Radio check.

Loud and clear.

So, Charles, everyone on Inter. Lawson here is on New Inter.

On the formation lap we'll just need some cooling into last corner.

Safety car is gone, right?

So it's a normal race procedure, start procedure? Yes, it's a standing start.

You can fire up.

So, reminder, it will be pit limiter on. Mode formation, bite point, clutch test, three red, K2 on, second gear. Three red, second gear.

I didn't do the bite point because we had some problems, I think. We are fine. No worries.

Fifteen seconds.

Five seconds.

As many burnouts as you can. Stroll is in the gravel in turn 4.

And it's double yellow turn 4.

That's going to be an aborted start, I guess. We'll wait for confirmation.

Track is drying up so quickly.

Is Stroll still stuck? Yes.

Still no info. Last car is on the grid.

Mode formation. No, switch off. Switch off.

Norris wet. No, no, I stay there. And I switch off, right? Follow the others now because they've done the mistake.

And try to cool down the car, please.

Yeah, that's not following the rules, so must go through before the light.

Double yellow in turn B.

So, now we will do another repeat of the start procedure, so 10 minutes countdown and we're coming there with a new set.

I have switch off, right?

Loud and clear, Charles. On my way. Yeah. I switch off, right? Switch off.

And then ignition on.

We are changing set, Brad.

Yes, so we're waiting for them to give us the restart time and we're bringing a new set of intakes.

How does it work for fuel? Because I guess an aborted lap doesn't... Does it add one more lap to the race?

All the racers shorter.

We're now the first drop coming.

Repeat, Charles. First drops coming at what time?

So it's in about 10 minutes. So it's now shortened 10 minutes.

Start time? We've got seven minutes to the start of the race. So it's going to be quite early in the start of the race.

And, er, low phase, right? For the first step? Affirm. OK.

If you can, multi-function strat 4.

And brake balance minus one from where you're now.

Brando, good.

Yes, all good.

Four minutes.

Just next time write it as a note to remember the ventola for me. Will do. Extra procedure like that.

So in the next 10 minutes we expect the rain coming from turn 11, 12, 13.

I will update on the intensity later.

12.4, I guess.

So the easiest one is coming from turn 11-12. From turn 11-12. They are the first corners that will get wet.

Yeah, I guess that's 12 and 4, more than 12 and 11. It needs to go over 4. Yes, yes. You're right.

Pitlane in the turn.

You can fire up.

Pit limiter on. Mode formation, bite point, clutch test, three red, second gear.

Fifteen seconds.

Spots in the pitlane now. Spots in the pitlane now. Rain is soon. Five seconds.

Burn out as many as you can and target 3 red.

Last car is on the grid. Second gear.

K2 off.

Class 1 rain for now. Same like this for a bit.

Squawk 148. There's a 148. Still class 1 rain.

Tyres are ready. Multifunction RB position 1. When you can, RB position 1.

We expect this amount of rain for another three laps. Sector 3 the worst.

Sector 3 is low intensity now. Cross 1 to 2.

We expect this class 1 until lap 20. We've completed six laps. The target is to reach to lap 20, so take care. Russell P1, 24.7.

Diff mid minus one and S1 for turn 8. Suggestion.

We are fast but very difficult to get closer.

Copy. We just need to keep good tyres for later on. Be patient.

Russell 24.2.

Lawson behind, slowing down Max. People have been able to overtake on the inside of turn 1.

Verstappen car behind 2.8.

Max 1.4 behind.

Anticipate braking turn 12 for much better exit.

More rain in sector 3 now. More rain. Class 2.

Class 223, turn 12.

Class 3 rain in our sector and a bit in turn 4.

We expect intensity to drop in two to three laps.

Class 1 to 2, sector 3. Class 2, sector 1. Reducing.

So we expect this class 1 for seven laps and then again class 2 later on. So we stay until the next rain.

We are fast out of the last corner. Copy. Class one for the next three laps, then potentially some class one to two.

Ocon is braking earlier into turn 12 and then improving the exit.

I'm faster overall, right? It's at 12.

Class 2-3 in 5-6 laps.

Class 1-2 rain in 2-3 laps and then class 2-3 after it.

Switch position yellow.

Whenever we can box for free, I will take it.

We need to wait for this heavier rain when everyone will start to pit.

Box, Charles, box.

Box. Watch the white line. Careful with the braking.

Same flap. Yes.

Pitlane. Copy.

K2 on until turn 4.

Is it free here?

We're close to Behrman. P2 till turn 4.

Class 2-3 rain in sector 3 now, increasing.

Class 2 rain now into turn 12.

Yeah, uh, that's quite a lot of traffic now.

Heavier right now.

Multifunction D.O. position 10.

We stay out. Stay out.

What? Yeah.

I'm in the shit. I'm in traffic. I don't get this one.

Class 4 intensity now.

