Engineer: Reminder for good work on these brakes and then build some temperature in the high speed and then we're boxing the slab
Engineer: I
Oscar PIASTRI: think a bit under, but I'll take more of this lap.
Logan SARGEANT: Yeah, I think I felt like a little I Don't know I felt like a little power cut exit of eight. I don't know
Engineer: OK, so this will be your lap to the grid now, so you can push with recharge off until after turn 4, then recharge on, happy to continue to push through turns 6 and 7, and then you're going to the grid please.
Engineer: OK mate, keep your pace up on the way round and go to the grid please and try your drinks kit if you haven't already.
ZHOU Guanyu: So, Caius,
Engineer: Alonso, Valtteri, Magnussen, Hart, rest, video.
Pierre GASLY: All right, let's do these guys good points today
Engineer: And that start was good on target good on target you were just a little slow releasing the clutch at the beep
Kevin MAGNUSSEN: I have a curse problem.
Logan SARGEANT: I didn't hit anything but check my front wing a lot of debris
Lando NORRIS: I'm guessing it's going to be because of the amount of debris. Turn one.
Engineer: There might be some debris at turn one, might be debris at turn one.
Esteban OCON: Small vibration, I think you're good, but yeah.
Engineer: Mode push, mode push.
Kevin MAGNUSSEN: Debris, burst me off at the exit of 10-4.
Engineer: Copy that, Kev. We're on it.
Engineer: The biggest loss to sites are breaking at 10-4.
Engineer: And I'm just confirming we are currently plan A so you know what you need to do
George RUSSELL: What moral next
Engineer: time what the RS has been enabled this lap Perez car behind
Kevin MAGNUSSEN: Just saving my tires at the moment
Engineer: and reset brake balance when you can
Engineer: Out of turn one, the bump that we talked about, keep to the right side of the track, out of turn one up the hill.
Lando NORRIS: Track limits again Hamilton. That's his third time.
Engineer: We're on it
ZHOU Guanyu: I can get Gatsby as long as he's out of the ice, I will get him.
Esteban OCON: 8 gear downgrading each time
Engineer: I recommend going beaming four then using magic for turn three and four
Engineer: Let me know of our pace.
Carlos SAINZ: I think you can see it. I don't need to let you know.
Engineer: Come on guys
Engineer: Every time Hamilton goes off, please report it.
Lando NORRIS: I mean, he's going off every lap everywhere. I'm not going to talk the whole time.
Kevin MAGNUSSEN: I'm just waiting for the aperture to lose their rest
Oscar PIASTRI: Uh, I'm struggling with both exos, but mainly real.
Engineer: Okay, mode push, reset funk, Joe has already pitted, he's four seconds behind, but we were quicker than him earlier, so we should pull away.
Lewis HAMILTON: Let's go slow mate.
Engineer: Copy.
Engineer: Let us know if it's like another step in mid support. Yeah, it's just a bit a little bit.
Fernando ALONSO: Aero balance, I think it's okay, a bit understeer.
Engineer: OK Lewis, so we now have a black and white flag for track limits, so it's turn 10. I can't keep it on the track, the car won't turn.
Fernando ALONSO: High speed but then the rest is oversteer
Nico HULKENBERG: Oh, I lost power.
Carlos SAINZ: Okay, I have pace, guys. Let me try, maybe, hoping I can go on for max.
Lewis HAMILTON: Which corner is it
Engineer: Lando Durex is enabled. Carbine is Sainz. We jumped him in that.
Engineer: And you are doing a good job on peak and release brake pressure, continue like this
Carlos SAINZ: Guys, come on, why we don't stay out? Come on!
Engineer: So everyone in front did stop except for Perez the Perez the only one who didn't stop
Engineer: To know that Magnussen and Bottas in the pack ahead didn't pit. They're holding cars up. It was a great opportunity.
Esteban OCON: Yes for the damage for us it's gonna fall off
Lewis HAMILTON: They can't
Engineer: just
Lewis HAMILTON: break so much later than me
Max VERSTAPPEN: I think deck is not high, to be honest.
Engineer: Understood, Max.
Engineer: Just some background info as well, race control still very hot on track limits, there's been a few black and white flags already dealt.
Lewis HAMILTON: Yep, press went off, turn 10. Don't dish these things out, we might as well know.
Engineer: a third strike third strike and black and white flag be careful nine and ten the next one will be five seconds penalty
Oscar PIASTRI: Take the front way
Lewis HAMILTON: That's completely off the turn 10. Has he got a penalty yet?
Engineer: Sir, nothing for Perez at the moment.
Engineer: And reminder track limits signed as a ready for strikes
Engineer: This
Lewis HAMILTON: guy's been off every single time. Turn 10, again.
Engineer: Copy.
Logan SARGEANT: Yeah, just keep holding your tires.
Engineer: I'm already starting to feel a bit of rear deck. Copy, we'll let you know.
Lance STROLL: All right, it's feeling all right.
Engineer: Copy Lance, deg is high, so you've done a good job. The track limits feedback is very late, so you need to manage it yourself, do the best you can.
Engineer: Fernando we're getting very late notification on track limits lots of people are getting lots of track limit violations so just be careful as you can
Engineer: And I know how the pace how the tires and what about pace zero
Lando NORRIS: That's fine at the minute just how much it's quicker this did
Carlos SAINZ: There are only strikes in turn 9, 10. I cannot see it.
Fernando ALONSO: Plan A is still the best.
Engineer: Yes, it is, mate. Yes.
Engineer: I know you'll hate me, but we must be within track limits every lap. There's so much going on here.
Engineer: I
Lando NORRIS: mean, the Ferrari was decent on the medium, but...
Engineer: At the moment degradation is higher than expected. What do you think about three stops?
Max VERSTAPPEN: Is the wind changing? Accident 7 is snuffing.
Engineer: So either mode 6 or you can use a click of Overtake Max.
Kevin MAGNUSSEN: Uh, the breeze has completely pushed me off again, what the f**k?
Engineer: Okay, Alex, I know it's not what you want to hear, but we have been given a five-second penalty, but it's happening. Okay, okay, okay, okay,
Alexander ALBON: okay, but tell me what's going on, because obviously I'm not doing track limits since the last time you told me to be careful, so...
Engineer: And Lance, no more track limits otherwise you have a penalty. This is critical, no more track limits.
Carlos SAINZ: Good call, Charles Loftime.
Engineer: Charles Loftime, 10.7.
Engineer: Okay, Leclerc behind is not really faster than you. Tsunoda ahead will have blue flags now. Try to get Tsunoda.

