EngineerWell done mate, that's our first win here since 2012 and it matches a record of McLaren of 11 wins in a row, so yeah, mega day for the team, well done. Yeah
Max VERSTAPPENgreat jump, great jump guys, 11 in a row, that's pretty crazy, well done.

Lewis HAMILTONWe're going to make some changes to this car to improve it, but we're on our way.
EngineerLuis, great race, what a recovery, remember yesterday evening. But we know what we need to do.
Lewis HAMILTONYeah, let's keep pushing all right, great job. All the way Luis, yeah pushing all the way mate.

Sergio PEREZYeah, and some very nice sort of the Saturday Yeah, let's recover get back to the podium for Hungary well done for Max Reiss

Engineerknow
Yuki TSUNODAwhy it's so.
Nyck DE VRIESThis gives me so much information.
EngineerAnd, yeah, it was a very good start.
Fernando ALONSOHey, tough tough race mate. Yes. That well done. Seventh is probably to be better than the speed we had today, so well executed. Thanks guys. Some good weekends are coming. Don't worry.
Charles LECLERCAh, yeah, let's discuss about everything afterwards. Yeah,
Engineercopy.
EngineerIt was a very good start on the story for the end of the race, I will explain to you when you come to the office.
Nyck DE VRIESThis gave me so much information without saying too much, but... Negative.
EngineerChecking flag, P4 baby, P4. Oscar, honestly, that's an amazing result, but I'm also gutted because that was a podium-worthy drive, absolutely a podium-worthy drive.
Oscar PIASTRIGreat effort, guys. It's a nice feeling to be disappointed with P4, but, yeah, mega, mega job. We did everything we could. Thank you for all the hard work. Thanks for all the updates. We're back, baby. Let's go get them.

Fernando ALONSOGrace, order, the pen.
Fernando ALONSOThank you. Tough stuff. Great, mate.
EngineerYes. That's what I'm talking about.
Nico HULKENBERGYeah, I don't know the front wing, it must have been with Jackal in turn 4 when he was on the exit I didn't feel it, but I don't know where else Don't think on lap 1 I was close with anyone, shame for that.
EngineerYeah, that's correct. It was with Perez
Valtteri BOTTASThat's the most we can get today, the pace, I didn't have enough to follow these guys.
EngineerYep, understood. The pace on the hard was very good, especially towards the end of your stint. But gaining 8 places in a day is a good result.
Valtteri BOTTASYeah, got it.
EngineerAlessandro Valtteri, good job today, 8th position gaining the race, strong job.
Valtteri BOTTASThanks, full push always.
EngineerThat was another difficult race, we finished P15.

Lando NORRISMade my life tougher. I know my hard tire I can tell again. Thanks everyone. Thanks for the upgrades again guys Nothing is possible. None of this is possible without all the upgrades and all the hard work So I do want to say a big thanks to each and every single one of you. I love you guys, you know that
