  1. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull12:21:380:09

    EngineerHow are our conditions?

    Max VERSTAPPENYeah, perfect for intermediate.

    EngineerOk, understood.

  2. Mick SCHUMACHERHaas12:21:540:13

    Mick SCHUMACHERIt's wetter, now it's pointy, but it's fine.

    EngineerUnderstood. So we'll box now, box, drive through pit lane.

  3. Mick SCHUMACHERHaas12:22:210:12

    Mick SCHUMACHERIt's wetter, now it's pointy, but it's fine.

    EngineerUnderstood. So we'll box now, box, drive through pit lane.

  4. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri12:23:550:08

    EngineerHow is the balance Pierre? Looks like we have a good amount of front-ends

    Pierre GASLYYeah

  5. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri12:24:140:05

    EngineerIt's a

    Pierre GASLYbit more wet than in bit 3

  6. Lando NORRISMcLaren12:24:520:11

    EngineerHow is the car balance, Lando? How is the car balance?

    Lando NORRISYeah, I'm happy.

    EngineerUnderstood. And we will drive through a pit lane again, we will drive through a pit lane again.

  7. Nicholas LATIFIWilliams12:25:330:13

    EngineerOk, we go in, go in, cool the car, pox pox for a second drive thru Copy, pox pox Copy, pox

  8. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri12:26:260:17

    EngineerWhen you stop at the back of the grid, P1, wait for the mission, on C0, looks like we pick up more understeer on the second lap already, we have a chart on the grid. Ok, I need something on my visor because I have too much water standing on the visor. Ok, Piri is listening.

  9. Yuki TSUNODAAlphaTauri12:29:450:41

    EngineerHow was the balance?

    Yuki TSUNODAYeah, I felt a little bit like we expect, bit of the front, but it's not a big issue for me, it was slow speed and like turn 7, turn 5 was quite good balance, so we can keep this, yeah, it's not like to oversteer. Second push was a bit more stable? It's quite the same, yeah, it's quite the same, similar, obviously.

    EngineerCopy that. You can jump out when you arrive at the spot.

  10. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes12:51:540:10

    Lewis HAMILTONMarcus, the question is whether you go the inside or the outside for turn 1.

  11. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri12:53:220:31

    Pierre GASLYRadio check

    EngineerRadio is good, so we've put you in offset minus 2 to avoid any risk of front lock turn 1 but we leave it up to you it's just what we saw last time but after turn 1 you can go straight back forward if you want Copy,

    Pierre GASLYI see a bit more drizzle now

    EngineerThere was a little bit more drizzle and it's calming down again No it's calming down, but there was more

  12. Carlos SAINZFerrari12:54:390:19

    EngineerYeah, it looks like it should be like this the whole race, so we just need to focus in understanding whether it's better to keep boxing for inters or stay out for the slick intermediate, is

    Carlos SAINZthe main point of understanding.

  13. Daniel RICCIARDOMcLaren12:55:540:06

    Daniel RICCIARDOAll right, radio check.

    EngineerYeah, radio is good.

  14. Fernando ALONSOAlpine12:57:110:09

    EngineerSeems like the weather will be like this for quite a while.

  15. Esteban OCONAlpine12:57:560:10

    EngineerAll right, so we'll be firing up in about two and a half minutes roughly No change to the weather. It's just gonna be like this for the rest of the afternoon

  16. Sergio PEREZRed Bull12:58:240:05

    EngineerCheck how I've applied a one-click-reward bias offset for the start.

  17. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes12:59:320:28

    Lewis HAMILTONWe're going to have to get music in this car. I can't listen to that terrible beat every single race.

    EngineerI could sing to you if you want, but I don't think that would be appreciated. Better

    Lewis HAMILTONthan this.

    EngineerYou haven't heard me sing. If

    Lewis HAMILTONwe do the job today, you'll have to sing for us after.

  18. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri13:00:330:11

    Pierre GASLYIs there any more rain coming

    Engineeror at the moment we think this will be like that? We expect these conditions to stay as they are for pretty much always.

  19. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull13:02:310:09

    EngineerIt's three long burnouts from the timing line, three long burnouts from the timing line.