Engineer: You are doing a good job across cars, still brake release turn 7, place to focus, you did well, but need to improve there.
Engineer: And Lando, how are the tyres? We're still thinking plan A target lap.
Lando NORRIS: Yeah, I think they're dropping off a little.
Engineer: Does
Lewis HAMILTON: anyone else got penalties yet?
Engineer: Luis, they're all going to get penalties in front of you. All of them. So keep going.
Engineer: Max any thoughts on balance what we can help you with the tools
Engineer: Not
Max VERSTAPPEN: really actually, just a little bit undesired.
Engineer: No problem, understood.

Yuki TSUNODA: TikTok.
Audio only, no transcript available for this message.
Engineer: I
ZHOU Guanyu: guess we are not reaching the safari ahead.
Carlos SAINZ: Let's extend to see if we catch a safety car.
Engineer: Copy.
Engineer: Okay, Gasly's ahead, but you can see him. Let's go chase him down.
Engineer: Charles Information, we are looking Pérez Threat end of race, we need to try to extend this STIN Copy
Charles LECLERC: that
ZHOU Guanyu: They catch me so much on the straight, like, I don't know, like, four sides in.
Sergio PEREZ: Does it seem to be moving? Yeah, I don't know why it's banging. Yeah. Come on. Come on. Come on.
Lewis HAMILTON: Is there a reason why you haven't given us those penalties yet? They are still dishing out warnings and penalties.
Engineer: Lewis, the car is bad, we know. Please drive it.
Carlos SAINZ: Let you know when Lando loses DRS. I might give him for Checo.
Engineer: Copy.
Carlos SAINZ: Defense on Checo base. I need to know Checo base and I decide what to do with Lando. I'll let you know the first time then.
Engineer: And consider a bit of liftoff turn 3, turn 4 to help clear tyres.
Engineer: Here's a stay on the track limits. Can't afford a penalty here. So it's entry turn 10, exit turn 10. Main concerns for track limits.
George RUSSELL: Send me a lot of three
Lance STROLL: Well, so it's where's Alba push
Engineer: push on
Engineer: And information that is now fighting with sign.
Sergio PEREZ: Nice moving on the braking
Engineer: Okay, you got your third warning you got your third warning so you cannot have any more track limit I'm clear. No more track limit
Engineer: He is pushing me off the track like crazy. Copy that. Reporting.
Carlos SAINZ: He's like a

