    EngineerExpecting the increased rain around lap 16.

    EngineerRain expected in seven laps, lasting for 10 minutes.

  9. Lando NORRISMcLaren15:19:200:10

    EngineerAnd Lando, when the rain comes, it's going to be a racing decision of when is the right conditions to take it, so we'll keep it simple.

  10. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull15:19:580:11

    EngineerSo expect the rain to last around five minutes, then there'll be a window of ten minutes before a longer cell.

  11. Nico HULKENBERGHaas15:22:290:09

  14. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull15:29:230:18

  27. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren16:03:440:11