  20. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull13:04:120:06

    EngineerWhen you can, max mode 7, mode 7 when you can.

  21. Nicholas LATIFIWilliams13:04:530:13

    Nicholas LATIFIContact, we are left. Contact, we are left.

    EngineerOk, we'll check. Pressure looks fine, signal press HPP. Pressure looks fine.

  22. Esteban OCONAlpine13:05:370:07

    EngineerHad a touch with Vettel, I think it's okay, but worth a check, top wing. Copy that, we'll look.

  23. Mick SCHUMACHERHaas13:06:040:06

    EngineerOkay Latifi's behind I'll get the tires going again

  27. Sergio PEREZRed Bull13:09:110:10

    EngineerOkay, so the full test is done at 34.3, max at 34.5. Let's look after this front right, look after the front right.

  28. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull13:09:360:10

    Max VERSTAPPENI could be having an error next to my gear shift, the number, I don't know what that is.

    EngineerOK, stand by.

  29. Lance STROLLAston Martin13:10:320:13

    Lance STROLLTires are overheating a lot.

    EngineerAffirm, rears are hot, rears are hot, manage the exit of 5 and 7, prioritise exit 5 and 7.

  30. Nicholas LATIFIWilliams13:11:110:12

    EngineerTurn eight manage more one step more Yeah, but we remember the long-term objective long-term objective

    Carlos SAINZYes, same for me.

    EngineerUnderstood.

  38. Sergio PEREZRed Bull13:17:470:05

    EngineerJust think about your bias offset still minus one.

  39. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes13:17:560:07

    Valtteri BOTTASThere's no dry patches on us yet.

  40. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes13:18:110:07

  41. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes13:19:190:04

    EngineerAnd keep moving off the line when you can.

  42. Daniel RICCIARDOMcLaren13:19:400:11

  47. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes13:23:140:07

    Lewis HAMILTONDry, still plenty wet. Tires wearing down.

  48. Charles LECLERCFerrari13:23:310:10

    EngineerAnd let me know what you think on track conditions if they are getting better Not

    Charles LECLERCreally

  49. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo13:24:030:16

    Kimi RAIKKONENI can drive the whole race behind, I will try, but every time I get closer, it's just closing.

    EngineerOK, give me, copy, copy.

  50. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes13:24:050:07

    EngineerThere's the light drizzle, turn 8, turn 9, 10, 11.

    Sebastian VETTELOkay, drive straight into me then.

  52. Lando NORRISMcLaren13:25:420:13

    EngineerAnd Lando, have the track conditions changed?

    Lando NORRISNo, very similar. I think some bits are definitely getting drier but it's very difficult to see.

  53. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes13:25:580:04

    EngineerExcellent work Lewis.

  54. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri13:26:440:15

    Pierre GASLYI can't move, like, turn 8 is quick

    EngineerJacob is at PR, we are a bit stand out in turn 8, but people seem to have bigger problems than us At the moment we are still doing what we think we should be doing

  55. Lance STROLLAston Martin13:27:230:12

    Lance STROLLYeah, it's getting a little bit drier, but very far from slick. There's no dry line. Super greasy. Copy that, copy that.

  56. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes13:27:430:08

    Lewis HAMILTONRight side, get the rubber board.

    EngineerThe

    Lewis HAMILTONrubber board on

    Engineerthe

    Lewis HAMILTONinside.

  57. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri13:28:060:08

    EngineerOn confirm we can see Norris Hamilton have big front right damage, big front right damage for Norris.

  58. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri13:28:240:10

    EngineerOn confirm, we can see Norris Hamilton have big front right damage, big front right damage for Norris.

  59. Daniel RICCIARDOMcLaren13:29:160:11

    EngineerOkay, groaning looks to have cleaned up. Let's see if there's anything left in the tyre. Understood.

    Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, just vibrations, but it's pretty stable.

  60. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes13:29:360:09

    EngineerDoes

    Lewis HAMILTONanyone else complain about tyres or not?

    EngineerAffirm, we're looking pretty good on aspect

  61. Sergio PEREZRed Bull13:29:490:08

    EngineerStay on with the management. Lifting Coast. We'll come back to us later. Save it now. Come back to us later.

