   Engineer: Dude, let's push again, let's push again.

8. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas14:12:55

   Engineer: Okay, we will push again, push again. Your best lap is with higher temps than this. You're still P5, so your original lap time is still good. Let's get some more temp.

9. Nico HULKENBERGRenault14:13:29

   Engineer: Okay Nico, so we want to practice a tyre change, so aggressive stop on the marks please for a tyre change, and then P1.

10. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:15:17

    Engineer: In terms of sectors, it's down 3 tenths sector 1 and 6 tenths sector 3, you are purple in the middle sector, up 2 tenths. How

    Lewis HAMILTON: many tenths in the last sector?

    Engineer: Nearly 6 tenths, looks mainly straight line speed, need to have a look at GPS, it is poor quality.

11. Lance STROLLRacing Point14:15:23

13. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo14:19:00

    Engineer: VSC, VSC, red flag, red flag, so we will box this lap, and follow the delta, remember, do not overtake, do not overtake, and box this lap. So there is a troll who crashed in turn 2.

14. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:21:07

    Engineer: I think Leclerc also had very good toe there from Verstappen.

15. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:23:01

    Engineer: Copy.

16. Nico HULKENBERGRenault14:24:49

    Engineer: Okay, when you were on track you were up around P8, P9 so it's just track getting quicker as people are staying out.

17. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull14:27:09

    Engineer: Do your best to warm the tyres, currently around minus 10 compared to where you were running on track, front and rear.

18. Pierre GASLYRed Bull14:30:59

21. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:35:53

    Engineer: Valtteri so down half a tenth sector one tenth in the middle and tenth in sector three just need to check on toes

22. Sebastian VETTELFerrari14:37:47

    Sebastian VETTEL: Ok, I timed the slipstream a little bit short with the clouds, to give you a better tool.

    Engineer: Ok, copy.

23. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:38:48

    Lewis HAMILTON: That's

    Engineer: the

    Lewis HAMILTON: middle sector.

    Engineer: So 11 and 12 where we're losing the time, minimum corner speed.

24. Lando NORRISMcLaren14:39:30

    Engineer: Okay Landau, I'd like to box this lap, box this lap, that was a really good lap and call the brakes into the pit lane please, call the brakes into the pit lane and please confirm.

    Lando NORRIS: Yeah confirm, box this lap.

    Engineer: Okay we're going to stop on the marks for a front wing change please, so this will be stop on the marks for a nose box change.

25. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:41:56

    Engineer: Agalus, P3 at the moment, got Leclerc and Vettel P1 and P2, Valtteri behind P4, so 4.5 tenths to Valtteri, behind we've got Leclerc 6.5 tenths ahead, to Leclerc it's mainly middle sector, half a second, and then a tenth in sectors 1 and 3, if you think the tyres have got any life left in them you may take another lap,

    Lewis HAMILTON: half a second middle sector yeah, AFR to Leclerc,

26. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes14:42:46

    Engineer: I

    Valtteri BOTTAS: have a problem with the helmet. I'm waiting to change my helmet. I'm getting some air from the visor.

27. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:43:12

    Engineer: Now if you don't think there's another lap in it, then we can get on with the long run.

28. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo14:44:41

    Engineer: I do another lap. Yeah yeah no problem you have nobody behind so try to go full throttle as much as you can to charge the battery nobody behind.

    Kimi RAIKKONEN: Yeah but we don't charge the full battery for some reason I've been going full throttle the whole lap before.

    Engineer: Copy that we'll have a look.

29. Pierre GASLYRed Bull14:47:20

    Engineer: just be patient and try again, track is clear, track is clear

30. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo14:47:57

    Kimi RAIKKONEN: I don't know what's wrong with the brake pedal, but it's much longer travel than, let's say, in the last race. You're on there, aren't you? It doesn't feel nice.

31. Daniel RICCIARDORenault14:51:36

    Daniel RICCIARDO: Yeah, flat spot's pretty big, I'll keep you posted.

32. Carlos SAINZMcLaren14:55:02

    Carlos SAINZ: Yeah, I still need one more, I think.

    Engineer: Copy, no problem, so recharge on is good, and try and get temperature in the tyres.

33. Charles LECLERCFerrari14:56:30

    Engineer: And we need to start, we need two burnouts, and target to red. ****

    Charles LECLERC: forgot the burnouts.

    Engineer: No problem.

34. Carlos SAINZMcLaren14:57:58

    Carlos SAINZ: Yeah folks, I don't know that snap, where did it come from, but it took away some confidence. Copy.

35. Romain GROSJEANHaas14:58:51

    Engineer: I've

    Romain GROSJEAN: got some hard grading coming in the rears.

    Engineer: Understood.

36. Romain GROSJEANHaas15:02:47

    Engineer: Can we stay out and try and build temperature? We need to try and build... No, no, no, no. We are not ready to box. We have to stay out. We need to stay out.

    Romain GROSJEAN: It's dangerous. I can't be able to flatten a bloody 18-19.

    Engineer: We would still like to stay out if it's okay with you.

    Romain GROSJEAN: No, it's not.

    Engineer: I'm

    Romain GROSJEAN: sorry, but I just don't feel like it.

37. Daniil KVYATToro Rosso15:04:22

    Daniil KVYAT: I'm sorry guys

38. Lando NORRISMcLaren15:04:36

    Engineer: So let's go for one more we'll go for one more We will likely open the lap and then bail but to all intents and purposes. We've got one more shot at this

39. Sebastian VETTELFerrari15:06:10

    Engineer: Car in the wall exiting turn 7, be careful, be careful, red flag, stay positive and box.

40. Nico HULKENBERGRenault15:14:39

41. Sebastian VETTELFerrari15:15:32

    Engineer: Report a slippery track there turn 7 turn 8 where you were

42. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes15:15:43

    Engineer: So the red flag was caused by Kvyat between turns 7 and 8, there's a bit of extinguish on the floor there, so just be mindful showing slippery surface between 7 and 8.

43. Charles LECLERCFerrari15:17:19

    Charles LECLERC: Something weird this lap out of turn 2.

    Engineer: OK, checking it, we see it on data, exit turn 2, but nothing to worry about, everything is fine.

    Engineer: Check if it could be debris turn seven so into seven and out of seven there could still be some debris

45. Nico HULKENBERGRenault15:23:28

    Nico HULKENBERG: Front-locking is very on the edge. It really feels like the car is unloading and then braking.

46. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull15:28:04

    Engineer: This is not urgent. Two more time lapse max, two more. Keep on top of your tools.
