British Grand Prix2018 · Race team radio

EngineerAny car issues? No car issues. Balance I think is pretty good. I think the track is in quite good shape.

Lewis HAMILTONRicky, the car was into like 12 and 13, the car was a little bit twitchy.

EngineerAnd just remember the wind Lewis will probably be tailwind into 4, it'll be crosswind in 3.

Pierre GASLYYeah, just in the race, every 15 laps, if you can remind me, just a drink, because I tend to forget. Yes, I will. Yes, I will.

EngineerI think

Lewis HAMILTONmy car's broken, man.

EngineerRight rear is damaged man. OK copy, we'll look into it. Tire pressures look fine but we're looking into it.

Kimi RAIKKONENIt's my front wing, okay?

EngineerAll okay on our side, Kimi, all okay on our side, engine free when you can.

Lewis HAMILTONI've lost half my floor I'm sure.

EngineerThere may be some damage but we can't see much on the data at the moment, we're still reviewing.

EngineerLewis, you're doing a great job. Let's just keep battling up. Let's get some points.

Lewis HAMILTONI'm really sorry, guys.

EngineerNo stress, Lewis. Just head down. Let's get on with it, mate. Don't worry about it.

Lewis HAMILTONThe rear end is damaged.

EngineerWe can still do something with it today, mate.

Sergio PEREZYeah, someone hit me

EngineerDo you have any damage? Do you have any damage? How is the front wing? Did you hit tires?

Sergio PEREZNo, I think it's okay

EngineerWoo-hoo!

Max VERSTAPPENlisten listen I am break my wire went off it's okay now I think but it went off

Engineerokay standby all

Max VERSTAPPENgood with the brakes good

Engineerfor now yes

Daniel RICCIARDOBoth cars completed moves off track

EngineerUnderstood Daniel. Ok Daniel, sir for info, Turn 3 incident is under investigation. I'll let you know what happens

Daniel RICCIARDOAt Turn 9 I'm pretty sure he went off to get the move complete

Lewis HAMILTONThe rear's moving around a lot, so I'm not sure how long it'll go.

EngineerOK, copy. We're monitoring. All the overloads look OK.

Kimi RAIKKONENYeah, but somehow I need to get in the free air.

EngineerKimi, we got a 10 second penalty for the collision, so we need to push to recover the penalty.

Kimi RAIKKONENYeah, but I cannot care, every time I get close I lose completely the front end, so we need to somehow figure out to get the free air. Let's try to be aggressive. Flamby, is there any way to get rid of it?

EngineerUnderstood Kimi, we are trying, of course the 10 second penalty is an issue.

Kimi RAIKKONENYeah, but it's going to be a UFO issue if we don't clear. Because I cannot use my... So I am not allowed to think anymore, okay.

EngineerKimi, we just need a few laps to clear the traffic and then we do what we want.

Kimi RAIKKONENYeah, you do what you want.

Max VERSTAPPENIs the wind changing and between six and seven I had a bit of a rear instability

EngineerConfirm can confirm that so yes confirm tailwind as you come through six and into seven

EngineerOther cars look to be struggling, so you're doing a great job.

EngineerAnd Fernando, good work mate, other cars still haven't stopped yet, so it's still plan A, maximum pace, plan A, maximum pace still.

EngineerSo all you've got this lap now all you've got this lap science is boxed behind

EngineerSpark 4 There's a problem Stop the car, stop the car Switch off, switch off

Charles LECLERCCopy Anyway, I get out

Lewis HAMILTONI didn't see that you allowed until the last minute, but I left it.

EngineerCopy that Lewis, no worries.

Kimi RAIKKONENRemind me if I have a DRS in the first course.

EngineerAlright, yeah.

Kimi RAIKKONENAnd they're closing.

Lewis HAMILTONTides are still good.

EngineerCopy copy

EngineerLewis knows you're just behind him and should let you through.

Max VERSTAPPENGive me the wing behind

EngineerHe's behind Daniel.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, but please he's

Engineer1.4 seconds behind him

Lewis HAMILTONGuys I'm starting to drop a little bit. I can stretch it.

EngineerCopy that's what we want

EngineerSo your first didn't wear was good. Vettel ran out of front left tyre.

EngineerBox, box, box, box, box, box, box, box.

EngineerCrucial moment of the race, give everything, give everything for race craft.

EngineerOK Marcus, we are racing Grosjean, so keep pushing.

