Twelve minutes to go. Twelve.

Ten minutes. Ten minutes to go.

Eight minutes, eight to go.

You want brake warming for formation lap or maybe... Yeah, Zhou, we can keep speed. Already we opened the exit, now you are in exit 8. And also we opened the pedal, now you are in pedal 10. For the first, now you are in pedal descent. Plus first lap, we are going to keep descent. Just for the first lap, to not get any surprises. Okay, B-MIC, first lap, B-MIC 2 or... B-MIC 3, B-MIC 3 because it looks like it's getting drier. So we are happy to start already B-MIC 3. Six minutes to go, six minutes. Copy, EB, you are keeping 4 or 3? What was your feeling? I think EB4 is working nice.

I mean, it's quite low, no? So we can keep... Exactly, you can keep it before.

Also the special looked OK. 489 in case you need it. Special 2.

It's important to get me updated with the weather conditions because I need to know when the shower could be with my tyre management.

When you say something is coming, maybe 10 minutes before, just let me know.

Four minutes to go. Four minutes.

Three minutes to go. Three minutes.

Turning 4. Everybody's on inter.

Copy. It's a new set here.

Two minutes. Two minutes to go.

So just position 1 to 7 are on use inter. Norris used, Russell used, Tsunoda used, Ocon used, Lawson P5 is new, Leclerc used, Piastri used on P7. Everybody else is new.

One minute and twenty seconds.

Happy with my bias for lap 1. 6.5 with P-Mixer. Happy.

One minute to go. One minute.

30 seconds. 30.

Fifteen seconds.

Five seconds. Good luck.

Yellow ahead. Stroll has gone off.

It's now reversing. OK.

Mode F-lap.

With the second gear, two burnouts and you wear plus two.

Stroll is still on the gravel.

Start aborted. I do an easy pull away, I guess, for the clutch.

Start aborted. Don't pull away, don't pull away.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. We don't pull away. Wait, don't pull away. Don't pull away. It's not an extra formation lap. It's an aborted start. Yes, I'm waiting. Easy, easy. Just wait.

Am I just waiting on the grid now? Yes, at the moment.

People are going. We're going.

Pull away, pull away, gently pull away and cool your engine.

Mate, what's going on here?

Cool the clutch, so minimise clutch usage and we need 100m lift and coast, corner 4 to cool the power unit.

And we're going back to the original grid position. Yes.

Engine is good.

So we're going to the original position. We will switch off the car and the restart will be in about 10 minutes. 10 minutes? Yes, yes.

Okay, the car is quite understeer, guys. Copy that.

I switch off. Switch off but keep high voltage on.

Because there was some debris on track of Lance Stroll's crash, that's why, or?

No debris there, just clear in this car.

Low speed. I think the diff is still quite locked. If we don't touch the flap, then we need to do something with the diff. Copy that.

Of course this on radio is really bad quality.

I think so, yeah. I think so, yeah. What do you guys think?

Eight minutes to go. Eight minutes.

Seven minutes to go. Seven minutes to go. Tyres have to be disconnected if they are connected in two minutes.

Shall we go dip zero? Shall we go... I don't know. Yeah, I think that entry plus one, mid-zero, we can try.

Yeah, lap one I go a bit easy, but then I will open that. Yeah, also from lap two onwards we can drop the pedal to pedal eight.

Six minutes to go. Six minutes.

What was the reason of delaying because of a car off track? Disconnect the blankets if they are connected. Disconnect them now. You have 20 seconds.

Yeah, Joe, Stroll was just on the gravel. So they need to remove the car.

Five minutes. Five minutes to go.

Normal start, formation lap or pull away?

Four minutes, four minutes to go. So it's normal formation lap followed by a normal standing start.

Three minutes. Three minutes to go.

And two minutes, two minutes to go.

One minute and twenty seconds. One minute and twenty.

Can somebody take my tee offs?

One minute to go. One minute.

30 seconds. 30.

How long do we expect the rain?

Fifteen seconds to go. Fifteen seconds. We think fourteen minutes.

Five seconds to go.

Work the tyres, you can speed up a little.

And caught the clutch.

And just for info, everybody is still on inters.

Anywhere plus two. Use second gear, two burnouts.

Some spits of rain in the pitlane and up to corner 4.

RS off. Autorace.

Overtake available.

Crucial entry, mid, plus one.

I have no grip at all.

Copy that. It's a long, it's a long stint. Here we come up.

Drop entry and mid two steps. You went the other way around.

Beaming 3 and pedal 9.

Yellow head. Truck clear.

So that's special 2, corner 8 and 9 and E-B6.

My friends, luck of the devil.

Brake comp 1.

Tyres are good. RS26.3.

When you go back on the exit, this exit is rough.

And you can brake later on corner 1 and 4.

Avoid white line. Exit corner 12. That's the snap-through.

Let's start cooling the tyres on the wet patch.

