Lewis HAMILTONMy drink spout is leaking out of

Engineerthe

Lewis HAMILTONtube. Yeah,

EngineerOK, copy.

EngineerAnd box Romain, sorry confirm Romain that you're going to the grid, you're going to the grid now

Romain GROSJEANYep,

Engineeryou're too used that we start on the pit lane

Pierre GASLYOkay, a bit of understeer turn 4 apex And also turn 13 Rest of the lap is pretty good

EngineerCheck the drink system because the pipe came off on its own

George RUSSELLWhat do you think's going on at turn four? I had

Engineera

George RUSSELLcouple of lock-ups there, more than normal. The balance actually felt a bit more consistent through three and four versus quali.

EngineerGeorge, I think the wind strength has dropped quite a bit. I'll check on the wind map.

George RUSSELLCopy. You sound pretty loud, by the way, James, on that ahead of the set.

Max VERSTAPPENI don't know about you guys, but it feels a bit more relaxing this time around preparing the car.

EngineerAre you okay, Kevin? Are you okay?

Kevin MAGNUSSENYeah, I'm good.

EngineerOkay, sorry man. Just remember to go P1 then P0.

Alexander ALBONI don't know where you're expecting me to go to be honest

EngineerHow does the front left corner feel Alex? It

Alexander ALBONfeels okay, I mean, I had a bit of vibration. Yeah, I have like maybe a fat spot or something. Okay, so I'm going to drive closer to the pit wall and have a look if we can.

Alexander ALBONWe have damage concern

EngineerOK, understood Box, Alex, box, box this lap, box this lap

EngineerSo brakes are fine and you're closing the gap to ghastly at by three tenths good job so far keep pushing

EngineerCarlos we see the first signs of graining on the front left that's expected but you need to keep managing it

EngineerCarlos, field is quite compressed at the moment, field is quite compressed, so we're looking for plan A target lap.

EngineerGap almost 7 seconds now behind. Fairly consistent 3 tenths loss to the Mercs but it's very good pace Max. We know our goal here so just make sure we achieve it.

EngineerLando, if we can look after the front left a bit and keep Stroll behind, that will be good for us.

Lando NORRISIt's going to be a struggle.

EngineerOh,

Daniil KVYATguys. I'm so f***ing sorry.

EngineerAre you okay, Danny?

Daniil KVYATYes.

EngineerStay out, stay out, stay out, stay out, stay out. It's too f***ing late now, for f***'s sake. Copy, copy. There's no way that it was a good f***ing thing to come in here. Okay, he's okay, give me.

EngineerThe only comparison we had was maybe carrying a little bit too much apex speed at six and seven Could have focused a little bit more on your exits there. Otherwise, very good

Max VERSTAPPENWell, I mean, I'm not really risking anything so

EngineerThere's your answer. Okay. Thank you

EngineerBig split between

Lewis HAMILTONthe left and right

EngineerYeah, copy Lewis that does tend to return as soon as you get going

Lewis HAMILTONThe safety car needs to speed up, this is just

Engineertoo

Lewis HAMILTONslow for us.

EngineerWe need to work on the tires, front and rear.

Charles LECLERCI'm trying and the safety car is going so slow.

Lewis HAMILTONI can't get any temperature in the rears.

EngineerYeah, copy Lewis, there's not a lot of brake energy here I'm afraid.

Lando NORRISDaniel's leaving way more than 10 car lengths, he leaves a massive gap to Carlos, like 3, 4, 5 seconds and then pushes

EngineerUnderstood

EngineerOK, need to stay closer to signs, Daniel. 10 car lengths max.

Daniel RICCIARDOOK, yep, understood.

EngineerCarlos' last lap was over the limits in Turn 9, that's one strike.

EngineerAnd Lando, we have one warning for track limits, turn nine.

EngineerIt's

George RUSSELLkind of a crow's bank. Stability is all over the place.

Carlos SAINZYou've changed direction. Dangerous driving.

EngineerOh my god. Copy. We saw it. We saw it.

Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, just struggling with the front

Carlos SAINZHe did it again.

EngineerYeah, we saw it again. Deep breath, Carlos. It's okay now.

EngineerAnd Lando we have one warning for track limits turn nine. I shouldn't give the warning.

Lando NORRISI tried going round the outside of Carlos and I gave him way and I let him through after going off.

EngineerIt's cool mate, forget about it, concentrate on our race.

EngineerOkay, that's Grosjean. Let's go get him.

Kimi RAIKKONENI don't know what the f*** happened tonight. Yeah, we are checking the other case.

EngineerOkay Kimi, that was a big gust tailwind there.

Max VERSTAPPENWhat's going on in turn 3 and 4, is there a moment?

EngineerConfirm increased gust, entry to 3 and throughfall.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, let's take quite a bit of time there.

