PR From Lewis Hamilton It’s very wet out here.

PR From Sebastian Vettel Up at turn four quite a lot of standing water, heavy rain, seven quite heavy, rain still similar to the pit lane. Eight, nine, aquaplaning up the hill.

PR From Romain Grosjean What happened? I crashed. The engine suddenly… I can’t believe it.

PR To Romain Grosjean OK copy.

PR From Lewis Hamilton It’s really quite dangerous out here, it’s actually quite slippery. Particularly up the hill, down to turn four. Turn one is a little bit different to Silverstone. That’s a much more flowing corner. This is… if you want to start on the grid’s there’s probably going to be more risk of carnage, I would say.

PR To Nico Hulkenberg Tyre pressures low, watch out for aquaplaning.

PR From Valtteri Bottas It’s going to be wet tyre, these conditions. Otherwise it’s OK. Just 13, 14, there’s some aquaplaning.

PR To Marcus Ericsson Radar shows still the same. Consistent, light rain.

PR To Felipe Nasr Rainfall decreased slightly but will remain for at least the next 30 minutes like this.

PR From Nico Rosberg Give me some feedback on brake balance from the other car on the laps to grid.

PR To Nico Rosberg On the laps to the grid Lewis did start with brake balance at 66%. He obviously moved it rearwards towards the end of his lap. He’s also got brake warming in our position, four.

PR From Nico Rosberg Well is there any chance I can start the race like that.

PR To Nico Rosberg No don’t think so. You will obviously be using the brake warming magic behind the Safety Car.

PR To Nico Rosberg OK Nico it will be a Safety Car start so starting on [wet weather tyres]. There will be no formation lap.

PR To Nico Hulkenberg Nico current forecast ten minutes like this, half an hour lighter rain, and then more, heavier rain after that.

PR To Nico Rosberg Nico just make sure you have a look at the kerbs on these first few laps, expect there’s still water stalling those kerbs at turn three and there’s reports of water at the apex of turn two as well.

PR To Daniel Ricciardo Obviously think about brake warm-up behind the Safety Car, things like that. Also good chat on conditions like usual please.

PR To Marcus Ericsson Rainfall decreased slightly but will remain for at least the next 30 minutes like this.

1 From Lewis Hamilton I can’t really see behind the Safety Car. Can you ask Charlie if we can hold a bit further back I can barely see the lights.

1 From Sebastian Vettel OK there’s a lot of water on the straights, even between three and four which wasn’t a problem earlier

2 To Max Verstappen OK Max so you’ve done a lap. Let’s have your thoughts on the conditions.

2 From Max Verstappen It’s just a bit the first sector and going into the second one. And then the last main straight, also a bit difficult to see with the aquaplaning. It’s a bit wet.

3 To Daniel Ricciardo How are the conditions at this point?

3 From Daniel Ricciardo At the last corner it’s probably worse at the moment.

3 To Daniel Ricciardo OK understood so exit of the last corner is worst or worse than the lap to the grid?

3 From Daniel Ricciardo Yeah worse than the laps to the grid. It’s probably the worst spot on the track.

3 To Daniel Ricciardo OK, understood.

3 From Jenson Button Visibility is non-existent. Lot of standing water everywhere. But the corners that really matter are turn five and obviously the last corner. Because obviously they’re completely blind as well with the spray.

3 To Jenson Button Copy, Jenson, copy.

4 From Carlos Sainz Jnr It’s possible to race but on the limit visibility at the minute.

4 To Daniil Kvyat All OK with the car, Danny, at the moment.

4 From Daniil Kvyat Yeah OK. Plenty of aquaplaning at the moment and visibility, obviously.

4 To Daniel Ricciardo OK Daniel any change in conditions?

4 From Daniel Ricciardo Nothing dramatic at the moment. Obviously the track we’re running on’s got a little bit of a better line. But visibility’s pretty poor. But it’s slowly getting better as you’d expect.

4 To Daniel Ricciardo OK understood. Do you think it’s ready to start the race yet, question?

4 From Daniel Ricciardo It’s getting close, yeah. Probably another lap or two.

5 To What you think about a possible restart, Max.

5 From Max Verstappen I don’t know. It’s just the spray, that’s the only thing. And if we just keep driving so slow it will not get any better.

