Radio check, Gary. Radio check. Loud and clear, Nico. Seven minutes till we go.

Can we just clean the mirrors again, please? Both left and right.

OK, Nico. Soft runners is Zhou and Ocon. Perez from pitlane is on hard, everyone else on medium. OK, two and a half minutes till we go. When we fire up, you'll switch the limiter on and keep the limiter until the line and then back to mode RS for the race start.

In the latest weather, we're expecting some possible spitting light, very light rain 30 minutes in. And then one hour in will be proper rain somewhere around lap 35 to 38. That's the latest.

Two minutes till we go. Two minutes.

Mode push. Mode push.

DRS enabled.

We might have raindrops in 15 laps and possible rain in around 18 laps.

Probably some raindrops in three laps time.

Tyres are good. How is the balance? Not bad, actually. A little bit twitchy, low speed on the rear.

We expect some rain imminently from turn 15, 16 side.

It's got good pace but I can't really exploit so much here.

Yeah, copy that. You're doing good with the tyres though, so you're doing what you can.

Still expecting rain in six laps time.

If we go to inters, we will go to the interbalance we ran on laps to grid. Happy with that?

Yeah, maybe go in between.

Yeah, copy that.

Slower turn 1, please. Manage more turn 1.

Still rain. Two or three laps.

Like how much rain.

Just spitting, or do you expect to have to go in? Spitting initially, but we think it could become real a lap or two in.

Rain may come from turn 7's side.

Brake at turn 15. Copy that.

Wind is increasing a lot.

DRS disabled.

What do you think now, Nico? Tyre?

Well, it's on the cusp. If it keeps raining like this, we'll need endures. But judge what the top runners are doing.

I really didn't deserve a stage like that. Fuck, this is edgy.

We think that was the peak of the rain.

Right toggle will stabilize 11 to 14.

We're past the peak of the rain. It's past the peak.

Yeah, top 6 all still stayed out.

We're dead miles on the straight, man.

More rain in 10 minutes.

There is no getting away. We have a wall in the straight.

Copy that, Nico.

Other than the tow, your only loss is turn 1. You're driving great.

Three laps from now, more rain, starting light again and then getting more like at the peak level.

Good job. Turn 1 is good. You're driving really well.

Good job. Temps are coming up. We've got a couple laps till rain comes again. You're doing amazing.

DRS enabled. DRS enabled. Alonso 1.4 behind.

It's rainy here in 1780.

Yeah, copy that. We're watching everything. This rain will be longer, so just keep us posted what you're experiencing.

Good job. Gap to Alonso, 1.7.

6-7 getting very wet, just be aware. Gap is 2.1 behind.

Turn 9 as well is getting wetter. Gap is 2.1.

DRS disabled. Leaders all stayed out. It's getting wet at 15.

Gap to Alonso, 2.3.

We're at 7. Watch 9.

It's getting wet all through this section ahead.

Okay, Verstappen and Sainz pitted. The other leaders stayed out. I don't know. It's more rain. We need to pit more.

Box now, Nico. Box now for inter. Box now.

Pitlane. Okay, tyre 4, tyre 4. Think about brake balance.

And B-C-3 when you can.

Okay, so Stroll behind pitted on inter as well. Next car ahead is Sargeant 8 ahead on dry, going slow.

Sargeant, six ahead, dry tyres.

Sergeant 2.5 ahead and then Kevin 4 ahead. Stroll 1.2 behind him.

Everyone else box now. Nico looking good.

You're opening a gap 1.3 behind.

Eleven more laps with this rain.

Press oil pump button.

Some race info would be good. Yeah, okay, currently P7. We expect nine more laps of this rain.

So after the rain ends, there'll be about 13 laps left in the race, so we can either go to soft or hard. Let me know what you think about that.

Sainz, the front guy in front. That is Leclerc and he's a lap down. He'll be a blue.

He's already on his second inter because he went to inter very early.

You have a good gap behind the Stroll, so try to do some management to help the tyre temps like 1 and 9. Tyres starting to be a bit damaged now already. There's not much rain at the moment I think.

E-B7, E-B7.

10 to 12 more minutes of this rain.

We suggest P7. Five more laps of rain and then we're thinking to go to the hard.

Nico, I need multifunction B4 to position 4. When you can, B4, position 4.

Ok, good job. Stroll is 3 behind. There may be more rain coming from this end of the circuit.

Russell, retired. You're now P6.

