Carlos SAINZThere's something wrong with the aero balance or with the cross weight or something, the car is pulling massively

EngineerCopy that Carlos, boxes lap

EngineerThe drink system is leaking a lot. Copy. We'll have a look on the grid. Copy.

Carlos SAINZSo puncture?

EngineerLikely puncture, slow puncture

EngineerI'm happy with the balance, I think. Understood.

Alexander ALBONThe drink system is leaking a lot.

EngineerCopy. We'll have a look on the grid. Copy.

Alexander ALBONYeah, I'm getting soaked here. Yeah, copy. Just make sure we have a spare balaclava.

EngineerAnd I'll see you on the grid. OK copy. Tell Antti to bring the helmet screwdriver. The helmet tool.

EngineerSo wind is very calm.

Alexander ALBONBalance feels good, just almost too good, like once the tyre stabilises I feel like it's going to be oversteer.

EngineerOK, copy. I'll have more of a chat to you on the grid.

EngineerCarlos, the front right pressure is low. Front right pressure is low.

Carlos SAINZSo, puncture?

EngineerLikely puncture. Slow puncture. Carlos, bring the car back slowly. Bring the car back slowly.

Carlos SAINZOK. Going to a grid, yeah?

EngineerNegative, Carlos. Box this lap. Box this lap.

Carlos SAINZCopy. Box this lap.

Engineerand for info first and second gear are not synchronized should be okay for the rest others to know when you launch on now and we will need a buy point so fire up at 1 minute 30.

EngineerYes, so all the cars behind you are on medium, so all cars behind you starting on medium.

EngineerAlright then, I don't have to motivate you for this, it's been too long. Have a good one, make it count, have fun.

EngineerOk mate, outside of the top 10, everybody on this medium tyre, you copy that? Yeah I got it, cheers!

Carlos SAINZHard contact, check right left

EngineerCopy, copy

Carlos SAINZChico, push me wide.

EngineerIt's very important, look after that car.

EngineerAnd DRS enabled, DRS enabled.

EngineerCaptain Norris 1.9 1.9

EngineerOK, that last lap was a purple lap. Bottas a 9.6. You were 9.4.

EngineerPérez in front at 1.1 seconds The engines of the guys in front are smoking like crazy Copy

Daniel RICCIARDOStruggling more with the front at the moment.

EngineerOK, understood.

EngineerOkay, compared to Bottas, just lacking a little bit in Turn 1.

EngineerCarlos could be a bit of time by focusing on the exit in six and seven ten six and seven copy

Daniel RICCIARDOYep, status 8, tyres still struggling a bit more with the front.

EngineerSo last lap you were 10th quicker than Vettel ahead, similar pace than the cars in front of Vettel.

Daniel RICCIARDOOk, phase 3.

EngineerOk, understood.

Max VERSTAPPENYou'd still go back with this f***ing setting.

Max VERSTAPPENI keep saying the f***ing

Engineerthing,

Max VERSTAPPENI can't change it.

EngineerOkay, stand by, Max, we're looking.

Max VERSTAPPENI keep getting antistore.

Max VERSTAPPENI have no brakes.

Lewis HAMILTONAm I losing time?

EngineerSo turn three minimum speed at four and a little bit in the high speed

EngineerLando, behind Perez is Leclerc. He's falling back four seconds behind now and you're 0.4 seconds quicker. Keep this up. I

Lando NORRISstill think Perez is close to our expectation, but maybe not quite as much.

EngineerMessage understood.

EngineerYou're completing lap 15, we are still target.

EngineerSo it's an engine problem. We're trying to manage it. You're doing a good job, mate We're just doing a best to try and sort it here

Lance STROLLYeah, but I still have no power

EngineerOkay, the car behind is now Ocon. He's overtaken Giovinazzi. He's doing a 10.7 So about 0.6 quicker, but you're doing a good job on the brakes. You're doing what we have to do on the brakes

EngineerOk Kimi, Antonio will let you buy at turn 3.

