Thank you for watching.

Radio check.

Radio check, Mark. I hear you that time, didn't hear you the first time, sorry.

Could you clean the mirrors if you get the chance?

While you're getting ready. So we're expecting more rain 20 minutes into the race. Then it will be a fairly short period and then a brief period where it's not raining and then a much heavier amount of rain coming after that. So basically we need these inters to last into that second period of rain.

Olli, just some information on the other car. So, Nico's actually come down a little bit on the car balance. He did that last lap at 47.3, the same that you ran. And then he came down 0.3 because in his mind the car will become looser towards the later stages of the inter. And he just wants a bit more consistency in his car. I would say that he generally runs less front wing than most drivers would. We think we can improve the low speed response of your car by opening the diff. We're going to get a little bit more front grip from having slightly higher front tyre temperatures. So I'm just wondering if we should actually just back a little bit of that extra that we put in. But it's a difficult call. There's no right answer really. Yeah, I mean, it really depends on what the track's going to do. It's tough to judge. My only point is it's maybe a bit safer to be on the flat. Yeah, should we just come down, say, 0.1? No, go to where we were 47. We were 47.3, now we're 47.6. I mean, it's not going to change our lives. But we can do a 47.3 again.

I'm a bit indifferent. I just don't know how this tyre is going to perform on the long straight. Absolutely. I think it's really going with Nico's experience, isn't it? And that's why maybe we should put some more weight on it, given our situation. Shall we come back to 47.3 then and send it? Yeah, let's do that. Sorry for the up and down. It's really not a problem.

OK, this is it. Same as yesterday. You leave the limiter off until we've fired the car up and then I'll ask you to turn it on.

I'm gonna go because I need to get back to the garage. It takes a while. Good luck. Thank you. Don't forget to call mode RS. I know, I remembered yesterday. Do the start in mode RS, yes. Yeah, yeah, but don't forget to call it on the start. Oh, I won't. Don't worry.

This practice start is my DRS.

A-firm, start with mode RS, second gear again please. Mode slow, sorry, mode slow, second gear start. So mode slow, second gear start. Limiter on please, limiter on.

And all cars are on intermediate tyres.

Feedback about the start when you can.

B-C-7 please. B-C-7.

We might get an extra formation lap.

Olli, on the start, initial clutch job was good, just need to feed the clutch in a bit more progressively, please.

BC4, please.

So mode RS for a second gear start if there's a start. Mode RS.

Start is aborted. Start is aborted.

This means extra lap. Limiter on, please. Limiter on. Extra formation lap. Stereo package started mode slow. Mode slow again, yes.

Do you want a practice start? Affirm. Practice start is good. Just make sure your limiter is on.

Please repeat. There's a car stopped in front of us. Okay, play it safe, you just pull away then.

The guy in front of me isn't pulling away.

No, I'm taking on the grid. Unless they've got a problem. Okay, you're okay. If they've clearly got a problem, you can go past them.

I expect they'll abandon the start and we'll have to come back out to you, but we'll see.

Okay, Bottas behind you is moving again, so he'll have to come back in front of you.

Okay, we weren't supposed to do the extra formation lap as a group, so you need to form up in your original starting position, please.

Cool the car as much as you can, please, Olli. Cool the car as much as you can.

Just be aware of cars slowing down six seconds ahead of you.

Check that you stop in the correct position, Oli. Just make sure you stop in the correct position.

Okay, so we're going to get grid tolleys back on the grid ollie. Just keep the engine running for a moment. Is it on? Okay. Yep. Engine off. Engine off, please.

P0, please, Ollie. P0.

Welcome within FLAP.

Okay, let's do point three out. I felt some wind in 10-6 and it was making the car a little bit unstable. Do you want to take point three?

The truck has made a big step. Understood.

I think the track's going to evolve quite fast until, you know, until the rain comes.

Let's have some blackheads, please.

Oli, we'll need to re-sync the gears on the outlap. We've lost sync.