EngineerWhat

Kimi RAIKKONENthe f**k is happening with the rear, Simon?

EngineerThe wind is increasing a lot. Everybody's complaining.

EngineerFor

George RUSSELLwhatever reason, those laps following Raikkonen were much, much easier than at the start of the race.

Nicholas LATIFII'll use the overtake when I feel I have an opportunity. You don't need to remind me about the overtake, but

Engineerthere's

Nicholas LATIFIno sense in burning it if I don't feel I can pass right away.

Pierre GASLYThat was nice!

EngineerWe've got the black and white flag for moving under braking on sites into 15 Are

Romain GROSJEANyou kidding me? Oh, let's off of the truck

Max VERSTAPPENRemember to drink, tweet me, remember to drink.

EngineerThank you.

EngineerLando gapped Carlos currently 2.7, can we make it 2?

Lando NORRISWell I don't want to kill my front left. I don't want to just go round cruising behind him and just destroy my front left tyre.

EngineerI understand, we're trying to protect against Ricardo once he gets past Grosjean.

Lance STROLLIs the Haas ever going to stop, or is it going to the end?

Daniel RICCIARDOYep, that was sketchy.

EngineerI

Lance STROLLhave nothing left!

EngineerYou've got loads of energy left, press the energy button.

EngineerHow

Lance STROLLmany times a lap can I push energy?

EngineerNow just once, now just once a lap.

EngineerOk Niki, we have 8 laps of upper mode left, 8 laps, it is good. Do we want to use it now? Or

Nicholas LATIFIdo we want to save for when Grosjean catches? We

Engineeruse now, we use now.

Valtteri BOTTASThe vibration is getting a bit worse. It's not a flat, but it just vibrates.

EngineerAlbon behind us is on fresh option catching us. We do not want to lose time because of him.

Nicholas LATIFII'm not a lot down to him though. He has to pass me off merit, no?

Carlos SAINZOkay, full focus now.

EngineerAnd suggest coming rear with some brake balance?

Daniel RICCIARDOYep, yeah just when I get that bit close to the front goes. Ok, understood.

Nicholas LATIFIAnd what's my current pace advantage? Is the pace okay?

EngineerYour pace is quicker, your pace is quicker, but we need three tenths more, three tenths more.

EngineerGood job dude Latifi eight seconds up the road you're two seconds quicker than him

Max VERSTAPPENI'm

Engineera

Max VERSTAPPENlittle afraid for this right front tyre, what do you think?

EngineerWe're monitoring it and we are happy mate, we're happy, temperatures look good and the tyre surface looks fine.

Lando NORRISCarlos needs to get a move on, otherwise I'm starting to struggle more and Carlos is going to put me under pressure.

EngineerUnderstood Lando, we're telling Carlos now.

Carlos SAINZYeah, a lot of vibrations on the car, I don't know why.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerKennedy for M4, 6 laps to go, and Grosjean within 6.

Nicholas LATIFIIf he's not going to catch me, I don't want to hear about Grosjean. Just keep me updated on him in front, nothing else. Let me focus.

EngineerYes baby!

Kimi RAIKKONENYeah, I don't know, something broke in the front. Okay, if you feel it's not safe... No, I said something broke in the front left. There was some smoke from the left front and like something just came up. Okay, we try to change the tire and the nose and we go again. No, but I don't think it's from the nose or tire, it's something physically broke.

EngineerOkay, we retire, we

Kimi RAIKKONENretire, we retire. Have a look what it is. Okay, stop, stop. Left front, left front cone.

EngineerStop, stop.

Kimi RAIKKONENWhat stop? Me stop or... No, no, wait, wait, all okay, all okay, all okay, all okay. Go, go, go.

EngineerSo please don't go for fastest lap, we just need to get the car home, tyre integrity is the predominant thing.

EngineerCan

Max VERSTAPPENwe win this?

EngineerI think I have a minute.

EngineerHamilton's got a puncture ahead, he's slow at turn 9. Possible debris 8 to 9.

EngineerIs that the last lap? That's it mate, you've done it, you've done it! Well, that's it mate.

EngineerHe's a lucky boy, he's a lucky boy.

Lewis HAMILTONThat was close.

EngineerThat was good. That was good. That was a strong race. I think it's a very good race to learn. Very good job, mate. Yeah.

Nicholas LATIFIYeah, I think some positives. Car was feeling pretty good in most of the track. Bestest felt in race conditions, so I think we could learn a lot from this one.

EngineerWow that was close guys. Yeah I was about to say the same mate, that was a close call, too close for comfort But yeah, awesome work mate. The tyre was looking, the tyre was feeling fine and I

Lewis HAMILTONmust have hit something on the track

EngineerOK, checkered flag P12, P12, let's get green 6, position 14, green 6, position 14.

