Radio check.

So will that rain just decrease now? Is that going to stay like this for the next 15 minutes?

If it's not a standing start, what would I do? Would I change or not?

There's that blue spot.

Thank you for watching.

It's going to be a long race, so let's be on it. Good comps, good quills. Let's do it.

Yeah, I can't see.

I can't go straight, I can't see a thing.

Okay mate, we have starting procedure suspended. Starting procedure suspended, so what we need to do is follow the group in front.

And red flag, red flag.

Okay, so we will be coming in the pitlane. We'll be coming in the pitlane. Follow all cars in front.

OK, mates, so following all cars in front into the pitlane. Any comfortable stops, make sure we leave Carlos Sainz in front of us.

Radio check.

It's for you to consider the pit exit is going to be wet even when the track is dry, so there's going to be a bit of extra time to lose there for a spot that fits them.

Can I put the charger on now?

You want me to do a tight turn 5, right?

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

I feel very slippery at the moment. Yeah, copy that. Put a foot on the brake.

Understood. You're good.

So, tyre temps already picking up. That will help. We shouldn't need to do too much extreme warming here. How's the track so far?

Okay, just a bit of visibility in turn 4, turn 5. Copy that.

During the clock storm as before, first grade sharp decline. Lap was the same as before, no adjustments made.

As the tyre temperature starts to pick up, we will get a bit more grip.

22.5 for this rear brake temperature.

Yeah, that's just a nice brake warm-up for the vibrant pace.

P14, position 7, please. P14, position 7.

And we can go back to P1 on that switch as well.

APO, how's it looking out there?

Get better. Good luck. Yeah, understood.

OK, Pierre, so when we get to the start finish straight, can we drive through our grid slot, please? That'll help us later.

That's probably through our grid slot.

Okay, Pierre, so we'd like to go either forwards on brake bias, a few clicks, or we can go to brake shape 12, just to help bring those rear temps under control. We've had confirmation of a rolling start. A rolling start.

Let's go back on that brake bias back to 0.5 on the dash.

The only switch change before the restart will be scenario 5. Happy to do that on the way down to 60.

Reminder, no overtaking before the control line. Safety car is at the last corner now.

They're happy to start finding wet patches here on top of these tyres.

Scenario 1. Scenario 1.

I think Bearman's struggling with a battery issue.

Hold my rear flip.

Brake shape 5 to help rear slip. Brake shape 5.

Finish the front left tyre in turn 14.

I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90. Understood.

Yeah, we're getting quite close to the crossover time. How's the throttle? It slicks.

Have I understood? Keep us updated.

Let's go forwards 1% on brake bias, 1.5 on the dash.

Can I keep looking for those wet patches?

Last lap was deleted for track miss of turn four.

Hamilton, now the car behind.

I have no tyres. Understood.

Hamilton point three behind. How far away from Slicks do you think we are?

Parking brake point 2 behind.

Can they keep us updated on track conditions, please? Forward.

I can barely keep it on track with these tyres. Understood.

Safety car window open for a select tyre unless you disagree. How's the track?

Parc fermé. OK, stand by. OK, mate, so we think Alonso might be pitting. What do you think to the track?

We're ready for you if you want to come in. Understood.

Don't swerve the whole thing on exit.

Everything's locked, we've just got to watch those rear slips as best we can.

Diff exit 6. Diff exit 6.

Everyone's struggling on these tyres now. Let's stick with it.

Pause the track, please.

Can you repeat that, please, mate? We're ready. We're ready for you.

Tyre switch. Tyre switch.

Tyre switch, medium tyre. Medium tyre, careful pit exit.

Coming up out of the car pallet.

DRS enabled.

Okay, mate, we'll be close to the car. Almost everyone else has come in.

All right, we've got a straight line speed advantage here.

That'll be close. Hadjar pit exit.

Tickle press available.

OK, you're going to work up to P11.

Exit 5 if you want more medium speed rotation.

OK, mate, so 29 laps left at the end of this one.

Fastest lap time, 48.1 for Verstappen.

Sock 8 out, recharge.

Tyre energy is looking good to us. Confirm status please.

Cars in front flapping 48.5.

