Lando NORRISI'm just going to stay here. Okay.

EngineerKill it then, please.

Lando NORRISThere's about eight cars down there already. It's about one minute.

George RUSSELLYeah, it's coming down much harder now.

EngineerSo everyone is on soft other than scientists on the medium

EngineerSo it would be good to straight line speed in the out lap where we can, if it does start to get quite wet then just let us know, don't take too much risk.

EngineerSo at the moment it looks like just sector one showing rain from the marshals posts

Carlos SAINZYeah, do it for the medium.

EngineerIs it too wet for now, then?

Fernando ALONSOOh, I mean... I don't know, man. So difficult to guess. It's very bad, yes.

EngineerI don't know. For one lap, maybe OK. I don't know. Put the most temperature you can in and we'll have a look.

Charles LECLERCThat's too dry, 4 inches, so I'll stop at the end of the lap, if you want we can try the medium, but yeah, shake the

Engineerlap off Russell first. Yeah, he's not pushing.

Charles LECLERCIt surprises me that that is too wet for slicks to be honest, it

Engineerdoesn't look... Do we need to box?

EngineerHey Lewis, call that a box box. I'm going to

Lewis HAMILTONkeep going up there while I'm driving.

Charles LECLERCWe are boxing. Yes, we need to box. What do you mean we need to box?

EngineerBox, please. Box, please.

Charles LECLERCI'm boxing, but let me know if there's a problem so I slow down. No, no problem. Just box, please

Pierre GASLYYeah, I just have no temps

Pierre GASLYIs it gonna rain later or not?

EngineerStill rain on the radar, happy to keep going.

EngineerOK Pierre, so how's the track?

Pierre GASLYGetting better.

EngineerOkay, so temps are low, just need to keep building as best we can.

EngineerAnd Gasly last time was on the crossover 22.6, so track OK for drive based on lap time.

EngineerAnd five and six look the wettest to us, and you can go to go one, go one, still got all the cars behind us slow.

EngineerOkay Pierre, you have the back left available for turn 10. Back left for turn 10.

Pierre GASLYOkay, so it's raining more now

EngineerOkay, so as long as the track is still safe and you think you're learning something we can stay out But if it gets difficult we can come in

Yuki TSUNODALet's be ready now copy

Engineeryou keep take no risk

EngineerWe thought you'd take no risk, so you did well.

EngineerWe expect the rain rate to stay similar We expect the rain rate to stay similar to turn to now turn 10 looks one of the trickiest parts

EngineerYeah, okay, raining crazy. A little change.

Daniel RICCIARDOOkay, yeah, yeah, it's increasing.

EngineerCopy, box, box. Yeah, it's raining too hard now.

Logan SARGEANTRain's coming down. Hard now, turn 10. Copy.

Fernando ALONSOYeah, Leclerc is slow, especially in the last corner, no mirrors. Typical Ferrari.

EngineerWe're in the morgue. Yeah, SOC 3 suggested, keep the tiles up, there should be a gap next lap.

EngineerSo Lance, we think we've got another two laps like this and it might start to increase.

EngineerOkay, Logan, very good job. Mess lab now is 18.0. You can keep pushing, build up temperature.

EngineerWe think about five minutes more at this terrain level, five minutes more at this terrain level.

Fernando ALONSODo you want to change tyres or something?

EngineerNot yet, not yet.

EngineerMy rear tyre temps are stable, happy to go again, where we can I'll get mode 8 in, slightly uplifted mode.

EngineerRain coming in four minutes

EngineerTry to keep the 10% of the tires though.

Max VERSTAPPENCan we get the fans? I smell a bit of smoke.

EngineerI'm happy to stay on this set. So Fernando, because the session's been declared wet, we can carry over the other set of tyres to FP3. So for the moment, I'm happy to stay on this set.

EngineerOkay mate, the rain's looking sporadic, could be anything from two to five minutes from now. If we recharge, go one scenario seven up, that might be our best chance.

Logan SARGEANTMy rears are very great

Lewis HAMILTONThese guys keep backing up in the last corner

Nico HULKENBERGIs it raining here now?

EngineerWe think it's increasing from now in sector 2, so I guess so. I

Nico HULKENBERGthink I got some raining on the tires already, that's

Engineerthe

Nico HULKENBERGother thing that's going on.

EngineerCopy.

Fernando ALONSOIt's raining a little bit more.

EngineerOkay, expect similar rain like this for the next 10 minutes.

