Radio check.
17:54:10
Are we both doing the same on pressures?
17:54:15
Are we both doing the same on tyres?
17:54:54
Mike for that turn 1. Sure thoughts? Big one.
17:55:13
And running.

17:55:55
Can you rotate me as much as I can in this box?
17:56:15
Just remember Lewis, you've got to keep all your wheels within the box. Yeah, understood. Just trying to...
17:57:00
And through for Lewis, everyone is on intercept, no ex-runners.
17:57:14
Correction, yeah, it may be one of the hassles on the next lap.
17:57:30
That dog was, that last start, pretty good.
17:57:43
OK.
17:58:11
Feedback from the safety car. There's a puddle on the right of the kerb at turn 2, but the rest of the track, no standing water.

B-Bal offset plus one.
18:00:49
Air clutch was shallow 5%.
18:02:28
And we'll have three burnouts, three burnouts and target same as formation lap.
18:03:14
Last car approaching the grid.
18:05:14
Casing tips are starting to wield slowly.
18:05:32
And we have Magnussen, the car behind Ricciardo, who's the car behind you, is on ex-wet, making progress.
18:05:59
Setback is a car behind.
18:06:36
So, Ricciardo come behind at two and a half seconds. Alonso ahead one and a half.
18:09:19
And now I have Hulkenberg car behind me, also on the X weft.
18:09:51
Strat mode 10.
18:13:05
Yeah, still working very well. Copy, yeah, another few more degrees and the grip should come to you.
18:14:40
Nürsken ramp H53, position 2. 3, position 2.
18:16:14
I'm safe.
18:16:18
That much slower than everyone else.
18:16:33
So about two and a half seconds slower at the moment.
18:18:44
Can we get any better? Yes, you are. That last lap was good.
18:18:56
The Lotto has been told to pick up the pace and use the tyre.
18:19:14
Looks like we have HPP12 position 1. Are you ready?
18:19:20
Yeah, tyre's still good. Copy.
18:20:49
And only loss is turn 2. Exit now.
18:22:10
Place the leaders currently at 29.5.
18:22:20
In a lap or two, we'll need to start cooling.
18:23:41
And let's expect another shower. 15 to 20 minutes time. Similar intensity to the start of the race.
18:24:55
How are we pace-wise compared to others? Are they going off?
18:25:09
You are purple, middle sector. Front runners at 28.5, 28.7.
18:26:39
Keep finding as much water as you can. That rain looks like it's moving further away, so maybe 35-40 minutes.
18:27:51
Are we catching people or not?
18:28:08
So, pace at the front 27.5, 28.2.
18:29:39
So DRS has been enabled.
18:31:04
So that range is so expected now at 12 minutes.
18:32:27
So, pace to the front at 26.5. Just keep cooling as much as you can.
18:34:29
And you are fastest man on track.
18:37:03
And expect rain in three to four minutes.
18:37:17
And rain will be light to start and then intensify.
18:38:12
Track speed right now. Copy.
18:40:08
We have a yellow, yellow. Exit turn 4. Car facing wrong way. Left hand side.
18:40:14
So, yellow, yellow.
18:40:47
Safety car, safety car. Keep the delta positive.
18:40:54
We are going to box-box. We're going to take another inter because we expect heavy rain.
18:41:11
Just let me know if you're happy with the front wing. We are expecting more rain. I would say take out two holes, please. Copy. Boxing. Box, box.
18:42:01
Are you all clear on exit?
18:42:11
Keep on your delta. Delta positive.
18:42:23
Safety car is down at turn 10 at the moment. That car is still stranded.
18:42:36
B-Bal offset plus one.
18:42:45
Has anyone else stopped?
18:42:50
Yeah, a lot of cars stopping. All taking U-turns.
18:43:01
Only Norris has stayed out at the moment.
18:43:27
We have chassis default 01. Chassis default 01.
18:43:49
Push to catch a safe car, that is now at turn 4.
18:44:06
Entering that yellow yellow zone.
18:44:22
Safety car is approaching turn 8 now.
18:44:36
Ha ha, that was a piece of arse.
18:44:42
Yeah, pace was good. Yeah, got fastest lap, but that's now fallen. It's drying still.
18:45:00
Cool the tyres.
