    EngineerYeah, try Antonio, try. So try to get out and back to the grid

  6. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo09:35:200:11

    EngineerOk, straight out, so be careful, turn 2, 3, that's double yellow, Antonio is stuck in the gravel there, between 2 and 3.

  7. Antonio GIOVINAZZIAlfa Romeo09:35:430:13

    EngineerHow are track conditions, Antonio?

    Antonio GIOVINAZZINo, no for inter.

    EngineerSo, OK for inter, question? No, no. OK, copy.

  8. Carlos SAINZMcLaren09:37:390:06

    Antonio GIOVINAZZISomeone can help you? Yeah, we will help, so stay in the car, they

    Engineerbring you back and then on the go we let you know.

  11. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes09:39:070:08

    Lewis HAMILTONjust keeping an eye on rear brakes because they're ready to be warm. I don't need this guys.

  12. George RUSSELLWilliams09:39:280:13

    George RUSSELLI've crashed.

    EngineerGo

    George RUSSELLand walk in speed.

    EngineerThis is

    George RUSSELLridiculous.

  13. Nicholas LATIFIWilliams09:39:520:19

    Nicholas LATIFIIt's too far forward, I mean I can't hit the brakes hard.

    EngineerOk, ok. Then go back, minus two, minus two, and we need to try to generate temperature. Focus singly on the brake for the last lap. And you drive through the pit lane for one more lap, drive through the pit lane for one more lap.

  14. George RUSSELLWilliams09:40:270:11

    George RUSSELLYeah, sorry guys, but absolutely unbelievable. There's no grip whatsoever. It's undriveable. Absolutely undriveable.

  15. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull09:41:090:15

    EngineerOK, as I say, Giovinazzi is off track, middle of turn 2, left hand side, so he's off to yellows through 2 and 3, you need to be really cautious through there please.

  16. Antonio GIOVINAZZIAlfa Romeo09:41:290:10

    EngineerNow go slowly back to the grid slowly on the grid the fronting might fall so slowly back

  17. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo10:00:270:07

    EngineerSafety car lights are off so it's a normal start.

  18. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes10:02:060:11

    EngineerSir Lewis by now we ought to have had notification that if we are starting behind the safety car haven't had that so expecting a normal start

  19. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes10:02:220:06

    Audio only, no transcript

  20. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes10:02:540:12

    EngineerSir Lewis, by now we ought to have had notification that if we are starting behind the safety car, haven't had that, so expecting a normal start.

  21. Charles LECLERCFerrari10:05:240:15

    Engineerso when we fill up the engine we'll have the turbo engagement okay then we do a bite point and we need heat limiter on and reminder good warm-up on the brakes

  22. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes10:06:000:25

    Engineerup quite quick so

    Lewis HAMILTONthose pools being dry quite quick I reckon yeah

    EngineerLouis just be mindful that even though the track may be drying quite quickly that pit entry is still going to be lethal with no cars running on it so just be careful don't want to touch a wall or anything

  23. Alexander ALBONRed Bull10:07:210:41

    EngineerOK Alexa, I'll talk you through whilst we're waiting for that telemetry to come through. All your switches are set. We haven't done any brake bounce offset from the laps to the grid, so that's all the same. We'll do the start here with the pit limiter off. And sync all the gears on the rear end, just check on your dash what you've got synced. Remember, use gear 1 when you can. It should help you out to the start. As usual, minimise full throttle time. No potter on. No potter. And work your tyres where you can. At the end of the formation lap, we want to do burnouts from the last corner exit.

  24. Daniel RICCIARDORenault10:08:410:14

    EngineerSo at the moment there's nothing obvious on the radar anymore, coming

    Daniel RICCIARDOour way, so... And

    Engineerin terms of tyres, everybody extreme wet, only Williams are on Intis.

  25. Daniel RICCIARDORenault10:10:290:11

    EngineerAnd obviously this will be a crazy race, but I'll stay focused and f*** some s***.

  26. George RUSSELLWilliams10:12:310:05

    EngineerStrolls approaching the grid

  27. Lando NORRISMcLaren10:13:530:05

  28. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo10:15:020:05

    EngineerK2 off, K2 off

  29. Esteban OCONRenault10:16:380:22

    EngineerBottas two times, crashing to me! Unbelievable! OK Esteban, understood, but less focus, there's a long way... The car's damaged now! Now the car is crashed! What's the problem? Steering, question? Yeah, steering, yeah, yeah. OK. Yeah, it's a game of puncture, puncture, puncture. Yep. Box, please, it's a puncture. We'll change tyres and you may be able to go again.