5 To Max Verstappen OK understood.

5 From Nico Hulkenberg The track is good it’s just out of turn 12 there’s a lot of water, aquaplaning. Can’t see [censored by FOM] on the straight.

5 From Kevin Magnussen It’s easily ready to race.

5 To Kevin Magnussen OK Kev, that’s good.

6 From Max Verstappen No I think we can start. Just the spray.

6 To Max Verstappen OK, understood.

7 From Lewis Hamilton When I stop later if there’s any way you can block the top of my visor. There’s so much water coming in. Big, big chunks just landed in my eyes.

7 From Nico Rosberg Still a lot of water up the hill where Grosjean crashed.

7 To Nico Rosberg Copy that.

7 To Pascal Wehrlein Safety Car in this lap Pascal. Prepare to bunch up to the cars in front.

8 To Kevin Magnussen Understood, boxing for inters, Kev.

8 From Jenson Button Information on Magnussen, obviously, in the next 20 seconds if you can.

8 To Jenson Button Copy, Jenson. We will not get a sector time in time.

9 To Jenson Button Jenson Magnussen pace looks similar by GPS.

9 From Jenson Button Pit this lap, pit this lap.

9 To Jenson Button Copy, box this lap.

9 To Marcus Ericsson For info one car came in for the inters it was Magnussen. So far…

9 From Marcus Ericsson [Unclear]

9 To Marcus Ericsson Understood

9 From Daniel Ricciardo OK let me know anything that will get me out of the spray. I’m not even full down the straight. Just visibility.

9 To Daniel Ricciardo OK mate.

10 To Nico Hulkenberg How’s the conditions are we onto inters yet do you think?

10 From Nico Hulkenberg No I don’t think inters.

10 To Nico Rosberg Cars are stopping for inter tyres now.

10 From Nico Rosberg No way, too early.

11 To Sebastian Vettel We are in the crossover. Inters seem better, what do you think?

11 From Sebastian Vettel Yeah but is their clean air with inter?

11 To Sebastian Vettel Are you happy to box for inter?

11 From Sebastian Vettel Is there clean air? Can I see something when I come out?

11 To Sebastian Vettel No clean air.

11 From Sebastian Vettel Then we stay here.

11 To Sebastian Vettel OK copy.

13 To Daniil Kvyat We are catching up a ton on Magnussen. Magnussen is going to block Button now.

13 To Kimi Raikkonen So we are on the crossover and lots of people are stopping for inters now Kimi, we need to think about coming in for inters.

13 From Kimi Raikkonen OK but I almost spun again. I don’t know how you’re going to stay on the circuit that’s the problem. I have no rear end I’m aquaplaning all the time.

13 To Kimi Raikkonen Understood. We’ll get a warm set, maybe that helps, Kimi?

13 From Kimi Raikkonen OK but I don’t think we’re going to stay on the circuit very easily if we change now.

14 From Marcus Ericsson Ah but it’s game over.

14 To Marcus Ericsson Understood.

14 From Marcus Ericsson Sorry. Aquaplaning.

14 From Max Verstappen What there’s someone in the pit entry?

14 To Max Verstappen There’s a Sauber in the pit entry just look out for him.

14 From Max Verstappen It will be tricky with these tyres, mate.

14 To Marcus Ericsson Understood. Switch-off procedure.

15 From Lewis Hamilton Was that someone on inters?

15 To Lewis Hamilton That was Ericsson on inter.

15 From Lewis Hamilton There’s still way too much standing water.

15 From Nico Rosberg We were still really far away from inters. There’s aquaplaning in a big way, still.

15 To Nico Rosberg OK copy that.

15 To Nico Rosberg So just information at the moment: Raikkonen is the car behind. Verstappen is behind him on inter tyres. So expecting the rain to pick up a little bit in 10 to 15 minutes.

16 To Kevin Magnussen So think Ericsson touched the white line on the inside of the last corner and that’s why he spun. And we saw Vettel earlier have a moment there. So 12 to 15 be careful there, Kev.

16 To Jenson Button So Jenson you might have seen more clearly than me now but if there is debris it’s on the right hand side after SC1 and on the left-hand side after SC1. You should cross from left to right at Safety Car One.