Use the wet patches here.

You can brake 15 meters later to corner one and four. Berman, seven ahead of you, has got a ten seconds time penalty.

Perez 125.2.

That was a good start. Perez six ahead.

So just entry zero and keep using the white patches.

Perez was 24.9, he's putting pressure on Behrmann.

Yellow corner 12 ahead.

Hamilton is off. We see some sprays of rain.

Require front locking if I push the brakes.

Limit 4.

What for? Bmig4?

I'm 57.0 brake balance.

I'm locking on the P.

Do you have updates on the rain? How is the track for you? It's getting wet.

Is the angle increasing or not? It is increasing, corner 12 especially.

Hotasis car ahead. 6.6 ahead of you.

And safety car window is open.

And you can brake later into corner 1, 4 and 6. This level of rain should continue for about 30 minutes. Pedal it!

Pedal seven to cool the understeer.

My arm forward is like...

I thought this circuit was fucked up, I thought it was a loser's race, but...

Mid minus one.

Take a break later in corner 1 and 4.

EB6 and entry minus one.

Bottas 25.0. You can brake later. Corner 1 in 4.

Entry minus one. Pedal seven.

Bottas 25.0.

Use special 2 just for corner 9.

Work on brake modulation, corner 1. There's a tenth to find there.

That lap was good. Same lap time as Bottas.

My God, how have I escaped? Copy that. Entry plus one.

We expect more rain in eight minutes into corner 12.

Bottas, 25.0.

Just to keep it zero.

If I get off the track sliding, it's not a sensitive car.

I need to be a robot already, man. Rain is coming. Leclerc has pitted for 8th again.

I can see the rain is coming. It would be good if you can let me know a bit before.

Oh, I'm not all the way.

Mode F.

Yellow corner one.

Colapinto exit in pitlane now.

Safety car window is open.

I'm trying to stay on track. It's not at all drivable. DSC.

Following that, that's a positive.

I don't know what you guys think, but I'm struggling a lot with the overall grip. Full wheel sliding, mate. Full wheel.

I do think we can turn wet. I don't know what you think.

Always stay down. Copy that, oui.

And we are boxing. Box, box.

I'll look away, explain later.

We think Inter too.

What do you think? We stay in turn.

You sure, yeah? Sure.

Clear, VSC is ending.

Motor race. It's the right tyre.

My god, how do you guys take this inter? There is a reason. Keep it alive.

Mate, there's aquaplaning.

EP3. Pedal eleven.

Speed plus three. This rain is passing in a few minutes. Just survive.

Brake comp 4.

May I have a cup of coffee on the back seat? Copy that.

I'm boxing for words, guys. Trust me.

Guys, trust me.

Turn shift 10.

MFB, Urs 5.

Blue Flags, Verstappen.

Why do you guys not listen to The First Time I Regret for Weds?

Safety car, mode safety car, mode SC.

Why was that fucking inter, man? I said it. Wait, wait.

It's a long race. I know, but it's not about surviving. It's about keep car on track.

It's a long race. Anything can happen.

The brake ain't working. I don't know how we make it brake better. Look into it.

They are just cold. Keep them alive.

Brake on 7.

Yeah, the brake ain't stopping, but yeah, let me know.

They will come back, just keep them alive.

Any water, aquaplaning, let me know guys, come on. I need info. I can't see shit behind the fence.

Can I pass the safety car to unlock myself or not?

We don't have messages yet. Stay where you are.

VTB is fucking zero.

The race is still long. Just work on your brakes.

Tyres under good window now. Just a little bit more on the brakes.

Try brake comp 9. We need to work on the brakes.

Take a five metres gap to the car in front.

And keep that gap.

Full switch off. Can I jump out? Yes, you can jump out.

Payout to all. We have restart time, which is 14.02, which is in 10 minutes. 10 minutes to go.

Eight minutes, eight.

Seven minutes to go. Seven minutes to go. Blankets must be disconnected in two minutes.

Anyway.

Six minutes to go. Six minutes. Tyres must be disconnected in one minute. Tyres must be disconnected in one minute. In three minutes, Zhou will start for his lap.

Radar check. Are we going into X-Y? Because I don't see the track.

My opinion is, if the track is like this with a lot of spray, if we use wet, we can have the first 3-4 laps really good and then in case somebody else aquaplaning, we can still change tyres with the safety car or red flag.

Zhou, all the competitors are on inters and so you are.

No rain expected for 20 minutes.

I can lap the safety car straight away or I need to wait for info.

Zhou, Zhou, you will, two minutes before the restart time, you will get a lap. You drive on your own round track and come back into the pitlane. Ah, okay.

So I have nobody, no safety, safety car. You're alone, you're alone.

Four minutes to go.

Select tyre 6.

Three minutes to go.

And you can fire up.

Two and a half minutes. In 30 seconds you're going to leave the pitlane.

