15. Daniel RICCIARDORed Bull16:27:16

    Engineer: Obviously there's a few drops around, you'll probably feel them or see them on your visor. I suggest getting stuck into the tyres, warm up may be a little bit more difficult now and the tyres are going to be pretty robust in these temperatures.

19. Romain GROSJEANHaas16:31:32

    Engineer: If everyone comes to the pit to put the new set, shall we do that as well? Right now your tires are warm, and if the weather gets worse, that would be worse, so let's just get the lap time in now. Yeah, we'll stay out. People are staying out, so you're good. Okay, you're good.

20. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas16:33:38
