Radio check. Cool. Loud and clear.

Apparently the formation lap will start behind the safety car. Do you see the revised number down there?

So Lando, the safety goal, pull away from the front row of the cars. You're allowed to leave a gap so that you can push through turn 1-2. Latest weather is class 2 to class 3. We'll start somewhere between lap 11 and lap 16 and last for 10 minutes. So our goal is to try and get there.

Lando, fire info. Everybody starts in 10.

Yeah, obviously I'm with how sunny it might be now and the laps, like the inters could go quite quickly. So it's my only concern about the rain then is having to make a decision potentially.

Because they could become slicks quite quickly.

4.9

Full point.

1.3.

1.3

30 seconds to go. Run.

Lando, can we have purple C7 position 1, please? Purple C7 position 1. 20 seconds to go.

30 seconds.

Some dry lines in places. Quite, yeah, completely dry lining instead of 3-4. Copy that. Dry all the way down, I think, to 7-6.

Standing start declared.

Let me know the radio. I feel like some people could box here. Yeah, we're on that, Lando.

Lando, what's your feedback?

It's tough but I think it's going to dry pretty quickly. That's my only thing. A little bit more damp than I expect it's.

Go ahead.

Lando, you can follow the safety car in if you want.

No, last sector's too wet. Last sector's completely wet. Stay out. OK, copy that. So we'll need purple C6 position 11 before the burnouts. That's purple C6 position 11.

And Lando, launch me back to a target plus two. Your timing was good. We want full burnouts. Full burnouts.

Last car approaching the grid.

Launch map off is OK.

Lando, how's the track?

Yeah, I mean, I would say it slicks, it's just the end of the final section is too wet.

The question is, what would it be like in two or three laps time if there's a safety car?

Double yellows from virtual safety car. Virtual safety car deployed.

It's just, it's too wet in the final sector still, mate. You're all shut. Still? OK. So, Russell, Leclerc, Hadjar and a couple of other cars, they started on slicks.

Russell was much slower than us. Lawson stopped on the right-hand side.

Sector one, dry. Sector two, first half dry, second half, I expect it's more damp. Last sector, full wet.

You happy that I passed the message?

Lando, Russell was significantly slower than us through sector 3. If they put a false safety car out, I suggest we take it this time. If they do, it's not looking like they will, but just be ready.

Rain expected in 19 minutes. 19 minutes.

Still double yellows from turn 5 to turn 6. Car is being moved.

The thing is, I think these inters will start to die and their performance in the intermediate last sector will not be that good, but it is extremely wet, so very high risk with the slick still.

So, let's have your picture as you come through this time.

Yes, it's just, it's still completely wet. Not really got any better yet. It's probably more I need feedback on what you guys see, but it's...

But it's too wet, I think, at the minute, the final sector. OK. But I don't think any feedback on what Russell and the other slick drivers are like in the last sector, so just watch their onboard and let me know. Understood. OK. There's rain expected in 10 minutes. There's rain in 10 minutes.

Virtual safety car ending, virtual safety car ending.

Quicker than Russell and Leclerc everywhere at the moment.

Work on your high speed. Limit your brake pressures.

There's yellow flags through turn 9. Bortoleto off-track on the right-hand side.

And virtual safety car deployed. Virtual safety car deployed. So at the moment, Russell Leclerc slower in places like turn 1-2, quicker through 6-7.

The time before, Russell was four seconds slower in sector three.

Yeah, confirm. Lane expected in seven minutes. Yeah, these tyres were pretty dead already, that's the problem.

Tool them wherever you can.

And Lando suggests Strat 7. Strat 7 still yellows from the entrance to 9 until turn 10.

High speed, the last lap was good.

So, Lando, latest weather. The rain is coming, possibly in a couple of laps. Could last 10 to 15 minutes. The question will be if we need to fit a new inter. We think we probably will, but we don't want to do it too early that we kill it before it comes. And, Lando, we've had our first strike for track limits turn 6.

Lando, if we stop for another inter, happy with this front wing?

Lando, ACS button press, please.

Virtual safety car ending, virtual safety car ending.

Rain will hit turn 7 first.

And DRS enabled. Red A4. Suggest red A4.

Light drops turn 7, red A3.

Lando, focus on the exits, we're losing too much.

Might be wetter at 7 and 8.

Opportunity, early throttle pickup out of turn one. Rain is picking up.

Marshall post reports rain. All sector one and two. We think we should box this lap.

That has just been boxed this lap.

Oxford lap, Oxford lap.

Lando, you'll have to watch for the hands for the marker point. Hands for the marker point.

Launch back on the pitlane. Launch back.

Launch back, launch back, launch back.

We expect at least 10 minutes of rain.

Rain intensity might increase in five minutes up to class three to class four.

Suggest red A4 and blue B4.

Yeah, it seems already class 3-4 now.

This rain is expected to last seven more minutes and then nothing after that. Just got to keep it on track.

Stage car deployed. Stage car deployed. Yeah, it's too much right now.

Is that for visibility or grip? Both, aquaplaning turn 1.

Lando, we think the safety car will navigate us through the worst of this race.

The rain is easing in the pitlane.

Lando, can you toggle the recharge button on and then off, please?

Lando, in terms of opportunities that we've seen consistently in these conditions, turn 1, you're braking a little bit too late. Holding 6th gear when it dries up a bit is ideal. Right now your teammate is basically, once he's back on throttle, he's flat. Yeah, OK. I mean, I was saving a lot there. I was trying to have better tyres for when it was raining, but yeah, other opportunities. And then high-speed magnets back, it's just limiting that brake pressure.

