Oscar Sainz has said he thinks it might be ready for slicks now, so let us know while you're on your out lap.

OK, Sargeant has just opened a lap. That's the first car to leave the pits.

Sergeant, 6.

So far all cars have stayed out to open laps. So you have Sargeant 5, Bottas 10.

Sergeant 3.

How's the track? I think very close to slicks.

I can probably do a lap on inches, it's a bit hard to tell. I think 6 or 2 is maybe more wet.

Copy. Bottas 2. So far all cars have opened the lap. After Bottas, there's Zhou. Zhou is seven seconds behind him.

So far all cars have been opening left, Hoskin.

Zhou 7.

There are two cars to open laps ahead. One car now.

Turn 5.

So just red mid three, red mid three.

OK, so just recharge lap now. That's P5.

Lando behind should be in phase. Albon will open a lap. Nine seconds. So far all cars have stayed out. How's the track?

I think not ready for slicks yet. Sector 2 still seems quite wet, but it's quite weird. There's not really a dry line from driving. Copy. Albon, bye.

Let's go to Strat 2. Strat 2 for single timed. Albon has dropped into phase. Sargeant 8. So Oscar P1 is Verstappen 37.5. Gasly P15 39.8.

Time to find is turn 3 minimum speed, turn 7 exit and the final two corners.

Sergeant, 5.

Sergeant, four seconds and white H14, position 9. White H14, position 9.

Bottas is four seconds behind Sargeant. Leclerc has just pitted. I think he is putting on a slick tyre now. Happy to open another lap.

Bottas, three.

Okay, that's P3. Leclerc will open a lap. He's six seconds behind. Leclerc on soft. Oscar, if we pit this lap, you would get three attempts on the next set.

Copy. I think we need to box for slicks. Copy that. Leclerc 5.

So, you can keep reasonable pace on this inlap.

Leclerc 2, just under 2.

White H8, position nine. White H8, position nine.

Okay, we've boxed this lap, boxed this lap. Once you get in pitlane, silver entry 5, silver entry 5.

Copy, box.

Solskjaer in good place here. You're currently P3.

Stop in front of our garage.

Brake towards the end of the session. So I put you in the queue. I don't have a restart time yet.

Do you want me to turn the engine off? Yeah, you can turn the engine off.

Okay, two and a half minutes until the session starts. Oscar, I think with the queuing time this might move us towards consecutive laps. Yeah, I would agree.

Oscar, let's go strat 6. Strat 6. And on the outlap I suggest to keep recharge on and use the overtake button for tyre temperature.

OK. Yep.

White H8. Position 4. White H8. Position 4.

So, Oscar, we think Fernando got to the fast lane ahead of you and you should let him go.

Ah, OK.

So, Fernando, we think you should go, but Stroll shouldn't. Yeah, I agree. Stroll definitely shouldn't go. That is now one minute to go.

So, Oscar, we think there could be rain in the next 2-3 minutes. You can see the dark clouds, I'm sure. I think that biases towards trying to get good lap times on these first laps and continuous laps. Yeah. Can I fire up? Yeah. 30 seconds to go. Engine start.

Yeah, I think continuous.

20.

10 seconds.

Should be a green light now.

Yeah, Stroll can't do that.

Yeah, Oscar, we saw that. We're on it.

That incident has been noted, Oscar. All good. Let's just focus on getting some good laps on the board.

So priority is now tyre warm-up.

And a reminder, you can use overtake.

Latest expectation could be rain in 90 seconds.

Red Bull off-track sector 2. Strat 9. Strat 9.

Verstappen went through the gravel turn 9. Yeah, it's wet now. Copy. It's raining again. Okay, no risk. You're currently P1.

Tsunoda plus two.

Charleston, we just need to be careful in case the track improves.

Class 0.5 in pitlane.

I guess I stay out now. Yeah, you've got time for two laps.

You are still P1, so no risk. Time for two laps, 22 seconds spare.

White H14, position 1. White H14, 1.

You are still P1.