Okay, Oli, a rain cell's just popped up, I think, just over there. So it might, the rain might come sooner than expected. Did you do my 0.3? HP? Did you drop 0.3?

A-firm. It's done.

Nothing like a bit of stress before the race.

Sorry, I was talking to David. About time, running out of time. Who knows.

Yeah, so just to reiterate, your start was good, the clutch drop was good, but you just need to feed it in progressively afterwards, otherwise it will spot on.

Limiter on, please, Olli. Limiter on.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

See you back when you can. Tower, have a good day. You too.

Okay, Ollie, it wasn't actually much better than last time, so clutch should drop initially on target, but then just need to feed it in after that.

OK, I'll leave mode RS for the start, please.

Last car is in position.

OK, Olli, P13 at the moment. P13.

Car behind is Nico. 0.8.

Still no DRS. No DRS.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

No DRS, slow.

Nico 0.7, still no DRS for anyone though.

It takes a lot of time on you at turn 1.

Sorry, are you OK?

How is the front wing? How is the front wing, Oli? I don't know.

I think it's OK. Copy. Keep going, we can't see anything. We've no data.

Fuck, you just didn't get off throttle.

Car behind is Perez.

Sainz two seconds ahead, Perez 4.5 behind. Still no DRS for anyone. You're currently in P16.

That's 1.3 ahead, Perez 0.9 behind. Suggest running in wet areas on the right-hand side, if possible, that side of the car as tyres are running hot.

Suggest EB3 to help mid-corner understeer.

Olli, we have a 10 second penalty for the collision with Colapinto. Why? He didn't even lose any time.

Sainz 1.3 ahead.

BC1, please. BC1.

Long way to go, Ollie. Just keep your nose clean as much as you can. Let's see how we get on. Pace is good.

Olli, we need to do 50 metres of lift and coast at one corner.

Yellow at turn 12. Double yellow at turn 12. Double yellow. Hamilton going slow on the outside of the corner. Looks like he's going again.

Track is clear, track is clear.

How is the balance, Oli? We think it looks too understeery. Yeah, a bit too understeery. Copy. We'll come up 0.3.

So, we're not expecting any heavier rain for the next 20 minutes.

That's 12 laps completed.

OK, Oli, we think with the understeer you've got, it'd be worth trying diff 22.

Olli, we need to do 50 metres lift and coast at three locations, please. Three locations.

If that is a problem for you, we will go to mode F1 instead, which will improve our fuel consumption, but cost some other performance.

So either mode F1 or 3 times 50, lift and coast. Yeah, give me a few laps.

That's 16 laps completed, 53 to go.

Good pace, Olli. You're quicker than all cars up to Gasly P9.

Suggest EB5 to reduce understeer.

Car ahead Hamilton. Car ahead Hamilton.

Nice job, Oli. Unfortunately we need to continue with the lift and coast, it's important.

Next car 2.4 seconds ahead is Cyprus, URP14.

Suggest left toggle for front locking at turn 8.

Hamilton 0.8 behind, Sainz 1.4 ahead.

Safety car window is open. Not BSC, just safety car.

Hamilton 0.8. If the brake gets big, if the brake gets heavy, I might struggle to restart on this tyre. Copy that.

Sight is well off. Copy that.

One hundred to the left. Copy, will do. Watch out for the Hamilton.5 behind.

No more lifting coast required.

So that's Colapinto ahead in P12. Last lap you were two and a half tenths quicker than him.

So Nico, it's slippery in turn 4. People keep going off. Copy.

So, currently P12, Oli. Obviously you've got Hamilton still 0.9 behind. Alonso is 11 seconds, sorry, Nico is 11 seconds ahead.

Last lap, three tenths quicker than Nico.

Expecting heavy rain in about five minutes. Hamilton 0.6 behind. Yeah, we're going to do it, I think. A-firm.

Close with Leclerc on exit. He's just pitted for new inters.

You are ahead of Leclerc.

