Esteban Ocon
17:55:25
Radio check.
17:56:16
Yeah, I understand.
17:57:06
Yeah, I keep that first though, it's OK.

18:01:50
4% too light, Esteban, 4% too light on the clutch drop.
18:02:26
Okay, Esteban, if both Haas cars pit, one of the cars is Magnussen, these two cars in front of us, that will leave an empty space on the grid, so reminder to stop in position, please.
18:02:38
You will stay in your position.
18:06:13
Heavy rain for five minutes, then clear.
18:06:51
Perez, the car behind.
18:07:09
Start to brake. Brake bias forwards.
18:08:11
There's water coming inside the car. Copy.
18:08:33
OK, tyre temps are starting to build now. Let's keep going.
18:11:52
Right, I'll make 3 minutes clear on the radar.
18:13:07
Okay, that car is moving again.
18:15:19
Magnussen boxed for inters.
18:16:38
Magnus, great job so far. Keep going. Magnussen on fresh in as in front.
18:18:08
Hulkenberg. Hulkenberg is still out. When he boxes, he'll come out behind us.
18:21:13
Eight cars in front being held up by Nico, still on the extreme wet.
18:21:27
He's going to try and go up to the track's right. Yeah, exactly. Possible rain 30 minutes away.
18:22:45
OK, tyre temp is still coming up, still below optimum.
18:24:15
Are you sure we don't want to go on the tyres? We were just about to ask you to do that, so look for water on the straights, please.
18:24:32
Tyre temps now at optimum. Possible rain in 25 minutes.
18:25:44
Okay, most cars now lapping about 1 minute 30 per lap. Most are starting to push braking zones now to find time.
18:26:44
Possible rain in 12 laps time. Let's keep on top of these tyres.
18:27:16
The rain shower is short, 5 to 10 minutes in length. It's 15 minutes away.
18:29:01
Brake in 12 minutes.
18:29:39
DRS enabled.
18:30:14
Come on, let's keep those rear tyres cool. Watch rear slips where you can.
18:31:54
Who's behind? I can't see you in the mirror. Perez, still the car behind, then Gasly.
18:33:02
Okay, my grain in eight minutes expected will be light to start with for three or four minutes, then a bit heavier. Let's try and make these tyres last, look after the rears.
18:34:32
Gas man, let's watch for traction. Exit turn 2. Keep picking up water where you can.
18:35:58
Pierre, now the car behind, four seconds.
18:37:24
Fail B, 0-5, OK, the gap. Fail B, 0-5, OK.
18:38:23
Suggest brake bias forwards to help look after the rears.
18:38:53
OK, mate. How are track conditions, please? Yep, all right. Copy. Keep us informed.
18:40:04
Brake delayed seven minutes now. I've got a car off at four.
18:40:21
Oh, my throttles suck! Standby. Safety car window is open. Safety car window is open for fresh enters.
18:40:47
OK, safety car, safety car recharge on.
18:40:54
Okay, mate, so how are the tyres here?
18:41:00
I think the rain is at least five minutes away and it looks to me like it's breaking up. So we're going to stay out at the moment.
18:41:19
OK mate, do you think you could survive on a slick here, question?
18:41:26
Probably early, I think. Probably a bit early. OK, understood. We've got some cars pitting now. Let's pit them. Understood. Standby. Stay out for the moment, please. I need to see what tyres they're going out on. Looks like they're pitting inters at the moment, so standby for now, please.
18:42:01
OK, we are staying out. Why is the sock not catching back? I have no energy. Yeah, I'm working on that. I'm not sure at the moment.
18:42:29
Guess when that car is still stranded.
18:42:34
Okay, so as close to zero as you can on the delta, please. We've got Stroll coming towards safety car line 2. This is the first time past the line.
18:42:54
Okay, so Pierre boxed for fresh inters. Copy. I can't see the reels because of the dirty... Yeah, understood. So the problem is temperature rather than wear, we believe. The rain, to me, Esteban, is looking like it's breaking up, so it might only be very light. I think if we can stay on this tyre, that's going to help us, alright? So let's try and keep them cool. Yeah, copy that. Yeah, that's okay. You're doing a great job here. Stick with it. So we're just following this delta at the moment. Yeah, follow the socks as well, please.
18:43:36
OK, scenario 1, Esteban, scenario 1, and fail B, 0-0, OK. Fail B, 0-0, OK.
18:43:56
Okay, so we are coming up to safety car line 1 for the second time. So we'll be able to push up from there. You'll see the delta on the screen change.
18:44:16
OK, so no one in the pitlane.
18:44:26
OK, Sven, how far away do you think we are from dry conditions?
18:44:34
Ricciardo, leaving the pitlane behind you, we're all clear.
18:44:39
We're not very far, I think from Slicks. Understood. Safety car with five cars behind it is at turn 10.
