There's quite a lot of showers developing around us, but it's not clear when it will hit us.0:1315:14VETVettelPitPitBottas 1 .2 behind, engine free.0:0815:15RAIRaikkonenWe have some rain on the visor. Copy, copy.0:0615:16HAMHamiltonPitPitReports, very light rain, turn 6.0:0615:17HULHulkenbergPitPitAnd further tyre update Nico, left rear is in the danger zone.0:0715:20RICRicciardoGrip is really, really low. OK, understood.0:0815:23GROGrosjeanPitPitMan, just put me in the f***ing... Understood, we'll report. Next is Hamilton behind.0:1115:25VERVerstappenOK, can you check the wind in sector 2, 2, 3, felt a bit more? Yep, strong tailwind through exit of 8th through 10. And potential for a change of, well, small tailwind gusts through 12 as well. But certainly exit 8 through 10 tailwind.0:2215:26HAMHamiltonPitPitOk Luce, Hülkenberg ahead reporting that he has blistering, just keep an eye on your temps.0:0915:27HAMHamiltonPitPitSo next car, Magnussen on the used ultra, last lap was a 20 .0.0:0815:34HAMHamiltonPitPitThis is all looking good Lewis, all looking good. So still 53 laps to go, so it looks like Räikkönen...0:1515:36RAIRaikkonenPitPitGood pace is what we need now.0:0615:38RAIRaikkonenPitPitShould I try to look after the left rear, he's getting a bit hot there or not. It's fine like this Kimi, it's fine like this.0:1215:41HULHulkenbergIs it crucial to get past these guys quickly or not? Not at the moment, Nico. Perez, if he boxes, will come out about 3 seconds behind you.0:1215:48RICRicciardoEverything's on a knife edge in stability than the front at apex. OK, you are quicker than all the cars behind you, so you are pulling away from everyone behind, which is good.0:1415:49RAIRaikkonenPitPitSebastian is on option as well, our tyres are 11 laps old.0:0815:50RICRicciardoLosing power. Something's wrong. Ok Daniel, stop the car please. Stop the car. Sorry about that. If you can, pull over in a place near a halt.0:1415:51VERVerstappenYeah, I'll start the slide. Understood, Max.0:0815:53HAMHamiltonPitPitLewis, you are still on your target lap. We will extend as much as we can.0:0815:55RAIRaikkonenPitPitEngine 4, take care about tyres and fuel and we'll be fine.0:0715:56VETVettelOk, my rears are getting quite hot. Yeah, we do see that. Rain prediction in 10 -15 minutes. Rain prediction 10 -15 minutes.0:1415:57VETVettelThis is just silly, I'm just losing time, I'm destroying my tyres. Understood, copy.0:0916:00VANVandoornePitPitI have a problem. Copy Stoffel, what's happening? The engine is cutting out all the time. It's hesitating. Scenario 1 Stoffel, Scenario 1. And Stoffel, we need to back off, back off, Scenario 1 is good. So Stoffel, confirm we have a problem, keep the RPM low. I guess we are boxing. Yeah, we'll have to retire the car. We should be able to bring the car back, at the moment there is a 30 second gap behind.0:3816:02VETVettelThis is just silly, I'm just losing time and destroying my tyres. Understood, copy. How fast can you go? More than a second, low 17, you let me. OK, copy that. Hamilton lap time 18 .2, still 3 .5 behind. Yeah, but I'm losing everything I've worked in the first in. Understood.0:3316:04VETVettelDon't you see the tyre temperature? Can you see it? Yeah, we can see that, we can see that. Yeah, so what are you waiting for? Kimi has been informed, Kimi has been informed.0:1716:06ALOAlonsoPitPitAnd Fernando, the shower does look to be on its way, it'll hit turn 1, turn 2 first.0:0916:07VERVerstappenPitPitOK, current expectations are for rain in 10 minutes Max, 10 minutes.0:0816:10HAMHamiltonPitPitSo just remember, you're going to call it if you need wet tyres. We think it should be okay though. Wet down at turn 6.0:1016:12VETVettelPitPitCan be very heavy, watch out there, if it's safe to go through there, or you won't, tyres, it's still ok, the rest of the track is clear, you expect it to be just there, isolated, also turn 10, I stay out for now, copy.0:2816:17VETVettelPitPitPeople that stop for wet tyres are destroying tyres, so it's worth stay out. Ok, stay out. Rain decreasing, rain decreasing. I think a little part of the front flap, the flap is off. Yeah, we saw that from telly.0:2016:19HAMHamiltonPitPitOK Lewis, we expect it to last 3 minutes and no more, but just keep your eye out.0:0716:20VERVerstappenYeah, it's raining, but not where you guys are. So I'm not sure overall this is better, to go back to rain. Yeah, it's raining.0:1216:26VETVettelPitPitSorry guys.0:0616:27HAMHamiltonPitPitSo lapped cars may overtake, so there's a lot of them. So these guys have new tyres right behind me again. Affirm, so 12 cars will be passing, so no weaving.0:1316:28HAMHamiltonSafety car really needs to pick up the pace, this is like stone cold tyres.0:1316:31HAMHamiltonStill spits of rain in a lot of places. Copy.0:0716:32HAMHamiltonPitPitRemember we do expect rain maybe to hit the last couple of laps.0:0816:36BOTBottasPitPitValtteri, it's James, please hold position, I'm sorry. Copy James.0:0916:37SAISainzStarting to drain again. Ok, understood.0:0616:41HAMHamiltonPitPitAnd 4 laps remaining, threat of rain to the north is building.0:0716:43HAMHamiltonPitPitSo Lewis, the chance of rain hitting will be last lap, it'll be on the last lap.0:0716:47HAMHamiltonPitPitGet in there, Lewis. Miracles do happen, mate. Guys, what an amazing job by you guys. Thank you so much. I'm so grateful. Love conquers all. Yeah, mate, that has been a stellar drive. Absolutely stellar drive.0:20