Leclerc behind Hamilton. I can't see my rear, I need the gap behind. Copy. Car behind is Hamilton.

I think we should box.

Olli, the problem is if we stop now, we could damage your new inters before the heavy rain comes. That's why we're questioning what to do. We'll get back to you shortly.

I feel like the heavyweight is here. Yep, keep at it mate, keep at it mate. You're in good shape, just keep the car on the road.

Hamilton one second behind. He's in the same trouble as you are. So just keep it on the road.

Yellow, turn one, yellow, double yellow, turn one, double yellow, clear, it's clear.

You just need to tell me the gaps. Like I said, I can't see my mirrors. Copy. Hamilton 0.8 behind.

Hamilton still 0.8. Yeah, I mean, not every corner, but one lap.

It's getting really slippy. Understood.

It's raining heavily, mate. Yeah, we understand.

Let's do something. We want other people to struggle.

It's because of the penalty, it's because of your penalty, we need to do something different.

You're doing a fantastic job, Hamilton, 0.7 behind.

VSC, VSC, VSC.

What are you doing? Box, box, box. You have a 10 second penalty. It'll be a long stop. Wait for instructions from the guys.

Do not go before you're given the signal to go.

Mode RS for the restart.

So, still respecting BSC, mode slow, mode slow, sights just ahead of you.

BSC ending, BSC ending.

My push, my push.

OK, it's wet now. It's fucking wet. Affirm.

Okay, I believe you're at P14 at the moment, just try and keep it on the road.

Got Perez right behind you, point six. Also fresh inters.

Actually, Perez on full lets. Perez on full lets.

How are we allowed to race like this? Someone's going to crash, big time.

Perez coming up fast behind you on his full wets.

I can't even see where I'm going mate. You're doing a great job, Oli, you're doing a great job. Yeah, but come on, talk to the FIA, this is really dangerous. I'm trying not to die. Yeah, yeah, understood.

Suggest EB3 to help stability.

Safety car, safety car.

Safety car, mode slow, 1 second ahead of you. Next car 4 seconds behind. You've got a race to safety car, line 1, race to safety car. Don't overtake, don't overtake, don't overtake. No, no, no. Stay on your delta, stay on your delta.

OK. Well done, Mike. Well done.

So just follow your delta, just follow your delta.

So that's Perez just in front of you on extreme wets.

So we've got three cars ahead of you on extremes. Perez, Lawson and Tsunoda. And that's why it's important for us to stay out on our inters. Because it's our only shot of getting back ahead of them, OK? You're doing a fantastic job, mate. Brake more warm up as possible. Brake more warm up as possible.

Just make sure you respect your delta, respect your delta. I have no grip. Copy.

So front brakes are very cold, Oli, so do what you can to warm them up, please. I understand it's difficult. Yeah, yeah, sure. Just letting you know. Did Nico box? So Nico went off at 1, he managed to get his car going and then he eventually boxed to put full wets on, but he's two laps down.

Safety car has the leader at turn 9.

Rain should be decreasing in the next couple of minutes.

So, obviously, that means the cars on next wet potentially can have trouble.

You are P15 at the moment.

So Perez, full wets ahead of you. Then three cars on inters and then Lawson on full wets in 10th. Tsunoda on full wets is P6, just for reference.

Brake temps are increasing. Keep up the good work.

Yeah, Ollie, just be aware that your tyre temperatures are on the lowest side and there's nothing.

Yeah, because obviously it is before you come in the pitlane.

Just for info, 32 laps completed at the end of this one. 37 to go at the end of this one. Is it still raining? Yes, it is, yes. We need 5 metres ahead of you when you stop, so 5 metres ahead of you when you stop, please.

So just stopping and making sure you've got five metres ahead of you.

Unfortunately, this means that the RBs get to change tyres for free.

In fact, they'd already stopped, so it's less of a problem. Tsunoda's still P6.

OK, when you come to a stop, P1 and then P0, please.

Can you make sure you clean the mirrors before we get going again? I couldn't see anything.

