Oscar, radio check. Yep, radio check.

Clouded clear.

And drinks are good too.

Oscar, this rain should continue now. It could get up to class 2 or 3 in about 5 minutes' time. It should stop around quarter past 2.

Oscar, the clutch hold is good.

Oscar, everyone's on inter. Everyone has blankets, so no-one's on full wet.

Oscar, only cars on wet are Magnussen and Hulkenberg, so the two Haases.

Thirty seconds.

20.

10.

Turn 5.

Visibility is pretty bad even at these speeds.

Copy that, Oscar. Clutch drop feedback. You were 1% deep. For the race start, we want 2% shallow. 2% shallow.

Copy. Oscar, do you think it is safe to race with this visibility?

At the right start, no more full load.

Purple, C13, position 8. C13, 8.

So, Oscar, after the bite point find, you will be white, H14, position 1. H14, 1. Launch is second gear, conservative, and I need three long burnouts with the last one as late as possible. Three long burnouts.

Last cars are forming up now.

Launch map off. Launch map.

Alonso, 0.9.

Track is shown slippery out of turn 2.

Oscar, any feedback on visibility? It's fine. I just need to drive.

White H85. White H85.

Magnussen on full wet is now the car behind. No risk with Magnussen.

Rain is lighter in pitlane now. Rain lighter in pitlane.

Consider rearwards brake balance, Oscar. Rearwards brake balance for that. Well done. Still two seconds margin to Alonso behind.

Alonso now one second.

ICS button, ICS.

OK, sun's out here, Oscar. Very, very light rain only in pitlane. Tyre temperature's coming up well.

Magnussen, last lap 34.6. We're now quite a bit faster than him. He's 3.7 ahead.

Pace to Lando is good. Last lap you were a bit quicker this lap. You're matching him. Gap is 6.3.

Okay, Oscar, no more rain until after lap 30.

Okay, purple last lap was Verstappen, 29.3. Your pace is good. It's all about consistency now.

Some dry lines starting to form in the high speed sections.

Understood, Oscar. Understood. Alonso is 10 seconds behind. So you've got some breathing room here. We just want good pace on this tyre for the moment.

Oscar, we need to pick the point where we would pit, but slick, if there was a safety car.

Yep, it's still way too wet at the moment.

Oscar, what you're doing, picking up wet patches, looks sensible.

Russell, last lap 29.4.

Last lap, Russell P1, 28.7, Lando 26.8.

We expect rain lap 33 to lap 35, at most 10 minutes, class 2.

You're currently faster than cars behind. Lando thinks the slick to medium can work quite well here.

Update, rain could be lap 28, so we want to get to lap 28 on this part.

We want to avoid hitting a dry and then an inter again.

Purple, middle sector.

I think it could be 2-drive by then.

Oscar, understood. You have a 12 second gap behind to Alonso. Still we're in a good position.

ACS button, ACS.

DRS enabled.

Last lap was purple and purple sector one. Most cars, we think, trying to make it to the rain, Oscar, without having an extra pit stop.

Copy. I think when it does rain, we'll definitely need a new inter.

Suggest more Lyco turn, sorry, bigger lift in turn 5 to protect rears. Bigger lift to turn 5 to protect rears.

Target rears 80 degrees or lower. 80 degrees or lower on rear.

Rain expected lap 26. Lap 26.

Oscar, we still think to avoid pitting before the rain. Would the track cope with a slick now? I don't think it'll be quicker with a slick, but I think it will cope.

Copy. Lando's just passed Verstappen. Verstappen now five and a half seconds ahead.

Grace, picture update. Hamilton and Alonso are 15 seconds behind and other cars are 25 seconds behind them.

Oscar, other cars are in pitlane. Other pit crews are in pitlane with the safety car now. Would you pit pit and enter? Sergeant has not got going yet.

We do expect rain shortly. Safety car, Oscar. Safety car. We do expect rain. Safety. Oscar, do you want a fresh inter? Er, yes. Copy. So box, Oscar. Box. It's a free stop. Box. Copy. Box.

Launch map.

Launch pad, launch pad.

OK, so still safety car. Sergeant is still stopped between 4 and 5.

And recharge off to help with temperature. Cars behind have stopped as well, Hamilton and Alonso. Car behind is now Hamilton. And all these cars on inter, Oscar, expecting more rain.

Copy. Let's have strat 7.

So Oscar, all those four cars have taken this opportunity.

Purple's keep 10 position. All seats 10. Purple's hold 10 position. All seats 10. 4.

Be close with Lando at pit exit. Lando's pitting now.

Use the delta. Delta can be close to zero.

So, Oscar, the first drops of rain have started. This should last 10 minutes. It should get a bit heavier. There is yellow rain in the middle of the class 1-2.

ACS on.

So, Oscar, 7.8 minutes in this race. So, Oscar, 7.8 minutes of this race. I think this is the last of the race.

Okay, so that's Hamilton behind. He's stopped the same time as you. Alonso is behind him. Behind Alonso is Tsunoda who has not pitted.

And recharge on. Recharge on.

Recovery vehicle on track. Careful. Recovery vehicle on track.

