Radio check.

Copy that. Let's make the adjustment we spoke about.

Radio check. Temperature's unplugged. Yeah, copy.

Vlad and Craig from Garage as well. Five minutes.

Three minutes.

So, tyre-wise, everyone is on interest except for one of the halves, which is on expert.

So, feedback from the safety car there. There is a puddle standing water at apex of turn 2. The rest of the track is just wet.

And we are just down two minutes to formation lap.

How long is this heavy rain meant to last for?

Should be over by ten past the hour. Ninety seconds. Fire up.

One minute.

Forty-five seconds.

8.5, 30 seconds.

Fifteen seconds.

Five.

Clutch was shallow. Transition better.

Keep working those tyres.

I'll be coasting from turn 12.

So it'll be three burnouts, approaching P18, Ocon. Our final burnout will be P7, Lewis.

And this will be Strat 6 at a second gear start.

Last car approaching the back of the grid.

Stop at 1.3.

Verstappen at one second.

Possible debris turn 2 to 3.

Casing temperature has now started to build.

This level of rain is the worst we expect.

Start at 1.8.

Verstappen out 2.6 behind.

Let me know if we gap behind now. 2.3, that's good. Yeah, that's good.

We're starting to rain again.

No transcript available

So we're predicting this rain for another two to four minutes.

Gap behind 3.1.

So Magnussen on the XFair was at 36.1 last lap.

Strat 10, behind 3.9.

Gap behind now 3.5. It's enough that you're giving me to look very different at my dash compared to the TV as well.

I've got 2.4.

We've got a yellow flag turn at 6, Sargeant. Not too many windows.

Sergeant is moving.

I'm going to look at my line in turn 2, if I can turn earlier.

Track is dry and quick at the moment. Yeah, A firm sun has come out.

There's possible rain 20-30 minutes away.

So, just looking for water where you can. Keep an eye on those tyre temps on your dash.

And green 12, position 1. Green 12, position 1.

So, gap 1.6.

I'm going better than the other one.

Steps are not quite there yet. Yeah, just keep an eye on those casing steps. Just keep them where they currently are.

Blue 5, position 1.

George expecting another rain shower 20 minutes from now.

Tell me what you'd like me to do then. These tyres are going to wear very quick.

So, Norris, last lap was a 28.0.

Just be careful not to tear the inter.

I think it will probably be 6 within 20 minutes.

Yeah, that's exactly when the rain is expected to hit.

Please tell him to go in for me.

So we're seeing overheating, certainly on the left-hand side. We just need to find more water on the straights.

Affects of low speed. No rear end. Rear left is good.

George, how many laps do you think we're ready for dry tyres?

5, 4, 3, 2, 1, time's up.

Safety 1, which is very wet again. 1 and 2.

Yeah, AFL, we see both rears now overheating.

This next round of rain is 12 minutes away.

Just keeping these tyres in good enough condition for this rain in 10 to 12 minutes.

DRS enabled.

Verstappen now under pressure from Norris.

George, still more scope for running on the wet patches on the straights. You see Norris using it more than yourself.

Norris, car behind. Five laps we think until the rain hits.

Can we continue boxing?

Lando Norris, point 5 has DRS.

Nice, 0.3.

How far is it to dry?

If it's not lip 1 and 2, it's dry. But if it's going to rain, let's try to do a bolt-in, so we're wet when the rain comes.

Copy that, George. I understand, but do not wish to fit a new inter on this dry track. No, of course.

So, 48 laps to go.

Gas to you at point 6.

Yellow, yellow, Sargeant ahead.

Yeah, 3.4.

So, safety car, safety car. It'll be box, box.

No transcript available

So, box, box, same tyre. Just let me know if you need any flap adjust.

Sergio Checo. OK.

A reset diff is needed.

The safety car is turn 6.

So, driving these tyres off the wet patches, you need to look after these until this rain does hit. Sargeant still in the middle of the track.

Brakes are still fairly pretty weak.

Do you want to get the temp in these tyres fast?

No, no, it will come to you, trust me, once we get going.

Safety car now at turn 12.

So, Norris has just pitted now.

Just keep an eye on the splits.

Keep close on that Delta. Ignore us on exit.

So, Norris is behind.

You didn't give me the compass to speed up there.

Fuck, we've got a headwind.

Cazor, just let me know about these splits at the front.

So we just need to avoid low brake pressure.

When does rain come in?

Can we have green for position 2?

Rain is imminent. Restarting light in one minute.

George, we see you in Strat 16 currently.

And how is the weather looking for the rest of the race?

So there's a good long dry spell after this next band of rain that comes through.

So, we've got a recovery vehicle on track now, getting Sargeant.

And we can pre-select blue 14.

Let me know if you're happy with what I'm doing on brakes.

Yeah, I don't know why I'm happy at the moment.

So safety car in this lap.

Happy to build temperature. Are we sure the rain is not going to come and we can help these tyres a lot in these early laps?

So worst of the rain is going to be in about two minutes, but we do not think it will be heavy. What do you think of dry tyres for track conditions?

Not a million miles away, he's just getting out of the pitlane and then turn 1 at 2.

