EngineerOK, Nekosa, just over one minute to the green light. OK, Nekosa, just over one minute to the green light.

EngineerTemperatures are okay for another two minutes Carlos.

EngineerOkay Carlos, that was 36%, 36.

EngineerOkay, so constant speed, no burnouts, and start in the position we discussed.

EngineerConstruct 12, close position, 1% deep.

EngineerLet us know if you want to flap adjust and cool the car. No flap adjust. So box, box and drive through for another start.

Engineerand push until turn 14 clutch position 2% shallow

Pierre GASLYI have some awesome power

EngineerCopy, we believe it's because of mode 12, it should be better

EngineerAnd we need some full throttle, full throttle, last part, and you can go to the grid, and go to the grid, and go to P0.

EngineerMode 6, Strat 8, radio check,

Max VERSTAPPENradio check, loud

Engineerand clear,

Engineerok I'll have a check on the way to 14,

Max VERSTAPPENradio check,

Engineerloud and clear, throttling update,

Max VERSTAPPENyeah that's all good,

Engineerok, throttling update, ok box, box, through the pit lane, there'll be a little bit of a queue at the end, and Strat 3, Strat 3, you can get yourself in that now, ok Strat 8, and we'll have recharge on please for the whole lap, recharge on for the whole lap, but different approach to the lap now, ok to the grid, 3 ramps before you stop, 3 tyre ramps before you stop, and it's left hand side Max, left hand side,

EngineerMode 6. Mode 6. Feedback, that was minus 2. Feedback, that was minus 2. Sync gears. Radio check, Alex.

Alexander ALBONTurn 8.

EngineerYeah, turn 8, loud and clear. Try your drink. Radio latched. Turn 10. Turn 10, loud and clear. Drive through practice launch. Drive through practice launch. How is your drink? How is your drink?

Alexander ALBONYep, all OK.

EngineerCopy, and radio is still good. So, practice launch in mode 3.

Alexander ALBONTurn 8.

EngineerYeah, turn 8, loud and clear. Try your drink. Radio latched. Turn 10. Turn 10, loud and clear. How is your drink? How is your drink?

Alexander ALBONYep, all OK.

EngineerCopy, and radio is still good. So, practice launch in mode 3.

Engineeroffset two clicks rearwards to minus three, offset to minus three.

EngineerHow's the front flap Alex?

Alexander ALBONFeels okay Yeah, I'd say

EngineerIt

Alexander ALBONfeels good now. I'm a little bit worried that when the rear seat up it might go to oversteer

EngineerBut

Alexander ALBONjudging by the front deck, maybe it's okay

Daniel RICCIARDOIt's on the nose, so I'll take some wing off.

EngineerWould you like to try that for the last lap? You can do an adjust if you want.

Daniel RICCIARDOYep, yeah let's do that.

EngineerHow many turns?

Daniel RICCIARDOThree turns down.

EngineerOkay, understood.

EngineerMFPU9, position 3

EngineerAnd if you can, multifunction Bravo 2 to position 13. Multifunction Bravo B2 to position 13.

Carlos SAINZCarlos, speed late

EngineerDon't brake traction, drive straight through for launch at exit And Carlos, how was the front wing?

Carlos SAINZYeah, it's OK

EngineerCarlos, that was 34% and you can keep pushing to turn 9. Ok Carlos, recharge button on please and cool the car.

EngineerAnd Lando, when you can, can we have white h9, position 4? That's white h9, position 4.

Lewis HAMILTONHow's

Engineerthe

Lewis HAMILTONtrack temp?

EngineerYes, the track temp, on the track we've got 36 degrees, so similar to yesterday, about a degree hotter.

Lewis HAMILTONAnd where's the other car with the front wing?

EngineerSo the other car is half lower than we are. But

Lewis HAMILTONthis is the same wing balance as the Friday but with a different wing. So we should generally have more wing on now to take out that half a hole.

EngineerYeah, I'm happy to go with that.

EngineerRadio check, you mean?

Kimi RAIKKONENYeah, okay, it sounds just completely different than normal.

EngineerYeah, I would not worry, it's because we're on the grid, there's a lot of interference. It's very loud, it's very loud, sir. Hey,

Kimi RAIKKONENit's very loud. It's really loud, so please be careful.

