Brendon HARTLEYSomething strange in the bus.

EngineerI'm not sure what it is.

Engineerfor

Lewis HAMILTONquite a long power.

EngineerWe've got a tailwind through turn three, into and through turn three, tailwind.

EngineerActually, it's also left-hand corners, even the kicks, so at high speeds. Copy that. CU on the grid, stop at the back of the grid, please confirm. Copy, CU on the grid.

EngineerJust seeing spots of rain here, but there's nothing threatening on the radar. It's only just very lightly spotting. Thinking maybe just one hole back in, except the same or more wing than we had in P2. So at the moment we'd be plus one and a half, plus two holes, I think plus two holes compared to our FP2 run. And track with similar temperature. FP2, we were 42 degrees, 43. It keeps bouncing around now in the low 30s.

Pierre GASLYTrash guys, massive crash Massive crash, I spawn

EngineerAre you okay? Are you okay? I

Pierre GASLYcannot believe

EngineerOh mate, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Yep. Are you okay, man? Yeah, I'm okay. I tried the outside, lost it a bit and then I got dirty and that's it. Okay, man. It's okay. So just remember to go to P0.

EngineerYeah, we need the safety guard to go faster. If not, this is going to be a chaos. Tell him to jump the chicane or something. Okay, understood, Carlos.

EngineerThat's good. The fronts are coming up. Yeah, that's good. But the rear is sort of difficult. Okay. The front is good. The front is good. Much better.

EngineerAlso oil reported on the track, oil reported on the track, there turn free. Keep working on your fronts, left front especially, the left.

EngineerThey need to

Lewis HAMILTONsweep up a little bit better. There's still some stuff down, guys.

EngineerOkay mate, so that's settled into it. Battery is full if you need it. There still isn't any DRS yet, so you've got a bit of safety. There is no DRS yet. Our tyres will improve from here.

EngineerOffset 0, we need to help a bit the rear brakes. Offset 0 and look after the front lock. Copy.

EngineerOkay, nice. We're looking at plan A plus 7 currently. Plan A plus 7. Okay. We'll respond if people behind start to pit.

EngineerOK Carlos, we're thinking about plan B, plan B. OK, copy, I'll work on that.

EngineerOkay so I can see you find your rhythm now, just think about the gap you've got looking for probably around two seconds to max just to try and look after those tyres a bit

EngineerI'll just be sensible with your tyres at this stage, it's quite early still.

EngineerHow is the balance? How is the balance?

Daniel RICCIARDOIt's okay for now, a little bit more on the rail.

EngineerSo just look at maintaining that gap. Just think about saving the tyres in the high speed corners to maintain that gap.

EngineerOk Brendan, this is a crucial part of the race, you need to pick the pace up if you can and try to get past the Williams.

EngineerCheck how we're looking to extend. We are looking to extend. With what you've done with brake temperature, we've managed to build a bit more front left. Two degrees in the last lap, so keep it going. Medium runners, a slow warm-up.

EngineerWe need other fuel ups, Kimi. Is it okay for you?

Kimi RAIKKONENYeah, it's okay.

EngineerGood.

Daniel RICCIARDORear stayed the same, front stopped off a bit.

EngineerHow's the balance now? How's the balance? It

Esteban OCONhas improved a bit, but not totally.

Kimi RAIKKONENI have some issue, some issue, left power. Is

Engineerit good?

EngineerSock 8, Sock 8. Nothing, nothing, ok, nothing happened, I have no problem.

EngineerAnd stop the car Kimi, stop the car.

EngineerTry to come in, Kimi. Try to come in. Try to come in.

EngineerCheck how you're currently faster than the cars on the mediums. We're currently faster than the cars on mediums. We need to extend with as much pace as possible.

EngineerSo Lewis, just being careful with the tyre wear and also that back marker traffic would hinder us a lot.

Lewis HAMILTONHow is this medium pace compared to others?

EngineerYeah Lewis, so fastest lap on the medium tyre, about 7 tenths faster than Vettel, you are the fastest man on track.

Lewis HAMILTONDo I need to slow down and make the start last at the end?

