Yep.

Can I put pit limiter on now or I need to wait for engine to start?

Any chance to burn the fuel straight away?

How long do you want me to keep the crowd-striking gap at the start?

Do you confirm the pressures are as planned and not like for practice?

OK.

Let's go guys. Big opportunity.

OK, Pierre, if we can get two burnouts out of turn 10.

Okay, and if we can do a rolling bike point learn before turn 13.

And then we can do four burnouts out of 14. Verstappen on the grid for a second gear start.

And last car is on the grid.

Contact with Perez. Copy, we're checking.

Pressure is looking good so far.

OK, peer pressure is all stable for us.

And we think the weather is at its worst right now, so this is the worst rain.

Check the floor, please.

Nothing obvious at the minute, mate, but we are checking.

Gap to Bottas behind 1.0. Gap to Perez 1.2.

And Esteban, last lap 40.2. Time to gain in turn 9.

Okay, Pierre, we expect the rain to stop in three to four minutes.

Okay, Pierre, if we could get fail B05 off, that's fail B05 off.

And how's the track, Pierre?

Okay, so Sargeant is moving again. Gap to Perez ahead 1.5, Bottas behind 1.3. We're currently P17.

OK, so Magnussen ahead. Box for Intus. There's some time to gain through turn 7, though you could sacrifice a bit of speed in 6 for turn 7.

I just can't see a thing with that visor. It's terrible.

OK, copy that, mate. Rain has stopped.

OK, Pierre, Esteban, last lap 33.3.

OK, and how is the track, Pierre? Good. Good.

As soon as I get close, I can't see.

Yep, copy that mate. Last lap was a good lap. Just keep your head down.

Can you take the front brakes? Yep, copy that mate, we're checking. So situation ahead, Hulkenberg leading a train of cars, he's still on extreme wets, doing 34s.

And then the top six are running in the high 29s at the minute.

I have a little more paint, but it's just a nightmare behind him.

So, Hulkenberg ahead in the box.

And he's stopping for interce.

OK, Pierre, we need to start thinking about keeping these tyres cool, so looking for wet patches where safe.

And update on the weather, there's more rain expected in 20 minutes.

Why is the car behind? Because I can't see a thing.

Copy that, so we've got Bottas behind and 1.4 back.

So that's nearly two seconds now to Bottas behind.

DRS, DRS, continue that. I didn't lift, I would have shunted.

OK, mate, we're on it.

Okay, apparently we're still watching rain coming in 15 minutes. We'd like to try and make it if we can.

Pierre, how's the track?

Squads, offset plus sector one.

Okay, copy that. We need to keep trying to cool these tyres, so take some wet patches where you can.

And DRS enabled.

Bottas, the car behind, 3.9 back.

Did you see Perez? He can't do that. I'm sorry, he can't.

No transcript available

Copy that, mate. We're on it. Perez 0.2 ahead. Alright, try to take my front wing out.

Can appear rain expected in 8 minutes.

Okay, so gap to Perez 2.1.

Okay, Pierre, so we've still got rain expected in six to seven minutes, so we'd like to try and make it till then. Shower should... Thank you, mate. Shower should be short, but keep doing what you're doing.

Gap to Perez 1.0.

Okay, nice work Pierre. Esteban, the car ahead 4.1 up the road.

His last lap was a 27.1.

And gap to Esteban ahead 2.4.

Okay mate, that was a good lap. Rain is still expected shortly.

I have a lot more pace, guys.

Yeah, we can see that mate. Keep doing what you're doing.

Let's not waste time between us.

Gap to Esteban ahead 0.8.

And the safety car window is open. Got a car off turn 4.

So you've got the yellow flag turn 3 and 4.

And safety car, safety car, let's go recharge on.

Go recharge on and how's the track, mate? Yeah, it's drying, but the rain's got me.

Yeah, it all depends upon the...

Yeah, so let's try to cool these tyres.

And if we can have scenario one, scenario one.

Let's adjust the front right toggle, front right.

Are you sure?

Pay for repair.

So let's box, Pierre, box.

Can someone clean my visor?

We don't have time for that, mate.

Okay, Pierre. So Magnussen in the car ahead.

And if we could get PU4 position 1. That's PU4 position 1.

So the rain might be starting now and we expect it to last for more than about 10 minutes.

