Nikita MAZEPINI need to turn down the lights of the shift lights

EngineerCopy that, copy that, we can do that on the grid

Mick SCHUMACHERYeah, definitely. I could probably pick up probably okay

Engineerunderstood understood just take your time

Yuki TSUNODAThis is no chance for the dry tyre.

EngineerCopy. Do you think extreme? Extreme.

Max VERSTAPPENMassive break mate, massive. We need to change to rogues 3 more.

EngineerUnderstood Max.

Max VERSTAPPENThis is that sector, but I cannot go through there with the intermediates.

EngineerUnderstood Max, understood. Box and confirm. Just look after this set in the drier section of the track please. Look after this tyre set. So box, they will stop you on the marks and will bring you back into the garage please.

Esteban OCONCopy, very very wet, 5

Engineerand 6 Copy that, you've got a yellow flag ahead, yellow flag, nice and steady through 7 please, nice and steady

EngineerIt's still very wet through sector one, so I've had a few cars spin in seven, just be cautious.

Lando NORRISThe final sector is pretty much completely dry, so yeah, interest is okay, just sector 1 is pretty sketchy.

EngineerAnd box, checko box, I assume you're happy still on inters? Yes, anyone on wets? Some people have gone on to wets. Do you want to have a look? No, thank you. OK.

Sebastian VETTELOK, do you have time for pit and inter?

EngineerNegative, there's not time for that now, so it'll be straight through the pit lane. You are OK to come through the pit lane, but we can't stop.

Sebastian VETTELOK, copy.

EngineerIt looks like you have a puncture, rear left puncture.

Valtteri BOTTASOkay, interesting.

Engineerno start no start brakes are on fire go one and no start go one and no start the whole thing's on fire brad drive quickly to put it out drive quickly to put it out

George RUSSELLI had quite a bit of clutch slip in the initial stages.

EngineerA

Lewis HAMILTONlot of surging

EngineerSir Lewis, in terms of forecast, expecting maybe another little shower five or ten minutes in, but it's only going to be light in terms of intensity from this point in, we think. We're not going to get any more of the heavy rain.

Carlos SAINZYeah, and keep radio communications to a minimum during the first 10 laps when I get used to the circuit.

EngineerSo listen, we're going to have to start from the pit lane. We've got to push the car to the pit lane. We're not finished in time.

Engineerand Daniel just a reminder if this tyre was clearly the wrong tyre on the formation lap you'll have to call yourself to the pit we would be ready we can't acknowledge because of the first lap limitations

Lando NORRISTrack is still, as we spoke about, a bit wet in middle sector, but sector one is very tricky.

Sebastian VETTELCan I have a BBW fail?

EngineerRight mate, this will be an exciting one, let's get some points.

EngineerI

Lewis HAMILTONdon't know if I've got damage, he pushed me right wide in turn 1

Lewis HAMILTONThat doesn't feel great.

EngineerLooks like we've got damage to the front wing end plate there Lewis, but we'll keep you updated on the balance shift.

EngineerSo, Lando, we got hit by Stroll. His tyre hit your right hand side barge board. When you come past the pit lane, I'd like you to drive close to the pit lane please and we'll take a look.

EngineerDon't be shy of boxing and fitting a fresh set for temps, that

Sebastian VETTELone position is not worth a lot, you can get it immediately.

EngineerAnother weather update Max, we're expecting these conditions for the next 10 minutes.

EngineerOkay Lando, so we do not see any damage. We do not see any damage

EngineerWe have Maureen in the pitlane now, Maureen

EngineerCurrently very light rain in pit lane, similar to when we were on the grid.

EngineerHow are conditions out there, Max?

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, it's okay. Just normal.

Mick SCHUMACHERIs there anything that could fall under the car or something?

EngineerJust watch, there's just some stuff dangling from the nose, nothing massive. But no need to push, no need to go fast or anything.

EngineerJust be careful trying to get those brakes lined up, the front left disc is getting very hot.

Mick SCHUMACHEROh, so you know right now, okay,

Engineerbut let's uh, we're still okay. We haven't lost anything just a couple of track positions. So Let's everything's gonna be okay. We're gonna put the car back together

EngineerTire temps are coming up. How is the grip? How is the track condition?

Nikita MAZEPINGetting better. If you let me focus, that would be great.

Sergio PEREZThis feeling will lead to moving by itself.

EngineerCopy, check out, we're looking into it, we can see it.

