Pit
Nico, we can go sock four, just gives us more flexibility and then when we do that back off we'll have an easier chance of going to sock one. We'll just talk about the conditions a lot.

It's possible in these conditions we should go for it on the first time lap. We think Class 2 rain 8 minutes into the session.

And we will need to build temperature as much as possible in this outlook.

PIA
Piastri
Pit
Pit
So Oscar, latest forecast is Class 1 rain, 8 minutes in. That'll build up to Class 2 for a couple of minutes and may drop back down to Class 1 by the end of the session. So you should have a bit of time here. Therefore, suggest Strat 10.

So you should get one timed in before we see any rain and then it'll be class one for a lap.

ALO
Alonso
It was not easy to improve now the second lap, so... Yeah, so you would definitely need a call, ideally, and we're just having a look now. Yeah, true, yeah. Yeah, the call will make a big difference.

Also, I think I didn't feel much grip. I don't know why.

Yeah, I don't think it's fixed, to be honest. There's just too much instability, like, initially.

Zalando, we open the lap. As soon as you're sure it's slower, just don't overuse the tyre. It means it might be drying up and we'll want to do it later in the session.
