OK, radio check, enemy.

Yeah, copy that. Copy, that's fine. So, that's seven minutes, that was the last fire-up. So, now you can do drop if you want. Remember, you were good at 4-0. I will remind you the gear as you stop. So, nothing more than what we discussed. That was a front coming, but probably more than 12 laps into the race. So, I'll feedback you with the tyres. Remember, preserve them. It's all about reducing the overheating, reducing the sliding.

Yeah. Guys, thank you so much for this. You are legends. Thank you.

OK, six minutes, I'm not going to go. A good one hundred.

Last five minutes.

OK, three minutes, we'll check from the engine island.

Yeah, radio check. Radio check. Everybody on inter, all the cars around you on new inter.

Pivot to A9. Confirm, please.

Yeah, confirm. There's one minute.

30 seconds.

Twenty seconds.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

OK, I was on target, just need to watch your overlap. Focus on trying to catch your direction. Bon vaxel.

I have also a slower clutch release.

Copy.

And this looks like a short one off turn 4, yellow flag turn 4, so just caution turn 4.

Keep doing what you're doing, because until SC1 to regain his position, he'll still stop at turn 4.

Just for your knowledge, the pit with the bottom four is normal.

6.0

OK. Are you OK? Are you OK?

Okay, don't worry about these guys.

Over your left-hand side, 6 by knots.

So, Stroll is still stopped so that I could either be aborted or extra formation up. I'll let you know.

OK, we have a second gear start. Last car on the grid, second gear.

And start aborted. Start aborted. So stay with me there.

Stay where you are for the moment. Stay where you are. Don't join. Wait for confirmation. Start aborted.

Stay there for a second. Don't join. Don't join. It's supported. Stay on the grid at the moment.

You have to stay on the grid. Stay on the grid.

But... No, no, no. It's about to start. Everybody's staying on the grid. Everybody's making a mistake.

Do I roll back?

Stay where you are. Stay where you are.

Okay. Get going. Focus on PU cooling. Back to the grid. Back to the grid. You can get going. No full load. Focus on PU cooling.

Max, focus on P-O cooling. You were right with what you did. You had to stay there. Robert, be careful. The position ahead of you, Verstappen, was empty.

Correction, correction on that. I'll come back to you on the position. I think you were correct.

No, because everyone moved ahead because of Stroll. Ah, yeah, OK, that's why. So I think you were one too far. OK, copy.

No full load. Mark PU cooling.

Remember, your grid slot is left hand side just after the crypto board. Left hand side just after the crypto board.

No full load, no full load.

Okay, aborted start is confirmed, so we need you to stop on your grid slot. Left-hand side after the crypto board and there will be no start procedure. You can stop the car there.

I did many burnouts for no reason. If you can change my tyres.

You need to stay in the car. We're coming to you.

Franco, can you hear me? Yeah. Okay, just give me a minute there, both of us. So, it's about the start procedure. It means that no one should have gone. When it's like that, everybody's down the grid, everybody comes back, and we have 10 minutes. Now, the start will be in 8 minutes and 40 seconds, so that's why you're staying in the car. We are allowed to change tyres, so you'll have a new set of inter. And we just go for a formation lap, but I will have to monitor with you a few times, and then we get going, okay? Any questions?

No questions. All good, mate. Copy.

Okay, Franco, so now we are at the seven-minute signal. Have a good look at the board and where your grid slot is. At the end of the formation lap, please use that to position ahead of you. Stroll slot will be empty, so people do the same mistake that before. You need to stop at your grid slot, not behind the car that was ahead of you on the grid. Okay, so just take a good reference. And I don't know if you heard me, but the 50-metre board turn 4 is no more. Stroll took it off. Yeah, yeah, copy that.

The track is quite dry, for info. I copy. Remember, there's rain coming. Rain coming.

We're still in the same game, probably even a bit more in the survival on these tyres, OK?

Okay, that's five minutes. So we're following plan as discussed. New setup in turn. I will confirm later how many laps is left in the race. Main thing now for us is to manage the few times before the start. And do you have a good reference of your grid slot question?

Yeah. Copy that.

How is the wind? It feels quite windy, no? Currently, wind is south-southeast. Strongest at the highest point of the track. You close the lap. Direction similar to what we had previously. They're quite low, sector 1 and sector 3.

Yeah, okay. So tailwind into 6, right? Correct. On the side, you get a side wind tailwind exit 7.

OK, we can see dark cloud coming. We can see dark cloud coming. Remember, it's going to come from turn 12. It's going to come from turn 12. That's three minutes.

I think the rain is probably 20-25 minutes away.

Correction of the weather. Rain is expected in 5. Remember, when there's heavy rain, survival mode. You need to stay on track and stay out, and I'll guide you. You have this.

Yeah, it could be us.

Okay, next power-up will be the last power-up. Once power-up, decimeter on and confirm.

I should be engine on and once pit meter on, please confirm.

Yeah, confirm.

Okay, that's 45.

And 30.

Last 15 seconds.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

I was on target. Good launch. Focus on P. You're cooling now. After turning, exit turn 3, I'll let you know. Exit turn 3, tyre temperature, direction.

