  8. Esteban OCONAlpine

    Engineer: Pairs 1.5, 3 second gap behind him if you need it, good to push.

  9. Robert SHWARTZMANFerrari

    Engineer: Okay, good job, Robert. Let's do constant speeds on this in-lap. Watch your mirrors. You have Ocon three seconds behind and Perez three seconds behind him. It will be engine 12.

  10. Logan SARGEANTWilliams

    Engineer: You happy to open one more lap for our tyres? Yeah, the wheels are going a little bit, but I can open, see what happens. Ricardo, we need six pushing.

  11. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas

    Engineer: So we'd just like you to do one time lap, remember you need maximum speed, down the start finish straight twice, and just push as hard as you can reasonably around the rest of the lap.

  12. Nico HULKENBERGHaas

    Nico HULKENBERG: Check the front right corner, I've hit that curb to turn 12 pretty hard. Okay, understood.

  13. Valtteri BOTTASAlfa Romeo

    Engineer: Over the line mode to charge mode charge that's now p5

  14. Esteban OCONAlpine

    Engineer: At the end of this lap, push to turn 1, no DRS please.

  15. Daniel RICCIARDOAlphaTauri

    Engineer: So compared to both of us, it's turn 8 entry. We were braking a bit earlier.

  16. Valtteri BOTTASAlfa Romeo

    Engineer: And that's currently the three fastest Verstappen on hard in a 13.2.

  17. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin

    Engineer: So we're happy to build the tyre temps up on this outlap. You're all clear ahead. Magnus is still five behind on his outlap. First time lap will be no DRS.

  18. Daniel RICCIARDOAlphaTauri

    Engineer: So this lap compared to Bottas, it's a little bit straight line braking turn 1 that we lost. On next place is entry turn 13 And we see other cars are staying in 5th gear for turn 13. Competitors staying in 5th gear turn 13

  19. Lance STROLLAston Martin

    Engineer: So reminder, you'll have no DRS on your first push, and we'll do two pushes.

  20. Lance STROLLAston Martin

    Engineer: So Fernando three, let him by, he's pushing again. Fernando, so correction, Fernando is cool. Two, Fernando pushing one, let him by. And then six back to Magnussen. So take it easy now.

  21. Lance STROLLAston Martin

    Engineer: We have to abort and box, we have an issue.

    Lance STROLL: I hear a funny noise.

    Engineer: Yeah, understood.

  22. Logan SARGEANTWilliams

    Logan SARGEANT: What am I targeting here

    Engineer: minus five on the dash minus five

  23. Robert SHWARTZMANFerrari

    Engineer: And you might have sergeant approaching on pit exit. Take a look in your mirrors. Sergeant coming around turn one now.

  24. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren

    Engineer: Oscar, turn 13 braking, the downshift looked normal this lap. Was turn 13 braking okay?

    Oscar PIASTRI: Yeah, it was better this lap.

  25. Sergio PEREZRed Bull

    Engineer: How's the balance?

    Sergio PEREZ: Better, better. I think you're

    Engineer: lacking a bit of rotation. Schwartzmann, one second. Medium speed, but

    Sergio PEREZ: the

    Engineer: energy... Sergeant, two seconds. Sergeant, coming through. Do you want a flap adjust?

    Sergio PEREZ: No, it's OK.

    Engineer: OK, copy.

  26. ZHOU GuanyuAlfa Romeo

    ZHOU Guanyu: Who was that, man? He just blocked me. I'm so protective.

    Engineer: Copy that.

  27. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull

    Max VERSTAPPEN: Wow, what a... my god!

    Engineer: That's it.

  28. Pierre GASLYAlpine

    Pierre GASLY: Can I do two crew down?

    Engineer: Uh, yeah, I have five.

    Pierre GASLY: Okay, I'll try two crew down.

  29. Alexander ALBONWilliams

    Engineer: So, if you want, we can do another push, otherwise we can box, but it does look like a clear first lap tyre to us. Has anyone done a third push?

    Alexander ALBON: Are you sure? Not to me.

    Engineer: Not to you, okay, copy.

    Alexander ALBON: Why, was I behind on my lap, or...?

