Radio check. Loud and clear. This is that rain that we were expecting.

Not sure how useful that is now, but we're recommending to use the wet target, Lando. Use the wet target.

Lando, this rain is expected to continue now. It will increase up to class 2 or 3 and stop by quarter past.

Yeah, but I think if it does anything more than this, it'll be too wet for the inter. There'll be too much aquaplaning and everything, so...

Yeah, understood.

Lando, tyre info. Magnussen and Hulkenberg start on where everybody else is into.

So, Lando, the safety car has just been around. Everywhere else around the track it is just wet. The only standing water is the inside of turn 2. On the formation lap, feel free to comment about visibility.

30 seconds to go.

20 seconds to go. Rain has stopped at turn 2.

10 seconds.

Can I turn recharge off? Yes, happy to turn recharge off.

Lando, can we have purple C13, position 6. That's C13, position 6.

Your launch was on target. Please target plus two for the race start.

And Lando, we're going to need purple C6 position 1 for the burnouts. That's C6 position 1.

Last car approaching the grid.

And Lando tracks flippery turn 2 to turn 3.

Lando, two cars started on wet. Magnussen and Holt. Magnussen, it is now about four cars behind you making good progress.

And how's visibility? It's OK. It's fine. It will come to the incessant.

Understood. Magnussen is three cars back. OK, I'll get there now. Let me do what I can.

Some places around the lap are reporting the rain has stopped, but we expected it to stop by lap 8. Magnussen now the car behind. He can overtake offline. Do not worry about him. No risk.

What's the gap to him? I can't see him in my mirrors. 2.2.

About 1.6 and minor. ACS button press.

He's about 1.5.

And Lando, class 2 rain reported in turn 2 again. We still expect it all to end by lap 8.

Suggest blue B3. Blue B3.

Lando, green F1. Back to green F1, please.

Cars on the wets reporting overheating rears.

And Lando suggests blue B3, blue B3 and left-hand toggle for the last chicane.

A couple of little dry patches. 80 to 10-10. Track's dry much quicker now. Understood.

Lando, weather update. This rain has ended as expected. Next rain is possible on lap 33. It would be 10 minutes, class 2.

And Lando, a bit of a picture around you then. So Verstappen and Russell are seven and a half ahead. Oscar is six behind and then Alonso and Hamilton are 15 behind.

A dry line appearing in a lot of places.

Okay, mate, understood. When you're consistent, you're the quickest car out there.

And Lando, if safe, start thinking about wet patches. Yeah, already have done for the last 13 laps.

Lando, two things. One, opportunity turn 3-4. Your losses to other people is when you push the entry too much. And next one, start thinking about dry tyre. How far are we on which one?

Yeah, I mean, the tyre at the minute, you'd always want to choose a soft. But it's like, this is better as a slicks-media, I think, for quite a long time. Turn 1-2 is completely wet still.

Lando, last lap you were almost two seconds quicker than the cars ahead. Gap's three and a half seconds.

Stay out.

Lando, weather update. Still expecting rain about lap 33, lap 35. So are other people.

Yeah, but there's a problem because...

I won't be able to stay out on these tyres. They're not wet anymore.

Understood, Lando. The key point is we need to get there rather than fit anything before it comes.

And it might now come a bit earlier, maybe lap 28.

Miner. ACS offset.

DRS has been enabled.

Lando, suggestion for rear tyres, blue B4 and back off braking slightly.

Yeah, a little bit earlier with the cones next time.

When's the rain coming? We think possibly a bit earlier, maybe lap 26. We're stretching to that.

And Lando, if we worry about rears, suggest blue B5. Just be careful of front lock zone.

I think a slick would work everywhere, except turn 1 and 2. Understood.

Okay, Lando, update for you. Verstappen is seven behind. Weather-wise, we do think it's coming but it might be lighter than we first thought. The question will be, will we be able to drive through it or if we're going to have to box for another inter?

This will be the most dangerous thing in the world in the wet conditions.

Oh, fuck.

Lando, there's currently a yellow flag turn 4-5. It's Sargeant. He's currently stopped, so we're checking.

Saved car. Box and I. It's the rain. If you think... Stay out.

It's a flick though, man. It's a flick right now. OK, we're talking about it. The yellow flag and Sargeant's in the wall exit at 4. Other people are coming in, but they're hitting it into Plan B. Yeah, you don't, I don't think you want it into right now. Unless you know it's going to rain. Oh no, my bad, my bad. That's what people are banking on.

ACS button press, please.

Yeah, and how much is it going to rain?

So, we expect the rain will arrive in two laps. We expect it to last 10 minutes and class 1 up to class 2.

Yeah, so I think box now is like... Yeah.

I think so. I mean, it's a slick right now, but if it's going to rain, I can't survive on these tyres. Unless you somehow think it's going to miss like the first one did.

OK, Lando, there are drops already reported. OK, let's box for extra.

Yeah, enter. I'll do no front winger jump.

It will be close at exit.

Launch map on once you pass the kink.

Launch back, launch back, launch back. We'll close that exit.

Okay, mate, timing on the safety car was not ideal. Just remember the chat that we had this morning, four to three laps ago, and you were the quickest car earlier in those conditions.

We think this rain will last seven or eight minutes and we don't expect rain after that at the moment.

Is it raining yet? I don't see much myself.

And there's a recovery vehicle on track at turn 4.

Spotters report a very light rain.

Yeah, some spots here now. The first place, really.

Spotters saying the rain intensity is going up.

