  6. George RUSSELLWilliams18:36:340:16

    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.

    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.

  10. Lance STROLLRacing Point19:06:420:04

    EngineerDon't go too crazy on the brake warmer.

  11. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes19:10:400:08

    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?

    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.

    EngineerOK, pull over to one side, Orlando. Pull over to one side, please.

  24. Carlos SAINZMcLaren19:28:430:05

    EngineerCarlos, rear calipers are on the limit, keep doing what you're doing, what you're doing is working.

  25. Sergio PEREZRacing Point19:32:030:08

    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.

  26. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull19:34:050:05

    Max VERSTAPPENThe front is not particularly strong.

  27. Sebastian VETTELFerrari19:38:130:06

    EngineerSwitch to plan B. Plan B. Head down.

  28. Charles LECLERCFerrari19:39:030:06

    EngineerYeah, vamos, good.

  32. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes19:41:090:09

    Valtteri BOTTASYeah, the rear is quite weak, but it's going to be better with the heart.

  33. Daniel RICCIARDORenault19:41:270:05

    EngineerSo you're still three and a half seconds ahead of Bottas in a spit window.

  34. Nico HULKENBERGRenault19:41:570:05

    EngineerOkay, Nico, we do need to respect the fuel delta.

  35. Sergio PEREZRacing Point19:42:180:09

    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

  36. Nico HULKENBERGRenault19:43:400:11

    EngineerYeah, we've picked the gearbox up. It's

    Nico HULKENBERGreally disturbing on the uptick, feels like it's gonna blow up any moment.

  37. Carlos SAINZMcLaren19:44:220:04

    EngineerPace is good Carlos, you're matching Stroll, catching up with Gasly

  38. Sebastian VETTELFerrari19:44:510:06

    EngineerAnd push now push now

  39. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes19:45:390:10

    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.

  40. Romain GROSJEANHaas19:46:200:03

    Romain GROSJEANAnd that stays the issue.

  41. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes19:47:070:05

    EngineerOK, this is hammer time.

  42. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes19:47:540:07

    EngineerOK Lewis, we don't have the gap so we're going to extend as much as we can.

  43. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes19:48:540:06

    EngineerOkay, so box box box

  46. Romain GROSJEANHaas19:54:440:05

    Romain GROSJEANYeah, okay report that to the race control

  47. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull19:54:550:07

    EngineerSo ideally we gap Ricciardo, get the pit stop window, hope that Bottas doesn't pass him and we jump the two of them.

  48. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull19:55:360:07

    Max VERSTAPPENI still need to gain like six, seven seconds, right?

    EngineerFour seconds.

  49. Charles LECLERCFerrari19:56:360:05

    EngineerSo Verstappen will need to stop again, Verstappen will need to stop again.

  50. Nico HULKENBERGRenault19:59:120:05

    Audio only, no transcript

  57. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull20:07:290:07

    Max VERSTAPPENBrake pedal is on the southern floor.

    EngineerCopy.

  58. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes20:07:510:09

    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

  59. Carlos SAINZMcLaren20:08:370:10

    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.

  60. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull20:09:310:04

    Max VERSTAPPENYeah, this alpha needs to move.

  61. Sebastian VETTELFerrari20:10:050:09

    EngineerAnd the numbers on the steering wheel are correct. Take actions.

  62. Daniel RICCIARDORenault20:10:590:06

    Daniel RICCIARDOI heard the front left fighting, but it's slowly coming back.

  63. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes20:12:390:03

    EngineerAnd if you need to, Race Plus is available.

  64. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes20:13:000:10

    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.

  65. Sebastian VETTELFerrari20:13:410:08

    Sebastian VETTELTurn me longer, no DRS, say no DRS Copy

  66. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes20:14:310:07

  68. Pierre GASLYRed Bull20:21:250:03

    EngineerCool your front brakes.

  69. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas20:22:280:09

    Kevin MAGNUSSENThis is the worst experience I've ever had in any race car, ever.

  70. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas20:23:260:16

    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.

  71. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull20:23:560:01

    Audio only, no transcript

  72. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes20:23:570:06

    EngineerLeclerc ahead, there's a three-peat stop to you, and we do not have a three-peat stop to the stop and behind.

  73. Daniel RICCIARDORenault20:25:030:09

    EngineerThe

    Daniel RICCIARDOtires are pretty consistent. Just got to be careful with both axles.

  74. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes20:26:560:07

    EngineerVettel has five second penalty so we just need to stay in his gear box

  75. Sebastian VETTELFerrari20:27:360:17

    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.

  76. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes20:28:310:10

    Lewis HAMILTONHave we got any more power? Because I've got dropouts at high speed.

    EngineerHPP2, position 10. 2, position 10.

  77. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo20:28:560:04

    EngineerOk Kimi, we would prefer to stay on the left

  78. Sebastian VETTELFerrari20:30:000:29

    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.

  79. George RUSSELLWilliams20:30:150:08

    EngineerOK, L1 losing a load of time under the blues, we are closing quickly, this is good, keep going, keep going, pushing.

  80. Daniel RICCIARDORenault20:32:100:11

    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.

  81. Alexander ALBONRed Bull20:33:220:16

    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.

  82. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes20:38:230:07

    EngineerSo box, box, box. So we're going plus one on the soft.

  83. Sebastian VETTELFerrari20:38:520:05

    EngineerOkay, push now.

  84. Charles LECLERCFerrari20:39:300:03

    EngineerWe need you to push as much as you can.

  85. Carlos SAINZMcLaren20:40:010:04

    EngineerKvyat may have low power there could still be a chance here Carlos

  86. Sebastian VETTELFerrari20:40:550:03

    EngineerHamilton 0.6 behind

  87. Sebastian VETTELFerrari20:41:140:05

    EngineerAnd push now, push now, last lap.

  88. Sebastian VETTELFerrari20:41:320:05

    EngineerAll you have all you have

  89. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes20:43:510:21

    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.

  90. Sebastian VETTELFerrari20:44:120:30

    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.

  91. Daniel RICCIARDORenault20:48:090:16

    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.

  92. Charles LECLERCFerrari20:48:390:53

  93. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes20:49:210:09

    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.

  94. Sebastian VETTELFerrari20:49:360:34

    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.

  95. Nico HULKENBERGRenault20:50:490:21

    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.
