lap.

OK, so box max. Strat 12 in pitlane.

Strat 7. Strat 7. And slippery turn 2 back.

Russell, hard tyre.

So, Norris has stayed out. He's currently green-green.

Norris has stayed out.

So Lando currently on our pitstop window.

What's the gap behind? It's a 4.5.

So, expecting Lando to pit ahead of you.

Maybe take advantage of the warm-up, Max.

Okay, so gap behind, just over three seconds.

Ah, the ride is very, very bad. Second lock suspension again. Understood.

So, Lando, final sector was half a second.

Ok, so car behind, currently Russell.

The gap to him, 4.2.

And tyre 8 when you can.

Gap behind 3.8. Russell 18.1.

OK, car behind now, Lando. Russell had a moment at turn 8.9.

Okay, so 5.5 behind to Lando.

Engine 9, position 3.

Lando, 17.6.

Max, that's 18 laps, including this one.

There's a bit of debris around the track at turn 10, Max.

Maxwell, double yellows, turn 6-7. Double yellows, turn 6-7. Safety guard deployed, Max. Dash positive. Safety guard deployed, dash positive.

What's the condition of the tyres, Max?

I mean, they're not bad. Yeah, they're OK. Question is, I guess, would you sacrifice a track position for a new set and a different compound if necessary? I don't know. I don't think so at the moment. OK, understood.

I mean, how did they look to you? That's what's important.

Strat 6.

OK, so both Mercedes have pitted for new tyres, Max. Hamilton had a free stop. Russell lost only to Piastri.

It'll be a short run to the end.

OK, Russell has fitted new medium. Hamilton has moved on to the hard tyre.

Any rain incoming or not? Negative.

So that last lap before the safety car, in terms of gains and losses to Lando, the only delta was turn 13 across the apex of that final chicane, but I understand your ride concerns.

Lando quicker turn 1 but losing out in turn 2. Overall lap time neutral.

OK, that is now 55 laps complete. 55 laps complete. That's 15 remaining.

And we have a recovery vehicle on track at turn 7.

Mode 3, please, Max.

Okay, so lap cars are now being permitted to overtake Max. So just stay on the racing line. Stay on your racing line.

How many cars?

Just a single car, we believe.

So Zhou coming through now.

I know it's going to be a short sprint to the airbags, but I just want to be sure to do the best I can in those areas we've discussed on the left-hand side.

At the safety car, is it this lap? Safety car, is it this lap?

So it'll be 12 racing laps when we get going.

Strat 7.

So we'll be just the B-Bars offset max and recharge off when you're ready.

OK, so info, safety car is in pitlane. Again, just a reminder, recharge off when you're ready, Max.

Mode 6.

Gap 1.8.

Let me know how much grip you should stay to in exit last chicane.

Yes, understeer max, OK.

72 for Lando, 1.5.

Four tenths in the final sector, so braking turn 10.

And apex 13.

Gap now 2.1.

So Lando, exit 14. Just half a car over the white line.

Lando, last lap was a 16.9.

The deficit was still just braking later for turn 10 for London.

It's small stuff, Max.

Mode 7. Scoot pace, Lando 16.5.

Gap 2.4.

7. Bracing laps max.

You are the fastest car on track, Lando 16.4.

Gap 2.9, Lando 16.2.

Five laps remaining.

Four laps max. Gap 3.1.

Check my tyres. I ran over Debra here.

Yeah, we believe that was just a polystyrene block, Max. All OK for the moment.

So three laps to go. Gap 2.9. Lando 15.5.

OK, two more laps, Max. No risk.

Gap 3.1, Lando 15.9.

Ah, great job Max. What a race. That kept you out of your tyres.

Well done, Max. That was quite a drive, quite a drive. Got the cools right at the right time. Gone to the slicks at the right time, so well done. Yes, what a race, guys. Not easy, but we did it. Great job, everyone. Yeah, made the right calls. So, yeah, congrats. Really, really good. Ah, nice. I enjoyed that one. Yeah, well done, Max. It was good. It was actually a better race.

Yeah, it was good fun, wasn't it? Many different calls to make, so very good. Yeah, no plan for a can-car, right? Yeah, exactly. If we could even out that a little bit more, then it's going to be very lovely.

And not too many constructive points lost to the max. Here's our Checo de Bretagne at the end.

Yeah, it's a shame, but we flat out, so still a good result.
