Radio check, Fernando. Yep, Dexter, you go ahead. Yep, radio check, Fernando. Yep, both OK. Thank you.

We're going up the grid. The right-hand side is definitely a bit damper. So in front of position 2, reasonably damp on the line, straight ahead of position 2.

So, Fernando, everybody is medium up until Joe P14 is on a soft and Ocon P18 is soft and Perez from the pitlane on hard. Everybody else medium.

That's 13 over, Fernando. 13 over.

Just a bit of space now and then you can accelerate through turn 1-2.

Have a good break into 3 and then make a bit more space. Apex at 3 if you need.

You can lean on the tyres through 4 and 5 and in high speed weaving all the way to 6.

And then R7, Albon's four ahead. We've got high-speed weaving all the way to 9 and just a little 50-metre lift into 9. And then lean on tyres through 9 and high-speed weaving all the way to 10.

Slow on the exit of 9. Careful, slow on the exit of 9.

Lean on the left front wherever you can. Good weaving.

A bit more weaving in down to 15. A 75 metre lift into 15. 75 metre lift and then a good final brake. Lean on the front left in 15.

Stay on the racing line. You can just scrub the surface.

And we're okay for six minutes. We're okay for six minutes, but use the K0 button before you start.

So six burnouts total and then watch your grip position.

Run, switch, race and first gear. I'm watching. Last car is on the grid now. Minus seven. You're only minus seven.

DRS is enabled. DRS enabled.

Consider shape 5 and forward and brake balance when you can. Shape 5, forward, brake balance.

So there could be a very light shower. Turn 15 first in about three or four laps. That's very light.

Consider shape 5. Consider shape 5 for the whole lap.

So you might get a few drops in turn 15 shortly, but in about 10 laps we'll get proper rain.

So we have reached the peak of the tyre temperatures now. With that rain we can probably push these tyres a bit harder. Copy.

So, Fernando, in about six or seven laps we're expecting the first bit of rain. It'll be similar to what we had before we went to the grid. And then it'll stop for about five minutes.

And then after that's stopped, we then expect a bigger cell of rain.

Can I have an aerobalance check for the DRS? Aerobalance check.

Maybe 0.3 more needed.

Top of the round to Svoboda.

So for the first drops we might start in turn 7 in about 3 laps. They'll be light for about 5 minutes and then heavier for 10 minutes after that.

So we've just got about five minutes of this very light spitting there, so five minutes of this very light spitting.

Yeah, drops of rain, but completely dry. Copy, understeer, copy.

But go with the onboard camera of the leaders and you tell me in advance. Yeah, copy that, we're watching.

So when the heavier rain starts, it'll be like what we had before the lapster grid and it'll last about five minutes. Then it should be a bit less for about ten minutes.

It's looking a bit heavier in turn 7. And 15.

Yeah, fished in.

Copy that. Also probably 17.18. Caution.

Russell is slow in 15.

And also 17.18. It's a caution of 15.17. It's not wet enough for inters yet, we think.

I've got loads of energy if I need to.

It's a turn 1. Both Mercedes have gone off. It's not that heavy in the pitlane, but just caution turn 1.

So we think it's this level for about 10 minutes and then it should get lighter.

I've got loads of energy. Loads of energy.

So we are definitely thinking we've got to stay out to the end of an hour as the heavier rain is coming in about 10 minutes.

Good grip ahead in 11.13. Good grip.

So, we think there's no rain or very light for about six or seven laps and then there'll be about half an hour of proper rain, so that'll be the time the proper rain comes.

Keep watching the front cars because there is some drops.

Yeah, copy Fernando, copy. We're on that.

About three laps until we get a bit more rain. The cars at the front are fast now. Track's good now.

The air is using my e-bolt, the air is using my e-bolt.

So when the rain starts, it might start gradually, so we shouldn't jump too early.

Rainy. Interesting.

The cars in front are only a tenth slower in turn 6-7, but 7 is a little bit wetter now.

The equipment.

So Norris lost three tenths in 15 and then five tenths, two more tenths in 16-17. It's very dark.

When the rain comes, it will be here for about 25 minutes.

So 3 tenths slower in 6th and 7th and then 1 second slower in turn 9 for the first cars.

OK, so there's more rain from turn 9 onwards, so 20 kph slower in turn 9.

We still think we'd better stay out one more lap. Copy.

So turn 1 about 20 kph slower for the front cars.

A bit more careful turn 6-7, getting wet at 6-7.

So, about 50 kph slower in turn 9 this lap.

Let us know when you're ready. We'll be ready.