EngineerOkay, we have a bit more rain now a bit more rain coming now

EngineerI think

Nikita MAZEPINthe tires are starting to go.

EngineerSo many mistakes I'm going to do. You are too quick, guy. Calm down.

Lance STROLLI

Engineercan't see

Lance STROLLanything, my f***ing visor is f***ing up

EngineerTires are getting on the hotter side so you can use the wet patches to cool them.

EngineerI'm sure there'll be another safety car in this race, so we'll get this lap back. So just keep hammering out these laps. You are very fast compared to the mid-pack cars. You're doing awesome.

Max VERSTAPPENJust keep an eye on if people start to pit for slicks with sector turns.

EngineerYeah we're looking at that Max, you can focus on the race ahead at the moment.

Lando NORRISI have a lot more pace in me, I just, I can't use it at the moment.

EngineerI

Lando NORRISneed clean air.

Fernando ALONSORain up, but still for Inters.

EngineerOk, understood.

EngineerDaniel we want to swap positions we need to see Lando's pace in clear air we need to see Lando's pace in clear air

EngineerMax, can I have an update on conditions please?

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, it's getting a little bit drier, but it's also still drizzling, so it's tricky.

EngineerYeah, understood.

Max VERSTAPPENI start to slide more over the rubber, Sector 1.

EngineerSo Lando, we don't want to be the first car onto drives, we want to eke out this in inter tyre.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, again, track is drying a bit, but not enough for the moment.

EngineerUnderstood, Max.

EngineerRain has completely stopped in pit lane, go ahead.

Daniel RICCIARDOYep, understood.

EngineerLet's see if you can drive offline to find any damp patches keep those temps down

George RUSSELLWhat the hell is motherpin doing? He's

Engineerhad

George RUSSELLthe blue flag for a long time

EngineerLando, how's the track?

Lando NORRISIt's still too wet in places. Sector 1 is too wet, basically.

EngineerThat's it.

EngineerAny more rain, no more rain expected. Ok Kimi, we are not expecting any more rain, no more rain expected.

EngineerOk Kimi, we are not expecting any more rain, no more rain expected

Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, so front, front right, definitely got a bit of groaning.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerThe

Antonio GIOVINAZZIParis is gone. Copy,

EngineerAntonio.

Sergio PEREZThe front right is pretty warm.

EngineerHow are conditions, Max?

Max VERSTAPPENThey're drying, but not enough.

Carlos SAINZWhy is TRS not available?

EngineerIs

Carlos SAINZit too damp? It's good.

Engineerso still no cars going faster on dry

Lewis HAMILTONStill wet in some places.

EngineerRoger.

EngineerMax, thoughts on conditions?

Max VERSTAPPENWell, if the slicks are not better, then what do you want me to do? It's getting very dry, that's for sure, but one line.

Lewis HAMILTONHe's in.

EngineerA-Firm, let's go for it Lewis, let's go for it. Got one lap.

EngineerBrake balance for the line, pit entry is slippery new tarmac

EngineerSo Lewis, Gravel Trap at 7.

EngineerWhat the f***? Are you okay, Valtteri?

Valtteri BOTTASBig one. All good.

Max VERSTAPPENOnce again behind. Could

Engineerbe a lot of debris here from Hamilton on the run up to Turn 9. There's also a massive shunt down Turn 2. Masses of debris all the way down Turn 2.

George RUSSELLWhat the f*** was he doing? Honestly, is he a f***ing

Engineerb***h

George RUSSELLor what?

EngineerSo

Lewis HAMILTONsorry guys. Yeah, don't sweat it.

George RUSSELLWhat the f*** was he doing? Honestly, is he a f***

Engineeror

George RUSSELLwhat?

Lance STROLLBring me a new visor.

EngineerCopy that, will do Lance, will do.

Kimi RAIKKONENOkay, bring the blankets immediately here and put it on yeah,

Engineerthey are ready they are running after you

EngineerOkay Mick, so it's seven and a half minutes till we go. All the cars that are down a lap get moved to the front. We fire up earlier than everyone else, we leave earlier than everyone else, so we do an extra lap to catch the pack to get one lap back. Then we go around and do this formation lap and then they can either do a rolling start or a standing start. If they do a standing start you'll be in mode race start and you're on the C3 tire and I'll just show you the burnouts and clutch position.