Yeah, in which pit? All of it. Mainly for the final bit. It depends on the lap, but it's basically all three braking zones, but mainly for the last bit.

And under minor, strat 11. It was strat 11.

And recharge toggler on and off, please.

So, Lando, we continue to expect the rain to ease and then in 10 minutes from now we expect the sun to come out.

Lando, just try and focus on keeping temperature in these tyres. The other cars are colder and struggling more.

Atlanta minor, purple C10 position 4. It's purple C10 position 4.

And another one, purple, minor, sorry, minor, purple, C6, position 13, purple, C6, position 13.

I'm going to put the recharge on, please, when I get this pack back up.

And Lando, update on track conditions please. Yeah, pretty damn wet still. Visibility is pretty damn poor. Can't see much. Aquaplanington 1-2. So yeah, I would say it's just probably gone through the worst of it. Aquaplanington 9 entry as well.

The saved car is in this lap. Saved car is in this lap.

Recharge on now and then turn off when you normally would.

Safer chikaras in turn 15.

Just don't recharge off then.

Safety car is in pitlane.

Think about your brake balance.

And safety car deployed. Safety car deployed. We're staying out. This is a car off track turn nine.

I'm focused on keeping temperature into the fronts. The safety car is in turn 4.

Fernando, the sun is out around the track now. We just want to be forward thinking about conditions towards when the safety car might end. Hadjar is in the wall of turn 9.

He's OK at getting out.

And there's a recovery vehicle on track. He should be off track at turn nine but he will be there.

And Lando, just a picture update behind you. So the car behind is Stroll. He made progress by being on a soft and then being one of the first cars to pit into. His into pace compared to yours was generally slower. Behind him is Hulk, then Gasly and Hamilton.

Safety car is in this lap. Safety car is in this lap, so think about brake balance.

Safety car is around us though. Safety car is in pitlane.

So far this lap, good in the low speed, work on the high speed.

That was good in turn 15, more like that.

Lando, the turn 7 exit focus is good. Keep it up.

And I know opportunity. Oscar is 6th through turn 11. Limit brake pressure there.

And a minor purple C6 at position 11, please. Purple C6 position 11.

Good step at turn 11. A double step the same size, please.

Minor, purple, C10 position 3. Purple, C10 position 3.

And Lando, drive line turn 4 looks good.

And I suggest red A3, red A3. Oscar has a 10 second penalty. That means we are, we will not follow him into the pitstop.

And, Lando, how are the tyres, please? Yeah, they're OK.

Okay, Lando, we just need to look after the front left a bit and opportunity Maggots and Becketts. Focus on the brake pressure again.

And Lando, opportunity, turn one, early lift, focus on throttle pickup. Oscar almost flat through turn two.

Yeah, circling a little bit front left.

And I would be happy for red A2, red A2. Engine braking might help as well.

Another gap behind to Stroll is 16.0. If there was another safety car, would you want a new Integra?

Yes, it's still just wet everywhere, so yes.

Good job, last lap.

And Lando, question, how far from slicks? A long way still.

The front left tread block almost gone.

DRS enabled.

Turn three this lap. Much better. Keep that up.

Gap to Hulk, who's in P3, is 26.8.

Turn 9 last time was really good.

Lando, track update please. Yeah, drying out in some places, a little bit dry. Not to which release yet.

Fernando, just to be clear to you, the risk for us is a safety car here.

Alonso has pitted onto a medium, we're watching.

Alonso struggling at the moment.

Alonso's still slower. Russell has just pitted for a hard. Lando, when we go for you, we said we'd pit a hard.

The hard tyre, Russell, went off in Maggots and Becketts. Still too early. I think it could be a medium now. It's only ten laps, sir.

We'll line up the medium.

Alonso, close to matching us in low speed, still slower in high speed.

Alonso did a 42.6 last time.

Other cars pitting as well. Some pitting softs. We still think we're still in the medium.

Lando, Alonso is now quicker. One of us will pit this lap.

Lando, Oscar will pit this lap. We will go past once.

Yellows ahead. Cars on track.

A lot of debris, a lot of debris on track.

Think it's off the racing line now.

Confirming, we are off this lap, yes, off this lap.

Yellow flags, yellow flags. Leclerc at exit. I'd like silver D4, please. Silver D4. Silver D4.

You need silver D4 before you come to a stop. Launch map on in the pitlane.

Like red A5, red A5 and green F3, green F3. We're easily ahead. Careful white line exit.

The 9 to 14 still damp, take care.

I need to know first line turn three please. Blue B5. Blue B5. Track slippery. Turn 67 still in the debris.

Dry line for turn 34.

And then the gap to Oscar is 4.8. He had an off. Just be careful out there.

Well, tell me where, don't just say that.

It was a rear-snap apex of turn 11.

Minor. White H8 position 3. White H8 position 3.

Opportunity. Work on your left. Turn one, turn nine. Maggots, packets is good.

Suggest strat 7. Strat 7.

Suggest 7th gear in turn 9. No other opportunities.

And the gap to Oscar is 6.3 and building.

Three laps to go.

Minor, purple C2, position 9, please. Purple C2, position 9.

That's it, mate. You've won the British Grand Prix. Well done.

We did it! At home. Oh my god, we did it. This one means a lot, man. It's beautiful. Well done. Recharge on and an ACS button press, please. Hulk finished third, mate.

Oh, it's fucking amazing. Thank you. Well done, everyone. Thanks, McLaren. This is a dream, ringing at home. It's beautiful. Thanks for the memory. I'll remember this more than anything. Our pleasure, mate.

Do you even mind the crying? No, no, don't cry.

Confirming you enter the pitlane.

Thank you for watching.
