    EngineerYeah, copy.

  2. Lando NORRISMcLaren13:17:300:11

    Lando NORRISI went a little on the exit curb in turn 4, so right side, just worth checking the floor.

  3. George RUSSELLMercedes13:19:210:06

    EngineerBrakes are quite hot on the front, probably need a fan Yeah, copy, we're on it

  4. Carlos SAINZFerrari13:56:340:13

    Carlos SAINZFor your info, it feels in

    Engineerthe National Anthem

    Carlos SAINZtailwind on the straight, which I think will make the overtaking with a less TRS effect.

  5. Lando NORRISMcLaren13:57:500:16

    EngineerOkay Lando, time information, all cars around you starting on the medium, Perez and Russell both starting on the hard, and in the back half of the grid, Sainz, Stroll, Gasly and Tsunoda on the soft. Have a good race.

  6. Yuki TSUNODAAlphaTauri13:59:460:09

    Yuki TSUNODAA lot of cars are soft, so maybe plan A is a good idea, if I couldn't make the positions.

  7. Esteban OCONAlpine14:06:420:05

    EngineerThink this is going to be terminal, please.

  8. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:07:110:07

    George RUSSELLAny other advice to get these temps down?

    EngineerWe're still looking at it.

  10. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:10:580:05

    EngineerSo it's the front right brake that is running hot so see what you can do

  11. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas14:11:500:12

    EngineerIt looks like Alonso at the head of this queue is playing the long game. He's got a gap of three seconds in front of him to Sainz. Looks like he's looking after his tyres and that's why everyone else is bunched up behind.

  12. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin14:14:200:11

    Fernando ALONSOI need to let him go and not with this guy we lose 30 seconds battling, he doesn't understand

    EngineerYeah, copy

  13. Logan SARGEANTWilliams14:15:250:11

    EngineerOkay, that's eight laps. I'll be with Flan A. Question? Yeah,

    Logan SARGEANTI just want silence until I need something.

  14. Carlos SAINZFerrari14:17:130:10

    EngineerSwitch position Sierra.

    Carlos SAINZI think it's too early. I don't feel too bad. Copy, understood.

  15. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas14:17:130:13

    Kevin MAGNUSSENRussell is using DRS with no-one in front.

    EngineerHe may have had it from when they pitted, Kev.

    Kevin MAGNUSSENHe was using it on the straight down to turn 2.

    EngineerCopy.

  16. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren14:21:030:09

    EngineerOkay, we're looking for maximum pace to target lap. Maximum pace for target lap.

    Oscar PIASTRICopy.

  17. Carlos SAINZFerrari14:23:280:11

    Carlos SAINZIf I see Czechoslovakia going to pass me, I will call Vox, but not yet. Understood, good call.

  18. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:24:320:08

    EngineerThank you, let's have a time.

  19. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull14:29:440:08

    EngineerSo Norris got the undercut on Piastri, but he has, well, it was a very strong outlap.

  20. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:30:120:08

    Lewis HAMILTONNow they've got nine seconds all of a sudden, that's a crazy amount

  21. Nico HULKENBERGHaas14:31:310:22

    Audio only, no transcript

  22. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren14:31:530:08

    Oscar PIASTRIwhat do you want me to do here for

    Engineerthe moment look after the tire priority target lap we want to get to plan a target lap

  23. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin14:36:120:08

    EngineerSo Lance is 2.4 ahead, he'll let us pass once we get to Dearest.

  24. George RUSSELLMercedes14:38:010:05

    EngineerOkay, so if we let Lewis through this lap

  25. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:38:050:18

    Lewis HAMILTONWhere am I losing all the time? I'm just a car slow.

    EngineerSo a lot of it is straight line and then turn 11 and turn 14.

    Lewis HAMILTONTurning the engine down.

    EngineerNegative, we are doing things to improve temp situation though.

  26. Sergio PEREZRed Bull14:45:540:04

    EngineerYour spare limit.

  27. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull14:47:290:15

    EngineerInitial thoughts on this compound?

    Max VERSTAPPENIt's not bad but the tide feels definitely a bit more stiff so it's easier to have a moment or whatever

    EngineerUnderstood

  28. Carlos SAINZFerrari14:49:250:06

    EngineerTroll is coming in. He's on a three stops. We are not responding. We are faster than him

    EngineerWe

    Charles LECLERCaccept ourselves in terms of strategy, like this it doesn't make sense.

    EngineerCopy understood, we are discussing it and we'll do it at the end.

    Charles LECLERCWhat do you mean at the end?

    EngineerI've been stopping all... We are on it, we are on it, okay?

  36. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes15:08:080:09

    EngineerWe'll pick the pace up though, just keep the pace up as high as you can.

    Lewis HAMILTONThis is as fast as it goes mate, that's

    Engineerwhat I'm

    Lewis HAMILTONsaying.

  37. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren15:10:150:10

  40. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull15:20:160:13
