Every message, in the order it happened
Engineer: OK Kev, would you like a front wing adjustment?
Kevin MAGNUSSEN: No,
Engineer: I don't really see an obvious direction. OK, copy that. So drive through the pit lane slowly to do another start please.
Engineer: Wind is 19 kph gusts. We'll get the tires changed and then you will fire the car up on Harry's signal
Engineer: So we see like a tailwind going into 12 and into 14 and then the variable wind as you go through 14 15 16
Engineer: Ok copy plane, onto another start, focus on the drop, you are 9 and deep So drop on target, long plateau, control release Still no burnouts, everybody is reporting low group There
Logan SARGEANT: is no way I was 9 deep Copy
Engineer: Q at pit exit, come again on the clutch
Logan SARGEANT: I don't think I was 9 deep
Engineer: Ok we can cross check, just do your thing and we'll see you back here on the second procedure
Engineer: Ok, you go in, go to the car, past the pit entry, there was a margin of 20m on the pit entry breaking point You drive through, we'll do another start and you were 6m deep, 6m deep
Logan SARGEANT: Wait, I'm barely dropping it
Lewis HAMILTON: It covers, guys. It covers.
Engineer: And we can go recharge on, and we're going to the grid. It is not needed from our side.
Engineer: There
Esteban OCON: are some sparks coming from the front wing, the straight, I'm not sure if all is OK.
Engineer: OK, understood, we'll have a look.
Engineer: Oscar are we going to the grid this lap, how is the tyre grip, copy,
Oscar PIASTRI: we charge on tyre grip, the tyre grip is ok, not amazing but not terrible either, copy
Engineer: that
George RUSSELL: I just need to make my drinks tube short with all the force in my hallway, it's going right down my throat.
Engineer: Yeah, copy that, we'll have a look on the grid. Fuel is 0.4 safe.
Engineer: Fernando from Mikey, can you hear me?
Fernando ALONSO: Yes
Engineer: Copy mate, just a radio check
Fernando ALONSO: Yeah, loud and clear Yeah, it's all good for me as well
Engineer: Okay Valtteri, so track temp is still at 19 degrees and wind looks to still be the same as on the opposite grid.
Engineer: and everything is a bit cold right now so we need to hold the pre-start revs a little bit longer yeah
Pierre GASLY: just for the boys if you can really keep the covers when we put the covers the blankets blankets off here
Engineer: yeah we can do that so we need recharge on and pit lane speed limiter off now but once the engine is fired up we'll go pit lane speed limiter on we'll do the bike point learn and then hold pre-start revs a little bit longer and then we can do the start worst scenario one sock six and then energy usage on the start is high so we need to try and avoid overtake on the first lap copy
Pierre GASLY: we're
Engineer: in a good spot mate so let's just focus on having a clean race we know something can happen around here but let's just stay focused and see what we can get it's
Pierre GASLY: gonna be fun let's be on it all race and sure there's a great result waiting for us yeah
Engineer: copy that
Engineer: Okay Kev, all cars around us are on new C3, apart from Hamilton directly behind, who's on a used, sorry, everyone around us is on new C4, apart from Hamilton behind who's on used C3. Then new C4s all the way back to the last row when they're on, Joe's on, and Piastri are on hard, and the last two cars are on soft.
Engineer: Make a little gap and then you can lean on the tires as best you can through there and some high-speed weaving down to five
Engineer: Try and do brake warming into 5 will help kick start everything. OK, let's try and get some brake warming again. Push and hold the button, push and hold the button, brake warming, then we can accelerate.
Engineer: Okay, make as much weaving as you can. Let's focus on warming the fronts.
Engineer: So it'll be five burnouts at the end of the yellow lines at turn 17. You sure that's enough tyres filled to the cog? Happy with five. So yeah, we'll do five burnouts. The final burnout will be at P8 Magnussen.
Valtteri BOTTAS: Yeah, he's just spun in front of me as someone hit me from the back, so... Fuck yeah.
Engineer: Okay, you confirm hit from the back as well, question?
Valtteri BOTTAS: Yes.
Engineer: Okay, copy. So far, tyres okay. You're struggling to assess the front wing, can you feel something?
Valtteri BOTTAS: Hard to say yet, it's so local.
Engineer: Copy, copy.
Engineer: Max, I think we're happy you were ahead when you went top track. Happy to stay there.
Max VERSTAPPEN: Of course I was ahead.
Lewis HAMILTON: I lost so many places when I got here.
