Radio check. Yep, loud and clear.

Lando, tyre infill. Colapinto and Hulkenberg start soft. Ocon and Bearman start on hard. We're still waiting for the red ball in Vodafone 3.0. Everybody else is on medium. I'll let you know about the red balls.

Point seven. Verstappen's on soft.

Points, 28.

Tsunoda's offset as well.

Thirty seconds to go.

20 seconds.

Five.

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

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

Fill in the note below now, please.

Lando, minor. We have purple C13, position 11. Purple C13, position 11.

Lando, lift into turn 11. Launch feedback. You are target plus one.

Lando, we'll need purple C6 position 11 before the burnout. That's purple C6 position 11 before the burnout. We're like four and a half burnouts. That's four and a half.

Last car approaching the grid.

Lando, there's possible class 1 rain in eight minutes' time. It might not affect the track. We'll keep you updated.

Minor. Purple C7 position one. Purple C7 position one.

Hadjar, we'll have DRS behind you. Point eight.

Verstappen being told to push on these tyres.

Suggest right-hand toggle for turn 10. Right-hand toggle for turn 10.

Suggest strat 7. Strat 7.

And Lando, we still recommend right-hand toggle for turn 10.

And they're giving up a bit too much time in turn seven. Point two to Max, point three four to Oscar. As the rain comes, we need to be close to them.

So the possible rain is in five minutes from now. Double shuffle will be available.

Class a half, maybe up to class one. Might last five to ten minutes. Might not hit all of the track.

The field spread behind us is very tight. Almost had DRS there.

Reminder, the early overtake is most effective.

No, it's just Strat 10. Strat 10.

Nice job. Let's go get Oscar.

And then our biggest opportunity is late MC speed turn 9. Oscar just did a 15.0.

And Lando, we do expect the rain to arrive five minutes from now.

Did a really good job in turn 2 and 3. Keep that up.

And Lando, drops at time as possible from now. Use 8th gear into turn 1.

Fernando, after this shower passes, it should be dry, so we just need to manage this shower well.

And Lando suggests yellow gene 3, yellow gene 3 and ACS buttons.

And a football rotation turn 9, turn 10. Suggest orange E8, orange E8.

Track's slippery between 12 and 13. Rain will hit turn 40 first if it does.

Five minutes away, we have class one, so we think it might arrive.

Opportunity. Tighter change of direction. Turn 11, turn 12.

Lando, under a current safety car, we would go behind three cars.

A couple of little windows popped.

Gap back to be the leading edge of it.

Class 1-2 reported turn 14. Doing a good job to the other car. No clear opportunities.

Light drops to 12.

Showers behind this first patch of braking up.

Lando, how are the tyres? How's the pace? Yes, starting to struggle a little bit more now with the rears.

And I suggest yellow G4, yellow G4 and red A5, red A5.

And Lando, five minutes away, the rain has started to reduce, so it's this little bit we've got to get through. Then we should have a dry race from there.

Opportunity, turn 9, late entry speed.

Lando, can you get closer to the car ahead?

I can save you a touch.

Possible class 1 turn 13. This could be the worst of it.

Lando, better in turn 9. Keep it up. Next opportunity, turn 11 and entry speed.

It was class one in pitlane. It's now class half in pitlane. God, I'm hitting the ground much.

Fernando Verstappen is 13.3. Then there's Hadjar, Leclerc, Russell and then Hamilton at 19.4.

Turn 11, more about the entry speed, not the brake point.

Leclerc has pitted. The best we can do is try and get closer to Oscar.

Lando, it's a safe car, we take it.

Safety car deployed. Safety car deployed. So we'll box this lap, box this lap. This will be a hard down one. Reminder, use the yellow gloves as your marker point. You might have to queue up behind Oscar.

Launch back, launch back, launch back.

Will be clear at exit.

I have double yellows here where you are on the wall.

Rays it is. Rain in the pitlane has basically stopped. We don't think there'll be anything

Is he alright? Front check. Yep, all good.

He'll be famous on TV, but he's awkward. How did Hamilton crash? Did he go on the green and the green was slippery because of the rain? Ah, yes, it looked like exactly that. He went wide of the white line, onto the green, slippery. You should tell me earlier. Like this is a race ending bit of information, so, yeah. Yep, okay, cool.

Still double yellows around turn three.

And I know, let's go to strat 10 now, please, strat 10 now and check right-hand toggle. Right-hand toggle.

Lando, for your awareness, the other car is using red button into turn 6, so opportunity for us.

As in, we do not need to do it.