  62. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull13:31:050:14

    EngineerIt's really good pace Max, actually let's just hold that gap to Bottas there, introduce a bit more at 3 and 8 again. It's good to know we've got the pace if we need it, and the tyres compared to him ahead.

  63. Sergio PEREZRed Bull13:31:480:07

    EngineerHow's the flap angle?

    Sergio PEREZYeah, I can take a bit more.

  64. Antonio GIOVINAZZIAlfa Romeo13:32:190:05

    EngineerStill mains limitation turn seven

  65. Sebastian VETTELAston Martin13:32:430:09

    EngineerSo temps are coming down, temps are coming down quite a lot but we do think saving in eight is best for overall tyre performance.

  66. Lando NORRISMcLaren13:34:270:12

    EngineerAnd Lando, relative to target, how far do you think this tyre can go?

    Lando NORRISIt's turned into a slick basically, so quite a long way.

  67. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull13:34:430:13

    Max VERSTAPPENBlack so very greasy, it's just not dry.

    EngineerYeah, copy that. As I say then, it's about the long game here, you know that.

  68. George RUSSELLWilliams13:36:060:13

    EngineerOkay, so maintain the management at turn eight reduce the management elsewhere now get behind this one

  69. Daniel RICCIARDOMcLaren13:36:290:09

    EngineerHow much faster could you be on a new inter, do you think?

    Daniel RICCIARDOYep, yeah, faster, quite a bit.

  70. Sebastian VETTELAston Martin13:37:030:12

    Engineerso just overall info the biggest temperatures we've got is the exit of eight so we think a bit more management especially for the exit of eight that might be through and exit of eight

  71. Esteban OCONAlpine13:37:530:06

    Esteban OCONWho's behind cause I'm blind, I can't see in the mirrors

  72. Lance STROLLAston Martin13:38:220:10

    Lance STROLLOK, I figured something out. I'm feeling much better now.

    EngineerCopy that, copy that. We're happy with Turn 8. Keep pushing.

  73. Charles LECLERCFerrari13:39:550:08

    EngineerSo at the moment Ricciardo is slower with new inters

  74. Carlos SAINZFerrari13:40:190:15

    Carlos SAINZKeep an eye on my rear.

    EngineerI

    Carlos SAINZfeel like I'm close to the canvas.

    EngineerCopy that.

    Carlos SAINZI cannot see anything on the mirrors, so no idea.

  75. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull13:40:530:09

    Max VERSTAPPENTricky group now, also from the left-hand side, tires.

    EngineerOK, understood.

  76. Carlos SAINZFerrari13:42:030:15

    EngineerThe multi be white copy will do so pit for interest just to other thing

  77. Lando NORRISMcLaren13:43:220:18

    EngineerLando, we would aim for target plus five at least, if possible.

    Lando NORRISI can't hear you very well, you need to make it clear.

    EngineerWe would aim for target plus five, if possible.

    Lando NORRISOK, I'm just at a very good pace.

  78. Carlos SAINZFerrari13:44:070:07

    Carlos SAINZYeah, I think we should try on one stop from here.

    EngineerCopy.

  79. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull13:44:180:11

    Max VERSTAPPENCar's not pointy now, so I guess we shouldn't add the wing.

    EngineerThank you.

  80. Sergio PEREZRed Bull13:44:550:05

    EngineerThe clerk's starting to struggle. He's done a 34.5.

  81. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes13:45:020:18

    EngineerSo pace is still very good, and we're going long.

    Valtteri BOTTASYeah, copy. These tyres, they're basically like sticks now, there's no surface left, but they're okay.

    EngineerSo not expecting any significant rain.

  82. Daniel RICCIARDOMcLaren13:45:180:07

    EngineerOkay, the car's still out on Inter from the start. They're starting to struggle a bit more now.

  83. Fernando ALONSOAlpine13:45:500:12

    Fernando ALONSOAnyone behind either half mirror

    EngineerLatifi six seconds behind Russell now four and a half seconds in front

  84. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes13:46:020:09

    Lewis HAMILTONGrip starting to drop a little bit. Still no dry line. Exit of 8 only.

