Rain intensity where we are increasing a little bit.

If you want to keep pushing, Strat 12 does work.

So, Lando, the fastest was a 17.2, the cutoff was a 19.6.

Bottas, time lap, turn 2.

Suggest red A4, red A4. Bottas coming up close.

Rain in pitlane and start in straight, starting to wet the track very slightly. Next car time lap, Zhou, turn 2.

Opportunities. Minimum speed. Turn 4 and turn 2 braking. Zhou, turn 5.

There are three cars ahead of you still to go.

Couple of yellow flags in turn 1.

DRS is being disabled. Yellow flags turn 1.

He's getting moving again.

Track is clear.

Magnussen. So the car's a pit behind. I work out what they're doing. Oscar's the car behind. Should be in phase. We think this rain will continue to the end of Q1. At the moment you're P5. The fastest to 17.0. The cutoff on 18.5.

First kind of time lap is Leclerc at turn 1.

First car, time that. Ocon, turn 5. There is just Alonso ahead. No one else will back you up.

Suggest hold left-hand toggle for turn 5. Ocon, turn 9. Rain reported to be increasing around the circuit. Ocon just left 11.

Single coil is OK.

Opportunity, turn 1, 10 metres later braking. Turn 4, throttle pickup.

Careful turn 8.

Hulkenberg will start the lap. He is about two seconds behind you.

Some other teams pitting because tyres are getting worse, or conditions are getting worse. Careful of Oscar just in case, right behind.

Oscar leaving one. Dennis Leclerc in one.

So it's Leclerc. I think you're in phase with people. So red flag, red flag.

And there's a car on the wall, turn 8.

Stop in front of our garage.

No more rain expected. There is 2 minutes 20 to go. Albon is just out of the final corner.

Russell has just done a 17.9.

The track looks to be in relatively good condition based on Russell's lap.

There's about seven and a half miles to go, or seven and a half miles to go to go. We're all quite bummed up.

First kind of time lap is Verstappen. He's approaching turn 2.

Fifty seconds to the flag.

Still about three cars ahead to go. 30 seconds to the flag.

18 seconds to go. You're going to have to go quite close to Hamilton, not too close.

Let me know if I can back off.

We can box this lap, box this lap. Careful, cars are immediately behind Magnussen.

OK, Lando, you are plugged in.

Might still be two cars down the end.

Next one is Hulkenberg who's in turn 11.

Verstappen and Bottas are approaching turn 14. Hulkenberg's in 12. Verstappen just leaving the final corner. Verstappen over the start. Quick slide. Bottas out of the final corner. Hulkenberg's 13. Red button. Verstappen turn 1.

Bottas just left turn 1.

Bottas leaving 3, then there's Hulkenberg halfway between 1 and 2.

Bottas turn 4.

Bottas close. Hulkenberg turn 4. Then Magnussen turn 3.

There is one car ahead of you that might back you up, but I don't think by much. Hulkenberg turns 7.

Still one car to go ahead. Hulkenberg turn 8.

Hulkenberg approaching 12. Still one car to go. Albon. Hulkenberg leaving 12. Hulkenberg 13.

We are boxed this lap.

Box now and stop in front of our garage.

OK, Lando, you stay with me.

Three minutes 40 to the flag.

So, Hamilton's lead car in turn 9. There's 2 minutes 30 to the flag. Hamilton's in 11th.

Hamilton in 12th.

Hamilton, turn 1.

Five cars to go ahead. Evenly spaced.

Hamilton leaving 2.

Hamilton, 5. Two cars ahead to go.

Hamilton in 10th. Just Alonso.

Hamilton, turn 12.

And we have boxed this lap.

We're boxing this lap. Stop in front of our garage.

Verstappen lead car 6-7.

Verstappen, 11.

Verstappen, 12.

Thirteen.

We still expect rain in four minutes' time. Verstappen, turn 1.

Verstappen, turn 4. There are basically two cars to go ahead. Tsunoda and then Alonso's in 12. Verstappen's just left 5.

No reports of rain yet. Verstappen, turn 9. One car ahead to go.

Verstappen, turn 12.

OK, mate. We've boxed this lap.

It's a tipper.

And we are boxed into that place.

And we'll stop in front of our garage.

OK, we're going to pit the other set and we're going to go again.

So, Oscar is just out of the final corner now. Sainz is turn 13 or Verstappen turn 11.

Verstappen, turn 12, Hamilton close at exit.

Sainz over the start and finish line.

Time lap is Sainz turn 1. Very light drops around the circuit. Verstappen over the start-finish line.

Sainz just leaving 3.

Then Verstappen turn 2.

Opportunity. Turn 2. Bar zone of braking. Verstappen approaching 6. Now. No-one behind him. Back to Stroll. Turn 3.

One car to go ahead is Ricciardo, turn 12.

Verstappen. Just left 11. Verstappen turn 12.

Verstappen, 13.

Red flag! Red flag!

There's a car off track turn 6.

No, no, there's two minutes 13 remaining.

Yeah, I mean, you can just fuel and let go. Wait if you want. I mean, I'll be very impressed if anyone improves their lap times. They are going to restart the session.

Shall I just go straight down and queue up?

We can't, we've got to come back.

Alright, get down the end. Turn it off.

OK, I'll update you once we know anything.

Who's commuting at the minute?

So you, Hamilton, Oscar and then the Ferraris. And a racing bull somewhere in there as well.

And right. Standby.

So, rain expected at 17.20, which is in five minutes' time.

We think it'll be similar to before, so starting off plus one.

So, Lando, everyone is on used tyres. So the main thing here is we don't make any silly mistakes on our side. Once it goes green, single digits before we go.

And drops of rain reported in the pitlane.

The track is now clear.

Session will restart in just under three minutes' time. We'll fire up with 40 seconds to go. Everyone on used tyres.

One minute to go. So, Lando, we would like to open the lap, therefore we're going to focus on front tyre warm-up. Consider B-switch. Other cars have been told to try and overtake us.

40 seconds to go. Engine start.

20 seconds to go.

Five seconds.

Track should be green.

And tyres on the cold side.

And Hamilton is in turn 5. Box this lap.

Hamilton, turn 9.

We've boxed this lap. Lando, for the moment, I think you can stop in a P1 position in front of the FIA garage. I hope.

Well done. Yeah, well done.