Fernando, just to go through the consistent opportunities you had in the first stint. Turn 9, it's kind of late entry speed. Get off the brake. Losing a bit of minimum there. Turn 11, kind of a similar thing. Your brake point's good. You just need to release the car into 11 a bit more. And line discipline in turn 2-3. Whenever you go wide out of 2, you're losing 3. And safety car is in this lap. Safety car is in this lap.

Suggest orange E9, orange E9. Think about brake balance.

Lando, Max behind is on a medium tyre. We think he's planning on going to the end.

Safety car is going around 12. It's just leaving 12.

Safety car is at 13 now.

Safety cars in turn 40.

0.8 ahead at the moment.

DRS is enabled.

Oscar starting to use the Aramco line in turn 3. And Lando, we would try and go to the end on this. Our decision will be if to add a stop. But the goal should be to get to the end.

Virtual safety car deployed. Virtual safety car deployed. We'll stay out.

Debris on the main straight, middle of the track. All drivers keep left on the main straight.

We think this will be quite quick at Alcalaire once the train of cars is through. Right-hand toggle.

Virtual safety car ending, virtual safety car ending.

And DRS re-enabled.

Possible small bits of debris, turn 12 and turn 13.

Oscar will be using red button into turn 5.

Lando, opportunity in the transition. Turn 8, turn 9. We're losing too much. Use your throttle more, use your brake more.

Lando, with the field spread, it's unlikely there'll be opportunities. Our best bet is just go get them. Straight out race.

Opportunity, brake late into turn 9, higher peak.

That was better in turn 9. Keep on working at it.

Main opportunity is turn 9. Be more on the limit through braking.

Just be careful with the late braking at turn 11, like that.

Lando, there might be a safety car decision at some point. So you've got Verstappen at 5, Hadjar 6, Leclerc at 8. So we lose three positions. That'll be our decision.

Opportunity, back off brake, turn 11. Prioritise turn 12 more.

Yeah, no. Yeah, no, fine. I'll just go through that melon quicker. I just can't do anything.

Let's get my struts here.

Lando, if there was a safety car, we would lose to Stappen. So our question will be, do we stay out or do we take it?

Happy to do the opposite to Oscar as long as we're happy to try and go to the end, if that'll work.

That's for a soft, no? No, we've got another hard. Sorry.

Oscar would likely take it to go behind you.

And our main opportunity last few laps will be turn 1 braking.

Lando, in the first stint, the soft had only slightly worse deck than the medium. May be helped by the light bits of rain. Do you want to update us on how many laps on the soft you've had before? Currently eight to ten.

Turn one brake at last. That was good. Keep that up.

And Lando, 20 laps to go. We think it'll be eight race laps on a solid.

Yeah, confirm. I think that's fine.

Safety car deployed, safety car deployed. We've got a box, we've got a box.

Launch map on in the pitlane.

Launch back, launch back, launch back.

Verstappen has also pitted, so he shouldn't have lost out anything.

There's a big crash at turn three. Big crash at turn three. A loss of debris on the exit of three, I assume to the right, but I don't really know. Just be careful around three.

There's a recovery vehicle on track.

And Leclerc's crash was contact with another car rather than Eddie's black Hamilton.

I'll be Strat 10, please Strat 10. So the cars behind have fitted used softs. So that's Verstappen, then Hadjar, then Russell.

We're wondering if overtake use out of turn three is our best opportunity to try and catch DRS.

Still double yellows around turn three.

Just followed directly by the safety car.

Lando, they're probably just waiting for the train to form up now. We think the car has been cleared.

And then for the audience of doubt, no rain expected.

Lapped cars have been told they may overtake. So that'll be Sainz and Lawson who will come through.

Keep working on the tyres as you are, just be careful as those cars are coming through.

Lawson is three cars behind you.

And Sainz is behind Lawson.

And think about brake balance. Safety car is in this lap. Safety car is in this lap.

There will be 15 laps.

And recharge button. The other car has been told to use its overtake button.

Safety car just leaving turn 12.

Safety car at turn 13.

Let's use overtake. DRS has been enabled.

To just Strat 7. Strat 7.

Lander in at five minutes. There's possible very light class half drops.

I got smoke coming from the cockpit, I think. I smell something funny.

Yeah, I think, I don't know if I'm on fire or not. It doesn't smell good. Smoke in the cockpit. OK, mate, we'll check it.

Oil leak. I'm out. Failure. OK. Can you bring it back, mate? No, I'm out, I'm out. No, no, it's gone. It's gone. OK. Fuck, sorry, mate.

Right, you were fast today. You were really fast. It doesn't matter, mate. I know. You were fast. I know, I know.

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