EngineerValtteri's got a bit of coolant from one of the classic cars in front of his grid box so just if you're straight it'll straddle it but obviously it's just in this center line it's a very thin patch but just be mindful of that step.

EngineerOkay, Fernando, tyre info. Option starters are Gasly and Hartley. Backup starters are Sorokin. Everybody else starts on Prime.

EngineerCrossed. Yeah, copy, yeah okay. I think I had a puncture, I think I had a puncture.

EngineerAre you okay, Brandon? Are you okay?

Brendon HARTLEYYeah, I'm fine.

EngineerHe

Brendon HARTLEYjust ran me out of road.

EngineerThat was well controlled at the start.

Max VERSTAPPENNo, I couldn't squeeze it more. No,

Engineerthat's fine.

Stoffel VANDOORNEYeah, I ran over a lot of debris. I ran over a lot of debris. I don't know, I can't feel anything. Yeah, I think the tyre is flat, the tyre is flat, we need to pit.

EngineerCopy.

Nico HULKENBERGobviously don't have to tell you keep a good eye on the pressures it's

Engineera lot of debris there

Fernando ALONSOI will go close to the pit wall now, you have to check the left part of the front wheel. Siroc and Leclerc pushed me on the grass, so just to make sure this front wheel is okay.

EngineerI

Fernando ALONSOthink we touch wheel to wheel, but just to make sure.

EngineerOkay Fernando, from what we could see everything looks okay.

Sergio PEREZMan, what did Sainz did? She just took me off.

Carlos SAINZBut it hit me very hard.

EngineerOk, do you have any damage?

Carlos SAINZNo, he just closed on me the door.

Carlos SAINZI kept my light on the way.

Lewis HAMILTONI'm

Engineerhaving

Lewis HAMILTONdropouts of power guys

Sergio PEREZScience should be black flags, really.

EngineerUnderstood, Checo. Yep, copy that. Checo, it is under investigation. It is under investigation.

Sergio PEREZWhat they are investigating? Is it not clear? He's just running to me. I gave him enough space.

EngineerUnderstood. Yeah, understood, Checo. We'll come back to you on it. Just focus on the driving.

EngineerI'm quite a bit faster than him, but

Nico HULKENBERGthere's some fast on the straight

Nico HULKENBERGReally big held up here.

EngineerCopy that, Nico. Suggest SOC 8 for faster recharge and use of overtake.

EngineerOkay, we need to push Nico, we need to push.

EngineerBottas tires on the limit of overheating as well, so they're not holiday either

Daniel RICCIARDOOK, looks like Lewis is struggling a bit

EngineerOK understood, if he's vulnerable let's get him

EngineerOk mate, you are ahead of Hamilton

Daniel RICCIARDOCome on boys, watch good stuff

EngineerWe are on plan B. We are on plan B.

EngineerSo keep pushing Charles, keep pushing. And we box this lap, box, box. Big push.

EngineerCheck out that's good work. We need to make as much progress as quickly as possible. Cars are slipping out of our pit window

Nico HULKENBERGI think I better get to Georgia now.

EngineerJust keep pushing, still half a second quicker than the cars that have changed tyres.

EngineerAnd we are still faster than cars behind on plane.

EngineerStill unsafe to Räikkönen, one second.

Lewis HAMILTONThere's nothing I can do about that right now.

EngineerTraffic ahead, Van Dorm, Ericsson, Sirocchi

EngineerIf Max picks it up a little bit, you need to stick with him, keeping that tote. It will help you defend Hamilton if you've got a nice tote.

EngineerWhy

Lewis HAMILTONdid we pit so early?

EngineerSo let's see how the stop was brought early, see if we could sort this PU problem, it's helped at least a little bit.

Engineerand Fernando this pace is good you're gaining on the Force Indias and the Renaults in front we are still plan A still plan A

EngineerAnd Box, give me Box. We'll be very tight with Hamilton, very tight with Hamilton.

Kimi RAIKKONENOkay.

EngineerOkay, this is Strat 5, it's hammer time.

EngineerSo, box, box, box.

EngineerAnd box now, box now, Bottas in the pit.

