Quick question, behind the safety car, you want me to stay in mode 12 or something different?

That's one and a half minutes, Max. Short weather update. So in 20 to 25 minutes we are expecting that rain we were discussing on the grid.

Intensity unknown at this stage. Duration should be five to ten minutes. I'll keep you updated nearer the time.

I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90. I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90. I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90. I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90. I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90. That's 25 seconds, Max. And so just put a number on that. That's around lap 15-16 where we expect the rain. That's 15-16. Five seconds.

Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe!

It's getting quite dry here already. Yeah, I understand that. If I can confirm, Max, it will be a standing start. Standing start.

The lights of the safety car are out. Yes, that's correct. The safety car will pit this lap and it will be a normal standing start. Standing start. OK, so I can let it go, yeah? Yes, if its lights are out.

What are your thoughts on conditions, Max? I still slip into it. OK, understood. Quite a lot of communication up and down the field about changing.

Definitely hit this. Understood.

Going to ride a three long burnouts, Max. It's going to be a gear two long.

Last car approaching back of the grid now.

Just keeping you posted on conditions, Max. We've got Russell, Leclerc. Yes, Mitch.

I think the consideration is there for sector 3, Max. Yeah, we don't sweat the reds. We don't let you at 6.

OK, so just confirming, we are staying out. Staying out. Yeah, yeah. Understood.

Max, if you see the safety car, box this lap, please. If you see safety car, box this lap.

Display 10, position 1 when you can.

Vert to safety car. Vert to safety car. Dash positive. Dash positive.

Thoughts on conditions, Max? It's the last sector that's really well made.

Yeah, the rest, like here, probably doable, but that last section is wet. Yep.

Understood, so we're staying out for the moment.

Just keep the tyres cool, Max. Keep the tyres cool.

Follow me to the right.

Drivers that have switched to slicks include Russell, Leclerc, Hadjar, Bearman, Antonelli.

Really cool. The left-hand side tyres at particular max where you can. They were well above the window after lap one.

OK, double yellows now. Only entry turn 5. Turn 6. BSC entry.

We've got yellows at turn 9. Bortoleto has stopped.

Max, if you see safety car, can you box? If you see safety car, we will box.

What are the slicks doing in that last sector?

We didn't receive the last sector, but their last lap time was still seven seconds slower than yours. The previous lap, Max Russell, the lead car, his final sector was four seconds off. His middle sector was two seconds off, and his first sector was about the same.

The only problem I have is that my tyres are overheating massively due to the McLarens.

I take it to radiance for the interim tyres. OK, understood.

Let's have mode 6, please, Max, and a front flap update for a second inter. It's fine.

Look, it really starts to hit hard. We need to box. Really bad interest. Here we go, it starts drizzling a bit already. OK, on the setbacks.

OK, rain may have gotten heavier at turn 7 this lap, Max.

Box, we need box. Okay, understood.

Crash, just confirm you're happy with the flap.

I just have no rear dampers. Box and pit confirm, please, Max. Box, pit confirm.

Racing Albon. He's passed.

Expecting conditions to worsen in two minutes, Max, so look after the tyres.

Max, what are your thoughts on B-Bal 7, just for a forwards peak?

I need to focus on driving.

Just need to try and survive these next two or three minutes, mate.

Safeguard, deploy back. Safeguard, dash positive, now deployed, dash positive.

So just another one or two minutes of this rain intensity match and then it will tail off.

After this shower, Max, we are not expecting any more rain till the end of the race.

My delta is in horrible place. It's hard to be consistent with it. OK, understood. You are positive, so just stay on the safe side for now.

OK, Max, so rain has stopped here at Pitwall and no more rain expected.

OK, safety car is in at this lap. Safety car in at this lap.

Strat 2. Mode 3. Strat 2. Obviously the tyres are 20 degrees below our window max. So take care. Opening lap.

Target for this stint is to make the inter last to the crossover.

This is Hadjar. Exit turn 9.

B is OK. Hadjar is OK. OK. OK, good to know.

There was a big river at turn 2. Almost understeered off. Yeah, copy that. Sun's out now, as you can see, so hopefully it dries up pretty quickly.

OK, Max. So, recovery vehicle on track at turn 9.

OK, let's take the car ahead this lap.

Oh mate, jesus, he's just suddenly against the start.

What's that? Yeah, I know. What's that?

I can't even stay without it. It's so slow.

DRS now enabled, Max. DRS enabled.

Mode 7, please. Maximum at 7.

Back circuit and thoughts on conditions, please.

It's still too wet. Let's keep an eye on what's happening out in front of me.

It's Alonso that fucks, right? Yes.

It's the last sector still. Understood.

I did a sector slip.

So, Russell's taken to the grass at turn 11-12.

Holds on conditions, Max. Yeah, it's not working, mate.

That's right, but you need to let me know the sector, the last sector.

Trapped as well, we'll put it low back.

Strat 7, please. And tyre 8. Strat 7, tyre 8.

That's 11 bracing laps included in this one, Max. 11 bracing laps.

Stroll ahead, soft tyres.

Fucking hell!

My disguise is a problem. Fuck!

I have way too much flooring in the car.

Yeah, five laps remaining.

Max Gatiss-Stroll is closing rapidly. Less than four seconds, four laps remaining. His pace is the low 32s.

Throttle 33.1.

OK, Max. Fairways 4, please, mate. Bad luck.

Yeah, good effort, good recovery, Max. As the track dried, it was obviously very difficult for you out there in the wet, so, you know, good effort today.

It's really tough, really, really difficult. But, yeah, I mean, yesterday it was all right with the green, but today that was really difficult.