EngineerOkay, I will not speak.

Kimi RAIKKONENF***ing crazy loud. Is it right way round? I don't know why it's... Don't speak loud, because it hurts like f***.

EngineerLando, tyre info. Everybody with free choice starts medium, apart from Gasly who starts hard.

EngineerAlright mate, this is not where we belong, yeah? We're all pissed off by that, so let's use that aggression as a positive to make us fucking off.

Carlos SAINZI have a Bacture. Bacture.

EngineerCopy, copy.

Carlos SAINZMid 10, Carlos. Red mid 10. Yeah, Hulkenberg cresting to me, I think.

EngineerCopy, copy.

EngineerAffirm. Front left puncture Nico, front left puncture. Confirming left front puncture Nico, left front puncture.

Nico HULKENBERGYep, copy.

George RUSSELLany damage we've got sandwiched probably

Engineerwe'll box this lap just

George RUSSELLkeep an eye on it if it falls off or anything we'll watch the pressures pressures

Engineerare still good for now

EngineerAnd DRS enable, DRS enable, gap to Hamilton behind, 1.5.

Carlos SAINZYeah, it's broken. Something is broken at the rear.

EngineerCopy.

Carlos SAINZDo you want me to race or what

Engineerdo I do? Carlos, the crossweight looks normal. In the data, the suspension looks normal. I suggest you let Perez and Kubica past as the last few cars so we don't impede the race and then see if the car is OK.

Carlos SAINZI have a Bachter, Bachter Copy,

Engineercopy

Carlos SAINZYeah, Hulkenberg cresting to me I think

Engineertarget 49.5 49.5

Carlos SAINZThere's something abnormal we

Engineermay have aerodynamic damage we believe the suspension is okay

EngineerHamilton with DRS.

EngineerOK, for the reference Niko, leaders are doing 49.4

Nico HULKENBERGGiz, Niko, should take some pace out

EngineerIt won't do any harm Niko, it will help the tyres Copy,

Nico HULKENBERGgeneral grip level feels quite poor again on the hard

EngineerCopy that Niko, the leaders clearly driving to manage their pace

Valtteri BOTTAStires still they feel like new and front right for the moment is sliding more than the rear

EngineerOkay Carlos, that's Hulkenberg behind. We'll have blue flags shortly for Hulkenberg. See what you can do.

EngineerI'm at blue flags now for Hulkenberg. Blue flags for Hulkenberg.

EngineerThis is a good job, Kevin. You're doing good with everything. Good managing.

Daniel RICCIARDOWe don't f***ing around, Scott. Let's go, boys. Let's f***ing

Engineergo. Let's get it, boy.

EngineerOkay, so Kviat is 1.4 behind Raikkonen.

Kimi RAIKKONENCheck what happened in the first corner

EngineerYeah copy that we're having a look

EngineerEngine 5, position 1, if we can manage position. Engine 5, position 1, if we can manage position. I leave it up to you.

EngineerSanta Clara 49.6, Vettel 49.2

EngineerYou

Lewis HAMILTONcan't really go much lower.

EngineerCopy loose, the bunch is still in the pit window.

EngineerUnder a safety car, you would end up P9 behind Giovinazzi.

Carlos SAINZI cannot pass Kubica and I'm destroying my tires and the car is undriveable. What shall I do?

Engineerso front left caliper the one we are worried about try to cool down the front left and move to the car that way

EngineerSo Carlos let's open a two-second gap to Kubica for a couple of laps open a two second gap to Kubica for a couple of laps and then we can try again

EngineerHow is the balance?

Nico HULKENBERGYeah, it's pretty lively, I'd say.

EngineerBut

Nico HULKENBERGthen, if you look to the right, late entry is quite low, and this here is the same as well.

EngineerYep, copy that, see that.

EngineerThis pace is good mate. People at the front on soft are starting to struggle.

Valtteri BOTTASYeah, still can do at least target plus two, and it's gonna be front right for now.

EngineerSo we are considering plus one for the hard.

EngineerCheco for strategy A, minus 10 laps, target minus 10 laps. Are you happy to go down one and a quarter instead of one on front wing? A bit lower error balance.

