Radio check. Copy. Copy. Yeah, copy.
And radio check from the pit wall.
Copy that.
So, we're just missing the push toggle. There is rain in around 10 laps from now, so the target is clear. We need to get to that rain.
Yeah, copy. Okay, I mean, I can start with it. I'll put it on now, but...
I'm not sure if we need it now, but up to you.
I'll put it on, just remind me if we race that, just so I can try and get as much temperature as I can.
Yeah, well done. That is the target for the formation laps. Lap or laps.
One minute. Limiter on. And we can leave the box in second gear, trying, practicing.
Copy that.
Oh my god, mate. I literally can't see anything.
Copy.
Yeah, like, absolutely zero.
Copy. Understood. Let's try to keep it on track. Watch the white lines.
Okay, the start procedure is suspended. Red flag. Red flag.
Okay, copy. I guess we put on another set, because I can't keep any temp now.
Helium, we are boxing through the pit lane, and we come in the pit lane, we leave one car length to the car ahead when we stop.
Copy.
Helium, when we stop the car, we stay in P1, we do not go to P0.
Copy that.
Let's leave one car length to the car ahead.
How long do you think it will be, and how long is that next cell away now? Because I think for now I might just stay in, depending on how long.
The next rain is 15 minutes away, and this could be, I don't know how long this could be, but let's stay in for now.
It's at least 10 minutes, as usual. We haven't got the 10 minutes warning yet.
I'm going to jump out, it's kind of warm in here. Radio check.
Copy.
Copy, how many minutes?
Copy.
Copy that.
Helium, radio check from the P2.
Copy that.
And let's go to mode 11 for the restart.
Just over one minute.
10 seconds.
The taxi is open.
Let's work on these tyres.
On the back straight, let's try to sink 8 gear again.
Copy.
And feedback on condition in 13. We hear there is a river around there.
Yeah, still a lot of standing water. I think when we're close to cars the spray is very bad still.
Copy.
And let's go to mode 12.
And let's pass on the right hand side on the grid. Right hand side on the grid.
Main straight is very wet.
Understood.
Spray is still very bad.
Understood.
You're doing a good job on these tyres, let's keep doing this.
Feasibility is bad, let's drop back a bit more from the car in front.
We can use 20 car lengths.
Still a bit on the low side with tyres, everything.
More we can get, we take it.
Just remember to drive through your grid spot.
On the right, in the main straight.
Be careful, right hand side is still a lot wetter than the left.
The track is getting better lap after lap.
Do you confirm?
Yeah, it's definitely getting better.
The bits with standing water are still quite a lot of spray.
Understood.
We're building temperature behind the safety car.
It's telling us the track is getting there.
Yeah, a couple of places it's like small drives after turn 9.
But it's really random because some parts are still very wet.
Copy.
We have some drivers asking for one or two more laps in the safety car.
For your info.
I think I agree.
Copy.
So the rear is getting closer.
Let's try to increase the work on the front.
We can use the brakes.
Reminder, drive through your grid spot, right hand side.
Copy.
It will be a rolling start.
Copy.
Let's go, charge on, mode 3.
Helium, let's go, charge on, mode 12.
We can take a couple of burnouts.
Safety car is still there in turn 12.
Let's go, mode 3, charge on.
Safety car is now in turn 17.
It will be racing from the line.
Safety car still on track.
Let's go, charge off.
Close to the car ahead.
Safety car in.
Let's look for some standing water on the straight.
Mode 6.
For turn 8, 9, 10.
If you need rear support, you can push throttle.
Copy.
Strut, 10.
And if you need rotational low speed, EB10.
You can take mid 5.
Feedback on track, and we are racing at the moment.
We are racing him.
Lean, but we are racing him.
Feedback when you can.
It's getting drier, my brakes are starting to struggle.
Let's find some standing water to cool the rear down.
Engine 7, position 4.
These tires are getting shredded now.
Copy, Helium, understood.
