B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

We have a yellow flag at turn 4 currently with Stroll off the track.

Do you think they will not launch a race? Currently stuck in the gravel, so it's possible they do an extra formation up. I'll let you know.

Closed around the last cars are forming up at the back of the grid. We still have that double yellow at turn 4.

Aborted start. Aborted start. So stay where you are.

We don't go, yeah? Go, go, go.

Okay, Sven, so we think the leaders haven't followed the right procedure, but we're going with the pack everyone is following. So keep going for now, please. Watch the double yellow at 4. Recharge on, please recharge on.

Max cooling where you can, please. Max cooling where you can.

So you're in the right position. Maximum car cooling where you can.

What do you mean? So you're in the right position amongst all the cars around you. Just maximum car cooling, please. I'm going to advise what to do. You're back on one hundred tyres then? Or you think it won't be this lap? Yeah, I'm not sure yet. Cars are only just leaving the grid still. Ah. OK, you did everything right for the moment, so no action.

Okay, so the back of the pack is at turn 4, so I have to see what happens.

Where's the car at?

Okay, so back of the grid at turn 6. Stop in the normal grid position, please, as you would do.

So Esteban, we believe they're going to abort the start. When that happens, I'll ask you to switch off and the guys will be returning with tyre blankets, et cetera. So for the moment, keep the car running. We're waiting for the official message. So again, you did everything right there. The upset was the leaders going when they shouldn't have done.

Can I switch off or not? Stand by, please.

OK, P, wait please, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I need to see the abort start message.

OK, switch off please. P1.

Gas down. We've got 10 minutes' notice. We're staying in the car.

Come on the blankets, please.

We're working on it, Esteban.

Are we allowed to change tyres? We are not allowed to change tyres. We can wrap them at the moment. We're going to do everything we can to keep everything locked. Yeah, as quickly as you can. Yeah, we're working on it. Everyone's in the same boat.

Let's go P2, please.

So, yeah, I wasn't gonna go. No, no, no, you would. But obviously everybody went, so... Exactly, we did everything right. We'd be in real trouble now if we hadn't have gone, because everyone did. So, we were following the right procedure. The difficulty was that the cars in front of us went and we were kind of stuck at that point.

Are you sure we can't change tyres? Because they are changing, I think, my tyres.

Close out right.

For the car, why? I need to push.

There's nobody on my right.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

Overslip fronts where possible. Take them up.

OK, last cars forming up.

Leclerc the car behind. Rain expected to increase from now.

Okay, tyres getting into the window now.

Brake increasing.

I'm losing soccer lots. Understood.

Sock 8 when you can.

Rain intensity dropping for the next 10 minutes.

Use anti-overtake where you can and look for wet patches to call the rear right.

Yeah, but why I have to do that? Figure out something. Yeah, we're working on it.

Happy to keep going up on diff mid to help protect the rear.

Increase lift, turn 11.

Turn 11. Best of that time. Keep it up.

OK, let's advance to scenario 1. Scenario 1, that will reintroduce some automatic clipping.

Ok, good job. Heavier rain expected in 15 laps time.

Okay, and increase saving in turn three, if you can. Increase saving in turn three.

And socket 6. Sock 6.

Okay, mate, we want to keep cooling that rear right where you can. How are the tyres, please?

No issues yet. Understood. Cars behind Leclerc, then Verstappen now.

I suggest brake bias one click forwards.

Five minutes of light rain, like we've got now.

OK, Leclerc 0.7, Verstappen 0.5 behind him.

Leclerc 0.7 behind. Heavier rain expected in 10 laps time.

So, PU2, position 1, when you can. PU2, position 1, when you can.

Gap behind 0.6 and stable. Keep us updated on tyres please.

Tyres, tables, over. Coming. Good job, keep it up.

Okay, heavier rain, ten minutes' time.

Leclerc made a mistake. Gap 1.5 behind him.

Do we have to make a stop or not in this race? We do not have to stop, no.

Gap behind 1.4. Great work, mate. Keep it up.

Okay, heavier rain expected in five to six minutes.

Keep us updated on this time.

Okay, Svante, do you think this tyre would be okay in heavier rain, question? Yes.

OK, mate. Leclerc boxed Verstappen, the car behind, 1.6.

Yeah, monitor the situation.

I got a lot more pace than that, for info. OK mate, understood. Just keep doing what you're doing at the moment. Yep.

Verstappen, point six bound.