Oscar, some driving feedback. So, mid-last stint, the time we were looking for was generally braking turn 3 and turn 8. We were pushing the braking to turn 10 later. But the most important thing is to avoid snatching the inside front. So, we want the rear with brake balance, but turn 3 was the biggest opportunity. Copy.

But I don't think you'd really be able to overtake that easily. Copy.

So just recharge off, recharge off. Keep an eye on the tyre temperatures on the dash.

So, Oscar, we believe the rain intensity is increasing. We're still past 0.5 pitlane.

One of the Ferraris is pitting for a hard.

Safety car will be in this lap. Safety car in this lap.

So this is Leclerc putting a hard...

Let's have strat 6 for the restart. Strat 6.

Still very light rail. Rain in pitlane. Very, very light.

Safety cars in pitlane.

Class 2 pitlane.

Turn 6 and 7, rain has stopped. Pitlane, last one.

Strat 10. Strat 10.

Hamilton, point 7. Oscar, we should hold position with Lando, but keep losing the braking. Let me know if you have a lot more speed.

And priority is Hamilton.

And no more rain expected.

Consider forward brake balance to protect race. Manage rear temperature.

DRS enabled.

Hamilton, 0.5.

Hamilton, point six.

Gasly is now on hard, Magnussen on medium. How's the track? Getting very dry now.

And would your preference be medium or hard? 42 laps remaining.

I think medium.

Okay, if we pit, we will be behind Tsunoda and Alonso. Gasly still slower. Sector 1 matching sector 2.

Hamilton has pitted.

Gasly, this lap should be a 25.8 on odd.

Just make sure we're doing the correct position to Hamilton. So we're boxed this lap, Oscar, we're boxed this lap. Copy, boxed.

Oscar Pereira, launch map on, launch map on, then silver entry 7, silver entry 7.

You can use overtake, could be closer with Verstappen and Russell into offset.

Hamilton 2.7.

Green shape 3, minus one B-Bal.

What tyres is everyone else on?

Verstappen medium, Russell hard, Hamilton medium, Lando inter.

Strat 7.

Lando, also on medium.

Consider torque 9 for entry stability.

I have 19 laps to go now.

It's just a green shaped ball.

Possible debris ahead. Perez has damage.

Oscar, there are double yellows. Turn 6-7.

Safety car, Oscar. Safety car. It would cost one position to, behind Hamilton, you could pit Pouret soft. There are 17 laps remaining, including this one.

Watch for Albon in the wall just here.

I'm not sure I'd get the position back and I don't think it'll be that much better really. Copy.

So keep temperature in the brakes where you can.

You can put recharge off to keep temperatures.

The Russell's pitted. I think he's pitting in medium and Hamilton has followed him in.

Recovery vehicle on track. Recovery vehicle turn 6.

Ok, so the car behind, your P3, the car behind is Russell, he's got a new medium, behind him is Hamilton, new hard, and behind him is Alonso who's stayed out 10 lap old hard.

Zhou is the car immediately behind you. He's a lap down.

Straight line braking where you can on brake temperatures.

And Oscar, we still think there'll be no more rain during the race. There is some rain around, but we think no more rain during the race.

Let's have strat 6.

Oscar, just put the C-switch back in C1. Put the C-switch back in C1. Purple C-switch.

OK, recharge on.

Lapped cars may overtake, so Zhou should come past you. Zhou should come past you.

Oscar, for the restart, consider red mid 7 for mid-corner stability.

Zhou is the only lapped car, so Russell is now the car behind. At the restart, priority is keeping Russell and Hamilton behind.

Let's go. Recharge on. Recharge on.

Okay, safety car has stayed out.

You can go recharge off, you can go recharge off. Safety car will be in this lap.

Okay, let's go recharge on. Recharge on to make sure the pack's good. Suggest 58 for the restart. 58 B-Bal for the restart.

And recharge off.

Safety car in pit entry now.

DRS enabled.

Go. Ten laps to go.

Oscar, request to hold position. Do you think you could challenge Verstappen? He was 17.4 last lap.

I need to focus on keeping Russell behind. Just live to it.

It's just a green shape straight.

Pressures look okay. Hamilton is the car behind him.

May I have that understeer race? May I have that understeer race? That was good.

4 to go. You've got a seven second gap behind to Alonso. He just stabilised his position.

There's Debris. Turn 9. Exit. Left hand side. Offline.

This is the last lap. Starting the last lap.

Gap to Russell, 4.6. Try and stay within 5.

Use overtake out of turn 10.

Okay, that's the chequered flag, Oscar.

ACS off. ACS off. And then H11, position 13. H11, 13. And leave recharge off.

So, Oscar P5, shame at the end there with the Mercedes. It seems like the new tyres were a good call after that safety car.

I'm not sure there's much more we could have done.

Yep, yes, just lacked some pace on the slicks, but yeah, some things to look at when we get back.

So, finishing order, Verstappen, Lando, Russell, Hamilton, yourself, Alonso, Stroll, Ricciardo, Gasly, Ocon.

So, Oscar, we box this lap and then pull up near the pit entry.

The top three cars will get waved down the pitlane, but Parc fermé is at the pit entry, same as qualifying.

And as normal, remember to turn the car fully off.
