EngineerOkay, Madison, back to mode F2, mode F2, and radio check into turn one.
EngineerYou've done your feedback, that was 1% deep, initial throttle can be earlier.
Daniel RICCIARDOOK, understood, turn 7.
EngineerThat's turn 7 loud and clear.
EngineerSuper low bog. No
Lewis HAMILTONpower for a sec.
EngineerYeah, copy. We were just looking into that.
EngineerFromming update?
Max VERSTAPPENLeave it for now.
EngineerUnderstood, so make your way to the end of the pit lane.
EngineerDo you want the flap adjust?
Sergio PEREZYeah, let's go up on the flap.
EngineerOkay, into the boys.
EngineerAnd Daniel, clutch was on target, but holding clutch a little too long.
Daniel RICCIARDOOK, understood.
Engineerall okay with the car question yes
Lance STROLLokay
Engineercopy that big lift off into turn 12 and go to the grid big lift off in 12 and go to the grid copy
Engineer30% on that clutch drop once again. Same with the big lift into 12 please. We're going to the grid. Okay, brake temps are all good. We're stopping back of the grid left hand side. Mechanics should be there.
Carlos SAINZHow was the target?
EngineerGood on target, but the throttle projection was too early.
Lando NORRISJust anything is pre-launch is pretty difficult to hit, the revs drop quite a bit throughout the pre-launch phase.
EngineerOK understood, Peter will be looking on it.
EngineerIt
Lewis HAMILTONwas definitely hard to get a feel for the car there.
EngineerYeah, copy, surface temps are very low compared to what we expect. I was very shy, I was doing
Lewis HAMILTONthe starts before the line, so it was pretty dirty there.
EngineerYeah, understood Lewis, the grip is going to come up once we're on the grip.
Sergio PEREZHave a look at the at the end just before reaching the boys. I had like a bug from
Engineerthe engine
George RUSSELLMy visor just feels a little bit loose, if we've got a tool to tighten it slightly please. There's probably one for a leash.
EngineerOkay Mick, it's six minutes till we go. Six minutes, you can do some practice.
Max VERSTAPPENRadio check.
EngineerLoud and clear.
Max VERSTAPPENIs it possible to clean my dash here on the wheel? It's a bit dirty.
EngineerOkay, so that's just under six minutes. Formation lap procedures. So at mode 12 for the dummy launch and formation lap, pit limiter off and the static bike 1-5-1 so far, you're on the ground, carry out your launch to third gear, start the formation lap procedure. And as you come around back onto the pit straight from the McLaren pit wall, click the overtake and two long burnouts and the extra ramp.
EngineerSo they're just thinking turn 1, they're not happy to use EB2 or EB3 just to help with that late front pinching
Lewis HAMILTONAs
Engineerwell as B MIG1 I used MIG1 for the last two stops, turn 1 Yeah, I mean with MIG1 the pinching was reduced but I could still see a little bit there So come up on then, ok? Yep Yeah so Lewis do you want to take that extra half a hole or maybe a full hole? Which one sorry mate, the one we spoke about? Yeah copy, haven't done anything yet Ok so it's the two down from where we are which you said that matches V3, yep? I haven't done that final adjust yet but yeah just want to make sure you're in agreement with it Yeah might just need to do another half on top of that maybe Ok
Charles LECLERCThey are pushing like crazy!
Esteban OCONGot OK, but big hit.
EngineerCopy that, we're watching. All OK so far.
EngineerSimply lovely that Max.
EngineerCar behind Hamilton, then Checo.
EngineerSafety car deployed Max, safety car deployed, staying out, dash positive, dash positive, and just think about your brake bias offset for the moment, currently at minus four.
EngineerSo we've got Perez at Carbine.
Lewis HAMILTONThere's Valtteri.
EngineerSo Valtteri had a tap. He's now back of the grid. He's continuing to run.
EngineerSo keep cleaning the tyre surface, keep cleaning the tyre surface.
Valtteri BOTTASSomething hit me and caused me to spin. Is it?
Sergio PEREZWho was the idiot that crashed into Bottas? He nearly took me off as well.
EngineerOkay, there's a split developing on front brake so hard braking in straight line into turn four Consider red button consider red button
EngineerOk Daniel, there is some damage to the left hand side rearward deflector, that's like the barge board area, it doesn't look massive at the moment, difficult to give you numbers until we start running normally, the back of the floor is ok.