EngineerNegative, negative.

EngineerGood lap Brennan, good job, keep pushing.

Fernando ALONSOYou definitely need to stop talking every overtaking maneuver.

Max VERSTAPPENIf I get overtaken, I'm going to lose a lot of time.

EngineerUnderstood, Max.

EngineerHawaii I cannot pass, you're so fast on the straight. OK Carlos, let's stay calm, Ericsson still need to stop, we need to focus on the tyres. Copy.

EngineerHow detrimental is to pass this guy?

EngineerSo Valtteri Stark looking after the front left moor and if we were to get to the end of the race with this tyre just let us have some feedback.

EngineerChekhov we've been happy with your management but if you can lean on the front left without sliding it that's better the number of laps to go is critical it is critical but your management so far has been good

EngineerOkay that last lap for you 20.8 you put half a second into him you were quicker by half a second

EngineerI have an issue, I have an issue, lost power, lost power, lost power Ok, pull over, pull over Don't change gear, don't change gear Driver default B02 I'm stopped, I'm stopped Default B02

Esteban OCONOk, I have smoke in the back

Lewis HAMILTONThese tires will be hard to reunite

EngineerOkay, copy loose so the gaps should just remain constant

Max VERSTAPPENI have damage to the front wing

EngineerDo you need to box?

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, I don't know

EngineerStay out Unless you've got big damage

Max VERSTAPPENYou suddenly press the brake Make a picture on the straight.

EngineerYeah, we've got it already. We've seen it. You've got in plate damage, but Structurally the wing is fine. So as long as you're happy with the balance all good

EngineerYou can push. Check out Leclerc.

Engineerto menu dash position two that's a menu dash position two

EngineerAlonso behind, sorry.

EngineerBlue flag for Ricciardo. We lost too much time the previous time. Blue flag for Ricciardo.

Engineer... plus three clicks for new tires, plus three clicks.

Carlos SAINZSo just

Engineertell me his pace a lot. So last lap is 22 5 22 5 and I keep you updated

EngineerBut a reminder there's still a long way to go in this race, and you know Bottas is tirage

Fernando ALONSONo problem with the dash until the end, isn't it?

Lewis HAMILTONHow's this pace?

EngineerPace is very good at the moment, got Verstappen with a 20.4, Vettel with a 20.0

EngineerSo I just need to stroke it to the end

EngineerWhich kind of tyres Lewis has in the front? Lewis on medium tyres also, six laps younger.

EngineerGood job Brandon, keep pushing, I want you to get past Ericsson as quick as possible

Engineer11 laps to go, 11 laps to go, good lap, keep pushing like this, first lap in 19.7.

Engineerokay Fernando there's some rain forming up to the west but it's still quite far away we'll keep an eye on it

EngineerAnd nine remaining, just confirm you're happy again to the end.

EngineerI can recommend Torque 2, Torque 2 is that spot, good.

Sergio PEREZGet Sorokin out of the way please.

EngineerUnderstood Checo, understood. Sorokin should be getting blue flags for you soon.

EngineerOh, the engine, engine. I had a fuel drop out. Scenario 1, Scenario 1. Okay Carlos, we need to take it easy to turn 3.

EngineerSo you can still do more saving in three and nine Copy the more I

Valtteri BOTTASsave it the more others temperature

EngineerMy struggle with fuel saving, and my struggle with fuel saving in the starter.

Sergio PEREZI have very big abbreviations on the front. What if I don't keep going? Why I don't let him by?

EngineerLet him by, Checo. Let him by. He's 1.8 behind. He's 1.8 behind. Leclerc's 7 behind. Leclerc's 7 behind.

EngineerReally good job there Valtteri, really good. So P2, so pick up rubber. Really well done. You could do any strategy there, really well done.

Lewis HAMILTONyes great job guys fantastic ever all we can this is more like it let's keep this up okay

Engineerloose awesome job mate if we can have a 58 to position 11 8 to 11

EngineerThat's

Lewis HAMILTONmore like it, guys. I'm super happy with that. Great job.