18:45:27
I can't see anything in my mirrors. I have to clean them.
18:45:42
Is there rain coming? There should be rain coming. Just get an update for you. Once two minutes.
18:45:52
I can't get the car turned at turn 2. Is that a diff?
18:46:00
So you've got a recovery vehicle on track here. We'll get an answer for you.
18:46:16
So I recommend down on beaming.
18:46:29
B-Bal for this time.
18:46:34
Yeah, happy where you are at the moment.
18:46:39
You should do the same thing on pressure, so you don't sound different.
18:46:44
So, we are down.
18:47:01
Brake is starting to come down. OK.
18:47:12
Apart from being stuck behind a car, it was OK. I got ahead of him.
18:47:19
Yeah, pace was good. As soon as you had a gap, you would stick in a purple sector.
18:47:35
But, like, same pace as the guys ahead, or that's good, or faster than these guys in front of me.
18:47:42
So, points, yeah, you helped fast this lap, so it was just a couple of tenths either way.
18:47:56
The safety car is going to be in this lap.
18:48:30
These tyres are likely to pull apart real quick.
18:48:36
I just want to see how much rain we're going to get.
18:49:16
So the leader has control.
18:49:25
Don't say you can't hit the pitlane.
18:51:23
Expect this race to last another three or four minutes.
18:54:08
Gapping height 2.3 for Alonso.
18:56:11
Piastri ahead 29.7.
18:57:05
It's not a great place to hold on to the bow, but...
18:57:23
Last lap, 27.7.
18:57:37
Only real loss. Last corner braking.
18:57:49
Yeah, front grip is weak.
18:59:56
Start to cool off where you can.
19:01:43
Verstappen was a 25.8.
19:03:24
Verstappen, 25.4.
19:04:15
And let's recommit. Strat mode 11 for a bit more performance.
19:04:33
DRS has been enabled. Just keep calling him. See you doing a good job.
19:05:12
Piastri ahead of DRS this time.
19:06:13
And you're fastest man on track.
19:06:48
And we have first car onto slicks, one of the Alpines.
19:06:58
Yeah, I think the slicks are going to be quicker.
19:07:01
Copy. Gasly on the hard.
19:07:13
Go to medium.
19:07:37
So Gasly is struggling on stick time.
19:08:18
Give me a minute.
19:08:27
Stand by, that type still look off.
19:08:31
The pitlane is still very wet.
19:08:49
I believe that's too late, man.
19:09:11
Gasly still two seconds off in sector 1. It's a hard tyre, shit, that's why.
19:09:54
And it'll be box, box, box, box. Medium time.
19:10:00
Pitlane is slipping.
19:10:16
And you can go menu wet position 1, menu wet position 1 when you can.
19:10:35
So that's beach traffic with Stroll and then Ocon behind him.
19:11:15
Can't think about resetting B-Bal.
19:12:03
Piastri exiting pitlane now.
19:12:17
Piastri is five seconds ahead of medium tyre.
19:12:41
I was just so far ahead.
19:13:06
So the gap now at 2.7 is the warm-up for Lewis. So he's dropped to three seconds on this lap.
19:13:14
There you are, purple set for two now. This is where it's going to pick up.
19:14:06
I have just lost so much time. Yeah, completely seen that.
19:14:32
The other car was weak.
19:14:38
Strat mode 7.
19:15:43
There's the one pitted ahead.
19:15:53
Norris is in the pitlane now. He's the last car.
19:16:00
I've got to loosen up my shifter a bit more.
19:16:13
Yeah, we maybe went a little bit early and then lost that time behind Zhou, with him blocking us.
19:16:49
You're sticking in purple sectors now.
19:17:18
So, gap ahead for three cars, four seconds.
19:17:33
Verstappen, 20.5.
19:18:15
No pressure behind.
19:19:31
Verstappen, 94.
19:19:43
Yeah.
19:19:57
That was still purple sector 1, so our pace is still looking strong.
19:20:27
So, Piastri's car ahead is 20.0.
19:21:35
Piastri, 18.6, last lap.
19:22:40
That's a big gap to catch.
19:22:51
Maybe now we are losing.
19:23:04
Only loss is the DRS that Piastri has off George.
19:23:24
We have a debris, turns 9 to 10. Perez losing components.
