Ready to check.

Yeah, I think it makes sense.

I agree.

Yep.

Copy.

Copy.

Who's from the pitlane then? Only Sainz.

Copy.

Let's keep the blankets as tidy as possible.

Let's do it. There are going to be big points on the table today. Let's be on it. Good crumbs.

No transcript available

I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90.

Set out again.

Yeah, there is someone up there. That's not Martin.

OK, tyre temps looking good. So after the DRS line, we'll get a rolling bite point learn.

And then we would do five burnouts.

Stroll is stuck in the gravel, so be prepared for another formation lap.

Check if everything is ok at the rear because steering is a bit bad.

Everything looks good from our side, mate.

Oh, there's Hamilton in front of me.

Okay, last car on the grid. We've got it, mate.

Okay, we have an aborted start.

Okay, so everybody's going, so we need to follow the pack. Can I go? Like, what the fuck is Bottas doing? Yeah, so the procedure hasn't been followed correctly. Could I overtake Bottas or not? Could I go? What's going on? Can I overtake Bottas?

OK, so we need to go, mate. We need to try and follow the pack and return to the grid. OK, can I overtake Bottas?

OK, we need recharge on.

Let's cool the car when we can.

Double yellow where you are.

Brake pedals well off.

OK, temperatures are OK. We'll take a look.

Okay, so we're going to return to the grid.

OK, so we need to grid up P13.

And then we think they're going to abort the start, in which case you should switch off.

Should I switch off or...? Okay, don't switch off yet.

OK, so let's switch off.

Okay, let's change the tyres. Yeah, so we can switch off and we will be joining you on the grid shortly. Okay, let's just get some other tyres. Yeah, so we've got just less than 10 minutes to go, so we're bringing blankets now.

I don't know why I can't check the car first, different left and right corner. OK, we'll have Dom go through the data and we'll take a look at that brake log. Yeah.

And Bottas, yeah.

Not too sure about rejoining his position though.

If you can bring a fan or a cooler for me, please.

And I struggled a bit with the front tyres, yeah. Some chattering on that first lap. I think they're quite cold.

And, yeah.

How is the temperature arriving on the grid compared to the other car?

Yeah, I had a chance to put new tyres on.

And can we just check the flap, because the car felt a bit odd.

What happened to Stroll? I just saw him with the brake off.

Thank you.

What's the rain looking like? It's already on that lap. It's dry on the inside line.

Just to include, but I'm sure you guys know it, but yeah, even if the crossover on track is one thing, but the pit exit is going to be completely wet, so...

So you say the first mark to start I need to hold for longer, right?

Copy.

Should I try to stay constant, like no increase of throttle while I hold the clutch?

Do you want another bind on it?

No transcript available

Temperature right on my dash. 41°C front left, 50°C front right.

The temperature on my dash is correct. I've got the front right at 50°C but the front left at 40°C.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

No transcript available

High slip out of 10.

Okay mate, you're doing a good job on the tyres. So after DRS, rolling by point learn and then five burnouts.

Okay, last car on the grid.

Gap to Hamilton, 0.8. Alonso ahead, 0.8.

Ok, tyres are in the window.

Okay, so Gap to Verstappen behind 0.8 and then 0.6 to Alonso.

Verstappen behind 0.6.

Okay, some time to gain braking for turn 6.

I have a lot of fun at the airport.

Ok mate, for turn 4 we go exit 11. Exit 11.

Okay, gap to Hamilton, 0.6.

Rain intensity getting lower. Let's go to exit on the cooker knob. Exit.

Okay, we'd like to cool the rear right where you can.

Okay, so we're looking to cool the rear tyres where we can. And we have SOC 8 available. SOC 8 for quicker charge.

Ok, so tyre management looking good. Hamilton 0.9 behind.

We're expecting heavier rain in about 30 minutes.

Yeah, tell me in real sleep everything is good. Just try to give me some feedback. Copy, mate.

Ok, so turn 3 could be a place to do a bit more management. Happy with management in 11.

We brake offset. So we're happy where you are.

Okay, so Alonso 1.3 ahead, Hamilton 0.8 behind. Yeah, GPS.