Charles LECLERCokay speak on the board speak on the board take off take off the earplugs here take off the earplugs because I've got a noise only earplugs so I can't speak but can't hear you

Engineerwe

Kimi RAIKKONENwill do a pipe point before the start because we're gonna do more than one lap we go one lap around and then we do at least one lap and you answer the question is very simple question

Engineerwe will do a paper before the start here and

Kimi RAIKKONENalso now that's what i was told you

Engineerdo now now and before the start

Lance STROLLWe've just got a rolling start alarm,

Engineeroh my gosh. Yes, it will be a rolling start, it will be a rolling start. So it's just like a safety net start.

EngineerGap to Leclerc, 1.4, slippery track, turn 2 to turn 4, look after the tyre.

EngineerWe had a problem with the shifts on that last lap. Yes, in the split, Lance.

EngineerYeah, no

Sergio PEREZdamage

EngineerOK, check out. 24 laps to go. There's still points to be had.

EngineerOK Max, update on liftoff. We do not require any fuel liftoff to the end of the race, so just manage that at the moment. At this stage front tyres are on the cool side so you can cancel it if you need to.

Lance STROLLWhat's happening with the shifts? It

Engineerkeeps losing sync at the moment Lance, we're looking into it.

EngineerAnd you are the fastest man on track.

EngineerWe have a problem on the brakes. We try to fix the pit stop position.

EngineerLewis, we've got Morris up in P2 at the moment on a soft tyre, that should start to drop off, going to push them all back to you.

EngineerV2U Ok, Kimi Gasly is now 1.1 seconds behind Yeah, ok, ok, ok, I can see Copy

EngineerYoki, we need to respect 10-9 track limit. Imperative.

EngineerCopy, we can see the tyre switch front or rear mainly?

Sebastian VETTELFront right mostly. You

Engineercan use torque switch to help rotation, torque 10 suggest?

EngineerOkay, the staff finish straight is the place to attack Reichenem based on his deployment.

EngineerHappy with that Lewis, let's get after it mate.

EngineerIt's

Lando NORRISgetting quite a few vibrations, I don't know where from.

EngineerStroll is 1.7, Ricciardo 4.4, Ricciardo is really struggling, we can do it, we can do it, keep pushing.

Lando NORRISYeah, I was shaking a lot with the rear.

EngineerUnderstood mate, 10 laps to go after this one.

Lando NORRISMake sure he has blue flags, the guy ahead

EngineerThis is awesome work Lewis, come on. Got Norris ahead, P2.

EngineerGap 1.1

EngineerYou

Antonio GIOVINAZZIguys reading something over the VNO?

EngineerCopy, Antonio.

EngineerGap to Hamilton to 0.8, Leclerc 2.8

EngineerI have a little

Lando NORRISclutch slip in the middle of corners and the corner throttle, it just doesn't, no drive

EngineerLando, you're knocking the paddle, the left paddle.

EngineerAh,

Lando NORRIShe's too quick for me.

EngineerAnd the three laps remaining. That is fastest lap. Nice work Lewis.

EngineerThree laps remaining. Three laps remaining. There's still points available.

Max VERSTAPPENHow many laps to go?

EngineerThe next one is the final lap.

EngineerSebastian we need to retire the car in the garage so box box the gearbox is getting worse so just try to minimize your shift and box box

EngineerGap 1.5, two laps to go.

Lando NORRISOK, no more comments, just let me drive.

EngineerOK Max, great work. There you go, it's not always all about a Saturday. Nice job.

Max VERSTAPPENHaha, yes! That was a tricky out there, but great job guys. You managed that really well. Thank

Engineeryou. Mega job Max, mega, mega job. Great, difficult afternoon, but you nailed it. Well done.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, very happy with that.

EngineerThat's P3! P3! Great job mate! Well done! P3!

Lando NORRISYeah! Let's go! Awesome!

EngineerNice work Lewis, that is an awesome recovery. Great battle, back to V2.

Lewis HAMILTONLewis, super drive, we're leading the championship. Awesome job guys, my apologies for that mistake earlier on, but we're living with that. On to the next one.

EngineerIndeed mate, indeed.

EngineerOkay, checkered flag Mick. That's the checkered flag. Checkered flag. Good job, Mick. Okay, we had a little issue on the rear right, so it was better for us to finish one lap early. So it was better to let that blue happen. So good job, Mick. Very tricky race. Your pace was excellent there in that last stint. So good job. Yeah, the rear felt weird in that second to last lap in 2018. Yes, yes. Yeah, we have an issue on the rear right. It was just decaying, but we hung in there. But it was better to do that lap, so I'd lose that lap. So good job. Good management, and you experienced a lot of different conditions there.