Heavier rain from now for five minutes.

Single yellow turn 1. Hulkenberg went deep there. He's beached.

Single yellow, turn 1. And VSC, VSC. So, yellow, turn 1, VSC, let's get positive on that delta. Pre-charge on, please, pre-charge on.

Double yellow where you are.

Ok mate, so all we're doing is staying near zero on that delta.

Nice job with that overtake.

There's a lot of water now. Okay, copy that. How are the tyres? Probably too much, to be fair. Too much for these tyres, question? No, no. Whatever tyres.

OK, Stoane, can you repeat your last message, please, nice and clearly? There is a lot of rain from whatever tyres. There's too much water, standing water. OK, understood. Do you feel you need a new set of intermediates, question? No. OK, that's fine, that's fine. Just making sure we're all clear.

So, Esteban, we're staying out unless you disagree.

Yes, stay out, again. Box water for evasion. Copy that.

Turn one is now clear. VSC ending. VSC endings. Get close to zero. Ready to go.

Gap behind 2.5.

Esteban, if you need full wet tyres at any point, let us know.

Everyone on inters apart from Perez on the forward. They should red flag that. Copy.

OK, Sven, let us know if you need the full wet tyre.

We're going to stay out. We're going to stay out at the moment.

Okay, if you need the full wet tyre, box, otherwise stay out, please.

Red flag! Come on!

Half throttle down the straight.

We can't keep it on track, guys.

Lighter rain in three minutes.

And safety car, safety car. So let's get positive on the delta.

Yeah, that's unbelievable. The amount of water, guys. It's like crazy. Yep, understood.

So, Esteban, rain decreasing in one to two minutes. If you think we can survive, it's probably worth staying out. If it decreases, yes. Yeah, it should decrease. It's difficult to tell, but we think it will decrease. The grip is good in the middle of the corner. Just straight line. Okay, understood. So, carry on with safety car procedures for the moment. Passing. And, Esteban, we are staying out unless you disagree.

Look at that, the FIA, because it's too much water. Understood. We've got the safety car at turn 4. We are in P1 at the moment. Verstappen, P2, Pierre, P3. Yep, understood. So what we want to do is try and warm the front tyres as best we can.

You can go brake 5, brake 5. Add a bit of temperature in there.

So the top five cars are all still on inters. Tsunoda in P6 is on the extreme. Norris and Russell in P4 and 5 both boxed for new inters.

So, rain dropping in intensity from now. No heavy showers expected at the moment.

Okay, Spencer, we'd like to stay out. If we can, just do our best to warm these tyres.

OK, so cars behind Verstappen, then Zhou and then Pierre. Zhou is a lap down.

Keep warming those tyres as best you can. No-one in the pitlane. We've passed the safety car line for the second time. No risk at pit exit.

OK, the oversliding on the front is good. Keep that up, please. I can't go quicker than that in the straight line. No, understood. Just keep doing as best you can. Doing a good job. Everyone on inters is in the same boat.

The restart is at the control line.

Yes, I'll give you an update shortly. I'll be back with you in a moment.

You'll be coming in the pit entry this time and you'll be lining up in the fastlane.

Just normal red flag procedures at this point.

Okay, mates, we'll be driving towards the pit exit. Stopping with a bit of a gap to the light so you can see them.

Jumping out, yeah.

Okay, so all we're now waiting for is confirmation of a restart. Looks like it's going to be down to the conditions. Just waiting for them to improve a little bit. It's going to continue to brine up for the next five minutes. And recover that car. I'm happy for you to jump out. I need you to not run off, please, because we might need to get you back on short notice.

What tyres do we have on?

It will be a rolling restart.

No transcript available

Okay, so we have received the rolling start message. The orange lights on the safety car should go out, which means it will be boxing at the end of this lap.

So we're starting now, yeah? Yeah, that's our understanding. Make sure the orange lights are out on that safety car.

OK, so safety car lights are out and we're just preparing for the restart here. Just need recharge off.

You can just keep backing the pack up a touch more. Your car is still catching up.

Safety car is still at pit entry.

Free charge off.

30, 50, go. 35 to go.

Scenario 1 at the end of the lap.

And scenario one. Scenario one.

Tyre temp's coming up nicely. Have to keep pushing until they're up there.

You've done a great job so far. Keep it up.

Ok mate, you're the fastest car out there at the minute. Keep it up.

OK, let's increase the lift at 11, please. Increase lift turn 11.