Okay, Pierre, we're happy to stay on the dry line for now, just to get the temperature up on these tyres.

Other cars reporting issues with visibility and visors. So, we're not alone in that. Really bad.

Okay, so all cars still on interce.

Tsunoda, Esteban and Bottas stayed out. Everybody else has fitted new intros.

Where is the rain?

So the rain should be on us imminently. We expect it to stop within 10 minutes. It's going to hit sector 2 first.

What are they? No one's touching his car.

Yeah, I think Magnussen is building a gap for Hulkenberg already. Can't be that slow. It's 10 seconds.

Copy that, mate. Hulkenberg is two cars behind.

I don't understand what he's doing. He left second off.

Yeah, so the gap between him and Sainz is four seconds.

So, we've got a recovery vehicle on track, turn 4.

Okay, so the safety car is currently at turn 5, starting to collect the field.

Are you really sure about the rain? Because otherwise I won't be able to drive. Copy mate, we're checking.

And if we can have fail B-0-0 on. Fail Bravo-0-0 on.

Yeah, we're thinking about that right now, mate.

Reminder to drink.

Light drizzle now.

Yeah, we expect it to be on us now for probably five minutes or so.

OK, Leclerc in the box.

The safety car will be coming in this lap.

Yeah, alright. I told about what the radar say.

Leclerc attempting to fit slicks but he's got a slow stop. He's fitted hard.

Mate, I need to know what the radar says.

So... yeah, so...

We could go for it, mate. It'd be a bit of a punt, but... No, it's raining more at turn 9.

If that cell comes over the whole track, then it's not good.

Yeah, so we've got about five minutes of rain expected.

Safety car in this lap or...? So safety car is coming in this lap, so let's prepare for the restart. Got a yellow on the front straight. Yellow is clear now, so safety car in this lap. Let's get ready.

There we go. More rain detected. Sector 2.

OK, Pierre, we think the worst of the rain has passed.

What's the gap behind? I can't see it. Magnussen 0.4 behind.

So, update Leclerc box for inters.

And Sainz ahead has front wing damage. Magnussen 0.5 behind.

If we could get PU1 position 8. PU1 position 8.

Fail B-0-0 off. Fail B-B-0-0 off.

Magnussen 0.7 behind.

No more showers. And no more rain expected.

Okay, Pierre, there's 35 laps remaining. Magnussen is 0.8 behind.

And how's the track, Pierre? Getting closer.

Car behind is now Perez. Car behind is now Perez. He's 1.6 behind.

What's the gap with Perez? Perez behind is less than 0.8.

And DRS enabled. Perez 0.5, gap to Sainz 0.9, 0.9.

Okay, Pierre, how's the track? Suggested the front right toggle.

Let's go.

Let's try. Copy.

And we'll do the front right toggle. We'll go tyre switch to dry.

And we'll box, Pierre, box.

Okay, mate, so we can go status 0. I'm going to see if I stick to the dry line.

I suggest not using the top right modifier. Disable that.

And we've got Magnussen in the pits now.

Okay, so Magnussen, the car ahead on medium.

OK, Pierre, so Bottas, the car ahead 3.0 on medium.

Ricardo, Esteban and Tsunoda on mediums.

Okay, so turn 5 is clear.

It's quite dark out there, so we'll just stay ready.

How many more laps after this lap? So, 13 laps remaining after this one.

Okay, so the safety car will be coming in this lap.

You've got to remind me to soak as well.

Okay Pierre, that's the chequered flag, so that's P9 for us.

Good job guys. So if we can have scenario 10, scenario 10 we can stay recharged off.

Yeah, good job. Pretty tricky on that start. Shame about the contact, but very well managed on the outside to get me back to the front. Pretty tricky with the heart out of the box.

Gave me some nice racing, so... Good job. Another three points for the team and...

Very well executed.

Copy that, mate. Good driving. It was a bit tricky on hard. Bit of a mixed up race, so the race was won by Verstappen with Norris and Russell making up the podium. Hamilton P4, Piastri, Alonso. And then we had Stroll in 7th, Ricciardo in 8th. And then you P9, Esteban P10. So, no points for Williams this week.

I'm pleased for you guys. Some more points. We know we're going to make the best out of every race until we get this upgrade, so...

We did exactly what we had to do.

Copy that, mate. Once inside the pits, we can switch the car off.