18:45:33
OK, so the car is still there at turn 4, Sargeant. The car is still on track. Sergio Checo will be out for a little bit, yeah. Yeah, should I go in the water then? Yes, please. Keep these tyres cool, please. Keep these tyres cool for the moment. They're not hot, are they, now? No, they're not, correction. We're going to stay on the drive for the moment, please. Stay on the drive. So we've got a recovery vehicle at turn 4, so stay on the right-hand side, please. Watch for that. Nice and steady through there. People on track as well. Copy.
18:46:14
OK, Esteban, so the worst of the rain is going to be over the next five minutes. It'll start lightly for two or three minutes, then get a bit heavier. If there's any at all, it'll be sector 2 first. OK, so again, watch that recovery vehicle, please.
18:46:48
OK, Esteban, I'm going to keep asking you every half a lap how is the track and how are the tyres? Could you survive on slicks? Question.
18:46:59
I think it's a bit early now. Okay mate, understood.
18:47:11
Safety car will be doing at least one more lap. Yeah, because it's also speeding now, so it doesn't help. Yeah, so we've got a few drops now. If the worst of the rain would be turns 2, 3, 4, if it does hit, I think turn 10 could remain largely unaffected.
18:47:44
So we're going to have drops for the next two to three minutes. The heavier rain is going to be focused around turns 1, 2, 3, 4 when it does start raining heavy. The safety car is in this lap, Esteban. Safety car in this lap. We're currently in P9.
18:48:05
Track is now clear.
18:48:09
So, Stroll in front, then Ricciardo behind.
18:48:39
Gas man, rain for the next five minutes.
18:48:57
Yeah, it's making the track a bit wetter now, that. Okay, understood. Leclerc boxed onto the hard tyre, but he's right at the back now. He had a problem in the pitlane. He is on the slick. He will struggle in turn 10, yeah. Okay, understood. Yeah, so the worst of the rain has probably gone at turn 10. At this point, it'll just continue spitting there. We expect heavy rain sector 1 and 2. Okay, so let's focus on the restart, please.
18:49:33
We have a yellow flag on the pit straight, not sure why.
18:49:41
Clear pit straight.
18:51:13
Worst of the rain sector 1 and 2 is now.
18:52:44
Your rain will only be lighter from now.
18:53:01
Can't see anything in the mirror. Ricciardo one second behind.
18:55:45
P.U.1 position 8. P.U.1 position 8. Two clicks.
18:57:14
Fail B, 0-0, OK. Fail B, 0-0, OK.
18:58:45
Gap behind 1.2 to Ricciardo. No more rain expected.
19:01:40
OK, 33 laps to go at the end of this one.
19:03:09
Safety car window is open for the slick tyre unless you disagree.
19:04:33
DRS enabled. Go down to torque 6 to help low speed rotation if you need some more.
19:05:58
Right, the guys in the pit at the new inters are going to have to start cooling them more than us. So we're in a good place here, let's keep going.
19:06:55
Pierre has boxed for slicks, Pierre has boxed for slicks.
19:09:06
Let's start cooling the tyres where you can.
19:10:31
It could be close to Hamilton. Pit exit. He's boxed for slicks.
19:11:08
OK mate, it won't be long, it won't be long.
19:11:37
Box this lap, Esteban. Box this lap. Dry on the tyre switch. Dry on the tyre switch now. Going onto mediums. Copy.
19:12:11
Okay, so medium tyre, three turns up on the flap. 26 laps to go. Might want to go up on diff mid.
19:12:59
We can go torque 8 when you can, up to torque 8.
19:13:29
Okay, I think about brake bias. 25 laps to go at the end of this one. P9 currently.
19:13:46
Cars behind Albon, then Ricciardo.
19:14:55
Albon 0.7 behind, Ricciardo 0.2 behind him. Car behind that is Sainz.
19:16:34
First cars lapping in the 23s on the medium now.
19:20:23
Ok mate, tyres are looking good at the moment. 20 laps to go at the end of this one.
19:22:23
Lot of deraillement.
19:23:01
OK mate, let's do this. Sainz, the car behind.
19:23:53
Possible debris turn 9-10.
19:24:19
OK, mate, that could be a safety car. Stay out. Stay out. OK, mate, so we've got a safety car. Let's go recharge on. We've got Albon off at turn 6-7.
19:24:36
And we are staying out. Staying out.
19:24:45
So pitlane is clear at the moment, so we're just staying positive on the delta, just positive.
19:25:09
Okay, so just following that Delta for now. So we're at P9 at the moment. Cars in front, Tsunoda, then Stroll, then Fernando. Tsunoda on the medium, the two Astons on hard. Behind us, Ricciardo, medium, and then Pierre, hard tyre. He's benefited with these cars that have just gone off.
19:25:30
Let's try and bring these brake temperatures down a touch if we can.