I ask that you are safe when we can box. Box. Copy. Box.

Pre-charge on.

Stop and run to the garage.

Strat 2.

So, session starts in 25 seconds.

15 seconds, DRS is enabled.

OK, should go green now.

And you can consider overtake use again on outlap.

Priority here is rear right tyre looks cooler. Potentially also front left.

Oscar, because we aborted the lap, the pack's not full, so should we suggest only one overtake on the outlap?

Okay, once you're outside the pitlane, red button press. Car ahead with Tsunoda, Leclerc behind.

Not expecting any traffic on this lap.

Okay, Oscar, that is P1. If we pit this lap, you would have time for 4.

Copy. I think that's what we need to do. Understood. How's the front wing?

I think it's OK. Cool.

With Leclerc pushing, four seconds.

White H8, position 9. White H89, Leclerc has backed off.

OK, I'll get box now.

Happy books.

Suggest to keep the launch map off and pull away from the box.

That's good for that.

Okay, Verstappen has just crossed the line. He should be opening a lap. Watch for Verstappen 3.

And Russell 3.

And Sainz 3 now as well.

Behind Sainz there's a five second gap to Albon. Albon's in phase. Four cars apart from Sainz are in phase.

Consider B-Bal plus one. Sixty.

And suggest orange port 9. Orange port 9.

And consider back right toggle for turn 3 and 4. Back right toggle for turn 3 and 4.

P1 at the moment is Alonso, 27.3. Lando did a 27.4. He's just pitted.

And the cutoff currently is a 27.7.

Oscar, that is P1. You have time to do double cool. We think it might be best with a single.

Several cars have pitted for new sets and not yet set a time, so once I have that information, then I'll let you know.

White, H9, position 7. H9, 7.

Suggest red mid 5. Red mid 5. Keep using the back right toggle for turn 3 and 4.

And Oscar, we're happy with double cool. Happy with double cool.

Copy. Yeah, I'll do a double cool. Hulkenberg is seven seconds behind.

Is he pushing? Hulkenberg pushing. 3.

Clear behind now.

You've got loads of time on the Delta, Oscar, in terms of the chequered flag, so it's just a case of managing your track position. But you'll get one more lap.

Oscar, there's half a tenth to find opening the lap, turn 18 and the outlap.

And Lando improved half a tenth to a tenth turn 7. Opportunity there.

The cars behind are in phase.

OK, we'll box this lap.

Oscar the lap time has been reduced. There are still a lot of laps coming in, but on TV updated we should be okay.

Sergio, stay. Sergio, stay.

Okay, we've boxed this lap. Finished P4. Cars eliminated are Leclerc, Sargeant, Tsunoda, Zhou and Ricciardo.

Copy, box.

That's Verstappen ahead of you.

Wind looks the same, so I still recommend back right toggle for turn 3 and 4.

Okay, maximum fuel save on the in-lap. Drive to the delta. Delta negative close to zero.

White H11, position 12. White H11, position 12.

And go recharge off, Oscar. Recharge off.

Purple C4-3. Purple C4-3.

And zero on the delta box now.

Copy. Box.

And you can stop in front of our garage.

So, Oscar, you are P4 after that. P1 is Russell 2602, Lando 2603, Hamilton 2619.

And a reminder for turn 7, it's more about minimum speed up than keeping the tight exit line.

White H11, position 1. H11, 1.

Okay, Oscar, we need to be careful with the flag, yeah?

Max delta minus 11. You can use overtake. Minus 11. Minus 11.

Yeah, I have a take available.

OK, overtake still available.

Oscar, we've finished P5 there. Verstappen jumped us in that second run.

Fuck, that was terrible.

Sorry about that. That wasn't well managed on my part. Russell, Hamilton, Lando, Verstappen, yourself, Hulkenberg, Sainz, Stroll, Albon, Alonso.

Okay, reminder that delta needs to be negative at the end of the lap.

Okay, and when you get to Parc fermé, turn the car fully off. So, engine off, weight 5 and then fully off.
