EngineerOkay, so the car's around us on ultras, so Toro Rosso and Haas. The car ahead of us, Max, signs we'll start the race on soft.

EngineerFirst bit of info for you, the track is quite affected when the clouds come over, so it can go up and down by maybe 5 or 6 degrees, so the hottest it will be, as you said, might be 62, something like that, but it might get down to 55. You'll get a bit of an idea when you see the sun.

Daniel RICCIARDOOK.

EngineerI think you've got contact left front, please confirm.

Daniel RICCIARDOYes, yep, I don't know if there's damage.

Fernando ALONSOGrosjean overtook me on the green, but I was right on the delta, so I

Engineerdon't know.

Romain GROSJEANRight, Alonso is moving over the place.

EngineerOkay, understood, we'll report.

EngineerWe need a bit more of brake management, Kimi, and sorry for the drink. Is the drink, is it on now? Okay, I have no idea. Virtual safety car. Virtual safety car. Virtual safety car deployed. Stay out, stay out. Box or not? Stay out, stay out, stay out. Slow button on.

EngineerNo, no, Kimi, no. You will not have the drink.

Daniel RICCIARDO4th India pass me off track

EngineerOkay understood

Daniel RICCIARDOThere's no way he keeps that spot He has to give it back, it's f***ing compromising me

EngineerUnderstood, we have passed down to Charlie And we are looking into it Daniel, can you tell us where on track it was, or where off track? Yeah turn 6, he

Daniel RICCIARDOwas never making it

EngineerUnderstood, thank you

EngineerCheco, we have to give the position back to Ricciardo. We have to give the position back to Ricciardo now.

Sergio PEREZYes, I was pushed off, but OK.

EngineerUnderstood, understood. You were pushed off, understood.

Romain GROSJEANTower is very surface, so very deep. Man, this is borderline. If I don't open, it's a crash.

EngineerUnderstood, man. We're still in a good situation, ok? Still in a good situation.

EngineerOK, Daniel, nice job. Next one, Sainz.

EngineerOkay mate, so it does appear that it's all going to start kicking off, let's keep up that energy

EngineerOkay, this is all starting to happen now

EngineerAnother good lap Lewis, just keep them coming.

EngineerHow are the tyres Daniel, how are the tyres?

Daniel RICCIARDOThey've been pretty consistent, bit of dig on both axles, the front was certainly worse to start, but it's getting a bit better.

EngineerSo, Esteban, we need to try and push up to Van Dorn if we can. Push up to Van Dorn.

EngineerCheco, push up to Esteban, push up to Esteban, we may be A-5, we may be A-5

Sergio PEREZGo feet

Engineerjust remember that mode if you need it we can see being sensible but it is there to use it if you need it

EngineerAnd Lewis is just going to keep extending whilst we're seeing these lap times just keep it up

EngineerWe are on plan C, plan C.

EngineerNice job mate, good move.

Nico HULKENBERGThe balance is pretty crap.

EngineerIt won't be long now, just get your head up.

EngineerBox, box, box, box, we'll lose more with the back market traffic.

EngineerPierre, you are doing a good job. Keep going.

EngineerSo just race information, Lewis has just pitted, Vettel will be staying out for another 15-20 laps. He is still around your pit window and being held up in traffic.

EngineerStill gaining on Bottas. Nice job. We are faster than Hamilton. Keep your head down.

Pierre GASLYMy feet is a little moving in the cone.

EngineerOcon is holding up all the four cars that pitted behind him.

Fernando ALONSOOK.

EngineerFernando, if you can keep this pace up, this is our race right now. OK, Fernando, you're doing an amazing job. We've now cleared Grosjean. We've cleared Grosjean.

EngineerOk

Sebastian VETTELguys, I need your help now, I need two flags.

EngineerUnderstood.

EngineerOK Fernando, keep this up, doing a really amazing job. We're in the state now, whether if you or we see the tyre go, we'd call it.

Fernando ALONSOOK, it doesn't seem like Germany, so don't worry.

EngineerOK mate, that's good news, in which case keep this up. For your info, Ocon is still out, he's still holding up Sainz, Vettel is about to come through on Sainz and Ocon.