19:26:01
Okay, Spencer, we are staying out. We're going to get to safety car line 2 for the second time this time. We're going to be pushing to safety car line 2 this time.
19:26:17
Recovery vehicle on track at turn 7.
19:27:30
Let's just watch our rear brake temperatures just a little higher.
19:27:50
OK, safety car is at turn 1 now.
19:28:10
OK, so that car of Albon's is being recovered now. It's up in the air.
19:28:15
So, 15 laps to go at this point.
19:28:35
Caution, 36.7.
19:29:16
OK, so that car is going to be clear very soon. So maybe another lap, safety car, that might be it.
19:29:27
So, we expect 13 racing laps to go. Are we sure about those mediums? Yeah, I mean, this safety car is only helping us. Almost everyone is on the medium. The only cars that are not are Fernando, Stroll are both in front, and then Pierre, who's two cars behind. They're on the half.
19:29:59
Clear turn 5 and turn 6-7 as well. Expect a restart soon.
19:30:07
OK, so we have Zhou allowed to overtake the safety car. It's going to be a bit longer yet. He's in front of us, so he won't be coming past you.
19:30:52
Okay, good call with brake 5 just to help those front attempts.
19:31:00
OK, so Zhou is now past the safety car. There'll probably be another lap to let him build a gap.
19:31:08
So there are lots of dark clouds about but nothing on the radar.
19:31:13
Possible cell 25 minutes away.
19:31:33
So, once we restart, expect 12 racing laps. Tyre management was very good, we're happy with that. I think we'll be able to push this tyre a little more towards the end as well.
19:31:54
OK, so safety car is in this lap.
19:32:29
OK, everything looking good. Any small amount of weaving you can get in to help those fronts work.
19:32:56
Esteban, let's go brake 3 now, please. Brake 3 now. Could consider going, click rearwards on brake bias for the start. Minus one on the dash.
19:33:12
Safety car pulling away now.
19:33:20
All switches set. Let's focus on the restart.
19:33:33
Speed recharge off.
19:35:30
DRS enabled.
19:38:08
Nine laps to go.
19:40:00
Lot of derating. Keep trying to go for now, please.
19:40:11
Sock 8, please. Sock 8.
19:41:44
Okay, so single press overtake to defend is available if needed. Gap behind 0.7.
19:42:15
Yes, that derailleur thing is too much.
19:42:21
Corvette, we're looking as best we can. Stick with it. Corvette, we're looking as best we can. Stick with it.
19:44:18
Sox 6, Esteban, Sox 6. Ricardo, car behind, 0.8.
19:44:36
Four laps to go.
19:44:50
Possible debris turn 8-9.
19:45:11
Debris in the middle of the track. Exit turn 9.
19:45:37
Single press overtake available. Ricciardo, point 4.
19:46:07
Esteban, we have to let Pierre through, please. Gap behind him two seconds to Hulkenberg. What's the reason? I need to try and attack Ricciardo. Yeah, forget it!
19:46:29
Okay, that is the request. Got three laps to go.
19:46:59
Are you giving the pace markers yet or not? That's what I'm working on, Sandberg.
19:47:26
Okay, I let him by. Understood.
19:47:34
Watch for Hulkenberg behind him. Watch right at the end.
19:48:15
One lap to go after this one. Next lap is the final lap.
19:49:30
Esteban, the cars are not swapping places. Push to the end, please. Yeah, amazing. Thank you, amazing. Thank you.
19:49:48
OK, radio is still latched. OK, mate. Yeah, yeah, you're good. OK. Yeah, OK. No comments. Too nice. Too nice. OK, mate.
19:50:00
OK, listen. We still came 10th. We've still got a point, OK? It's a long way to go yet. OK, I know, I know, I know. I know it's frustrating.
19:50:19
I've done what I had to do, which is the most important, but you guys didn't do what you had to do. That's it.
19:50:30
Can we go scenario 10, please? Estimate scenario 10.
19:50:36
OK, it will be discussed in a bit, alright? Yeah, as usual.
19:50:43
In the meantime, we've got normal in-lap procedures from here. We're coming in the pit entry. And normal switch-off procedures. OK mate, well done. The righting issue was a big problem. Yeah, it was. I don't have an answer as to why that is. Unfortunately, we were working on it as best we could. What I'll say is we came P10 and we started right at the back with very little hope of getting anything out of this. And most of that is down to the fact that you drove very well and kept a cool head through difficult conditions. So you should be very pleased with yourself for that. And thank you for doing that as well. Thank you. Yeah, happy to be working with you guys too, Dave and Josh. Very happy.
19:51:35
Thanks for supporting. Thanks for supporting.
19:51:50
Sorry mate, long way to go. Another 15 races, yeah.
19:52:02
OK, so when you come to a stop, normal switch-off procedures please. And then we'll see you when you get back.
