Radio check. Yep, loud and clear.

Lando, grip purple C13, position 9, please. Purple C13, position 9.

Lando, tyre info. Zhou and Ocon start on soft. Everybody else starts on medium apart from Perez who starts from the pitlane with a hard-on.

30 seconds to go.

20 seconds to go.

30 seconds.

Big lift into turn 3 if you can.

Big lift into turn 6.

Big left into turn 9.

Okay, Lando, no full pedal from now and big lift into turn 10. Can we have purple C13, position 10? That's C13, position 10.

And big lift into turn 15. Launch feedback. You are target plus two.

C13 what? Position 10. C13, position 10.

And it'll be C6 position 1 with all the burnouts. That's C6 position 1.

Last car approaching the grid.

Suggest strat 7. Strat 7 DRS enabled.

And Lando, latest weather, possible rain, lap 20, class 2-3.

Suggest bottom toggle turn 3, turn 4.

And I know there is a small shower that might appear on lap 6, but it might just affect turn 15. We'll keep you updated.

Suggest using 8th gear into turn 10. That's 8th into turn 10.

Lando still suggest bottom toggle turn 3, turn 4.

Minor, ACS button press.

And Lando, we think the rain that might come in 10 laps or so is more certain to hit, plus or minus a few laps, so the goal is to get there at least.

So that's rain expected. Ten minutes.

Lando, when the rain comes, it's going to be a racing decision of when is the right conditions to take it, so we'll keep it simple.

7th or 8th at turn 9.

Capital speech to the last car.

Yeah, so Lando, a couple of spots here in the pitlane 2. We think this level of rain might last five minutes, maybe up to class 2. Then there's a gap and then five laps later more rain is going to hit.

Lando, minor. White H8, position 3, please. White H8, position 3. That'll be more deployment turn 9.

Class half in the pitlane and light drops reported turn 7.

Yeah, agreed. That's correct.

Good effort, Hamilton. 3.0.

Verstappen does have DRS minor. White H10, position 3. A little bit more spitting in general.

Yeah, up to class one in the pitlane.

Last three, maybe it's a 15.

Yeah, lots in 15. A bit more in. Okay, we expected the rain to come from that direction so it might be coming in across the circuit now.

Suggest blue B4. Blue B4.

Quite a bit more, turn 7. Understood. We think this is the peak of that first patch before a possible lull.

It's more than class 1 in the pitlane now. We are ready whenever you want it. Let's not go too early.

This is the wettest part of the circuit as you've just seen, sorry.

If you act quite a bit, you can find your way through this circuit.

So this is just meant to go over and then just meant to be better? Potentially, there'll be a small lull and then it's going to get heavier later.

We think this kind of rain will last two to three laps, then a lull of five laps, then the main rain.

OK, understood.

So just red A5, red A5, plus two in the pitlane and wind picking up a bit.

Yeah, they both rejoined very unsafely.

Understood, mate. DRS disabled. Do I need to survive through this pit? Do I just need to survive? Ideally, yes, but not if we can't.

We think another two laps of this, then a lull, five laps, then the main rain.

Suggest red A6. Red A6.

The lull of five laps is beginning to shorten.

Class 1 in pitlane.

Leclerc has pitted onto in inters.

Yeah, but it's dry here at 7. It's just sector 1 and last sector, which is bad. Okay, this rain should be easing.

We still think dry overall, apart from that last sector bit.

Doing very well, mate. No risks. Leclerc is not quicker.

Yeah, it's dry now.

And Lando, we've had our first track limit strike without timing when I've turned 20. Yeah, it was slippery. What do you expect?

Leclerc reporting clearly slower on the Inter. Track slippery, turn 17. You can turn the launch map off if you want to.

Conditions should continue to improve for four to five laps before the main rain.

Lando, the slippiest bits of the tracks are still Maggots and Becketts and the final corner.

Minor ACS button press, please.

Hello, no opportunity. Please find time 10 to 14. When the rain hits, it could last for 30 minutes, 3-0.

OK, so we can choose a good time to pit.

Suggest red A5. Red A5.

Bit more spitting here now. Let's go make a stink. DRS enabled.

Okay, Lando, up to class 1 in pitlane. This is the beginning of this 30-minute batch of rain, so we just have to find the right time to stop.

Yeah, already a little bit more. 10-7. Okay, we are ready whenever.

What do you think? One more lap? One more lap at least. It's class 1-2 in the pitlane but not anywhere else. Maybe turn 7 is the only other place.

So here all the way to like 8.

Rain reported around the circuit but still light in places.

Yeah, it's starting to get a bit slippery now. If you think it's going to get a lot more next lap, I think it's better to box.