EngineerOkay, use everything, use K1, big push.

EngineerSo Magnussen is in the pit lane now. He will be close and exit with you.

Carlos SAINZOh man, if we are racing Magnussen, why didn't you tell me earlier? He overtook us.

EngineerSo Magnussen on medium, he might have warm-up issues.

Lewis HAMILTONWhat's my position?

EngineerSo currently P6, but it's all to play for

EngineerAnd Lewis, you are the fastest man on track.

Nico HULKENBERGWhat's going on behind? Feel the picture?

EngineerOK, so you've got Ocon, then Alonso, then Magnussen, all very close together.

Nico HULKENBERGI guess everybody fighting for position.

EngineerYeah, Magnussen and Alonso are mixing it up. Ocon is more focusing on you right now.

Max VERSTAPPENAh, he has to move, mate.

EngineerYep, he will.

EngineerYou're doing a really good job, just keep the pressure on Vettel.

Kimi RAIKKONENI went over the safety car line, in front of the William, but he is now in front of me.

EngineerAlright.

Lewis HAMILTONThere's no way I'm going to be

Engineerable

Lewis HAMILTONto compete with new tyres.

EngineerLewis you are the fastest guy by miles so don't give up mate, it's all there.

EngineerSo Daniel, info is we were pre-empting a rake and then stopped, he was struggling so we were stopping before him, we were very unlucky with our safety car timing

Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, some warning would have been nice though because the tyres are fine

EngineerYep, understood

EngineerLapet cars may now overtake.

Sebastian VETTELTell the safety car to slow down then.

EngineerUnderstood.

EngineerHow

Lewis HAMILTONmany laps? These guys got their first tyres but they're very hard to get past. So

Engineerthat tyre age isn't massive Lewis and your pace was really good and Degg very very good so I think it's all to play for.

Lewis HAMILTONYeah on the last tyre but this one, this one wasn't feeling very good at the end.

EngineerIt looks pretty good to me from the numbers mate. OK.

EngineerIt's just turning to be made Are you okay, man? Yeah, but yeah, we see it. We see it man. It's not nice. Yeah Okay, man, okay, okay, just remember the p1 the p0, okay

EngineerAre you okay, Carlos?

Carlos SAINZYeah, got an accident with Christian. Yeah.

EngineerOkay, understood.

Carlos SAINZYeah, I was in front when he understood into me for sure.

EngineerOkay, understood.

EngineerIf you lose 10 laps remaining I'm going to leave you to it.

Max VERSTAPPENDo I have damage?

EngineerWe will get back to you Matt.

Max VERSTAPPENWhy am I clipping so much? Or is it already the DRS activated?

EngineerStay in your charge position Max, stay in your charge position.

EngineerWell done, Seb. Head down, head down. Vai, Seb. Vai, Seb. Grande.

Max VERSTAPPENMax, confirm that

Engineerwas

Max VERSTAPPENa

EngineerBBW foe. I

Max VERSTAPPENcan't do anything.

EngineerCan you drive? Push.

Max VERSTAPPENI'm stuck in first gear, man.

EngineerCan you upshift?

Max VERSTAPPENNo.

EngineerIt's all pretty tasty ahead, so let's stick in touching distance, still a bit of action ahead, keep pushing mate.

EngineerSuper job, Kimi, super job, not over, it's not over. Point catch, Hamilton, my friend.

EngineerOkay Max, find a gap please and retire the car. Find a gap and retire the car.

Max VERSTAPPENOh man, for f**ks sake.

Engineerthree laps to go we are p11 in front we have

Engineerokay two laps ago two laps your battery is full

Fernando ALONSOWhat Magnussen does when you try to overtake, pushing you off the track.

EngineerOK, mate, completely understand. Well, you'll get another shot at it.

Fernando ALONSOYeah, but we will both crash, you know, and I don't want or I don't wish. What I see from Magnussen, I never saw in my life. He pushed me wide into the 7, 10-11 and 10-12.

EngineerUnderstood, Fernando. We have reported it to the FIA. They are looking at it now. Head down.

Fernando ALONSOWhen you think with Magnussen, because if they decide after the race, the decision, the race situation, change it now.

EngineerUnderstood, Fernando. We're chasing them up now.

Fernando ALONSO10-7. It was quite clear, you know. I had to go on the grass. It's ridiculous, the FIA. Ridiculous.

Engineerreports of debris turn three
