16:53:32
For the latest weather update...
16:53:35
The race starts and we expect the first bout of rain to come.
16:53:38
About 40 minutes into the race.
16:53:40
It'll be a short shower.
16:53:41
A shower and we might have more rain later on.
16:53:43
I have four reins. Later on, you're crazy.
16:53:44
Later on in the race.

Gap. 2.8. 2.0.
16:53:50
Yeah, Eddie, in for the intensity.
16:53:53
Off the first straight.
16:53:58
Yes, we believe it to be about two mil per.
16:54:01
...per two millimetres, so it should be in terms.
16:54:05
Strap in.
16:54:20
Those are going to be a change.
16:54:22
Tip, wind is still very low.
16:54:24
Very lucky. It was rotating.
16:54:27
We're in 2-11 from the wall.
16:54:28
But it's less than 5 kph, so quite a bit.
16:54:30
APH. So, quite light.
16:55:09
Five minutes to go now. Five minutes to go.
16:55:13
Once the engine is fired up, we would like to go pit.
16:55:15
Go pitlane. Speed limiter on.
16:55:16
Gear lever on. And then we'll do a first gear.
16:55:18
We'll do a first gear start.
16:55:19
Start. Prepare leaving pitlane speed limiter on until we cross the...
16:55:21
Until we cross the start line.
16:55:22
Start line. After that we'll go to mode formation.
16:55:24
We'll go to mode formation.
16:55:27
Rear tyres, we want to take the rear tyre temps up.
16:55:30
Come out of turn 17.
16:55:32
3-4-0. Approach at the end.
16:55:33
Burnouts approaching the grid.
16:55:34
Red. And then we can pull up on the grid.
16:55:36
Up on the grid, we'll go to K2.
16:55:38
A-2 for the start.
16:55:39
And then, at the race start, we can...
16:55:40
The race starts within press and hold.
16:55:43
Go back.
16:55:45
Go back to mode race.
16:55:47
Sometime before turn 8.
16:55:49
Give me a reminder out of the three.
16:56:02
No transcript available
16:56:03
Tyres, all cars.
16:56:04
No cars on medium.
16:56:16
Start line info panel.
16:56:22
Just under four minutes.
16:56:27
Valtteri, we did lose gear.
16:56:28
We did make a gear sink.
16:56:29
Gear's synced, we're all on the grid, so we won't...
16:56:30
We're on the grid, so we will need to try and learn the gears on this formation lap.
16:56:34
I'll try and give you feedback if I'm missing any gears by the time we get to the back straight.
16:56:38
Copy. Copy.
16:58:10
And if we can get fail...
16:58:12
Bravo 0-2 on.
16:58:14
Fail Bravo 0-2.
16:58:43
5-0-3. Quick update on the weather. We are tracking a small shower now. I should arrive from lap 6 to lap 8. There will only be two laps of light rain.
16:58:52
Final reminder, once the engine's fired up, pitlane speed limiter on.
16:58:56
A-2.
16:58:57
A2. We'll start.
16:58:58
Stay in touch, buddy. Could be the next up race.
16:59:00
Next up, race.
16:59:27
Pit limiter on.
16:59:40
30 seconds.
17:02:24
Okay, Valtteri, all gears alert. All gears have been alert.
17:02:48
We can keep working with the rear tyres where we can.
17:03:01
If possible, we'd still like a little bit more...
17:03:02
We'd still like a little bit of lift and coast to turn 17.
17:03:08
Three burnouts approaching the grid.
17:03:20
OK, start feedback.
17:03:23
Start was about...
17:03:24
Start was about 4% shallow, so you could go a bit deeper where you...
17:03:27
Deeper where you were previously.
17:03:58
Last car on the grid.
17:04:55
Reminder, mode race.
17:05:43
Overtake is enabled.
17:05:44
Is enabled. Gap in car ahead at 0.5.
17:07:18
Okay, so Alonso, the car ahead at gap 1.0, Hulkenberg.
17:07:21
Hulkenberg stop for mediums. He's...
17:07:23
He's 28 seconds back.
17:08:17
OK, on Sergio's last lap, I dent it.
17:08:19
That was the last lap. Identical to yours.
17:09:02
Directors of Lyco, turn 17.
17:09:53
OK, Valtteren, we've got the left-hand side modifier available for turn 17.
17:10:29
Okay, and we could focus on the corner exit to turn one...
17:10:32
Turn 1. Head to Alonso.
17:10:33
Mid-corner. Turn.
17:10:35
Under five compared to Sergio.
17:11:59
Yellow where you are.