16 From Jenson Button Yeah it’s all on the left-hand side. The problem you have in the last corner, there’s so much running water all the way across the circuit, it’s a tricky one.

17 From Kevin Magnussen The puddle at turn five is really big now. Too dangerous, guys.

17 To Kevin Magnussen Understood you think it’s too dangerous. So Kev the pit entry is now open but at the moment we’re staying out. The trouble is you’re on intermediates at the moment so if you’re on wets it might be OK.

17 From Kevin Magnussen It can’t be it’s much worse now than when we started the race.

17 To Kevin Magnussen Much worse, understood Kev. Still under Safety Car.

17 From Kevin Magnussen The track is way too wet now. It’s really bad now.

17 To Kevin Magnussen You think it’s too bad for inters?

17 From Kevin Magnussen I think it’s just too wet period. Both tyres.

17 To Kevin Magnussen Understood.

18 To Daniil Kvyat OK Danny confirmed we have a slow puncture on the front-right. Stay out for now, pit lane is still closed.

18 From Daniil Kvyat So what does that mean, we will have to box?

18 To Daniil Kvyat The pit lane is still closed, we cannot come in at the moment. Are we still OK to drive?

18 From Daniil Kvyat Yeah well I feel the front right maybe has a bit less air. Yeah I can drive, of course.

18 To Daniil Kvyat OK we need to try to do one more lap.

18 From Daniil Kvyat Yeah well I don’t feel anything at the moment I’m actually able to stay out.

19 To Felipe Massa Which is the best tyre do you think at the moment.

19 From Felipe Massa I would say maybe this tyre is quicker but it’s bad aquaplaning, you know?

19 To Felipe Massa OK understood. We think it’s going to be like this for most of the rest of the race.

19 From Felipe Massa OK.

19 To Lewis Hamilton Lewis just give us some feedback on current conditions in terms of spray.

19 From Lewis Hamilton It’s no different.

19 To Lewis Hamilton OK Roger. Lewis we expect the rain to get hard in five minutes. Ericsson’s spin was wheel on inside kerb, turn 14.

20 To Max Verstappen Safety Car in this lap, Max. OK mate so as I said we’ve got the long game here, you saw how conditions steadily improved as we circulated. So just think about it initially, no need to be a hero, try to keep it on the black stuff. Maintain position at the very minimum. And let’s see how we get on.

20 From Max Verstappen Yeah because it’s one where I feel like driving a boat mate, it’s a lot of water.

21 To Lewis Hamilton So stop 20 metres before the white line.

21 From Sebastian Vettel I mean this is just mad, honestly, it’s just stupid. Red flag. That’s what it is.

21 To Sebastian Vettel Cool the brake and how about extreme, you think extremes?

21 From Sebastian Vettel Yeah we need extremes, first of all, second we need to stop the race. It doesn’t work. How many people do you want to crash? I nearly crashed into Kimi in the middle of the straight. Couldn’t see anything.

21 To Sebastian Vettel Red flag, stay out.

21 From Sebastian Vettel Yeah, finally.

21 From Felipe Nasr It’s so [censored by FOM] wet. I nearly lost the car in turn 12.

21 To Felipe Nasr Yeah we have seen a big shunt on the main straight.

21 From Felipe Nasr The conditions are very heavy now, the worst.

21 To Felipe Nasr Understood Felipe, stay calm, stay out.

21 From Nico Hulkenberg Woah big shunt on the straight. I have something hit in front of my chin, my front wing maybe. Some part hit my front wing, check that. The aquaplaning is not fun. These tyres are just not capable.

21 From Max Verstappen I almost lost it there on the straight and I was not pushing. Can someone bring me an extra pair of gloves because they are completely soaked.

21 To Max Verstappen Will do.

21 From Esteban Ocon [Censored by FOM] hell. That was one millimetre close. Guys it is blind in the straight line now. Nicholas tell Michael that I have water coming in the helmet and I need the rain joint on the visor.

