EngineerOn a reminder, the clips will be different on the laps to grid. Clips will be unrepresentative. They will be larger.

EngineerSo track temp on track looks 40

EngineerAnd Carlos, how's the front wing? I

Carlos SAINZtell you in two corners, but I think okay. Copy.

EngineerRecharge button on, recharge button on and please cool the car as much as possible, cool the car as much as possible

EngineerSo same as last week, was really good formation lap, I won't be waiting on to push on the tires as soon as you are 15 minutes off.

Pierre GASLYCopy, let me know about the wind direction if it changes during the race.

EngineerHey, Lando. Just a quick update on tyres. Hamilton, Verstappen, Sainz, Bottas, Ocon, Albon, all of them on soft. Gasly on soft. In front of you, Ricciardo, on medium. Behind you, Vettel, medium. Russell, Stroll, on soft. Kvyat, medium. Leclerc, Magnussen, on medium. Sorry, Leclerc is a soft. Magnussen is a soft. And Raikkonen is a medium. Nobody has a hard one. Cheers! You're welcome.

Charles LECLERCCheck the copies copy

Engineerwill do

EngineerStay hard right turn three max stay hard right at ten three

Sebastian VETTELOK, I have damaged somebody, took off my rear wing.

EngineerOK, box.

Sebastian VETTELCopy, box. I don't know who that was. Box, box. Safety car. Safety car and box. Yeah, I'm coming in. I'm going to slow down.

EngineerVerstappen at 1.4

EngineerOK, just a reminder about looking after the tyres. No problems at the moment, but it's the long haul.

EngineerAnd same lap time as Verstappen.

EngineerSo only lost for Staffan is turn 3 minimum speed and also a bit more management from you turn 9

EngineerGood job, start reeling him in little by little, then do it all in one go.

EngineerAlso, your rear surface temp's not representative.

Lance STROLLHow are the tires? Do they feel hot?

EngineerThe tires are okay, but brakes are hot at the moment. Brakes are hot.

EngineerHamilton 8.7, Ewer 8.8 and Bottas 8.6, Albon 9.8.

EngineerSuggest the open modifier for turns 6, 7, 9 and 10.

EngineerHow are the tyres? How are the tyres? Tyres are good.

Esteban OCONCopy

Engineerthat. And how is your pace? How is your pace? How much in hand?

Esteban OCONQuite a bit.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerOk Kimi, everything looks good on our side, tyres and brakes, so keep pushing.

EngineerOkay Lewis, so currently lap 17, so just keep building that gap.

EngineerAnd just think about the straight braking at turn three.

EngineerShow me on your dash how the tires are.

Valtteri BOTTASFor now, getting to the target is no issue from my side.

EngineerAnd how about the tyres?

Daniel RICCIARDOYep, all OK.

EngineerA

Daniel RICCIARDObit more front-tick at the moment, but it might clear.

EngineerOK, understood.

EngineerExcellent job mate, excellent job. So let's build the gap on Gasny, let's look ahead to Perez, let's catch him up. Currently thinking plan A, looking to extend.

Lando NORRISYeah, got that.

Alexander ALBONSomething fell off around my helmet and it went straight down to the bottom of the pedals.

EngineerStay to the right hand side of the white line of pit entry.

Lewis HAMILTONAnd we think he'll be

Engineerone and a half seconds faster on the new tyre But we're monitoring it

Alexander ALBONSomething fell off around my helmet and it went straight down to the bottom of the pedals.

Alexander ALBONI think we're okay. I don't see it moving around.

Carlos SAINZOkay, take a look at the gulf, but I am good with a dive.

Max VERSTAPPENPersonally, I don't really care why we're boxed, I mean he's on a different tyre.

EngineerJust protecting against the undercut Max, protecting against the undercut. Yeah, I get that, but anyway, doesn't

Max VERSTAPPENmatter.

Engineerand remember you're in your VSCN safety car windows if you see that you just come in

EngineerThat was your best lap so far. Keep doing it.

EngineerSo same pace as Verstappen on a medium.

Engineerand remember you're in your VSCN safety car windows if you see that you just come in

EngineerAnd Lando, this will become the Germany situation.

EngineerOh, Mando, Carlos has pitted. Carlos has pitted.

EngineerLando, how are the tyres? How are the tyres?

Lando NORRISThey're hanging on, R3, but yeah, they seem OK for now.

EngineerLando, do you think you can give us one more?

Lando NORRISYeah.

Carlos SAINZI'm running out of battery.

EngineerScenario 8. Scenario 8.

EngineerWe need liftoff turn 3 and 4. Liftoff turn 3, 4.

Carlos SAINZYeah, I need to recover the tire. I've destroyed it in those stand-ups.

EngineerCopy, copy, no problem.