17:12:13
Safety car window is...
17:12:26
Yellow or your safety car box.
17:12:38
Let's stick to your delta.
17:12:54
Let's try and cool the end for a car.
17:12:55
For a car where we can, so bold.
17:12:57
Can-soap-mould safety car.
17:12:59
Do you want to stick to our delta?
17:13:17
Weather update, we think the rain isn't going to come until lap 18.
17:13:51
Okay, so we've got a double yellow in 17.
17:14:23
So we're going to box opposite Alonso.
17:14:42
Box opposite Alonso.
17:15:13
Clear on exit.
17:15:14
Clear on exit.
17:16:23
I guess we'll go recovery vehicle on track and see.
17:16:26
17, double yellow at 17.
17:17:46
All right, weather update, rain.
17:17:47
Weather update. Rain expected.
17:17:48
Green expected in 11 laps.
17:17:51
Most cars stay down.
17:17:52
Most cars stayed out.
17:19:27
Good job with the tyres. Temperature is still looking okay.
17:20:19
So we still have double yellows.
17:20:21
Throttle 12 onwards.
17:20:30
I believe the safety car is going around again.
17:20:41
But when the safety car does come in, we'll be going to mode.
17:20:43
Going to mode race.
17:21:50
OK, so race update. We're currently P8.
17:21:53
18 at the minute.
17:21:53
At the minute, Lawson, Gasly.
17:21:54
Lawson, Gasly and Hadjar are all out.
17:21:57
As well as Hulkenberg.
17:22:07
Verstappen on hard tyres.
17:22:08
Tyres, everybody else on medium.
17:22:14
Yeah, I copy.
17:22:16
I'm sorry.
17:22:18
A-firm.
17:22:28
Below 12 through 16.
17:22:36
OK, that's now single yellow.
17:22:50
So, double yellow, 14 through 16.
17:22:51
Fourteen through sixteen.
17:23:28
Alright, so tyre temps looking good.
17:23:30
Brake temps looking good.
17:23:36
Safety car staying out this lap, but we don't think this will be much longer.
17:24:19
Okay, safety car will be coming in.
17:24:21
So we end this lap.
17:24:28
Back straight. Anticipation safety car coming in. We can go to mode race.
17:24:33
Use boost on the restart.
17:24:39
Who's leading the pack here?
17:24:43
Leclerc leading the pack.
17:24:50
Leclerc approaching turn 11 now.
17:25:30
Okay, so Leclerc has the pack.
17:25:42
So get ready for the restart.
17:25:43
Restart. Reminder, we need...
17:25:44
A reminder, we need to use boost.
17:25:49
Safety card in.
17:26:56
Overtake enabled.
17:28:33
OK, Valtteri, we've got entry 5 available. Entry 5 and track surface slippery.
17:28:38
Slippery 13 and 14.
17:30:10
Time to gain mid-corner turn 20.
17:30:11
Left corner, turn 12 and turn.
17:30:12
Turn 12 and turn 17.
17:30:14
Checo, last lap was the same as yours. Alonso, last lap 36.
17:30:17
Alonso, last lap, 36.3.
17:31:47
Head 0.7.
17:32:42
You have it where you are.
17:33:21
All right. Nice work, buddy.
17:33:25
50 metres of lift and coast.
17:33:27
Do that in 11 or 17.
17:33:30
You've got Sergio the car ahead at one point.
17:33:32
I have 1.4 seconds. Alonso is 1.2 behind.
17:33:34
Alonso is 1.2 behind.
17:34:23
I think they're prepared to check the time to gain.
17:34:27
Turn 5. Suggest short-shifting to 6 on exit.
17:35:02
Next lap, turn 5-6, look better.
17:35:04
Turn 12, we would suggest holding third gear.
17:35:06
Just holding third gear.
17:35:38
So we are still expecting a small shower in...
17:35:41
2-3 laps. We think it will be short, so it will be short.
17:35:42
It will be short, so it will be a case of survival.
17:38:12
Okay, mate, you're doing a good job.
17:38:13
You're doing a good job defending.
17:38:15
If we can't...
17:38:16
If we can try and watch the traction to exit of turn eight.
17:38:21
You're doing a good job. Keep it up.
17:38:53
Let's just try second gear.
17:39:16
Turn 5 mid-corner.
17:40:10
My tyres are starting to go.
17:40:16
We've got Sergio ahead.
17:40:32
That was Alonso in overtake.
17:40:35
Just try and manage the best you can.
17:41:07
Torque 12 available. Torque 12.
17:41:08
Available torque 12.