OK, it's still all good. I'll just keep using the time.

Well, I'm out of the club.

I've made losses 12 to 15 to the cars in front, turns 12 to 15.

I would believe both sables in front are going to try and go to the end on this tyre.

It's the Diff's famous underdrive. So we recommend Diff exit 5 with medium speed rotation. Diff exit 5.

So blade loss is still 12 to 14.

Tsunoda behind flapping 47.8.

Mode 8. Mode 8 on the multi.

So, let's focus. Exit turn 8 and 12 to 14.

Tsunoda 0.9 behind. Bearman and Alonso close behind.

0.8 with DRS. Potential is to go to the end of this tyre. No energy concerns it.

All at the moment.

Can I stay with you for now, Tsunoda? 0.7 behind you.

Gap stable 0.7. Balance comments please when you can. Copy.

The tyre wrenches are all good, let's just keep on it.

Okay, Tsunoda, gap stable 0.7. Made losses last lap 5, 6 and 7.

Twenty-one laps to go.

Gap behind 0.6. Let's keep going in that lap time.

Gap 9.5.

5 to 7. Much better last lap. Focus 12 to 14.

Gap behind 0.7.

Diff exit 11 to help turn 13 rotation if you want. Diff exit 11 if you want.

Gap behind 0.6. Tyres are now fully stabilised.

Let's keep finding that lap time.

Time to go into 5, 6 and exit at 8.

Gap behind 0.7 and stable.

Matching Hulkenberg's lap times in front. He's off in 47.9.

OK, so we think most cars are going to try to go to the end here. Sainz and Hadjar have boxed on to fresh cards there at the back.

I'm still happy with tyres on our side. Let's just keep focusing on that middle sector.

OK, so Franco and Alonso have both pitted again.

Gap behind stable. Cars behind us, Tsunoda, Bearman, then Antonelli.

I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90.

Yeah, I'm just checking the transcripts on that. Let's see if we can catch up with him. Your lap times are good. Thirteen.

OK, safety car window is open for medium tyre. Let's keep trying that lap time.

Keep going in front. Headset knocked off. That's P10.

Gap behind stable 0.8.

I still have to keep using the tyre.

Yeah, mate, good work. 10 to go.

Okay, so Hulkenberg is about four cars back, 12 seconds behind on fresh mediums. I'll let you know if he's going to become a threat.

How many seconds behind us? About 12 seconds.

So Hulkenberg 10 seconds behind now, lapping 45.9. Could be a threat in 4-5 laps.

Behind point six.

So Nico's still got three other cars to get through before he gets to us.

There's six laps to go.

One more lap, slide that arse off please. Good work.

Back to three cars back in seven seconds, Bill.

Five laps to go. Good job.

OK, mate, they're awesome. Clouds developing around the track. The radar is clear for us at the moment.

I was behind Tsunoda, then Bearman, and then a two and a half second gap to Hulkenberg.

All laps to go.

Just keep an eye on my battery so I can... ...unstuck for the last few laps.

Copy that. The plan is SOC 5 for the last two laps.

OK mate, so there could be a couple of drops in the air at turn 1. No major rain on our path at the moment.

Three laps to go. Hulkenberg on the back of the train now.

Sock five. Sock five.

Prepare to keep all for the last lap. Clear to go. You're free to use it if you want.

One single pressure overtake available per lap. We've got a Bearman coming past Tsunoda here now.

Still successful. Stop at 5.

Gap behind point six.

Signal press overtake down to turn 5. Last lap.

That's the P5. We're coming in the pit entry here, a reminder. So let's take a wide line around turn 1. Nice wide line around turn 1 and in the pit entry. Okay, well done. That's P10. Good job. Yeah. Happy for you guys. Three k.a.s, but we held it until the end. It's one point for you. We'll be in the front few strings again. All the good work and wish you the best. Good job, guys.

Nicely driven. Absolutely. I'm glad I got to see it as well. Excellent drive. I'm glad I managed to get this one.

Yep, nice to get something out of it as well. Okay, so normal switch-off procedures, please.

Got some smoke out of the brakes.

Yeah, that's okay, I'll let you off.

Guys, we'll look after that for now.
