Bottas, 2.

Next car is Joe, Joe 4.

What strat do you want? We think there could be one lap before the rain, so suggest strat 2. Strat 2 could be some rain after you've done one lap. Watch for Joe.

Next car, Gasly 5. Gasly 5. White H14 position 10. White H14 10.

Gasly 2.

Watch for Gasly. 2.

So, currently P2. Currently P2. Sainz P1, 17.2.

Bottas three seconds behind.

Last lap. Main opportunity is turn 8 and 9. Slightly heavier rain. Pitlane and start finish straight.

Next car is Joe. 14 seconds.

Currently yellow is turn 1. That car is moving, Oscar. You have an 8 second gap behind to Leclerc. Track clear. Track clear.

Past one pitlane. Still P3.

I think the rain is getting a little bit heavier now.

Hong Kong should be pushing 12.

Watch for Ocon. 3. Opportunity is set to 3. Braking later and harder into turn 12 than the other car.

Brane reported to be increasing around the circuit.

Consider red, mid, 6. Red, mid, 6.

Oscar, how are the conditions?

I mean, it's still raining, it's hard to know if it's getting better or worse. I definitely don't think it's getting better, but I can't tell if it's getting worse either. Copy.

I think the sector is getting worse.

Leclerc, five seconds behind, should be in phase. How are the conditions now? We think some top teams are pitting because conditions are getting worse. Yeah. Just watch for Leclerc. Watch for Leclerc. No, Leclerc in phase. Red flag, Oscar, red flag.

So, no overtaking. Recharge on is good. Delta positive. We're boxed this lap.

This is for Perez in the barriers at the exit of turn 8.

And red button, red button.

Oscar, just be careful, the pitlane may be wetter.

Stop in front of our garage.

I'll skip to that.

That's one minute to delta zero.

Russell was not faster. Zhou is faster middle sector.

30 seconds to delta zero.

10 seconds to delta zero.

Delta zero now.

Tyres behind are in phase at the moment.

Is DRS enabled or no?

DRS is still disabled. They need to enable it. It's silly that it's not enabled. It's dry.

Sixteen seconds to the flag. That's gap.

Max delta is zero. There are five cars to open laps. First car on a push lap is Verstappen. So far, not many cars are improving.

I need to know if I need to box because this is going to be a miss. Box, box if you can.

Copy, box.

I'll skip it then. Stop in front of the garage.

You're safe, Oscar.

OK, Sainz ran a used 17.0.

Track clear.

I suggest a quicker outlap to get front temperature. Priority front right.

Overtake is available if you need on the outlap.

Measured wind is very low.

Okay, manage your gap. Clear behind.

Okay, that's P2. Red button, we're boxed this lap.

Copy, box.

I was behind them in phase.

OK, box. Lap box now.

Copy books.

Stop and counter the garage.

No transcript available

Okay, one minute to delta zero.

Thirty seconds to delta zero.

My friend has been complaining about timings. He may try to overtake.

Albon is about to open a lap. That's the car to watch. Albon crossing start finish now. Watch for Hulkenberg.

Next car, Sargeant, start finish line now. Five seconds.

Sergeant plus three. Maximum delta is minus one. Maximum delta minus one.

Watch for Sargeant.

Magnussen is in phase behind. Magnussen is in phase looking to get an out lap.

Magnussen is the last car on an outlap. Oscar Magnussen is the last car on an outlap.

Next car on the pushlap is Ricardo 7. Are we safe or no?

Ricciardo, 4. Not yet, Oscar.

Watch for Ricciardo. You have Leclerc. 7.

We are safe. Your call to continue.

Yes. Oscar, red button and box this lap.

Copy, box.

Oscar Pilar.

Stop in front of the garage.

Track rules go green in 5.

Okay, car ahead to Verstappen. Red button once you're out of the pitlane.

Okay, red button to box this lap.

Watch Ricciardo. 3.

Oscar, you can keep the pace up on the in lap. If there's rain expected, then we'll turn the car around quickly and get out for the second set.