EngineerAnd we're getting reports from some of the soft runners that they are feeling a drop.

EngineerOk, Kimi, still P11, your safety car window is closed, how are your tires?

Kimi RAIKKONENYeah, the rear doesn't feel very nice, but also behind the red pool, the rust is almost shit, rear is struggling

EngineerOk, copy

EngineerSo Carlos, this pace is competitive, this pace is competitive, when there's a safety car you'll get back on the lead lap and then we're in the race.

Lewis HAMILTONSo it's definitely starting to drop off a little bit.

EngineerAnd gap to Albon now, 2.1. Let's hold this gap.

Engineerand you can go to SOC 8

EngineerCaptain Hamilton behind, 1.5

EngineerCaptain Hamilton behind, 1.5

EngineerBox now Kevin box now

Kevin MAGNUSSENLike what are you doing? It's way too late way too late

EngineerUnderstood understood. Just go mode push mode push. Keep pushing. Just go mode push mode push. You're okay

Max VERSTAPPENVery low grip, mate, very low grip. Are you sure brake bias is working? It doesn't really do a lot.

Sebastian VETTELGo down with front wing.

EngineerCopy.

Sebastian VETTELTwo to three clicks.

EngineerCopy that.

EngineerOkay, you'll be bracing Hulkenberg bracing Hulkenberg on exit but white line on the exit white line on the exit

Lewis HAMILTONLet's undercut him

Kevin MAGNUSSENBig understood understood

Engineerunderstood. We'll work on the tools

EngineerOK, so box opposite to Leclerc. Box opposite Leclerc.

EngineerTyres took a hit from that baton

Romain GROSJEANRammer is struggling to get the carcass back into the surface down

EngineerHamilton stayed out, so he's coming in this lap, head down.

EngineerWe need to push as much as you can. Yeah, but what the hell? I mean...

Lewis HAMILTONTires are still okay?

EngineerCopy Lewis, it is very close

EngineerCopy, test 3 is sliding a lot now. Yeah, box, box, box. It will be tight with Hülkenberg.

Charles LECLERCIf I need to push more, then I can. Just so you know. Copy, understood.

Max VERSTAPPENLet me know with Hamilton.

EngineerYeah, we're right on this pitch that we know at the moment Obviously a bit of traffic for us ahead

Valtteri BOTTASRace situation?

EngineerSo race situation, Lewis is still out, he will drop behind Verstappen, in between Verstappen and yourself.

EngineerAnd just keep talking to us about the tyres.

Lewis HAMILTONThey're

Engineernot

Lewis HAMILTONgreat, but I don't want you to stop me.

EngineerLet's keep this up, Betel is coming up against some midfield cars that have yet to stop, they're on the medium tyre.

Max VERSTAPPENAnd keep me updated with the rear tires so I can prevent it a little bit.

EngineerValtteri, it's James, can you do 48.8 please, we gave you the first stop

Valtteri BOTTASThat was 6, this isn't going

Engineerto

Valtteri BOTTASgo long I guess, or?

EngineerYeah, 8番 Valtteri, I just need to make sure we can get these tyres far and work as a team, I'll pay it back to you

EngineerI

Lewis HAMILTONknow this is not a great time, but this is all the signs have.

EngineerSo you are only half a second unsafe to Lewis, so control the window.

EngineerKevin, multifunction Bravo 7 to position 3. B7 to position 3 when you can. Performance. Bravo? Did you say Bravo? B, Bravo 7 to position 3. Correct.

Lewis HAMILTONWhat do you think we should do?

EngineerSo we just need to close up and come to the back of him, nice and slowly, we need to look after these tyres, the race will all happen at the end. Turning Verstappen with 47.8

EngineerYou need to save your tires for the end of the race

EngineerAlright Max, if you just pull back from Leclerc a little bit please, look after your tyres and we need some margin on front brake attempts as well.

EngineerRace situation, Giovinazzi, Gasly, Ricciardo leading the race, they haven't stopped yet, right behind them Vettel, Stroll, Leclerc and Verstappen.

EngineerTry to take more care of the rear, some 13, 1-3 and exit of 3.

