Oscar, radio and drink. Yep.

Yep, radio check and drinks are good. Build out is clear.

Oscar, they've confirmed the formation lap will start behind the safety car.

And tyre information, Oscar. All cars on intermediate tyres. I'd suggest going back to red BID 6 for these conditions, but we just need to be pre-emptive on that under torque switch as we go.

1.5.

Oscar suggests some conservative practice. That'll be the plan for the race start. That was 1.9 the last one.

1.4.

Point six.

1.5. Is that target about OK?

Okay, are you happy with that? If you can go a couple of cents deeper, that would be good. Oscar, same as Silverstone, the safety car will pull away. You're allowed to leave a gap if you want to practice the first corner.

1.7.

1.5. Oscar, the rain has eased off all around the circuit like this. We're expected to continue at least spitting until 5 past. Then 15 minutes with no rain and then probably more rain around 20 past.

Oscar, update. Rain should stop at the race start.

Have PIRV with C9 position 3, please, Oscar. PIRV with C9 position 3.

Oscar, purple C13, 11, please. Purple C13, 11.

30 seconds just not to roll back.

Turn.

Oscar, any feedback on visibility as you're up the hill? Yeah, even before a route, it's terrible. I couldn't even see Lando then. Understood. Can't see Lando up the hill.

Feedback on the camels straight, Oscar. Still very difficult to see. I can't see anything. So I don't know how anyone else can. All clear, Oscar.

Out of turn nine, Oscar, still poor visibility.

On the grooves it's okay, but into turn 10 it's very bad. Understood. The starting procedure will be suspended.

So we're going to box this lap, Oscar.

Copy, Box. Overtaking. Stop in the fast lane.

So, Oscar, try and leave enough space around the car so that we have space to put the easy up over you.

Copy. Yeah, visibility to Blanchimont is really bad, even at these speeds.

All clear, thanks Oscar. So we're boxing this lap.

Reminder for pit limiter. Stop at the first lane.

Copy, box.

So there are people moving around the pitlane. Oscar, just take it nice and easy.

Oscar, if you haven't already, you can get out the car.

I'll tell you, I'll probably do a turn call back.

Perfect.

Henry, go ahead.

Henry, ready for callback.

Henry, ready to check on driver? Loud and clear on driver.

Bounsie, a 4-1-0-P. I can drive it.

So one of my radios does either driver or mechan driver and is just arriving. The other one, the engineer radio, doesn't seem to do anything.

Tom, everyone drive a joint weather forecast.

So, in about 10 minutes, they expect rain to be heavy, as it was in the last batch. Then a 30-40 minute delay while we wait for that. Randy from the FIA expects we will have to wait for that 30-40 minutes before we can get going.

Copy. Have you got Oscar in the garage?

Henry, radio check on OT driver channel. Yep, loud and clear now.

We'll be up one and a half. This should be the mechanic's shuttle.

Leclerc, this should be the driver channel.

Right, that is the driver channel.

This should be the mechanic's tunnel. Negative, still on driver.

It should be the mechanics' channel now. Still negative.

Phil, I'm back on the belt track. How's that?

Yes, please, up one and a half, one, one, next half.

Thank you for watching.

Oscar, once your gloves are on, radio check please. Yep, radio check and drinks are good as well. Loud and clear. We're going in 4 minutes and 20 seconds.

Four point six.

1.4.

Oscar, do you want paper? There are no changes since last time.

Oscar, we believe everybody's on into tyres.

Oscar, have a look at the switches, please. Purple C9 position 2. Purple C9 position 2.

Purple C13, position 7.

Plane speed limiter.

That's 30 seconds.

20.

Oscar, how is the visibility? Quite a lot better than before, through Eau Rouge. After Eau Rouge, it's still quite bad. Yeah, the straight's still pretty bad. Copy that, still pretty bad on the straight.

No transcript available

There's a lot of stain on the track from turn 7 to turn 8. Understood.

No transcript available

Some dry patches already from turn 9 to turn 10, but turn 10 is in the shade and still very wet, or still quite wet. Probably that dry patch from 9 to 10, turn 10 is still wet in the shade.