Engineer: Yeah, copy Lewis, it's all shuffled a bit.
Charles LECLERC: This needs to be addressed now
Engineer: It
Charles LECLERC: is a joke if he gives the position he wasn't in front at the apex and he pushed me wide So he needs to give that position back
Carlos SAINZ: I think when Ricky and Owen had the green picture, it was impossible to give the car a truck for everyone.
Engineer: Stop it.
Engineer: Safety car stay out, safety car recharge on, we're staying out.
Engineer: So we've got Norris off at turn 12
Pierre GASLY: It's gonna be like that the whole race so It's gonna be a long evening, but let's try to make the most of it.
Engineer: Yep. We'll stay on top of it Just keep an eye on your Delta and then work the tires
Lewis HAMILTON: Norris, come off. His debris came off, hit my front wing.
Engineer: OK, copy. We'll have a look.
Engineer: So Charles the case is with the stewards and we stay where we are in terms of positioning Okay, at the moment is like this if anything changes I will let you know
Engineer: Okay, suggest high steering inputs to warm up those fronts and weaving on the back straight when you get there
Engineer: OK lads, so we're at P15 at the moment, Joe ahead, on the hard Perez behind, also on the hard Sainz behind him, and then Fernando behind him. So Fernando's spun into 1, and has fitted the hard under the VSC, so you know the plan from here, just maintain these tyre temps, it'll be low grip on the restart.
Engineer: So right now, you're P9. Sonoda behind in P10 still has his race start soft. And then behind him, everyone else is on a hard, with the exception of Ricciardo is still on his medium.
Engineer: So tyre temps now are dropping below where the blankets would normally sit. So these are very very cold tyres Yeah
George RUSSELL: mate I know Like
Engineer: I'm in the wet at the moment I know
Engineer: Just info at this stage Max, the situation at turn 1 on lap 1 with the stewards, we are not going to reverse on positions so I'll leave it with you.
Esteban OCON: Tell Haas what he's going through in front of us. So he's
Engineer: done it. Yeah. Okay, understood. We weren't expecting that Okay, mate. We're happy with that. I believe there shouldn't be overtaking under the safety car anyway, so that's up to them
Lewis HAMILTON: Can't overtake until turn 1, huh?
Engineer: Take the line.
Engineer: Safety car in turn 14 now. Recharge off ready for the restart.
Engineer: So gap to Russell 0.6 Albin behind 0.2
Engineer: So we'll take a few laps now Max as the tyres are cold, so just watch slip at both axles, gap 1.6
Engineer: Mode 6, click, overtake. Yeah, very hard with grip on tyres on our car. We just have to be a little bit patient.
Engineer: So radio is breaking up, DRS has been enabled. Oxidation okay or not? We're standby, so we'll stay where we are on the oxidation numbers.
Engineer: You have been given the five-second penalty for that incident, but you're already two seconds ahead behind, so we'll just keep eking that gap out to the stop.
Sergio PEREZ: Fernando, this is Javier, eh?
Engineer: 0.6
Engineer: Box, box, box, box, Yuki, box. Too
Yuki TSUNODA: late, man! What
Engineer: are you
Yuki TSUNODA: doing?
Engineer: And you're back in ten.
Engineer: Well, I
Charles LECLERC: was not sure if he went to the country end.
Engineer: Okay, copy that.
Engineer: I
George RUSSELL: can't do this, man. I don't
Engineer: want
George RUSSELL: to keep Casley behind.
Engineer: And we need action to call the car, where is to stop the car, where is to stop the car.
Engineer: Now get reports of grading on the medium runners.
Engineer: The battery is slowly recharging we can go sock nine sock nine
ZHOU Guanyu: No one entry, Lilliput State, Lilliput State,
Engineer: entry,
ZHOU Guanyu: entry minus one.
Engineer: Confirm, confirm, you can drop the entry.
Engineer: Sargent instructed to lift and coast into turn seven, Piastri one second behind.
Max VERSTAPPEN: 1.8 not that not that pretty
Engineer: understood High speed death question.
Max VERSTAPPEN: Yeah, I need some more open
ZHOU Guanyu: Wait, he's cutting a recorder and then he went in, in 6, 7.
Engineer: Copy, we notice, copy. Overtake available.
Pierre GASLY: The clipping is killing me
Engineer: Fernando 0.9 behind, 0.9, has been reported slippery track at the end of the straight, where? There, slippery track reported.
Max VERSTAPPEN: The tires are going to get really f***ing wet.
Engineer: I understand, Max.