Confirm. Stroll is pushing 11.

So, box now.

Copy, box. Couple of drops on my visor. Understood. Stop in front of the garage.

Okay, you've got loads of time. You're the lead car. The key thing here is what we can do before these spots of rain and how heavy that rain is. It doesn't look like it's going to be super heavy on the radar.

So I would assume you can do a normal good outlap. I wouldn't rush the outlap.

So, target delta zero.

And no change to wind. Wind intensity still the same. And still dry in pitlane, no rain here.

OK, recharge on no red button. We have boxed this lap. Look after the fuel drive to the delta. Delta negative close to zero. Currently P2.

Currently double yellows, turn 8. Double yellows from turn 5. Double yellows.

And that's a red flag, red flag. Watch for Tsunoda up ahead. Turn 6. Oscar, you are P2. P2. So, delta positive now. Free charge on is good. Just look after the fuel.

Copy. I'm guessing that's it. That's it done? There is 2 minutes 13 left, so I don't think anyone's got new tyres, but people could try and run again. So box this lap and stop in front of our garage. Copy.

Oscar, we think the FIA barriers are out. We think the FIA barriers are out. You're coming back into the pits.

I think they are removing the barriers, so I think you'll be able to get back to our garage. But just see what there is in terms of barriers in pit entry. Just go slow. Have a look. Copy.

I'll skip the pitlane and come to the box. Yeah. Stop in front of our garage.

When you get there, you can switch the power unit off. We do not have a restart time yet. I think there's Lando and one of the Mercedes ahead of you. Well, Hamilton is the only Mercedes, so Lando and Hamilton ahead of you.

Okay, I don't have a restart time yet.

So, Oscar, when the session does restart, you will be on delta zero plus 35.

Do not leave a larger than single digit gap to Hamilton, either when you leave the pits or when you cross safety car line 2. Be aware that others may try and race you on the outlap and we do want to start this lap.

Yep. OK.

Rain is expected in five minutes' time.

So, Oscar, all cars down there are on used tyres.

Yep, copy. It's raining a bit here in the pitlane. Yep, copy. So, highly unlikely that we'll be able to improve our time, but we do want to be one of the cars that opens a lap.

High priority here, Oscar, is I'm not getting any sporting infringements or penalties. That means not excessively impeding cars in the pit exit. That's why I keep telling you about not being into like double digit gaps or something.

Yeah, that's all good.

At the moment we still don't have a restart time, expecting rain in about three and a half minutes, so let's just keep an eye on the conditions.

Okay, they've said the track is clear. We still do not have a restart time. Rain expected in a couple of minutes.

Okay. Session will restart in three minutes. Session will restart in three minutes. DRS enabled.

90 seconds.

A few drops around the track reported now.

One minute to go.

Oscar, we'll fire up at 20 seconds to go.

30 seconds. So, Ricciardo, I believe, is the car behind you. I can't tell if it's Ricciardo or Tsunoda, but they're 9th and 10th. They will want to open laps. 20 seconds, engine start. I think Tsunoda's missing a couple of wheels, so I don't think he'll be doing many laps. I guess that's fair. 10 seconds now.

And should go green now.

Delta zero plus 20.

Delta zero plus ten.

Ricciardo has been told to keep the pressure on.

Delta zero now.

Delta minus 10.

Max delta minus nine. Max delta minus nine.

Hamilton, seven seconds ahead.

Ricciardo has been told to pass you.

Behind him, Stroll, Leclerc and Sainz have left the pits. Everyone else stayed in the garage.

Front tyres are cold, so take care into turn 1.

Consider 1% rearward brake balance. Max delta minus nine.

Okay, if you're backing off, watch for Ricardo 3. Stroll close behind him and Leclerc three seconds behind Stroll.

Oscar, we can box. Box now, box.

Box for Ricciardo. Copy, box.

And stop at the P2 board in front of the FIA.

Good job, mate. Front right. Very nice. Let's go from there. Remember to turn the car fully off.