EngineerLewis you are faster in turn one but losing the same amount of time in turn three is

Lewis HAMILTONthat entry or apex or exit so

Engineerturn three it's apex turn three it's apex Valtteri at 9.0 that gap at 6.7

EngineerSo we are target. We're going to have to go through some back markers. You've got Latifi 10 seconds ahead, predicted to catch him in four laps.

Lance STROLLLance,

Engineerwe'll drive you straight in the garage, straight in the garage, EASY!

EngineerUnbox this lap box. Copy.

EngineerAre you okay? Are you okay? Yep, the tyres The

Romain GROSJEANtyres are finished

EngineerUnderstood, understood

Romain GROSJEANBox

EngineerCopy, box I don't know mate what's happening, it's not the same car as Friday I know the track is hotter but It's, it's, yeah

EngineerAnd one of the racing point cars has just retired with sensor issues. Make sure you look after your car.

EngineerSo target plus 3 VAL 3.

EngineerCarlos, this pace is still good. Keep extending. This pace is good. Keep extending. That's Grosjean ahead now. He has blue flags. No risks behind at the moment.

Engineerso there's curb loads okay at the moment go menu shift position six

EngineerAnd multifunction on gearbox. Multifunction on gearbox and safety car.

EngineerSafety car deployed, safety car. Recharge ban on, delta positive, delta positive. Carlos we've boxed this lap, we've boxed this lap, it's going to be a double shuffle.

EngineerSo your first stint was good. Lando currently 8 seconds ahead of you. Perez was 6 seconds. Lando plus 8. Good first stint Carlos. Double shuffle.

EngineerSo everyone has stopped. Everyone has hard compound except Perez in front, which is on medium compound.

Charles LECLERCWhich is what, sorry? Medium

Engineercompound for...

EngineerAh, one

Lewis HAMILTONat the opposite tyre, one

Engineerat

Lewis HAMILTONthe opposite tyre guys.

EngineerYep, copy that nurse, that's all understood.

EngineerSo everyone has stopped. Everyone has hard compound except Pérez in front which is on medium compound.

Charles LECLERCWhich is what sorry? Medium

Engineercompound for Pérez in front. All the rest with hard.

EngineerOk Dani, we are currently P10, all the cars pitted for base, except Grosjean that is on prime, and Perez on prime.

Engineerso keep using that like 10 degrees more

EngineerSo then a bit of a race update for you at the stop we put on hard Perez behind has put on a medium Everyone else put on hards

EngineerAnd we can take a little bit more care on the kerbs in the last sector.

EngineerSafety car in this lap, place to focus, we are one. Take cover. Turn six, place to focus.

EngineerWhen the safety car switches the light off, you can dictate the pace. Safety car at turn 7, you remember we are racing from the control line.

Sebastian VETTELI'll cut down

Engineeron

Sebastian VETTELthis.

Carlos SAINZYes, I'm on. Touching.

EngineerCar's good so far, Carlos. No damage so far.

EngineerAnd let's push through the high speed a bit, let's try and get rid of Prez before he gets DRS.

EngineerDRS enabled. DRS enabled.

EngineerSigned behind at 1.0

Lewis HAMILTONI want to use my engine when I can.

EngineerWe'll soon be turning both cars down.

Lewis HAMILTONI've still got engine life.

EngineerWe need 20 meters more lifting into three and four for breaks.

EngineerDaniel, remember, anti-deploy, anti-deploy.

EngineerSuggest break three, break three.

EngineerSo Checo is a balance between trying to catch out one and making sure we've got tyres at the end

EngineerSo checkers, we think the rears are going to be the biggest problem on this stint. Fronts look quite OK at the moment.

EngineerChecker that lap was fast, but if you think it's time to save some engine for the end, if you want to save some engine for the end it's Strat 11.

EngineerNorris in front at 1.6 and Sainz behind at 1.8

EngineerEngine 5, position 2. Engine 5, position 2.

EngineerAnd Lando, this is plan A, plan A, maximum pace.

EngineerUrgent chassis default 2-1.

EngineerYou have no threats behind, Gasly 3.6 seconds behind, last lap 109.5

EngineerSo sensor issues seen on both cars, please stay off the kerbs.