Engineerin front all on plan A behind maybe Hulkenberg plan B

EngineerBrake balance minus one click brake balance minus one click

EngineerCarlos, it'd be good to last until there's a safety car. There's incidents at the moment as the leaders go through the midfield and there's a chance of a safety car. It'd be best not to pit now.

EngineerKeep a look after the tyres, it won't be easy to get to the end.

EngineerOk Kimi, we would like to reduce our pace by one second a lap. Why? At the moment we are out of the point and we want to try to delay the car behind.

Kimi RAIKKONENHelping how?

EngineerSo Perez behind is five seconds behind. Yeah, I understand, but we

Kimi RAIKKONENare out of the point and we are in front of Antonio, so how do we... How we see then?

EngineerOk, forget all that, forget what I said, keep pushing.

Lando NORRISDo you expect his tyres to go off a lot more towards the end? And

EngineerHülkenberg pitted on lap one so we expect so. Car behind is Magnussen, he is 2.9 back and Raikkonen just behind him. They have made their stops so we'll be racing them to the end.

Romain GROSJEANBrake pedal going

EngineerBrakes are very hot That's

Romain GROSJEANgonna be impossible to overtake Impossible to overtake F***ing impossible That's

Engineerour

Romain GROSJEANluck with Duken

Daniel RICCIARDOOK, I have a puncture or something.

EngineerHigh speed 14, high speed 14 please. Yes, you have a puncture.

EngineerSo, Lana, a bit of a race update for you. We are P8 at the moment. P8 in front of you is Hulk. Like I said, he stopped on lap one. We think he will struggle. Cars behind are Magnussen and Raikkonen. They stopped before you. We will be racing them all to the end.

EngineerYou okay? F*** you

George RUSSELLdo it. Yeah, copy.

EngineerI

George RUSSELLshouldn't be surprised. Sorry guys.

EngineerYellow flag ahead, yellow flags ahead, Russell in the wall, right hand side, exit turn 8.

Nico HULKENBERGIt will be a safety gun for sure, it's an opportunity. I don't think I'll make it to the end on these tires.

EngineerCopy that Niko.

EngineerNeed to save as much fuel as you can into the safety car, Nico.

EngineerAnd Hamilton lap time was a 45.4, 45.4 with pressure hours.

EngineerOk mate, so at the moment we drop back to P16.

EngineerCharles, that was the best thing we could do, head down, the race is long, let's concentrate on the safety car, you are doing a super job. Watch your tyres and head down.

Charles LECLERCYeah, my head is down and it will be down until the race, I just want to let you know my feeling.

EngineerTo be

Charles LECLERCcompletely honest with you I don't understand at all the undercut, but yeah, whatsoever we'll discuss after the race, but...

EngineerWe'll be racing Charles at the restart, give each other space, don't take any risk.

EngineerDamp 8, Nico for the shifts, damp 8, little bit of front tyre temperature and brake temperature would be good.

Lewis HAMILTONCaliper temps okay?

EngineerYep, happy with the caliper temps

EngineerOk, give me some update on strategy, behind you is Perez, he's on the same tier as you, but behind him he has Troll on fresh, hard, so I guess they will swap and try to attack you.

Kimi RAIKKONENWhich position we are?

EngineerAt the moment we are P9.

EngineerOK, Nico, you're riding the throttle under braking, so please keep your foot clear of the throttle. What

Nico HULKENBERGare you talking about? I'm

Engineernot. We see it in the data, Nico. Not right now, but generally speaking, you have been riding the throttle under braking, and that obviously causes a problem. So at the restart, just try to avoid that if possible, please.

EngineerOK, so I reckon there will be at least one more lap under the safety car.

EngineerSafety car in this lap, safety car in this lap,

Kevin MAGNUSSENmode

Engineerrace start, mode race start, spark one and big adjuster to the middle, big adjuster to the middle now.

EngineerSo just make sure you're happy with your brake bias for the race start.

EngineerThese guys ahead got over 20 laps.

EngineerQB to Ahead is on 18 lap hold hards

EngineerGap 25 seconds Carlos, go and get him.

EngineerBox this lap, box this lap.

EngineerPossible debris out of turn 21 on left hand side.

Pierre GASLYEngine 5, position 2. Engine 5, position 2. I know, I can't see shit.

