OK, Lance, ready to check.

Yeah, ladder clear. Yeah, that's all ladder clear.

46.5 is the pressure.

OK, Lance, I'm ready to check for the pit wall. Yeah, it's all good. OK, so it's four minutes to the start of the formation lap. There is some very light rain. It might get slightly heavier in around eight minutes, so just watch your underweight. Very low, so I think way one hour is good.

That's just one minute to go. So we're expecting some rain. It may get slightly heavier but some rain only for another 15 minutes and then it should be clear after that, OK? That's the general picture.

So that's just a reminder. It'll be seven burnouts, I'll tell you at the end of the lap, seven burnouts, and we can do the longer ones as well. That's 30 seconds to go.

And that's 10 seconds. Remember, let's get some good temp, good high speed on this lap where we can.

OK, Lance. So, just a final update on the rain. It's quite light now. It could get slightly heavier, but only for around five minutes. OK, so it might get slightly heavier than this, but only for a few minutes. Reminder, it's a second gear start. Second gear.

So it's seven extended burnouts and then remember second gear start.

So it's a rudder switch race.

Reminder, it will be second gear. Last car approaching the grid now.

Magnussen is full wet, so don't worry too much about him. Tension is still coming up.

So, Hulkenberg is the car behind. He's full wet like Magnussen, so we don't need to worry too much about him. This is OK for now. We're expecting rain for another five minutes, five to eight minutes. Let us know on track condition.

Yeah, it's slippery as hell.

And we can do diff entry 6 if the car's unstable.

So, Lance, we're expecting another 3-4 minutes of rain and then it's clear after that. This is the right decision, we think. It's only two cars unwet.

Temps are coming up now, Lance. This is good. There's a good gap ahead of Ricciardo.

So, probably one more lap of rain and then it will start to dry for 30 minutes.

Recommend brake balance plus one for turn 10.

So maybe fighting Magnussen at the pit exit. I think he's boxing. Stay out. Magnussen maybe pitting.

Magnussen had a slow stop, so he's well behind.

I think fronts are getting hot now, so we can start to cool them where possible. Cooling the fronts.

Front left in particular is high. Front left is getting hot, so let's take it a little bit easier.

So that's Hulkenberg ahead of Ricciardo. He's on a wet, he's falling away. He's a three seconds lap slower.

So, Lance, from our side, front left is hot. You can reduce speed in turn 5 a bit more than you did.

So that's Hulkenberg on the route ahead.

Okay mate, good job, good job. So we are worried about front temperatures, so if you can get wet patches on the straights, that would be good for the fronts.

We think we might get some rain in around 20 minutes time, so just bear that in mind when you're thinking about this tyre. Car behind is now the Leclerc.

So that's what we think rain in 15 laps. Okay, we need to make this into last if we can. It's front left, it's hot.

So, Lance, currently doing everything you can to cool the tyres on the straight. Its front left is the hot one. Manage turn 5, cool on the straight.

So, it's a bit of traction management as well, Lance. So, cooling on the straights where we can. Traction management for the rears as well.

So, Lance, looking across cars, we think turn 2 is the main place for traction slip, so just think about that.

Let us know how close you think it is to slicks. It's getting there. It's getting there. I don't know, a couple more, three more laps.

Copy that. Just keep up the time management. You're doing a good job. Where's the worst place? It's still pretty slippery. Where's the wettest place? I mean, turn 2, 1 and 2.

Just reiterate, Lance. Focus for now is cooling the tyres where we can on the straights. Traps and slip.

So, Lance, we expect more rain in eight laps, so everything we can for the tyre, trying to keep it cool and incorporate HPV on.

Okay, lads, so DRS is enabled. DRS is enabled. Do you think you could survive more rain on this set of tyres?

Yeah! Whoa! Ow!

I mean, if you look at data, it's difficult. It's kind of turning into a slick.

It could almost be slick to just turn 2 when you're wet.

Couldn't survive more rain on this. Copy. That's OK, Lance. That's OK. So we think it is going to rain, so we're looking at options. Just keep doing what you're doing. Maximum tyre. Save them for now. We've got no pressure behind.

Does anyone want to switch yet?

Negative. Nobody on slicks. Everyone's expecting the rain to come.

We can do a bit more lift and coast into 10 and 13.

Lance, we can do brake balance plus one. Brake balance plus one, just trying to look after the rears.

So just to remind the lads, lift and coast where possible into 10 and 13 is good.

We'd like to stay within five seconds of Brichiardo. OK, copy. Won't be too long. We'd like to stay within five of Brichiardo.

I think Ricciardo has a time penalty that he'll have to serve at a stop. So we'd like to stay within five of him at currently three seconds.

So, Lance, we are expecting rain in around four laps. It will be at turns 6 and 7 first. Light and then it gets a bit heavier.

We recommend more lifted coast, Lance. More lifted coast.

