Expecting some rain in around 25 minutes, Max.

Norris has DRS, 0.9.

Norris at point 8.

Norris, 0.9.

Norris, 0.7.

Norris 0.9. Norris 0.9.

OK, could expect some light drops at turn 15 in five minutes, but will only be light drops.

Expected the increased rain around lap 16.

B-Bal 6 is available, Max. B-Bal 6.

Norris, point seven.

Norris, 0.9.

Lando, just under one second.

Norris does not have DRS.

Throttling update, please, Max. Yeah, 3-4-3-4.

Overloading the front. I'm out of time for braking.

Have a look at B-Bal 4, please, Max. That's a different group of maps. B-Bal 4.

So, expecting rain around lap 14, Max. Could last around five minutes.

Main losses, max turn 7 and 17.

Try giving up a little bit on the entry to 16 for a cleaner 17 exit.

My front tyres are not working. I can't do shit.

Torque 5 available if needed, Max.

OK, rain expected in around four laps, Max.

So expect the rain to last around five minutes. Then there'll be a window of ten minutes before a longer cell.

So, Norris, DRS, one second.

0.7

B-Bal 3. B-Bal 2 available, Max.

And 0.5.

0.4

And mode 8.

Oh, it's raining.

So the target would be to try to survive this pocket of rain, Max, if you can.

Obviously, your call if conditions worsen too much.

SR Sensei, where that tyre at?

Piastri, 0.8.

So, Salerno, then present one. That's right, yes.

Could be increased rain at turn 15, Max. Piastri, 0.8.

It's very good pit here, mate.

So expect another two to three minutes of these conditions. That's a rough terrain, man.

Yeah, as ever, Max, dry to wet, your call.

Thoughts, Max? It's nice to have one more lap, but I don't see the radar. I don't know where it's coming. We're expecting a 10-minute window of dry weather.

Mode 6.

Quicker than the cars ahead, Max.

Strat 7.

Max, confirm. Four clicks up for the next stint. Yeah.

George Norris and Piastri 31.6, Mercedes 32.5.

Rate incoming. Four minutes, Max.

And that will be my turn for you, yeah? That's correct. We expect intermediates at that point. Just make sure you get your cool right.

Where is it going to hit this?

Sector 3, Max, where you are now.

Yeah, I'll stay sitting here. OK, understood.

Conditions, Max? Still far enough, but I don't know how quickly the cloud is coming in. Understood.

Signs 0.8 on DRS.

Braking now, harder and harder.

Maybe we need to put some on the lap. Understeer back. Yeah, I think so.

Tyre 3. Tyre 3.

It's only going to increase, right?

Box and pit confirm, Max. Box, pit, confirm.

Strat 12 in pitlane.

Strat 13. White line on the exit. Strat 13. White line on the exit.

OK, that's Ocon ahead.

So, Norris, Hamilton and Russell in pitlane. Reset switches if you need to, Max.

It could be close with Hamilton.

OK, you passed Russell, so that's Hamilton ahead, Max.

Great call for the Jetta. Come on, we're back in the race here.

We expect this rain to start reducing in around 15 to 20 minutes.

Strat 11.

So, Norris, Hamilton 40.3, Kira 40.15, Russell 40.4 behind.

Tyres are taking a lot.

Pace ahead 40.5. Russell at 1.7 seconds.

Norris 41.3, Hampson 41.5, gap to Russell 1.5.

So Norris 42.2, Hamilton same pace, Russell at 2.1 behind.

Now same pace as cars ahead.

Strat 10, Strat 10 and mode 5. Same pace as the cars ahead. Russell has retired.

So, range should stop in around five to six laps, Max, and there should be dry to the chequered flag.

So Norris 43.0, Hamilton 42.7, you're at 42.4.

Starting one right quick with the 7. Copy that, Max.

Still happy staying out for the moment, Max? You're faster than the cars ahead. Keep it going.

One second faster than the cars ahead.

Here it's getting more and more dry. Keep an eye on people on slicks. Nobody on slicks just yet, Max, but people are talking about it.

How does it compare to the laps to grid? I don't know, but so.

Hamilton is boxing, Max. OK.

Box and pit confirm, Max. Box, pit confirm. Strat 12 in pitlane.

Strat 10, tyre 8.

Y line on the exit.

Click the overtake. Just click the overtake.

Yeah, Michael!

Hamilton on the scrubs off max. First lap 50.

57.3.

My tyres are under 1. Also scrubbed soft. It did show some signs of graining at the beginning of the race, so let's push on now. You're on the right tyre.

How many laps to go?

Correction, 13 including this one, Max. 13 including this one.

Can you tell me what gear I should use on this straight? Middle sector, half a second quicker than Hamilton.

Gear 7 is good to turn 10.

OK, so Hamilton 30.3, you're 30.0.

OK, we only need gear 8 to turn 15, Max. Gear 8 only to turn 15.

Engine 7.

Fail alpha 5. Fail A5 when you can.

And engine 8. So, Hamilton 30.1.

Norris 29.7.

Six tenths quicker than Lando in sector 2.

OK, Hamilton 29.6, Lando 30.0, Euro 29.4.

10 laps remaining, Max. 10 laps.

Strat 11. Strat 11.

Another three tenths in sector 2.

It was half a second on Hamilton.

So Hamilton 29.8, Lando 29.2, you're 29.1.

Gear 7 everywhere, Max. Gear 7 everywhere. We're seeing signs of damage on the front left of the cars ahead.

If you want to manage turn 9 yourself, it's mode 9. Mode 9.

Hamilton 29.7, Norris 29.7, you are 29.3.

Eight laps remaining.

How many laps? Three laps when you cross the line, Max. Lando does not have DRS.

Hamilton 29.6. Gap is 3.2. Three laps remaining.

OK, two laps, Max.

Gap is 2.8.

Final lap, Max.

Hard lap, Max. Not a bad chase, that. Well done.

Well, I mean, we were not the quickest, but we did everything right today with the strategy and tyre control, so we can be very pleased with that. Great job for that. Yeah, well done, Max. Great last in there. You were hunting him down, so big points. Well done.

Tell you what, in another couple of laps you'd have been right on his tail.

Yeah, the soft tyres were degrading at the end.

And into the pitlane please, Max.
