EngineerSink all gears. Sink all gears. Try your drink. Have a
Pierre GASLYdrink.
EngineerSo potential race set so no flat spot on entry
Lewis HAMILTONRPM's staying high. Okay, copy. We'll look into that.
Daniel RICCIARDOThat's quite a big queue, but unless you tell me to abort I'll obviously keep lining up.
EngineerWe've still got 60 seconds, we've still got 60 seconds, should be fine.
Nico HULKENBERGThere's some understeer, 2 and 3, 4 and 5, but obviously it wouldn't come up in the race, couldn't tickle it up.
EngineerI've
George RUSSELLgot a bit of rear instability into turn six under braking on the entry phase. This is something I experienced a bit in P2 as well. Just looking if there's anything we can do with tools to improve that.
Lewis HAMILTONLiquor keeps coming out of my tube.
EngineerOK, copy, who picks up?
Daniel RICCIARDOAll right, yeah, no issues from my side.
EngineerI was
Lewis HAMILTONfeeling a little bit under-engaged
Engineeron
Lewis HAMILTONall three of those starts.
EngineerYeah, not a problem, Lewis. We were expecting a little bit less grip on the grid, so they should be the correct target.
EngineerDon't go too crazy on the brake warmer.
Engineerseems
Lewis HAMILTONto have a problem and he still kicked it
Lewis HAMILTONCan you confirm I have
Engineera
Lewis HAMILTONproblem?
EngineerSir, no, you don't have a problem.
EngineerI have the green
Nico HULKENBERGlight on the left, I don't know what it is. Middle light.
EngineerAre you okay? Are you okay?
Romain GROSJEANYeah, I'm okay, but I picked up all the front wing from the guys. They just played their life in turn one. Ridiculous.
EngineerIs your front wing okay?
Romain GROSJEANYeah, I think I didn't touch anything, just the damage from the guys.
Audio only, no transcript
EngineerAnd this is really good at the moment, keep this up, the car behind Verstappen is Kvyat, gap to him is 2.9 and growing, keep this up.
EngineerSo Carlos, that stop was necessary for caliper temperature, stop was necessary for a blocked caliper duct, all okay now, all okay?
Carlos SAINZCopy.
Lando NORRISRed Bull is much quicker at the moment.
EngineerBox, box, box.
Kimi RAIKKONENWhy?
EngineerBecause I think we have a debris on the rear left. The caliper is super hot, like a man bone. Box, box.
Lewis HAMILTONWe're just taking a beat.
EngineerCopy loose, you're doing a good job.
EngineerOkay, you're right, something's happened. Okay, we will have to stop All
Lando NORRISright,
Engineerreally sorry about it. I'm really sorry
Lando NORRISMy brake pedal went long. My brake pedal's gone long.
EngineerOK. OK, can you keep going? Can you keep going? I
Lando NORRISthink so. I have to go straight on. OK, just manage it. It's still long. Something's smoking on the rear.
EngineerRear brake duct's smoking. Yep, so we have very hot rear brakes. We have very hot rear brakes. If you can continue for now, do so. Big lift into turn 13. Be really careful, Orlando. Be really careful.
Lando NORRISI've got a puncture. I've got a puncture. OK. Be a right puncture. Something's happened.
EngineerOK, I understand.
Lando NORRISWe're
Engineergoing
Lando NORRISto have to stop.
EngineerOK, pull over to one side, Orlando. Pull over to one side, please.
EngineerCarlos, rear calipers are on the limit, keep doing what you're doing, what you're doing is working.
EngineerCheck out for engine, we'll need to call the left hand side of the car, we'll need to call the left hand side of the car for engine, right hand is the car behind Magnussen.
Max VERSTAPPENThe front is not particularly strong.
EngineerSwitch to plan B. Plan B. Head down.
EngineerCharles, we are on plan B, plan B.
Nico HULKENBERGThe, uh, I'm trying to get him to take my heart.
Audio only, no transcript
EngineerWell done Carlos, good job. Vamos,
Carlos SAINZvamos, vamos.
EngineerYeah, vamos, good.
Valtteri BOTTASYeah, the rear is quite weak, but it's going to be better with the heart.
EngineerSo you're still three and a half seconds ahead of Bottas in a spit window.
EngineerOkay, Nico, we do need to respect the fuel delta.