  30. Nicholas LATIFIWilliams10:17:320:19

    Nicholas LATIFII'm in the gravel

    EngineerOk, just focus on bringing back the temperature Stay on track, focus on that Ocon has pit in, I think he will switch to the enter I think you're on the right tyre mate So focus on no mistakes, stay on track

  31. Daniil KVYATAlphaTauri10:18:370:11

    Daniil KVYATYeah, but he's cutting the corner every f***ing lap. Of course he's gaining on me.

    EngineerCome on, give him the penalty. Take back on press and hold.

  32. Romain GROSJEANHaas10:19:180:14

    Romain GROSJEANSo how good your mirrors are that we have Bottas very close behind racing? Yeah, he's breaking a little bit my balls, but I guess he does his race, but he's...

  33. Romain GROSJEANHaas10:19:500:11

    Romain GROSJEANI really don't know what you're doing me. Oh, yeah, I don't get much reading here

  34. Esteban OCONRenault10:20:430:17

    Esteban OCONUnbelievable, twice unbelievable.

    EngineerThat's not exactly true Esteban, I'll tell you later. 11 seconds to Russell, 11 seconds to Russell. Yes let's just focus Esteban, there is a long way to go in this race, long way to go.

  35. Lance STROLLRacing Point10:20:470:06

    EngineerIt's

    Lance STROLLdrying up

  36. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes10:21:090:05

    Lewis HAMILTONDon't give me new tires again man, that's not the right idea

  37. Esteban OCONRenault10:21:160:06

    Esteban OCONThe butter's two times crushing to me. Unbelievable.

  38. Lance STROLLRacing Point10:21:420:18

    Lance STROLLGo one, go one. How many laps do you think you're plus? How much am I plus? Give me the gap.

    EngineerSix

    Lance STROLLplus six seconds. Okay, no stress, no stress.

  39. Esteban OCONRenault10:22:290:08

    EngineerHow's the pace compared to cars in front? Very good Esteban, very good pace, in fact you're almost the quickest car on track.

  40. Sergio PEREZRacing Point10:23:140:13

    EngineerIt's

    Sergio PEREZgetting better now, getting better in the front, close the pace.

    EngineerJacko you're still, you're joint with Lance on that last lap, good pace.

  41. Carlos SAINZMcLaren10:23:440:05

    EngineerGood stuff Carlos, big fan of your work.

  42. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes10:24:130:06

    Lewis HAMILTONFront brakes aren't working really well

  43. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo10:24:160:10

    EngineerOK, can you tell me the track condition? Yeah,

    Kimi RAIKKONENit's so slippery. Almost like I'm losing the grip again. OK.

  44. Romain GROSJEANHaas10:25:130:17

    EngineerYou're catching the cars ahead, tyre temps are building, how are the tyres?

    Romain GROSJEANYeah, the rear is getting better

    EngineerYou can try BC7, BC7

    Romain GROSJEANWhat the f*** is that locking?

  45. Nicholas LATIFIWilliams10:26:190:14

    Nicholas LATIFIGaetan, I don't know what I can do. It's ridiculous. It's just dangerous.

    EngineerUnderstood, Niki. Just focus on staying on track. The track will dry up and the tyre will come.

  46. Lando NORRISMcLaren10:26:500:07

    Lando NORRISIt's very difficult to pass as you can tell, so clean track is huge.

  47. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes10:27:200:09

    Valtteri BOTTASI'm not going to be able to go through this train ahead, so might as well try something different.

  48. Alexander ALBONRed Bull10:27:370:14

    EngineerJust for infer, there are a couple of cars at the back on inters, we are watching them. Williams are on inters.

    Alexander ALBONIt will take us two knots to get them in, it's better we just stay out with these toes.

    EngineerYeah, understood.

  49. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes10:28:320:09

    Lewis HAMILTONIt is enters, but the tires are still going, you know, so pointless for me right now

  50. Daniil KVYATAlphaTauri10:28:540:15

    Daniil KVYATWait, we know if someone goes on Inter.

    EngineerLeclerc on Inter now.

    Daniil KVYATYeah, how is he looking?

    EngineerHe looks fast now.

    Daniil KVYATOkay, let's go then.

  51. Alexander ALBONRed Bull10:29:450:10

    EngineerOK, so Vettel, Head and Hamilton have both pitted now. At that last lap, you were the fastest car on track. Mode 4, please, mode 4.