EngineerYou've got 29 laps to go. Lewis 0.6

EngineerAnd Lewis, we're seeing sensor issues on both cars, so instructing you to stay off the kerbs

Lewis HAMILTONWe're generally staying off the kerbs

EngineerCopy, just do your best to look after that car

Lewis HAMILTONHe's using much more kerb than me

EngineerEsteban, slightly wider line at turn 3 may help.

EngineerLewis, just to reiterate, this is gearbox sensor concern, not suspension.

EngineerOk, let's go and catch Antonio, 2 seconds ahead.

Lewis HAMILTONTry it, guys, try it.

EngineerVow 3, this is James, the gearbox issue is critical, please stay off the kerbs, both cars. Copy.

EngineerLewis, this is James, the gearbox issue is critical, please stay off the kerbs, that's both cars. So this is the red and white kerbs as well, Lewis.

EngineerSo we are in a worse shape than the other car.

EngineerIf you cannot overtake Russell, we are looking to plan C. Let us know if you can. I

Sebastian VETTELdon't know what happened since Friday to be honest with you.

EngineerUnderstood.

Sebastian VETTEL25, you can go ahead.

EngineerLando we're okay to push through the high-speed corners

EngineerSo no concern for fuel.

George RUSSELLLost power.

EngineerLando last lap 1.086, Leclerc 1.091, it's going ok Carlos, gap took with Leclerc stable, it's going good.

EngineerSafety car deployed, safety car deployed.

EngineerAnd we may have a busy pit lane.

Charles LECLERCI'll try, the only thing is that it's very difficult to overtake, even with the DRS I'm struggling But yeah, I'll give it all

EngineerWe can go flat out to the end from here.

EngineerSo just a reminder, no overtaking before the line.

EngineerThe f**k,

Kimi RAIKKONENI lost the phone front right corner.

EngineerThe tyre will be in the gravel at the exit of turn 10.

EngineerCarlos, we're checking with the FIA. Confirm, you believe you were ahead?

Carlos SAINZYeah, the yellow flag came out when I was in the middle of the corner. But I was already side by side in the inside and ahead, I believe.

EngineerCopy, understood.

Carlos SAINZWhatever, if I did something wrong, it was impossible. That was on purpose because we were fighting side by side.

EngineerCopy, we're checking with the FIA. The worst case should be we have to give back the position. We're checking with the FIA now.

Alexander ALBONAnd if the FAA think he got back past, it's not true, because I was ahead and then I heard the beeps, so I backed off, and then Sergio, then Sergio kept going, accelerating and overtook me again.

EngineerYeah, understood. I'm watching, watching the video now.

Sergio PEREZArbonne just overtook me Copy

Engineerthat checker, we're just checking

EngineerSwap positions with Perez. Overtake Perez. Thank you.

EngineerAnd Lando, in front of you, Perez and Albon have swapped positions.

Alexander ALBONThis guy is such a fool!

EngineerAnd chassis default 52, 5-2, urgent, 5-2.

EngineerWatch V at, watch V at, watch V at. Nice job Esteban, nice job. Scenario 1 please, scenario 1.

EngineerThe DRS has been enabled to raise the height to 1.4 So Lewis we are seeing the gearbox issue on your car, so just look after it

EngineerLast lap was purple Carlos, there's good pace in this car.

Alexander ALBONThe damage it was terrible. I'll

Engineerupdate I'll look

EngineerSo, Lewis, we have a five-second time penalty. Five-second time penalty.

Alexander ALBONMy engines... stopping.

EngineerLando Perez has a five-second penalty Perez will have a five-second penalty

Lando NORRISHe just tuned in on me! What's

Engineerhe

Lando NORRIStrying to do?

EngineerCarlos, engine is hot, let's have a bit of lift and coast to manage the PU, that's more important.

EngineerAnd the first win of the season under your belt so pick up a rubber Yes

Lando NORRISF*** yes! Well I don't know, I don't want

Engineerto

Lando NORRIScelebrate too much here but...

Charles LECLERCWell done, good job Slow button on, slow button on Is it finished? The lights are not red. The race is over, I confirm, race is over, we finished

EngineerYeah!