Let's push 10 more if we can.
And question, if there was a safety car, would you be OK to survive on slicks?
I don't think so, no.
Copy.
We can take N3, 10 for stability.
Keep finding standing water for the rear tires.
It's working.
Strut, 12.
Some cars are boxing for medium probably.
Let me know.
OK, good job.
Box, box, box for medium.
Copy.
Copy, box.
Tire rotary in the pit lane.
Too dry.
Keep it easy on the lines.
Hamilton behind is on a medium with one more lap, so he's already warm.
Fighting.
Isaac, I'll pit exit.
Good job.
You overtook Tsunot as well.
Mode 8.
We have Hülkenberg in our DRS now.
We can use push toggle for turn 1 next lap.
Let's use some anti-deploy to build up battery where you think is...
Strut, 10.
Mode, 10.
Quick overtake available to defend.
And anti-deploy.
Strut, 9.
We can consider shape 4 for under-rotation and under-braking.
Quick overtake available.
Multi, B10.
Position, 5.
The guys behind us will try to go to the end on the medium probably.
Strut, 8.
Same.
Mode, 8.
You're doing an awesome job with Hülkenberg.
Happy to try shape 4, offset minus 1 together.
I need you to look at Hülkenberg turn 1 and tell me what he's doing.
We're checking.
He's braking 5 meters later than us.
Gaining only on braking.
Mode, 6.
Quick overtake.
I don't need it right now.
And good job.
We are free to push a bit more in turn 10.
You want me to push more in turn 10?
Yes, one step more.
Shape back off balance.
Do you need help with anything?
I'm going to start to lose my front a little bit on high speed.
So I just want to give you a bit of help.
Multi, B7.
Position, 7.
High speed tip.
I did 8, so let me know.
I changed track, so let me change it back.
It's multi, B8.
Position, 4.
No stress.
Multi, B8.
Position, 4.
Copy.
Mode, 5.
Portoletto is now the car behind us.
Turn 13, understeer.
Turn 13, understeer, copy.
Turn 13, understeer.
Copy, we're letting it look.
It's just front wheel.
Mid, 5.
If this is not enough, we have one more change.
Let's see how this is.
One more.
Mid, 4.
Multi, B9.
Position, 7.
We can try shape 3 as well.
Doing a good job.
Let's keep him out of the arrest.
One loss compared to him.
Turn 9, minimum speed.
Okay.
After this lap, 20 laps to go.
Good lap.
You were faster than him.
Tell me if this tire is too much.
Check this lap.
Copy, we're checking.
We are happy with turn 13.
Last lap.
Check turn 10, turn 10.
Copy.
Let's try to back off turn 10 one step to see if it helps.
We are checking if that is better for turn 13.
Keep you posted.
I think it is.
We think he's eyes all up time, but you're using less the tire.
So let's keep doing what you did this lap.
One step faster than in that lap.
If you need rotation turn 12, you can use the pull toggle.
You're doing a great job.
Let's keep doing this.
14 laps to go.
Everything is pretty stable.
Let's keep doing what we're doing.
Mode 6.
We can think about EB9 if you need to.
Keep us updated on the tire deck.
A little bit of velocity.
11 laps to go.
It will be 8 laps to go.
Everything is pretty stable.
Let's bring this on.
Engine 7, position 2.
Say again?
Engine 7, position 2.
5 laps to go.
3 laps to go.
If you need help with anything balance wise, let me know.
OK, copy.
EZ in entry, turn 1.
To avoid front lock-up.
Copy that.
Mode 5, last lap.
Where are we?
We're at V8.
That's the checkered.
Charge on.
We're coming in after turn 1.
Box from the pit.
Exit.
Copy that.
All right, man.
V8.
Great drive.
Really stand out.
Didn't put any foot wrong.
And the boys are all here on the line for you.
Really, really good job.
Very, very good call.
On the box. Thank you, guys.
Perfect drive. Well done.
And let's go to V0.