Difficult to save here.

I'm thinking probably stopping for now. Let's box.

Box, box. Copy.

May I do one more lap?

Sainz ahead is on interest.

Sainz is out fast enough. I don't think we're stopping this lap.

And box, box, and box, box. Box, box.

So, tyre switch dry. Sorry, tyre switch white into R. White into R. Tyre switch and shift.

And shape 1. Shape 1.

Tracks clear. Tracks all clear.

And I need to go to torque 12. Torque 12 and race 2 on a run switch. Race 2 on a run switch.

We're expecting this rain for about 12 laps.

So Lance's tyres are already very hot. One lap before us.

You can consider diff mid 6 or 7 for some stability. You can cool the tyres where you can, I think.

So Perez ahead will get blue. He's two ahead of you.

Nine more laps at this level of rain. Nine more laps. Yeah, it's not raining, mate.

Is it going to get dry or rain more?

So, Fernando, we think we've got about eight more minutes of the same, which is reasonably dry in sector 1 and 2 and wetter in sector 3. So it's about eight minutes of rain still in sector 3. And then dry.

Yep, confirm and then dry. So I can push the tyre maybe.

I mean, we will not drive into the very wet circuit with these tyres.

Yeah, confirm, Fernando, confirm. We're not expecting any heavy rain, so you can use these tyres. It's just about whatever makes them fastest.

So you're doing a good job at turn 1 and 9, managing. That is probably the fastest way around with these tyres. Your tyres are cooler than ours.

We're currently about a second lap quicker than Lance. Strat 7 is free. Strat 7 is free.

The rain is a bit stronger now in the pitlane, in the last sector.

This is sector 2 also getting a bit wetter. We've got about five laps of this and then it'll be no more rain.

Wait, I can go faster.

People going a bit faster now, 11 to 15, than last lap.

Yeah, give me some updates. Very difficult to judge how much to push.

I think we should push now. We should push. Sector 3 is drying. Sector 1 is now the slightly slower one. So we can push this. And once the rain stops, there'll be no more rain to the end.

So Norris is one and a half seconds up. The next lap on the previous lap.

So last lap, you are half a second quicker than Lance. Same lap time as Piastri in P5.

Copy. But if there are specific corners, please tell me as well.

The only place you could try pushing a bit more entry speed to turn 3. Maybe a bit more entry speed into 3.

So we're at crossover on lap times and first cars have stopped. Magnussen and Ricciardo.

Copy.

Could be this lap, Fernando. Let me know your thoughts.

Difficult round.

Fernando, let's box this lap. Box this lap. Copy. Box, box.

It's a tyre green dryers, tyre green dryers. The pitbox is on the wet side, so be cautious of the pitbox.

And also the pit exit under DRS. Just careful.

Track is clear. The cars ahead of you on DRS. DRS aren't faster everywhere, apart from sector 3.

Just shape 3, shape 3 and run towards the go-to race.

Perez ahead is a lap down, if you catch him.

At the end of this one is 12 laps to go, 12 laps to go. Hulkenberg ahead of Lance is on soft, so he could die later.

And we're currently P8. We're currently P8.

So Lance is five seconds ahead of you, Perez two ahead.

DRS enabled. DRS enabled and Perez has got blues.

So Lance is four and a half ahead.

Hulkenberg is eight and a half ahead of you. Lance four and a half.

Ten laps to go. Ten laps.

We're seeing a diff overshoot a bit, so you could go mid 7, mid 7.

Eight laps to go. Eight.

So about four tenths a lap quicker than Hulkenberg at the moment. Four tenths. He's seven and a half ahead.

Six laps to go. Six laps to go.

Five more laps. Five more laps.

What about the tune?

Yeah, Fernando, we're all good, but we will take lift into 15 and 16. A bit of a lift into 15 and 16 for the last few laps. We've been watching.

Which number do you want?

Let's do 25 metres lifting coast. 25 metres lifting coast and I'll let you know. No, which number do you want? Yeah, I know.

So if we can just save 0.1 from where you are now. Saving more. Saving 0.1 more. We're okay with that?

Three more laps. Three.

You can go to strat 6. Strat 6. Two more laps. Two more laps.

Strat 5. Strat 5 and one more lap. One more lap.

Checkered flag. Well done.

Run switch cool. Run switch cool. Sorry, run switch warm up. Run switch warm up.

And then MFB blue override, MFB blue override, position 12.

Take the pick-up and weigh-in, please.

That's B7, B8 for Nanuk.

Take the last bits of pick-up around here.

And we'll have P0, it's P0.
