Yes, safety car, so did the last one. OK, copy. I'm not sure how long this is going to take. I imagine I've got to do a bit of barrier replacement.

Just keep an eye on those callip attempts. I know you've got a bit of a split, but yeah, just keep an eye on that front right. Thanks for reminding me.

It's a red flag, doesn't the tyre wall look fine? Find out what the reason for a red flag is. Affirm, Lewis.
0:13
18:00
HAM
Hamilton
Have they said what the reason is? Not heard anything yet. Tyre wall looks fine. James, that was a big gamble that they just took. Because we were right behind them on the SCU. That doesn't even make sense. Does it make sense to you? It's a gamble because they stopped Perez and most people stopped in the top 10. Not 100 % sense, no. It's a risk we knew with that red flag. But we didn't think it was going to happen. We have potential. I'll come down and see you. There's still possibilities for us.

ALO
Alonso
Here we go, red flag. Ah, that's rubbish. Ah! Yeah, I can't believe it, you know. F***ing all season unlucky. It's a long way to go. Anything can happen, let's stay focused. Yeah, I know mate, but... F***, every decision we take, it was the other one.

Verstappen
Pit
Pit
OK, formation lap procedure in effect would be similar to the original formation lap max, as the original formation lap product is in between the sides of the throttle, and then once the safety car has come back into the pit lane, you take up your standing start. Um, a static bite point or not? Just one row before the Mercedes -Benz pit wall, two long burnouts, and a little brake application delay, and then the extra ramp for other stations down into your position. Could be a static bite point or not?
0:42

RIC
Ricciardo
Do I need to do ACS again? Out of turn 10 or something? Yes please, yep, just the same as last time. Everything the same as last time.
0:11
18:12
HAM
Hamilton
So James, what's the scenario now, what have we got to do? Hi Lewis, main thing is this, everyone's going to go to the end of the race on these hard tyres now, but you had car pace at the beginning, and there's a few options we can throw in there with additional VSCs and safety cars. Main thing for now is pressure him, you had car pace.

So during this roller round lap we can talk to you and I will let you know standing start or rolling start. Just check the panels anyway. RS SS

So for the race start, assuming you're standing, we'll be going to scenario 1 and recharge off, they'll be the only changes. Again, we can guide you through all that. Think of this as a formation lap where you've got me bothering you.

Can't cross the whole curve. Just retook me over, off, outside the white line. Roger loose, yep, we're on it. It's clearly ahead going here, man. Yeah, copy, we're on it.

If they do another standing start, I think there shouldn't be a safety car because the pace is too slow for the formation lap.

So on this procedure, once it goes green at the end, Max is going to pull to one side, you and Esteban are going to pull away, and then he's going to slot in behind you.

Yeah, we need a safety car. I don't know if Michael is hitting or not, but the circuit is in the worst condition of the weekend, mate. I mean, we put the red flags, 100 red flags, and now we are racing at 300 kph with the circuit like this. Yeah, copy that. I'm sure he's listening.

VSC, follow the delta, mode SC. Ok, but now we stop if we want to change it, right now. If we want to change the front wing or something. Because we're going to get overtaken anyhow. We can't do anything on your floor, Kimi. Stay out, stay out.