Okay, P, you're clearing that section. And then tyre temperature, plan B.

We are OK to follow normal formation lap procedure.

Okay, potential rain hitting the track now, so remember, use level feedback.

That will be six burnouts. Six burnouts. We're okay, putain. It's raining in the pitlane. Light rain at the moment. Level one.

Remember your left-hand side, remember your grid slot position. Stop there.

OK, remember, second gear start, second gear, last car on the grid.

You can race, good man. You can race.

Okay, Verstappen at 1.7, Bergman behind 1.4. Remember, watch out, be careful at first lap, that straight line. Bergman 1.5. Okay, you're good.

I'll try to brake in point 10-1.

Oscar, head down to turn point 8. Bear mine point 5 behind.

OK, 68 to go. Behrman 0.9 behind. You're doing good. Don't worry about Hamilton if you pull away a bit. Remember what we say. Learning phase for us. You're doing good. Behrman one second behind.

Potential heavy rain sector 3.

Okay, straight line speed is good. Bearman 0.6, so good for them. Currently still no DRS. Doing good. Bearman 0.5, turn red 1.8.

OK, pressures are good. Berman's spun behind. Maybe he touched you a bit, but pressures are good. You can bear 1.6. B-MIG 3, B-B plus one. B-MIG 3, B-B plus one. 66 to go. Check my diffuser mate, it hit me really hard.

Standby 1.4.

Turn eleven management.

Okay, I still come back P5. Still no DRS. Come back P4. Should be fine.

Okay, head down, head down.

We are learning, remember. We are learning. We'll help you with that. Give us feedback.

Okay, suggestion. B-MIG 2. B-MIG 2. Bottas 1.2 behind. Just look ahead. B-MIG 2. Watch out for clocking turn 1.

Cowabunga, it's my refusal. Stand by.

Oh, looking good on our side. Still looking, but we're happy.

Okay, 63 to go. If I look compared to other sector 1, sector 2 is probably where I lose the most, but that's still 1.4 behind Nukenberger ahead.

I need more front wheelers, please.

Hulkenberg right, 25.5. Your pace is not bad. We're going to help you with tools.

Diff mid position 3 for low speed. Diff mid position 3.

Let's manage front right on 11, 4 and 9.

Bottas, P9. You do not need energy.

Still no DRS.

So, weather is still a bit far away. It's still a very light drizzle, so nothing really impacting the track yet.

We just need to manage that front right on 4, 9 and 11. 4, 9 and 11. Watch out the sliding front right.

Okay, sector 2 pace was good this lap. Happy to use quick flick like on the dry in that sector. Bottas, P8 you're good. No energy.

F-V-K, 24.4. Your lap is not a bad lap. Keep working on sector 2.

Valtteri Bottas, point six, I think you're good, no energy. And watch out braking point turn one, you're braking too late. Get back off turn one and improve minimum.

I'm still understeering a lot. Can I go mid-mid 2? Sorry, mid-deep mid 2. Deep mid 2, yes.

For me too. F5. Anything for the entry.

Double yellow ahead. Hamilton off turn 12. Watch out.

Go for him. He should be able to pass him. Go for him. Push-in un-levelable. Push-in un-levelable. Screen 2-1.

And yeah, press overtaking to turn 4. Good job mate, good job.

Okay, so your pace is good. If you don't make a mistake, your pace is good. Everybody's between 24.6 to 25.5. Just consistent lap, no mistakes, and you're good.

Hamilton, 0.9. You're good. Just look ahead. Clean laps. Pace is good. You're one of the quickest sector 2 on that lap. Pace is good. Clean laps. You're OK.

Keep looking at the front right. Increase like cotton. Twelve.

OK, so it's going to be 57 to go. Rain level 2 in the pitlane. Intensifying. So watch out turn 1. Hamilton turn 8. We have straight line speed, so you don't have to worry about him. Just clean laps.

Range still level 2 here. You can use quick-flick turn 1. Watch out for on-clock, turn 1. Ending turn point 6. Don't worry about him, we have straight line speed.

I cannot be front locking like this, mate. We're going to help you, but you have to drive to the limit. Drive under the limit, mate. When you drive under the limit, you're good. Focus on that.

Samir, turn 27. You're good. Just watch out for braking point. Don't brake too late. Quick flick is available. We'll come back to you.

And if you can, we would like to push more turn 6 for front left temperature, turn 6.

I'm in turn 9. Still level 2 here.

OK, rain is intensifying. Hulkenberg reporting is more difficult on tyres. Deep 25.6.

Hamilton, point seven. You're good. Doing great, mate. Fifty-three to go. Clean laps.

OK, I'm in turn 1 off. Sainz next. Carburetor 1.4. Turn 1. Watch out braking point. I think you went too deep, too late. Previous lap. Watch out turn 1.

Okay, Sainz, 0.6. I think you're good. You're not using quick flick sector 2, so you should go B-B minus 0.5. B-B minus 0.5. Sainz, still 0.6. 0.6.

