Radio check.

OK Liam, we are three minutes to the formation lap. DRS is disabled. If you can sink 8 gears before turn 4, we take it. If you can't, no problem at all. We'll do that on lap 1.

OK, copy.

Can I click overtake to try? Yes, you can.

Good idea.

And for the by-point finder, is that still in first gear? Yes.

So, Liam, once we're settled in position, the key is to try to look after those tyres until the rain comes, which will be around 15 to 20 minutes into the race.

Ocon, straight into the weaving. Good work on those tyres.

And that was... That was 5 shallow. 5 shallow. Click of a tick. I'm only missing the 8th, if we can.

Let's be hard on tyres. You can be hard on tyres.

OK, let's keep working on brakes on tyres.

Click of a tick, five tyre warming.

On ILEA we have Stroll starting turn 4. I'll keep you posted. For now, we'll get ready in case it goes. Click of attack.

OK, so Strollitz pitch, Ginten 4, in the grass, I'll keep you posted. Mode 3 for the start.

OK, last car forming now and we have a double 0-turn 4 for Stroll.

Aborted start. Aborted start. I keep you posted. Mode 12.

Mode 12. Don't worry about Ocon, he's got to recover his position.

On the pit of lift off, force the engine where you can.

Focusing on Braxton tyres. Same again. Good weaving. Reminder double yellow turn 4.

We can do more on the brakes, please, if you can.

Double yellow by you, Al.

Oh, let me pick up the pace again.

And if we can try to do a bit of engine cool down while you come.

OK, Leanne, we go back to your grid position. Only we will have an aborted start.

OK, so no burnouts. No burnouts. So you stop in your grid position and you switch off, please.

You go to your position on P1, switch off please. The guys are coming back to you.

I think I'm in P1 now.

Okay Liam, the guys are coming to you now.

Only AMO will have a 10 minutes warning. I'll keep you posted. Maybe they don't sustain the car. The guys are coming.

Copy. Feels like rain is coming.

This rainfear is close. What's it saying?

The rain looks, looks, well, it feels close. What's it saying?

Copy.

On Liam, where you can, we need to cool the car a little bit in sector 3, please. So avoid full throttle in sector 3, but we keep fast in the corners for tyres.

OK, Liam, same again. Only thing is, if we can work a bit more on the brakes, we need to try to cool the engine in sector 3, if you can. Copy.

Click and take burnouts if you have space, otherwise you push.

Very good job. Good braking where you can. Keep observing.

OK, Liam, good job on the brakes. That's better. Keep working on them, please. And avoid full throttle where you are. But keep pushing in the corners.

Copy, it's raining out here. Copy that, it's a very small drizzle, very small shower. Five tyre warmings, the same again please. On the formation map you were 51, target is 48, should be enough grip.

This is a very small drizzle. We expect more rain in 15 to 20 minutes.

Click of a tick, five tyre warming, mode 3 for the start.

Mode 3. Over level 1 in the pitlane.

Let's get her forming now.

Consider entry 7 understeer high, if you're happy with stability.

Consider EB10. Apex understeer is high.

Level 2 ready to pitlane.

We expect level 2 for the next 5 minutes. Change of engine braking looks good. If you need more, you can do one more step. We'll leave it to you.

Main limitation turn 4, braking exit compared to Yuki.

OK, good job in turn 4. I'll be happy with a small lift-off in turn 1. It helps your front tyres. Behind you is Piastri, 9 tenths. Yuki, 25.4.

Not urgent. Engine 7, position 1, when you can. Engine 7, position 1.

Consider back to entry 8 with a bit more instability. On face is aligned to the cars ahead at the moment.

Okay, my engine now is max, it's just over to Piastri, my smoke is on the front.

OK, Liam, I will keep up the clean laps. I will focus on the clean laps.

Okay, Leon, don't worry. Head down to clean laps.

Only you were pulling away from Piastri behind, so back into the rhythm.

If you are happy your margin with front locking, offset one click forward. Currently re-limited.

When you can, Strat 1 currently in 5. Strat 1 when you can.

Rain increasing. Nibaud one plus in the pitlane. Copy.

And Liam, consider more progressive on earlier turn in turn 1 to avoid the front locking. We are locking on the sharp turn in.

Level 3 in the pitlane. Expected level 2-3 for 5 minutes. On turn 4 we brake a little bit too late this lap.

And the pace is still OK, so the cars ahead are around 1 to 2 tenths faster currently.

On the heads up, Liam Gasly is four seconds behind Piastri and is currently three to four tenths faster. I'll keep you posted.

OK, that's a good lap. Compared to Gasly, it's only turn 1-2. He's gaining a little bit. Two tenths.

