Okay, so, Lando, they are going to start behind the formation lap. Sorry, they're going to start the formation lap behind the safety car. Everyone except Hamilton is on inter, I believe.

You are allowed to let the safety car go so that she can push properly through turn one.

Correction, Hamilton switched to Inters. It's only Sainz on full work. Susan, 15th.

Lando, just confirming the tyre fell. Sainz's car on one.

So Lando, we're going to leave the launch map on. Then we can turn it off whenever we like, but leave it on for the moment until we know what kind of start we're going to get.

30 seconds, my guys.

Fifteen seconds.

Can I run with recharge off? Yeah, that's fine.

Is first gear or second gear launch? Second gear launch.

And Lando, launch VBAC, that was on target and timing was good.

Landed over at least one more lap behind the safety car. At least one more lap.

Lando, Lando, minor. Purple C13, position 10, please. Purple C13, position 10.

Lando, any feedback on the track? It seems, I mean, it's pretty wet still. Visibility is very poor. But it's getting a little bit better.

Who's the car behind me?

Listen, Russell, Verstappen went off track. He will recover his position.

Starting procedure has been suspended.

We must enter the pitlane behind the safety car. It's a red flag, red flag.

Safety car will enter the pitlane. You must enter the pitlane behind the safety car.

And pit limits are on.

Lando, do not go in the fast lane. Sorry, cancel that.

Why did they stop it?

We'll get an update for you.

I mean all we needed to do was like two more laps behind the safety car and it would have been fine to go.

Sorry, can I get out? Everyone's getting out.

Did you hear me?

No? You can't hear me?

Oh, you can't talk to me? We can hear you from the carriage, Lando. Oh, right. Can I get out? I've not heard a 10-minute warning yet, have I? I can get out? Cool. I mean, the best bet's probably for them to wait until the next bit of rain comes over, otherwise it's just going to be a red flag straight away.

We're ready to check on the driver, General.

Yeah, similar to mechanics general.

But, Joe, actually, I'll talk about it.

Go to Parc fermé. Parc fermé.

Can you hear me? Yeah.

Lando, we expect at least two laps behind the safety car. Two laps.

And Lando, happy to go to the rest position on the C-switch.

Point seven.

Go to Parc fermé. Go to Parc fermé. Go to Parc fermé.

Just a quick ready check out of the pitlane. Yep, loud and clear. Yep, loud and clear.

Lando, any feedback on track condition? Yeah, much better, I think. Still a good amount of spray down the straights, but a lot better than it was. And any feedback on left to right on the start-finish rate when you go through there, please?

No, no comments really.

Lando, sorry, can you just repeat what you said at the start and finish line? It's too difficult to tell. It's difficult to say.

That'll be a standing start.

OK, Lando, C6 position is good for the launch. No need to change that. It's going to be two to three burnouts just to clear the tyres. Remember it's the second launch, second gear, and remember the longer hold.

Just think about your brake balance. Last car approaching the grid.

All right, I'll launch my path, if it's OK.

At minor, white H2, position 3. White H2, position 3. How's the track?

Yeah, all good. Drying up a little bit.

Jeff, ready. All ready.

Fernando, no further rain expected. If you're not doing it already, consider wet patches.

Verstappen behind is 1.4 and Antonelli 3. Our next decision will be transition to DRS. We will be responsible.

Right-hand tyre temperatures are high.

LNO opportunity. Second gear may help in turn one with rotation. The pack behind is very condensed.

Eleven laps to go.

Minor. Purple C6 position one. Purple C6 position one.

How's the track? It's drying, but it's not slick here.

And Lando, opportunity, turn 17, corner discipline, focus on exit.

Lando, some gaps behind you. Russell 8.8, then Hamilton 13.7.

And you've got Alonso 15.4 and Lawson 17.9.

DRS is enabled.

Tsunoda was towards the back. He's just pitted for a medium.

Yes, it could be getting close now.

There are seven pull-ups remaining.

I know other cars are taking it. At the moment, you would lose five positions. Would you want a medium or a soft? We think medium. A soft. Understood. Soft.

Are they much quicker?

Tsunoda faster in the middle by one second.

Not quick enough for us yet, considering the number of places we'd lose.

So Tsunoda is quicker in sector one. Sector two was still damp.

The track hasn't had to change. Double yellow flags turn 15.

I know Oscar is going to take it this lap, therefore we need to stay out. Yeah, he cut the corner.

Strat 9. A lot of debris in the chicane.

You can't avoid it. It's all over the track. Turn 1340. Okay, debris 1340. Got it.

How much thicker are they?

Do we need to box? If you tell me I need to box, I'll box.

I'm trying to work it out, mate. Tsunoda's done a 30.8-0 last time. Our gap to Oscar is 19.5. How many laps to go after this? Three. After this, four.

What do you want me to do? We think we should take it. We think the drive's going to get quicker. Box is lapping us. Coming in. Box, box, London. Silver D5. Silver D5. And launch map on. Launch map on. Silver D5. Silver D5.

Launch back, launch back, launch back. I think safety car, safety car, safety car.

OK, the safety car is the car ahead of you.

Alonso's in the wall, turn 12. Lots of debris.

And recharge on.

And green F3. Green F3.

Where is he in the wall, sir? At turn 12. And can you just toggle the launch pad back on when you're done? I think you're on.

It's the outside of 12, I believe. Lots of debris. It's very terrible. It was on. I go off and on, or what? Like now I've put it off. Put it on. It will stay on. It's all good. Confirm.

OK, full concentration here.

Any places I need to watch out for? Damp bits, I guess, turn 14, 15, 16 now. Seems the worst, but you're giving me no info. Yeah, give me a second.

White H2, position 1. White H2, position 1. The onboards are very difficult, so definitely the chicane. Pretty much wherever there's shade from the flyovers is probably going to be the worst places.

In GPS, turn 13 to turn 16 was the most difficult.

Three laps to go from here.

And minor. Aces possible.

My dash says next lap is last lap. I guess that's wrong, right?

And still double yellows turn 12. The car has not moved at all.

And suggest red A5, red A5, just losing a bit of front tyre temperature.

There is a recovery vehicle on track.

And Strat 9, please. Strat 9. The crane is moving the car now, and I think the crane is moving back towards turn 11 to begin.

So, Lando, the safety car will come in this lap. You just proceed over the start-finish line and see there's no overtaking up to that line.

Cool, 3-1, water.

Yeah, lovely job. Well done, boys.

And we'll go to the grid, Lando. You'll stop around position 12.

Lando, shall we buy a lottery ticket?

AB, you can have it.

And confirming, going to the grid. The boards are out for you. Pace was strong there. Qualify next, I'm excited.
