We go intel, no? Why are we doing extreme? So that was the call from strategy, extreme weight. Do we have time to go against it? Let's get it drier now. Please. So we're just splitting cars. We think there's still a lot of standing water. We're splitting cars.

OK.

I will not be a safety car start.

We need rain to fall then.

OK, second gear, 35 percent. Slow release. Do not release the clutch until you've passed the white line where you are. And you were asking me something?

Yeah, we need the rain to fall. We thought we were fucked. Yes. I'm going. Have a good one. Clear comps with me. OK. I left the flapper at the east of the lap circuit.

Can you read the forecast for me?

Carlos, in the meantime, for me, please, green 12, position 3. Green 12, position 3 for these tyres. OK, latest forecast is no rain for 20 minutes, some light only, and there's some more rain coming 20-25 minutes. Currently, it's blue, and then 35 minutes away.

So, formation lap will be starting behind the safety car, formation lap will be starting behind the safety car and there's potentially orange-red rain coming 40 minutes away.

So, Carlos, we start green 12 position 3, that is 75 percent, and then soon I may call to go to position 1. Always stay like this if it's fine.

OK.

Currently only light reserve. Only light reserve currently.

Did you check from the engine? That's three minutes.

How many laps behind the safety car? Will be standing or rolling? We do not have the information. I'm off tyres, everybody on inter, but you, everybody on inter. Yeah, I'm not surprised.

Carlos, we are still green 12 position 4 and we need to work well the brakes for the start of the circuit. Where do you want to go, green 12 position? 3, please. 3 to start. Information, anyway, we are going to have the override.

One minute 45 at 90 seconds will be the last power lap. One power lap. Limiter on and confirm, please.

You need to point, point.

Go back on track.

How long is the sprint race in theory? 19 laps. In terms of time? 1 hour.

So, with these tyres, let's try to protect temperature. So, we've got a wet patch. Try to understand where is aquaplaning, where is not.

Juliet, top right point. At low right point.

Five, four, three, two, one and your perimeter is not on. Not on.

That's Gullfoss. Please watch out the river at turn 3 and Gullfoss.

20.4, it has dropped half-time, dropped half-time. It's rain. Blue light, blue, 10 minutes.

Celtic are still ahead of the Montebelli.

Minimum will be one more lap density car, minimum one more density car.

Watch out, dry line turn 17, Verstappen went straight.

This is a target on these tyres. The high-level rear is 5.5. High-level jump rear 5.5.

Perhaps at least one more lap behind City. Yeah, one more lap.

Just remember, everyone around you on inter will struggle with temperature. Alex is just above 50 degrees.

OK. Formated. Truck is ready.

Procedure suspended.

Guys, it's a head. What does that mean? It means everyone will go back to the grid. It will be a new start for us here. That's red and black.

Open everyone back to the grid. Take your grid slot. Everyone will be coming back. Tyre change will be allowed. Tyre change will be allowed.

OK, correction, that would be pitlane. Everybody will line up in the pitlane. Remember to leave a gap to the car ahead and a gap to the car behind you.

What was the reason for this? Probably unsafe starting condition. We don't have details but we guess visibility of standing water or the fact everybody is having cold tyres behind safety car.

You will have at least 10 seconds to jump out. We have an opportunity to reset.

No transcript available

Turkish and Carlos, can you hear me?

Braking check anyway? Yeah, all good.

1-2, can you hear me? Radio check. Yeah, can you hear me? Radio check. Can you hear me? Radio check.

Radio check. Radio check. Now. Now I can hear you. Yep. So I was saying flap with two down compared to dry. Alex is three, which put us in a similar ballpark in aerobalance compared to him with our rear wheel mechanical. In terms of tyres, we think that it's going to be rear limited, not front limited. So I think with the mechanical, if we want to protect the rear, we'd have to go back one down and not do the one up that we did. In terms of start, second gear start, 35 percent. Slow release, you were on target at the formation lap. OK. Are you happy for the flap and going one down? Only one from QALY. So we're connecting two down from QALY. I'm happy to add one. OK.

Carlos, radio check from Geysam station. We are good. Thank you. Let's do the threshold a bit, Marco, on these conditions. I need to open again a bit earlier.

Have a good run, I'm going to position 8.

Remember, it's going to be two laps less race distance, 17 laps. Good combs on the tyre. As soon as you have rear axle overheating, use the dry, the wet patches, cool down the tyres. Be potentially focused on the rear overheating management and clear combs on the tyre. And when we have a window on the crossover, will be our used medium.