  52. Nicholas LATIFIWilliams10:30:180:19

    EngineerI

    Nicholas LATIFIcan't see anything out of my mirrors either, they're completely blocked.

    EngineerI'm going to start panning within 3 of you, I'm going to start panning within 3. We'll catch you in 10 minutes I think.

  53. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes10:30:520:07

    EngineerSo Orkhon ahead on ex-sweat. HBP 12 set position for when you can.

  54. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull10:31:270:06

    Max VERSTAPPENLet's not go too early on the inter.

  55. Lando NORRISMcLaren10:31:420:14

    EngineerLando, the Inter looks quick. We suggest boxing for Inter. What do you think? OK.

    Lando NORRISYeah, if you think that's good then that's fine. But it's more important for clean air. I'll see if the car ahead does.

  56. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull10:32:540:11

    EngineerHow are conditions at the moment Max? A

    Max VERSTAPPENbit like Q3

    EngineerCopy

    Max VERSTAPPENI'm so much faster now when I'm alone

  57. Sergio PEREZRacing Point10:33:360:12

    EngineerSo should be ahead of Vettel. Vettel ahead is Inter. Sorry, Vettel behind is Inter. Lance is doing well on Inter, so it will get there. Just caution on this first lap.

  58. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri10:34:080:08

    Pierre GASLYHow much faster is the interest?

    Engineer22 seconds faster

    EngineerGo one go one

  63. Antonio GIOVINAZZIAlfa Romeo10:37:440:37

    EngineerSlow down, slow down, no shift, no shift, technical issue, I explain you later, slow down, slow down, no shift, and no shift, I need to stop, I need to stop, now slowly in the garage, but no shift, no shift, watch, cars behind, Grosjean, then Ocon, slowly, so slow in now, there's a gap to the next car behind, 26 seconds, and no shift, no shift, no shift, no shift,

  64. Antonio GIOVINAZZIAlfa Romeo10:38:350:13

    EngineerStop on track Antonio, stop on track, stop now, copy, and remember full switch off procedure, ignition off, high voltage off, car power off.

  65. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo10:39:270:09

    Kimi RAIKKONENYou know, we cannot just f***ing turn this tire's on. Let's just put it in the front, it's awful.

  66. Alexander ALBONRed Bull10:40:160:18

    EngineerOkay, so that car is getting close to being behind the barrier, won't be too much longer, so let's keep going, longitudinal, braking, accelerating, get some temperature going, currently still not too bad, the fronts have dropped, rears are staying quite high, fronts have dropped a bit, so work the fronts when you can.

  67. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull10:40:530:09

    EngineerJust a reminder Max, this is still only lap 14, long way to go yet.

  71. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes10:42:480:08

    Lewis HAMILTONBrakes aren't working man

  72. George RUSSELLWilliams10:43:260:16

    Engineera

    Lance STROLLlot of unders here

  96. Esteban OCONRenault10:54:520:04

    EngineerTire temperatures are all still good

  97. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas10:55:260:09

    Kevin MAGNUSSENIt's okay

  98. Carlos SAINZMcLaren10:56:230:09

    Carlos SAINZI should consider cleaning the mirrors at the pit stop and cleaning my visor

  99. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes10:56:540:10

    EngineerSo we just need to keep these tyres in decent state so they can transition to dry.

  100. Lando NORRISMcLaren10:57:150:11

    EngineerSo Lando, as a bit of an update, about 30 seconds in front of Magnussen is the next group of cars which is Leclerc, Verstappen, Carlos and Ricciardo.

  101. Sebastian VETTELFerrari10:58:210:14

    EngineerIn charge lap time 42.4, 42.4, when you have time, update on right ILS.

    Sebastian VETTELIt's trying in some places, but it's still too deep.

    EngineerCopy.

  102. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull10:58:590:11

    EngineerKeep me an update on conditions please Max.

    Max VERSTAPPENStill too wet in the last sector.

    EngineerOK, copy.

  103. Sergio PEREZRacing Point10:59:020:19

    EngineerI

    Sergio PEREZdon't see anything, man. Just give me

    Engineera

    Sergio PEREZpush, will you?

    EngineerOkay, you're good at the moment. You're good behind. He's 1.5 back. So, Latifi should be getting blue flags shortly. So, you can use energy now. Use energy early. He's 0.7 behind you.

  104. George RUSSELLWilliams10:59:400:05

    George RUSSELLStriggling low speed, front end is rolling out.