EngineerSo tyres are in a pretty good window. We'll take a little bit of lift and coast for engine temp just for more margin at the restart
Nicholas LATIFIHe just turned into me. Copy,
Engineercopy. Please confirm front wing is okay.
EngineerGap 1.6
Esteban OCONYeah, could be hit on the side though, I'm sure now. Copy that.
EngineerGap, 2.4, 2.4 max. Remember what I said, it's the last race.
EngineerIt's
Lewis HAMILTONquick.
EngineerThe gap's at 2.7. So just look after that front left tyre as the temperature comes up.
EngineerAnd Ram bought us at Stint City last race.
EngineerRoss' Tamax are breaking for Turn 4, and through Turn 9 also.
Valtteri BOTTASThis train I feel like there's not much I can do apart from kill my tyres.
EngineerWhat you're doing is good for engine temps so you are able to be this close engine temps under control
EngineerOkay mate, that's Mazipan in front. In front of him are three cars. The lead is Raikkonen. He's P9.
EngineerNice work
Carlos SAINZYeah, I'm a bit quicker on shelves, but what do you want me to do, cool the tires or what?
Engineerconsider up on torque if you want to stabilize entries
EngineerAnd BB-1 for BT. BB-1 for BT.
Nicholas LATIFIIt's
Engineerworse
Nicholas LATIFIthan qualifying. I can't race, I can't carry speed. I don't know what I can do.
EngineerUnderstood. Do the best job you can. Focus on that.
EngineerOkay, let's close up to Hamilton. Main losses in the high speed, 7, 9, 10.
George RUSSELLAt the pit stop, right tap side mirror, down.
Lewis HAMILTONTyre is dropping up now 7
EngineerOK, Checo, how's the balance?
Sergio PEREZYeah, I've been struggling a bit with the understeer, but the rear tyres are getting hot. Just grip overall. I don't think there's much we can do on balance.
EngineerOK, copy that, Checo. Flap adjust for the next stint.
Sergio PEREZYeah, normal adjustment.
EngineerCopy.
EngineerAnd give us a balance check when you can.
Valtteri BOTTASMainly understeer behind the car ahead, in
Engineerhigh
Valtteri BOTTASspeed.
EngineerCopy that, so we see a bit of drop on the medium.
Sergio PEREZMy tires are just getting better
EngineerCopy
Carlos SAINZYeah, this is a status 3 lap.
EngineerUnderstood, guys, we lap 10-22-1, charge lap 10-22-0, as you did. And leaders, let's tap 10-21-1 for info.
EngineerOk Kimi, your brakes are all good, we don't need lift off for the brake.
Engineerall our temperatures are good all our temperatures are good yes good good so all our temperatures are good now tyres are going to get better from here
EngineerWe're looking at plan B.
EngineerAnd how is the balance?
Fernando ALONSOIt's about right.
EngineerA
Fernando ALONSOlittle bit on the understeering side if anything.
EngineerOK, copy that.
EngineerOkay Mads, we're soon going to start getting the blues. Let's keep that three second gap to Latifi. He's going to get the blues as well. There might be some opportunities. Let's not drop away from him. Soon we'll have a blue for Verstappen. I'll tell you when.
EngineerIt could be some time to find turn seven time to find turn seven
EngineerOkay, so Hamilton's picked it up a bit. 21-2. Let's stay on him.
EngineerOkay, we're starting to catch the first back markers. Mazepin's in front of Hamilton.
EngineerOK, let's have the tides.
Max VERSTAPPENNot too bad, just have to be a little bit careful that we are on entry.
Engineerand london minor how's the pace yeah
Lando NORRISpaced one two just on thermal limit really
EngineerSo Sebastian, this pace is really good. Giovanazzi is still well outside our pit window. He's behind Ricciardo and Bottas and you're pulling away from those guys as well. So let's keep this up as best we can.
EngineerAnd plan A confirmed, we are racing ghastly
EngineerDaniel, how's the flap angle?
Daniel RICCIARDOI could probably come up half a turn.
Daniel RICCIARDOBut it, yeah, the balance is changing quite, quite quickly.
EngineerCopy.
EngineerThese guys are obviously too fast for us. Yeah, copy Lewis. Let's keep on building the gap to Perez.
EngineerLando, both safety car windows are open, please confirm.
Lando NORRISYeah, confirm.
EngineerOkay, let's stay on Hamilton. Close this gap up.