George RUSSELLYeah, the last three laps was really, really bad. Not too sure how much longer it would have lasted.

Charles LECLERCHamilton won with being on the rim?

EngineerYes,

Charles LECLERCfront left. Wow, that's crazy. That's crazy. Well done guys, T3. Happy with this. Very happy with this. We definitely did not expect it before the race weekend.

EngineerWoohoo! Awesome job mate. P4, nice job. Nice,

Daniel RICCIARDOnice, nice. Thank you.

EngineerGot

Daniel RICCIARDOa bit exciting at the end. Alright, thank you guys. Merci.

EngineerOkay, dude, that's the checker. That's the checker Good drive from you man. Good drive. There's some really good laps in there That was some really good pace, especially on that first tire and the second tire as well. Really good job, man I've never f***ing driven a race like this on the F17. I can't believe it Nothing left f***ing nothing left every lap hundred percent. Good job. Good dude. Good job

Lando NORRISYeah, I couldn't do a lot more. I was struggling behind Carlos with the fronts.

EngineerYeah, so

Lando NORRISit was tough, but good race, good points. Unlucky for Carlos, but I will try again next week.

EngineerFantastic job Esteban, fantastic job, well done mate, brilliant job, awesome. Awesome, good fight. That was fantastic, well done mate, really well controlled.

Antonio GIOVINAZZIYeah guys, thank you for the pit stop. It was really good and fast. Thank you very much.

Kimi RAIKKONENPushed it to the left front, tight.

EngineerOkay, the tire went away. Okay, you have now Gasly, Stroll, 2 seconds. Okay, blue flag for Gasly. Okay, to push, Kimi, okay. Okay, signs ahead. And we have solid blue flag for... And we have solid blue flag for Gasly now. And sock 3. And blue flag. And blue flag for Stroll. Okay, Kimi, that's the checkered flag. Sorry about the race, it was not the best. And, Kimi, remember the full switch-up procedure. Okay, Kimi, that's the checkered flag.

EngineerOkay Kimi, that's the checkout flag. Sorry about the race, it was not the best.

Pierre GASLYYES! YES! That feels nice! Good job Pierre! Amazing race! Amazing race! YES! Oh yes!

EngineerF***

Pierre GASLYYES! Thanks guys! Grazie mille a tutti! Sono contentissimo! YES! Did you enjoy the overtakings? As much as I did! Really, really good! Thank you mate! Thanks a lot! No, thanks to all of you guys! Honestly, we did a very good job this weekend! I'm happy we're making step forward every race!

EngineerSo,

Pierre GASLYlet's keep going and we'll be able to enjoy some more strong races like this! Ah! This kind of race, that's why I like racing! That was good! And thanks Honda for the power! Honestly, it was amazing as well!

EngineerYeah!

Pierre GASLYYeah! Let's try to do even better next week if we can!

EngineerOkay, Lance, that's P9, P9. So unlucky, Lance. I think we've got a lot to analyse.

EngineerOk Carlos, that's the chequered flag. Let's have scenario one, scenario one. Finished P14 mate, should have been P4. There's been a few cars with punches. Both Mercedes got punches on the final laps. Hamilton won the race with no front tyre. Come

Carlos SAINZon, we need a bit of luck guys.

EngineerSo Carlos, remember to use the drinks on this lap. Come

Carlos SAINZon, P4, 12 points.

EngineerP2 mate and fastest lap, hard lap. That was a really, really, really well-managed race, just very unfortunate, really unfortunate, really well-managed mate, excellent.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, well done mate. Yeah, we did good, we did good. It could have happened on the last lap and you gave it everything, well done.

EngineerYeah,

Max VERSTAPPENyeah, not bad, not bad, good points, good podium. Yeah, we did well, oh this is so, I mean, you should be happy with second when you have this. Anyway, still good.

EngineerP10, P10, sorry, all those punctures at the end, so Hamilton had a puncture in the last lap, but still won it, and Vestapen second, 5.8 seconds, then Charles, Ricciardo, Norris, Ocon. Hi

Sebastian VETTELSeb, Mattia, tough race today, we know it has been a difficult weekend, but we got in a week time, we are back here, we'll do better.

EngineerOK, that's a checkered flag. So we finished P8 in the end. P8. Nice job. It was a bit tricky there, timing of safety car and things like that, and the penalty had us right over. But it was a good drive, good overtakes, nice and clean.

Alexander ALBONYeah, thank you, guys.

EngineerOK, so quite a few people, as you may have seen, had punctures. Hamilton finished with a puncture. He got it on the last lap and he crossed the line with a puncture. So Max finished six seconds behind him. So Bottas had a puncture, Sainz had a puncture. There was a few going on.
