Oscar, radio and drink check. Radio check and I will get back to you on drinks.

Tricks are good. Excellent.

Oscar, latest is rain expected, class 1-2. Approximately 15 minutes in, that's around lap 7.

Oscar, your whole timing is about 0.2 seconds short. 0.2 short. Yep. OK.

Tyre info, everybody on Inter, the new starter, new inters are Lowson and all the cars behind you. Have a good race.

Thank you.

Thirty seconds to go.

20.

Turn.

Round 5.

Now it's going to be a lift into turn 4.

I think it's going to dry very quickly. Copy that, Oscar. Clutch drop was good, lifted to turn 6 and no more full load after turn 6.

Oscar, there's currently yellow flags turn 4. Stroll's gone off. I will let you know.

So it's going to be a lift into turn 12. Stroll is currently stopped.

So it's going to be a left approaching the back of the grid.

Confirming 5.5 and then 3 burnouts.

Oscar Stroll has still not moved. Still double yellowed turn 4.

Oscar, the last cars are forming up now. Still no update, so assume it's proceeding.

Abort at start. Abort at start. Pit limiter on. Recharge on. No full load.

So, it's going to be big lifts. Every big corner is on track. Still double yellows turn flag and recovery vehicle on track turn full tech there.

Still lift and no full load, please. That's good.

Oscar, another lift into turn 12. Some cars were stuck on the grid. They just get moving now. They're into turn 1.

And there will be no bike confined. Lift to the back of the grid.

And no burnouts.

So, Oscar, they will give a 10-minute warning, so you will just stop in a grid slot and turn the engine off.

So, Oscar, we will start again at the 10 minute signal for the start procedure. If you can wait in the car, but you can shut the engine off.

Okay, formation lap starts in 9 minutes and 50 seconds.

Seems quite a lot darker already than the formation lap.

No transcript available

Do we still think there's rain on the way? In, I assume, about five minutes now?

Runway in double check.

No rain expected for 10 minutes. Then the risk of showers increases. Class 1 or 2. We're seeing them warm up. Difficult to track them coming in.

Oscar, weather stations are showing the wind has picked up in strength. Okay, and which direction or just gusty air? All sorts of directions.

It's gusty, Oscar. Probably a tailwind into turn 12. So we don't think the direction has changed.

Yep. OK.

30 seconds.

Twenty seconds.

10 seconds.

The clutch drop was good and in the lift at turn 4. We see showers forming out now, but we're close to the race start.

Lift to turn 6 and hold the throttle.

There's going to be another lift at turn 12.

There will be a lift as you approach the back of the grid. Launch instructions, it will be no by-point find and two burnouts from P20. No by-point find, two burnouts from P20.

And we have reports of plus one rain into the first corners or around the whole track.

The last cars are forming up now.

Launch map off.

Alonso, 0.6.

Last two in pitlane.

Alonso, 1.3.

It's a bit of fast through rain here.

Manage front right if you can. Manage front right if you can. We expect this class 1-2 until lap 25.

Stay patient on the bump in turn 3, Oscar. This is good, this is okay. Verstappen is now a car behind, two and a half.

Purple default, 4-1-X. Purple default, 4-1-X.

Verstappen 0.5. Now class 1 in the pitlane. We'd like to get to target lap if we can.

Verstappen, 0.5.

Okay, let's try and bring the front right temperature under control if you can.

Aces, Spartans, ACS.

If possible, further right and start finish line.

Still class 1 for 2 here in pitlane.

Now expect this rain till lap 30.

For turn 12, suggest top right toggle. Top right toggle. Possibly later turning.

I think we're getting a bit wetter now.

Copied. Fast two at least in pitlane now. Reminder, top left toggle turn one.

Still expecting more rain around lap 30. This is lap 18.

Turn 12 was better. Opportunity, another step of the same. One more tenth.

Turn 12. Reminder, setting up exit doesn't work.

It's turn 12. How's the tyre and conditions?

Tyres are gaping. Stay here.

I'm struggling a lot with the rear.

Consider green shape 4 and down on mids to help rear. Green shape 4, down on mid.

Rain has picked up a bit. Oscar, rain has picked up.

We are in the window for both safety car types.

When we pit, I'll come down one on front wing.

If possible, turn 15, half a car width further right.

Leclerc has pitted.

Heavier rain, so far only Leclerc in this position. Yeah, it's definitely getting a bit wetter right here now.

Car looks OK. Oscar's car looks OK. Leclerc is stuck behind Hamilton.

Last three now.

Yeah, it's getting really bad now. Copy.

There are double yellows. Hulkenberg stops turn 1. BSC, Oscar. BSC. Box. Box.

Oscar pitlane, a lot of water pit entry. Copy. Car pull into the box then. Launch map, launch map.

And launch prop off.

Be careful, the pit exit will be wet.

It's still BSC, still BSC.

Rain is very heavy, but it should not last long. Oscar, this rain should not last long. Cars have all pitted for inters.

Yeah, there's a lot of static water here now. Copy. Expected to clear pretty quickly. So Lawson has stayed out. Gasly stayed out.

Colapinto stayed out, he's behind you.

BSC ending. Recharge off. Recharge off.

Tyres and brakes are cool. Red mid-pipe.

I think we need widths.

This should not last long, so just stay out if possible. Stay out. I'm struggling to keep on the track.

I can't see a thing.

So, some cars still haven't stopped. Keep it on track. Hey, we need a red flag. It's ridiculous out here now. Copy. Class 4 in pitlane. You're doing a good job.

