Five minutes to formation lap.
13:57:20
Three minutes.
13:57:28
So, start tyre. Everyone around you is on new mediums. The first car on soft tyre is P14 Zhou and P18 Ocon is the second one. Perez is starting on new hard from the pitlane.
13:58:20
Two minutes.
13:58:50
90 seconds. Fire up.
13:59:20
One minute.
13:59:35
Forty-five seconds.
13:59:50
Bitepoint find. 30 seconds.
14:00:05
Fifteen seconds.
14:00:15
Five.
14:00:31
Clutch on target.

14:01:31
Keep working those tyres.
14:01:40
So no full load after turn 14.
14:01:53
So coasting from turn 15.
14:02:01
And we'll have four burnouts, starting turn 18, exit, final burnout, P7, Sainz.
14:02:14
Remind me of the location. Turn 18 apex, P4. Sorry, four burnouts.
14:02:22
Final burnout, P7, Sainz.
14:02:54
Strat 6.
14:03:20
Last car approaching the back of the grid.
14:04:18
Reverse at point 4.
14:04:47
Gap 0.5. It will be DRS next lap.
14:05:16
DRS enabled.
14:05:33
Gap of 0.8.
14:05:53
Potential rain in 25 minutes. Gap behind 0.8.
14:06:12
As DRS.
14:07:03
We'll have DRS.
14:07:25
Gap for one second.
14:07:45
Doesn't have DRS.
14:08:10
Strat 13. Strat 13.
14:08:33
So, George, expecting first shower in 20 minutes, similar to the rain before, laps to grid.
14:08:57
Gap 4.3.
14:10:23
So Verstappen was a 30.19. That's 1.6 seconds behind Lewis.
14:10:49
Man in front level looking very good at the moment, George.
14:12:44
George, pre-select blue 14.
14:13:26
Verstappen currently doing 31.7. Paces looking very strong.
14:14:16
So this first batch of rain, about 10 minutes out, will hit 18 or 7 first.
14:16:13
This pace is really good, George. Just keep building this gap until this car is behind.
14:17:44
Verstappen currently lapping 31.9.
14:18:03
It's coming.
14:18:13
You've just got power. Push it to the level you're happy.
14:18:27
Yeah, A-firm happy with turn 9, pushing level.
14:21:06
So, light rain expected to hit us in five minutes.
14:21:32
I'm expecting that to last for around five minutes. There is a heavier section in there. Don't expect it to impact the race.
14:21:42
And then there's a 10-minute window behind that.
14:23:30
Yeah, level one now. Copy that.
14:23:50
So expecting five minutes this intensity before it picks up.
14:24:10
Just keep me posted if I don't want to go it off. It's going down slightly harder now. Will do.
14:26:31
So, Norris has now overtaken Verstappen.
14:26:53
Yeah, AFM, we're showing five minutes still before heavier rain.
14:27:36
I can see a big white shower over the distance. Turn 18. Affirm, we've got that on the radar.
14:28:25
So, George, just keep feeding back on the scale.
14:28:43
Level 2.
14:29:08
The rain over Distur looks very heavy. Turn 15 onwards is where it's going to hit first.
14:29:22
Yes, I mean it.
14:30:43
We'll have DRS.
14:31:14
It's very tricky now. Yeah, it's a whole circuit to get like this. This is as bad as it's going to get.
14:31:37
No transcript available
14:31:47
DRS is now a bit disabled.
14:32:00
This is as bad as this rain is going to get.
14:33:26
I think I've got plenty of grip.
14:34:09
So expect this to be... If that was... It is much heavier. It will be difficult at 6.
14:34:35
Understood. Exit doesn't look better. Yeah, understood. Exits don't look better, apparently.
14:35:17
We've got a 10-minute window now of almost no rain.
14:37:39
And expecting rain intensity to increase next three to four minutes.
14:39:35
So DRS enabled.
14:40:18
We've got a light brain in the pitlane. It's a bit to miss for at least two minutes now.
14:41:08
Main loss looks to be turn 9 at minimum speed.
14:42:18
DRS has been disabled.
14:44:07
So you've got Verstappen in the pitlane.
14:44:16
So, both Verstappen and Sainz are in the pits.
14:44:37
It's getting very tricky.
14:44:40
Very tricky. Enters will be very close to me. Quicken up.
14:44:54
That's going to be very difficult, just keep it off the track. Understood, understood. It looks very dark in the distance.
14:45:11
So it's box, box, box, box. I'm going to put it into the box. I'll be able to stay. Gap 1.8. Easy off pit entry.
14:45:30
Blue 14, position 3, gap 2.
14:45:49
Let's be close with Verstappen on exit.
14:45:56
We have a caution into the box.
14:46:07
So we'll be closed with Sainz on exit. Start and go for turn 1. Start and go. Entry turn 1. Be alongside on exit.
14:46:36
Expecting 20 minutes at this rain level.
14:46:55
So Piastri is still out there on that medium. He is inside our pit window now.
14:47:22
This could be a 20-minute duration of rain here.
14:47:37
Piastri in the pitlane.
14:48:17
And next pound of rain will be four minutes.
14:48:36
They're just looking for all wet patches here with these pacing temps.
14:49:02
Fuck.
14:49:07
Just keeping an eye on those K6Fs for wet patches.
14:50:27
Coming up to you, Tim. We'll be over the tyre. I'll just turn around and we'll have a good time here.
14:50:40
Cat 2. Checked. Turn 13 diff. Copy that. We expect this rain level to carry on for at least another 10 minutes.
14:51:12
I have no grip.
14:51:20
40.7.
14:51:39
Yeah, others are struggling with this overheating of the inter here.
14:51:57
So we're looking at another six laps here.
14:52:09
Yeah, front left is dropping a lot.
14:52:30
The pit is split.
14:52:40
OK, at the moment.
14:52:54
Blue 4 position 11. Blue 4 position 11.
14:53:20
So that was B4, position 11. Now we need to go back on B3, position 12.
14:53:40
So Norris doing a 41.3.
14:53:54
McCannell with the D-Race to you.
14:54:10
That's ACS disabled items currently.
14:54:44
That's negative. That wall can't help. Just keep doing what you're doing.
14:55:28
Rain starting to pick up now.
14:55:54
OK, so we need to box-box, so we'll retire the car, George. Box-box, retire the car. For fuck's sake!
14:56:14
Stop on your marks and switch off.
