Kimi RAIKKONENand going
Engineerlight, radio check pit exit, ok good for me too
Esteban OCONWait wait wait wait, I can't see anything with the visor, I think there's something inside the visor
Engineer2-11, I'm out of training, I'm too late OK, understood, box, so we keep this set then
EngineerAnd let me know on track conditions.
Charles LECLERCYeah, yeah, for now it's wet. I mean, I swim wet.
Antonio GIOVINAZZII can I can turn on again.
EngineerYeah, try Antonio, try. So try to get out and back to the grid
EngineerOk, straight out, so be careful, turn 2, 3, that's double yellow, Antonio is stuck in the gravel there, between 2 and 3.
EngineerHow are track conditions, Antonio?
Antonio GIOVINAZZINo, no for inter.
EngineerSo, OK for inter, question? No, no. OK, copy.
EngineerAnd Carlos still double waved yellows turn two through to turn three.
EngineerOK Esteban, so it's recharge on please, going to the back of the grid. Just a reminder to take it easy on the brakes at turn 12 please.
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.
Lewis HAMILTONjust keeping an eye on rear brakes because they're ready to be warm. I don't need this guys.
George RUSSELLI've crashed.
EngineerGo
George RUSSELLand walk in speed.
EngineerThis is
George RUSSELLridiculous.
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.
George RUSSELLYeah, sorry guys, but absolutely unbelievable. There's no grip whatsoever. It's undriveable. Absolutely undriveable.
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.
EngineerNow go slowly back to the grid slowly on the grid the fronting might fall so slowly back
EngineerSafety car lights are off so it's a normal start.
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
Audio only, no transcript
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.
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
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
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.
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.
EngineerAnd obviously this will be a crazy race, but I'll stay focused and f*** some s***.
EngineerStrolls approaching the grid
EngineerLasgaar car is approaching the grid now
EngineerK2 off, K2 off
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.
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
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.
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...
Romain GROSJEANI really don't know what you're doing me. Oh, yeah, I don't get much reading here
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.
EngineerIt's
Lance STROLLdrying up
Lewis HAMILTONDon't give me new tires again man, that's not the right idea
Esteban OCONThe butter's two times crushing to me. Unbelievable.
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.
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.
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.
EngineerGood stuff Carlos, big fan of your work.
Lewis HAMILTONFront brakes aren't working really well
EngineerOK, can you tell me the track condition? Yeah,
Kimi RAIKKONENit's so slippery. Almost like I'm losing the grip again. OK.
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?
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.
Lando NORRISIt's very difficult to pass as you can tell, so clean track is huge.
Valtteri BOTTASI'm not going to be able to go through this train ahead, so might as well try something different.
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.
Lewis HAMILTONIt is enters, but the tires are still going, you know, so pointless for me right now
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.
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.
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.
EngineerSo Orkhon ahead on ex-sweat. HBP 12 set position for when you can.
Max VERSTAPPENLet's not go too early on the inter.
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.
EngineerHow are conditions at the moment Max? A
Max VERSTAPPENbit like Q3
EngineerCopy
Max VERSTAPPENI'm so much faster now when I'm alone
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.
Pierre GASLYHow much faster is the interest?
Engineer22 seconds faster
EngineerYou will be racing Perez Vettel Hamilton
EngineerI can't see anything, so please... Understood, understood. 1.8, still 1.8.
EngineerSo all cars on inters now, Albon only ex-sweat is currently leading
EngineerGo one go one
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,
EngineerStop on track Antonio, stop on track, stop now, copy, and remember full switch off procedure, ignition off, high voltage off, car power off.
Kimi RAIKKONENYou know, we cannot just f***ing turn this tire's on. Let's just put it in the front, it's awful.
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.
EngineerJust a reminder Max, this is still only lap 14, long way to go yet.
EngineerSector reported to be clear, might be soon, safety car ending.
EngineerVirtua Safety Car Ending, Offset 7 and Mode 1. Offset 7, Mode 1.
EngineerHow's the balance on the inters?
Lance STROLLYeah, it's okay a bit rear limited, but it's okay
EngineerVirtual safety car ending minus two brake balance and go five go five Switch it now go five
Lewis HAMILTONBrakes aren't working man
George RUSSELLI literally cannot see Boss Ass in the mirror with the spray, I need much info.
EngineerYeah that's fine, alright 0.7 it's fine, Mangus is struggling ahead.
Alexander ALBONCome on, nice
Engineerjob mate
Pierre GASLYI can't see a thing with this f***ing visor. I don't know what I have, it's so sticky.
EngineerI
Pierre GASLYcan't see the f***ing corners, like, I'm blind.
EngineerGap to VIA, only four and a half seconds now, you're much, much quicker.