Charles LECLERCYes! Oh my god, what a race That's probably one of my best performances ever. It was so difficult The restart and everything is so difficult to stay in front of the guys behind especially in the straights But yeah, let's go. Come on P2

EngineerThe

Charles LECLERCroad is too long guys, but anything is possible

EngineerStay

Charles LECLERCmotivated and we will make it

EngineerExactly Charles, just like that. Bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo

Engineerand keep pushing over the line. Can you get HPP 3, position 14? 3, position 14. Okay Lewis, not the best day in the office, so that's P4 after the penalty. Okay Lewis, if you can minimise shifting and you're coming into the pit lane, into park for me.

Lando NORRISLando the gap to Hamilton was 4.8 4.8. I think that's

Engineera

Lando NORRISpodium mate. I think that's a podium Yes, well, I don't know I don't want

Engineerto

Lando NORRIScelebrate too much yet, but Let's wait for it to be confirmed, but yes, what a drive what a race

EngineerWhat

Lando NORRISscenario switch? What scenario switch? Scenario one please scenario one and reach our joff, reach our joff I'm so out of breath I had to go for Perez, but he just doesn't know what he was doing But uh, yeah, you know, I made it more difficult than it should have been But if we do get this boys, thank you so much Awesome work

EngineerI'm P10, Sebastian, P10. Good to drive, I don't know. I had a

Sebastian VETTELvery poor brake stability and very, very, very difficult

Engineerwith the

Sebastian VETTELrear. It was nowhere near the same car as we had two days ago.

EngineerOK, understood. We need to have a proper look into it. Bottas won the race, then Charles P2, because Hamilton got a penalty, five seconds, and Norris, Sainz.

EngineerGreat job your P11 mate, great job your P11, that's a hell of a first race for you, great job mate.

Nicholas LATIFIYeah thank you guys, sorry I couldn't get in amongst the fight there, try and pick up the scraps but yeah, happy with the first Grand Prix, appreciate the effort from everybody.

EngineerYeah that's a great way to stop, great job.

EngineerYeah, great job Carlos. P5 mate, P5. Let's have scenario one, scenario one. Carlos, scenario one, scenario one. Carlos, there's been a bit of a breakdown of social distancing in our garage.

Carlos SAINZYeah, it was tense. Tense, but fine, just fine. I just was scared of going into a yellow sausage when Lando very kindly ran me a bit wide. But yeah, nearly got him, which means a good race. So thanks guys, good operation.

EngineerYeah, good operation Carlos, well done.

EngineerCarlos, Hamilton has a five second penalty, which means Lando finishes on the podium. He finished 4.8 seconds behind Hamilton.

Carlos SAINZOh my God. Congrats to Lando there. Yeah, good job.

EngineerGood job, Antonio. Safe fuel, safe tires.

Antonio GIOVINAZZICopy. Thank you, guys.

EngineerNice job Esteban. Nice job. Points first time out. Excellent work. Thank you very much. We'll do better from a better group position next time. Yeah, good job guys. Scenario 12 please. Scenario 12.

Esteban OCONGood job everyone. It was great race pace. Dakar had a really strong pace in the race so if we start further up we should have no problem. Let's make that happen next week.

EngineerYeah, we will do. Good job mate. Just for interest, Bottas won the race from Leclerc, Norris was P3, Hamilton P4, Sainz P5, Perez P6, Gasly you know P7, yourself P8, Giovinazzi P9 and Vettel P10.

Esteban OCONUnderstood. Well done Esteban. First points in Austria and first points together. Much more to come. Thanks. Yes, only the first ones. Let's get it after that. Merci Cyril.

EngineerAnd we'll see you back at the office mate. Well done.

Esteban OCONThank you guys. Thank you.

EngineerSo where did we finish then? Why did we have the penalty? It's for speeding in the pit lane Checo, speeding in the pit lane Shame guys, we got a drumroll Yeah, copy that, we'll go through that Where did Lance finish? Lance retired Checo, Lance retired Why? It's a car problem, car problem, just looking at it

Pierre GASLYP7! P7! Yes! Yes! What a job there! Oh yes! That feels good! That's amazing guys.

EngineerI

Pierre GASLYthink we can be really proud of that. First race, P7. Some points in the bag. That's what we like.