Engineer: Okay, George.
Audio only, no transcript available for this message.
Engineer: Okay, we've had a lap time deleted, that's strike three for us. We've had a black and white flag.
Carlos SAINZ: There's two I should have a look at that. He was intimidating me a lot
Engineer: Alonzo was 10.0 dealing with that traffic
Engineer: Okay, you had another track limit turn 9, so that was one too much. Every time you do another track limit, it would be another penalty.
Engineer: 7 to go You did, you did Stay within track limit It is not Stay within track limit, 7 to go
Engineer: So if you start to cool the tires.
Max VERSTAPPEN: I prefer to box.
Engineer: We don't feel the risk of boxing is worthwhile.
Max VERSTAPPEN: I've got 24 seconds in the lead. Come on.
Engineer: That, I believe, is the full sweep. Great job. Classy, Max. Very, very classy. Well done, mate.
Max VERSTAPPEN: Yeah, that was an amazing race, guys. Car was on fire. Really, really good. And great pit stops, too. Very good.
Engineer: And P2, nice job.
Charles LECLERC: Yeah, nice job, thank you. The feeling was better today.
Engineer: Yeah,
Charles LECLERC: good to be back on the podium.
Engineer: Right-o, mate. It's P5. P5.
Lando NORRIS: Oh, yes!
Engineer: As P13, P13, very solid race mate, what we were after, it was a very solid race, good job.
Logan SARGEANT: Thank you. Good job guys.
Engineer: Did Alex get a P10 in the end? P11, Stroll got him. I think just a few laps to go. So Stroll P10, Alex 11, Ocon 12, you 13.
Engineer: Good job George, so it's a P8, only one of two drivers to finish that race without any strikes, any track limit warnings.
George RUSSELL: Let's go race guys, didn't have the pace, struggled a bit with the car overall, have to keep pushing under silverstone.
Engineer: So Alex, that was P11. Sorry, it's a really good job.
Alexander ALBON: No, no, well done everyone. That was a good job. Again, sorry for the track limits. I reacted too late to it, obviously.
Engineer: Okay Lewis, that's a P7.
Lewis HAMILTON: Well done mate for persevering. Well done guys today, just a great job with the pit stops. Sorry I couldn't get any higher, the car was really hard to drive today.
Engineer: Okay mate, that's P9, P9. Alright mate, solid race from you. Shame about the penalty that would have put us in a fight with Russell for P8. Yeah, I had to push, I tried, but I gave everything, so... Alright mate, solid race from you, good pace.
Engineer: Ok Nick, that's P15, and we look forward to the next one to get a bit more pace.
Nyck DE VRIES: Yeah, coming up
Nyck DE VRIES: Yeah, coming up.
Nyck DE VRIES: I think in terms of balance, we were not bad.
Engineer: Probably we needed a little bit more low speed stability.
Engineer: Okay back on the podium. Well
Sergio PEREZ: done Checo, that was a fantastic recovery drive, well done mate, some great moves there, well done. Yeah good recovery guys, well done. Nice to be back on the podium, it's been a while, now let's keep this form.
Engineer: Yeah and move on up the steps.
Engineer: I'm P4, P4.
Engineer: for p17 uh tough race um i think we were in a reasonable position before the front wing damage but uh the good news is the other car was fifth and uh you'll have that aero package next race it looks like it has given a good step so we've got that to look forward to in silverstone
Oscar PIASTRI: yeah yeah well done on the p5 with lando great points for the team obviously tricky race on our side but um yeah looking forward to seeing what the upgrades got next week so thanks guys thanks for all the hard work getting that new update done and uh let's have some more fun
Engineer: Okay Kev, that's the checkered flag.
Engineer: OK, so finished up P12, not the result we wanted, but well done anyway. It was a very mixed race with an awful lot of penalties for track limits up and down the field. Yeah, not to us, we didn't get one, so... No, no, we didn't. Yeah, well done to you for managing that well. Yeah, let's review because we were not as fast as we should be, so a couple of days and we'll come back stronger on the next one.
Engineer: Okay, we were P-19 after all of that effort.
Engineer: Yeah, so
Kevin MAGNUSSEN: far man, I did my best yeah, yeah, we got some work to do

Valtteri BOTTAS: Yeah, long day.
Engineer: But after we changed nose, the pace looked good.
Engineer: Checkered flag, checkered flag. Well done mate. Not perfect from our side, but very good job.

Fernando ALONSO: are within 10 seconds signs.
Engineer: Yeah easy
Engineer: It's P10 Lance, I'm afraid, sorry about the VSC, we'll go through everything, good recovery, good pace, close at the end with Gasly Yeah
Lance STROLL: I think just one of us should have pitted, but it came out, I don't know why we waited to
Engineer: stack Yeah understood Lance, understood, we'll talk about everything back here
Engineer: Got you another difficult race, we finished P14 at the end. I
ZHOU Guanyu: mean, we got f***ed over by the safety guard. And yeah, let's keep walking, let's improve the pit stop and we need to be more consistent.
Engineer: And Lando, driver of the day as well.
Lando NORRIS: No, really? Oh, that's cute. It's because there's so many Papaya fans here. Thank you everyone who voted me driver of the day.