EngineerCheck out for a couple of laps. Let's call the right-hand side for brake temperature Let's call the right-hand side for brake temperature for a couple of laps and we'll keep you updated
EngineerYeah, we've picked the gearbox up. It's
Nico HULKENBERGreally disturbing on the uptick, feels like it's gonna blow up any moment.
EngineerPace is good Carlos, you're matching Stroll, catching up with Gasly
EngineerAnd push now push now
Lewis HAMILTONNo, I don't have much life lessons. Tires go much faster, that's for sure. I can't go any faster.
EngineerOkay, copy.
Romain GROSJEANAnd that stays the issue.
EngineerOK, this is hammer time.
EngineerOK Lewis, we don't have the gap so we're going to extend as much as we can.
Lewis HAMILTONKeggis Tires are free.
EngineerCopy.
EngineerWe are going long, try to keep this pace.
EngineerOkay, so box box box
Romain GROSJEANYeah, okay report that to the race control
EngineerSo ideally we gap Ricciardo, get the pit stop window, hope that Bottas doesn't pass him and we jump the two of them.
Max VERSTAPPENI still need to gain like six, seven seconds, right?
EngineerFour seconds.
EngineerSo Verstappen will need to stop again, Verstappen will need to stop again.
EngineerNico from Michael, left rear temps, turn 7 a little high.
EngineerCome on Valtteri, take another go.
EngineerCarlos this is another good lap another good lap keep managing the oversteer avoid the oversteer where you can
EngineerOkay mate, doing an awesome job.
EngineerHamilton with DRS behind, one second, engine one is available.
Carlos SAINZClipping is so inconsistent guys, very difficult to drive like that.
Audio only, no transcript
Max VERSTAPPENBrake pedal is on the southern floor.
EngineerCopy.
EngineerThis captain has a 1.2, he has been given engine 1, that was a couple of laps ago
Lewis HAMILTONThat's it, keep the pressure on
Carlos SAINZYeah, this clipping, so difficult to be consistent, try my best.
EngineerUnderstood Carlos, keep your focus high, keep your focus really high, you're doing a good job.
Max VERSTAPPENYeah, this alpha needs to move.
EngineerAnd the numbers on the steering wheel are correct. Take actions.
Daniel RICCIARDOI heard the front left fighting, but it's slowly coming back.
EngineerAnd if you need to, Race Plus is available.
EngineerBut
Lewis HAMILTONas you're faster than me, it's hard to get close.
EngineerOnly time to find the battle is 1 and 2, and then turn 8.
Sebastian VETTELTurn me longer, no DRS, say no DRS Copy
Lewis HAMILTONon the track so don't yeah
Engineercopy this we're on it
EngineerOvertake button, fourth. Step rear is gone. Understood, Max. Understood. Box and pick confirm, Max. Box, pick confirm.
EngineerCool your front brakes.
Kevin MAGNUSSENThis is the worst experience I've ever had in any race car, ever.
EngineerNone of us are happy about this pace. The guy stayed up all night to fix the car, so he's bringing it home now. It means that for us it's also not a nice experience. It's enough now. That's what it means. Enough means enough.
Audio only, no transcript
EngineerLeclerc ahead, there's a three-peat stop to you, and we do not have a three-peat stop to the stop and behind.
EngineerThe
Daniel RICCIARDOtires are pretty consistent. Just got to be careful with both axles.
EngineerVettel has five second penalty so we just need to stay in his gear box
EngineerWe've got five second time penalty for unsafe re-entry. Head down, head down, we have Hamilton three seconds behind. I had no way to go.
Sebastian VETTELSeriously, I had no way to go. I didn't see him. Copy.
Lewis HAMILTONHave we got any more power? Because I've got dropouts at high speed.
EngineerHPP2, position 10. 2, position 10.
EngineerOk Kimi, we would prefer to stay on the left
EngineerYou
Sebastian VETTELknow, if you go through the grass and you come back, you have an amazing grip. Where the hell I was supposed to go? I had grass on my wheels. The CIS-4DP decides to go that way. If you go to the inside,
Engineeryou're
Sebastian VETTELgonna pass me.
EngineerOkay, stay focused. Copy that. Stay focused.
Sebastian VETTEL10 laps to go. I am focused, but they're stealing the race from us.
EngineerCopy that.
EngineerOK, L1 losing a load of time under the blues, we are closing quickly, this is good, keep going, keep going, pushing.