Consider push to goal turn 1-2 if your stability limit is 2.

On the cars ahead went three tenths faster last lap.

When you can, strut 2. Currently in 1. Not your chance.

That was a good lap, Liam. If we can keep it there, it's one tenth faster than the cars around.

Rain back to level 2 in the pitlane. We had a small gap with light rain and it's back to level 2 now.

OK, Liam, we just keep focusing on clean laps. We have more water on track. More water on track.

The car ahead went three tenths slower.

On the heads of Liam, any time you need to defend, you can press and hold overtake.

Level 3 in the pitlane. Rain level 3 in the pitlane.

30 seconds to go.

OK, we check the car, Liam. Parking terrorism. Yeah, what the fuck is that? I can't take my brakes in.

Okay, I'm happy to stay out for now. How are the tyres? Please confirm happy to stay out. Okay, stay out. Head down.

It's definitely damp, but I'll keep going. Loud and clear. High level of rain. We have a long race ahead. Clean laps.

It's very wet.

Copy, try to keep it on track. Same for everyone. Lot of water, copy. I'll keep you posted. Let's try to keep it on track. You have seven seconds to be a man behind.

OK, yellow turn 1.

Be a true safety girl, Charjan. Stay out.

We stay out Viam. Copy, stay out.

Let's keep focusing on temperature, where you can, but keep it safe. Double yellow turn one.

Double yellow turn 1.

We keep trying to do what we can with tyres. Could be heavy rain.

Yeah, aquaplaning, mate, this is really bad.

I'm struggling to keep up with the Delta to be honest. Don't worry about the Delta. Do what you can to stay on track.

This is too weird. Charge off. VSC ending. Charge off. Charge off. VSC ending. We have to survive the amp.

Liam, do you want to box for extreme or stay out and survive? We should box for extreme. Box, box, box, box. Box, box, box. I'm fucking gonna...

There's going to be a crash for sure. Copy. Stop. Full high-speed stop.

Close to Bottas. Speed exits.

Shape 5 when you can. Cumulative 4.

Cars ahead on Inter are going to struggle a lot. We get back into the rhythm.

And people are pitting for extreme, you might have traffic pit exits. Head down, clean laps. You've got the right tyre.

Okay, we're on the right early. Good job. E-B12. E-B12. Let's put understeer in the car.

Safety car. I was in front of him. Stay close to zero. People might box.

So try to stay close to zero if you can. People might box. They might have traffic pit exit. But obviously stay on track.

People foxing. Negative.

OK, Liam, so we will have an advantage at the restart, but when the track improves, we will have to change tyres again. So we'll have to maximise the restart. Please confirm.

We're currently in P10. We still have a long race ahead. Long race.

And the rain, is it going to come back or not? It's going to decrease in three to four minutes. When you can, mode 11, currently in 14.

You're doing a good job on the bikes. We'll keep doing the same pace.

On Liam, you can jump out. We will have a 10-minute warning for the restarts. But don't go too far, please.

OK, copy that. On the way to jump out, we'll go to P1 with 10 P1.

When you stop in the pitlane, you go to P1, and then you can come to the pitwalk, please.

So that again, I go to P1 and then what?

You can jump out and come see us at the pitwall, please.

Copy. You want me to stay in P1, yeah? Yes, you stay in P1. Copy.

Radio check. Radio is good. We have a rolling start, which will be a rolling start, and we will have one lap behind the safety car.

So in the last sector, we will go K, mode 3 in the background.

Configure mode 3 now.

Negative. Last sector, charge on, mode 3.

On LIAM we are happy to stay in shape 5 with a high amount of water and then we go back to shape 4 when track is improving, if you're happy.

And if you want to do push to go off for lap 1, let's go EB12. Currently EB11.

All the weapons with ZB. Thank you.

We're in EB10. Do you want EB12 or EB10? 12, 1-2.

And obviously we'll be behind the safety car, but same as the guys in front, please. Good work on tyres and brakes. Long race ahead. Let's try to clean laps and see what comes at the end.

Copy. Okay Liam, let's go mode 12 and even if we don't do a start, burnouts will be beneficial to warm up tyres on your lap behind the safety car.

So if you have opportunities, we do that. But you can't open too big a gap to carry it.

We have three minutes to go.

No bite point.

Two minutes.

Ok, Liam.

Give me time to work on these tyres.

No transcript available

On the rain, stop turn noise back to level 2. Same for everyone, let's work on these tyres.

OK, Liam, the people ahead were a bit slow to get away. Safety car currently approaching turn 6.

On confirmed rolling starts, rolling starts, racing from the line.

Copy. Visibility is terrible. No, don't care. Let's try to keep it on track. Still a long race to go. People will make mistakes.