EngineerTire temperatures a good start to manage right hand side tires turn eight
Audio only, no transcript
Lando NORRISOkay, so 10-8 is where there's starting to be a bit of a dry line in terms of cornering.
EngineerOkay, again that was fastest lap
Engineermultifunction a red 21 okay multifunction a red 21 okay
Max VERSTAPPENFlat spots, flat spots.
EngineerSo the staff are in the pits
EngineerThere's no spree attempts. Tires ain't mine!
Lando NORRISHe started moving at the breaking just as he saw me
EngineerYou might be racing Leclerc, racing Leclerc.
Nicholas LATIFIAnd I hit something apex of turn 8. There was a big judder on the front axle. Just check everything's okay. I'm not sure why.
George RUSSELLGetting battled up by LARP, nowhere close to slicks.
EngineerI'm
Lewis HAMILTONlosing so much time. I just can't get by, man.
EngineerYeah, copy, Lewis. We can see that. Just keep doing what you can do.
EngineerHamilton 1 second behind, 1 second, 0.9
Carlos SAINZI cannot see nothing on my mirrors, so let me know if we are under attack.
Carlos SAINZYeah, I'm quicker than this guy, but I cannot pass.
EngineerChecker we're having to cool the tires on the straights, cool the tires should help
EngineerBOTAS off in front of you, yellow flag, yellow flag
EngineerHow far off the rise are we now Lance?
Lance STROLLPretty far, still a lot of standing water.
Lance STROLLI'm picking up
Engineera
Lance STROLLlot of unders here
EngineerTire temperatures are all still good
EngineerYou're doing same lap time as Ricciardo. How is the balance now? How's the balance now?
Kevin MAGNUSSENIt's okay
Carlos SAINZI should consider cleaning the mirrors at the pit stop and cleaning my visor
EngineerSo we just need to keep these tyres in decent state so they can transition to dry.
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.
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.
EngineerKeep me an update on conditions please Max.
Max VERSTAPPENStill too wet in the last sector.
EngineerOK, copy.
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.
George RUSSELLStriggling low speed, front end is rolling out.
EngineerHe just plunged me off the road. Yeah, saw that.
EngineerF**k,
Lance STROLLwhy is it so bad, the fronts?
Charles LECLERCBut I don't want to be the first car. Tell me when the first car is stopping for slicks.
EngineerCopy, understood.
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
George RUSSELL24 of the last two quarters
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
Alexander ALBONIt's once again completely
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.
Lance STROLLSo much wear Brad
EngineerCopy that Lance. We're just trying to get to dries. We're trying to get to the dry
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Lando NORRISIf you can't generate a tie tap for the ties then you're screwed
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
Lance STROLLThere's a dry line, but it's a frickin wet in some places
EngineerGood job. Can we get to the dry on this tyre, Carlos?
Carlos SAINZI'm not sure, Dom. It's impossible to know.
EngineerYeah, there's a Renault just fitting an inter. Do you want more front wing for this if we do new inter?
George RUSSELLYes Box,
Engineerbox, box Box now, cover Box now, drop plus two
EngineerVettel is behind you, Vettel behind you, fresh into it.
Lewis HAMILTONThat's how you box it man!
EngineerYou've got hotter tires now, so it's funnable
Sergio PEREZI'm losing a
Engineerlot of
Sergio PEREZtime behind the lens.
Lewis HAMILTONHow long can this guy go for?
EngineerWe don't know that Lewis.
EngineerWhat the
Kimi RAIKKONENf*** happened there?
EngineerWe tried to remove some tape on the front brake, but it took longer than expected.
EngineerOkay Carlos that was purple sector three Verstappen is inside the window you can manage the tire
EngineerWe're going to Inter, Lance. We're going to put another set of Inter's on. Why are we doing that? Why, why, why? Stay out then, stay out.
Audio only, no transcript
EngineerStop the car, Kevin. Stop the car. You can't be serious.
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.
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.
EngineerIt feels okay, but... I'm happy to box, box this lap. Okay. Be careful entry, Carlos locked up, careful pit entry. So box now, box now.
Audio only, no transcript
EngineerAnd you are doing a good job, your face is good.
EngineerOK Lewis, so that's the lead, we've just got a couple of cars in our pit window, just to pull the gap.
Lewis HAMILTONSee if you can see how my tyres are, I can't really...
EngineerI'll be
Lewis HAMILTONwearing down to the bow and I can't really see.
EngineerYour tyre temps are still good so we're just going to keep going as long as we can.
EngineerSome cars going quick and then finding graining and then going slow.
Nicholas LATIFIThese tires are not so good right now.
EngineerIf a safety car now, are you able to fit dry?