AFM says Sainz has just gone too hard. Copy. Just started the rain now in 8.

I'll be strat 10 for the restart.

So we can go Strat 10. Strat 10, I'll control it at the pace.

Gap behind 1.4.

So expect this rain to last three to four minutes.

DRS enabled or not?

DRS has now been enabled.

So Leclerc ahead. He's just left the pits on a new inter.

George, this should be the tail end of the rain. It should be disappearing now.

No transcript available

Sorry, dry, 17.3, 21, thanks, dry, dry land. Yeah, A-firm, we're just keeping an eye on it. But we do need to keep these. 15. Right, wet patches where you need them.

When are we going to activate DRS? When it's factory that I can do it.

Just remembering back to stint 1, looking after these tyres early on in the stint. I'll come to towards the end.

OK, let me know, Norris, turn 5, if he's managing, or if he was doing it in turn, er, slip 1. OK, Norris is... I've got more pace in me. Norris is managing turn 5. We've hit the end of the range. Yeah, A firm. For now.

Just keep an eye on those casing temps. I've seen you driving in the rain already. I've seen you driving offline.

It's just going to be time 1 and 2 again. Still very wet. Everywhere else is dry.

Yeah, A-firm. Yeah, I don't want to come out of the traffic either.

DRS enabled.

How far off is Lex, George?

Half the track is slick, half. Turn 1 and 2 is definitely still wet.

So we've got Gasly just going to the hard tyre now, so he'll get a read.

It looks grey in the distance. Are you sure there's no rain on the way? Keep on top of the track. Keep on top.

I lost a lot of time from Morris.

Avoid in action. One and a half seconds.

I've come to that point 9 in half an hour right now.

Perez gain an advantage.

Gap 1.0, 2nd. That's DRS.

Gap 0.7.

It's not going to be long now, George. Yes, Nico.

So that's Lewis in the pitlane now.

And he's gone to medium tyre.

Copy, happy to go over this lap.

Stay out. Stay out.

No, probably no. This lap, this lap. We've got box, box this lap. Box, box. Pit confirm.

Blue 14, position 1.

It will be slippery on exit.

We're actually four seconds behind on all four tyres.

Coming out, Piastri.

No transcript available

And Norris has stayed out. Let me know how people are at stage 1 and turn 1-2.

Still about a second off in sector 1 at the moment.

Piastri, point six with DRS.

So, Norris in the pitlane now. He's going to be ahead of Max.

Strat 30. Strat 30.

Nice job. Step on 4.

Check pressures. 70 to the right. Pressure's okay.

We're happy with everything on the car. Let's just focus on the racing now. We've got 20 laps to go. All the cars around us are on the medium.

And that's the last lap, P6.

I don't know if I'll be all right.

Yeah, it's not good.

Focus, George, focus.

George, you're the quickest car out of track.

I just had a yellow flag turn 6 Perez, but it's clear now.

So there is debris around the circuit at turn 10.

I've got double yellow, 10-6-7. Should have cleared again.

Safety car. Safety car. Delt positive.

There is still double yellow, 6-7, Albon. George, are you happy with this set? Good. OK. Good loot happening. Wonderful.

I've hit a racing pretty low, but... I mean, how many laps? 16? Yeah, 16 at the end of this one.

I would be happy to box if it's only one position.

Yeah, I think it's a box and pit one.

Excuse me. Box, box, box, box.

Clear green. Clear on exit. Clear on exit.

So safety car currently turn 7.

So, we just need to build temperature in these tyres.

So, Zhou, ah, ahead of the electric car.

Blue 3, position 12.

There's still a recovery vehicle on track, turn 7.

Green 7, position 4.

If you've got foot magic available, that will build front attempts.

OK, so lapped cars can now overtake the safety car, that will be Zhou.

13 laps remaining.

Safety car will be in this lap. 12 laps to the end.

Cars ahead are 10-lap older tyres.

Just keep working on it.

We recommend Strat 6.

So we can go Strat 6. Start controlling the pace.

I think you don't have to go over.

DRS enabled.

Message, I've got a message. Fuck my team! Fuck my team!

A firm to Strat 13 available.

Piastri in 1.1 to Norris now.

He's got to have the aero fresh, he does.

Please be clear, we've been missed. I need to know if Piastri is alright or not. No, Piastri is fine.

That's enough.

Six laps remaining.

32.5 and I've got the pace for the podium.

That's a penalty, isn't it?

You alright? Yeah.

No DRS for Piastri.

We've got double yellow, turn 8-9. Oh, it's moving.

Track clear. 8-9.

Debris at turn 9, right-hand side.

Three laps remaining.

So, we are racing, but it goes without saying, keep it clean, please.

And use overtake.

One more lap remaining.

Go DRS. That is point seven.

And use overtake exit last corner again.

Good job, eh? P3. Solid work. Not like a tough day in the office. Ugly race on my behalf. Ugly race on my behalf. Sorry for that. Very sorry for that.

So we have green 1, position 12.

Thanks for all of your hard work. It was awesome to be back in the fight with these guys. Let's bring it on for the next couple of races.

Yeah, we just keep chipping away at it, step after step.

So this will be into the pitlane and then driving down to the end, same as yesterday.