We expect at least one more lap behind the safety car, Oscar, after this one.

Up into the river on the exit of 13, but the exit cab of 13 is already starting to dry a little bit.

Yeah, see the river between 13 and 40.

I suggest to drive through your grid slot.

White, H14, position 11. H14, 11.

And any updates on visibility? Still using offset 20 cars at B3 now.

Yeah, the visibility is not too bad. Just after Eau Rouge, it's pretty bad. And into Blanchimont. Yeah, at the end of the straights, pretty bad visibility.

OK, any more updates useful?

Track condition has not really changed.

ACS button. ACS.

And Eau Rouge and Kemmel to create any update on conditions.

Similar, maybe a little bit better.

I think the last places to dry will be turn 5-6-7 and turn 9 and into the last chicane. Copy. 5-6-7-9 last chicane.

Purple C10, position 4. Purple C10, position 4. Chadel shifts into final corner.

Keep trying a good start if you can. It's likely to be a rolling start, but this is a good course.

It'll be a rolling start. It'll be a rolling start. Confirmed.

You can turn the launch map off.

Exit of turn N11. Starting to dry now. Copy. Suggest orange torque. Seven.

And consider back right toggle for turn 8 once you get going.

OK, so you'll need the overtake button after the restart and you can recharge your physical.

Safety car, turn 16.

Safety car 17.

Safety car, apex turn 18 now.

Gap behind 1, sir.

Bal plus two, red mid five. Bal plus two, red mid five.

Okay, tyres are at the top of the window now, so keep them cool where you can.

Keep coming forwards on bow to protect the rears. Lando, 0.8.

Mike H11, position 2. Mike H11, 2.

Pull the tyres offline where possible.

Other car is now flat in 2-3-17. What you're doing is good for tyre temperatures, but the other car is not.

Update, the previous message, Lando did lift in turn 2. He's back right turn 8. Copy. It's sprying. Still, the life again is quite difficult in turn 1.

Oscar, I know it's not ready yet, but let me know once you could be put on track behind the second car with slick.

Just red mid-pole, red mid-pole.

It feels like it might not be too far off already. Understood.

Just a straight to turn 5 is wet.

Level C10, position 3. C10, 3.

Opportunities to the other car. Two tenths in high speed. That's 2, 3 and 10. What you're doing is still good for temperatures.

So, Oscar, for a safety car, we need to predict three to four laps ahead.

I think you have to put slip now if it's a safety car. Copy.

Turn 9 will still be difficult though.

12 versus 13 is very tough at the moment, but I think it's because it's dry, not because it's wet. Understood.

Gap to Leclerc is now 10.4. Hamilton is pitting for medium tyres.

So Hamilton, Hulkenberg, Gasly all pitted for medium.

Pit exit is wet.

Last two laps, Lando was flat in turn 2-3.

Yeah, Oscar, we should box. We should box.

Silver, entry 6. Silver, entry 6, and launch.

The exit will be wet.

So turn 2-3 looks difficult for those cars, but they're quicker after that.

Let's go. Strat 5. Strat 5.

Great, other car is boxing now. They're going on to a hard tyre. He should be behind.

It's a red mid 5, red mid 5.

OK, let's go. Strat 7. Strat 7. Gap to Lando is seven seconds. Priority is to look after this medium tyre.

Suggest orange torque 10. Orange torque 10.

Opportunity turn 5. Entry speed 110.

Michel Leclerc, last lap 47.9. 49.7, apologies.

And you were purple last lap. Direction 110 slower than Lando.

Opportunity turn 1. Two tenths in braking. Use top right toggle. Turn 89 was good this lap.

Right H10, position 11. Right H10, position 11.

One was a good step. Turn five two tenths in braking.

Gap to land mode 9 seconds.

Last lap, Lando 46.9, Leclerc 47.2.

Opportunity 12.13. Focus on line as discussed this morning.

Oscar, there's 25 laps from here.