Lewis HAMILTONDown to the waist, ma'am
EngineerOkay, so we're looking at plan B plus 5, plan B plus 5, might be longer.
EngineerOK Lando, we're thinking plan A but looking to extend, look to extend.
Lando NORRISOK, yeah it's just quite consistent now but don't have
Engineera
Lando NORRISlot more pace.
EngineerUnderstood.
EngineerI
Daniel RICCIARDOthink the wing's not in a bad place, just front's are running hot, so I don't have much front.
EngineerCopy.
EngineerOkay, check how this plays out.
EngineerMore lifting coast will help front tyre temperatures.
EngineerClears a good lap here, Leclerc, 4 behind, Latifi 4 in front, we will get another blue flag in some laps, Latifi 4 in front
Pierre GASLYI'm good with the tyres
EngineerAnd Lewis, we're looking at target plus 6, target plus 6.
EngineerWe need to increase lift and coast for fuel, so that's target level 4, last few laps been level 2 or 3.
EngineerGasly lap time 21.9, Sainz behind 22.0
EngineerOk Kimi, Alonso behind being told they want to extend, so on our side all ok we keep pushing
EngineerBox opposite Gasly.
Charles LECLERCI cannot see him.
EngineerI
Charles LECLERCcannot see him.
EngineerUnderstood.
Max VERSTAPPENUh, ties are good.
EngineerSo box D-slap box, speed confirmed.
Max VERSTAPPENYeah, just checking out my two games on that new set.
EngineerYeah, we are monitoring, Max. Don't worry.
EngineerOK, check out how are the tyres.
Sergio PEREZI mean, they're not too bad to keep this pace. I'm starting to get honesty.
EngineerOkay, so at the moment we're looking at plan B. Plan B, target plus 10. Leclerc coming out of the pit lane now, just stopped for hard tyres.
Fernando ALONSORepeat the plan.
EngineerPlan B, target plus 10.
Pierre GASLYAll right, it's all good push
Engineernow push now look their book
EngineerAnd 4.4 seconds safe to Perez.
EngineerSo box and pick confirm, Max. Box, pick confirm.
EngineerPace the last two laps has been good Daniel that's been good Verstappen has pitted
EngineerHamilton turn 14 he's hit those first two laps on his hard tyre quite hard first lap for a 99 and a 20.2 so let's bring these in nice and gently Max
EngineerHow much interlapse at 20.2 or 20.4?
Sergio PEREZGet maxed and coffee back.
EngineerKeep on pushing, check out.
EngineerAnd just reset your tools as you need to, Max.
EngineerOkay, so that first stint was 33 laps long. We're looking for 38 this stint.
EngineerSo Sebastian, 36 laps to go, 36. This tyre, remember, for the first 10 or so laps needs surface looking after. The lifts and coast will help, but you don't need any more than you are doing.
Sergio PEREZStars are getting good
EngineerCopy
EngineerYeah, this place is good
EngineerYou are bringing the rays in nicely.
EngineerAnd gap at 0.6
George RUSSELLHow are we for fuel?
EngineerOkay, so at the moment no threats from behind. At the moment we are considering plan A again.
EngineerOn Sainz, 21-7 last lap
Pierre GASLYIs he a threat or not?
EngineerNegative, not at the moment, negative, just keeping you posted Leclerc 21-9
EngineerOK, we need to clear Latifi. Gasly's coming.
Lance STROLLYes.
Engineerengine and brakes are good, we need to push now, we need to push now, car behind is Gasly, two seconds, will be blue flags for him soon, two seconds, keep pushing
EngineerBox this lap, box this lap.
EngineerBox this lap box this lap
EngineerFeedback on the hard tyres, Vettel doing 21.5, Reichenem 22.0
Fernando ALONSOYeah, three
Engineeryears, not easy now Ok, understood
Daniel RICCIARDOHow was the medium?
EngineerMedium looks better tyre, medium looks the better tyre
Daniel RICCIARDOOkay,
EngineerLando is still out on the medium lap times are good
Lewis HAMILTONLet me know where they're quicker man, where Verstappen's quicker. So
Engineerto Verstappen, main losses exit 11, exit turn 13.
EngineerAnd we need to focus mid to exit turn 13. Do not push too hard into 12.
Charles LECLERCThe message is not clear. Do I need to be quicker in mid or slower in mid? Better exit or better mid?
EngineerBetter exit turn 13.