Daniel RICCIARDOI mean, no one's getting out the way. No one.

EngineerWe have 30 meters margin breaking turn 8, but you're gaining a lot minimum speed. So I'll leave it to you if that's the best approach

Carlos SAINZYeah, it's just taking the d*** off. Yeah, saw

Engineerthat.

Daniel RICCIARDOWhat's the weather doing? Because it's hard to see if it's raining or not.

EngineerIntensity 1 in the pit lane, it's raining now. It's raining harder now. People are starting to box. Okay, I'll box, I'll box. Box, box.

Nico HULKENBERGShower is going to continue like this?

EngineerOkay, yeah, we think it's going to continue and get worse from here.

Nico HULKENBERGThat doesn't feel good.

EngineerI

Nico HULKENBERGthink I'm

Engineergoing

Nico HULKENBERGto come in.

EngineerOkay, copy that. Fox now.

Daniel RICCIARDOI'll wait probably, but for now same comments as FP1,

Engineersame conclusions. So in terms of balance, because it's hard to read on data, so it's very interesting to hear from you, on data with this condition as you know it's always difficult to read the balance.

Valtteri BOTTASWhat's happening with the rear brakes? They are super hot.

EngineerYeah, we see that. Let's go forward on brake balance, plus 4. A

Valtteri BOTTASbit more rain here now.

EngineerUnderstood. Let's box this lap. Box Valtteri, box.

Valtteri BOTTASOkay, box.

EngineerSteering is very

Lance STROLLleft hand down.

EngineerSo focus on brakes, good straight line braking on what we've got on the car is going to help us

Fernando ALONSOYeah, getting quite dry for Inters.

EngineerYeah, copy that. So we think there's this level of rain for the next seven minutes and then maybe heavier for the final five minutes.

Engineerdo we still have a wet configuration? yeah we are on the wet settings, let me know if you need more info, all clear from behind, 10 time lapse to the flag.

EngineerSo now all okay, so Alcon did a 28.7, so you were still fastest on map 2.

Charles LECLERCI don't think that was great for times.

EngineerAnd Lando, just be careful, peak brake pressure over the bump into turn one. Tyre's still at the bottom end of the window.

Fernando ALONSOFor me it's box. I'm not learning much. Track is just getting drier and drier.

Alexander ALBONCan this Ferrari get out of the way? They could every

Engineersingle day. Yeah, it could be.

Logan SARGEANTMassively under-flopped and it's getting quite dry.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerOk so watch for Claire, 4 seconds behind What we have a choice obviously now is drying so

Esteban OCONit's gonna go quicker until the end

EngineerYep, understood What do we do now, so up to you Ok so stand by for the moment, prepare to do another lap and I'll get back to you We have to gauge you about what we're learning here as well with these drying conditions, do you think you're learning anything on this time?

Esteban OCONUm, wildness

George RUSSELLJust do half a back-off?

EngineerYeah, just let me know if you want to come in and make an adjust We're quite keen to make an adjust in the pits Copy You've got a sight 10 seconds behind

George RUSSELLI mean this dry line's appearing now so it's... We're only going to be damaging the tyre currently I'm not learning a huge amount more

EngineerYeah, copy that

EngineerShape 4 for the next lap. We have too much rear locking now, with the track getting quicker.

EngineerOur tires are much hotter than his right now, so good to take a cool down, should be this condition for a couple of laps more.

EngineerWe can try and cool the tyres on the straights where we can.

EngineerThe rate's picking up now as well. Copy.

Nico HULKENBERGThere's something wrong with the brakes into sixth. It was like not going well at all

EngineerJust now or in general?

Nico HULKENBERGNo, all run already. Okay Okay understood

Lando NORRISyeah it's just getting drier and drier so it's just gonna get quicker

Engineerokay potentially silly is it anywhere near a dry this would be a now or never type decision no okay

EngineerOK, that is the checkered flag, so we are going to the grid to do a start.

George RUSSELLLet me know what you want on tyres compared to current.

EngineerWe think minus five is more realistic for where you'd be on this tyre.

EngineerAll right, so for the start we'd like to do on the left hand side again. We'll do three burnouts this time out of turn 14. Then we'd like a static bind point learn on the grid and a second gear start.

EngineerOrlando, as you approach the back, it will be two burnouts please. Second gear, conservative, right hand side.

EngineerNo need to push on the enters. Let's look after them.