  105. George RUSSELLWilliams11:00:280:05

    EngineerHe just plunged me off the road. Yeah, saw that.

  106. Lance STROLLRacing Point11:01:560:08

    EngineerF**k,

    Lance STROLLwhy is it so bad, the fronts?

  107. Charles LECLERCFerrari11:03:320:09

    Charles LECLERCBut I don't want to be the first car. Tell me when the first car is stopping for slicks.

    EngineerCopy, understood.

  108. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull11:03:390:12

    Max VERSTAPPENMy right front is pretty dead

    EngineerYeah, copy that. Okay, so we're just looking to try to extend this into stint into the dry tires max I'm not expecting any more rain

  109. George RUSSELLWilliams11:03:560:05

    George RUSSELL24 of the last two quarters

  110. Romain GROSJEANHaas11:04:470:21

    EngineerWhy is he because they keeping they keep those blue flags of our Charlotte, but I don't see anything There is no it's not come through the timing system. He's 1.4 behind you Okay, so they need to stop waiting those blue flags on track Okay, we have it now blue flag stroll

  111. Alexander ALBONRed Bull11:05:180:07

    Alexander ALBONIt's once again completely

  112. Daniel RICCIARDORenault11:06:080:21

    EngineerAnd how are the tires?

    Daniel RICCIARDOFront's taken a bit of

    Engineera

    Daniel RICCIARDOhit this lap. It was consistent.

    EngineerI'll keep you posted. Think about the entry as well, entry switch on the diff. We're not expecting any more rain.

  113. Lance STROLLRacing Point11:06:350:10

    Lance STROLLSo much wear Brad

    EngineerCopy that Lance. We're just trying to get to dries. We're trying to get to the dry

  114. Sebastian VETTELFerrari11:07:030:14

    EngineerAnd no more rain, no more rain expected, how many laps for dry? Ok, probably,

    Sebastian VETTELit's still going to take a while before they are all faster, probably another inter could be a good idea.

  115. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo11:08:150:29

    EngineerOK, your front right brake are very hot, we have a bit of a concern I

    Kimi RAIKKONENhave to let the cars pass if I want to do something, OK?

    EngineerI know, I know, but it's a safety concern

    Kimi RAIKKONENYeah, so tell me, do you want that I let them pass or what? OK

  116. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:08:440:11

    EngineerIt's a matter of taking these to the transition. I

    Lewis HAMILTONdon't think there's

    Engineergoing

    Lewis HAMILTONto be a transition, as slippery as that out here.

  117. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo11:09:180:12

    Kimi RAIKKONENYeah, that half a turret just squeezed my front wing on the braking move on the right. I don't know in what shape it is.

  118. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo11:11:200:22

    Kimi RAIKKONENYou have water interest ready? Yes,

    Engineerwe are.

    Kimi RAIKKONENHow many laps to end? 20? 20 something? I'm sure we have to stop. Box, box, box. Box, box.

    EngineerTwo

    Kimi RAIKKONENmore.

  119. Lando NORRISMcLaren11:12:040:06

    Lando NORRISIf you can't generate a tie tap for the ties then you're screwed

  120. Lando NORRISMcLaren11:12:320:12

    Lando NORRISum it's difficult there's still quite a few corners which are wet but yeah it just depends how much grip you got if you can't generate the tyres then you're gone

  121. Lance STROLLRacing Point11:12:510:08

    Lance STROLLThere's a dry line, but it's a frickin wet in some places

  122. Carlos SAINZMcLaren11:13:130:13

    Max VERSTAPPENI just hope the right front will make it.

    EngineerYeah, I think it looks worse than it is from your point of view Max. We're monitoring.

  135. Lando NORRISMcLaren11:20:250:34

    EngineerIs the front right okay? It feels like I got a puncture on the front right, but I think it's just because it's so warm. Okay, understood. I think I'm onto the tread. I'm onto, I can see a bit of white, I think. Okay, we'll box this lap, box this lap, we don't want any risk.

    Lando NORRISWell, I don't know.

  143. Carlos SAINZMcLaren11:25:020:10

    EngineerCould be some rain with eight laps to go that's ten laps away, but we're not clear yet. It's not sure Carlos

  144. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes11:26:100:06

    Valtteri BOTTASI can't see anything in my mirrors, so... ...Lewis at six seconds.

  145. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:27:200:10

    Lance STROLLIt's unbelievable that I'm doing better lap times at the beginning of the race, in full wet conditions.

    EngineerCopy that Lance.

