EngineerThen just talk about the track tumble just continues to drop

EngineerOK, so the track temperature is remaining very similar to what we talked about in the garage. Obviously when the sun comes out it gets a bit hotter, then the sun goes away and it cools down a bit, but on average it's maybe 5 or 6 degrees cooler than it was in P2. We don't expect the cloud level to reduce.

EngineerI'll of course keep you updated with wind direction and intensity, how that's moving around through the race, but I'll have to use your flags to your advantage around the track to try and keep an eye on things yourself, okay?

EngineerSo at the moment, there's still no rain about. I mean, these clouds will continue coming over in terms of track temperature.

Sebastian VETTELOkay, I have nose damage, nose damage

EngineerI got badly hit by behind Again F***

Romain GROSJEANsake

Lewis HAMILTONDoesn't hit battery.

EngineerUnsure at the moment, there's a little bit of carnage at turn 1.

Sebastian VETTELWhy is Troll going so slow?

EngineerYeah, if he has an issue

Sebastian VETTELHave a look. I think he just wants to back me up

EngineerHe

Sebastian VETTELdoesn't have an issue

Pierre GASLYwas on the inside, I was on the inside, S1mple didn't see me, he turned and I didn't have any water.

EngineerAnd Vettel is under investigation for the collision. Yeah, copy that, Valtteri.

EngineerIt has one big chunk, a big piece on the apex of 3, and something on the apex curve of 4. Understood.

Max VERSTAPPENThere are still little carbon bits they didn't clean it up. It's on the kerb

EngineerOkay, thank you We've passed that on max

EngineerOkay full InfoMax wind direction, still similar although it doesn't look as strong, does not look as strong, but the direction is similar.

EngineerRemember, use of the overtake is penalising around here Max, so just be sensible.

EngineerNice job Stof. Nice job. Let's go now. Let's go

EngineerWe need to clear Ericsson in front as quick as possible. He's too slow.

EngineerJust for info, Vettel has got a five second penalty, but he is on soft tyres, he may go to the end.

Romain GROSJEANMan, he completely forced me off the track again.

EngineerYou must

Romain GROSJEANgive me a position.

EngineerWe're not going to get the answer we want, so let's just overtake him on the track. You can do it.

EngineerAnd Grosjean next.

EngineerNice job, Nico. Let's get after that Haas. He looks like he's in some trouble.

Kimi RAIKKONENCan we make the downshift some other and

Engineermultifunction gx6 multifunction gx6

EngineerWorst tailwinds are 3, 12 and 14.

EngineerOkay, so just for info, Vettel, who pitted on the first lap for Softs, he is in P7, he's around 20 seconds behind you.

EngineerMate, I just got pushed out of the track from Bottas again. Don't know what's going on. We saw it on TV, mate. We saw it.

Engineerand Fernando latest weather update possible rain in 20 minutes so Fernando Saints who's in fifth is still on our pit window so it's maximum pace to the end here still plenty to play for

Engineerokay just for info there is a bit of weather over the hills we are watching it so just for info there is a bit of weather around

EngineerAnd Fernando, is there any damage? Is there any possible damage?

Fernando ALONSOI don't know, I touched with Vettel, but I hope he has damage, stupid move, love

Engineerone.

Charles LECLERCThere is something wrong with the tyres.

Max VERSTAPPENThe stars have big vibrations.

EngineerGrosjean last lap 1.38.0 you can do that pace he has a five second time penalty as well Stoffel Grosjean's just been given a five second time penalty and he is six seconds up the road

EngineerOK, so box, box, box, box.

Romain GROSJEANjoke.

Fernando ALONSOMate, I have no brakes, no tires. We are out of the points. I mean, we try to do whatever, but I don't care too much about Georgia.

EngineerI'm boxed, Sebastian boxed, Bottas came in, we boxed for quali. We

Sebastian VETTELstill come out behind him then.

EngineerHe has boxed, he's in the pit lane now, so boxed now for quali. We have three P-stop and a penalty, five seconds.

EngineerHow's the vibration max? How's the vibration? Yeah, it's okay, but still annoying

EngineerGood lap Kimi, Ricciardo may have a problem in front of you, so keep up pushing.

Carlos SAINZCan you check if the wind has changed? I have headwind into 3.