EngineerI've non-stop losing the sync. Yep, understood man. You're doing good persevering with it. Your pace is still really good.

EngineerAnd Kimi, we are not concerned with the brake temperature, so ignore the alarm, ignore the alarm.

EngineerStoffel there's going to be a few blue flags over the next laps, there's going to be a few blue flags over the next laps as the lead cars come through. Magnussen will take these as well and he's struggled with blue flags so it could be an opportunity.

Fernando ALONSONo power, no cares

EngineerOk Fernando, we're checking it now, stand by

Fernando ALONSOIt's maybe the turbo

EngineerOk Fernando, scenario one please, scenario one, we need to retire but we'll return to the garage, we will return to the garage, sorry mate, gutted

EngineerOkay Fernando, we will stop on the marks please, stop on the marks, I'm really sorry mate.

EngineerStill doing excellent, excellent job.

Romain GROSJEANYeah, the shift is yours now?

EngineerYeah, a bit, maybe temp related.

EngineerOkay Stoffel, let's push now. Let's have best pace on this tyre, see what you can do. We're happy to stop again if we need to. I

Stoffel VANDOORNEfeel quite bored. I feel quite bored now.

EngineerBox now, Ramon, box now. OK. Mate, did you see what Ocon did to me? Yeah, yeah, we'll report it, understood.

EngineerWe've taken half a second out of Bottas this lap in the first two sectors.

EngineerGeorgia we are in the points now, P10 at the moment.

Stoffel VANDOORNEMy deployment is cutting so early!

EngineerWe're looking Stoffel, we're looking. I

Stoffel VANDOORNEhave zero power.

EngineerStoffel, it's an energy management problem, use overtake, use overtake.

EngineerThe guy in front a vicious with brakes we are fighting for the point catch him

EngineerOkay, we think the problem is fixed. We think the problem is fixed. Suggest no overtake. Are you sure it's fixed? No, Stoffel, we're not sure. We're not sure. Go back to using overtake. Go back to using overtake.

EngineerIt's a good pace Max, there are 16 laps to go so keep on it.

Romain GROSJEANWhy do we get into traffic so much?

EngineerStoffel, we think it's working correctly. You should not need overtake now. We think it's working correctly.

EngineerOK, so Reichenen is still five seconds behind. If you do want to turn the PU down it will be HPP7 to position 8. I'll leave that up to you. That's still live, don't need to try and get it spaced. That's what we like to hear mate, you go for it.

EngineerOkay Max, as bad as that was, we've not lost too much time to Bottas, gap to him is 4.4, 4.4, 10 laps remaining.

EngineerOkay, so battery is full. Hamilton is getting DRS now.

EngineerOK Niko, if possible we'd like to pick up the pace, we're coming under threat from Ocon who's right behind Carlos.

Nico HULKENBERGPlease leave me alone a bit, never mind. Not too much for you.

EngineerOkay, he took 4 tenths out of Ericsson, he took 4 tenths out of Ericsson, he's going to struggle once he gets blue flags, he's on back up from the safety car, he's on back up from the safety car.

Romain GROSJEANMan, there's no stability from the rear, everything OK? The inside wheel is always in the air, the stability is f***ing poor.

EngineerOK, understood.

EngineerAnd there's HBP 1, position 1, 1, position 1, that gives you everything on the overtake.

EngineerAnd four laps to go, bring it on.

EngineerOK, you should be cleared, traffic now to the end.

Daniel RICCIARDOOK, understood.

Sebastian VETTELTell them not to wave the checkered flag when it's

Engineernot

Sebastian VETTELdone yet one

Engineerlap one lap one more lap

Romain GROSJEANI don't know what's going on with the inside, but it's always India. I hope nothing's broken.

EngineerThat was nicely done. So, good job Valtteri, good job.

Valtteri BOTTASCopy that, we're into a slip quickly enough today.

EngineerYeah, copy that. That was a very good job in Turn 1-2 on the first lap Valtteri. Really good job there.

EngineerOk mate, that's it. Nice job. You did get your last two laps of both the fastest laps of the race. Ok, thanks guys.

Daniel RICCIARDOReally good effort. Well