EngineerSo next car behind is Räikkönen on fresh soft tyres, he's quite a bit quicker, let's not lose time with him, we're not fighting him.
Alexander ALBONI struggled so much there. I think what we have for qualifying just comes over to the race. I can't do half a lap without the rears overheating. The rears overheat straight away. I'm just dying with rear grip the whole race.
EngineerSo box, box, box. So we're going plus one on the soft.
EngineerOkay, push now.
EngineerWe need you to push as much as you can.
EngineerKvyat may have low power there could still be a chance here Carlos
EngineerHamilton 0.6 behind
EngineerAnd push now, push now, last lap.
EngineerAll you have all you have
EngineerGet in there Lewis. Nice work mate. You forced the error and that's the win for you.
Lewis HAMILTONFantastic job guys. That is not the way naturally I wanted to win, but I would have been passed if it wasn't for the wall there. Big thank you for your confidence.
Sebastian VETTELNo, no, no, guys. No, no, no. Not like that. Not like that. No, no, no. Seriously, you need to be an absolute blind man to think that you can go through the grass and then control your car. I was lucky that I didn't hit the wall. Where the hell am I supposed to go? This is the wrong world. I tell you, this is not fair. Great crowd. Great race, ragazzi. Grazie. Grazie, ragazzi.
EngineerDaniel, good drive. Thank you. We always want more, but more will come.
Daniel RICCIARDOYep, no worries. It's a good start. I think that's double points, so well done.
EngineerAbsolutely, it is.
Charles LECLERCCopy, but he's still one, right?
EngineerHe will be P2 Officially will be P1 Hamilton, P2 Sebastian and yourself P3
Charles LECLERCOkay Well, congratulations to the HOO team We are back in more or less in the game this weekend so it's a great result
Engineera
Charles LECLERCbig shame for the penalty you all deserve to win but yeah overall I think it was a very good race on our side of the garage hopefully next time I'll be a bit better in quality because I have definitely the potential to do very good at this race Anyway, thank you
EngineerWe will be for sure
Lewis HAMILTONThank you so much for your continued support and confidence in me. Love you guys.
EngineerCheers Lewis, well deserved mate, real thoroughly solid weekend.
EngineerBeneseb, Iwinto, you win the race, you win the race on track, that's more important, you are the winner today for us, for the team, we appreciate your effort, keep your head down, stay calm.
Sebastian VETTELI'm not staying calm, this is not fair, this is just not fair. I'm angry, and I think you know why, and I have a right to be angry, I don't care what people say.
EngineerCopy that.
EngineerI know it's a bit frustrating, but you did a fantastic job today, mate. Absolutely excellent. Thank you very much.
Nico HULKENBERGThanks. Well done, team. Nice way to bounce back. Finally get, or finally put the car where it belongs and where we deserve.
EngineerThank you, Nico. Great team result. Thank you.

EngineerOk Carlos, that's the chequered flag, P11, Scenario 1 please, Scenario 1, it was a great fight mate, great job, it was tough having to pit so early in the race, you did well, good fight.
Carlos SAINZYeah, thank you guys, but yeah, not happy.
EngineerThat was P5 Max, well done mate, maximised that, did what you had to do, looked after the car and a pit stop window on the Renault in the end as well, nice job.
Max VERSTAPPENYeah I think we did what we could do, just had to stay out of trouble in the beginning.
EngineerYeah a lot of race time lost in that phase of the race, first 20 laps is what it is, but yeah nice job, plenty of pick up on the tyres.
Max VERSTAPPENYep.
EngineerYeah well done Max, that was a good recovery, as GP said a lot of time lost at the beginning but you managed the car really well.
Max VERSTAPPENYeah thank you Christian.
EngineerGood job Lance, well done, well driven mate. Yes! Awesome race, awesome. At

Kimi RAIKKONENCan you ask them to put the blue flags lights off my blue steering wheel, because I have a different name.
EngineerOk Kimi, I'm afraid we can't disable that on your steering wheel.
EngineerCheckered flag, Kevin, checkered flag.
Kevin MAGNUSSENGuys, I'm sorry, man. I know you're just as frustrated as I am. Yeah, sorry.
EngineerCopy, Kevin. We'll figure it out together.
Kevin MAGNUSSENAnd the guys in the garage, big apologies. You've done great, as always.
