Radio check.
13:53:54
And Marcus, for now, I'd be looking to keep the flat the same, no matter the tyre compound or tyre wet.
13:55:10
Five minutes to formation lap.
13:56:02
So the formation lap will be started behind the safety car here.
13:57:10
Three minutes to formation lap.
13:57:59
So, obviously, everyone is on into tyres.
13:58:10
Two minutes to formation lap.
13:58:51
So we've still got that rain about 25 minutes out. And 75 seconds. Fire up. Gear limiter on.
13:59:10
One minute.
13:59:20
Make sure you cock the limiter on.
13:59:25
Forty-five seconds.
13:59:34
You say it's 20 minutes out? 25 minutes out.
13:59:45
Right point to find. 25 seconds.
13:59:55
Fifteen seconds.
14:00:05
Five.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.
14:00:38
Butch, 1% shallow.
14:00:53
I don't think this will be long.
14:00:57
Be ready to box now.
14:01:06
So it will be a standing start.
14:01:30
So, if you feel it is dry enough, George, this is your call.
14:01:38
Just be ready. OK, sir.
14:01:45
I don't think it is.
14:01:51
Yeah, we're ready, so you just let me know. What tyre would you go?
14:01:58
We would go hard at the tyre.
14:02:05
And confirm when the rain is coming.
14:02:10
Twenty to twenty-five minutes.
14:02:29
Are you ready? Copy that.
14:02:38
It's very wet here.
14:02:49
Let's go for it. Box, box. Copy. Box, box. Box, box.
14:02:56
FLU14, position 1.
14:03:20
Eyes on the lights at the end of the pitlane.
14:03:45
Strat 5, last car approaching back of the grid.
14:05:59
VSC, VSC. Keep the delta positive.
14:06:05
And we'll keep the tyres where they are.
14:06:11
So this is Lawson between turns 5 and 6. He stopped on the right-hand side of the circuit.
14:06:22
Flute 12, position 14.
14:06:33
And green 12, position 5. Yes, switch it and let it emerge. Understood, understood.
14:06:46
Blue 12. So it's blue 12, position 14. Double yellow where you are.
14:07:40
What I need to do is stay tight to that delta end of the lap.
14:07:49
Very cool. We'll reign in 15 minutes from here.
14:08:28
Kimi leaving pitlane now. And it's blue 12, position 14, please.
14:08:58
Still a long way to go here, George.
14:10:06
And I need green 3, position 2.
14:10:29
So, VSC ending.
14:12:34
It may be just, it might just be the spray.
14:12:52
I'm much quicker here. Got a yellow flag turn 9, Bortoleto.
14:13:00
Sorry, I'm in bad positions.
14:13:24
Yellow flag. Turn 9. Bortoleto right-hand side.
14:13:50
VSC, VSC, so delta positive.
14:13:55
Strat 1. Just keep those tyres as hot as you can, so where they are, please.
14:14:05
Hopefully this won't be a very long BSC. He is stuck on a...
14:14:15
Very dark in the distance.
14:14:36
So I'm still expecting that run in 10 minutes.
14:15:36
So it's double yellow, turn nine.
14:16:17
Yeah, delta positive.
14:18:41
DRS enabled. Five minutes now till this rain.
14:19:21
Yep, it's raining. Brilliant.
14:19:53
You are faster than all the cars ahead of you at the moment, George.
14:20:22
Another two minutes until the rain starts at the light. Pre-select FLU14.
14:21:07
Just coming down now. Yeah, we've got copes going on in grandstands around us as well.
14:21:20
How was the track?
14:22:45
Brake more now. Tyres are just OK. It's getting heavier. It's going to be difficult here. Copy. Copy.
14:23:09
You've got the radar visibility. I just wait, he's going to check it. AFA, AFA, just leave it with me, mate.
14:23:57
Here we go. Heavy, heavy rain now.
14:24:02
Honestly, Whitney. Five.
14:24:34
This is ten minutes in duration. There's rain.
14:24:54
So, those on old Inters are really struggling here. Max has been off at turn 14 and continued.
14:25:22
So Lewis is in the pitlane and we close with him on exit.
14:26:52
Keep an eye on that front left.
14:27:09
The rain will be increasing in intensity for three minutes.
14:28:27
Got another two minutes of this, George. Another two minutes. You're doing really good. Really, really good job.
