Engineer: The track is wetter than expected, but it's going to improve quickly, all the cars on track.
Yuki TSUNODA: Thai Bracket as soon as possible please. Is Kulingdak quite correct?
Engineer: That's clear.
Engineer: Let's do the thousand bank gets as soon as possible. Yes, we are trying to tell them
Engineer: Ok, tyres are coming up. A little bit patient on Rikidza.
Engineer: So Max, we've dropped over 10 degrees relative to the previous outlet, so it's going to take a while to bring these up.
Engineer: Okay, we have Yuki 5 behind, don't drop too much anymore
Engineer: The only switch needed is go push before the last corner.
George RUSSELL: I mean the track is definitely drying a bit now
Engineer: I
George RUSSELL: mean the track is definitely drying a bit now.
Engineer: Tires coming into the window now, a few drops around.
Fernando ALONSO: I'm behind Piastri.
Engineer: No, there's only four seconds behind him.

Valtteri BOTTAS: It's at a spin, all good.
Engineer: Yeah, copy that.
Valtteri BOTTAS: Good, no grip at all man.
Engineer: Okay, you can use recharge but try and keep the tires in the window
Engineer: So, currently P2, two tenths to Leclerc, and just noting that Norris using all wider lines, six and seven. He got Sainz's car behind two seconds on a lap.
George RUSSELL: It's a relatively dry road, turns 9 to 15. I can feel I'm damaging my tyre but I'll
Engineer: be
George RUSSELL: having a box.
Engineer: Lando Minor, White H-4, position 1, White H-4, position 1, more deployment.
Engineer: So your lap time was like P6, P7. Only losses to Hamilton and Sainz is turn 1 and turn 9, so it was a pretty good lap. Would be okay to push next lap. Leclerc, 4 behind on a push.
Fernando ALONSO: Yeah, I need to give you more info what the others are doing, where I'm losing time.
Engineer: And diff mid minus one suggested diff mid minus one
Engineer: Let's start the next lap a bit on a warmer side.
Engineer: We'll go green six, position three for the next lap.
Engineer: Pre-select engine 4 and driver default Delta zero on
Engineer: And turn 12, turn 12, you can use more help, that's good. Radio, I will see the middle 7. Copy.
Engineer: I
Nico HULKENBERG: think we can box, I think we know about the balance, it's just getting these in-between conditions now.
Engineer: And a weather update for you. The rain might get worse in 15 minutes time.
Alexander ALBON: I'm going to try and just back off a little bit, it's sector 3 and then go again
Alexander ALBON: Can we try a different mode or this mode?
Engineer: Now we're staying in this one. Any other option will be single lap. So Hockenberg slow eight ahead. You've got 13 seconds back to Joe.
Logan SARGEANT: My friends are going away quite a bit
Engineer: Suggest blue b6 blue b6
Daniel RICCIARDO: Yeah, so I'll say similar limitations compared to yesterday, so yeah, very similar comments.
Engineer: We have engine 1 available if you need, otherwise we stay full.
Engineer: Cyan intensity, sector one.
Max VERSTAPPEN: It's starting to rain now as well by the way
Engineer: Yes, we're away with that Max, thank you Vox
Engineer: Just have a feel of the grip in this condition, but if you feel that's not teaching you anything
Engineer: Ok Daniel, as expected it's starting to rain, it's level 1, and we expect level 2 in around 5 minutes
Sergio PEREZ: Yeah, it's raining quite hard over here.
Yuki TSUNODA: Rotation go better in the last bit.
Engineer: Understood.
Engineer: I think look at the radar. This is the worst of the rain right now
Sergio PEREZ: From the left side
Engineer: So with this level of rain, just expect the standing water to be increasing a little bit more.
Valtteri BOTTAS: And the tires don't feel great, so at the moment I'm not learning much here, limitations are still the same.
Engineer: Ok mate we could use the open modifier turn 9 and 15 to help there, we've got Leclerc on a time-lapse 11 seconds behind I couldn't hear, I couldn't hear, I got it
Daniel RICCIARDO: Clutch was really sensitive, pulling away.
Engineer: I
Esteban OCON: have no content left.
Engineer: It's hard to keep temps.
Engineer: Yeah, copy. Yeah, that's just the water level
Engineer: Lance pushing three behind. We think it's worth trying another click or even two clicks forward and brake balance.
Engineer: So Carlos did a 40.9 second lap you did a 40.4 so faster
Engineer: It's heavy rain in pit lane now. Take care. Could be class three in pit lane now.