Max VERSTAPPENCan you keep an eye on my left front tyre compared to Adam Giebel? Yes.
EngineerYour tyre surface condition looks very good Max.
Fernando ALONSOWhich position are we?
EngineerKind of P9, P9
EngineerYour tyre surface condition looks very good Max.
Carlos SAINZIf we want to catch Ghastly, we need to start pushing, no?
EngineerUnderstood, I'll let you know.
Max VERSTAPPENI'll throw this check-up behind Lewis.
Engineer6.5 He is catching it.
EngineerOkay, there is no puncture. There is no puncture. Keep going.
Engineer24 knots remaining, we're going to catch them.
EngineerOkay Lando you can start pushing on the tyre from now so to be clear Räikkönen is P8, 16 seconds up the road, six tenths slower, he's our minimum target let's go get him.
EngineerOkay, 20.6 for Hamilton. He's in free air. That's his pace. 1.2 seconds taken out of him that lap. Gap down to 6 seconds.
EngineerGap to Hamilton now at 12.8
Max VERSTAPPENYeah, I'm just managing
EngineerYeah, copy That's perfect Max, just look after the car
EngineerAnd for tyre life you can push till the end, just the overeating to keep under control.
Carlos SAINZYes, surface, yes. So what's
Engineerthe
Carlos SAINZproblem?
EngineerYou can push to catch Gasly. Gasly lap time 21.8
George RUSSELLThe gear shifts up to turn four feel pretty poor.
Lewis HAMILTONYou guys still there?
EngineerAffirm, still here.
EngineerJust to let you know you had the left toggle on for the whole lap. We're happy with that. Just make sure yeah
EngineerSo from the planner, looks like the catch is going to be towards maybe the last lap, but it's jumping around a bit.
EngineerI'm going
Nikita MAZEPINto start this man toasting, I'm struggling with the rears.
EngineerOkay best places for that is four and then into six as well and turn one and turn 12.
EngineerBlue flag for Leclerc, blue flag for Leclerc and Sainz immediately behind Leclerc. We need to cool the car so these blue flags are good, let them through as quickly as you can and lift and cool the car.
Engineerand we should try to swap positions with Sainz and he will try to attack Gatling
EngineerJust keep focus, exit turn 16 and it should be ok to keep Ricciardo behind.
EngineerThat's a great job. That's a great job. Push on now. We can get Ocon. Come on.
Lewis HAMILTONLoose knots the car head
EngineerThe clerk has picked up his pace to match us now.
Carlos SAINZCharles is doing a lot of mistakes to keep me behind, I think.
Lewis HAMILTONSorry I wasn't wearing it.
EngineerBrakes are good, tyres are good, battery's good, let's go.
Sergio PEREZEngine, engine is good.
EngineerEngine's good.
EngineerOk, Pierre Ferrari just swapped their car, now we have Sainz behind us, but he's still 12 behind, a long way away. I'll keep you posted on Sainz.
Lewis HAMILTONIt's crazy. I can't get close.
EngineerMy
Lewis HAMILTONeyes are getting hot.
EngineerMiner, purple C9 position 6, so Hamilton and Perez are fighting behind, the key thing will be doing a good job of letting them through to keep tyre temperature and hoping Alonso suffers when they catch him
Lando NORRISC1
EngineerSo now we focus on staying in the low 21, and we focus on no mistake, clean driving.
Pierre GASLYYeah, I'm just losing a bit of downforce with the car.
EngineerOkay, let's stay with them now benefit from when they go through Alonso.
Lando NORRISYeah, that's obvious
EngineerThat's nine laps to go dude nine laps to go we can use these tires
Charles LECLERCThis stuff is so freaking weird!
EngineerCopy and paste it.
Lewis HAMILTONCar said it's over hot, it's a region Yeah,
Engineercopy
EngineerIt's another very good lap. Young mates in the lap time. Gasly lap time 21.1. You can do it.
EngineerBottas has pitted, Bottas has pitted.
EngineerSo he's just fitted a scrub soft obviously going for fastest lap. He won't get the point
EngineerThe RS is worth quite a lot, so I try to keep it within.
Carlos SAINZI don't know what time it is
EngineerUnderstood, gas is up in 20.9
EngineerOkay, man, so that's five to go. We gave it too much beans at the
Nikita MAZEPINbeginning, man.
EngineerSorry. No problem, no problem. Good learning, dude. Five laps to go.