17:41:29
It's coming, but it's moving.
17:41:40
And we are switching blue.
17:41:44
And how's the balance?
17:41:58
Chance is good. Stable, but...
17:42:01
Big overheating on both axles, front and rear.
17:42:05
OK, copy that.
17:42:17
Okay, Archie, we're going to box this one.
17:42:18
We're going to box this lap.
17:42:20
Copy course.
17:42:24
Box, box.
17:42:53
Strat.
17:42:53
Straight out.
17:42:55
Stroll stopped behind you.
17:42:56
Behind you, he is on used soft.
17:44:06
Five laps to go after this one.
17:45:39
So for info, Sergio is still running in the...
17:45:41
In the mid to low 36s.
17:45:43
On his used mediums.
17:46:02
And we have mid four of
17:46:02
And we have BID 4 available, BID 4.
17:46:54
Into 12th low level.
17:48:12
So, rain reported from...
17:48:15
From 12 to 16.
17:48:17
We think this could last for 10 minutes.
17:48:54
Exit of turn 1.
17:48:57
Upshift a bit earlier for traction.
17:50:29
OK, loudspeaker for info. Cars ahead of us are stopping at 4.
17:50:32
Stopping for hard tyres so that nobody...
17:50:34
Nobody changing everyone's...
17:50:35
Change in. Everyone still on DRS.
17:51:08
Your balance wheel lap time is looking good compared to Sergio.
17:52:04
Gap altitude conferred to Stroll ahead.
17:52:06
Distraction from turn 1.
17:52:08
Mid-corner, turn 5. How's the balance?
17:52:18
Alonso's still in the window, struggling with me.
17:52:21
Overheating, so I'm trying to manage that.
17:52:30
Copy. Tyres should stabilise on box left.
17:52:31
Good stabiliser. That's a lap or so.
17:55:15
OK, Valtteri, thank you.
17:55:16
We think second gear, turn one.
17:55:17
Second gear, turn one.
17:55:18
Turn once, fifth gear, turn.
17:55:20
Gear, er, three.
17:56:57
For speeding in the pitlane, so it is.
17:56:57
In the pitlane, so we need to box this.
17:56:58
So we need to box this lap for a dry.
17:56:59
Box this lap for a drive-through.
17:57:09
Watch the lines on entry.
17:57:23
Yeah, so when I came in last time, I pressed the pit limiter.
17:57:25
That's how I pressed the pitlane button.
17:57:27
With this part, I'm going to go on pursuit.
17:57:30
OK, copy that, mate. We will investigate. So you're driving straight through.
17:57:32
OK, so you're driving straight through the pitlane. We'll go straight out.
17:57:38
So we've got Verstappen in the lead.
17:57:40
In turn one now.
17:57:49
This is Leclerc. Leclerc, six seconds.
17:57:56
He's doing 32.9.
17:59:14
OK, so we've got 25 laps remaining.
17:59:48
Okay, Valtteri, so look...
17:59:49
So, Leclerc...
17:59:50
Leclerc is 1.3 behind.
17:59:54
There's three cars with him.
17:59:56
Two cars with him. Russell's 1.9.
17:59:58
Piastri behind Leclerc and Piastri immediately behind Russell.
18:00:02
A blue flag for Leclerc.
18:00:25
Covered. Blue flag, Russell.
18:00:26
Blue flag for Russell.
18:00:27
Russell. Piastri is immediately behind Russell.
18:00:30
And then there's a gap of five...
18:00:33
Hamilton behind Piastri.
18:00:54
Valtteri, no more rain expected.
18:02:04
Hamilton.
18:02:07
Gap is at 1.5.
18:02:11
Colapinto's the next car 11 seconds back.
18:02:26
Blue flag for Hamilton.
18:04:46
I need some time to gain exit of turn 15.
18:04:49
So that's the exit of the chicane.
18:05:21
Race update. Most cars have stopped for the hard tyre.
18:05:25
25-lap-old mediums. Stroll on 14-lap-old softs.
18:06:27
Blue flag for Colapinto behind him.
18:07:01
Laps to go after this one.
18:07:03
Any management to get to the end on this tyre?
18:07:06
Happy for you to push on.
18:07:07
Push on. Just manage the overheating as you do it.
18:08:01
OK, Valtteri, how's the balance and how are the tyres?
18:08:16
Yeah, bouncing.
18:08:17
High demeaning speed is spread at the nose.
18:08:20
That's not pretty bad.
18:08:22
That's not pretty bad.
18:08:23
I feel like I'm on a deck.
18:08:25
Well, I don't know what I'm eating.
