3. Kimi RAIKKONENFerrari14:08:31

8. Stoffel VANDOORNEMcLaren14:18:01

   Engineer: We activated we activated the throttle failsafe again into turn 14 on the out lap Just be careful braking too hard against the throttle

   Stoffel VANDOORNE: Yeah, I felt that

9. Daniel RICCIARDORed Bull14:21:20

   Engineer: Do you want another lap, question?

   Daniel RICCIARDO: I'll have a think, I'm not happy with the pedal map so it would be just to try that but here let me have a think.

   Engineer: Just think about if you want to sort any of your switches out for the next lap, looks like maybe traction is getting a bit worse but if there's anything you want to tidy up, we've got plenty of time. Okay,

   Daniel RICCIARDO: and we're okay for mileage to do another? Yeah,

   Engineer: no problem.

   Daniel RICCIARDO: Okay, I'll start the lap at least. Okay.

10. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:30:27

    Engineer: If you want to take one more you can.

    Lewis HAMILTON: Nothing left in his tyres.

    Engineer: OK, copy.

11. Brendon HARTLEYToro Rosso14:30:53

    Engineer: The

    Brendon HARTLEY: car wasn't too bad actually, I still struggled a bit with the rear of the last sector.

12. Lance STROLLWilliams14:34:17

    Lance STROLL: Now I spot Tyre's finito

    Engineer: You ok?

    Lance STROLL: Yeah, just lost the rear

13. Sergey SIROTKINWilliams14:34:40

    Sergey SIROTKIN: Please be very careful with traffic. I lost my right mirror.

    Engineer: Copy that.

14. Romain GROSJEANHaas14:35:42

    Engineer: Okay, we'll take as much temp as you can get into 14 yeah, I've got traffic mate. I've got traffic sir

15. Carlos SAINZRenault14:38:23

    Carlos SAINZ: Yeah, very poor drivability that run. I don't know what happened the exit of turn 12. I had very poor drivability.

    Engineer: Okay, understood. We're looking into it.

16. Stoffel VANDOORNEMcLaren14:41:28

    Audio only, no transcript available for this message.

17. Stoffel VANDOORNEMcLaren14:41:38

    Stoffel VANDOORNE: Do we need another lap or not? For me, the balance is quite clear.

    Engineer: Okay, in that case, happy to box this lap. Happy to box this lap. Let's try and give Fernando a tow, exit turn 12. Fernando is currently 17 seconds behind.

18. Marcus ERICSSONSauber14:46:18

    Engineer: Ok, so compared to Charles we're losing braking turn 6, just a little bit, maybe half a tenth. But our biggest loss is the last corner, so basically it's coming from the entry. You lose a bit the apex there and you lose all on the exit. It's quite a bit more than one tenth on exit there.

19. Brendon HARTLEYToro Rosso14:51:56

23. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull15:03:45

    Engineer: Fromming update, when you can, Max.

    Daniel RICCIARDO: At the moment, it's okay. It's a little bit greasy, but If it keeps going like this, it'll get Quite a bit worse, but it's hanging on

    Engineer: Okay, understood. But don't take any risks, stay out for now As soon as you think it gets too bad, let us know at Moorbox and we are not going out again We're just going to finish the run