So, gap ahead is currently four. That's okay. I'm a bit struggling on these tyres.

Your lap times are good, Lance. Everyone's struggling. We're in a good position.

I can't keep within five, man. Impossible.

Confidence lap. That's OK. That's OK. Just do what you need to do. Still set behind.

Lance, when it was wet, how was the aerobalance? Was that okay? It was okay.

Now expecting rain in around five laps.

Totally slick, huh?

It's currently yellow at turn 4. Sergeant Spunney's on the exit. He's on the left-hand side exit turn 4.

Run through your safety car. Delta positive.

So it's run, switch, safety car, Lance. Run, switch, safety car and then keep the delta positive.

It's totally dry track. Yeah, copy. We'll talk about it.

We're boxing, so get the delta close to zero.

So we're expecting more rain. So it's going to be into tyre. The rain is about to come. So tyre switch into white R.

So we'll be racing Tsunoda at pit exit so we can push all the way to the safety car line.

Okay, so we're ahead of our concert. Delta positive. Delta positive.

OK Lance, so for now let's just focus on cooling these tyres. We want to make this set in good condition for the rain when it comes.

So there are still cars stopping, so when we get around to the pits, let's just make sure we're close to the delta.

For info, Carbide Tsunoda has not stopped. He's on 25 lap hold inter, so we'll just see what he does now.

So close to zero on the delta, we're reaching Machiado.

So it's close to canal delta. It's 8 bar lines.

So, twice past SC2, so we can push now. SC1, so we can push now.

OK, so Ricciardo has stopped. He's behind us. He's behind Ocon as well.

It might still be double yellow where you are now, so just keep the delta positive.

So, expect rain in a couple of minutes, so just keeping this tyre in as good a condition as possible.

Lance, we recommend going back to torque 12 just for the rain that's coming. So we can go back to torque 12.

So we've got a recovery vehicle on track at turn 4. So just caution at turn 4. Follow the double yellow.

Take it steady. These temps are good. Where these tyres are now, we don't want to be any hotter than this. Take a look at the temps.

Safety car is currently at turn 7, so you'll start seeing the group now. Take it nice and steady. Temps are okay.

So the car ahead, Tsunoda, and the car behind, Ocon, they're on the inters from the start, so they're a 27 lap old inter, OK?

Ocon behind me? Ocon is behind you. Ricardo? No, no, Ocon behind. 27 left on enter. Ricardo is behind him, I think.

So, Ricardo did stop, but he's behind Ocon. Everyone else around you is on new inter. So, it's just Ocon car behind, Tsunoda car ahead, then the old inter.

What's the forecasting?

So, we're expecting a good five minutes of rain, and it will be heavier than this in two minutes' time, or for two minutes, OK? So there will be some heavier rain coming, and it will last for around five minutes.

Did everyone in front of Tsunoda stop? Yes, they did.

So, rain for around five minutes and then it should be clear. We can do run-switch-race. Run-switch-race. Safety car will be in this lap. Verstappen is in turn 10, the leader.

Car behind is Albon, new inter.

So rain is starting to ease off now. We're not expecting any more after this.

37 laps to go, 37 laps to go.

That's it lads, I know you're racing. Just think about management turn 5 if you're not going to get him.

So, Lance, for info, temps are getting on the high side for us on this set. So, it's the same again. It's the front left mainly, but left-hand side tyres getting hot.

We are not expecting any more rain. 34 laps to go.

Can I see the driver default? So MFA grey default 2-0, OK. MFA grey default 2-0, OK.

Track's drying up quick.

Copy that, Lance. All the same management applies, so what you're doing in turn 5 is good. A bit of cooling on the straights is good as well. Temps are still coming up. Traction management. Where is it wettest? Is it still turn 1-2? Yeah.

DRS now enabled.

So, not expecting any more rain, so just keep up your feedback on the track condition.

Lance, just looking at the overlay across cars. It's just minimum speed turn 3 and 4 for you. Minimum speed turn 3 and 4. Turn 10 is good.

So Gasly has just stopped for a hard tyre. He's at the back.

So we can start to ease back on the saving a little bit, Lance. Don't think it'll be too long now. Gasly did struggle at turn 2. I think he spun at turn 2, so pit exit is very wet.

Yeah, that's going to be the worst, I think. That's our life. It's going to be difficult to get around that.

OK, so Gasly is definitely struggling, so we are happy with this tyre for now.

Twenty-eight to go. Keep focused.

This tyre is giving up a lot, man.

Okay, so it looks like Hamilton will be in. We might be fighting him at pit exit.

Ocon is now the car behind as well. He's two seconds behind.

Tyre green, dry arm. When you can, tyre green, dry arm.

So, Lance, we are boxing this lap. Boxing this lap. It'll be a hard tyre.

Steady on the way in Lance, it will be damp.

We will be blending laps. Blend.

So, course to the exit. It will be damp there. It will be difficult.