Change point of view. I think you're good. You have straight line speed. No mistake.

Reduce lateral saving. Reduce lateral saving. We can lean on tyres more.

Okay, Sainz, P5, I think you're good. Turn 1, wide shot. Again, you lost a lot because you overshoot, so make sure you get turn 1 right. It was a lot, but you missed it.

0.6, you're good. 0.7. If you do that and no mistake, you will stay behind. So keep doing what you're doing. 48 to go.

First gap behind you, not bad, man. Gap 2.2. Last lap was really good. Keep it like that.

OK, 47 to go. Set car window is open. Let's focus on clean laps. Now, Behrman behind. He will do a bit of a buffer with Hamilton. You have the pace. Behrman two behind.

Head down. Verstappen, you sense? Head down.

OK, Sainz, 0.6, 0.6. You're good. Some advice, no mistake. Drive with what the car can give you. Don't drive too hard. It's still raining and more rain coming in around three laps. The race is still long with P14 at the moment.

Press HPP, press HPP.

I have to give some feedback. Cars ahead are lapping in I-24. I-24.

Green 12, position 8. Capacity for plan green 12, position 8. Can wait exit turn 12 otherwise.

Green 12, position 8. Green 12, position 8. We have rear tyre temp. Both SC and VSC window are open. Double yellow ahead turn 1. Grip track clear. Track clear turn 1. Clear turn 1. Just watch out, maybe low grip.

And feedback on flap into turn 4, please. Feedback on flap.

It's ok. We should go up. Bit of understeer. Copy. Reset black multi. Reset black multi.

Please help Black Multi. I think. Box, box, watch out white line pit emitter.

Copy, pitlane. Slippery in the pitlane. Easy in box. Second gear, second gear. All the brakes, watch the light.

Ok, tyres will be out there. You can wind up at turn 1. Watch out on pit exit. Potentially slippery. Potentially slippery. We're happy to push on that lap. We need to retain temperature.

Expect warm-up to be slow. Zhou two seconds behind, just exiting turn 3. You're racing Zhou.

VSC, VSC, so focus on keeping temperature, use the brakes, keeping temperature, use the brakes and I need green 12 position 8, please. Green 12 position 8.

So, keep delta positive. As close as you can, as close as you can. Currently plus one target, to be as close to zero as possible. Yeah, that's good.

It's a long race, it's a long race.

Okay, as close to the delta as possible. As close to the delta as possible. And that's the first time you're crossing SC1. Sorry, VSC, so it doesn't matter. So just as close to the delta as possible.

As close to the delta as you can. Just Perez currently leaving. I think he's going to be ahead of you. Yeah, he's ahead of you. So no traffic at the exit. Close to the delta. You need to go SC please, go SC.

VSC engine looking healthy, turn 4 VSC engine, so go race, get ready for restart. And your tyres are still not too bad, but a bit on the low side.

Let's watch out the front tyres and front locking at this first lap. There's much more water on track now, much more heavy rain. So take caution.

That works for whites, whites.

Okay, I'll lean there. Wait.

OK, we need to stay out. Stay out.

Stay out, stay out.

Yeah, just we need to survive. Stay out. Stay out. We need to survive. I think it's going to stop after one minute. Survival mode right now.

Just stay on track, try to maintain as much temperature as you can.

Wait, we got our start.

Yeah, we do understand. We need to stay out. Just focus, no mistake. I know it's hard out there.

Majority of the cars are on inter.

I know, in two laps I gain the time back. Trust us, trust us mate. Remember what we discussed. Let's just do our job. Do yours. Trust us.

I think it's the right corner.

Just watch turn 2. Maybe rev up. Tricky turn 2.

Safety car, safety car. Go S-C, go S-C. Stay out, stay out.

Okay, so focus on tyre temperature. Focus on tyre temperature as much as you can. A nice trick out there. I know it's tough. Some people made the choice to go on wet, but they're not the majority. There's only three cars. Majority stayed on inter. I think we were still on the right tyre, so just focus on keeping temperature. When everything gets quieter, I'll come back to you, okay?

I cannot keep the perimeter, it's impossible. Yeah, just do everything you can. Just at a maximum you can. That would be good enough, okay?

And when possible, try to increase PU load. That's for PU temp. Obviously, no mistake. I know it's hard.

Do you think you would want any flap adjust for this condition?

I don't know, I just cannot drive. I cannot even go flat on the straight, so I don't think the flap will do much. Copy. Box, box, box, box, box. Watch out pit entry. Watch out pit entry. You're crossing SC1 for the first time. Box, box.

He's in box, slippery, second gear, all the brakes.

Okay, easy armpit exit. So we just have more temperature on this set. Let's try to retain as much as we can. Basically what happened now is that next time we run into a C1, you're going to be free to push more. You don't have to respect the delta. So right now you're still keeping delta positive up to a C1. Come back to you. It's clear armpit exit.

Okay, doing great for the temperature. Next time you cross SC1, you're free to increase pace. Berman, first car ahead of you is at turn 1. What you're doing to try to drive temperature is...
