   Charles LECLERC: Copy.

2. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull20:38:23

   Engineer: Both front and rear a little bit cool at this stage, mainly fronts, so work them.

3. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes20:44:54

4. Sergio PEREZForce India20:47:30

5. Carlos SAINZRenault20:49:53

   Carlos SAINZ: Yeah, this tower just keeps getting better and better.

6. Stoffel VANDOORNEMcLaren20:50:14

   Engineer: Stoffel just be a bit more break potato turn 13 to manage the front right under rotation

7. Daniel RICCIARDORed Bull20:53:41

   Daniel RICCIARDO: Driveability, not great. Quite the eclipse.

8. Stoffel VANDOORNEMcLaren20:58:25

   Stoffel VANDOORNE: Where is the time to find?

   Engineer: Sector 1 is probably your best sector. There's a bit of time in the entry to turn 5 you can try and find. Braking for turn 7 now looks good, but there's a bit to find in the entry of 8 and 9. Time to find under braking for turn 10 and a little bit under braking for turn 15, 16.

9. Fernando ALONSOMcLaren21:00:37

   Engineer: Most other people have done their times on primes.

10. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes21:06:11

    Engineer: Valtteri aborted his second push lap on that tyre as he wasn't finding any time

11. Brendon HARTLEYToro Rosso21:07:06

    Brendon HARTLEY: Small touch.

    Engineer: Small touch, left-hand side. Copy that, copy that. We are checking. Focus on recharge. Big focus on recharge.

12. Daniel RICCIARDORed Bull21:07:40

    Engineer: Just reminding back to this morning, the first lap was the best one, Bottas attempted a second lap and then backed out of it.

13. Fernando ALONSOMcLaren21:11:26

    Engineer: That was a good sector 3

    Fernando ALONSO: Ok, I wanted to try something in sector 3 so I'm happy to box now

    Engineer: Yep, ok, whatever it was, it looked good we are boxed this lap

14. Sebastian VETTELFerrari21:13:55

    Engineer: I brush the wall, exit of 21, I think I might have damage.

15. Lance STROLLWilliams21:15:09

    Engineer: Even

    Lance STROLL: the front's starting to have the grip.

    Engineer: Okay, just stand by for a double slow lap.

16. Esteban OCONForce India21:16:29

    Engineer: Esteban, we're going to go for a second cool, second cool lap to cool rears.

17. Carlos SAINZRenault21:19:04

    Engineer: we can start focusing on green numbers on the dash straight away please

18. Sergio PEREZForce India21:19:52

    Engineer: Check I work a little bit more on front temperature, bit more on front temperature, the cooling of the rears is good, but we need a bit more front temperature without heating the rears.

19. Esteban OCONForce India21:23:36

    Engineer: Esteban, did you brush the wall at all on that run?

    Esteban OCON: No, but it was close to game over. But no, nothing.

20. Kimi RAIKKONENFerrari21:25:19

    Engineer: So Kimi we are dropping alpha degree the front wing, if you can do a clutch drop leaving the pit stop.

21. Nico HULKENBERGRenault21:28:37

    Engineer: How's the pace? Okay Nico, unfortunately no real comparison possible at the moment. Carlos may be two to three tenths slower but he's also had some traffic.

22. Marcus ERICSSONSauber21:30:49

    Marcus ERICSSON: The fronts are completely falling apart copy

    Engineer: that copy that

23. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull21:31:12

    Engineer: Max what is the problem it happened out of turn seven I accelerated and I just went like I don't know misfiring or something

24. Lance STROLLWilliams21:33:01

    Engineer: OK, lots of brakes are too hot on the rear right, we need to box as slow as you can, slow as you can, we need to cool the brakes.

    Lance STROLL: OK.

    Engineer: So go out lap, let's cool the brakes, try not to use them as much as possible.

25. Fernando ALONSOMcLaren21:36:40

    Engineer: And Fernando, engine braking test, torque 3 and it's shape 1. That's torque 3, shape 1.

26. Marcus ERICSSONSauber21:39:59

    Engineer: Ok Marcus, keep doing the liftoff, I know you are struggling at the front, but we need to live with that for the moment.

27. Daniel RICCIARDORed Bull21:45:24

    Daniel RICCIARDO: Another A grade f***head

    Engineer: Understood

28. Sergey SIROTKINWilliams21:48:55

    Engineer: Just give us some further feedback, Sergei. I

    Sergey SIROTKIN: mean, very strange combination between either front locking in some places and a very sudden end of the braking rear snap.

    Engineer: OK, copy that. We'll take a look from outside.

29. Stoffel VANDOORNEMcLaren21:53:51

    Engineer: Yeah, massive rain in the front right. Copy, copy. How's the rear stuff? How's the rear? Doesn't feel too bad. Okay, that's good. Use the toys, use the toys.

30. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull21:55:20

    Max VERSTAPPEN: The engine is doing the same thing again, but already for a lap. They don't see it in the data.

31. Daniel RICCIARDORed Bull22:01:00

    Engineer: Okay, so that is the checkered flag. Can you put the pace on the way in please?

32. Nico HULKENBERGRenault22:02:04

    Engineer: OK Niko, with all this traffic there's no point pushing so let's cool the brakes now, let's cool the brakes.
