2. Carlos SAINZMcLaren13:33:01

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

4. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes14:06:26

5. Lando NORRISMcLaren14:07:55

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

6. Romain GROSJEANHaas14:20:24

   Romain GROSJEAN: Are you okay? Are you okay?

   Engineer: I got crashed into.

   Romain GROSJEAN: I got crashed

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

7. Romain GROSJEANHaas14:20:55

   Romain GROSJEAN: It 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 LECLERCFerrari14:22:01

   Charles LECLERC: Tell me whenever I can use the brakes again.

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

9. Carlos SAINZMcLaren14:23:30

   Engineer: And Carlos, there's no investigation for our accident at turn two.

10. Carlos SAINZMcLaren14:24:26

    Carlos SAINZ: What are we waiting for? To go racing?

11. Sebastian VETTELFerrari14:30:56

    Engineer: There 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 VETTEL: don't know how long we are going, but at some stage to change to soft tyres. Red flag.

12. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes14:32:17

    Valtteri BOTTAS: Blankets on.

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

13. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:33:40

    Lewis HAMILTON: Marcus, 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,

    Engineer: staying behind I think looks best.

14. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes14:42:27

    Valtteri BOTTAS: Do we still have a new soft or not just used?

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

15. Alexander ALBONRed Bull14:53:42

    Engineer: Alex, 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 RUSSELLWilliams14:55:04

    George RUSSELL: Boys 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

17. Charles LECLERCFerrari15:00:51

    Charles LECLERC: Which tire is on the show?

    Engineer: It's a Scrap Soft.

18. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo15:02:18

    Engineer: And

    Kimi RAIKKONEN: no chance because we f***ed up the front wing way too much.

    Daniil KVYAT: The stars are quite rarely limited at the moment.

25. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo15:16:15

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

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

    Kimi RAIKKONEN: fork mixture. We dropped it out.

    Engineer: Just f***ing

    Kimi RAIKKONEN: guessing.

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

26. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo15:18:09

    Kimi RAIKKONEN: And 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 NORRISMcLaren15:19:42

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

28. Lando NORRISMcLaren15:21:50

    Engineer: We currently think plan A looking to extend. What are your thoughts? Confirm.

    Lando NORRIS: Yeah, I think okay. I'm just struggling now because of the dirty air.

    Romain GROSJEAN: We had contact, I don't know if it was the front wing, completely squeezing on the inside.

35. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo15:36:23

    Kimi RAIKKONEN: I think he hit me on the side.

    Engineer: OK, we are checking.

36. Alexander ALBONRed Bull15:44:02

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

37. Alexander ALBONRed Bull15:51:23

    Alexander ALBON: OK, 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.

    Engineer: Understood.

38. Charles LECLERCFerrari15:52:45

    Charles LECLERC: Is it done on purpose, the red flag?

    Engineer: I

    Charles LECLERC: mean, good for us, but...

    Engineer: Yes, let's concentrate on our job.

39. Lando NORRISMcLaren16:09:28

    Engineer: Once again, this is going to be a race of attrition to the end

40. Sebastian VETTELFerrari16:11:11

    Engineer: So the last car will come back now, two minutes. So that they have nice and hot tires.

41. Daniel RICCIARDORenault16:15:03

44. Romain GROSJEANHaas16:24:47

    Engineer: We have so much damage mate, you're doing your best, that was a stunning opening lap mate, you did everything we could, let's just keep going and bring it home.

45. Alexander ALBONRed Bull16:27:27

    Engineer: I guess the Mercedes is just playing around trying to get fastest laps off each other. You're doing a good job mate.

46. Alexander ALBONRed Bull16:30:43

    Engineer: Okay mate, two laps to go. Let's keep it smooth and clean.

47. George RUSSELLWilliams16:38:01

    George RUSSELL: Guys, I don't know what to say about that red flag, we would have been in the points Launch off the line, lost it all there

    Engineer: I

    George RUSSELL: was driving as fast as I could afterwards

48. Romain GROSJEANHaas16:39:20

    Engineer: Okay, dude, that's the checker. That's the checker. So P12, P12. Excellent drive from you, man. We think we're about 60 points down after that contact and the damage that we sustained. Really good from you. That last restart was brilliant, mate. I hope you enjoyed it. Excellent drive.

    Romain GROSJEAN: I 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

    Engineer: a great visit.

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

    Engineer: Yeah, man, and if we hadn't had the damage, you know, we'd have been right up there with those guys. So yeah. Good job sticking with it, man. Excellent work.

49. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo16:41:55

    Engineer: P9, P9, P9! Ok, we are P9, P9! What a race Kimi, P9!

    Kimi RAIKKONEN: Honestly, 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

    Engineer: I know Kimi, but the car was damaged you drove superbly and we will improve together so thanks again, 2 points, be happy!