Okay, I need to check the lights now. Go to the back of the queue of cars. Yeah, just let me know when I can leave.

We'll leave in 10 seconds. We'll give you the go. Mode race? Mode race, that's good.

OK, you can go.

Check my brakes, they feel really bad. Just keep working on them. Through the pitlane. Confirm through the pitlane.

It will be a rolling start procedure.

At mode F-lap.

Okay, safety car is leaving the pitlane for one lap and we have a rolling start, a rolling start.

Track is better than before. Still on the very wet side. Copy that.

We can move to pedal 12 if needed.

Copy. That's why I feel better, I guess. Yeah, just work on brakes.

Speed up. Get close to the car head.

I try, I can't see.

Keep working on brakes.

Work on tyres. Remember, it will be mode RS.

Cars are queuing into corner 12, but you need to get closer to Berman. Closer.

Batman hat, yellow flag.

My God, I can't see.

Full overtake available.

Yeah, I tried to come up with the tyre pressure, but they are really bad.

You can drop mid to one step.

Bottas gonna hit four seconds.

It was Berman, he damaged the barriers, but he's moving. Yeah, copy. The problem for me is not just the tyre pressure, also I can't...

Brake hump 12.

MFB, URS 5.

Tyres on a good window.

MFB, 35.

Drop entry to entry plus one.

And tyres are now in the window. You can brake 15 metres later, corner 1 and 4.

So no more rain expected and still 29 laps after this one.

Safety car. Unswitch safety car. That's a positive.

Keep it positive. Positive on the delta. Positive. Slow down.

And work on brakes.

And work on brakes and tyres.

I'm trying to push the brakes harder. That's good, that's good.

Brake warming on.

You can ignore the delta now. Put some speed on it.

You're on the good switch. Good job on brakes. One car behind you, it's Berman.

We're not going to hurt ourselves.

The problem is not the wet water, it's the fucking spray on these tyres. It's unreal.

Copy that, Zhou. Head down. The race is still long.

Safety car in this lap.

Stay close to the car ahead. Car ahead is Bottas.

Brake comp nine for the restart. Stay next to him, close to him, very close to him. Brake comp. Brake comp nine.

For the restart we'll be in mode RS. Overtake available.

You can go to mode RS after corner 11.

Yellow hat, Alonso.

Shift 9.

It was Alonso and he is now 16 seconds behind you. He has returned the track.

Mid-loss is braking into corner 1.

EB6.

There's a tenth in corner one if you brake with more efficiency.

That's the window.

Consider mid 0 and special 2 for corner 4.

Alonso lap in 23.6. Main losses corner 6 and 7.

B-Bal is now braking 10 metres later to corner 1 and braking 10 metres later to corner 2.

Pedal late. Pedal late.

Set the speed to B4. That was a good corner one.

Coffee, no more rain. Coffee, no more rain.

EB8 for the understeer. EB8 and main understeer are 67. I can't go quicker. 67. I can't go quicker. Copy that.

You did a good job in 6th and 7th. Your cottage is up in 24.1 and you can brake later in corner 4.

Tyres are good.

So that's special 2, corner 4. You can brake 10 meters later in corner 1 and 5 meters later in 4.

Try special 1 for corner 1.

MFB, ERS, position 4.

You can brake a bit later in corner 6 and later on power.

You can push the entry of corner 6 a little bit more. Higher minimum space.

Full overtake available.

And special one-corner one for the entry snaps.

We are fighting, Fernando. Use full overtake.

Full overtake again.

Use full overtake.

You can use overtake here.

Sock 7 and use overtake out of 12.

Avoid special 2 in corner 8.

I'm having quite a lot of forward sliding. Copy that.

Suck, six.

No overtake here.

At main time loss is corner 6. You have to carry more speed in and apex speed. The line is good.

And nine laps to go. No concerns on tyres, you can push a little bit more.

Try special 2, corner 4.

There is a tenth to find on the entry corner 6 and you can brake five metres later to corner 1.

You can brake 15 meters later into corner 1. Try gear number 4.

Seven laps to go. No more rain.

Plus two on brake balance.

Maintain losses on the 1, 4 and 6 braking points.

Put the tyres on the patches, especially the right-hand side.

Pedal nine available.

Good job with the patches. Avoid wide line out of corner 12.

Four laps to go.

Three laps to go.

Avoid special turn in corner 10.

Sock free and full overtake available.

Useful overtake.

Alonso is lifting a lot into 11.

You can use overtake out of 12. That's our last shot.

Copy that. I'm trying.

That's checkered flag for us.

Very tough one. So Verstappen, race winner, followed by Ocon, Gasly, Russell, Leclerc, Norris, Tsunoda, Piastri, Lawson, Hamilton in P10, followed by Perez, P11, Berman, Bottas, Alonso, Joseph.

Yeah, the highway is ice-skating, man.

If you look there, he's like driving a different track compared to us.

And full switch off.