Ok mate, you're doing a good job. You can focus on exit of 4 and 6, but you were four tenths quicker than Alonso.

Okay, double yellow where you are. Hamilton off behind.

Okay, so car behind now, Hulkenberg, three seconds.

OK, lap time is very similar to the other car.

Okay, so we still think 20 minutes until heavier rain. How are the tyres? It's raining more. Right now it's raining more. Copy that.

Okay, so Alonso ahead three seconds, Hulkenberg 1.1.

I had too fierce with the other car.

Ok mate, last lap was identical to Esteban. Compared to the cars around, exit of 4, braking for 6.

There must be corners where there is time. So, mid-corner turn 6 compared to Hulkenberg.

And that lap was two tenths quicker than Esteban, one tenth faster than Hulkenberg.

Ok, gap behind increasing.

Okay, so car behind is Alonso, 1.4, still turn 6. It's very similar to Esteban, but compared to Tsunoda and Hulkenberg, could go a bit quicker mid-corner.

You're seven tenths faster than Esteban last lap.

OK, so expect some heavier rain in about 15 minutes.

Okay, you've got Piastri and Lassen ahead. You're catching them three tenths of a lap.

Okay, mid-corner of six and mid-corner of nine compared to Lawson, a little bit of time.

Okay mate, so you're still catching the guys ahead about two to three tenths a lap and pulling away from Alonso.

Ok mate, how's the balance so far?

Okay, going towards the middle of understeer. Copy.

Okay, we've got mid four available, mid four.

My mates are still doing a good job, ten quicker than the guys ahead and Esteban.

Okay, copy mate.

Okay, so gap to Alonso 2.2. Still some time in turn 6 mid-corner.

And that lap 4 tenths quicker than Lassen ahead.

Ok, Pierre, how are the tyres? I was thinking about this heavier rain.

Oh, ok. Ok.

Okay, so we've got heavier rain coming in the next three minutes or so. Expect it to last for ten minutes.

Ok mate, you're doing a good job. You're quicker than the guys ahead.

OK mate, nice work. So, Verstappen the car ahead. We're coming in P6.

I'm facing the guys ahead. I'm facing the guys ahead. Stand by.

Lap times. Lap times followed by this heavy rain. Lap times followed by this heavy rain. Thank you for your attention everybody.

Okay, so it's currently a yellow in turn 1. BSC, BSC, recharge on, no overtaking. Okay, so... Yes, watch yellow turn 1, double yellow.

OK, so we've got heavy rain expected for the next 30 minutes and then up the tyre racing afterwards. How are the tyres? OK? They're stopped. OK. They're stopped.

Are you happy with the balance? I am happy with the balance.

Just grab me.

If there is something to gain, I'm happy to hold on. Ok, what we've gained is potentially just... What we've gained is potentially just allowing us all the tyres to the end. Allowing us all the tyres to the end.

I cannot gain more if we stay out on it. Do you think we can stay out and make it through this? Do you think we can stay out and make it through this? I think it's going to be red cycling, so...

Mach IBSC ending. Stay out. Mach IBSC ending. Stay out. Ready for you to restart.

So, let's keep an eye on the delta.

And we're staying out.

I have understeer.

We need recharge on.

Ok, we've still got some guys stayed out. Do you think you can keep it on track?

Russell and Norris behind on Inter.

Please repeat. They got a red flag, that thing. Way too much water, aquaplaning everywhere.

Ok, we think the rain is going to decrease in about four minutes. If you think you can manage and stay out, we will. But if you need a full wet, let us know.

OK, safety car recharge on. Safety car, no overtaking. We're currently in P3.

We've got five cars on extremes, the rest on inters. Man, it's way too much. If we can survive under safety car, we'll stay out. If we can survive, we stay out.

Yeah, even now, right now it's... I'll try to survive otherwise lose everything, but even in second gear I... it's like... I don't know if you see, but I just have...

OK, so we've got the safety car deployed.

This will buy us a few laps. We do expect the rain to decrease in two minutes.

Anything we can do for front temperature.

