Lewis HAMILTONI'm going to lie down on the ground.

EngineerNow we're still reading 47 degrees so no real change in track temp. I think it's going to plateau off here and then reduce towards the end of the road.

EngineerAt the end of the formation lap, we will go to minus two, so four clicks rearwards at the end of the formation lap, okay? It's a bit unusual, but four rearwards. Your normal running position will be zero on that.

EngineerOK, so in terms of tyres, everybody from 10 till 20 is on super soft, except for Stroll on ultra soft and Ericsson on soft.

Kimi RAIKKONENI think the Red Bull hit me on the rear.

EngineerWe check, we check.

Kimi RAIKKONENIn the corner where he passed me.

Lewis HAMILTONLittle debris down at 10-3

Engineermax when you can fuel 14 position 10 fuel 1 4 position 10 and straight into race mode now it's

Max VERSTAPPENeverything all right seems like I'm a bit of real locking

Engineerokay so push your brake balance towards

Kimi RAIKKONENFull off with debris in turn 3, I'll drive over sir.

Lewis HAMILTONIt's just a high.

EngineerOk Fernando, we need to pull out to the right hand side, pull out to the right hand side please.

Fernando ALONSOMaybe think about the strategy or something, you know. I will not be 71 laps here.

EngineerI've lost the power, I've lost power, no power Copy Niko, box, box, box Scenario 12 Niko, Scenario 12 Try to stop Yeah, it's game over Stop the car, go to P1 and then P0 please Niko, you've got fire at the back of the car

EngineerDiff high-speed 7 and we'd like to, we've asked Lewis to increase the pace just so that you can pull a gap to Verstappen. Very

Valtteri BOTTASsmall pace.

EngineerCopy that.

EngineerI can't see my gear

Valtteri BOTTASbut it's gone.

EngineerOK, we've lost hydraulic pressure, so just pull off where you can Valtteri. Fuck! And no shifting.

Engineerdisplay 10 position 1 display 10 position 1 once you've got that back to display 8

EngineerLet's look after the rear left tyre, as you were please mate, it was a good job on the first stint.

EngineerVery good lap, Ricciardo 8.2, Hamilton 8.6

EngineerI think you're close enough, but I think the system has gone down for the circuit. So just watch for flags. If you see flags, you can do it.

EngineerGood move mate

Lewis HAMILTONI haven't got much time left, I've got no time left in size.

EngineerLewis it's James, I understand, we're still with you mate, it's my mistake but give us what you can. There will be opportunities later, as much as you can now please for the next 10 laps. I

Lewis HAMILTONcan hear you guys.

EngineerOK, so if you look at your dash, you'll see left rear is a little bit on the warm side. This tyre can't take it, but just watch that left rear tyre.

Lewis HAMILTONI'm fourth now.

EngineerAFM Lewis, yeah, entirely on us that problem, so we just need to battle the cars ahead, sorry about that mate. And you go back to strap mode 3, strap mode 3.

Carlos SAINZI have a huge rear left blister, I don't know why, a lot of vibrations.

EngineerSo use your tools to limit the rear locking.

EngineerI

Lewis HAMILTONfeel like I'm running out of power.

EngineerOkay, copy.

Daniel RICCIARDOLeft rear's got a big van down the middle.

EngineerUnderstood, we are aware.

EngineerLet's just look after these tyres in the traffic Max

EngineerI

Lewis HAMILTONdon't get it guys. I'm not going to be able to pass these guys. Just throwing away a win.

Lewis HAMILTONI've got blister in two

EngineerRed Bull and Mercedes have been blistered, we don't, but we need to take care about our tyres, especially the rear.

EngineerLast time to get blisters, it's not all over yet, you just need to be sensible now, we'll make the most of it later.

EngineerWe need a bit of lift Kimi for tyres, a bit of lift.

EngineerFernando in P14, also doing 109.3. You should get some clear air, you should get some clear air. Lap times, Grosjean is doing 1.10. I think that's a poor lap for him. Grosjean doing 109.3. Grosjean is in P6, Fernando in P14, also doing 109.3.

Pierre GASLYI didn't get any light from the steering.

EngineerYes, we know.

Engineer8.1. Räikkönen's last lap, 8.5. Heel up, 8.1.

Lewis HAMILTONNo blistering.

EngineerOK, roger.

Lewis HAMILTONHe's got no blistering. But I have blistering. I've got to stay on it now to have any chance of getting past this guy.

Lewis HAMILTONI've got to stay on it now to have any chance of getting past this guy

Lewis HAMILTONMy rear tyre is de-laminated more and more.

EngineerCopy.

Lewis HAMILTONI don't know what to say to you guys, these rears are not going to last.

EngineerLosing gear sync understood fail to fail Daniel we have got an issue fail to fail we're gonna have to retire Daniel retire if you can't pull over at turn one please pull over at turn one if you can't find a gap yeah I'll tell you about it later but we've got some issues at the rear end of the car sorry about that mate

Brendon HARTLEYWhat do you want me to do? I missed the pre-entry. Something's happened on the rear.

EngineerTry to come back. Try to come back if the car is safe. Stay off the racing line. Stay off the racing line.

Max VERSTAPPENHow are their tyres compared to mine?

EngineerThey're okay on tyres at the moment, Max. We are happy with yours.

EngineerCheco, next lap at turn 3, we will switch cars at turn 3, next lap.

EngineerIf he

Esteban OCONdoesn't get Magnusson, then I've got the place back?

EngineerThat's correct, yes. If he doesn't get Magnusson, you get the place back.

EngineerSo Kimi, we have no concern anymore. You are free to push. You are free to push. Verstappen has blistered and he is concerned.

Lewis HAMILTONlost power okay

EngineerStoffel, we are concerned about the gear shifts, we're concerned about the gear shifts, so we'll box this lap, we have to retire the car.

EngineerWe will be switching cars next lap into turn 3 with Esteban.

Sergio PEREZWhy man? Why is that? Do you think that's fair?

EngineerCheco, we will be doing that. We will be switching into turn 3 next time. In turn 3 we will be switching with Esteban. He's 5 seconds behind Stroll.