Lando, still only class 1 in pitlane. No one has... Okay. Just stay out. Hold my lap still.

And DRS has been disabled.

A lot more slippery now. Turn 7. Okay, we think it's going to stay this intensity for 10 minutes or so. 10 minutes like this.

Lap times are still dry. We can take it if you want. It's going to be similar levels of rain the whole time.

Verstappen has taken it.

Lando, we have priority here. Thoughts?

Is it going to get any harder than this or not? We think it will rain similar to this for 10 minutes, but it is getting wetter. Verstappen and Sainz took it. Yeah, it's getting quite tough. It's getting quite tough.

Lando, we suggest box this lap. Box this lap. Confirm.

So, box now, please, box now.

Lando needs silver D9. Silver D9. Once you're in the pitlane, launch map on. Launch map on.

Silver T9, thank you.

Launchpad. Launchpad. Launchpad. Green F4. Green F4.

That will be Leclerc ahead of us, but don't worry about him. Verstappen behind. Verstappen turn 1. Perez is the car behind you.

Suggest green F4, please. Green F4.

And blue B5, blue B5.

OK, Lando, the picture behind is Hamilton 3, Verstappen 7.

Lando, when safe to do so, pick up wet patches. We're expecting rain like this for 4-5 laps, then reducing for 4-5 laps, then it can be dry after that.

Suggest red A5, red A5.

So, Lando, we think the rain will have ended by lap 40. So the question will be what tyre we go for then.

Is Hamilton pushing high speed more than me? Yes.

Only marginal.

Lando, suggest red A4. Red A4. Hamilton suggesting front tyres falling apart. Same for us. Yeah, we've just got to get to where it's dry enough.

Lando, suggest red A3, red A3.

Lando, for the front tyres, consider orange E8, orange E8.

So, Lando, if we were to fit another inter, we think we'd kill it very quickly, so we have to get to the dry patch.

Yeah, I agree. I knew it would be terrible.

And minor. Purple C2 position 8. Purple C2 position 8.

And Lando, the main places where we're losing to Hamilton is the high speed. 9, 10 to 14 and 15. Remember, they have only softer hards. We've got the medium if we want it.

Yeah, it's still a reasonable amount, so...

And don't laugh. Suggest orange E6, orange E6.

Class half in the pitlane now, so that's less and the sun's come out.

Fernando, thought soon on medium versus soft.

Stop.

There, I got a bit of soft on, so if you want, we can cover that.

Rain stopped in pitlane. Yeah, already starting to dry in some areas. Troubles.

Okay, Lando, no more rain expected. After this, 14 laps to go. We think a soft from here would be okay.

Yeah, I think... I feel like it has to be a softer. It's still pretty wet.

OK, mate. Hamilton, Red Bull have pitted. But how is the soft? Anyone on it?

On the outlap, soft doesn't look quick yet for the people that have done it. Oscar's fitting a medium.

Yes! Box! Box! Verstappen went hard.

We need to box. The soft is better now. Any slick tyre. OK, so we can choose a medium cover people like Verstappen or we choose a soft cover people like Hamilton.

Hamilton. I think Hamilton. Or do you think medium? I don't mind. We're going to Hamilton.

Box this lap, please. Box this lap.

Silver D5. Silver D5.

Launch map on. Silver D5.

Launch mat, launch mat, launch mat. Close to Hamilton at exit. Just leaving the final corner.

Hamilton, turn 1.

Suggest green F2. Green F2.

Minor. Orange E10. Orange E10.

It's bone dry. Deconnective DRS now. Understood. So Hamilton 2.6 ahead, Verstappen 3.4 behind. Long way to go on these tyres. Be pre-emptive with them.

Suggest red A5. Red A5.

DRS is enabled.

What did I tell you about understeer when you passed it?

29.6.

Minor. ACS passing.

Gap to Hamilton. 2.5.

Where is he pushing more in the middle? Turn 6-7 and high speed.

Suggest red A6 for the race.

My front left is already dying.

Okay, come down on the red A switch to help, so A5 or A4.

Suggest bottom toggle for turn 4.

Lando, suggest red A3, red A3, but we'd need the bottom toggle turn 3-4.

Verstappen 0.9.

He's got DRS.

Minor. Aces party.

Two laps to go. Strat 4.

And follow the dash please. Leave recharge off. White H11 position 12. White H11 position 12.

When you enter the pitlane, the boards will be there.

Yeah, I don't know what to say. Well done, but I think Paul from my side, I don't think we did a good enough job with our decisions. I think we knew, we spoke about certain things and we didn't do a very good job with them, but yeah, also stuff from my side. Should have boxed the lap earlier and that's on me, not on you, so.