Fuck, I fucking lost 50 kph.

OK, so still only five cars on WETS, everyone else on INTERS.

OK, so we think the rain will drop in intensity from now. We still think we should try and stay out if possible.

Brake is reducing in the pitlane. Yeah, but it's lagging quite a bit. Guaranteed sun.

Way too much standing water.

Especially in the last corner, turn 14. Ok mate, so we're in contact with race control. We're on it.

So if we can go forwards on bias to put some temperature in the front.

And let's overdrive the front, so as much weaving as you can get.

The tyre rev up into the wall mate.

Okay, keep doing what you can. I can't see anything. I don't even have control of the car right now at like 70 kph. Okay. Visibility is low. Copy.

And we're boxing this lap, so we'll follow the safety car in.

And we'll line up in the fast lane.

OK, so let's follow the cars ahead until pit exit.

You want P1? Ok, so we can switch off. So this is going to be delayed for the recovery of the car and for conditions. We'll get our normal restart warning. Copy, I'll jump out quickly. Yep, happy to jump out. So I stay in P1 or P0?

Yeah, standby mate.

Come out. The car is in P1.

Brake check.

Coupe, what is the situation with the restart?

Rolling start is a mandatory wetter. You can choose the inter.

I do not understand what tyre you have on.

Copy. New ones.

How many more laps?

Radio is poor. Radio is poor.

Yeah, let's try to be on it with the tyre. The egg is going to be a longer stint, so based on Lando Norris' comment, put a bit more front graining, so if you guys can just keep tracking it and let's be proactive and react to it.

So do we follow safety codes?

Yeah, let's do it, guys.

How was the pace of Norris and Russell on the first part of the race?

I can't hear anything. Didn't get a word.

OK, mate. Five seconds.

I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90.

Ok mate, so we can work the tyres, work the fronts.

No transcript available

Okay, so it'll be a rolling start, so the safety car will come in at the end of the lap.

OK, so safety car lights should be out. It'll be coming in this lap. Leader sets the pace. Reminder for recharge off before the start. Tyres looking good.

Okay, Verstappen 3.8 ahead, Russell 2.4 behind. During the previous stint your pace matched Russell and Norris.

Okay, gap to Russell 2.6.

And time to gain exit of turn 4 and turn 10 compared to Russell.

Okay, I'm happy to keep pushing mate. Tyres are coming up.

Gap behind 3.1. Main places to gain corner exit.

Turn three.

Okay Pierre, we can go scenario 1.

OK, so you're pulling away from Russell. Let's keep focusing on exits. Exit of 9 and 10.

Ok mate, that last lap was the same pace as Verstappen and Esteban ahead.

I have a lot of grip. OK, we're on it.

Ok, my equipment is under control. Should improve.

OK, so we can focus on exit of 10.

OK, so Russell 3.4. Safety car recharge on. No overtaking. Safety car.

So, let's keep an eye on your delta. We're staying out. Stay positive on your delta.

Let's just try and keep temp in the tyres, especially the fronts.

We've got some time to gain under braking for turn 6 compared to Esteban.

Roughly 10 to 15 meters.

You're doing a good job so far.

Weather-wise, we're just expecting a few drops for the next 30 minutes, no more. We don't expect it to increase.

Okay, we've got 29 laps to go after this one.

Just trying to keep some temp in those tyres if you can.

Ok, so it looks like Carlos is braking on the painted white lines, so be cautious out there.

And let's get PU2 position 1. PU2 position 1.

Okay, you're doing a good job on tyres. I just want to try and keep as much temp in as we can. Doing a better job than the other car.

Okay mate, how's the balance so far?

It's mainly getting the tyres in the temperature. Bounce is a small grip. OK, copy.

Ok, so we think the next 19 laps or so should just be a few drops of rain. There might be more rain coming around lap 60.

So you did a good job this first step. Let's just keep looking after these tyres.

OK, mate. Safety car in this lap. So, let's start working those fronts. We can overslip them.

Okay, so overtake will be available on the restart.

Will I have a clip to end 1-0?

Okay, there might be a small clip at turn one.

