    Yuki TSUNODA: You're f***ing kidding me!

22. ZHOU GuanyuAlfa Romeo09:44:24

    ZHOU Guanyu: Check a bit my rear right, because I touched the wall XF50 the last before, there shouldn't be any problems.

    Engineer: Copy that, we will check rear right.

23. Valtteri BOTTASAlfa Romeo09:45:34

    Engineer: And how much time left? There's only 25 seconds left, so unfortunately, that is it.

    Yuki TSUNODA: You're kidding me!

27. Alexander ALBONWilliams09:52:22

    Alexander ALBON: So what happens now, are we allowed to join push-in, or are we listening to this, or is it actually a disadvantage to be where we are in

    Engineer: the

    Alexander ALBON: pit lane?

    Engineer: So, we left the garage at the same time that the second house arrived, so we should be behind the second house.

28. Nico HULKENBERGHaas09:55:01

    Nico HULKENBERG: Do you think there's going to be bunching at the 16?

    Engineer: It's Verstappen's going, then Hamilton. It's not going to bunch up much. Hamilton's going, so there's just Russell and Mag to go. Russell's going, so you have an eight-second gap to Kevin. You're good. Remember, mode push, mode push.

29. George RUSSELLMercedes09:57:37

    George RUSSELL: Lots of understanding of its sector.

30. Sergio PEREZRed Bull10:01:25

    Engineer: OK, recharge on and we'll be boxing now, that's P11 at the moment unfortunately. Yeah, I mean I lost 10.5 in the straight now. Yeah, I saw that jump here, I'm not sure why that was unfortunately.

    Oscar PIASTRI: ok, thanks guys

34. George RUSSELLMercedes10:07:25

    George RUSSELL: But the tyres were dropping away from me at the end of this lap. Vibration has disappeared, must have been the tyre.

35. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull10:08:26

    Engineer: So Max, just one thing with this waiting at the end of the pit lane We'd like you to switch recharge off when you open the lap around turn 17 So you go through 16 come through the right-hand kink and then switch recharge off. Okay