Valtteri BOTTASHe's slowing me down.
EngineerYou can overtake him.
EngineerOK, let him go, Max. Mate, he's in front. He's in my way. Max, he's not quick. No, he is in my way. Understood.
EngineerOkay drain the battery drain the battery final lap this is it
EngineerThat shit's still good. That shit's good.
EngineerAh yes, that's more like it. Great drive today Max, great drive.
Max VERSTAPPENYes!
EngineerWhat a race! That was great guys, what an unbelievable pace in the car. What a mate, that was absolute textbook, you were fantastic, very very well done. Checo up there as well, double podium, no boss as in the points and you got fastest lap. Yes, that's always good, great job today guys, really really well done to everyone. Also the pit crew, great great job, let's keep this up. Sorry you didn't get fastest lap in the end, Bottas nicked it off you.
Sergio PEREZThank you guys, I'm so happy we won in my country. Thank you guys. Now time for some tequila!
Lewis HAMILTONI gave it everything. I
Engineerleft
Lewis HAMILTONthe place.
EngineerOkay Maz, that's the checker. That's the checker. Difficult race with our pace that we've got at the minute in the blues But we'll get better. A good drive from you, mate
Nikita MAZEPINErnie, thank you for everything what you've done for me. It's been an awesome experience with you, mate
EngineerThank you Maz. Thank you very much, brother. It has been an honor and a pleasure Unfortunately at the moment perseverance and dedication are the only thing that we can use but don't worry Keep keep working as hard as you are and next year is going to be better. The result will come your way Proud of you, buddy
Nikita MAZEPINThank you
EngineerYep, you were a metronome out there mate I'll explain to you what that means if you don't know what it is So you're parking at 13 please Max. Adrian's coming up to get the podium with you today 30 years since his first Grand Prix victory, which was here. So Thought it'd be good for him to come up and enjoy the madness with you
Max VERSTAPPENYou'll definitely get soaked
EngineerWell done Lewis, been a tough day in the office today, but yeah great drive to hold on to P2, certainly didn't have the fastest race car today.
Lewis HAMILTONWell done lads, that was a tough one, that was a tough one. Thank you so much for all the continued work, let's keep pushing. They had no tyres left at the end.
EngineerYou're on the podium. On the podium in Mexico.
Sergio PEREZAh, guys. Thank you. We wanted more there, I know. But it was impossible. Thanks to all the fans. This is an amazing day. Thank you, guys. Checo, enjoy this slowdown lap and enjoy the podium. Fantastic job today. Amazing. Amazing. Thank you, guys. I'm so happy we won in my country. Thank you, guys. Time for some tequila. Exactly. A Mexican in Mexico. Have some fun up there. Adrian's coming up. It's been 30 years since his first win, so he's coming up to get the trophy today. Make sure he wears the crash helmet, please.
EngineerThis podium's going to be fun.
Sergio PEREZLet's enjoy it, man. We deserve it after so much work we've done together, guys.
EngineerOk, go in, go in, large PU cooling, and anti-maple, anti-maple, confirm you understand, please confirm I don't understand Ok, so slow in lap
Nicholas LATIFICopy, yeah, definitely, anyways thanks for the hard work as always guys, but yeah, just came undone at the start, I mean, it was a blue flag race, nothing I could do Copy
Pierre GASLYA-B-O-N-I-C-K.
EngineerNice job, mate.
Pierre GASLYYeah, that was amazing. Amazing. I hope you enjoyed this one. I enjoyed it. It was a bit lonely, but honestly, I had everything under control, and the car was so nice to drive, so thanks a lot, guys. Really happy, a lot of points for the team, and yeah, we are catching. Yeah, nice job.
EngineerIf I'm not
Pierre GASLYwrong, we are equal in points now, so yeah, so happy. So happy, I think. Very well executed weekend, and yeah, it was just so nice from everyone till the checkered flag, so nice job. Yeah, very good effort there. Very good teamwork this weekend. We did one medallist style. We like it. Now we do the same next week. Yeah, same again, same again. We have to get a bit more rewards from the sprint quality.
EngineerOK mate, that's the flag, so go in-lap, we need max car cooling on the in-lap, so as much car cooling as you can please. So don't worry about the brakes, let's just do max cooling for the PU, in the end that was P16, Nicholas P17. That
George RUSSELLwas a very very tough race, very very tricky. Thought we were done for a good lap after that lap one,
Engineerand then yeah, just
George RUSSELLhad no grip, struggling.