21 To Esteban Ocon OK, copy that.

21 To Jenson Button The FIA have mandated that all cars start on full wets, so we’re on that.

21 From Esteban Ocon The visibility is very, very poor. More than when we stopped.

21 To Felipe Nasr So we will do more than one lap behind the Safety Car.

21 From Jenson Button We have the Safety Car beeps, is there any way to get rid of them.

21 To Jenson Button Jenson default echo nine.

22 To Sergio Perez Heavy rain coming soon, we expect at least 50 minutes of this.

22 From Sergio Perez More than this?

22 To Sergio Perez The heavy rain is starting now.

22 From Sebastian Vettel OK up the hill it’s still quite bad. People are not daring really to go fast. Four, five seems a tiny bit better. So is between three and four. But big issues up the hill.

23 To Nico Hulkenberg We have a puncture, right-rear, we have a right-rear puncture. Pit this lap.

23 From Nico Hulkenberg Oh really, Jesus.

23 To Nico Rosberg Nico let us know how the conditions are.

23 From Nico Rosberg Still very difficult. Still a lot of water.

23 To Nico Rosberg Copy, copy.

23 To Fernando Alonso How are track conditions compared to before?

23 From Fernando Alonso A little bit better.

25 To Max Verstappen So Max they are potentially expecting an increase in rain intensity, in around 20 minutes we expect.

25 From Sebastian Vettel The rain teams to get heavier. Still up the hill but there’s more rivers now in turn five. So it seems to get worse. There’s definitely more rain now. I nearly lost the car between nine and ten, also eleven. More rivers.

25 To Valtteri Bottas Feedback on the track condition, Valtteri.

25 From Valtteri Bottas Still the same. The other tyre’s going to be quicker.

26 To Daniil Kvyat Double yellow Danny, Raikkonen crashed in turn nine, Safety Car.

26 From Daniil Kvyat Oh no, he crashed me. Check my sidepod, left. Car seems OK. [Censored by FOM] sake it was a big one guys. Keep checking rear-left. Palmer crashed.

26 To Daniil Kvyat OK at the moment everything’s OK we are checking.

26 From Daniil Kvyat Yeah confirmed, puncture.

27 To Daniil Kvyat Yep. Take it easy.

27 To Jolyon Palmer Double yellow end of the straight. Double yellow. Be careful. Safety Car.

27 From Jolyon Palmer Yeah that’s me. I’ve had quite a lot of contact.

27 To Jolyon Palmer Yeah, you have a lot of damage. What have you done Jo? We haven’t seen.

27 From Jolyon Palmer I can still drive, I’ve hit the side of Kvyat.

27 To Jolyon Palmer Do you have a lot of damage? Front wing, suspension?

27 From Jolyon Palmer I’ve got some damage. Something’s broken on the steering.

27 To Jolyon Palmer OK box, box. And if you feel the car is unsafe just stop. But try to bring the car back.

27 From Jolyon Palmer I’ve lost a lot of power.

27 To Jolyon Palmer Yes and you have a front-right puncture as well.

27 To Sergio Perez OK Checo confirmed the puncture for Nico was debris. It was definitely a cut from debris, we suspect around start/finish line.

27 From Sergio Perez It was obviously a new set, right?

27 To Sergio Perez Correct.

27 From Lewis Hamilton Feels like it’s starting to rain more but it’s difficult to say.

27 To Lewis Hamilton OK copy that Lewis. May do, very hard to tell. Just remember if the track condition is drier we need to maybe look after the wet a little bit more. Condition was good at the end of the first tyre.

27 From Lewis Hamilton The longer we wait, the more rain comes down.

27 To Lewis Hamilton Copy that, Lewis.

27 From Max Verstappen I think we can definitely race now.

27 To Max Verstappen Yeah we have fed that back to race control. Max you cannot pass the Merc I understand he just braked pretty aggressively there but make sure you keep well behind.

28 From Felipe Nasr It’s very bad. The main straight is undrivable here.

28 To Felipe Nasr Understood Felipe we will report. Just keep focused. Still P6.

28 From Felipe Nasr Still too much water on the main straight.

28 To Lewis Hamilton Red flag, red flag.

28 From Lewis Hamilton The track is fine.

29 From Valtteri Bottas What’s the reason for the red flag?

29 To Valtteri Bottas I’m guessing it’s just the weather Valtteri. No other reason for the moment.

29 From Valtteri Bottas OK. For me it ‘s just wet weather. You know, are we racing or not?

29 To Valtteri Bottas Yep copy that.

29 From Lewis Hamilton It’s not even that wet now. I don’t know why we’re stopping. This is not even extreme wet conditions, this is normal.