14:29:26
Safety car, safety car, so delta, positive, distracted one.
14:29:56
Let's try and keep these tyres where they are. I know it's going to be difficult in these conditions.
14:30:05
That was tough, man.
14:30:25
Visibility is so bad, by the way, I can't even see Lewis in front. Yeah, he was completely in similar.
14:30:38
So a safety car has now left the pitlane, so currently turn three for the safety car.
14:30:47
Just give me a poster for gap ahead to Lewis. 1.5 currently. Yep, roger.
14:31:11
So rain has almost stopped in the pitlane here now.
14:31:46
Just lots of standing water and spray now.
14:32:26
Is Ocon on new tyres or used?
14:32:34
So he stayed on his tyre from the start, unused.
14:32:42
One second. If you can, we'll have green 12 position 5.
14:32:50
Position 5. Aper. Green 12, position 5. Thank you. And Lewis ahead, he was just saying the car was massively unstable. Very difficult to drive.
14:35:55
I can't really tell if it's spray or rain, but it's very cloudy and dark here.
14:39:01
Piastri controlling the pace, so the car's slowing down now. The head of the car's slowing down.
14:41:07
Just give me space for that gap ahead. I can't see arse in the tree.
14:41:22
So Hadjar off turn nine. Gap ahead of one second. So safety car, safety car.
14:41:31
Staying out, staying out. Strat 1. Delta positive.
14:42:10
50 car between turns 4 and 5.
14:42:15
Gap ahead one second, now 0.8.
14:42:38
1.3 and our cars ahead slowing down.
14:42:55
So it's double yellow, turn nine, Hadjar into the barriers. He's out of the car.
14:44:04
We're in a dead brake. Hour 13.
14:44:11
That'll be concertina out of turn 15 while slowing down.
14:44:38
Is it raining? Again, I can't tell with this rain. No, it's just a surprise. There's no rain here.
14:45:52
So, recovery vehicle on track. Turn nine.
14:49:13
Safety car in this lap, so green at 12, position 5. Select strap 5 and you've got cars ahead slowing down. Safety car is at turn 15.
14:52:41
And think about coming down to high speed. That will help that front left.
14:54:53
Okay, so Gasly ahead now 1.4.
14:57:55
Looking for water left-hand side where you can here. Gap 0.8.
14:58:58
You just need to manage on the tools as you've been doing.
15:00:05
So, wind speed has dropped more of a headwind into turn 10 now.
15:00:18
Correction, tailwind into turn 10.
15:00:34
So it doesn't look like that front left has opened up, so just keep managing it as you're doing it.
15:03:05
Air Jordan recommend coming down, dip high speed. Nearly 50.
15:04:02
OK, let's follow Lewis through here.
15:05:19
Blue 8, position 1, if that will help.
15:07:20
Let's just have a think about if he's going to try out the slacks or if he's going to form inches again.
15:07:57
So no more rain forecast.
15:11:01
Mid 1 available.
15:14:27
Feedback on the track, George.
15:15:06
Have a good go.
15:15:12
Let's repeat the final power. Happy and red soon.
15:15:18
Get ready. Echo.
15:15:37
It's going to be like the start of the race if we go now. Yeah, we don't think it's there yet. We don't think it's there yet.
15:16:49
End of brake. We want to be... We're in a P7.
15:16:55
Brave, but not suicidal. We're still looking.
15:17:50
So Alonso in the pitlane.
15:18:48
I think we're good for it.
15:19:03
Yeah, there we go.
15:19:33
And it'll be green 12, position 1 if you can.
15:19:47
Reset your switches. Slippery at exit.
15:21:12
Tsunoda on exit.
15:25:18
So, Carl, the head all exiting on slip tyres now.
15:28:36
How are the tyres here, George? Vibration.
15:29:01
Understood, so eight laps remaining here. And debris ahead.
15:31:46
I recommend we come down, dip high speed.
15:33:19
That's six laps remaining.
15:33:43
Go to Parc fermé, that's P5.
15:34:00
I can't see it in the data, but I wouldn't be surprised.
15:35:12
So wind strength is picking up. That's headwind turn 6.
15:37:53
Three laps remaining.
15:39:24
Strat 5. Two laps remaining.
15:40:55
So, one more lap and we can have early overtake exit 40.
15:42:27
So green, all one, position 12, strap 14, picking up rubber where you can. That's P10 today.