All cars are staying on Inter. All cars still on E-Inter.

Safety car, safety car.

Man, I think even the wet will struggle in this. Like, I can't even drive normally at this speed.

All cars are staying out. All cars are staying out.

The front straight is like a booming pool, man. I can't even go past half-throttle and I have no idea where the track's going.

Mate, there's standing water everywhere. The wets would not survive this.

So the safety car is now in turn nine to ten.

Rain is now easing in pitlane class 1-2 again.

I can't race like this on these tyres. Either we need to put wits on or they need to stop the race, or both.

Best thing is to stay out. Best thing is to stay out. I appreciate it's super difficult.

Other drivers are making similar comments.

There is oil coming down the track from the back of Colapinto's car, so it's best far to the left, but take great care past that car.

We'll box this lap. Box this lap. We'll pull up in the fast lane. Leave enough gap to Leclerc ahead.

Oscar, I don't have a restart time yet, so once you've got your position in the pitlane, you can switch your car off. Happy to stay in for the moment.

If getting out is going to be a great help for you, then you can, but we may need you to get back in very quickly. Okay, I would rather get out if I can.

I can stay with my helmet on and stuff.

Can I jump out?

No transcript available

Oscar, radio check. Yep, radio check and drinks are good. You want the umbrella? Yeah, but I have one.

That's a quarter of a minute.

Oscar, can you switch pit limiter off? We'll turn it back on after the fire-up. And for turn 1, suggest top left toggle. Yep.

20 seconds to go.

10 seconds, Oscar. Safety control will do one lap and then come in. Roll and start.

Green light now.

Fuck.

Is there anyone on the way? Is there anyone on the way? Welcome to the Cosmos. I'm coming out so far. I'm in front of you on the left. I'm turning absolutely hard. Cosmos confirmed. Cosmos confirmed.

Confirming all cars on inter, Oscar. Everybody on inter.

Oscar, out of visibility.

Pretty shocking. This is the best part.

I'll constantly give back hop from the safety car.

Safety car turn 12.

Safety car, turn 14.

Safety car, pit at 3.

Just toggle for turn 1.

The visibility is too bad. No one can see anything. We're all half throttle down the straights.

Tsunoda 1.1 behind.

Pitlane is class 1-2. Tsunoda 3.

Adjust brake balance rearwards one click and then top right final corner.

Pitlane is now class half. Class half only.

Gap to Tsunoda is now six seconds. Doing a good job pulling on those cars behind.

Consider 1% down brake balance.

Safety car, safety car.

Delta positive. We're staying out. This is Sainz in the barriers. Exit turn 7.

I'll speak to recharge on.

Keep temperature where you can. You can go recharge off on the straights if that was to help.

White H13, position 3.

So, Sainz is on the outside now of turn 8. I believe he may be moving again, trying to get the car to a safe position. Take care through here.

So, Oscar, picture update. That's Leclerc and Lando ahead. Behind you, Tsunoda, Hamilton, Alonso. You were pulling a good gap on those cars. Got up to about six seconds before the safety car.

Before the front lock-up, you were a tenth quicker than the other car. You need to remember the top left toggle for turn 1 to protect that lock-up.

Feedback from the Carlos accident was the white line. He lost the car on the white line.

Okay, let's go recharge on and strat 9 for the restart.

I think there's potentially still people and cars in the barriers around turn 8, so take care turn 8.

The rain has stopped and there is not more rain on the radar at the moment.

White default 2-2-X. That's a white default 2-2-X.

Oscar, the rear locking you're feeling is after the downshifts, but with recharge on. For the restart, we still suggest to go with the rearwards brake bias.

I will be in press lap. Safety car will be in this lap.

Park, all front left, especially at P5. All front left, understeer at P7. All front left, understeer at P7.

I can't drop it back now. Safety car turn at double.

Tyre pressures are okay.

You can still go rearwards B-Bal or at least top-ex turn 1-0.

Pushkin let Lando pass into turn 4. Swap position into turn 4.

Tsunoda is 2.4 behind Lando. 2.5.

Last lap is nine tenths faster than Tsunoda.

Leclerc is being investigated for rejoining unsafely.

Update Leclerc, no further investigation.

Yuki Tsunoda 1.7.

Weather update. Could be class 1 to 2 for five laps around lap 60. Currently lap 52.

Oscar, we see a rear offloading like in Miami. Same as Miami.

Fuck, you are faster or matching cars ahead.

14 laps to go. Gap to Tsunoda is now four seconds.

Second three was purple, good final corner.

Oscar, looks like that rain we were expecting now has fizzled out. No rain expected.

There's nine laps to go. Tsunoda 6.4.

Tsunoda is the only car in your 10 second window.

Five laps to go.

OK, you've got the other cars covered. Tsunoda last lap, 22.0.

Three super clean laps now. Three laps.

We're about to start the last lap. Use early overtake at turn three.

Okay, that's the chequered flag. We've finished P7 on track. We will lose one place to Tsunoda.

White 8, 11, position 12. White 8, 11, position 12. Leave recharge on.

Finishing order was Verstappen, Ocon, Gasly, Russell, Leclerc, Lando, Tsunoda, yourself, Lawson, Hamilton.

Yep.

Yeah, so, Ducros just lacked a lot of pace, I think. Just no rear grips. Thanks for the effort and sorry for a scruffy day.

Okay, so box this lap back into the pitlane, get to Parc fermé, kill the engine, wait five, and then pull it off. So, Oscar, Constructors' Championship hasn't been too badly affected today. We're still on with that, three to go.