You're opening a gap for Stroll. My tyres feel pretty shut by now. OK, this is the heaviest of the rain and then it should transition.

It'll be five more laps and then there'll be 13 laps remaining when we go to dry tyre, Nico.

I think, obviously if it's damp, the softness is more tempting.

Yeah, we agree. We think soft for 13 laps to go.

We suggest no func2 for turn 3.

Gap day behind. Gap I can't see. 3.7. You're quicker than Stroll and Alonso.

How much is Alonso doing in stroll? 10 seconds.

Alonso pitted one lap later, so he's, yeah, 15 behind you.

Stroll 3.8 behind. Two to three more laps of rain.

I think dry line will appear quickly now, with the sun out. Copy that.

We're ready with softs. I'm going to put the balance about 0.3 higher than we did the lap to grid with the soft. What do you think?

I don't know how to stop at a halt. I don't know how to stop at a halt. I'm two laps away. I'm two laps away.

Yeah, copy that, Nico. The gap behind is still 3.8 and Alonso is still 11 behind, 14 behind, something like that.

I'm seeing a little bit also what the others are doing, which compound they put him in. Yeah, copy that. Kevin and Rick are boxing now.

Norris stayed out. Hamilton, Verstappen boxed. Copy that.

Yeah, copy that.

Agree. One more lap, Nico. Use the tyre up.

Stroll stayed out a lot. He has grip there.

So, have a look. I mean, medium run is... we'll go medium, but for us... Yeah, Piastri went medium. Everyone else went soft, except Verstappen went hard.

Should be manageable with soft. Should be OK. Yeah, copy that.

Okay, box now, Nico. Box now for soft.

Fox now.

OK, tyre 1, Nico.

OK, Stroll 5 behind on medium. Alonso hit it a lap earlier. 8 behind medium.

Okay, still P6. Stroll 4.7 behind medium. 12 to go at the line.

OK, Nico, you have a good gap. Just a gentle introduction until we get the temps up. You're doing perfect.

Gap is 5.5 behind. I need multifunction B4 back to position 1. B4 position 1 when you can.

BC1, BC1, gap 5 seconds.

Good job bringing the tyre in, Nico. Good job.

Gap behind. 3.7. He's a bit quicker, but bring this tyre in and then we'll be able to use it a bit later. You're doing good.

I need to have more updates on you. Copy.

Gap still 3.5.

10 to go. Gap 3.6.

Gap 3.7.

Gap is four now. You're matching his pace, so let's keep that tyre going to the end. Nine to go.

Stroll is slowed down now, so we can increase management 11.15. Gap is 3.8.

Okay, that's good on the tyres. Gap 3.6.

Good job. Gap is still 3.6.

Good job. Same lap time as Stroll and Alonso. Still 3.5.

Gap 3.5. Can you manage more turn 9?

So, leave it now. We need to keep the gap. Understood.

Turn 9 is easy flat. It's a massive headwind and downforce. Otherwise you just fuck down a lot.

Multifunction B4 position 2 will fix the clip turn 9. B4 position 2.

Gap is still 3.5. Good job. It'll be 5 to go at the line.

Good job, Nico. Still, you're 0.1 quicker than Stroll last lap.

7-0-8, 3-4-10-9. Switch gear.

Go to 8 before turn 9. 4 to go.

Norris killed his soft already but you're doing good and the gap is 3.0.

Gap is 3.0. It's 3 to go at the line.

Three to go.

Gap is 2.6. He's doing like 29.9, but you're still doing good.

OK, got the gap. No more gap.

Two laps to go, Nico. Two laps.

Starting last lap.

Checkered flag, Nico. Checkered flag. P6. Brilliant. Bloody stressful. I think the soft... I need to reconsider, but it made it a little bit more challenging. But awesome job, guys. Very well done on the updates team. They really make a big difference. We'll be good from here. Good ride. Yeah, good job, Nico. You kept the soft alive longer than Norris did. Really good. Yeah, the update's good. Good job. Nice race. P6.

Fantastic job, Nico. Well done, mate. Really good. Thanks, boss. Appreciate it. Thank you, guys.

Can you give me the top 10, Gary, please? Yeah, copy that. P1 Hamilton, 2 Verstappen, 3 Norris, 4 Piastri, 5 Sainz, 6 Hulk, 7 Stroll, 8 Alonso, 9 Albon, 10 Tsunoda, and then 11 Sargeant, 12 Kevin.