  85. Sebastian VETTELAston Martin13:47:000:10

    EngineerSebastian, do you think it might dry before the end of the race? Do you think it will reach dry tyres?

    Sebastian VETTELYes

    EngineerCopy

  86. George RUSSELLWilliams13:47:130:12

    George RUSSELL5

    Engineerseconds to Alonso, Alonso has a time penalty in his next stop

  87. Lando NORRISMcLaren13:47:560:09

    Lando NORRISYeah, I feel like you just grain a new inter now. I feel like it'd be very difficult to get it to the slick face

  88. Yuki TSUNODAAlphaTauri13:48:480:06

    EngineerMain place turn one turn three last three corners we can improve

  89. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes13:49:080:08

    EngineerStill the rating from turn 6 to turn 12

  90. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull13:50:150:06

    Max VERSTAPPENSuffering a lot with the wheel now too.

  91. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes13:50:460:15

    Valtteri BOTTASNow I can see a dry line in places, but all the few places, turn 8, turn 9, and braking into turn 12.

    EngineerCopy that.

  92. Sebastian VETTELAston Martin13:51:520:12

    EngineerJust a question, if there was a safety car, would you consider a soft tyre?

    Sebastian VETTELProbably yes.

  93. Esteban OCONAlpine13:52:210:04

    EngineerOvertake available.

  94. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes13:52:490:09

    Valtteri BOTTASThe urea is starting to be going snappy.

    EngineerCopy, see if you can get more temperature, so start avoiding water.

  95. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo13:53:400:05

    EngineerI

    Kimi RAIKKONENcannot get past this f***ing car.

  96. Carlos SAINZFerrari13:54:410:11

    Carlos SAINZIt's raining more now

    EngineerUnderstood, within condition we stay like this for the rest of the race

  97. Lando NORRISMcLaren13:55:310:14

    EngineerIn front is Schumacher and Mazipan. Stroll 1.9 behind.

    Lando NORRISYeah, I'm just, I don't have any pace. I'm struggling so much.

  98. Sebastian VETTELAston Martin13:56:240:10

    EngineerSo the people that fitted new interns are still well outside our pit window. We are a bit slower than the cars ahead, but not slower than the cars behind.

  99. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull13:58:130:10

    Max VERSTAPPENI'm really struggling in the last sector.

    EngineerUnderstood, Max.

  100. Sergio PEREZRed Bull13:59:150:07

    EngineerHe

    Sergio PEREZpushed me off.

    EngineerCopy, check-eye. It's great defence.

  101. Nikita MAZEPINHaas14:00:090:16

    Nikita MAZEPINWhat do you think of our tires? Okay, so I don't really know

    EngineerBut

    Nikita MAZEPINI can keep going Okay understood

  102. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull14:01:410:09

    EngineerWe need to bring this tighter in slowly. Bring this tighter in slowly with the drier conditions, Max.

  103. Sebastian VETTELAston Martin14:02:270:05

    Sebastian VETTELUh, it's not working.

  104. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull14:02:510:07

    EngineerVettel dry tires really slow through turn eight apex turn eight

  105. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo14:04:170:22

    EngineerWhat tires you gonna put in? Inter. Why the f*** you would stop then? It's ok still. Because we believe we can't go to the end like this Kimi. We can't go to the end, still 20 laps. Front wing question? Plus 3. Plus 3, copy.

  106. Lance STROLLAston Martin14:05:160:07

    EngineerSlicks are bad, it's a new inter to the end.

    Lance STROLLBoxers down.

  107. Mick SCHUMACHERHaas14:06:120:07

    EngineerUse all the tire now use it all now Vettel behind us for position

  108. Charles LECLERCFerrari14:06:230:10

    Charles LECLERCCan I stay with this set until the end of the race?

    EngineerYes, you can stay until the end with this set.

  109. Lance STROLLAston Martin14:07:450:07

    Lance STROLLGot to really watch turn 8, right?

    EngineerAffirm, manage 8, you're doing a good job.

  110. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:08:130:12

    EngineerBox, box, box, box. Why? New inset is the way to go. I think it is, man.