It should be clear at pit exit. Ocon is behind.

So cars around have stopped. They're on a medium tyre.

Actual 2. Actual 2.

And that's 25 laps to go, lads. 25 laps.

Currently P8. Others fitted the medium around you. We think they may suffer with graining but we're happy to push this tyre. Just do what you need to for the tyre. No saving required.

Let's do one-click rearwards brake balance.

Let's get a white button for turn 10. Zhou ahead is blue flag, OK? He'll get a blue for you.

So, I'll come behind B, I have DRS.

Twenty laps to go.

Good job. Focus up. Get out of your way for me.

So Perez went off in turn 6. He's coming currently back to the pits, but he's quite slow, just for info, so it is all green.

So that's Debris exit of 9, left-hand side, it's offline.

Lance is currently yellow at 6 and 7. Albon's signs are off. Albon has stopped. That's safety car. We're staying out. Staying out. Keep it positive. Focus on keeping the temps up. Staying out.

So good braking, Lance. Everything to keep the temps up.

Keep an eye on the temperatures. We can do everything we can to keep the temps up.

Should be double yellow where you are now, so make sure you're delta positive.

I've got more margin for brake temperance, so as much brake as you can. So just good at once, big stops.

So you want to be close to the delta at the safety car lines. So just stay close to your delta just for people who are stopping.

So keep this just positive, staying out.

OK, so that's twice past SE1, so we can push, Lance. We can start to push now. I'm just going to help Tim.

OK, so two cars stopped ahead. You're not fighting a pit exit, it's OK. No risk.

So, it's currently 16 to go. Okay, 16 to go.

We're having to do more on brakes, so that's just big stops from high speed. That'll help in a straight line.

So, that's a bit of info. So, both Perez, who went off at turn 6, and Sainz as well, they both dropped the wheel onto the damp patch at turn 6. Okay, so just, as we know, just staying on the dry line as much as we can.

So currently P6 and 7 for Enfer Lance, just catching the safety car now, so you're with the group. So it's just keeping the brake temps up where we can, that's going to help the tyres. We really don't want to drop too much tyre temp. You've got Tsunoda behind, he's on the medium, so 11 lap all medium.

Let's get MFA white, shift 2. MFA white, shift 2.

So, Lance, if you can do it, we can do out 1. Run switch out 1. That'll be brake balance forward just to help the brake temp and that'll help tyre temp as well.

So just caution with that brake balance. We obviously don't want any flat spots, but it'll help the temps.

As I know it's difficult but we do have more margin on brake temp. We see the front tyres are dropping. So everything you do for the front tyres, that's good car speed and good brake temp to where you can result.

So that's 13 laps to go. Zhou is just unlapping himself now. So he's currently at turn 6. He's been released.

So safety car is in this lap.

So just a reminder, Tsunoda behind is medium, same age as you, but medium tyre. Fernando is hard ahead.

You can do run, switch, race. Run, switch, race. Safety car is in this lap.

And it will be 12 laps to go, Lance. 12 to go at the end of this one.

DRS should now be active.

Tsunoda behind does not have DRS.

That's ten to go, Lance. Ten laps to go.

We need another driver default. MFA grey default 21 OK. MFA grey default 21 OK.

I can't do it, man. It's too fucking hard. Don't worry, it's OK. Ocon is car behind. Ocon car behind medium.

So don't worry about the switches for now, it's all good. You've got two seconds back to lock on on a medium tyre. Just get back in your rhythm.

There's eight laps to go, lads. Eight to go.

OK, that's five to go. Five to go.

It's currently yellow in turn 8 for now. Tsunoda's stopped.

So, track is clear. Possible debris at turn 8.

So maybe some debris exit 9. I think it's just polystyrene blocks. The racing line is okay.

And that's three laps to go. Ricciardo is car behind, four back.

That's two laps to go, Lance, two laps to go. Keep the focus up, this is good.

We can do Strat 5. Strat 5. This is the final lap.

OK, lads, that's chequered flag. Well done, mate. That's P7. Good result. So, Fernando P6, you P7. Good result for the team there.

Yeah, good result, guys. Tricky conditions, tough race, but we handled it well.

Yeah, exactly. That was good. Clean driving as well. That was really nice, mate. Well done. I think you gave us the good feedback you needed as well, so you made the right decisions, didn't we? That's good.

So, we'll get a couple of switches, Lance, if that's OK. So, we'll get run switch warm-up. Run switch warm-up. And MFB, PU1, position 12, please. MFB, PU1, position 12.

Lance, in case you're just the final order, it was Verstappen, Norris, Russell podium. Verstappen, Norris, Russell, then you've got Hamilton, Piastri, Fernando yourself, and then Ricciardo, Gasly, Ocon the final point.

And now it's just parking a bit pit entry as well, so just follow the rest of the group in. It's just parking pit entry like qualy.

And it's just P0 when you're done as well, Lance. P0.
