ZHOU GuanyuI have a problem guys. What's
Engineeryour
ZHOU Guanyuproblem? My last drive I have no power.
Max VERSTAPPENI think there's a car with an issue on the side. Okay. All right. Now, bye.
ZHOU GuanyuCan you check? I'm having no power. Yeah, we're checking. The more photo I use, the worse it gets. Copy that, still awaiting feedback. I cannot get more photos than what I do now.
Max VERSTAPPENI think there's a car with an issue on the side Okay, alright, nah,

Logan SARGEANTwhole station and you have tools.

ZHOU GuanyuAre you sure the power is fixed?
EngineerLooks ok Joe, from outside.
EngineerNeed to make it a bit easier for me to get out the garage guys
George RUSSELLWe should have waited in
Engineerthe
George RUSSELLgarage for a couple of minutes or 30 seconds so I can push
EngineerTires have come up nicely.
EngineerHow is the track condition for you?
Valtteri BOTTASIt's still in turn.
EngineerToo
Valtteri BOTTASmany wet spots.
EngineerDo you want to do two push next time or just one? How
Valtteri BOTTASmany I have if I do charge in between.
EngineerI
Valtteri BOTTASthink for the tyres it's going to be better to do just one at a time. Then let's do that.
EngineerTrack will dry quickly now, the next couple of minutes. Yeah, copy that. So we don't want to go too early.
Sergio PEREZAre the tires getting hot?
EngineerThey're on the warm side.
Esteban OCONHe's drying up, especially at the end. Still wet at the beginning. Copy.
EngineerHow are conditions, Max? Thoughts for a dry? No, no, no. Understood.
Charles LECLERCCome on, Tsunoda. Yeah, Tsunoda is quite a ****,
Engineerto
Charles LECLERCbe honest.
EngineerCopy. We've seen it.
Lewis HAMILTONI need to come in. I can't see anyone in my mirrors, mate. That's right.
Lewis HAMILTONYou can't see him.
Pierre GASLYShould be burned for such a thing. I'm coming at 300 like what do they think?
EngineerSo unfortunately we are out.
ZHOU GuanyuYeah, that was a pretty messy session.
Nico HULKENBERGAh, f*** that overcurry.
EngineerSo, Landon, we think this rain will be intermittent and the main front might come later this week.
Lando NORRISSo I'm thinking you could get away with a slick, I have a feeling a slick would be the better tyre right now.
EngineerOk, so how's the truck? That part is almost
Esteban OCONdry, but it's turn 1 and 2, I need to see
EngineerOk mate, understood
Charles LECLERCIt's looking quite dry, there's a line that is really dry. When is the rain coming? In
Engineersix to seven minutes.
Charles LECLERCI think we should box for soft.
EngineerFirst tap and stay it out. I think we should box for soft, but let me know if you want to put a lap in. We would like to set a lap, so we stay out and we do one time lap.
Max VERSTAPPENYeah it's raining here a bit
Lewis HAMILTONThey're all on flex now mate, are we should be coming or not?
EngineerWe think with the rain down at 10, maybe not.
EngineerHeavier rain in two to three minutes.
Esteban OCONHey impeding for f*** sake
Sergio PEREZIt's raining harder now.
EngineerWe've got one more time-lapse after this. We need half a second on our doubter.
Charles LECLERCYeah, it's always when we're not ready, come on!
Lando NORRISLet me know if anyone says it's too wet because it could be to listen to the radios if anyone was too good for wets or something
EngineerUnderstood, we're on it
EngineerOkay, Nico, so the conditions are it's raining. It's just getting worse and worse
EngineerSo this is the wettest conditions and surfaces the coldest has been
Max VERSTAPPENTires are really cold.

EngineerYeah, copy that.
Esteban OCONThe front left has suffered a bit, that tire.
Max VERSTAPPENIt's
Engineera
Max VERSTAPPENlot wetter already
EngineerBut even heavier rain in two minutes
EngineerIf you don't think it'll improve, Nico, we don't need to take any risks.

Lewis HAMILTONIt's very wet out here. It's almost extremes.