Carlos, for these conditions to be meek, you can go back to 4 if you need, or you can start 5 before the race start when there is traffic, and then 4 in lap 1 or 2. Yeah, I agree.

Let's have a look back on the weather. Situation is still improving. Dropout times for the next 30 minutes.

Carlos, one minute before the start. We know the start is secure.

And ready check on the DLR. DLR, good.

Okay, Carlos, so three minutes will be at least two laps behind the safety car. Remember, max work on retaining temperature. Focus on the rear.

Just in case it's dry, when would I be able to box at the end of those two laps?

Start has not happened. We'll wait for that. Thank you.

We are doing the switch setting for helping the rear axle warm up.

Yeah, if you can give me even more than that, just to make sure we have a strong first lap. OK, copy. So you can go green to out position four. And the formation lap we already quite maxed out, so that's already high. OK, and then we'll remove it after one lap. Green to out position four. Then we can see where we are.

90 seconds, I will continue to online confirm.

If it is a stunning start, the grid will together, using the position from Charles, that would be right-hand side start for you, P14, only if grid start is stunning start.

Okay, you're sure, yeah? Yep.

Remember, focus on changing the temperature. We have a plan to use the brakes to this.

Go front, please go front.

Minimum two laps behind Sechica and back on track condition when you can.

Yes. Optimal rotation for inter.

Track is ready to race. Copy that.

Could be at least one more lap behind Settica. One more lap.

Put on your tyres.

Where are you at, Alex? Use the brakes.

Standing start confirm. P14 right-hand side.

The standing start procedure, looking at five burnouts, at turn 18, just after you pass pit entry, you can start the burnouts, five burnouts, starting right-hand side, P14.

Keep working the tyres, keep working the tyres.

Five burnouts. Right-hand side. First car directly ahead of you will be Gasly.

We are OK for U-turn.

Four more cars to stop on the grid.

I need more cars. More cars.

Go race, go race.

F8.5, gas behind 1.5, E13.

A bit 0.4, behind 0.6. 14 to go.

Suggestion, six gear pedal. Six gear pedal.

At point six, Gasly behind point six.

Turn 8, focus positioning, Ocon turn 5. Let's drive a little bit to make sure.

0.7, 0.7.

Occam point 4. Bit wet to go. Not now, but later when you can be back on track condition. Entire choice.

Ocon, point seven. Point seven.

Ocon, point four.

Slip on 7, on 8. Let's use all the wet patches we can. All the wet patches.

Eleven to go, the same from Gasly.

We need green 12 position 1 for rear tyres. Green 12 position 1. I'm already there from a while ago. Be awake.

I think you can take brake balance forward. I will have tyres Ocon 1.2.

Ocon, P9, back on track condition and tyre choice, please.

Yeah, right now, it's still faster than slick, but by a little bit.

Ocon, point six. Point six.

That's nine to go, Ocon, 0.69 to go.

Okay, now it's a little bit quicker.

I just don't know if it's worth it.

OK, I'll come for 3.300 feet back. DRS enabled.

A good lap. Next car Stroll 1.9. 8 to go. DRS enabled. Last lap of Stroll was 44.4.

Swift feature.

Cleared 1.0.

Okay, I should have had DRS, I think. Box, box, box, box.

Green 12, position 4 to have tyre warm-up. Green 12, position 4. Tyre selection to D1. Tyre selection to D1 before you stop. Slippery box. On max. All brakes. Watch the light. It will be 7 to go.

Watch out for the exit. Watch out for the exit. It will be more slippery.

Good to see you, medium. What the fuck?

It's 73rd tyre for tomorrow.

I've got to get out of here. I've got to go.

Are you OK? Are you OK?

Do you have damage on the car, question? Yes. Yes. So damage on the car, turn 14. Rear left puncture, so diff mid P. Diff mid P and box, box.

OK, we will box to the tyre, box to the tyre, so keep mid-pit and go slow, go slow, don't fall behind. First lap behind at 26 seconds.

Is he in the corners? Is he in Norfolk behind? He's in Norfolk behind.

So you stop in front of the garage, re-timing the car.

All of us. Fourteen laps.

Yeah, I just slightly kicked the U14 on the offset.

I have understeer at turn 80.

Okay, Carlos, we're reset. Get back and call in.

With the lap count, it's got way too seven in it. I think you should not be classified but just get out of the way and don't trip us up. Let's make sure we can check the whole car now before calling and get it ready for calling. Yeah, sure, for that. Pace was good on engine.

Yeah, that was encouraging.
