George RUSSELLIs that rain still coming for the start of the session? Affirm yep, it'll

Engineerbe light rain to start with then increasing intensity.

EngineerRain expected 12.40, that is in nine minutes time, single time lap on this tyre please.

EngineerI don't know why the Williams are going so slow, they're pointless. Yeah, understood.

EngineerAnd expecting rain in around five minutes away pushing behind Sargent eight and a half

EngineerPre

Sergio PEREZ-grip in the medium speed, I love some traction, 1.5, 1.7, the traction wasn't great.

EngineerThink about the push toggle for turn 12, push toggle turn 12.

Sergio PEREZYeah, it was a very neutral turn 12.

ZHOU GuanyuYeah, I locked up into turn 1, maybe I need some bias rewards.

Lewis HAMILTONVariability still not great.

EngineerOkay, copy.

EngineerOK, mate, rain expected, four minutes.

EngineerAnd if we get Drizzle, it should start around turn 13 in the next couple of laps.

Nico HULKENBERGThink probably double cool now, but the salad to have some brain on the visor.

EngineerOkay, you know, let's do double cool

Nico HULKENBERGSalah to F-Suprane on the visor. OK.

ZHOU GuanyuFront wing question Where we are is okay

Valtteri BOTTASYes, there was

Charles LECLERCYeah, it's, uh, it's now raining.

EngineerCopy.

Alexander ALBONIs he okay?

EngineerYeah, oh good

Carlos SAINZCan you let me know if you can see the spray?

EngineerNo spray, no spray. Now a bit of a spray, getting out from 9. Very little.

EngineerAnd we need secondary KC position 3, KC position 3.

EngineerBreak temperature warning. Break temperature warning. You should be BC5 as well, please. BC5.

George RUSSELLIt's definitely raining, the track just doesn't seem that wet

George RUSSELLIt's definitely raining, the track just doesn't seem that wet

EngineerMy charge was using the curve exit and seven and push it behind three and a half

EngineerSome drivers reporting the tyres are good for only two pushing laps before they degrade.

Alexander ALBONYeah, it feels quite dry

Nico HULKENBERGFront left is already falling apart.

EngineerOkay, understood.

Esteban OCONThe fronts are... I see rubber going off everywhere

EngineerHow far we are from dry conditions? How far from slicks?

Lando NORRISTough to say, but the inches have gone off already, so... What would be better is to put a slick on and see how that is.

Esteban OCONThe fronts are... I see ropa going off everywhere.

EngineerOkay, understood. We don't need to risk anything at this stage, if you're happy with what you've got in terms of balance feel, I'm happy to come in.

EngineerWe're going to box, Lance. Box, box.

Lance STROLLWhy?

EngineerWe need to box and check the floor.

EngineerHad a bit of an aero bounce down the

George RUSSELLstraight, poor

Engineermarker.

EngineerI

Nyck DE VRIESwant to take this car.

EngineerYou

Nyck DE VRIESf***ed my lap.

EngineerHow are the conditions from your side?

Valtteri BOTTASSo sector 1 and 2 is kind of okay

Valtteri BOTTASSo sector 1 and 2 is kind of okay, but sector 3 is damp, not good for slicks.

EngineerJoe, feedback on track condition? Ok, for software ready?

ZHOU GuanyuNo, not yet. Going to turn really steep in the last sector.

Lando NORRISWhy is that where the brakes are so **** what's wrong with the brakes?

EngineerOkay, we are ticking

EngineerCurrently we don't see any progress on the brakes, we keep checking.

EngineerJust to repeat those changes. Okay, we need multi be ERS 1 and recovery 1 and you'll be clear on pit exit. First car pushing will be Norris.

Nyck DE VRIESPapa Pita.

Max VERSTAPPENI don't really feel comfortable pushing in this condition, I think it's a waste.

EngineerEverybody else is pushing, but just let us know.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, but mate, I don't give a ****

Engineerif

Max VERSTAPPENeveryone else is pushing,

Engineerit

Max VERSTAPPENmakes no sense.

EngineerOkay, understood.

Lando NORRISGetting a little bit more slippery again now.

EngineerUnderstood.

Charles LECLERCYeah, I think cool down helps quite a bit.

EngineerI

Charles LECLERCwas way too high on tyres.

EngineerI don't even

George RUSSELLknow how much it's

Engineerraining on the pit wall

George RUSSELLbecause I feel like it's raining more currently

Nyck DE VRIESWhat the f***?

EngineerYeah, we've reported him twice already, Nick. Reported.

ZHOU GuanyuWhat the f*** is he doing, man?

EngineerOscar, probably best to do left hand side and stick on the drier line, the right looks okay, go on the right, otherwise stick on the drier track.

Charles LECLERCIs the clutch okay?

EngineerWe'll come back to you.

Charles LECLERCThere was a strange noise when I released it

EngineerCopy we are checking

Carlos SAINZYeah, the right side was more wet than the left, so you don't have that in there

Nyck DE VRIESI think that was a good session.

EngineerYeah, I think we managed to push things together, so let's focus on harder braking

EngineerSo at the moment we cannot we cannot see anything strange with the clutch
