   Engineer: Copy that, box to box

   Engineer: OK Kimi, some issues on the TPMS, but the front left and rear right are working.

3. Lance STROLLRacing Point15:09:22

   Engineer: Tyres looking good, tyres looking good, couple of breaks down this straight, watch out for Magnussen behind, keep him behind, watch him.

   Engineer: We saw, we saw.

7. Sergio PEREZRacing Point15:12:41

   Engineer: Checo give us your feedback, give us your feedback, Reichen at 6 behind.

   Sergio PEREZ: It felt as if I had a puncture on the rear left. The car was rolling quite a bit and taking a lot of lightning out of the left rear. So the right hand corners were quite hard.

8. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes15:14:35

   Engineer: Box box box Valtteri, we're gonna go again with another set

9. Lance STROLLRacing Point15:16:24

   Engineer: What do you want me to do about traffic? So just let these guys go, no? No, stay where you are now. Stay where you are. Too late?

   Lance STROLL: They're going too fast. Well...

   Engineer: Those cars will slow in the final sector, Lance. Tires are already OK. Fronts can cool down a bit more.

10. George RUSSELLWilliams15:22:01

    George RUSSELL: Copy. Tires were well out of the window. That was fuel.

    Engineer: OK on the fuel.

11. Robert KUBICAWilliams15:25:46

    Engineer: from front axle

12. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes15:27:56

    Lewis HAMILTON: They've got 10 cars in front of me

13. Alexander ALBONRed Bull15:28:52

    Engineer: Ok Alex, same again with the traffic, open an early gap in the lap, turn 1, turn 4 in the low speed, so you can deal with it in the last sector.

    Alexander ALBON: Copy, will these tyres be harder to warm up than the new tyres? Or easier?

    Engineer: Slightly harder, slightly, but we are really close to target out of garage.

14. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes15:29:08

15. Charles LECLERCFerrari15:34:16

    Engineer: Both cars behind you on a slow lap and box box.

    Charles LECLERC: Copy.

16. Sebastian VETTELFerrari15:34:23

    Sebastian VETTEL: Okay, that was the worst spot ever.

    Engineer: And we go again. We need to go again.

    Sebastian VETTEL: You sure it's not enough?

    Engineer: We are monitoring, but we need to prepare to go.

17. Sergio PEREZRacing Point15:36:53

    Engineer: Something broke on the car, on the left side, I think one of the badge ports. Check again, run switch delta, run switch delta.

18. Daniil KVYATToro Rosso15:37:59

    Engineer: We need to push more, weaving, we need weaving

19. Alexander ALBONRed Bull15:40:43

    Engineer: Ok, I'm afraid Alex, that's gonna be it for us, currently P12.

20. Pierre GASLYRed Bull15:41:43

    Pierre GASLY: I can't put the throttle down, I don't know why, I get snaps everywhere

21. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas15:44:04

    Kevin MAGNUSSEN: brought us massive in the way understood

    Engineer: understood we'll report it just finished the lap

22. Daniil KVYATToro Rosso15:46:56

    Daniil KVYAT: Why do I have used tires?

23. Daniil KVYATToro Rosso15:47:21

    Engineer: Okay box box Danny box

24. Daniil KVYATToro Rosso15:47:33

    Daniil KVYAT: Can we change the tires?

    Engineer: No, that's it. We don't have time.

    Daniil KVYAT: What was that, guys?

25. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo15:49:54

    Engineer: Ok Kimi, we believe the oversteer you have in 6 is not due to the PT map.

26. Charles LECLERCFerrari15:51:07

    Engineer: next car in front Hamilton 30 seconds on an out lap and Norris behind pushing 24 seconds so you're on a good spot

27. Carlos SAINZMcLaren15:52:50

    Engineer: Magnussen is faster, he ran a new tyre, you're the fastest of the used tyre runners.

28. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas15:53:59

    Engineer: OK, Kevin, so we'll box now. Box, just watch the Weybridge lights.

    Kevin MAGNUSSEN: OK, box.

29. Carlos SAINZMcLaren15:57:08

    Carlos SAINZ: I will not use Stargear I think

    Engineer: Do

    Carlos SAINZ: you want to go SOC 6 again? Ok, Carlos we like SOC 7 anyway, SOC 7 is good whatever gear

30. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo15:57:48

    Engineer: Ok, we need a bit of breaks as usual, and you have a good gap to notice, 3 seconds.

31. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull15:59:08

    Engineer: Cars are fairly well equally spaced, so I wouldn't expect anyone to back themselves up too much down to turn 15. Make sure you weight the tyres up. It can stress the fronts a little bit more.

32. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo16:00:04

    Engineer: Ok, it will be more charge, more charge, not a bad lap. I'll let you know what's happening, we are P5 currently.

33. Carlos SAINZMcLaren16:00:31

    Engineer: Ok Carlos, currently your P5, Vettel, Bottas, Hamilton, there's a few cars still to set laps.

34. Charles LECLERCFerrari16:01:47

    Charles LECLERC: Yes! Come on, grandissimi! Tomorrow is the race and it's where we score points, but it's a good beginning. Thanks guys, the car was amazing. I'll push to try and finish the job tomorrow.

35. Sebastian VETTELFerrari16:03:00

    Sebastian VETTEL: Ok, good job guys. Well done. Main thing is we got the job done.

    Engineer: So,

    Sebastian VETTEL: certainly Q2 was not ideal, not having a shot in the end. We lost a bit in the second sector, losing the rear.

36. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull16:05:43

    Engineer: Okay, that's P5 just it's a decent lap

37. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas16:06:59

    Kevin MAGNUSSEN: Ah for

    Engineer: stopping got p5 by point zero zero five Anyway, anyway, good job man. It's p6 man p6. Yeah, good job, man. Yeah, really great Really good incredible quality, man Sorry about the last lap. I should have had that good job guys

38. Romain GROSJEANHaas16:08:22

    Engineer: Thank you dude, we are P8, P8. Good job man, good job.

39. Carlos SAINZMcLaren16:12:28

    Engineer: Carlos with P7 Verstappen got you just at the end half a tenth so Verstappen's P5 Magnus and P6 both within half a tenth but good job mate P7 we can have a good race from there