Lando, we're happy to use overtake for front tyres. The safety car is in this lap.

One of the Ferraris was just pitted with the dry tyres.

Rain intensity increasing round turn 6, turn 7. Leclerc hugely struggling on the slick.

The rain will last another couple of minutes and that's it.

Lando, opportunity back on braking. Turn 8 a bit. Focus on the exit.

And Lando, back off braking, turn out a bit more than that. I can't hear you, mate.

Back off braking, turn 8, a bit more than that.

Lando, Oscar has been told to hold position but he might use the braking to protect against Hamilton.

That's Leclerc a lap down, so just blue B4, blue B4.

And Lando's suggestion, cancel Lyco for tyres. Better to use Val if possible.

Council what? Lifting coast for tyres.

DRS has been enabled.

No more rain expected. No more rain expected for the race. Russell 1.2, Oscar 1. He's under threat from Hamilton with DRS.

Gasly is the first car to have hard tyres. We'll keep you updated.

Lando, minor, if there was a safety car, medium or hard.

Hamilton just pitted from behind Oscar for a medium. Lots of cars pitting.

How are they doing?

Starting to go quicker after one lap. What, quicker than the Inters? Yes, starting to.

We need to stay out. Stay out.

What are you doing? Hard or medium?

Everyone else is doing medium, basically.

What lap times are they doing? We just box to overtake Russell. Box to overtake Russell. Contrast.

Russell's gone on hard.

Lando, you're currently the fastest car on track. Is this that overcut thing we talked about? I can do one more, maybe.

Yes, please, stay out.

Lando, Verstappen on a medium, Russell on a hard.

It'll be Box's lap, give it everything.

Lando, we're thinking the medium. It might have some graining, but we just want to cover Verstappen on the medium.

Yeah, okay, confirm.

So, Lando, we are boxes lap, boxes lap. Confirmed.

Launch map after the kink. Silver D5, silver D5 before you come to a stop.

Launch pad, launch pad, launch pad.

Outlap 1. Stint 2. Close with Verstappen. Just over the start-finish line. Verstappen turn 1.

Maya suggests Strat 13. Strat 13.

Suggest green F3. Green F3. Speak up, please, Will. Green F3. Thank you.

I suggest strat 7, strat 7.

What lap times is he doing? He did a 17.9 last time.

There's a lot of debris on track. A lot of debris on track out of turn 8-9. Understood. Debris turn 8-9.

And Lando, consider tyre cooling. Consider tyre cooling. And minor. Purple C7 position 4. Purple C7 position 4.

Albon's in the wall. Turn 7. Yellow flags there.

Safety car deployed. Safety car deployed. Right Lando, have a think about whether or not we want to take a new tyre or not.

Lando, you would give... Albon's right here. You would give up three places. One to Oscar. We think we would stay out. I think stay out.

Where was my time loss against Max? Because he was just quicker. Yeah, standby. Just be careful, don't be where you are.

Lando, the last to Verstappen is turn 1-2. He carries less speed through turn 1.

And focuses on turn 2 exit.

Lando, we're happy to go to strat 6 now, strat 6 now.

Russell took the safety car. He wanted to get off the hard tyre, so we think we're on the right tyre.

And Lando, the other opportunity to max is turn 3-4. Focus on the exit of 4 like we discussed after qualifying.

He's taking no kerb. Is he taking the kerb in the left?

Recharge on as well, please.

And Lando, another weather update. We don't see anything on the radar, but big showers are popping up around, so we can't rule it out.

Verstappen is using a lot of the turn 4 apex grip.

Verstappen's turn 4 apex kerb is similar to us in qualifying.

And Lando, rather than cancelling recharge, we'd rather use an overtake, please.

The track is clear and lapped cars will now be allowed to overtake the safety car.

And Lando, just a bit of a final picture for you then. So both Verstappen ahead and Oscar behind are on mediums. Behind that, Russell fitted a new medium and then Hamilton behind that has a new hard.

Focus on front warm-up. You've got overtake available. Think about brake balance as well.

I think Zhou is the only lapped car, so this might not take long now.

And safety car is in this lap. Safety car in this lap.

And Lando, we suggest opening in blue B3. Blue B3.

And land in minor. White H2, position 7, please. White H2, position 7. That's preparation for later.

And lap 4. The last one is recharge off, the restart.

Safety cars in the pitlane.

DRS is being enabled.

And just focus ahead. Don't worry about Oscar behind. Strat 7. Strat 7.

Suggest blue B5, blue B5.

And Lando, opportunity. It's turn 2 minimum. Backing off turn 1 could help.

Okay, Lando, so the gap behind is now 2.4. We're a little bit worried about rear graining. No oversteer.

Hamilton now the car behind.

Debris, turn 9 exit, left-hand side off-line.

Two laps to go.

Russell, now the car behind, 2.2.

Strat 5 is available if you want it.

Russell, DRS, Preston Hall, thank you.

OK, mate. I need an ACS button press, please.

Leave recharge turned off and white H11 position 12. White H11 position 12.

Yep. Unlucky, I think. We did everything we could today, so... Unlucky, but well done. Good results. Not the pace, probably, in the slicks and on the dry, but... Wet pace was very good, so well done. Congrats, everyone. Thank you.

I'm a grey man. I'm sitting here looking at it, thinking, but now the six immediate paces are good.

And Lando, when you come back to the pitlane, you'll drive all the way through to the pit exit. Similar to qualifying.

Zac's in the fast lane, so just be careful of him.