Double yellow area now.

We need secondary F-C position 7.

Boys, can we try and avoid these changes? Virtual safety car ending, virtual K2 on for the restart. That's going to be very tricky.

National Red Flag. There's going to be a big shot.

Let's stick in there. This will last two to three laps.

Racing Tsunoda on exit. He just pitted.

Forward tyre. I'm going to struggle to start track.

He's on ex-wets, but we expect this heavy rain to reduce. This is the worst.

Decreasing rain now in sector 3. Class 2-3. It was a 4.

Ruiz on the first.

Everyone except Tsunoda and Perez and Lawson. So everyone still on Inter, Zhou now on Exwitz.

Please stay out. And safety car deployed.

Mode SC and charge button off. No one. No one. I think they know the rain is going to reduce. So they're just going to slow the race down now.

Charge off.

And let's always target zero and warm the tyres, maximise full throttle where you can.

Class 1 in the pitlane now. It has reduced.

No transcript available

Should be class one now in sector three. Yes, but Brian, you have noise.

Try your best. Everyone complaining that's not drivable.

And that is not drivable. If they restart the race, it's going to be a huge mess. Just concentrate and let's keep it on track for now.

Multifunction RB position 6.

What is the intensity now? I don't see. Very tiny drops now. Very low, so the water you have is from before.

When you switch off, then P0.

I get out the car. Yes.

He's already left the garage. He's on his way to you.

All right, you're checked.

Yeah, right on clear.

Erm...

Try a phase, Brian.

Johannes, for the tools, where do you want me to start again? I'll take the second stint in the middle of second stint for reference.

For lap one, my suggestion is brake shape minus one compared to where you are now.

Okay, and then getting worse.

Copy that.

So now the safety car will do the outlap with the safety car. Then the safety car will do another lap or will come straight in, in the outlap.

Yeah, I don't know what means one lap. I mean, is it a full lap after the outlap or is it just one lap it goes out and it comes in?

Ah, don't worry about it. I'll just...

We think it will be in in this lap, but we will confirm.

It will just be K2 for the restart. Everyone on inters.

And K2 on for the restart.

Safety car in the pitlane.

Norris 1.7 ahead, Piastri 1.3 behind.

Tyres are still cold, so we need to be patient and bring them into temperature.

And tyres still cold but ramping up. Harkon P1, 26.9.

Avoid kerb turn 3. Kerb turn 3. Park on P1, 25.7.

Brake balance minus one. Lap times are four inters, similar to the start of the race. Similar pace. Yeah, everything seems worse. I'll push as much as I would like to.

Stay out. Stay out. Carlos went wide into turn 78.

Where you can maximise full throttle.

And people are slipping over the white lines. Try and keep temperature by maximising full throttle where you can.

OK, for you, if I do a little bit of throttle, braking, over and up? Yes, temperatures are fine for now.

Mode SC and charge button off.

So, should be dry for now. There is another band of rain potential for the end of the race. And charge button on.

You're doing a good job. Keep maximising full throttle, weaving and brake overlap.

Safety car in this lap. Safety car in this lap. Charge button on and mode race.

It will be K2 on for the restart.

Mk2 on for the restart.

Safety car in the pitlane now.

That was nice. Come on, B4.

Tyres still cold, Charles.

This was better, Charles. Nice and clean. Tyres are slowly coming up.

Multifunction RB position 1. Tyres are in the window.

Norris, no point four behind.

Russell, 22.8.

And diff in plus one. This is more like it.

I'm deaf mid plus one. Deaf mid plus one.

So, Gasly, similar lap time to us. Russell ahead one second faster for now.

What is your limitation of front and rear or both axles? Horrible. I hate it. Horrible. I have a high speed rear axle. Horrible.

Gasly, 22.9.

This is good.

Gasly, 22.5.

Right toggle for turn 6.

Diff mid minus one and keep the right toggle in six. It's good for stability.

Fourteen laps to go. Fourteen. Gasly 22.7.

Gasly, 22.7.

Gasly, 22.5.

This is a good lap, Charles. Gasly, 22.4.

Another good lap. You're starting to lap faster than the Alpines now.

Gasly, 22.1.

Easy entry turn 10. Gasly 22.2.

Gasly, 22.1.

Six laps to go. Gasly 21.8.

What's he doing? That's a slab.

Max now 21.0.

Gasly, 21.8.

And Norris 2.8 behind. This lap was slightly slower.

Norris 2.2 behind. Two laps to go. Keep it clean.

Last lap. Gasly 21.9.

P5. P5.

Charge button on.

Copy. Copy. Pass. Overall review, all that pace was clearly missing today. Let's look at it. I struggled a lot. The reels, for some reason, from Qualy this morning, was incredibly difficult to manage. Anyway.

Thank you. It's been a long race. You stood in that.

P0.

T-0.
