Radio check for me, Fernando. Yep, Dex, you go. Radio check, Fernando. Yep, both okay. Yep, you're good as well. You're good.

We're in race two for the formation of form.

Yeah, B, form on the run switch. Form.

What forecast do you have then? Just thinking about the front wheel needs.

So there'll be a sprinkling of rain in about 20 laps. Light and then not much for another 10 minutes after that and then more at the moment. Okay, from Graney.

So, Fernando, once the dry line appears, it'll be about you telling us where the wettest place is that stops you making a change.

Fernando, go to diff high speed and just drop it down to 5 just in case it dries enough that that is active in turn 6. So you can drop the high speed down to 5.

And it will be a second gear start now. Second gear. And hold on to your clutch. Slick phase.

No transcript available

That's exactly on target, on target. So, build a bit of a gap before you get to turn 1 and you can lean on the tyres through 1-2-3.

No transcript available

Good weaving down here and then we'll have a hundred metre lift into four. Hundred metre lift into four.

Lean on the tyres through here and more high speed moving to 6.

I could brake into 8. You can scrub the tyres a bit in 8.9.

Keep scrubbing. Into 12.

Into turn 12, just have a 50-metre lift before more weaving on the way up the straight.

So, Fernando, Lance is stuck in the gravel turn 4. We're expecting this to be important, so don't do the burnouts.

We still haven't got any messages.

So start is aborted. Start is aborted.

Engine off, Fernando, engine off. Oh, wait.

They are leaving. What do I do?

Yeah, we have to follow Fernando, we have to follow.

I've got a cool under-run situation. I've got a formation again. Formation. And it's double yellows in turn four.

Let's go two clicks rearward on brake balance from where you are now. Two clicks rearward and then double yellows turn four.

I have a big lift into 4th, so I can scoot in.

So when you get to the grid we'll be stopping and it should be then all of us come back to the grid and be at least 10 minutes.

Copy. No burnouts again? Yeah, correct. No burnouts.

Confirm that because I see Lance's car out of track now.

Yeah, so Fernando, it is proper aborted start, so we're going to come to the grid and we can change tyres and things. So no burnouts, just pull up to your spot. Copy.

Engine off, Fernando.

Do you have the next set here? Yeah. Try to keep the old set or something.

Yeah, so the next set is all good. It's going on. It's nice and hot. Plugged in. Don't worry. And the other set will be perfect by the time we need it, maybe.

So, Fernando, just a final check on flap. I'll take it now. I mean, it's getting quite dry. So, I'm worried to grain the fronts like we always do with the Inters. But, who knows?

We think in 12-13 laps the next bit of rain is going to come.

I think if I gain the fronts, we lose a little bit of time. If I gain the rears, we lose everything. That's what we think. And Jun honestly thinks it's going to be really limited. If you just look after the fronts on the entry to 6. I don't believe it.

Anything from Lance's program to be aware of or careful?

We're not sure. We don't think there's a problem with the car. There was quite a bit of rear locking there.

I had a huge front lock-in. Nearly went 12 holes in turn 4.

We do think minus two on the brake balance, even under the formation.

OK, Fernando, so let's not do the by-point find now to start the formation lap, just to save a bit of engine temp. But you can do it as normal once you come back round.

I can fire up also, closer to the green light.

Yes, Mikey will ask you to fire up a bit later than normal.

There is now a cell that might come a bit earlier.

Could be light lap three or something.

No transcript available

That was good on target, Fernando. Good on target. You just went a bit over in the second half, which is where the wheel's been started. Just taking a bit of a gap and then push through 1-2-3, leaning on the tyres. High speed weaving into 4. Downhill over 150m lift and then a good brake into 4.

No transcript available

I could break into 8. A bit of low-speed scrubbing.

No transcript available

So, there will be a bit of rain very shortly. It will start light and start to build over the first two or three laps.

So 50 meter lift into 12 and then a brake.

It'll be four burnouts. It will be four burnouts.

Use the K0 button before you start.

B-B's will be long. I know, that's about four of them.

There's a bit more rain in the pitlane here now.

KZ before you start, that was good.

OK, so then when you start this race 2 on a run switch, race 2, one bike point find, back to neutral, second gear, second gear, consider one click further, rear wheel don't brake.

Last car on the grid now.

Minus 30. Minus 30.

The rain will get a bit worse now, starting turn 12.