Engineer: Copy that. If we can use second gear in sector two, it will help.
Engineer: Hamilton with a puncture in front, Hamilton with a puncture in front of Stroll and 300m Lyko, still the target.
Pierre GASLY: I need two blocks, I'm losing too much time. Yep.
Engineer: Copy, mate.
Lewis HAMILTON: Cause I'll stop it.
Engineer: And Gasly behind just beat it.
Engineer: OK, turn 3 and turn 11, keep managing because people are struggling with graining on hard.
Nico HULKENBERG: Yeah, copy.
Audio only, no transcript available for this message.
Engineer: And how many more laps you can do at this pace, question?
Charles LECLERC: Well I'm losing this lap, the front right is going a little bit slow, I'm going to lose some time from now on, maybe 3 tenths slower than this lap.
Engineer: Copy understood.
Engineer: So you've got Ricciardo's car ahead, five seconds ahead to Tsunoda, and then a pack six ahead of him.
Engineer: Good job Oscar. These tyres are now in. Based on the first stint we can use the rears a bit more. Tyres look good.
Engineer: And tyre phase update when you can. Tyre phase update when you can, please. So reference again, Pérez with the heart, 38.4.
Charles LECLERC: But, uh, how this new heart, or what? Like, who is the founder of SACA?
Engineer: So Perez was the fastest, 38.4
Engineer: Piastri behind you is double hard so he will need to pit again, Piastri will have to pit again.
Engineer: The heart has grain for some people, so let's think about management.
Engineer: Safety car window open.
Fernando ALONSO: He is struggling with the front a little bit now.
Engineer: Car in front, Albon, five lap old hards, I believe everyone around us is going to end at this point, four cars further ahead, still to stop, that puts us effectively P8 at the moment.
Fernando ALONSO: Yeah, definitely the front is struggling.
Engineer: Yeah, copy. We'll go up on aero-balance. How much more would you take?
Fernando ALONSO: Yeah, I don't know.
Engineer: What are you thinking? 0.6 maybe? Yeah, 0.5, 0.6 I was thinking. Yeah. The other car, Lance, has got similar front graining problems. The best thing for our race is to continue a bit longer though on this set, so use your tools to help you.
Engineer: Alex for doing a good job on tyres. I've got Joe three cars ahead. He's on 22 lap hard. He's yet to pit. He's at 1 minute 40.
Engineer: Staffing behind at point four. Let's not let him push you along too much Do what you need for the tires
Max VERSTAPPEN: ATC just sends in on me, check my tyre, front wing
Engineer: Tyre is ok for now Max, stay out for now, tyre is ok
Engineer: And watch for Debris turn 12, we believe not on the racing line.
Engineer: So Pierre just keep watching for debris in turn 12 and we really need lower gears in the slow corners
Engineer: Safety car, stay out, stay out, recharge on.
Pierre GASLY: We've been mailed out call
Engineer: Please stay out stay out
Engineer: So box box
Engineer: It was close with Verstappen, I'm not sure. Yeah, we're having a look at it, don't worry. Hold position for now, I'll advise. OK, mate, so let's focus on keeping some temp in these tyres. So Verstappen in front, just come out on the hard tyre. Stroll, the car behind, also hard tyre. So these guys have a roughly five lap tyre advantage on us. Everyone at this point will be going to the end. Piastri, a couple of cars ahead, still has to stop. We're P6 at the moment.
Engineer: So there'll be 23 laps after this. Update on the running order. Leclerc, yourself, Gasly, Piastri, Max, Ocon, Stroll.
Pierre GASLY: How many laps are mine? Our
Engineer: tyres are 10 laps old.
Engineer: Okay Nico, so this this set will get us to the end. We had moderate front right grading on the last set but it was pretty good. It's two times by the safety car line. Safety cars going into five now.
Engineer: Your pace has been strong, so the safety car is going to be in this lap.
Charles LECLERC: I nearly lost it. The tires are f***ing cold.
Engineer: Okay, copy. That...
Engineer: And we are hotter by 8 degrees compared to Sainz on tires. And reminder, slow intro as much as you can.
Engineer: Max, just a Stuart update again. Turn 12 incident with Russell is under investigation.
Max VERSTAPPEN: Okay, it just looked like he just didn't see me at all. He just turned in onto my wheel. Because he didn't expect me to pass him there.
Engineer: and wind has suddenly picked up
Engineer: Russell has a five second penalty, five second penalty for Russell.
Engineer: So we've got Hülkenberg then Magnussen and Sargent ahead of them, should be pushing them back.