  149. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:32:480:10

    Lewis HAMILTONJust so you know, he's getting blue flags. I know he's a mile away, but don't

    Sebastian VETTELWhat do you think about dry tires?

    EngineerWe are monitoring.

    Sebastian VETTELHow did the inter look that we came in?

    EngineerThe

    Sebastian VETTELset that we had last?

    EngineerFront right grainy mostly, rest was ok-ish.

  152. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull11:35:310:10

    Lance STROLLyeah they're getting a bit better but i don't know it's still quite bad fronts fronts

  155. Carlos SAINZMcLaren11:37:410:06

    Carlos SAINZIf rain comes when in the box, it's impossible to stay out at this time.

  156. Romain GROSJEANHaas11:38:080:10

    Romain GROSJEANYeah, okay, the brakes went again. I don't know what we did, were we a bit not in an easy place or not.

  157. Carlos SAINZMcLaren11:39:340:09

    Carlos SAINZMistake.

    EngineerThe

    Carlos SAINZfront right tyre is on the limit.

  158. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo11:42:310:12

    Kimi RAIKKONENYeah, my tires are toast, like they're good when it's dry, but when it's any wet, that's not good.

  159. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo11:42:500:12

    Kimi RAIKKONENI'm not there, but if he's next

    Engineerto me, I think I'm going to say so. Tell me if he's... Yeah, he's losing time on you. He's 3.1 seconds now.

  160. Sergio PEREZRacing Point11:43:580:11

    EngineerThe Checo Leclerc's had a problem, so he's eight seconds back now. You are very fast.

  161. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:44:250:15

    Lewis HAMILTONAll I want to know is there's no concern of this tyre, any of these tyres blowing up, right?

    EngineerNone at the moment, Lewis. We looked at Valtries that did a similar distance. Looked in a similar condition, but nothing to worry about.

  162. Alexander ALBONRed Bull11:44:450:10

    Alexander ALBONWhat happened to Max?

    EngineerI think he spanned turn 4, he's still 3 seconds behind you.

  163. Sebastian VETTELFerrari11:45:520:08

    Engineerwheel,

    Max VERSTAPPENI can't catch it.

  168. Carlos SAINZMcLaren11:51:140:04

    Engineer...suggests that...

  169. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:51:180:19

    EngineerWe do expect rain to hit exit of turn 8 first. If it

    Lewis HAMILTONis indeed going to rain, these tyres will not work.

    EngineerCopy this, that's why we're going to go for a safety stop.

  170. Carlos SAINZMcLaren11:52:180:10

    Carlos SAINZAm I quicker, or he's quicker, or what?

    EngineerCarlos, he's no threat with good pace. He's half a second quicker. Just keep concentration.

  171. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:52:220:10

    EngineerI

    Lewis HAMILTONcan say that about her, I think. I hear you. It's going to be slippery in that pit lane.

    Engineerjob,

    Charles LECLERCnow that I come down, congratulations to Seb, it has not been a good year for him. Even if I'm so f***ed up of myself, he's done a great job and I hope you will enjoy it.

  180. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes12:04:040:04

    EngineerSo into the pit lane world champ

  181. Carlos SAINZMcLaren12:05:360:36

    EngineerGreat drive, Carlos. Great drive, mate. Your P5. Lovely job. Really tough out there. You've done a fantastic drive. I'm really happy.

    Carlos SAINZYeah, cheers, guys. I'm proud of that. Proud of that. Proud of you guys also for turning in a good turnaround from yesterday. Hopefully we didn't lose too many points to that racing point because it was a hard turn P5. Thank you.

    EngineerNo, it's a good job. Lando came eighth as well with the fastest lap, Carlos, so not a bad score for the team.

    Carlos SAINZYeah, good.

  182. George RUSSELLWilliams12:07:351:01

    George RUSSELLAll right, guys. Finally an effort. Thanks to the mechanics for the good job before the race. That was a good pit stop. You wouldn't have known if they were the reserve. So well done. I guess we've got some understanding to do, but that's part of racing. Tough day, tough weekend. We go on. Cheers.

    EngineerCopy that. Yeah, totally agree. So the results. Hamilton won the race.

    George RUSSELLIt's always on for a good result at one point in that mid-phase or early to mid-phase. The car was feeling good. Tyres were feeling good when I was behind Magnussen, but then they just dropped like a stone.

    EngineerYeah, copy. That's the bit we need to understand, isn't it? Yeah.