I'm happy to keep cooling the tyres in the straights where you can. Keep cooling them and go for the surface.

You can go to strat 7, it's free. No rush.

Behind Gasly is Verstappen. Verstappen is attacking Gasly.

So the rain is going to get a bit less. A bit less rain for the next 10 or 15 minutes.

So the right-hand side tyres are definitely hot now. Right-hand side tyres hot.

Can I have Strat 11? It's a little bit quicker. Strat 11 is a little bit faster.

The rain should start again in about five minutes. Gently to start with.

So our pace is very strong at the moment. I think we look at saving these tyres a bit to get to the rain, the big rain.

You can go one-click rearward for turn 1. One-click rearward, only turn 1.

And then back one click forward because it's the rear tyres that are very hot.

You can see the back forwards on the right, Lance. Back forwards.

Yeah, right anymore.

It's definitely heavier now on the pit straight. We're watching the leaders. I'll give you any notification if the leaders have problems ahead of you.

So for now, we think this rain for another 10 minutes, this rain for another 10 minutes.

Potentially bigger rain in about 15 minutes. Bigger rain in about 15 minutes. And then rearward brake balance turn one.

Gasly through there. Hulkenberg one behind.

So we're happy with the rearward brake balance, so happy rearward brake balance turn 1.

Reverse forward. Reverse forward.

Forwards, run over the co-pilots.

Strat 7, Fernando. Strat 7.

So, the rain will start picking up shortly and then in about 10 minutes it will be very strong rain, strong rain.

So we think going back forwards for the brake balance, forwards for the brake balance turn 4 is right, but you could consider the white button if you need a bit of rotation. You're on the limit of braking for rear slips.

Yeah, the rain is heavy. I need to be careful with this tyre.

Copy, sign out, cadence uncopied.

It's about two laps until the heavy rain comes. Some cars have put new inters on, which is what I'm thinking.

The pace is definitely slower ahead.

We expect the rain to get worse from here. We expect the rain to get worse from here. Stay out for this lap, but we'll consider it on the next one.

So the heavier rain will only last for about five minutes. Hulkenberg's pitted but he's gone to the back of the queue.

Yeah, there is a lot of planning, but with old tyres, probably.

So safety car window is open. Fully safety car window open.

Do you think fresh tyres, fresh inters? Yes, I think so.

It says stay out just in case the safety car comes. So stay out for this one. Virtual safety car, virtual safety car. Stop. Box this lap. Box, box.

And just get your throttle positive, that's good.

And the tyres which can go to white into R when you're in a pitlane. White into R. Happy with no flap adjust? No flap adjust.

I've got no grip.

OK, just reset the brake balance. You're at minus seven at the moment and it's still virtual safety car.

These tyres might take a bit of warming up, Ferris. It's cool.

There's a lot of rain. We need a safety car for some laps here. If not a red flag, let's see. Let's switch to safety car. Let's switch to safety car. You're good on your delta, right?

Now where is the yellow?

Repeat. Virtual set car is ending. Virtual set car is ending. So back to race 2. Race 2. And you're at minus seven at the moment.

So, everyone is on interest apart from Perez. Perez is on a full wet but everyone else is interest. About two laps like this and then it should get less rain. It's about keeping it on the track. Safety car conditions, please. Safety car. We cannot go full throttle on this straight. Very easy.

Safety car, please.

So we think probably two clicks forward on brake balance. You're being very careful. So Lawson behind is on full wets but he's behind two into drivers and he can't get past.

Safety car, Fernando, safety car. So slow down and watch your delta.

Run switch on the safety car.

We think the rain should start to drop off shortly, in the next minute or two.

Just keep the temperature as best you can. P1, I can't.

So, if we stop now for Inters, we drop two places, sorry, we drop for Full Wets, we drop two places behind Hamilton and then we'd have to stop again fairly quickly after Sainz to come. So, we're thinking we try and make this work.

So we're staying up now. Stay out. The rain is already a bit lighter now.

Fuck, turn 2 and turn 3 is a swimming pool.

Piastri ahead has got a ten second penalty. Tsunoda, who's three ahead of him, has got wet tyres on.

Just for info, that first set of inches was good in terms of wear. It was all OK in terms of wear. The top three cars have stayed out on their first set of inches.

You can get a shape 6, shape 6 just for a bit of brake temp. It's the same balance of what you've got.

So you can ignore the delta now.

2-1-3. Low rain now for the next 10 minutes.