And Oscar, what you're doing looks good. It's your call really on whether we try and get to the end on this tyre or we consider a pitstop for another one. At the moment, I think try to get to the end.

Copy. I can feel a little bit of sag already. I think it will be tough to get to the end. Copy.

It's just orange torque eight quicker than Leclerc in cars behind him now.

Just green shape all, green shape all and 61 percent.

Safety car now. We'll bring you out just behind Lando. We take that. Do you prefer hard or medium? I think hard.

I mean, it's medium still going okay, so it's difficult to know at the moment. But I don't know. Okay, understood.

Turn five to nine was very good this lap.

Last lap with purple.

Turn 13, capital late lift and snap. Fastest car again last lap.

We are in both safety car windows. In both safety car windows. Turn 13 was better.

Rear thermal management where you can keep doing what you're doing, but rear slip rear thermal management.

Brilliant. Leaning more towards the medium safety car now. Yep, plus two.

ACS. ACS.

You're four tenths quicker than Leclerc now. Four tenths quicker than Leclerc. Lando, 46.2.

Fernando made a mistake. Pedal set to gap back to 9.2. Good job, Oscar. It's going well.

This medium looks to be going quite well from our side. How's the tyre?

Suggest green shape 3, green shape 3 and turn 18 and 1, top right throttle.

Yellow Diff 2, Yellow Diff 2.

Opportunity turn 5, 5 metres later braking. Make sure you keep that early lift for 6.

Hadjar is 14 seconds ahead. We'll start getting his dirtier in about five laps.

White H13, position 4. H13, 4.

You can buy better, but you need the early lift in the transition.

A few cars have pitted. Degg looks as expected. We still think the best thing is to go to the end on this tyre, 12 laps including this one.

Oh, fuck me, I'm having a laugh.

Purple C6, position 11. C6, 11.

Opportunity to the other car. 12.13 to one and a half tenths apex speed. Don't compromise the line. Line's the same between you.

I had a small bit of abrasion on the left front wheel, which is called a draining.

Green shape 2. Green shape 2.

I need to push understeer at turn 7.

That's Hadjar ahead. He's got six seconds. He's doing 48.2.

Opportunity is done.

Go ahead, Oscar. Is there any chance of rain? Dark clouds. No rain expected.

Safety car would be five racing laps. Would you still take us off?

Difficult to know. Medium still feels pretty good, but...

Yeah, one second.

How much faster were the people at Utah? One and a half seconds.

Oscar, you'd need a new tyre. It's soft or medium.

Understood. So that's Hadjar 3.1 ahead. He will get blues when you get there.

Consider green shape 1 to help front under rotations as the front back gets older.

It's just Bal minus one. Bal minus one, complete, protecting the front. The other car is starting to suffer with front lock.

Lando, last lap was 45.7. There are five to go, including this one.

That's a good lap, Oscar. Four more of those.

Door. Safety car window closed.

Weather update. Could be a few drops in turn one in the last couple of laps. Not currently expecting it, but not impossible.

Silver entry, 5. Silver entry, 5.

Okay, still no rain turn 1. Gap behind 3.1. Strat 4 available for the last two laps.

Still no rain here.

Get behind 4.3. If you're comfortable, do some Lyco into the final chicane to cool brakes before the turn. Only if you're confident to do that.

And after you cross the start finish, big lift off into turn one. Big lift into turn one to pull apart. We can go recharge on. Well done, mate. Great job. Great afternoon. Really good.

Let's go. Am I turning back into the pitlane now? Yes, turn into the pitlane exit. Turn right into the pitlane exit. Drive carefully down the pitlane as there may be pedestrians. Really good job, mate. Really good.

Nicely done. Nicely fucking done. Well, that makes me feel a bit better about yesterday. I would say that was part of my plan, but well done everyone. The car was mega once again. Yeah, what a day. Thank you very much. Very much appreciate it. Let's go. Yeah, good job. Good job. So, lot of cars still finishing, but the top ten, yourself, Lando, Leclerc, Verstappen, Russell, Albon, Hamilton, Lawson, Bortoletto, Gasly.