19:23:52
Gap ahead. Gap is now 4.7. We've closed it from 7.4.
19:24:22
So, safety car, safety car. So, we have a car off at turn 7. So, Lewis, we have a free stop. We can make it to hard. Let us know if you are happy with that.
19:24:36
How long was there to go? Why would you put a hard on? That's all we have left and there's 16 laps remaining.
19:24:46
There's no soft.
19:24:49
I don't think that would be too risky, a bit too far to go.
19:24:54
We don't have another medium. Negative.
19:24:59
The hard doesn't look bad at all.
19:25:12
Thanks for having me. I can definitely do it in time, I'm sure. Yep, you've got a free stop, so we'll take it.
19:25:25
Have you got the handbrake ticket?
19:25:33
The track position is key.
19:25:40
So Verstappen and Norris stayed out, so box-box.
19:26:16
So you'll be all clear on exit.
19:26:30
So just keep on the delta and just reset your switches. Entry cleared.
19:26:45
And we have HPP shift position 2 when you can. Shift position 2.
19:26:51
Still recovery vehicles on track.
19:27:01
So, yeah, it's just recovery vehicle still on track. Just shift to position what? Shift position 2. Shift position 2.
19:27:41
I didn't clean my mirrors again. I can't see anything.
19:27:51
Yeah, sorry about this. Yeah, we'll let you go. You've got pace to the cars behind, so we're just looking forward.
19:28:16
I have pace on the guys ahead, right? Affirm.
19:28:31
And you're also recommending B-Mix 3.
19:28:39
Did I not have new mediums?
19:28:47
I don't understand what the car ahead does.
19:28:52
Yep, George fitted hard at the previous one. We think this is a quick tyre.
19:29:05
Ground, HPP 7, position 4, 7, position 4.
19:29:25
Ah, it doesn't feel good. Yeah, it just needs a bit more temp. Just keep working the K6 as best as possible.
19:30:43
I had to be in tyres definitely faster.
19:30:49
A lot of the guys are head-on.
19:30:54
Old medium tyres, so 9-12 lap old medium tyres.
19:31:02
Just remember that graining risk is still present.
19:31:06
I don't have any grain in the last one, do I? Yeah, but the pace is going to pick up. It's all about pace. How many laps left? It's going to be 13 when you cross the line.
19:31:32
And for info, Alonso, Stroll, cars behind on 12 lap hard tyres, 10 lap offset.
19:31:54
So a safety car will be in at this lap.
19:32:22
Did you put wing in? I put wing in. I've understood. Yeah, probably just temp though.
19:32:41
It will be Strat mode 6 for the restart.
19:32:56
Strat mode 6.
19:33:29
That's it, caught in pitlane.
19:35:40
And DRS has been enabled.
19:36:03
Yeah, grip is bad.
19:36:43
And only losses to George are DRS.
19:37:17
I'd recommend a B-Mig too.
19:38:00
So, strong sector 1. Losing DRS. Check the last corner.
19:38:14
Last corner flat to George.
19:38:35
And last corner was flat to yourself. Purple sector 1 now.
19:39:02
That guy is way slower than me.
19:39:30
Circuiting all corners, losing 0.6 with the DRS.
19:41:07
Piastri looks like he's great. He's rear left.
19:41:51
So you've got six laps remaining. Piastri ahead is a podium.
19:43:05
Nice work, Lewis. Five laps remaining.
19:43:18
Set Norris ahead 2 seconds, 16.1, last lap.
19:44:34
So, George, down the car behind. Norris, two ahead.
19:44:53
And we have Debris, turn 9, right-hand side, Debris, turn 9, right-hand side.
19:45:19
Georgia, point set behind.
19:46:23
Yes, that is not good.
19:48:09
That'll be strat mode 5.
19:49:28
Well done, Lewis. That's a P4, mate. And fastest lap by the look of it.
19:49:56
Looks like we have strat mode 14 and then HPP1 position 12. Thank you.
19:50:15
Well, that's the show this weekend.
19:50:20
Shame we didn't get the result we deserved, but let's keep pushing.
19:50:26
Copy, Lewis. Yeah, good job today. Well-sorted tyres.
19:51:13
Lewis, the positive is the car is back in performance. And we get on from here.