Daniil KVYATIs anybody on the dry or not? It's close but not yet, 100%
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
Valtteri BOTTASI can't see anything in my mirrors, so... ...Lewis at six seconds.
Lewis HAMILTONLooks like it's getting darker, is that more right?
EngineerThere is a risk of it, yeah, copy, it's getting darker.
Carlos SAINZGetting any crust into me.
Romain GROSJEANWhat the f***? Are you okay? Yeah, but f*** Watch for Norris Yeah, doing my best, but that's
Engineera
Romain GROSJEANf***ing absolute joke Ok, we have Ocon coming out of turn 10 now Yeah, yeah, I think, I'm not sure the car is not
Engineerf***ing f***ing
Romain GROSJEANAnyone clean? Do you need to box? Do you need to box? I don't know, you tell me, I don't know That's absolutely ridiculous Kvyat, two seconds back
Lance STROLLIt's unbelievable that I'm doing better lap times at the beginning of the race, in full wet conditions.
EngineerCopy that Lance.
Lewis HAMILTONJust so you know, he's getting blue flags. I know he's a mile away, but don't
Engineerworry
Lewis HAMILTONabout it.
EngineerCopy Lewis, we agree with you.
EngineerTake care of these tires, we may go to the end.
Charles LECLERCYeah, yeah, we're going to the end, how many laps left?
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.
EngineerMax, what are your thoughts on conditions?
Max VERSTAPPENI think not ready for slicks.
EngineerCopy.
EngineerAm
Lewis HAMILTONI in the right strap?
EngineerYeah, copy Lewis, we're happy with that. Just stay strap 5.
Lewis HAMILTONTightness OK?
EngineerYeah, copy Lewis, we're happy with everything at the moment, you just keep feeding back to us.
Engineerso how's the balance and tires now lance
Lance STROLLyeah they're getting a bit better but i don't know it's still quite bad fronts fronts
Carlos SAINZIf rain comes when in the box, it's impossible to stay out at this time.
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.
Carlos SAINZMistake.
EngineerThe
Carlos SAINZfront right tyre is on the limit.
Kimi RAIKKONENYeah, my tires are toast, like they're good when it's dry, but when it's any wet, that's not good.
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.
EngineerThe Checo Leclerc's had a problem, so he's eight seconds back now. You are very fast.
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.
Alexander ALBONWhat happened to Max?
EngineerI think he spanned turn 4, he's still 3 seconds behind you.
EngineerAnd every rain expected for the last lap of the race, every rain.
EngineerOK remand, box, remand, box, box, remand, box OK remand we're going to retire the car, there was a lot of aero damage Yeah I don't understand why we didn't do it quickly if that's the case, because I looked like **** out there
EngineerSepplach time 39.6
Charles LECLERCWhy are you telling me the gas is a bastard? Is he coming back?
EngineerFour laps to go.
Valtteri BOTTASI wish it was less.
Max VERSTAPPENAll the time when I get oversteer, the f***ing
Engineerwheel,
Max VERSTAPPENI can't catch it.
Engineer...suggests that...
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.
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.
EngineerI
Lewis HAMILTONcan say that about her, I think. I hear you. It's going to be slippery in that pit lane.
EngineerYee-hoo!
EngineerWe had a few drivers reporting drizzle in turn 8, few drivers reporting drizzle in turn 8, consider entry 5
Engineerfantastic job what a mate now concentrate concentrate to the end few drops of rain in turn 8 have been reported
EngineerSo this is the last lap.
EngineerGet in there Lewis! What a way to do it mate! What a way to win your seventh world title! Mate, you have got to be proud of that! What an awesome drive!
Lewis HAMILTONThat's for all the kids out there who dream the impossible! You can do it too, man! I believe in you guys! Thank you so much everyone for your support! Lewis, congratulations for the seventh title. I couldn't have done it better! Fantastic drive with the slicks! Fantastic! It's really awesome to be a witness of that, Lewis!
EngineerYes, Jacko! Yes! P2! P2!
Sergio PEREZOh man, one more lap and the tyre will have exploded.
EngineerYeah, we were holding our breath here as well. Well done!
EngineerCan't go for it, go for it, go for it, no way, yeah, be
Sebastian VETTELfree, be free, nearly, nearly had him, nearly had him,
Engineerah,
Sebastian VETTELyeah, thank you, it was an intense race, I think I'll sleep well tonight, ah, grazie tutti, it
Engineerwas awesome.
Charles LECLERCYou did a good job, really good job. No, I did a f***ing job, I did a f***ing job, I did a f***ing job, I did a f***ing job, that's it. I did a f***ing
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.
EngineerSo into the pit lane world champ
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