EngineerI

Pierre GASLYlike to do it. I can't see anything with the oil. There is so much oil.

Engineerso 19 laps to go manage your tires and DRS enable DRS enable

EngineerSo Perez might be losing some oil, Gasly complaining about oil on visor.

Pierre GASLYI know, but I don't see shit stuck on the visor.

EngineerTry

Pierre GASLYto wipe it and it's cursed.

EngineerCheck out we need to stop the car on track. We need to stop the car on track So find a position to stop we need to stop on track. You have five cars behind

EngineerLewis, just let us know if you have the pace to stay with the leaders? I think

Lewis HAMILTONso.

EngineerNot

Lewis HAMILTONsure I have the pace to pass them, but...

Kevin MAGNUSSENFront right just died

EngineerOkay, understood. Check your funk. Just try more engine braking and things like that. What does the front right look like?

Kevin MAGNUSSENIt's no graining. It's just

EngineerYeah, it went. Okay. Disappeared. Okay. Just into turn 60 and I'm getting some rejected downshift Okay, we'll take a look. We'll take a look

Charles LECLERCAnd for the restart we do SOC 7 again, that will help. I want everything, even engine mode.

EngineerCharles, we need to bring the car home, we need to manage the PU and bring the car home.

Charles LECLERCYeah, I won't do anything stupid, it's not my goal. I want us to finish 1-2, I just think it's not fair.

EngineerBut

Charles LECLERCthis won't change, I won't be stupid, don't worry.

EngineerYou are doing a good job with tires now. Better than before. Well done.

EngineerOkay, so I think we have some front wing damage. It's probably a good amount, a serious amount. So let's just use all our tools to keep the car turning, and we'll get to the end doing that.

Lewis HAMILTONLet's go lights out. Let's go

EngineerOkay, copy Lewis

Lewis HAMILTONNo guys, don't waste any more laps Prankmas gone

EngineerIt's the

Lewis HAMILTONreason they kept it out, just trying to waste time

EngineerYeah, don't ask me Lewis We'll have to think about that later So the safety car is going to be in this lap So let's just try and stay with them at the restart. We're going to have 14 remaining when you cross the line Just remember 10 car lengths Calipers still okay You

EngineerAnd multifunction DO position 9, multifunction DO position 9, charge 1.3 behind.

EngineerExcellent job there Nico, remember cars in front still on very old tyres, Norris, Albon and Bottas even.

EngineerAmazing

Kimi RAIKKONENWe are out.

EngineerCopy, full switch off procedure and come back in a bit.

Daniil KVYATCome on, just f***ing throw it on me! 15! Unbelievable! F***ing car damage, I think!

Daniil KVYATSafety car again.

EngineerSafety car, follow the reference. Move

Daniil KVYATdown the braking. Move down the braking.

EngineerCopy, Danny.

EngineerYes, we will go to the end. We are currently P-12 dude, P-12. Lots of other people will struggle with their tires. Yep, pretty good here.

EngineerRemember you're racing from the control line and overtake is available. Safety car in the pits.

EngineerI

Nico HULKENBERGfeel something weird with the diff or something. Gearbox, I

Engineerhad a false neutral just before the restart. Copy Nico, keep focused.

EngineerOkay, we need to swap positions swap positions, okay, please let Ramon through he's on better tires, please let him through

Lance STROLLI think something is wrong with the car Brad, I have a lot of damage, I feel like I'm

Engineergoing

Lance STROLLto crash something

EngineerAnd Bechler 45.1 DRS has been enabled.

EngineerThis is a second quicker than the cars ahead mate, this is really good

Daniil KVYATOkay, just f***ing forget it. It's dangerous. I don't see anything behind.

EngineerYou could be behind on prime.

Daniil KVYATI don't give a f***.

EngineerStay out, Danny. Stay out.

Daniil KVYATSomething is broken on the car anyway. This is f***.

Kevin MAGNUSSENI've got damage on my rear left

EngineerOkay understood we're checking Tire pressure is okay. We don't see anything at the moment. So at the moment stay out stay out. We keep monitoring

Nico HULKENBERGHe's got DRS as well, that's the problem.