Alexander ALBON: Get me off the green 10 switch quickly The thing tiger is now not not anything more than this.
Engineer: I think it's green 10 position 7 position 7
Engineer: We are happy with your tyre management.
Yuki TSUNODA: Sorry?
Engineer: We are happy with the tyre management. Keep doing this.
Yuki TSUNODA: Ok, good.
Engineer: Fernando the wind is stronger now the wind gusts are stronger
Engineer: It's okay Nico if you can do what you did on the last set you will go longer your tire will be better at The end than all these guys they're gonna push too much
Engineer: So gap to Verstappen behind, 0.5, and we really need to manage this front right in 7 and 9.
Engineer: So gap at 0.9 ahead, seeing a real strong tailwind into turn one.
Engineer: OK, Valdry, we suggest to protect the front right a bit more. Turn 12 braking.
Engineer: Wind strength has increased noticeably last few laps.
Engineer: Verstappen 0.6 There
Oscar PIASTRI: is a struggle in a bit
Engineer: Understood, this pace is good, we don't want to lose time with Verstappen Priority, keep extending, the car is behind it, dropping back
Engineer: Okay, we want to hold position for the moment, please hold position for the moment think about time management
Engineer: I
Logan SARGEANT: have an okra up here.
Engineer: Oscar, turn one suggests to avoid the apex kerb upsetting the rear.
Logan SARGEANT: I just have lack of grip everywhere, high speed, over rotation.
Oscar PIASTRI: We're just getting better again.
Engineer: Understood.
Engineer: Shape two, shape two, it will be 15 to go with the line, you're matching lap time with Ricciardo behind keeping the gap, Sainz in P10 is six seconds ahead.
Engineer: Good job
Engineer: OK, the group is still very compact, 15 more laps, keep the head down.
Daniel RICCIARDO: Affirmative, pass the head off idiot.
Engineer: So we need to watch the rear slips on turn 12 watch rear slips turn 12
Engineer: Sergeant ahead of Kevin is on same tire life.
Max VERSTAPPEN: Let's move together here.
Engineer: so gap ahead 0.5 behind 0.6 so we just keep on top of that discipline turn 3 this race will come to us
Engineer: Stay with them, double toto, we work together.
Engineer: Okay Esteban, we've been instructed to hold position, both cars have, and we need to increase management 3 and 4 please. Both cars have been told to hold position, save more 3 and 4 please.
Engineer: I
Nico HULKENBERG: think Kevin and I have a lot more space, so we need to get by, but they're quick on the straight.
Engineer: Yeah, copy that. It's the same for Albon, who's in P8, seven seconds ahead. He's holding everyone up, too.
Engineer: I'm just going to have to work hard to break this Tomex.
Pierre GASLY: What's going on with my battery?
Engineer: So focus on gear usage third gear turn one
Pierre GASLY: Doesn't change anything. I can't recharge
Engineer: Hump him down George
Lewis HAMILTON: We're in position for the permit
Engineer: So currently P11, got Alonso 1.4 ahead, so they're all on the same age hard tyre
Engineer: So everyone is managing. Plan B is not viable.
Engineer: So Piers, greening is front right, front right, at the moment keep doing what you're doing until we instruct otherwise
Engineer: Just make sure you protect that front right tyre max.
Pierre GASLY: Got absolutely no grip.
Engineer: Copy that, we need second gear turn 5, 9 and 12.
Engineer: copy that if we can keep generating pace keep going otherwise we're ready for you and oscar for medium we would not need any introduction we will need to start making our way through the field
ZHOU Guanyu: Will you fight the back straight body for if
Engineer: I'd cast a little bit exit
Engineer: George, we are still playing P4.
Engineer: So that's Russell's two behind he has a five second penalty but it's two behind push hard focus forward
Engineer: So Piastri will have two seconds on tyres, and then Joe under threat from the two Haas, all in DRS range with each other.
Logan SARGEANT: I'm on 6
Engineer: 6 to go, 6 to go
Engineer: Gasly 27 lap old hards, last lap 39.9.
Engineer: Okay, so two seconds behind Stroll is Russell, but Russell has a five-second penalty. We don't need to worry about him. Let's just focus on Stroll.
Engineer: Okay, five to go, five to go.
Logan SARGEANT: I feel like I'm gonna shun. Do you have any pace expectation?
Engineer: Alex has the same pace than you, that's all we have I think.
Engineer: Get behind at 2.4 2.4 bar still
Alexander ALBON: jokes.