EngineerYeah copy, yeah same, first five laps were mega weren't they, but it soon became difficult, and difficult last few laps as well. I must
George RUSSELLsay, got a bit of a dry mouth, haven't lost the drinks, but not too chubby.
EngineerYeah copy that mate, that's not the day to do that is it, that's a shame, we'll look into that.
EngineerSo pick up rubber you can Tough day in the office. So Verstappen won it. Strap won. Verstappen won it 16 seconds to Lewis and Paris right behind Lewis for the last 15 laps and you got the fastest They took away a point from Verstappen
EngineerB5, B5.
Charles LECLERCYeah, good teamwork. I think the swap worked well and thanks to Carlos for respecting what we were saying before the race. Then on my side, we need to understand what happened on this hard tyre. Very, very strange. I've never had something similar before. So yeah, just to look to understand for the future.
EngineerUnderstood. And first McLaren Norris P10.
Charles LECLERCOkay, that's good for the championship.
EngineerOkay Lance, that's P14, P14. That was a good drive, you stayed out of trouble Turn 1 and that was an excellent move on Russell. It was a tough day but well done, good drive.
Lance STROLLNo, it's okay, I see it on the board.
EngineerYeah, copy, Sebastian P7, good points for the team.
EngineerI'm P6, P6. He did an awesome job out there. Very well done. Yeah, good performance. I think we need to be happy with that. Here's the start, a bit unlucky again. Yeah, exactly. But in terms of pace, one of the best weekends for sure. Bravo, Carlos. Grazie. Niente, piacere. Buon lavoro a tutti. I think we are heading the championship now. Yes, we are. Good job.
EngineerNice chequered flag mate, well done. P7, P7, a good lap at the end, well done.
Sebastian VETTELSolid, solid job. Thank you guys. I think it's all down to Jamie's looks. Well done Jamie, thank you.
EngineerNice one Jamie.
Sebastian VETTELOkay, well thank you. Bit messy at the start there with the Mercedes spinning, I couldn't really go anywhere so lost the position to the Alfa. Yeah, copy but at least we kept it all clean, well done.
EngineerOkay that's the checkered flag, SNARO 12 as you've done and drinks reminder as well please drinks reminder. Alright so we finished up P13 there which given where we started isn't too bad.
Esteban OCONYeah it was a good effort guys yeah it was elbows out today but it was not enough unfortunately but yeah car was pretty really good in the race so that's a very positive sign so just a shame about these two incidents because probably without Russell and Latifi would have get the points.
EngineerI think there'd have been a good chance of it yes but you know that's how it plays out sometimes.
EngineerOk, that's it, check out flag, well done, well done, P8, good and full of points, very good race as usual.
Kimi RAIKKONENThank you.
EngineerNice P9 mate, P9, well, well, managed.
Fernando ALONSOYes, well done guys, back in the points, yeah, only missed Austin, but yeah, happy with the points, happy with the weekend, not easy. Not easy weekend, but yeah, well executed again.
EngineerCopy that, good to score points in the difficult weekends as well, they keep pushing.
Fernando ALONSOWell done guys, difficult weekend, but we never give up.
EngineerOkay Daniel, that's the chequered flag. Can I have ACS off and recharge on? ACS off and recharge on. We finished P12. Mate, you've defended really well against the pole sitter there. We had damage on the car. It cost quite a lot of downforce. So I think you probably know that, but just so you're aware.
Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, yeah, understood.
EngineerYeah,
Daniel RICCIARDOI'll have a look at obviously first lap again. Yeah. Sorry about that. If it was my fault, sorry about that.
EngineerSo the stewards looked at it and they haven't. They said there was no investigation necessary. I haven't seen it in detail myself.
Daniel RICCIARDOOkay. All right. Understood. He has obviously a good start. Well, the first part.
EngineerYeah. All
Daniel RICCIARDOright. Sorry, guys.
EngineerThank you anyways. There's still plenty of opportunities, Daniel. Quali was good and there's still four more races to go. Yeah.
Daniel RICCIARDOYeah. Understood. All right. Thank you.
EngineerOkay mate, that's P10.
Lando NORRISCheers, good race, I don't think we could have done a lot more.
EngineerCool, cheers, the first hint was pretty strong.
Antonio GIOVINAZZIHey guys, thanks for the great strategy