So keep to the left up here.

Limiter. Pit limiter.

So, Fernando, they said it will be a rolling start, therefore we're fitting the extreme wets. I'm not sure how long this will be.

No transcript available

Radio check. Radio check. Radio check, Fernando. Yeah, all good. Yeah, both OK.

So, Fernando, we've left you in a brake balance where you were before the stop. We're okay for the first lap, but we might consider moving forward when we can.

Because you think it was needed, or temperatures, or balance, why you went forward sometimes? Yeah, it's really just the rear slips are very high, and the rear surface, so once it starts drying up, it's to protect the rears, that's why. Copy.

Something like out one, four, plus two on the brake balance. Not better for these laps. Yeah, Fernando, that's why we've got it set now. You're in out one. No, I just moved it. It was in safety car.

We're okay for out two Fernando as well.

Out to two. So basically you're going to follow the safety car around for one lap, he's going to come in and then it's a rolling start.

That's just under one minute to no-no. So you'll follow the safety car around for this first outlap. He'll come in at the end of the outlap and then you'll roll and start racing straight away. Well, I think he should stay one or two laps just to see the main straight, how wet it is.

No, that's not going to happen for him, unless he cooled the safety gas down a bit.

Yeah, we will not know the straight and then 10-2, 10-3 swimming pool without going through there.

Yeah, copy all that for a bit.

Ocon is behind Sergio Cabo. I'll keep up because it will go green at the end of this outlap.

No transcript available

All cars are enters, all cars are enters. Safety cars in turn 9.

So Ocon's making the gap to the safety car now. He is on the exit of 10. It will be race 2, race 2. Just remember the outsider 14's got the sand down.

OK, so you're good on switches. You've got some brake temp. Safety car is entering the pitlane now.

Temperatures are still cold. We're on the cold side, 10 degrees.

Tyres are just about getting to the window now, just about getting to the window on the tyres.

Suggest two clicks forward brake balance for the middle sector. Two clicks forward.

One or two kickflips, one or two.

Safety car, safety car, slow down, slow down. We're staying out.

Sainz is off track at turn 8.

Go to shape 6, shape 6 just to the side to go.

I suggest Strat 6. Strat 6 is better for these conditions. You're in 7 at the moment.

So, exit of turn 6. It is double yellows there.

For info, Fernando, Sainz braked on the white line entry to 8 and had a big snap. Avoid the white line braking late.

You can ignore the delta now for a minute.

Still double yellows around turn 8. That's the slower delta. Double yellows turn 8.

There is another cell of rain in about 20 laps time. So we don't expect any rain for now. And then a short bit of rain in about 20 laps time.

So that is doing a good job for the brake temps. That is doing a good job for the brake temps. Safety car is in this lap. Safety car will be in this lap. Tyres have dropped a bit in this phase, so caution on the first lap.

Go back to shape 1.

Alcon right behind, Alcon right behind.

Brake balance. Ready for the restart and it will be race 2. Ocon's holding a run-up now to P5 for the brake balance.

Mamma mia, they're really looking.

No transcript available

Pull the racing car.

Negative, another negative. Forward on brake lamps for the rest of the lap now. Forward.

Which position are we?

P15, Fernando, P15, with 25 laps to go.

Fuck, man, I mean, incredible. So sad.

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

There is still chances in this race, so let's keep going, head down now.

Strat 11. Strat 11. A little bit quicker.

So you can start to cool the tyres now, Fernando. Cool the tyres where you can.

So we think no more rain to the end of the race. No more.

And use energy out of three as well. Energy out of three.

Ten more laps to go. Ten more laps.

A lot of bouncing. I don't know if I will finish the race, man.

Please check before turn 40. This is normal. This is a bounce.

Three clicks rearwards, three clicks rearwards.

I will finish the race for the mechanics, but they did a very good job today. But my back is hurting, man. This bouncing is not normal.

Yeah, copy mate, copy. At the end of this one, four to go. End of this one, four more.

Strat 10. Strat 10. Two more laps. Two.

Strat 9. Strat 9 and one more lap please mate, one more lap.

Yeah, thank you to all the mechanics. They got it before the race. Outstanding job. You deserve better. But thank you anyway. Thank you guys.

It's the HPB brand offsplits. HPB offsplit.

Set up a medical car, I'll follow you in. I'll be right next to you when you stop.

The guys will be there to hold the car.

P0, Fernando, P0.
