  2. Carlos SAINZMcLaren13:33:010:09

    EngineerOkay Carlos, wind update. So we're not seeing a strong headwind into Turn 1, looking fairly calm compared to yesterday.

  3. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull13:36:310:10

    Max VERSTAPPENYeah same problem, you hear it?

    EngineerYep Standby, I'll let you know whether we carry on with the launch or not

  4. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes14:06:260:11

    EngineerI am Valtteri. If you look on top of the additional set of traffic lights, there's a wind sock on the hill that shows you the wind direction intensity.

  5. Lando NORRISMcLaren14:07:550:14

    EngineerHi there, behind you Kvyat Raikkonen on mediums, Vettel on soft, Grosjean on mediums Everybody ahead of you on you soft Have a good race

    Romain GROSJEANAre you okay? Are you okay?

    EngineerI got crashed into.

    Romain GROSJEANI got crashed

    Engineerinto. Those guys are absolutely nowhere. Who was that? Someone came on the inside. Nowhere.

  7. Romain GROSJEANHaas14:20:550:14

    Romain GROSJEANIt was a big hit, so yeah, it was a big hit, but I don't know if the front wing is damaged Check everything suspension-wise. There is absolutely a ton of gravel on my back which is lovely

  8. Charles LECLERCFerrari14:22:010:10

    Charles LECLERCTell me whenever I can use the brakes again.

    EngineerAt the moment still on the hot side, and keep working the tyres like this, you're doing a good job.

  9. Carlos SAINZMcLaren14:23:300:05

    EngineerAnd Carlos, there's no investigation for our accident at turn two.

  10. Carlos SAINZMcLaren14:24:260:05

    Carlos SAINZWhat are we waiting for? To go racing?

  11. Sebastian VETTELFerrari14:30:560:18

    EngineerThere are a lot of debris in the street still, so it will be a long safety car, so prepare to manage your tyres. You can also consider, I

    Sebastian VETTELdon't know how long we are going, but at some stage to change to soft tyres. Red flag.

  12. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes14:32:170:11

    Valtteri BOTTASBlankets on.

    EngineerThere's no blankets. AFM, we call them. We have a free change of tyre, Valtteri. We have a free pit stop.

  13. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:33:400:18

    Lewis HAMILTONMarcus, I stayed a little bit to the side of where Valtteri was, for the restart, and that wasn't so good. It would be better to stay behind in future, right? Affirm. Yep,

    Engineerstaying behind I think looks best.

  14. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes14:42:270:12

    Valtteri BOTTASDo we still have a new soft or not just used?

    EngineerRemember Vanto, we also have a soft that's basically new, the one you did, two corners and yellow flag.

  15. Alexander ALBONRed Bull14:53:420:11

    EngineerAlex, there may be some fluids at the pit exit on the right hand side, I think where they've been dragging cars across, so I'd suggest staying to the left at pit exit please.

  16. George RUSSELLWilliams14:55:040:12

    George RUSSELLBoys fans rear brakes quickly. Come on. They're smoking. Rears T.O. Rears. Boys, where are we with fans mate? We need fans for the rear brakes. Come on

    Daniil KVYATThe stars are quite rarely limited at the moment.

  25. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo15:16:150:23

    Kimi RAIKKONENHow much are we lacking on the front wing side? Because it's f***ing awful. How can it take so long to tell them?

    EngineerYeah, Kimi, we're on it. I'll come back to you as soon as I can. Yeah, it's the f***ing

    Kimi RAIKKONENfork mixture. We dropped it out.

    EngineerJust f***ing

    Kimi RAIKKONENguessing.

    EngineerYeah, I know. We can't do anything about it anymore. So, crack on.

  26. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo15:18:090:19

    Kimi RAIKKONENAnd now, next stop, you get number right this time, so we know where we put the front wing, otherwise we'll not have tires to finish the race in the front. So, make sure that you look everything that we can do right here. Okay, okay, money.

  27. Lando NORRISMcLaren15:19:420:06

    Lando NORRISI can see Perez is really struggling, he's probably going to box soon.

    Kimi RAIKKONENI think he hit me on the side.

    EngineerOK, we are checking.

  36. Alexander ALBONRed Bull15:44:020:09

    EngineerColleagues, this is good stuff. I think you can overtake both these two cars. Let's get stuck in

  37. Alexander ALBONRed Bull15:51:230:15

    Alexander ALBONOK, guys, we've really got to sort out our starts. I noticed other cars were doing more burnouts than us, like Charles and the four-seater behind were doing more burnouts. I don't know if that would help.

    EngineerUnderstood.

  38. Charles LECLERCFerrari15:52:450:09

    Charles LECLERCIs it done on purpose, the red flag?

    EngineerI

    Charles LECLERCmean, good for us, but...

  45. Alexander ALBONRed Bull16:27:270:08

  46. Alexander ALBONRed Bull16:30:430:05

    EngineerOkay mate, two laps to go. Let's keep it smooth and clean.

  47. George RUSSELLWilliams16:38:010:20

    Romain GROSJEANI did enjoy that one. And then the surface obviously was damaged. The surface of the tyre went to the roof and struggled, but thank you everyone. Good that we stick to it. It was

    Engineera great visit.

    Romain GROSJEANFrom stopping the car ready to retire to racing three restarts. Pretty have been for the day.

    EngineerP9, P9, P9! Ok, we are P9, P9! What a race Kimi, P9!

    Kimi RAIKKONENHonestly, the car is damaged from something that was out of our control but after that we have to improve because the car like it was, we could have done better