29 From Esteban Ocon The luck is with us, guys.

29 To Nico Hulkenberg So we’re expecting this level of rain or heavier for the next 50 minutes still. So we’re predicting a time-limited race now Nico.

29 From Nico Hulkenberg How much is there left for the time limit?

29 To Nico Hulkenberg One hour, nine minutes,

29 To Max Verstappen Again Safety Car will do a minimum of two laps. It will not be in this lap.

29 To Max Verstappen OK red flag, suspended race.

29 From Max Verstappen The conditions are much better than before.

29 To Max Verstappen Probably conflicts of interest going on amongst the drivers, I expect that’s the problem.

30 To Daniel Ricciardo Any initial thoughts on the track?

30 From Daniel Ricciardo Nothing yet. Seems pretty similar.

30 To Daniel Ricciardo OK understood.

31 From Lewis Hamilton We didn’t have any more new tyres?

31 To Lewis Hamilton Lewis these have just done the laps to grid.

31 To Pascal Wehrlein Safety Car in this lap Pascal. We need to prepare for the restart.

31 From Pascal Wehrlein No you are joking.

31 To Pascal Wehrlein I’m not joking mate you’re going to have to try.

31 From Pascal Wehrlein That’s crazy. That’s crazy.

31 From Lewis Hamilton The track is no different.

31 From Max Verstappen I’m ready to race. It’s maybe a little bit worse than before but we can race.

31 To Max Verstappen OK, understood.

32 To Lewis Hamilton Verstappen now car behind.

32 To Max Verstappen Get in there Maxie.

33 To Lewis Hamilton So Verstappen passed Nico on the outside of turn three towards turn four.

33 To Daniel Ricciardo OK Daniel for info Verstappen found good grip on the outside of turn three.

35 To Esteban Gutierrez You’re getting closer to Button, come on.

35 To Kevin Magnussen Talk to us about the conditions, Kev.

35 From Kevin Magnussen Just leave me alone for a bit.

35 From Jenson Button Any news?

35 To Jenson Button Jenson, Massa’s pace is OK, but he’s in clear air. Inter doesn’t really look faster at the moment, just clear air.

35 From Jenson Button I think we’ve got to try it, I’m really struggling with visibility.

35 To Jenson Button Copy. Jenson stay out once past.

35 From Jenson Button Too late, you’re too late, I’m in the pits.

35 To Jenson Button Copy Jenson we’re ready, launch map on. Tyre switch to inter.

37 To Sergio Perez Massa is two seconds slower than you on inters.

37 To Nico Rosberg Verstappen running even wider than that. Try a higher gear in turn nine for more mid speed.

38 To Nico Rosberg So expecting rain to ease for the moment but then it will get stronger later.

38 From Jenson Button Wow. Struggling on both tyres. Just can’t get the tyres working.

38 To Jenson Button Copy Jenson. Pace is OK, matching wet runners.

38 From Pascal Wehrlein Guys I have so much aquaplaning.

39 To Pascal Wehrlein Pascal just need to stick with it, you’re on the right tyre.

39 From Lewis Hamilton It’s taken a lot out of the tyres, I think.

39 To Lewis Hamilton Copy that Lewis, just keep them as cool as possible.

39 To Max Verstappen OK well held Max, well held.

39 From Max Verstappen Yeah, heartbeat went a bit higher there.

40 To Daniel Ricciardo OK Daniel watch for the apex kerb line turn 14. Verstappen touched it and nearly shunted.

41 To Daniel Ricciardo OK Daniel box this lap, please, box this lap.

41 To Sergio Perez Checo we expect heavier rain in five minutes.

42 From Jenson Button Oversteer is really bad turn three, turn five, obviously the last corner.

42 To Max Verstappen How are conditions Max? What do you think to inters, for info?

42 From Max Verstappen Just tricky in the last sector.

42 To Max Verstappen OK.

42 From Max Verstappen I’m struggling a bit more with grip now on those tyres.

42 To Max Verstappen For info lap times are the same as Lewis and three-tenths faster than Nico last time around.

43 To Jenson Button Jenson other cars starting to pit for inters now.

43 From Fernando Alonso I think the Ferrari put me off the track, quite clearly. Very clear.

44 To Esteban Gutierrez We are trying to fix it. Driver default Charlie 12.

45 From Esteban Ocon He pushed me off the track.

45 To Nico Rosberg Pick pace up now please, pick pace up now. Got a good opportunity to get Verstappen out of your window.

