18:05:33

And watch for debris in exit turn 2.

18:08:32

And hold to the ERS position 8. ERS 8.

18:13:26

And that was Sargeant in the runoff. Exit turn 6. He did manage to get going again.

And main loss to Gasly in the front is turn 1 and 2. Turn 1 and 2.

18:17:36

And Hulkenberg will be pitting this lap. He will come out close to us, fighting Hulkenberg on pit exit.

18:18:08

And Hulkenberg stayed out. He stayed out. One more lap.

18:19:09

Shift position 9. Shift 9.

18:21:12

And for info, Hulkenberg is still on the hard. He is holding up this pack a bit. He would come out behind us if he pit now.

18:23:42

And multi-B ERS position 2. ERS 2.

18:25:42

And Valtteri, for info, we expect rain to arrive in around 20 minutes. Would be important to make these tyres last until then. Try to take the wet line where you can. Copy.

18:25:58

Yeah, the track is starting to dry pretty quickly.

18:26:42

Driver default, Bravo 30. Bravo 3-0.

18:27:14

Brake comp one. DC one.

18:28:40

And Valtteri, how far do you think we are from dry tyres?

18:28:58

I don't think it's going to be that many laps. It's really rapidly drying.

18:29:12

The limitation is still turn 2 and turn 5, 6 is quite wet.

18:29:20

OK. Understood.

18:29:34

The rate of drying is quite similar to the practice session we had.

18:29:43

Okay, copy that. And DRS will be enabled. DRS enabled.

18:31:09

And we suggest more management in turn 8 and 10 for the front left.

18:31:40

And shift position 5. Shift 5.

18:31:47

And wreck-free. Wreck-free.

18:31:54

Repeat.

18:31:58

Multi-B, REC position 3. REC 3.

18:34:07

And keep trying to cool the tyres on the straights, wet lines on the straights.

18:34:18

Perfect. I think slicks will be faster already. Understood. Rain is expected in around 7 minutes.

18:36:06

You can go forward on brake balance.

18:37:02

Manual TP ERS position 6. ERS 6.

18:37:33

And rain expected in around three minutes.

18:40:28

So the rain is now approaching. We expect it to be level 2 to 3 for around 10 minutes. The intention is to try to make these tyres last through.

18:40:44

Copy. Any feedback on this set? And safety car? Safety car?

18:41:12

And the safety car is for Sargeant. Exit turn 4. Watch for Sargeant. Exit turn 4.

18:42:10

And, Valtteri, like I was saying, this rain is expected to arrive now around level 2. Will last around 10 minutes. Any feedback on making this set last?

18:42:26

Yeah, should be OK. OK, understood.

18:42:33

So stay out. Stay out. Copy.

18:43:34

And keep working on your brakes.

18:43:51

So Zhou behind us boxed for new inter. His inter that we pulled off, we're still in good condition.

18:44:07

Currently P13.

18:44:11

Sainz is the car behind on new inter.

18:44:17

And behind him are four more cars on new inter.

18:45:51

There's snow right here still.

18:46:01

Yeah, understood Valtteri. It should start light and then pick up intensity.

18:46:50

And Valtteri, you can pre-select shift position 9.

18:47:03

So everybody currently on inter-tyres. It's you, Tsunoda and Ocon that stayed out on the used set. Everybody else put on a new set. Copy. Tsunoda is in P7 and Ocon in P9.

18:48:48

And Valtteri for info, one of the Ferraris, Leclerc, just boxed for slicks.

18:49:01

It's possible that this rain shower will not be very long or intense. Yeah, there's now a bit more rain in turn 10. Turn 10 is wet again. Understood.

18:49:33

Safety car will be in this lap.

18:49:40

And sock 7. Sock 7.

19:01:58

And pedal position 11. Pedal 11.

19:04:25

Any visibility on the next rain? Tyres are still OK. Doesn't look like any more rain is coming. Nobody is really improving so much on lap time. Any feedback on the track conditions?

19:04:49

It's drying pretty quickly again. Turn 2 is the wettest part. Copy. DRS enabled. DRS enabled.

19:06:01

Sock 6. Sock 6.

19:06:58

And Gasly first car to fit medium.

19:07:09

Correction, Gasly on hard.

19:08:05

How is Gasly getting on? He was struggling on the outlap but we think it's just warm-up on the hard.

19:08:23

And Magnussen coming out of the pitlane on medium.

19:08:50

And box, go 3-box, box for medium and box for 3-box for box for medium.

19:09:13

And tyre position 5.

19:10:46

Keep doing your best, Valtteri. These are critical laps.

19:10:50

I've got no grip.

19:11:55

Gasly behind Don Hart. Last lap 23.9.

19:13:11

Good job, Valtteri. Exit position 11 when you can. Exit 11.

19:19:07

And we'll TP ERS position 1. ERS 1.

19:20:28

And exit position 11. Exit 11.

19:23:12

And multi-B rec position 4. Multi-B REC 4.

19:23:56

Yellow flag in front.

19:24:48

And stay out, stay out.

19:25:26

And that was Albon and Sainz involved in that incident. That promotes us to B13.

19:25:52

You can select pedal position 11. Pedal 11.

19:26:18

So, car in front is Hulkenberg. He is on two-lap newer tyres than us. Car behind is Magnussen on one-lap older tyres. Both medium compound. Copy. And Gasly in P10 is on hard, two-lap older than us.

19:26:51

You can go entry minus one.

19:27:31

And keep working on tyre temperatures.

19:28:22

And you're doing a good job. Keep working your tyres. Safety car is in turn 6.

19:28:37

And you can pre-select brake balance minus two for the restart.

19:29:06

And shift to position 10. Shift 10.

19:30:12

And that's 14 laps remaining in the race. 14.

19:30:40

The two cars behind are Magnussen and Zhou. They both fit new medium.

19:32:16

And safety car will be in this lap.

19:32:22

Drop it. And press the oil button.

19:33:15

Gasly, two positions in front, is on the hard.

19:33:22

We expect him to struggle.

19:36:52

And 10 laps to go. 10 laps.

19:37:52

Main loss to Hulkenberg is turn 3 and 4.

19:39:26

Sox 7 and overtake available.

19:43:04

And Ocon in P8 is leading that DRS train in front. He might have a power unit issue.

19:46:01

You can go SOC 4, SOC 4.

19:47:55

And you can go SOC 3 and brake balance minus two.

19:48:41

And last lap.

19:50:07

And that was the chequered flag Valtteri. That's a P13 finish for us.

19:50:20

Tricky conditions. I think that 6 was dirty. Yeah, copy that. It was really on the edge, but we want it to be aggressive. And you can go mode end. Mode end.

19:51:02

So Verstappen won the race with Norris and Russell behind him.

19:51:11

Then Hamilton, Piastri, Alonso and Stroll.

19:51:19