    George RUSSELLI mean, I don't think anybody understands them when you get them right, when you get them wrong, but fortunately that's what we're dealing with.

  183. Alexander ALBONRed Bull12:08:050:19

    Alexander ALBONNo, I really thought we could have stayed out. Honestly, the times were coming back to me again. I'm sure maybe we wouldn't

    Engineerhave

    Alexander ALBONlasted like they could have, but still, like the way that they grade, you lose so much time.

    EngineerYeah, yeah, completely understand.

  184. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo12:09:240:13

    EngineerOk Kimi, that's it, mode charge please, so Hamilton 1, followed by Perez and Vettel Ok Kimi, pox pox and remember, full switch off

  185. Lando NORRISMcLaren12:10:371:34

    EngineerYou finished P8, P8 and fastest lap there at the very end. You set the fastest lap a few times again at the very end, well done. Cheers, sorry about the start, it just all went wrong so that kind of messed us up and we obviously could have scored more but the car was good. Well done to Carlos's side as well, nice job, good points, good recovery from yesterday so nice one. Exactly mate, excellent recovery from yesterday and from the start as well. And I did have more grip now on intermediates in the dry than I did on the slicks in the dry so. And Lando that was Tanguy and Arnaud's last race so I'd like to extend a thank you to them from everyone at McLaren. From Tanguy's last race? Tanguy and Arnaud, yeah last race with us. Oh I'm gonna miss you Tanguy and Arnaud. Thanks for everything man, it's been a pleasure, gonna miss you. Well done man, very good job, really enjoyable race, shame about the start, no worries about that, good bounce back from yesterday, keep fighting like this. Very good job, thank you. Quick question, P8 or the Hamon for your birthday? P8, I don't want a pepperoni. What's wrong with the Hamon? Nothing, it's just not my favourite. That's all. I take it.

  186. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes12:10:510:25

    Engineerthat's P14 sorry about that bit of a disaster with a contact in the first lap not sure everything was right so Lewis won the race and seventh championship congratulations to him

    Valtteri BOTTASso

    Engineerit stayed out on the intermediate same for Perez

  187. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri12:12:520:42

    EngineerF***ing

    Pierre GASLYrace. The whole weekend. The whole weekend. Very disappointed.

    EngineerOk, I don't think Friday was so bad. Fail 84 fail. It was definitely a difficult race. Fail 84 fail. Nobody cares about Friday.

    Pierre GASLYNobody cares. Now we've crossed so many points just because we are nowhere. Since Saturday we are sleeping.

    EngineerI don't think we are sleeping. We've tried our best. We'll try to understand what's happened. Ok Pierre, obviously we are all disappointed and frustrated as much as you are and we have to bounce back now and learn from this. So when you stop the car, P1 then P0.

  188. Lance STROLLRacing Point12:13:170:32

    EngineerThat's a P9, Hamilton, Perez, Vettel, Leclerc, Sainz. That was so ridiculous. What

    Lance STROLLthe hell happened? Just no pace.

    EngineerPerez stayed out on the tyres. He stayed out. I

    Lance STROLLknow, but we were struggling so much more than him on that tyre.

    EngineerYeah, we need to go through it to understand.

  189. Daniel RICCIARDORenault12:14:440:28

    Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, sorry I didn't have any real answers for that today. We'll

    Engineerhave to come up with a dose mate, we'll look into it.

    Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, no worries. Yeah, again, apologies for Term 1.

    EngineerFrom

    Daniel RICCIARDOwhat I remember I kind of got a bit sandwiched, but yeah, we'll have a look, but apologies nonetheless.

    Engineerknow Danny, I know but you did a good job with those tyres, they were very difficult, fail 84

    Daniil KVYATok, whoever is behind me, tell him I can't see anything in my mirrors, so don't

    Engineertry to overtake me behind you you

    Daniil KVYATcan still hear my blind right now, I mean

    Engineeryeah, we are passing the message

  191. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri12:16:090:06

    EngineerAnd for info, Danny is not able to see these mirrors.

  192. Esteban OCONRenault12:16:300:35

    EngineerOK Esteban, that's the chequered flag, and that's kind of the worst place of all, P11, I'm sorry for that, you did an absolutely fantastic job on those tyres, and it was absolutely no fault of your own that you got taken out on that first lap.

    Esteban OCONYeah, sorry about that guys, I think, other than that, we had a good pace, so it's

    Engineera

    Esteban OCONshame. Yeah, luckily I think it was the first lap because the front opened up completely, so, was it the same driver that hit me twice, or? Negative.
