The session, message by message
EngineerOscar, how are the conditions?
Oscar PIASTRIIt's a bit patchy, some places are completely dry, others are still a bit damp. Turn 6 was quite wet and I would struggle on slicks.
EngineerThis level of rain will stay for 35-40 minutes. Okay.
EngineerOrlando, how are the conditions up the hill?
Lando NORRISYeah, I mean, not ideal for the time being. I can't see a lot behind those safety cars, so I can't imagine what it's like for everyone else.
EngineerLando, question, is it visibility or standing water? Visibility. Standing water is not too bad.
EngineerExpecting heavy rain in nine minutes.
EngineerOkay Kimmy, so at the moment the information we have is it'll be a minimum of two laps behind the safety car, two laps behind the safety car, and then they'll call it.
EngineerOscar, how is the visibility?
Oscar PIASTRIQuite a lot better than before through Eau Rouge. After Eau Rouge, it's still quite bad. Yeah, the straight's still pretty bad.
EngineerI remind you, if you need, you can extend to 20 car lengths.
Lewis HAMILTONIt's drying up pretty quick.
EngineerCopy that.
Lando NORRISThe right side of the grid is still a lot wetter than the left. Yeah, it's not side to side equal.
EngineerYeah, that's clear on the video.
Oscar PIASTRIIt feels like it might not be too far off already, understood. Just a straight to turn 5 is wet.
Charles LECLERCI don't
Engineerknow
Charles LECLERCif it's the dart hole, but my god, my toes are gone.
EngineerAnd what about a hard tie? We try to go to the end. What about a hard? Would you take it now? I need an answer quick.
EngineerNo hurry here, just keep on track.
Max VERSTAPPENThe clapping on the main stage is shockingly ****. It's so bad. Understood.
Engineerso that was an update both cars will try and get to the end we think the other car might have to do some pace management to make it work that's our opportunity
Gabriel BORTOLETONico needs to overtake him, man. If not, let me go.
EngineerOkay, we are managing that here.
EngineerAnd Oscar, what you're doing looks good. It's your call, really, on whether we try and get to the end on this tyre, or we consider a pit stop for another one at the moment. I think try to get to the end.
Oscar PIASTRII can feel a little bit of drag already, so...
EngineerI
Oscar PIASTRIthink it will be tough to get to the end.
EngineerUh, Deg looks as expected. We still think the best thing is to go to the end on this tide.
Oscar PIASTRIOkay, I'm happy with that.
EngineerSo, Orlando, these tyres are getting tricky. You need to keep the focus. Don't push the braking as hard as we have been. You're naturally quicker.
EngineerFirst up in 1.2
Charles LECLERCLeave me alone, Steve. Like I have no information, and then when he's getting close, I have too much information. 50 constant, over.
EngineerThere is sales of rain developing around the track, currently clear, we're monitoring.
EngineerWeather update. Could be a few drops in turn one in the last couple of laps. Not currently expecting it, but not impossible.
Oscar PIASTRIGreat afternoon really good. Let's go. Really good job mate. Really good. Nicely done Nicely done
Oscar PIASTRIWell, that makes me feel a bit better about yesterday. I would say that was part of my plan, but Well, then everyone the car was mega once again Yeah, what a day. Thank you very much Very much. Appreciate it.
EngineerLet's go