Engineer: Hey fam still joke
Engineer: at the end of this one it's three more at the end of this one it's three more laps Hamilton point nine one point zero your radio is breaking up so just try again in the slow speed position
Fernando ALONSO: nine
Engineer: nine Russell's five point seven ahead
Engineer: If we can keep the gap to Checo behind at two and a half seconds, maybe help to tow him along. Might be useful.
Engineer: Last lap, battery is good.
Engineer: Peace.
Engineer: I think that's three out of three here in the stage Max, shall we call it a royal flush Well done Max, as BGP says three out of three, well done, first ever Vegas race
Max VERSTAPPEN: Yes, let's go guys That was quite fun out there At least I had fun, maybe a little bit more difficult for us, but it was good I'm sorry, I tried everything I could there on the last lap to give him a tow
Engineer: It was good Max Yeah, well done mate, you did your best to help him out there, well done
Charles LECLERC: Yee-haw! At least the second place! At least the f***ing second place!
Engineer: I
Charles LECLERC: wanted that win so bad. But what a race, honestly. There's nothing left. Oh my god!
Engineer: You did a fantastic job, and you did manage really well. I've had a good job, Charles. Good job.
Audio only, no transcript available for this message.
Max VERSTAPPEN: Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas
Engineer: Thought you'd enjoy that mate, well done
Engineer: Into the pit lane please Max, or should I call you Elvis? No, no, don't do that!
Engineer: OK, that's checkered flag, checkered flag, P16, please pick up some rubber offline, pick up rubber offline. It's been painful, probably more of a defensive race than what we wanted. That was a race, you did everything you could mate.
Logan SARGEANT: What a shame, sorry guys.
Engineer: Point for Alex, P12, he's just 7 seconds up the road. He was struggling as well, pace seems to be coming a bit back at the very end.
Logan SARGEANT: Well the problem was I just had to defend every lap, and it was just killing me, and I couldn't set good laps.
Engineer: Overall, I think we took a lot of positive from this weekend. We were after this quality we wanted to nail, we did that this weekend, that's ticked. This race was tough, but it's the kind of thing we need to learn as well, to do and to manage. So we'll review what we could have done differently, but we did it, we brought the car home. So that's good, job done mate, ok? Back to Park Fermé, pick up rubber please.
Logan SARGEANT: Well Logan, it's the best we had with the car we had out there today. We still got one more round to go, still 7th in the championship, so let's keep fighting for it. Yep, we will, never stop.
Sergio PEREZ: Ah f**k, I wasn't expecting him, we were so slow on the straight there, ah f**k! Well now Checo, that's a great podium and that gives you P2 in the championship, now you drive a great race from the back of the grid. Well that's
Engineer: all
Sergio PEREZ: guys, just slow on the straight there.
Engineer: Hey, P2 in the championship buddy, that's more important too.
Sergio PEREZ: Yeah it's been a tough year, but in the end, yeah I think we grew up a lot after this season so yeah well done, well done to the whole team, it's
Engineer: been
Sergio PEREZ: an incredible year and nice to get that 1-2 in the championship. Yeah well done mate.
Engineer: OK, pretty tough, not easy but nice job, well done.
Alexander ALBON: Yeah, sorry the radio was so bad, the greening cleared off on the last three laps, a bit late, but yeah.
Engineer: Yeah, copy your last lap, that was your quickest. Alex, it was the best we could do with the car we had, well done. We've got one more round to keep fighting for our position.
Alexander ALBON: Yeah, yeah, a bit frustrating but you'll try to understand why.
Sergio PEREZ: Yeah, you really did a good job there Checo. I mean coming from the back of the grid With that downforce level as well was really really super drive. So second in the championship Well done
Engineer: You'll then be taken for a nice little drive around the track again
Engineer: Ok, sorry it's been a tough weekend for us, sorry for that, we'll learn from that. On the very clear warm-up tyre issue, as the safety car restarts, we'll look into it.
Daniel RICCIARDO: Yep, yeah understood. Yeah I think it was all pretty clear where we struggled, we'll try and understand that. Sorry we couldn't really do much more.
Engineer: Okay so we finished P14, so actually Williams didn't score, and our direct competitors didn't score, and the UK retired two laps to go with an issue on the car. And I don't know why but we have a yellow in turn 17 before the pit entry, so keep your eyes open, not sure what's going on there.
Daniel RICCIARDO: Okay, understood.