Payday check.

Ready to take lock.

Radio check. Do you hear me?

Can you just go through my radio check?

Anyone on LUT?

OK, Oli. On the weather, it's just expected to stay like this. We're not expecting more till the end of the race. Stay at this intensity. Copy that. Staying at this intensity till the end of the race is the current expectation.

Okay, we're actually expecting this intensity to reduce in the next couple of minutes and then no more rain till the end of the race.

Safety car has left the leader. Leader is at 11. Brake warm-up if possible, Oli. Brake warm-up if possible.

Right. Leader is at turn 12.

Bunching the field up.

You need to close up as much as you can, Oli. Ocon's going to be going soon. The field is too spaced out.

Make sure you're in mode RS for the restart.

Oh, are you okay? Get back on track as soon as you can, please. Get back on track. Catch up with the cars.

Watch out for Joe behind you. Watch out for Joe behind you.

OK, brakes have started.

Zhou, 1.6 ahead.

So that's Sainz 1.4 seconds ahead.

Car ahead is Bottas.

BC1, please, BC1.

That's Sainz ahead of you.

There's a long way to go, so just look after the right-hand side tyres. We might need to go a long way on these.

I'm such an idiot, man.

Is the footbrake okay?

Driver default, Alpha 5-4-1, please.

OK, Oli, the next car is 10 seconds ahead of you. It's Zhou. OK, you're currently P16. There are 31 laps to go at the end of this one.

Zhou, 9.5 ahead. He's currently 8 tenths of a lap slower than you are.

Double yellow at turn 8. Double yellow at turn 8. Safety car, safety car, safety car. We're staying out. It's one of the Ferraris. Sainz is off at turn 8 on the outside.

Safety car is off track at pit exit.

Mode slow, please, Ollie. Mode slow.

Okay, this is the end of lap 39. There's still 30 laps to go, Oli, and there's an awful lot that can happen. So, we just need to stay on the track, keep within track limits, your speed is good, just need to focus, you know, and get back on track, alright? Yeah. Lots of other people have crashed and are not continuing. You're still on track, so that's a big plus.

So you've got those cars about nine seconds ahead with Zhou.

Zhou is six seconds behind Bottas. Bottas is dawdling along seven seconds behind the pack. I don't know why.

We're stuck on delta for now. OK, sorry, thought you crossed it twice, but you haven't. OK, that makes sense. So just follow your delta.

The point is, you've got really good pace, Oli, and there's an awful lot still to happen. So, let's just make sure we're around at the end to take advantage of anything else. Still double yellows, seven to nine. Marshalls are on track, just be careful.

One advantage you have is that you're on new tyres. Some of the cars ahead of you are on used tyres. I'm not sure of the different ages though.

At the moment we're still not expecting any more rain before the end of the race.

The safety car has the leader at turn 4.

I'm going to cross the control line for the second time, so no longer have to follow the delta after the control line.

OK, you're going to need to catch the field up quickly, Oli, because we think there may be a restart at the end of this lap. I'll keep you informed. But do keep it on the island. You're 12 seconds behind Zhou, who's 9 seconds behind Bottas. Bottas is just at the back of the pack.

Still double yellow, turn seven to nine, so take it easy through there. Double yellow, seven to nine.

OK, looks to me like we'll do another lap behind the safety car.

Where is the safety car? Safety car is currently going up the hill. So, yeah, it's going to do another lap.

Zhou is just about pulled onto the back of the field. You're nine seconds behind.

Okay, there you are, there you are, okay. Mode slow, please, mode slow.

Safety car is in this lap. Safety car is in this lap. You need to be in mode RS when you cross the control line.

So, you'll need to go to mode RS for the restart. Yeah, what position are we? You're in P15 at the moment.

Ok, leader's slowing the field down. He's going up the hill. He's approaching turn 12. Right, Ocon, the leader is going. Leader is... No, no he's not. No he's not. No he's not. The field is backing. The field is bunching up. Just be careful.