Consider entry 9, considering the conditions.

On any time you need, push to go available.

Charge on. Mode 3 in the background. Ocon opening the gap to the safety car now.

Okay, let's catch up to the queue. Ocon, last corner.

Charge off.

Racing from the line.

Back to shape 4, 28.5 behind you Perez.

Ok, tyres are starting to come. We need to hold on.

OK, rain level zero. No more expected for the next 30 minutes.

On Ocon in free air 25.2. Ocon free air 25.2.

And Alonso is one second slower than the car ahead.

Ok, tyres in the working range on Ocon 24.6. You can close the factory if you need.

Safety car, safety car. Keep tyre temperature. Mode 11. Stay out.

Make sure you keep as much temperature as you can.

OK, Liam, so Yuki is one second faster and the main loss is turn 1 to 4 to 5 tenths.

Copy. I can't even see the corner. Copy. Do your best. Just giving you the feedback. Copy. We have a double yellow turn 8. Sainz in the wall. Light touch.

Make sure you keep temperatures, please. Brakes and tyres, weaving where you can.

We are currently P11.

Double yellow, turn 8.

And Elia, if you go full throttle, press on hold overtake, please, to drop a bit of battery. Press on hold overtake if you go full throttle.

And same again before turn 4, do it earlier please. Copy. Alonso is going so slow. Focus on your tyres. We are where we are.

I'm still double yellow at turn 80.

OK, so behind you are Perez, Bottas and Zhou. Ahead is Alonso, Hamilton and Yuki. Still a long race to go. We stay on track and we try to make progress.

All what you've been doing with the brakes is helping us, so we keep doing the same where you come. Same for everyone. Tyres will have cooled down.

On Liam heads up, so our tyres took a bit of time to get up. But Ocon was doing 24, mid-24 when we were doing mid-26. Safety car in this lap. Keep working on brakes and tyres.

And if that helps Liam, Sainz lost the car on the white line exit turn 7.

Kjartan mode 3. Kjartan mode 3. Close to the gravel. Bracing from the line.

OK, full charge off. Let's get ready.

OK, we focus on the front. Good job, Liam. Focus on the front. Head down. We need a couple of laps of tyres to come up.

Okay, the cars ahead of Yuki have opened a two and a half second gap.

Alpine is back into 24.5. Car behind Perez.

Tyres are ready, tyres are ready. Don't brake too late, turn 12.

We are catching the queue. Leclerc at the front of the queue is slow.

On Alpine Friere, currently lapping one second faster, Alpine Friere, one second faster.

Main delta to the Alpine is turn 6, between 2 to 3 tenths. Copy, clear for downshift. Consider entry 9. Copy, head down.

Yuki 1.48. Last lap was turn 1-2. Try to focus on exits. Carry less entry speed at turn 1-3.

Yuki 1.8. Let's try to catch him again. Last lap compared to Alpin. He's turned 2-3 on braking turn 12.

Focus on the front, let's catch Yuki.

Behind you now, Hamilton. There has been a mistake.

Press and hold overtake available when you need. Reminder, entry 9 if you need stability.

Currently P9. On Piastri ahead we'll have a 10 second penalty. 17 laps to go.

You can keep using overtake. It's working well.

Three more laps after this one.

One more lap. One more lap.

Press and hold overtake. Press and hold.

Charge on. OK. Failure 84. Failure.

On course the car, please.

Alright Liam, that was a hard fight. Good drive. And yeah, shame we didn't fully capitalize. Alpine is P2-P3.

On your side, you did everything right. You did everything right on your side. Good to bag a few points again. Yeah, I mean, honestly, I don't know. I had a lot of pace at the start of the descent, but obviously too much because then I just dropped away. Yeah, but you were defending hard. Don't forget you were defending hard.

And we can see we were compromising a bit. Brakings, entry speeds. So we were not that far away.

It was only two or three tenths to Yuki's pace in the last five laps. Considering the traffic behind you, I think it's reasonable.

Yeah, man, I mean, they, I don't know, I gave Checo his pace at turn one, I don't know what happened at turn two though. Yeah, it's all OK.

So we've got Max, P1, Ocon, Gasly, P2, P3, then Russell, P4, Leclerc, P5, Norris, P6, Yuki, P7, Piastri, Troc, P8 with a penalty, you are P9 on behind you Hamilton.

OK, copy.

When you stop at the bridge, reminder for the P0, please.

Liam, just to be clear, what cost us heavily was a crash with Piastri. Boxing for extreme didn't really cost us. So what cost us was the Piastri incident.

So once again, good job on your side. I think we move forward. It's been a strong weekend.

Reminder for P0.