45 From Jenson Button Ooh, that was a bit scary.

45 To Jenson Button Copy, Jenson, is the car all OK?

45 From Jenson Button Well, not sure what you mean by ‘OK’. I didn’t hit anything, no, but I think the rivers are getting a bit worse up in the last corner and my tyres are getting older so really struggling with aquaplaning. I think we’re going to have to come in and put wets on. Aquaplaning’s really bad.

45 To Jenson Button Jenson other cars are still going to inter.

45 From Jenson Button I don’t care. I cannot drive through the last few corners with this tyre.

47 From Lewis Hamilton Pretty sure it’s raining more.

47 To Lewis Hamilton We concur, Lewis, we’re keeping an eye on the lap times.

47 From Lewis Hamilton Pace still OK?

47 To Lewis Hamilton Yeah pace is good at the moment. Nico had a half-spin exit 12, through 13. Rears spun up. Just exercise caution.

47 To Nico Rosberg So Nico expecting to stay out covering rain. Expecting the rain to increase shortly. Still got a really good opportunity here, Nico, doing a really good job.

47 From Esteban Gutierrez It’s going on power when I brake.

47 To Esteban Gutierrez Understood, we are looking into it.

48 From Esteban Gutierrez OK something is really wrong.

48 To Esteban Gutierrez We are looking at it.

48 From Esteban Gutierrez Fix this [censored by FOM] problem.

48 To Esteban Gutierrez Come on Mariachi, try to stay calm, we are trying to do our best…

48 From Esteban Gutierrez Yeah but it is going crazy the car in the corners.

48 To Esteban Gutierrez I understand.

48 From Felipe Nasr It’s raining more.

50 From Lewis Hamilton I had a bit of an aquaplaning moment just now. These tyres are getting low.

50 From Nico Hulkenberg At least it’ll be good for the front, no? Give them a little breather, a break.

51 From Jenson Button Yeah seriously the car is just not working guys. I’ve not suddenly forgotten how to drive in the wet. It just comes from qualifying, the car’s the same.

51 To Jenson Button So Jenson, Massa is in the pit entry. The pit entry is blocked by Massa. You need to keep to the right as you pass pit entry.

51 From Jenson Button Yeah the aquaplaning’s just getting worse and worse through the race so it’s going to happen.

51 From Felipe Massa Guys it’s finished.

51 To Felipe Massa Yep OK. We see. You OK?

51 From Felipe Massa Yeah OK. Thank you anyway.

51 To Felipe Massa OK thanks Felipe. So it’s a Safety Car.

51 From Sebastian Vettel Rain seems to get stronger again. And the aquaplaning in 13, 14 did get worse last couple of laps.

51 To Sebastian Vettel Copy that. For info as I told you we don’t think the inters are doing many laps so this is the right tyre now.

52 From Nico Hulkenberg They need to clean up well. There is a lot of debris.

52 From Daniel Ricciardo Just keep me posted if the rain gets heavier. The rivers are starting to come a bit more.

52 To Daniel Ricciardo OK understood.

52 From Fernando Alonso The mirrors are useless so tell me cars that will overtake me, please.

52 To Fernando Alonso So it will be Magnussen and Gutierrez.

53 From Lewis Hamilton Don’t know why but the Safety Car is going very slow. Can’t keep temps up, they’re going too slow.

53 To Lewis Hamilton OK copy Lewis I think they’re still trying to clear that debris so they’re just keeping the pace down.

53 From Lewis Hamilton What’s the weather forecast.

53 To Lewis Hamilton We’re just expecting it to stay at this level of rain. Massa was kerb on the inside of turn 14, touched kerb.

