    Engineer: Yeah, unlucky, mate.

    Sergey SIROTKIN: Yeah, how much were we off? Because for sure I lost quite a lot with the Ferrari car in the last two corners. And obviously the next lap was nowhere. Starting the lap right behind the Ferrari.

    Engineer: Yeah, copy that. Let's have a chat back in the garage.

21. Sergio PEREZForce India15:23:33

    Engineer: I'm afraid we are out. Checker, we're not sure if it's going to rain anymore at any stage in that session, so we've got thunder and lightning here and we're expecting more rain at any session, so that's why we were out as soon as possible on the dry.

    Sergio PEREZ: We were always going to be out with that strategy. We really needed the last lap.

22. Pierre GASLYToro Rosso15:23:55

    Pierre GASLY: I don't feel...

29. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull15:29:46

30. Sebastian VETTELFerrari15:30:22

    Engineer: He's down here.

    Sebastian VETTEL: Yeah, last corner is aquaplaning.

    Engineer: Okay, if he's unsafe, let her know to box. Wet in turn 11, very slippery.

35. Nico HULKENBERGRenault15:35:12

    Engineer: Okay, this lab is not going well.

36. Fernando ALONSOMcLaren15:37:11

    Engineer: Fernando, do you think we should do a new set of inters or wets? New inters or wets?

    Fernando ALONSO: I think we should go to the garage and see the conditions, you know, with the wets we can go out, but if we are 25 seconds slower, it's just running for nothing, we need to improve the P11.

    Engineer: Ok Fernando, if we did that we would just have time, it would be only for one time lap at the end, it would be one at the end. I

    Fernando ALONSO: don't know mate, put whatever tyre you want, you know, the last sector is impossible, so even if you put a rocket ship we will be 11th.

    Engineer: Ok, we'll stop, we'll stop.

37. Romain GROSJEANHaas15:38:56

    Engineer: We believe it's going to keep raining. We don't see an improvement in conditions this session, okay?

38. Fernando ALONSOMcLaren15:39:46

    Engineer: So we've seen someone do a 28.7 in the last sector, so there is a possibility here. Yes, and 9 seconds worse in the second sector. I saw the TV as well.

39. Daniel RICCIARDORed Bull15:42:31

    Engineer: Unfortunately we ended P12, you did go quicker than you entered on that last lap by half a second But yeah, P12 for us mate, that's it

40. Nico HULKENBERGRenault15:45:14

    Engineer: OK Nico, the situation is that we are P13, I'm afraid that's it. OK Nico, we had a problem with the fuel bowser, so we weren't able to put the fuel in the car unfortunately. That's what's effectively put us out.

41. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes15:47:49

    Engineer: It's extremely tight to do a three and a two

42. Brendon HARTLEYToro Rosso15:48:26

    Engineer: It's getting slightly worse getting slightly worse for the next five minutes

43. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull15:50:08

    Engineer: How are conditions, Max?

    Max VERSTAPPEN: Yeah, for extreme setting, because especially now you'll see in the last sector it's gonna be really wet. Okay, copy.

44. Pierre GASLYToro Rosso15:52:06

    Engineer: Mode 1 available. Be smoother with the steering.

45. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas15:52:58

    Kevin MAGNUSSEN: Sector 1, there's too much standing water, guys. It's dangerous.

    Engineer: Ok, understood. We are reporting that.

46. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes15:53:16

    Lewis HAMILTON: Very extreme out here. There's no grip out here.

    Engineer: So the range should be diminishing from here on in.

47. Carlos SAINZRenault15:53:29

    Carlos SAINZ: Yeah, I have very poor visibility with the gas link, so I'm making a lot of mistakes.

    Engineer: OK, understood.