EngineerSo P9, P9, but the two McLarens need still to stop, so it's a potential P7.

Kevin MAGNUSSENWhere are we compared to the first McLaren?

EngineerWe are seven seconds behind Alonso, seven seconds behind Alonso, it's all fine, all fine, no worries.

Kevin MAGNUSSENIt's just when you say potential P7 it sounds like we are under threat.

EngineerWe are no threat, no threat, all fine. Thank you.

EngineerOK, Fernando, how many more do you think?

Fernando ALONSODifficult to guess, but maybe four or five.

EngineerOK, understood. We think that will work. We think that will work. Keep this up.

Fernando ALONSOWell, as long as we are faster than Ocon, OK, I guess. Mate,

Engineerwe are faster. We are faster. Keep this up.

Kimi RAIKKONENWell, I'm in the middle of the circuit, no more.

EngineerYeah, I'm a bit impatient at the pit stop, could have stayed out. Still a long way to go mate, let's keep pushing the boat on mediums.

EngineerYou have three cars of traffic between you and P2. But

Lewis HAMILTONif Vettel gets by, he's going to

Engineerbe a lot quicker, right? So Vettel on a new Ultra, Valtteri on used soft tyre, 27 laps old, and he's still stuck behind.

Sebastian VETTELSo, what's the situation then?

EngineerBottas on 30 laps, hold option, he's going to the end, we need to pass him on track. And we complete lap 45, 4-5.

EngineerCurrently P11, everyone's stopped, so signs ahead medium is P10.

Romain GROSJEANHow is that possible? I thought we had overtook the two cars front.

EngineerYeah, they're behind you. The McLarens went long and they jumped everyone.

EngineerFronton, last lap is 23.0 How

Carlos SAINZmuch pressure tires he has? 20 laps?

EngineerI have a problem, car, I lost the drive, no drive, oh coffee oh it seems like the gearbox is gone, yeah Stoffel the gearbox is gone, the gearbox is gone, you'll have to shut the car off, remember to turn it fully off

Kimi RAIKKONENYeah, you never told me that this is going to restart.

EngineerIt was very quick, Kimi.

EngineerNice job Nico, let's see if we can get the next one.

EngineerVettel and Bottas are very close together, just 7 seconds ahead of Rijck and then he will catch those cars.

EngineerBottas reporting he started to lose rear tyres.

EngineerOK, got a bit of clear air now.

Fernando ALONSOWhat happened to Stoffel?

EngineerFernando, we think it was a gearbox problem, nothing relevant to our race here.

EngineerTires OK, Lancet, real Tires are OK No, they're not, no they're not

EngineerHe's hanging on in there, he's doing a really good job.

EngineerHow fast can you go? How fast can you go in free air?

Sebastian VETTELAbout one and a half seconds faster.

EngineerUnderstood.

EngineerTires are fine, tires are fine.

Fernando ALONSOSo I guess the Ferraris and Bottas touched each other, but maybe one gives on the race, one of the lucky ones.

EngineerFernando, that's exactly what happened, that's exactly what happened. There is still action in front, so be careful. Careful car off track.

Fernando ALONSOAnd again, all continues.

EngineerSeem quite obvious to me that Bottas just locked up and went into it. That will be investigated after the race You can still get him Okay, Bottas may let you go. He may let you go. Okay, you're gonna have to overtake him. You can do that

EngineerGive back the position to Ricciardo because why because of the The touching So keep racing

EngineerGet in there Lewis, what an awesome drive mate, fantastically managed.

Lewis HAMILTONGuys, big big thank you to everyone here and back at the factory, that was a tough race for us, tough weekend for us, we came out with some good points so I'm really proud of you, big thanks man.

EngineerNo thank you Lewis mate, great effort so far.

Lewis HAMILTONIt's a good way to go into the break. Guys, have a good rest. Come

Engineerback strong. Yeah, we need it Lewis, but yeah, we'll come back stronger than ever.

EngineerFP2 Sebastian, well done, nice race, well managed. Grazie ragazzi, grande lavoro, difficult in the last end but managed to get past, grazie.

Sebastian VETTELGrazie Seppe.

EngineerVery brave move on Bottas, nice job, well done. Nice recovery, I think we couldn't get more than that.