53 From Nico Rosberg More water now there’s more water than last time ’round.

53 To Nico Rosberg Copy that.

53 From Nico Rosberg How many more crashes do they want to see? There’s just massive aquaplaning on that straight. Especially with inters, it’s not possible to drive there.

54 From Daniel Ricciardo What’s the life on these [full wets], how old are they?

54 To Daniel Ricciardo These have done eight laps but all were behind the Safety Car. So they’re pretty fresh, mate.

54 From Lewis Hamilton Tyres have lost all temperature.

54 To Lewis Hamilton Copy that Lewis. They will come back once we get a bit more pace into the car. Get those brakes up to temp.

54 From Lewis Hamilton The Safety Car driver needs to speed up, man, this is so slow.

54 To Max Verstappen Max, what tyre would you prefer to be on at this stage, mate?

54 From Max Verstappen One hundred percent the [full wet].

54 To Max Verstappen Copy.

54 From Max Verstappen But then we are dropped back in traffic and then you are [censored by FOM] slow.

54 To Max Verstappen Yeah but how much of an impression do you think you can make on an inter now?

54 From Max Verstappen It’s all in the last sector. It was the same before. Just no grip there. You lose all the time you gain before that.

54 To Max Verstappen So basically do you think you can get through a train of traffic on a full wet?

54 From Max Verstappen Pace is there. I can drive at least different lines. Here I’m just fighting the car.

54 From Max Verstappen Ah mate it’s like a boat in the last sector, I can’t do anything.

54 To Max Verstappen Do you want to pit for full wet Max?

54 From Max Verstappen We are waiting for a crash to happen like this.

54 To Max Verstappen OK understood.

55 From Jenson Button Yeah you know just past the pit entry we’re not even full throttle. Where Kvyat had his problem. It’s a lot of aquaplaning there.

57 From Pascal Wehrlein OK Pascal we can find lap time being a little less aggressive into turn 12. Move your braking point earlier.

57 From Felipe Nasr I can’t see [censored by FOM].

57 To Felipe Nasr Keep focused, Felipe. P6 at the moment.

58 From Fernando Alonso Sorry guys. I could not see anything.

58 To Fernando Alonso Yeah no problem. Pace is very strong. We can get back to the points.

59 To Daniel Ricciardo OK so a reminder outside of turn three grip looks good. Verstappen just drove around Bottas around the outside of turn three. Verstappen is the next car behind you.

59 To Esteban Ocon OK good lap time. We’re P8 at the moment. Let’s keep pushing.

60 From Jenson Button Basically it’s the same car as yesterday, it’s just wet now.

60 To Jenson Button Pressure just starting to recover now, let’s see if the grip improves.

61 From Felipe Nasr I cannot hold him.

61 To Felipe Nasr No worries, Felipe. Position is still very good. Focus on the race.

61 To Esteban Gutierrez Slow down, slow down and box.

61 From Esteban Gutierrez What happened? [Censored by FOM] hell.

61 To Esteban Gutierrez Sorry man. Really unbelievable. Button behind is approaching you. OK Button is behind you, let him go. We need to retire the car. So box, Esteban box.

62 To Esteban Gutierrez OK we need to stop in pit box and there is an emergency situation so you need to jump out. Please tell me if you understand what I said.

62 From Esteban Gutierrez Copy.

62 To Max Verstappen Well done mate. The next one is Hulkenberg.

63 To Max Verstappen You and Lewis are the fastest cars on track.

64 To Sergio Perez Checo forecast is getting better but it’s still raining in the pit lane so we still think wet to the end.

65 To Carlos Sainz Jnr OK you are [unclear] now. Vettel will try to pass you in these laps. Use the overtake.

65 To Daniel Ricciardo The level of rain in the pit lane has reduced slightly.

65 From Pascal Wehrlein Magnussen pushed me off the track.

66 To Nico Rosberg So six laps remaining, possible more rain in a couple of laps.

67 From Sebastian Vettel He pushed me off the track. I was a little bit ahead with my nose and he just pushed me off the track.

68 To Esteban Ocon Use overtake button. We also need to improve turn 11. Turn six as well. Use overtake every lap.