    Engineer: So, no one's done a third push yet, and all cars behind in phase.

  30. Robert SHWARTZMANFerrari

    Engineer: Okay, Rob, you can go charge button on.

  31. Esteban OCONAlpine

    Engineer: OK, so P4 with that the time so far, Pierre P5 he did improve on his third lap on this tyre. In an ideal world Esteban, we're a little tight with time, it would be good to come in and think about the next run. Do you think you really need another lap on this set?

    Esteban OCON: No, no, no, all good.

    Engineer: Just

    Esteban OCON: take the plank for last corner.

    Engineer: Copy that. OK mate, so let's box now please, box now. We'll have an aero cruise after turn 10 if we can.

  32. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin

    Engineer: currently Hulkenberg is off in the gravel exit of 13 yellow flags at the moment slow down it's a red flag slow down get your Delta positive all clear behind

  33. Alexander ALBONWilliams

    Engineer: Okay, so Logan will let us through on the outlap.

  34. Esteban OCONAlpine

    Engineer: Okay, so definitely seven laps, might be eight if we're lucky, cars in front are Bottas, Sargent and Albon, big gap's been formed behind by Verstappen.

  35. Sergio PEREZRed Bull

    Engineer: Okay, so be a mixed bag of low fuel and high fuel now get straight into it

  36. Robert SHWARTZMANFerrari

    Robert SHWARTZMAN: But what are they doing? They're just stopped on the exit.

    Engineer: Yeah, I think they're just building a gap

  37. Esteban OCONAlpine

    Engineer: The

    Esteban OCON: car was going on the front on its side, I think, when I slowed down.

    Engineer: Understood. Okay, we're having a look now.

  38. Daniel RICCIARDOAlphaTauri

    Engineer: Ok, Ocon possibly pushing behind Magnussen, 2.5 behind Ocon coming soon Ok, stuck behind Magnussen Yeah, it's a bit of a mess I think we do a build Yeah, go for it

  39. Lando NORRISMcLaren

    Lando NORRIS: Yeah, any thread to improve? Driving? Nothing?

    Engineer: Minor, purple C2, position 5, purple C2, position 5 Opportunity, focus exit turn 2, first push car, Zunoda turn 9

  40. Robert SHWARTZMANFerrari

    Robert SHWARTZMAN: The rear is super unstable.

    Engineer: Okay, copy that. Yeah, we saw a few snaps there.

  41. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin

    Engineer: Okay, so we'll only get two more time lapse so I would continue push now continue push go to strat 5 strat 5 It will do a bit of charging, but we'll only get to that anyway

  42. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes

    Engineer: Alonso at 3.

    Lewis HAMILTON: I'll try one more if this goes.

    Engineer: No problem, so keep an eye on Alonso's car behind so he may be on a lap.

  43. George RUSSELLMercedes

    George RUSSELL: Ok so I need a very slow lap, try and find me some space if I need to go a little bit faster 3 to Piastri

    Engineer: 2 to Piastri, yeah we've only got a minute to go to the flag

  44. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull

    Engineer: Okay, we will have to get going now Max, otherwise we won't make the lap.

  45. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren

    Engineer: Okay, we'll be very tight with the flag if you don't see it strap 5 keep pushing

  46. ZHOU GuanyuAlfa Romeo

    ZHOU Guanyu: Yeah, have a look what happened my last lap. Everything was quite smooth until the exit. I had a smooth snap.

    Engineer: I

    ZHOU Guanyu: feel like the weight has changed.

  47. Yuki TSUNODAAlphaTauri

    Yuki TSUNODA: Yeah, I definitely felt a bit of a drop in terms of grip, especially rear, from 10-7 hours. But yeah, I would say it's working on expectation, kinda. Probably the rear was a little bit too weak in the end, especially sector 3.

    Engineer: Copy, OK.

  48. Pierre GASLYAlpine

    Pierre GASLY: I couldn't do the burnout, I don't know,

    Engineer: it

    Pierre GASLY: felt like I still had some throttle, like a couple of percent throttle.

    Pierre GASLY: checked after 14 when I was off throttle.