Daniil KVYATYeah, my tide is nicer than his.

EngineerSo Lando Ricciardo is in P5, P5 he's on softs. If we do max pace, max pace to the end we might catch him.

EngineerYou are quicker than the cars in this train ahead, we're closing them down.

EngineerSo that lap was four tenths faster than Ricciardo, four tenths faster.

EngineerOk Carlos, gap to Lando now 6 seconds and ahead of you Ricciardo has just been overtaken by Perez, there's chances here.

Carlos SAINZCar is very difficult in turn 1.

Max VERSTAPPENDriveability is not that good out of Turn 3.

EngineerUnderstood, stand by.

EngineerOK, sector 3 was good, that's what we need. Still time to find in turn 4.

Carlos SAINZ10-3 mid-corner, exit.

EngineerIt's a good lap Carlos good step in turn four and seven same again if you can

EngineerOk, good job, you have DRS from Antonio, that will help us.

Charles LECLERCIs everything fine on the rear so

Engineerwe see some damage on the floor

EngineerSo check it, you're still catching about 8 tenths a lap, 8 tenths a lap, you've got 5 laps of this engine left, and safety car window is open, safety car window open.

EngineerOK Max, I know you're pushing, but at this rate Bottas could be close to us with 2 or 3 laps to go.

Lance STROLLI need engine copy

Engineerthat Lance strat 7 strat 7 to charge some more

EngineerIt's another three tenths on those cars ahead, dude.

Antonio GIOVINAZZISwap position now. Grosjean behind is getting closer. Swap position is coming. Good, I try.

EngineerSwap position now.

EngineerThis space you're gonna catch with four laps to go

Daniel RICCIARDOGot quite a bit more pace at the moment than the cars ahead. Understood.

Kimi RAIKKONENSo what do you want to do?

EngineerEh, stomp by.

Kimi RAIKKONENI will attack him soon anyhow. Okay, copy.

Max VERSTAPPENAh, what the f***,

Engineerall

Max VERSTAPPENthe time turn 3, I'm not even using the pull toggle.

EngineerYep, understood. Tailwind has picked up into turn 3 quite a bit, also turn 1. Next lap, try the push toggle, push toggle turn 3.

EngineerBoost on please Max, boost on.

EngineerDanny we need half a second more liftoff, half a second more liftoff

EngineerGap to stroll is 3.6

Lando NORRISYeah, I don't need the gap anymore, I can see it

EngineerThis is good stuff Max, keep it up mate, same pace as Hamilton

EngineerOkay, we'll swap into turn three just get close enough

EngineerCarlos fastest lap is a 107.0 we're considering a pit stop to go for that

Daniel RICCIARDOHow are we on fuel?

EngineerWe're all good, we're all good. Do what you can, but we're good.

Max VERSTAPPENNo, but you have to let me know that the guys are arriving here, it's f***ing dangerous.

EngineerYeah, I recommend you let Grosjean through, let Grosjean through and we'll fall back to our box.

EngineerOK, race info update, Max. Both Mercedes drivers being instructed to push.

Max VERSTAPPENWhat do you want me to do?

EngineerAs you are. I know you're pushing.

EngineerThis is excellent stuff Audrey, close that gap and we'll make your race.

EngineerFantastic result Valtteri, great job, great, great job. Well done guys, good work. That's the 1-2 for Mercedes, first of the year.

EngineerCheckered flag. Fail. 84. Fail. Fail. 8. 4. Fail. Good job, mate. Well done.

Alexander ALBONYep. Cheers, guys. Thank you.

EngineerWell done, Alex. Very good second half of the race. No mistakes. Well done.

Alexander ALBONThanks, Christian.

EngineerYeah, top effort, Alex. Good job. Final win for us. Well done, mate. It

Alexander ALBONjust seems like they're really quick in the straights. It's quite hard to manage the battery. Yeah,

Engineerso

Alexander ALBONit seems like when we just had a bit too much understeer, so once the reasonable touch of power came to life.

EngineerYeah, copy. Understood. We were watching your front rear on both sets. In the middle of your medium stint, we did see some rear wing end plate damage, which affected your aero.

Max VERSTAPPENPersonally I don't really care why we're boxed, I mean he's on a different tyre.

EngineerJust protecting against the undercut Max, protecting against the undercut. Yeah I get that, but anyway, doesn't

Max VERSTAPPENmatter.

EngineerWell done Carlos, so that's P8 mate, P8 plus fastest lap

EngineerOk Pierre, we will have to review what happened today. Sorry for that. I

Pierre GASLYwill speak later.

Kimi RAIKKONENIs it last lap? Hello?

EngineerYes, FM, sorry, it's last lap. How

Kimi RAIKKONENfar is the class behind?

