   Engineer: Clear behind, OK for burnouts.

2. Carlos SAINZMcLaren18:02:23

   Engineer: Okay cars, there's no one behind best gap will be if you wait 10 seconds before doing the launch. It's just a wait 10 seconds

3. Lando NORRISMcLaren18:04:18

   Lando NORRIS: Is my throttle pedal sticking at all? Round turn 2, just check the throttle Was I holding on or something? I just felt like I was trailing it or something maybe

   Engineer: OK, understood And Lando, it might be something physical, everything looks OK in the data, but it might be something physical

4. Lando NORRISMcLaren18:05:58

   Engineer: and red flag red flag drive to the Delta no overtaking and we will be boxers lap

5. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas18:07:25

   Engineer: Red flag, red flag, need to get positive on delta time, red flag, Kubica's crashed out of three. So positive plus on delta time please, and then just try and keep tire temp and we'll come back in. Okay, you're good on delta time, so just try and keep the tires warm and then we'll wrap them and get them back on heat as soon as you get back in here. So Kubica's gone off there in three apparently.

6. George RUSSELLWilliams18:11:08

   Engineer: OK, straight up, stop, stop, stop, OK, that's a red flag, and, looks like Robert's gone off, so, set to go, button on, straight back in, no overtaking.

7. Lando NORRISMcLaren18:12:14

   Lando NORRIS: I need

   Engineer: to

8. Sebastian VETTELFerrari18:16:17

   Sebastian VETTEL: Yeah, I might take a breath, the tires are quite cold.

   Engineer: Okay, copy.

9. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes18:16:58

   Lewis HAMILTON: Downshift is very very aggressive, very poor

10. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes18:18:13

    Engineer: Lewis is on the medium 9.9 and all losses in cornering from turn 8 onwards

11. Romain GROSJEANHaas18:19:01

    Engineer: to keep it out behind pushing he's three back yeah i am pushing i am pushing

12. Nico HULKENBERGRenault18:19:16

    Nico HULKENBERG: Yeah, the up and downshifts, especially with Reach and John, they felt pretty bad, and out of line, not sequenced or not synchronized at all.

    Engineer: Yeah, understood.

13. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes18:21:37

    Lewis HAMILTON: It's starting to spit a little bit.

    Engineer: Okay, copy.

14. Daniil KVYATToro Rosso18:21:59

    Daniil KVYAT: Yeah, my steering wheel is turning to the right, on the straight line.

    Engineer: Copy, we are having a look.

15. Nico HULKENBERGRenault18:24:24

    Engineer: You may see some spots of rain on your visor, but there's nothing serious around at the moment.

16. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes18:27:19

17. Alexander ALBONRed Bull18:29:19

    Engineer: Is rain still falling? Is rain falling? Yes.

18. Lando NORRISMcLaren18:29:26

    Lando NORRIS: Can I have the other helmet please, there's still too much air coming in, it must be this visor.

19. Lance STROLLRacing Point18:30:10

    Engineer: This rains not on the radar. It's that light it doesn't show up, but obviously it's bad enough to adjust the track

20. Daniel RICCIARDORenault18:31:09

    Engineer: The rain is getting a bit heavier now and affecting grip.

21. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull18:32:12

    Engineer: Hulkenberg two and a half. Yeah, it's drizzling a bit. OK, well let's just collect some data for the moment. No, it's quite slippery mate. Alright, more box.

    Max VERSTAPPEN: Let's just give it one lap, see what happens.

    Engineer: OK, understood, stay out. But tyres are cold mate, tyres are cold, so do not push, just continue to try to generate some temperature.

22. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull18:34:31

    Max VERSTAPPEN: Engine braking is not good.

23. George RUSSELLWilliams18:39:43

    George RUSSELL: tires weren't ready.

    Engineer: Copy, so the option runners were quickest at the end of the lap so this could well be this lap or the next one.

24. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas18:41:43

    Engineer: Okay, Kevin, so we'll warm the brakes, especially rear brakes, warm the brakes with normal brake events to warm the rears.

25. Lando NORRISMcLaren18:44:30

    Engineer: And back off braking slightly in the last corner to kill off that understeer.

    Engineer: Anyone improving in the second time? Yeah, various cars improving, Carlos.

29. Sebastian VETTELFerrari18:50:04

    Engineer: Let me know if you want to take one more clear from behind

    Sebastian VETTEL: Yeah, it was not a very tidy lap, but problem was the first lap so I'm okay there. We focus on the long run. I know what I can do with these tires. So don't worry

30. Carlos SAINZMcLaren18:51:15

    Engineer: Anyone improving in the second time? Yeah, various cars improving Carlos, so you're now P9, Magnusson's the top midfield car, 110.14

32. Daniil KVYATToro Rosso18:54:39

    Daniil KVYAT: Yep, so just the steering wheel is a big problem.

33. Lance STROLLRacing Point18:55:44

    Engineer: If you could brake later for turn one, that would be good.

34. Antonio GIOVINAZZIAlfa Romeo18:57:46

    Antonio GIOVINAZZI: Box. Yeah, the Luscombe. Luscombe power.

35. George RUSSELLWilliams19:03:54

    George RUSSELL: Understeer time 13 is atrocious

36. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull19:07:22

    Max VERSTAPPEN: Copy, please look at this engine braking, it's again happening now.

    Engineer: Copy, stand by.

37. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull19:08:04

    Engineer: Engine 14, position 1, engine 1-4, position 1, I'll have feedback on the engine braking.

    Engineer: And target lap time 13.9, you are the only car with medium compound.

39. Pierre GASLYRed Bull19:09:34

    Pierre GASLY: And in problem, and in problem.

40. Charles LECLERCFerrari19:10:35

    Engineer: Virtual Safety Car deployed because of Gasly, he stopped between turns 3 and 4 on the back straight.

41. Nico HULKENBERGRenault19:12:37

    Engineer: Suggest brake balance rearwards to help front locking.

    Nico HULKENBERG: The rear is quite light at the end

    Engineer: of

    Nico HULKENBERG: braking, so I want to do that for balance. We have lock-in but the rear is pretty well loose too.

    Engineer: Copy that Nico. Okay Nico, we're going to box for the mediums, we're going to box for the mediums.

42. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes19:14:13