Engineer: And let's make sure... Once we get to the yellow section we don't overtake anyone please. Okay Daniel, so when you stop the car it's P1, then wait for the dash, and then P0. So obviously a very hard weekend with the performance and that being up there, but I think we keep making good progress on our side with comms and the setup on things, so we're getting there.
Daniel RICCIARDO: Yep, understood. All right, yeah we'll debrief back inside. I think it's all clear, as you mentioned the restarts, it was honestly so hard, it was fun and real.
Engineer: Yeah super clear. And then the first restarts we believe that's why we triggered so much issue afterwards on the medium.
Engineer: And we are P4 in the driver championship, and four points behind Mercedes. Good, it will be a nice last race. Good job Carlos, it was a good one. Thank you Fred, I was an AC out there today, a big mess all around.
Engineer: P19 to P5, that is fantastic work Lance, brilliant timing, not a hard tyre, well done.
Lance STROLL: Yeah, great race.
Engineer: OK Lance, just heads up, we've got a yellow through turn 17, could be something on the track, so just keep an eye, exit of 16 through 17. So ahead of you is just Ocon, Perez, Leclerc, Verstappen, the race winner, behind you Sainz, Hamilton, Russell, Fernando, Piastri. Piastri got fastest lap, so we've taken 10 points from McLaren today, so that's an excellent day's work, well done.
Engineer: Okay Kev, E13, I think you did a great job with what you had under you, so well done mate. Sorry it wasn't better though.
Engineer: So with the five second penalty, drops us to P8.
George RUSSELL: Honestly, sims
Engineer: of
George RUSSELL: the season this race.
Engineer: We
George RUSSELL: deserve to be on that podium. The car is very quick. Nothing more to say. Again, for everybody, very tough weekend physically for all involved. Thanks for your efforts.
Engineer: Yeah, can't be that.
Audio only, no transcript available for this message.
Engineer: Is
Lewis HAMILTON: that it?
Engineer: That's it mate, well done, that's been a tough day at the office mate what could have been that was just awesome pace but P7 considering everything that's gone on but yeah that's half decent result there mate.
Lewis HAMILTON: Yeah sorry about that guys we could have had it much it could have been much higher than that.
Engineer: Oh definitely yeah management looks spot on yeah really looked after them and yeah that paid back. Did
Lewis HAMILTON: we lose points to Ferrari?
Engineer: Yep, copy.
Fernando ALONSO: Hamilton over
Engineer: to you Fernando, it's very hard to hear you with the radio problem Passed under the yellow, did you say Hamilton?
Fernando ALONSO: Yeah, now entering the pit
Engineer: OK Entering the pit, copy P0 please, full power off
Audio only, no transcript available for this message.
Pierre GASLY: Yeah, we're absolutely nowhere I don't get it I understand I can have so much degradation was embarrassing
Engineer: Yeah, a lot to look into we'll have a look after this
Pierre GASLY: Yeah, yeah, we're quite a lot of work to look at a lot of things to look at But yeah good quality Just need to understand that race So frustrating it will work will work
Engineer: Yep, we'll work through it. We'll figure out what happened
Engineer: So after Russell's penalty, that will be P4. Well done.
Esteban OCON: Oh, guys.
Engineer: Yes.
Esteban OCON: Yes, yes, yes. That was a maximum effort race. Yes. I've enjoyed that. Thank you very much for this weekend. Good recovery on yesterday. Thank you.
Engineer: Yep. And that is why we never give up. Well done. All I can suggest is you go and stick some money on the roulette table. It seems to be with you today.
Esteban OCON: Yes.
Engineer: Okay Oscar that was P10 and fastest lap. A shame what happened there with the puncture, pace was looking really strong but you know we take the points that are on the board unfortunately it was only the point for P10 and fastest lap but you know pace was good so nice recovery after qualifying.
Oscar PIASTRI: Yeah yeah I feel like we deserved a lot more from that but thank you everyone, a difficult weekend but yeah take the couple of points for us that's cool so thank you and yeah definitely some positives out of that race so thank you very much.
Engineer: OK Valtteri, thanks for hanging in there, it was a tough one to find by corner 1, hut 1
Valtteri BOTTAS: Yeah, got lucky there, that was a long one Just had no grip man
Engineer: Yeah, I think we'll have to assess the damage properly when we get back in Yeah, copy
Engineer: We finish P15. Yeah,
ZHOU Guanyu: the front is tight in
Engineer: the
ZHOU Guanyu: last 15, 12 knots.
Engineer: We try to react with whatever we have to fix the front.