Lando NORRISWhat a race, huh? Nice job, everyone. Hopefully I repaid for my mistake yesterday. It's just deserved. A lot of hard work. Yeah, boys and girls back in the factory, thanks a lot. It's a cool car to drive. Thank you.

EngineerExcellent job, mate. Well done. Lando, great job, man. Great job. Amazing job the whole weekend. Well deserved podium. You are the first fastest today and yesterday. Great job. Nice.

Lando NORRISCheers. Gracias, amigo.

EngineerVamos. Yes.

EngineerOkay Maz, that's the chequered flag, good job, obviously a very tricky race with the conditions, but you hung in there well mate, you drove well, good job.

EngineerIt's

Charles LECLERCnot easy to defend without the radio. Anyway guys, I think you can hear me. P4, P5.

EngineerQuite

Charles LECLERChappy with that. A bit frustrating for the end of the race. But it's like this. We're quite vulnerable whenever we need to defend to the others in the straights. It helped us at the beginning, but maybe at the end we were struggling a little bit. Anyway, thank you guys.

EngineerGood race from you Antonio, unfortunately bad luck at the end, you are P14.

Antonio GIOVINAZZIYes, thank you for the points with Kimi.

Engineerand P9 Kimi, P9, well done, what a race, what a race, what a defense, fantastic, well done, what a race

Kimi RAIKKONENyeah,

Engineeryeah, you could, you did a really good job

Carlos SAINZAnd P5, Carlos P5 confirmed, solid work today, well

Engineerdone.

Carlos SAINZYeah, good job guys, good recovery, sorry for the mistakes at the beginning, I was starting to, yeah, get used to the Cavalino in the rain, that is fast, Cavalino and the Toro are fast in the rain, let's get them later in the year, good learning curve. Yeah, useful learning, good

Engineerjob, thank

Carlos SAINZyou.

EngineerThat's the chequered flag Daniel, well done mate, P6, that's a good haul of points. Obviously we've got a bit of work to do as well but that's a good haul of points. Lando got P3 as well so it's a podium for the team.

Daniel RICCIARDOWell done guys, well done.

EngineerYeah well done Daniel, that was good defending at the end as well so it's a good afternoon. We've got, you know, I think it's clear what we can do for the next race as well so we'll take the next steps, do our homework and hopefully next time it'll be us on the steps. Thank you.

EngineerCheckered flag, checkered flag. P13, Yuki, P13.

Yuki TSUNODAI'm an idiot.

EngineerYuki, apart from that spin, the rest was okay. We had enough pace. We learned from that and we moved forward.

EngineerWell done, Lance. P7, P7. Well done, mate. It's a tough race, that one. That was tough. But that was fun. Got to sort those shifts out, Brad. Understood, Lance. Understood.

EngineerOkay mate, another day we were hoping for, but we had some good pace. Saw good pace yesterday, good pace today. Very, very sorry guys. Very, very sorry. I dropped like an idiot today. Sorry guys. Big apologies. Unlike Sergio, it wasn't your afternoon, but there's plenty more to come.

EngineerAnd P9 Kimi, P9, well done, what a race, what a race, what a defense, fantastic, well done, what a race Yeah,

Kimi RAIKKONENwe were so slow, we didn't know if we could get to P9 Yeah, yeah,

Engineeryou could, you did a really good job We

Kimi RAIKKONENwere fast in the right place

EngineerYep, that's an I-12 thank you. Okay mate, that's a lot of hard work to come away with nothing P-11.

EngineerAn exciting restart as well

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, just a little bit

EngineerWe'll take it mate, Hamilton is slightly fortunate, obviously being able to un-lap himself but nicely driven, really well controlled mate

Max VERSTAPPENWhat do we call that GP?

EngineerSimply something I think

Max VERSTAPPENSimply lovely performance

EngineerNice work, it is indeed

EngineerOkay and that is the checkered flag and a reminder to take some foods on board, that was quite a day. On the plus side we finished P10 and brought our first points home, so excellent job.

Esteban OCONYeah good stuff guys, one point, first of many this year, a few things to review between us but yeah let's see that later. Yeah

Engineerabsolutely, it looks like there's a possibility Räikkönen has been investigated as well ahead for... Yeah track limits, I mean he was off all the time. I don't think it's track limits actually, I think it's something to do with a restart, but we'll keep the updates on that. Anyway excellent job, normal in lap procedures please, I think you should be pleased with that, to get some points after a very messy race like that is always good, so nice work.