Still going slowly ahead, still going slowly ahead.

Be careful, be careful, field is bunching, field is bunching.

OK, OK, go, go, go, go, go.

Nice job, Olli. Bottas ahead of you.

Mode push, you're already in. Thank you.

Sweet, that's Perez ahead.

Yellow flag. Alonso is off ahead of you. OK. Still in the yellow. Out of yellow. Hamilton ahead.

Bottas, one second behind, no DRS.

Completing lap 44.25 to go. You're currently P12.

Bottas 1.6 behind, not a threat.

If understeer is your problem, suggest diff 22.

Finally, I think you snagged the BC button switch, so can you go back to BC1, please?

Right front tyre is getting a bit hot. Anything you can do to help that would be good. The only place you're losing time is a bit of inconsistency turn 1-2-3. Otherwise very good. Copy.

Excellent last lap, Ollie. Just try and maintain consistency. You're catching the cars ahead.

For understeer in the second part of the lap, suggest multi-A, P7 will help you.

Bottas 1.3 behind.

Yellow, turn 12. Double yellow. Okay, the car's moving again. Clear.

Did I get a position?

You're P12 still, you're P12. It was Piastri who went off but he got back on.

So there's five cars ahead of you. Piastri, Tsunoda, Lawson, Perez, Hamilton. So that's P7 up to P11. So let's just focus on hunting them down. See if we can take advantage of anything that happens later in the race. Hamilton 3.5 ahead, Bottas 2 seconds behind.

Your right front is still the hottest tyre, so anything you can do to help that will give you more grip in left-hand corners.

Okay, well it looks like you've got mid-corner understeer and then you're using the throttle aggressively to try and brake it. Suggest trying more E-B to try and help the rotation and being less aggressive with the throttle.

Watch the white line on turn 12 exit. I think that might be causing some of the snaps.

Driver default. Charlie 41 on, please.

And suggest diff 21 to help with mid-corner understeer.

Perez, one point eight ahead.

Just a reminder to be careful with your throttle pickup to avoid snaps.

Please press the oil pump button.

12 laps to go including this one. Perez three seconds ahead. Perez and Hamilton very close with Lawson.

Oli, through turn 15 please take a wide line. Remember what we talked about with skidware.

Please ignore what I said about 15, just stay on the dry line through 15.

Perez 2.1 ahead. Good job.

Perez, 4.9.

Nine laps to go, including this one.

Perez, 3.5.

Perez 3.4, seven laps to go, including this one.

Oli, we need SOC 6. There's not enough energy to finish the race.

Five laps to go. Perez four seconds ahead.

OK, only OK for SOC 5. SOC 5 is OK.

Four laps to go, including this one.

Good lap, Oli. Gained four tenths on Perez there.

Suggest EB6 to reduce mid-corner understeer.

Two more laps, including this one.

Starting the last time lap.

OK, Oli, check your flag. That was a tough one. Well done for getting to the end, mate.

Can we have charge on, please? Charge on.

Yeah. Thanks everyone. Sorry, too many mistakes out there. It was a fucking hard race. They don't get any harder than that, I think, Oli. So, you know, it's early days, isn't it? And you'll have learnt an awful lot, and we've made some mistakes as well, so we've got a lot to learn on our side. So we do this together. Thanks for being with us. Really appreciated it. Thanks.

Yeah, I think it's a lot of hard work. I'm sorry, especially after that flag. I struggled a lot.

Anyway, Ollie, so Verstappen won the race. Ocon was P2. Gasly P3. Russell P4. Leclerc P5. Norris 6. Tsunoda 7th. Piastri 8th. Lawson 9th. Hamilton got the last point in P10. Obviously, Perez just ahead of you and then yourself in P12.

There's lots of pace and potential there. We can do a lot better. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that hurts a bit.

I know, but it's early days. I'm not concerned. We can do it.

Okay, so when you come in, you'll go from P2 to P1 and then after a pause to P0, please.

And then we'll see you back in the office.
