EngineerOK Robert, that's 45 seconds, 45 seconds

Max VERSTAPPENCan we maybe cover this up a bit here where the drink is because it's leaking all over my hands device

EngineerWhere the tube normally is

Lewis HAMILTONRed Bull, just come to see what tyres we're wearing.

EngineerSo suggestion would be brake balance to zero just for the start.

EngineerSo no further balance adjusts to what we described a few minutes ago and Procedures for the formation lap are exactly as we've discussed up to now. So once the car fires up in about five minutes time We will turn the pit limiter on from there The only thing you need to remember is to get everything warmed up. Remember your target temperatures Don't overheat the rear brakes Remember to do the burnouts where we described at the end of the lap and then recharge off before the start after the burnouts

EngineerOk, so currently you are in torque 5, you happy with that? Yep.

Fernando ALONSOYeah, for the first gear usage in turn 1.

EngineerOkay mate, bear with me with the tires, so on Medium everybody on the top 10 but you and Daniel, out of the top 10 on Soft, Petal, Stroll and also Ocon and Tsunoda, everybody else on Medium. Have a good race!

EngineerLet's start putting the car behind

Pierre GASLYI'm okay

EngineerDo

Daniel RICCIARDOyou think the safety car will be locked?

EngineerDifficult to be sure. Suggest strat 7. Strat 7.

EngineerSo Robert we could consider to go for soft if your tires are okay on our side

Robert KUBICAOkay,

Engineerwe stay out then

George RUSSELLI think it's going to be pretty lengthy, so I'd happily box, put the quali on. Sonoda has front wing damage, he'll be boxing.

Yuki TSUNODAKubica, idiot.

EngineerKeep the RPM up when you can.

EngineerSo Daniel, we're happy in strat 7. Overtake is available. You'll need to use overtake. So Daniel, use the overtake to turn 1. Use the overtake partial throttle down to turn 1. Cancel it if you're comfortable.

EngineerRears and front left are coming up nicely, the front right is still on the low side so just watch out for a pinch. Remember who we're racing here so just bring these tyres in gently.

EngineerSuggest third gear in turn five for energy if possible.

EngineerWe have, like, a massive amount of re-walking in turn 1. Let's try multifunction A, PED 3, PED 3 for flat engine braking.

EngineerSo you're very strong, sector 2, you're purple every lap.

EngineerOkay you're doing a very good job of managing temperatures Latifi currently will not have DRS is one second behind let's see if we can push up to Vettel 1.3 ahead

EngineerCheck out give it back. We'll get him next lap

EngineerAnd maybe gravel exit turn five.

EngineerIf you want more rear support in high speeds, we have straight six.

EngineerOkay, cheer for Nutsy. Let's go.

Carlos SAINZI'm struggling a lot there Nate.

EngineerCopy, considered, 7 knots to go.

Mick SCHUMACHERThank you. Just know we are following here, it's very difficult.

EngineerCopy that.

EngineerSo that's P5, P5.

EngineerGood effort today, Checo. That was, yeah, you were the only one that actually, I think, managed to overtake anybody.

Sergio PEREZYeah, that's hard. I didn't know that. So, tomorrow, again.

EngineerYeah, that'll become PA tomorrow.

EngineerOk Robert, that's it, so more charge please, more charge, P18, P18, BOTAS 1 followed by Verstappen and Ricciardo

EngineerACS button pressed, call the car, P4, well held.

Lando NORRISYeah, good job, good for today anyway. 3rd and 4th, congrats to Danny as well, nice drive.

EngineerYeah, that's cool, we start tomorrow P3.

EngineerThat's the checker, that's the checker. P17 dude, P17. Really good drive, really good restart and you defended well from those guys and then you were pulling away from Kubica at the end. Nice job mate, P17 and Bottas will have a penalty tomorrow so that'll be P16 at the minute. Good job dude.

Nikita MAZEPINAlright, discuss later. Thank you.

EngineerP6 really really

Charles LECLERCgood job. Yeah difficult to go and take the guys in front, but Anything is possible tomorrow

EngineerFor sure you've done a great job.

Charles LECLERCBravo Shell, guys. Thank you very much

Yuki TSUNODAIt works guys, again in the start, but I think we can run it into my front wing.

EngineerYeah, lucky. Was the balance better than the morning?

Yuki TSUNODAYeah, I think it was better, yeah.

EngineerOkay, good information for tomorrow.

EngineerMP7

Carlos SAINZYeah guys, thank you for repairing the car Cheers everyone, sorry for that And yeah, we need to work a bit on the balance in those corners, it's tricky

EngineerYeah, understood We'll have a good look

EngineerGood race, Antonio. Well done. P8. That's a good position for tomorrow. Great job. Hey,

Antonio GIOVINAZZIguys. Well done.

EngineerOK, checkered flag, P15, let's go, inline. Yeah, copy, sorry about the start. Went straight into Wolfman, I think went too deep, and then, yeah, with this problem with the front wing, just couldn't get my car turned. Anyway, on to tomorrow. Yeah, copy that, thank you. Do you know when I touched the front wing, as I don't recall touching? Negative, I think all good on your side.

EngineerWell done Lance, good job that mate, P10, plenty of pick up on those tyres please, plenty of pick up on the tyres. Copy,

Lance STROLLgood job.

EngineerOK mate, nice job. Made a few places there. It'll still be a long race tomorrow. I'm sure we'll get those... get a stroll in front tomorrow.

Fernando ALONSOYeah. We got them at the start, but... it was messy.

EngineerOK, checkered flag, checkered flag, so you go in, go in Single press HPP, cool the car, cool the car, brake the tow from the car in front Try to pick up speed to cool the car And you are P14, P14 You

Nicholas LATIFIjust don't have the pace guys, sorry

EngineerThat was a great start mate, great start And then quite good pace, quite good pace to be honest

Nicholas LATIFIYeah, we just don't have it to go any further than that

EngineerThe vibrations were bad there.

Sebastian VETTELHorrendous. I had nowhere to go at the start and then, yeah, locked up initially, which was the worst time to lock up.

EngineerYeah. It

Sebastian VETTELwas really bad, I didn't see anything. Yeah, exactly, we were watching.

EngineerSo Lance finished P10, we were P12.

EngineerOK, that's the chequered flag, so almost got him, well done. All right, so that has us finishing P13. Copy that, yeah. With everything that happened, we're going to spot, so that's good. It was very close, very well managed and driven.

Esteban OCONYeah, thank you, we'll get them tomorrow.

EngineerAbsolutely.