EngineerCopy, scenario one.

EngineerOK dude, this is really good, we're P11, P11, cars ahead on very old tyres.

Romain GROSJEANYeah, my tyre is completely going also, it's a crazy damn switch.

EngineerAntonio Gaia ahead, got a 5 second penalty, maximum push now to increase the gap behind.

Max VERSTAPPENIt made me click, what the f**k!

EngineerOkay, engine 12 position 7 and boost off. Engine 12 position 7, boost off.

Max VERSTAPPENI need more power and less flipping.

EngineerNegative. This is the best solution for the moment, Max.

Engineer46.0 target lap time. No faster than 46.0. So 8 tenths slower.

EngineerThis is the last lap this is the last lap

EngineerYes, Sebastian, 3-1, nice job, 1-2 for Ferrari, awesome job, well managed.

EngineerWell done, Max. You drove really hard for that one. You deserve that one. Well done to beat the Mercedes today. Yeah, good job also with the pit stop.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, it looked like it was a bit tricky, but we cleared the traffic quite well, so good to be on the podium.

EngineerBravo Charles, I'm Mattia, I'm happy for you too, now go to Podio and enjoy, and then I'll have a memory.

EngineerSlow button on, slow button on, B2. Yeah, I know, it's OK, we speak later. Copy, understood.

Lewis HAMILTONThose in the garage, you guys did a great job all weekend. Thanks so much for your hard work, everyone.

EngineerI

Lewis HAMILTONknow you're pushing. We just have to keep pushing more and harder.

EngineerYeah, copy Lewis. Guys appreciate it.

EngineerOkay Marty, so that's P5, not that we can, we want it as a team, as Team BB.

EngineerWell done, Alex. Good job, mate.

Alexander ALBONYeah, it felt like we just spent the whole reason of my life to see if they could report us.

EngineerAnd then

Alexander ALBONobviously they were serving, so we didn't have much left.

EngineerWell done, Alex. That was a very good drive. First time in Singapore. You managed the issue at the end there very well, so well done. Good job. Thank

Alexander ALBONyou, everyone.

EngineerTop stuff, mate. Thank you.

EngineerFantastic job, fantastic job. Scenario 1, Scenario 1. Well done mate. P7, which I think is what we deserved. Well done, P7.

Lando NORRISYeah, nice one. It was a struggle at the end, but decent points and we finished the race again. Good job this weekend, I think we did improve all together, so let's keep it up and bring it on to Sochi.

EngineerYeah man, great job. Bring on Russia. Thank you.

EngineerP8, P8, what a man, what a race. Very good job here, very good job. You've done a very, very good job today. Fail, 84, fail. Fail, 84, fail.

Pierre GASLYYes! Yes! That's what I like. Thanks for the car, thanks to everybody who pushed the car to the maximum, it was great. Really enjoyed the race.

EngineerThanks

Pierre GASLYguys.

EngineerYeah, it's been a long day and you've done all the hard work out there as well, you've done very good. Okay, so in front of you are Norris, Albon, Vettel won the race, Leclerc P2, Verstappen P3.

Pierre GASLYHonestly, you can't imagine, when I had the oil on the visor, I've never seen something like this. Incredible.

EngineerThank you.

Pierre GASLYWithin, I don't know, three bottles of vodka or something. It was horrible for three laps.

EngineerCopy that. We were going to offer to clean it, but we thought we'd take the P8.

Pierre GASLYObviously. We did well with the engine management, so...

EngineerOK Nico, well done mate, what a tough race From where we ended up at the end of lap 1 that was a great job to get those points in it mate, well done mate

Nico HULKENBERGSo nothing with the stewards with Carlos and LeBron there?

EngineerNothing, no

Nico HULKENBERGYeah, cheers Always a tricky race regardless of where you are I guess

EngineerAbsolutely Anyway, did an excellent job there, as always

Nico HULKENBERGBut good job, good we pitted under that first safety car, otherwise later we would have just died like you saw the other guys, at least we had some fresh meat

EngineerYep, absolutely the right decision, good call Nico

EngineerGood race, Antonio, good race. P10 at the end. Don't be too slow on the way in. Don't be too slow.

Antonio GIOVINAZZICopy.