18:08:39
Exit four available. Exit four. Should try and help the high speed.
18:10:00
I'm anxious for this, as people are.
18:10:00
That's people up close and personal.
18:10:12
OK, mate. Sorry about that.
18:10:16
We're behind. We have a blue flag for Hamilton.
18:10:18
5.8.
18:10:19
5.2 seconds behind Sainz is Albon.
18:10:22
Fighting with Bearman.
18:12:18
So we've got a blue flag for Albon.
18:12:19
Make a full albert behind.
18:12:22
Albon is Bearman.
18:12:44
The next car is Ocon. He's 8 seconds ahead.
18:12:45
He's eight seconds behind.
18:13:00
4-5 on a 8.
18:13:01
Lap. I lap all the hard.
18:15:39
Fifteen laps remaining. Gap set.
18:15:40
Laps remaining. Gap to Ocon behind.
18:16:20
Got you, so look out for the...
18:16:24
Bortoleto behind. We need to let them go immediately.
18:16:30
Okay, we've got a 14.
18:16:31
You've got a 14 second gap now.
18:16:33
Gap now. Team Lidblad.
18:18:04
Antonelli, the car behind, now 10 second gap to him. He's doing 32.2.
18:18:53
It's tough out there, tyre loss.
18:18:54
It's tough out there. Time losses remain in the same spots.
18:18:56
Same spots, a quarter of five, six.
18:20:08
Gap to Antonelli is 3.0.
18:20:10
That is 3.5 seconds.
18:20:12
Antonelli is battling for the lead.
18:20:15
With Norris, Norris is 2.2 behind him.
18:21:08
OK, Valtteri, we've got a blue flag for Antonelli.
18:21:10
Tsuneli, so we need to let him go.
18:21:11
Go immediately.
18:21:12
No transcript available
18:21:14
And Antonelli is Norris.
18:21:16
Behind Norris is a six-second gap of two minutes.
18:21:18
Second gap to lid bud.
18:22:15
Okay, right. In turn...
18:22:17
Just trying to use a bit more inside kerb on the right-hand side.
18:23:26
Blue flag for Lindblad.
18:23:28
Don't need to let him go.
18:23:29
Let him go. Turn 70.
18:23:47
OK, we've got exit 5 available. Exit 5 should help.
18:23:50
Exit 5 should help with...
18:23:51
Help with turn seven.
18:25:31
Talking about you, we've got eight laps.
18:25:32
Roger, we've got eight laps to go, eight laps remaining.
18:26:42
Car behind is Leclerc.
18:26:45
That is 1.7.
18:26:46
He's racing with Piastri.
18:26:47

18:26:51
Point nine behind Piastri is Verstappen.
18:27:04
OK, we've got a blue flash for Leclerc.
18:27:07
Letting go as soon as possible.
18:27:28
Blue flag 14.
18:27:28
Blue flag for Piastri.
18:27:51
Verstappen is 1.6.
18:27:52
1.3.
18:28:04
That car behind is now Russell. Russell is...
18:28:06
Now Russell. Russell is 3.0 behind.
18:28:43
Blue flag for Russell.
18:28:50
So we'll need to let Russell go and then the next car is Hamilton, seven seconds back.
18:31:43
Okay, so we got two...
18:31:44
So we've got two seconds to Hamilton behind.
18:32:09
But you're not sure we've got voting.
18:32:10
Mode X available, everyone. Mode X.
18:32:17
A blue flag for Hamilton.
18:32:25
After Hamilton is a 12-second gap to Colapinto.
18:33:42
PU3, position 5.
18:33:44
23, position five.
18:34:02
There's three laps remaining.
18:36:39
The gap is 1.7.
18:36:42
Go after this one and we have mode 10.
18:36:43
Mode TS available for deployment.
18:36:45
Available for the final lap.
18:36:53
Blue flag for Colapinto.
18:36:56
We need to let him go and then we can go to mode 2.
18:36:59
Go to mode TS.
18:38:42
OK, Valtteri, that is the chequered flag.
18:38:45
Go to mode slow.
18:38:47
Mode slow.
18:38:50
E18 for us, Sergio.
18:38:50
For us. Sergio, if you're still with us.
18:38:52
Understood. B-16.
18:38:54
Don't brace out there, mate.
18:39:00
Yeah, tough one. And through the blue flags.
18:39:02
I've obviously lost a lot right now.
18:39:07
Have a look after, but I'll still do the middle brakes.
18:39:09
Leclerc's got a bit higher speed on him.
18:39:11
Slipping the tyres in my track.