Engineer1.8 seconds. OK, Kimi, that's a checker. So, mode 4, maximum fuel saving. Mode 4, maximum fuel saving. Very slow in lap, please, very slow in lap. And pick up rubber. Yeah, OK, understood. OK, P11, P11. We

Kimi RAIKKONENhad the speed, but we didn't have the fuel.

EngineerWe'll

Kimi RAIKKONENtalk later. Yeah, yeah, let's talk later. We could have easily catch the car, but what we had to do is impossible.

EngineerCopy that.

EngineerMaximum fuel saving now, that's the end of the race, maximize fuel saving, mode FL, mode FL maximize fuel saving.

Antonio GIOVINAZZICopy.

Max VERSTAPPENI mean, what's the point?

Lewis HAMILTONBoth sets of tires feel softer today. I feel like they're having a harder time.

EngineerOkay, copy. Thank you.

Max VERSTAPPENI mean what's the point for pit when I'm in traffic?

EngineerFail 84 please Max, fail 84. I think they were just a bit quicker than us today Max. They were going to take the undercut so we covered and then they had the pace to go longer so you gave everything. We got a bit of front and rear wing damage as well unfortunately.

EngineerPerez ahead has a problem, Perez ahead has a problem

Daniel RICCIARDOI saw him at the apex at the last moment, if I turn in we crash

EngineerOk understood mate, understood

Daniel RICCIARDOI'll explain the rest later, something happened after the stop, I'll explain after

EngineerOk understood Anyway mate, points on the board, not as many as we deserved but good race mate

Daniel RICCIARDOYep, thank you Yep, understood And

Engineerincident, incident on turn 3 is under investigation

Sergio PEREZDid you like that one, man?

Esteban OCONCopy box

EngineerOkay, Esteban, we're retiring the car. We are retiring the car. I'm very sorry What's going on? We have a car problem. That means we have to stop We are back on plan F I'll tell you when you're out of the car Esteban

EngineerYes, good lad good lad

Romain GROSJEANYeah, okay, can we swap back? I don't understand why we don't swap, good second

Romain GROSJEANthat's the checker that's the checker good drive from you man some good overtaking there good day man nice one yeah okay let's talk later because i don't really want to say anything right now just that uh you did a good job boys the car was much much better than the friday shame we didn't start there obviously we need to improve that because we lost all friday but today the car was much better some mutation of course but much better copy that we use this our baseline nice one dude thank you nice

Engineerone roman grande good drive we'll get from here the better

EngineerSee a damage on rear deflector 10 points down

EngineerAt this pace we're going to catch him on the last lap.

EngineerThere will be opportunities. There's a good stuff Valtteri. I'll be quiet you push

EngineerJust so you're aware we have picked up quite a bit of front wing damage to the right hand side.

Max VERSTAPPENAlright, disavowability out of 10-3 is shocking.

Max VERSTAPPENI have not much left of my rear tyres.

EngineerOK, understood Max.

EngineerAwesome job, Lewis. Looked like an easy ride there for you, mate. It was beautifully managed. Beautifully managed. What

Lewis HAMILTONa fantastic job, guys. Really, really so impressed. Thank you so much. Lewis, your driving wasn't bad either. Thanks, Toto.

Daniil KVYATThank you. Grazie mille tutti. Very nice race. Thank you. My first points in Red Bull Ring. Thank you. The race was mega. We deserved a lot more than P10 as a team.

EngineerP5! P5! Scenario 1 please, Scenario 1! F*** I like it! What a race! What a race! Yes mate! Yes! Yeah boys! F*** I like it, we deserved that one eh? That is racing mate, that is racing, well done!

EngineerAh,

Sergio PEREZsorry guys

EngineerGood effort. Wow,

Lance STROLLit was so hard to get past him.

EngineerOK, checkered flag, checkered flag, P16, we need a green 6, position 14, green 6, position 14.

George RUSSELLApparently sorry about that guys, levels higher down today, I'll bounce back next week, apologies, apologies.

EngineerCopy that, difficult most of the afternoon but well managed on the mode though.

EngineerCheckered flag, checkered flag, go in, go in. It was not an easy one, but that was a good one. Base was consistent, and I think there was a good time management.

Nicholas LATIFIYeah, it's just difficult to, I mean, at the end, obviously, the tires were still okay, but the first laps on the second stint just felt like pushing any harder, and I was going to massively overheat them. At the end, they obviously stabilized, and then I could push quite hard, but, yeah, just at the beginning, I was scared to overdo it.

EngineerCopy, copy, that's part of the learning phase. I think it was a solid job today, mate.

EngineerCheckered flag Kevin checkered flag P12 Kevin P12 great drive with that broken car man. I think it's uh. I think it had a hard time, so He drove really well Very challenging race I can see