  111. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull14:09:040:10

    EngineerOkay, Hamilton has stayed out. He's been asked to fit.

  112. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:09:280:10

    EngineerIt

    Lewis HAMILTONfeels like we should stay out, man.

    EngineerOK, we'll stay out one more lap. Gives us a bit more thinking time.

  113. Lando NORRISMcLaren14:10:370:12

    EngineerLando we've been told you will not get flags for Vettel unless we get within 1.2 we only have to do it once so if you can try it's 1.7 now

  114. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:11:040:09

    EngineerIt's not

    Lewis HAMILTONfar off the rise, but...

    EngineerOK, copy Lewis, we won't react yet.

  115. Lando NORRISMcLaren14:11:480:05

    EngineerCould try early overtake out of turn nine.

  116. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull14:12:000:08

    Max VERSTAPPENI don't know what's wrong with my steering wheel, but it's going more and more left and up.

  117. Charles LECLERCFerrari14:13:000:12

    Charles LECLERCIf we stay at this pace, what are we looking for in terms of position?

    EngineerIf we can keep Bottas behind, P1.

  118. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull14:13:260:12

    EngineerI think he's trying to hang it out in case it gets to dry tires

  119. Sebastian VETTELAston Martin14:14:020:08

    Sebastian VETTELI disagree on tire-saving it just stays with the graining for longer

  120. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo14:14:320:08

    EngineerOk Kimi, your pace is very good. Leclerc ahead is struggling, he hasn't stopped yet.

  121. Charles LECLERCFerrari14:15:290:13

    EngineerWe think we should stop and push for the last 12 laps. Copy. If yes, I can keep a 35.5 for

    Charles LECLERCyour info. Let me know if you stop or not.

  122. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:16:180:10

    Lewis HAMILTONBut these tyres last to the end. Straighten up, Bob.

    EngineerCopy, Lewis. Yeah, we're just debating if these will last into the dry.

  123. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes14:16:480:04

    EngineerCome on, Valtteri.

  124. Daniel RICCIARDOMcLaren14:17:070:09

    EngineerIt's even lighter in the pit lane now. How's the conditions on track? A

    Daniel RICCIARDObit more dry, but still not there.

  125. Charles LECLERCFerrari14:19:060:07

    EngineerAnd Sainz is happy with the inters. We think you can push until the end with this set.

  126. Esteban OCONAlpine14:20:340:15

    EngineerHow's that front right, Esteban?

    Esteban OCONNot too much worse, so that's not too bad.

    EngineerCopy. OK, so I want a lap-by-lap update on that tyre. Please stroll four and a half seconds behind.

  127. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:20:460:13

    EngineerAnd Lucy can you update us on the tyres? I

    Lewis HAMILTONmean I'm sliding around but it's ok, so far

    EngineerOk copy

  128. Daniel RICCIARDOMcLaren14:21:420:07

    EngineerHopefully

    Fernando ALONSOwe can qualify again, hopefully we can qualify at the front next races and maybe have another chance, but I think anyway the car was good this weekend, good

    Engineerjob. I'm sure we will mate, should get a bit more normal racing ahead of us now.

  161. George RUSSELLWilliams14:48:420:43

    EngineerOK, checkered flag, nice and slow on the way in, nice and slow on the way in, P15. That was a tough afternoon.

    EngineerYou

    Daniel RICCIARDOdid, to be honest mate you did a good job keeping it on track those last few laps, I could see there was absolutely no grip. Yeah, yeah understood. Yeah it was probably like four good laps where I had grip but the rest was, yeah it was tricky. So your pace before you caught up to Stroll, that phase of the race was pretty good to be honest. I know it maybe didn't feel great but your pace in that phase from when you passed Latifi to when you caught up with Stroll was very good. Yeah understood. Alrighty. Alright thanks guys, I know there was some late nights this weekend so we'll come back and make some good shit happen. Cheers.

  168. Esteban OCONAlpine14:55:190:17

    EngineerThat was a hard work point, but very well done, very well done, that was nice. Yeah, that was very well managed by you, very well done indeed. Good job, and we got something out of it as well, excellent work. Yeah, there's a few more corners I think that would have exploded.
