Sebastian VETTELAnd in the helmet tool on the grid please. Copy.
Lance STROLLBrad, the left mirror is not in position, do we need to fix that on the grid?
Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, can we can we take take two clicks off?
Pierre GASLYCar is good, tiny bit too understeer, so maybe we do like just a small click on
Engineerthe flap. Ok, we have a chance, bear in mind the tyres.
George RUSSELLJust a minor note for future times we're
Engineeron
George RUSSELLthe grid. Could we tour the left and right wheel at the same time?
EngineerSo
George RUSSELLI'm just not holding the brake for like 20 seconds
Alexander ALBONMy dash is very low brightness.
EngineerOK. Do you want to turn it up brightness?
Alexander ALBONBut like it's not normal, like I can't see the dash.
EngineerOK.
Lewis HAMILTONYou definitely think we need all those burnouts away from loose
EngineerYep, let's
Daniel RICCIARDOgo guys. Happy Sunday.
Lando NORRISI have a bit of contacts, just keep an eye on things.
Audio only, no transcript
Daniel RICCIARDOLet's go Good job, mate
Romain GROSJEANYeah I think the front wing is gone, hardbound complete, he went to the left on the braking
EngineerOK copy that, we're looking
Romain GROSJEANMove on the braking, it's far more dangerous than moving on the straight
Romain GROSJEANOk, at the minute I'm really struggling with the understeer, the rear is coming as well so I guess it will balance itself in a little while, but at the minute it's not amazing.
Audio only, no transcript
George RUSSELLYeah, I can't believe Vettel is smoking from behind, I'm not sure if he's dropping oil or not Vettel rear left is on fire Yeah, Vettel rear left is on fire, he needs the box
Max VERSTAPPENWe are really stuck here. Yeah,
Engineerunderstood, alright. Just be mindful of the rear left IMAX, there'll be opportunities later.
Nicholas LATIFILots of mid-corner understeer entry instability.
Alexander ALBONI can't do much more than I already am.
EngineerCheco Norris ahead is struggling with tyres, our tyres are good, our tyres are getting better.
Daniil KVYATOkay, I'm losing a bit of time definitely being held up
EngineerHow's the front wing? How's the front wing?
Carlos SAINZIt's okay. A bit understeer at the beginning, but now it's back to normal.
EngineerCopy.
Romain GROSJEANOh is the rear looking good, oh is the rear looking, looking, pretty
Engineerstable from the start of the race.
EngineerLando, not urgent, how are the tyres?
Lando NORRISUh, three, three is our biggest problem.
EngineerLando no wider at turn 11 otherwise we'll get a penalty
EngineerOkay, so for information we have been given a five second penalty for squeezing Grosjean I think it was lap two of the race. So we will take that at the pit stop So just get over that and we'll crack on
EngineerI'm
Carlos SAINZstarting to drop a bit of pace, really.
EngineerUnderstood, understood.
Max VERSTAPPENThere's a massive limit over here.
Nicholas LATIFILet me know if there's something I can do to avoid the torque hole exit of 32. It's happening quite a few times.
EngineerAnd Lando, we have had one lap deleted for turn 11.
Lando NORRISConfirmed.
Max VERSTAPPENEven with the TLS open, I'm not even gaining a lot.
Carlos SAINZYeah, there was some oil on the truck.
EngineerCopy, copy.
EngineerSafety car deployed, stay positive, slow button on, slow button on Where
Charles LECLERCdoes the safety car have to be now?
EngineerNobody pits in front? Pit lane entry is closed
EngineerSo Antonio, we'll get a penalty.
Antonio GIOVINAZZIWhich penalty we got? Probably
Engineera 10 seconds.
Carlos SAINZYeah, I would say if we did a good job, guys, we could get both cars on the podium. So let's get working together to move past this field and then fight it out at the end.
Carlos SAINZFellas, it's a red flag. Red flag. F***. Lucky, lucky f***ers. F***. Why do they put red flag? Come on. Let us race, please.
EngineerSo, Valtteri, the cooling situation will be better, but will not be solved.
EngineerSession will restart at 16.20. 16.20, 10 and a half minutes. Normal countdown will be given.
Nicholas LATIFIIf it is standing start, and I do obviously all the exact same procedures, will I run into the same issue again with the battery draining?
EngineerI think that's a negative I think that's a negative don't think about what could happen but think about what do you have to do right now please let's try to bring the calm a bit down for the boys seven minutes
Alexander ALBONI've got no hope for these hogs!
EngineerOk understood, they will get better, they are still cool, they will get hotter and it will improve.
EngineerWe are not fast enough to start looking after the tires, if they are not fast or they don't. Sure, don't worry, your lap time is still good, so keep pushing.
Lewis HAMILTONYou
Engineerare the fastest man on track by a big margin.
EngineerOK, so for info, Hamilton had a penalty for pitting when the pit lane was shut. He's going to catch you in a couple of laps, he's on hard tyres behind.
EngineerSo two seconds ahead to Albon and just remember the timing of your overtake push not to waste too much energy.
Nicholas LATIFIJust keep me updated on the gap behind so I can manage.
Lewis HAMILTONI can't, I've got nothing there.
George RUSSELLMcCartney was really good guys, they just made up a straight line speed
EngineerCopy, keep doing what you're doing on the mode
Daniel RICCIARDOOkay, understood. Tyre's took a bit of a hit the last two laps. I'll let him recover.
Romain GROSJEANI have my, the drink hasn't been connected and it comes behind my shoulder, it's mega f***ing painful.
EngineerYou're racing Hamilton, mate. You're racing Hamilton.
Carlos SAINZYou're a bit of dirty air now.
EngineerThat's two warnings on track limits at turn 11, two warnings on track limits at turn 11.
Antonio GIOVINAZZIBrake pedal become really low Check if it's all okay
Audio only, no transcript
EngineerWe are good with tires, good with tires to push a bit more in turn 6, turn 11.
EngineerLast lap round, 0.7 quicker than Raikkonen dude, you're reeling him in, let's get him.
EngineerSo I'll give you our next car ahead, 2.5 on the medium tyre.
EngineerScience 1.4, battery is medium-high, you can click overtake when you need.
EngineerWhat position am I in? Currently a P8
EngineerHey dude, that's the checker, that's the checker. You see a bit of a difficult car this afternoon but good drive from you man. There was some good passing there, nice job mate.
Romain GROSJEANThanks bro, yeah thanks. Yeah, the restyle was very interesting, I had so much grip but the restyle was really good. And then things got a bit more complicated.
EngineerCheckered flag, P3 Lance, well done, great drive mate, take the pick up, take the pick up.
Lance STROLLGood job guys, nice one, start wasn't great from P2, she had no grip on the launch.
EngineerSo, Lance P3, Lance P3.
Sergio PEREZWell, at least a good result for the team. Good job guys, congratulations.
EngineerHey, I'm P9, Dani, P9. And cool the brakes, cool the brakes. And for information, Gasly won the race.
EngineerOk Esteban, fantastic job there, fantastic job, well done mate. P8 from P12, that's not bad at all. Daniel P6, good points for the team again. Well done mate. Yeah, copy. I disagree, I think we missed out completely this race. There was a massive... Ok, just hold it on the radio please, hold it on the radio. We'll talk about it in the office, thank you. No, we have to face... Please, do not... Esteban, this is not the place.
Daniel RICCIARDOI think we had a decent car, yeah I think we got some good feedback so sorry I couldn't get a bit closer to Bodass, thanks guys.