Tyres are looking good.

Okay, safety car on turn 13 now.

Let's get ready for the restart. Reminder for recharge off.

Okay, so car behind is Leclerc. 1.8 seconds back in the first stint. You guys were the same pace.

Okay, gap to Leclerc 2.2, Esteban 1.7.

Time to gain turn 6. Suggest using 5th gear.

Okay, gap to Leclerc behind increasing.

Esteban, last lap 23.8. Leclerc 24.4.

Okay, car behind now Russell. Gap is 4.4.

Okay, Esteban, last lap 23.4.

We are the France. Why can't I say the France? Okay, so gap to Russell 3.7.

Ok, so we need to try and protect the front right. Turn 4, turn 11. Let's focus on exit of turn 4.

OK, we've got torque 10 available. Torque 10.

Okay, so you've got the back right if needed for more rotation. Could try that in 4. How's the balance in 7? At 4, everything's full understeer.

OK, we've got exit 10. Let's try exit 10.

Okay, so you've got exit 10 available.

Esteban, last lap, 22.7.

Okay, so gap to Russell behind 1.4.

Why don't I get any GPS? OK, so last lap was a tenth quicker than Esteban.

Time to gain exit of six.

Okay, compared to Russell behind, mid-corner of 2 and exit of turn 2.

Last lap was purple sector 1.

Did a good job.

So, lap time the same as Esteban, just turn 6, exit.

OK mate, you're doing a good job. You're 10 quicker than Esteban ahead. Let's focus on exit of 12.

Okay mate, so where you can, think about getting some wet patches for this rear right. We've got 14 laps remaining.

Got a gap to Russell behind 0.8.

You're doing a good job, mate. Still quicker than Esteban.

Russell behind, pushing harder in 11, but we need you to manage there.

Gap to Russell 1.2. We're not expecting any more rain, maybe just a few drops to the end.

Okay, so gap behind 1.3. Russell's been advised to use overtake out of 12. We also have overtake available if needed.

So, gap behind 1.0.

We've got 10 laps remaining.

So last lap sector 2 was within a tenth of Esteban.

Okay, gap to Russell 1.0. A little bit of time to gain mid-corner turn 9.

Okay, gap to Russell 0.9.

Okay, where we can, let's try and cool the right side tyres, right side.

OK, gap to Russell 1.0.

Last lap, same pace as Esteban.

Gap to Russell 1.1. There'll be six laps remaining.

Last lap, two tenths quicker than Esteban and one tenth quicker than Russell.

Gap to Russell now 1.2. Five laps to go. Let's just think about protecting these right tyres. Let's make it to the end.

Gap to Russell 1.2.

Gap to Russell 1.2.

Okay, gap to Russell 1.3.

Two laps to go.

Gap 1.2.

Okay, this is the final lap. We have overtake available. Turn 12, press and hold.

Gap behind 0.9.

OK, that is the chequered flag, mate. Historical. That's historical. Incredible. Very good job, guys. Historical. Well done, mate. Absolutely well done. Well driven today from where we started to be here now. Double podium as a team. Thank you very much.

So we need scenario 10. Let's go scenario 10 and we need to save fuel.

Normal in-lap, scenario 10.

And then we'll be stopping at the podium.

What a race. P13 to P3. Amazing job, man. Thank you very much. Very well driven.

Okay, so Verstappen won the race from Esteban and yourself, Russell P4, Leclerc P5, Norris in 6th, Tsunoda 7th, Piastri 8th, Lawson and Hamilton rounding out the top ten.

It's been a strong weekend, mate. Thank you very much.

Yeah, very good weekend. Very good, guys. Shame about this morning, but we recovered and, yeah, they've been, yeah, same, so P2, P3, amazing job. That's why we should never give up. It's never over. Nobody would have predicted it, but fucking made it happen. Good job, guys. It was worth it. It was definitely worth it. It's not too difficult at five in the morning this morning on the alarm on target. Exactly. If that's not worth waking up early for, I don't know what is.

Okay, so let's follow Verstappen and Esteban to the podium and then we can follow the normal switch-off procedures once there.