Okay, Verstappen looks like he's starting to pick up his pace now. One or two tenths quicker. Safety car, safety car. We've got Sainz in the wall at turn 8, so let's get positive on the delta and we're good with recharge on.

Question, the car is more loose than before on entries of turn 8. Have a look at that. It's like pushing, stopping. It's less consistent. Understood. Might be a part of the fact we've got nice clean air as well. We'll have a look and see if we can advise accordingly. So we're just staying positive on the delta. Reminder, when you get to safety car line 1, we want to be as close to zero as possible. Correction, there's a safety car in front of you. It's not clean air. So...

He's doing something different with the top. Okay, understood. We'll have a look.

PU2, position 1, please, Esteban. PU2, position 1.

Turn 10 as well, day up in. It's the same thing. OK, understood. Is that mid-corner mainly, on the way in? On the way in, yes. It's like one end of pushing. Understood. There's nothing particularly standard, but we're going to review and get back to you.

Okay, so pit exit is clear. No cars in the pitlane.

Okay Spencer, we'll just be looking to try and keep as much temperature in these tyres as we can. Once we get towards the end of the safety car period, we'll start overslipping those fronts a bit more as well.

For info, Sainz went off because I was touching the white line.

OK Max, so 28 laps to go at the end of this one.

I'm happy to go forwards on brake bias just to help the front tyres.

We think there's a little bit of rear locking at turn eight as well, so we'd be happy to go to zero on the bias.

What was it before? Minus 0.5? Yeah, minus 0.5.

So, no rain for the next 30 minutes. Chances of some drops after that. Nothing too heavy. Safety car is in this lap. Safety car in this lap, so let's start over-slipping the front and focus on the restart.

Okay, so just that brake bias, you might want to shift backwards one or two clicks.

We'll just need to recharge off for the restart and overtake available as well.

It's exactly the same as before. Safety car will pull away shortly.

I'll let you know when the safety car is at pit entry. All cars formed up behind.

Recharge off for the restart.

Track clear. Safety car at pit entry.

OK, 26 to go.

Pierre the car behind 1.7. Leclerc another two seconds back.

Okay, gap behind increasing 2.1 to Pierre now.

22 laps to go. Very good lap times. Keep it up.

There's no more locking on the high-speed right.

No more locking under high speed, no.

20 laps to go. Pierre behind struggling more with the front tyres. He's got Russell two seconds behind him for info.

Russell lapping 22.5 at the moment.

I can see George, please don't stall. Copy.

Any saving required or not? At the moment, no, Esteban. Keep going as you are. We'll let you know if we want to look after the rears at all.

Suggest brake bias one click forwards. 16 laps to go.

Okay, let's focus on cooling the rear right tyre where possible and take wet patches on the rear right.

Thirteen laps to go.

No heavy rain expected before the end of the race.

Eleven laps to go.

And ten to go.

Eight laps to go.

Seven laps to go.

Six to go.

Five laps to go.

Three laps to go.

Two laps to go.

OK, mate. Last lap. Last lap.

And that is the chequered flag.

Well done, mate. Yeah! Zario 10 and P2. Yeah! Yeah! Woo! What a race, guys! Yeah!

Yes! Well done, mate.

We didn't think we were going to be there, right? Funnily enough, no, I didn't think so, no. So well done. Yeah, well done to Pierre and P3. That's amazing, guys. Yeah, that is. Happy for you. Mate, it's a fantastic team effort. OK, mate, so normal in-lap procedures from here, please. We're coming in the pit entry.

Let's make sure we get that one right this time. So, coming in the pit, entry please and we'll be stopping by the podium. Yeah, get it right. I don't want to run. It's been too long. Exactly, exactly right.

Ok mate, well done. Really, really well done. Ok, so Verstappen run, yourself in P2, Pierre in P3. Just rounding out the top ten for your info. So Russell, Leclerc and then Norris, fourth, fifth and sixth. Tsunoda P7, Piastri P8, Lawson P9 and Hamilton rounding out the top ten. Yeah, awesome. Awesome, really, really amazing.

Do you like the formation like that?

I think everyone appreciates that. Thank you. Pleasure.

Let's see if we can do it all again next time.

Let's enjoy that one first, please.

Absolutely. Okay, so pit entry, stopping in front of the number 2 board and normal switch off procedures from there.

Okay, so stopping, going to P1 and a small pause and P0 and we'll see you on the podium.
