EngineerThis

Lewis HAMILTONfeels like the hottest race I've ever had.

EngineerYeah it's getting that way, so yeah last reading is 58.6 on track temp, so yeah can confirm it's hot.

EngineerIs

Romain GROSJEANeverything okay on the car? I've got literally no grip.

EngineerWe're checking, we're checking. Temps are still coming up.

Max VERSTAPPENI'm clipping a lot

EngineerOk, stand by

Lando NORRISJust pushed me off the track!

Max VERSTAPPENGod, I need more power, mate. I'm just gripping a lot.

Romain GROSJEANI feel like it's raining. I've got no grip, no grip.

Max VERSTAPPENI'm clipping a lot. I need more power, mate. Just clipping a lot.

EngineerAnd we are going to plan A, plan A.

Charles LECLERCTell me when to start pushing.

EngineerTarget lap time 10.0, it's good like this.

Daniel RICCIARDOI could try to hold this from an eye-fetch, but I think I could manage his pace.

EngineerOkay, understood.

EngineerAnd push hard, push hard. You're doing well.

EngineerCome on, push hard. Come on.

Lewis HAMILTONTires are good. Tires are still good.

EngineerCopy. Okay, let's say we are going to go long.

EngineerShed

Lewis HAMILTONmy wing I think. I feel like I might have lost it downforce.

EngineerOk copy, we'll look it.

EngineerIs it

Lewis HAMILTONfront wing?

EngineerAffirm, same as FP1, we'll try and sort it at the stop

Lewis HAMILTONWell I'm losing time

EngineerBox, box, box, box, box, box. Affirm, we're going to do that.

EngineerOK, so you've got a decent tyre advantage on these guys, like I say, a lot of people suffering with blisters, let's watch the peak temps on this stint, then we can push later in the race.

EngineerSo Lewis, current race forecast is for the field to bunch towards the end of the race so you pull up towards the back of Leclerc. So just make sure we're there at the end of the race, there could be opportunities.

Lewis HAMILTONWhere did I do the damage?

EngineerThe damage was at turn 10, Vettel was at 8.7, Verstappen 8.6

EngineerI've said blue flags album blue flags album

Charles LECLERCCan I stop the fuel saving?

EngineerFS4, it's just for tyres. FS4, just for tyres.

Charles LECLERCDoes this mean I don't have to do the lift?

EngineerThat is correct, but you need to take care of the tyres.

EngineerOkay Lando, fantastic job, fantastic job mate. Lando, if you can, just hold Ricciardo in your DRS, hold him to allow him to have DRS as long as he can't pass you.

Lando NORRISLike,

Engineerforever?

Nico HULKENBERGBrakes are a disaster.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerMax, we have a significant pace advantage over Vettel in turn one, so use that.

EngineerOkay, box the slap box the slap

EngineerCome on, mate. Let's get it done early. Let's do it.

EngineerGet it boys. Yes boys, come on. Yes boys indeed.

EngineerWhat's the gap?

Sebastian VETTELNow let's kill it!

EngineerWell, I have no power Brad, so I don't know what we're doing right now. Yeah, we're trying to sort it Lance, we are trying to sort it.

Max VERSTAPPENI'm losing power guys

EngineerFail 3, fail 0-3, fail when you can.

Max VERSTAPPENWhat?

EngineerFail 3, fail 0-3, fail.

Max VERSTAPPENHaha, yes!

EngineerAlright, this is game on!

EngineerEngine 11, engine 11, position 5, when you can, it's more performance to the end.

EngineerThis is a blister in pace, Max. Keep it up, mate.

Antonio GIOVINAZZIFinally guys, finally!

EngineerIt

Antonio GIOVINAZZIwas a really hard race, but thank you. Oh, finally.

Alexander ALBONI don't know, I feel like I should have made it more clear that we should have boxed early because I tried to do it on the steering wheel, but I guess you saw we would come out of traffic

EngineerOK, you can't have us to unswallow the car

EngineerOK, checkered flag P18, nice job, nice job. Start for the pit lane, and Peter Haas on track, so good job. But looks like Verstappen Leclerc is under investigation. I

George RUSSELLwas watching the move, that's why I dipped the wheel on the grass down the straight. Move from my side.
