George RUSSELLJust check the steering like I've got quite a lot of play

EngineerCopy that so George data on the steering all looks good to us Obviously it is very windy out there Yeah, that's a big factor. Let's just Give

George RUSSELLit a once over on the grid

Pierre GASLYYeah, see you there.

EngineerFelt a bit low on power out of turn 6. I don't know if he had the deployment

Max VERSTAPPENCan we just double check my headrest, you know, just to be sure, the back of it?

EngineerYes, we'll have a look.

EngineerWe saw a 40 kph tailwind gust into turn three there.

EngineerI

Lewis HAMILTONforgot to mention seatbelts last race, so let's chat about it later.

EngineerKeep the pit limiter until the line and remember back to mode RS for the race start.

EngineerEvery car is on medium except Joe starting from pit lane is on a hard.

Nico HULKENBERGOh god, there's

Engineera

Nico HULKENBERGrocket down on the inside!

EngineerPlease,

Nico HULKENBERGpush me off!

Lance STROLLGot hurt from the side.

EngineerCopy, we're checking Lance. Pressure's okay for now.

Logan SARGEANTDid you set this wing on flap?

EngineerLeclerc had a lap one incident he's fitted the hard which doesn't look great at the moment

EngineerOkay, so Landon complaining of a lack of front end could well come to him through the stint, so just manage it

Sergio PEREZI think I'm still having a bit of on the steer.

Oscar PIASTRIHey, he pushed me off, I was side by side with the Apex.

EngineerCopy, that's how I saw it.

Sergio PEREZI have too much understeer.

Lance STROLLYeah, we're just cooking the rears, just gonna go fat quick. And I know you're gonna tell me to lift the coast forward and all that, but I want to.

EngineerOK, so we're under investigation for Turn 1, so we need to let signs past. He's 0.9 behind.

Sergio PEREZThe tree is very loose at the apex.

Lewis HAMILTONYeah, there's a... ...ranging a little bit.

EngineerMode push, mode push.

EngineerJust checking in from up there, please Yeah,

Max VERSTAPPENso one or two clicks

Engineeron the suit

Sergio PEREZSo what is the damage? It has moved the aerobalance forwards, doesn't feel like.

EngineerSide pod damage has moved the aerobalance forwards, correct.

EngineerGot to manage the tires, Kev. Got to manage the tires. Is this me or Eco2? Both cars need to save tires. Long way to go. F***

Kevin MAGNUSSENthat.

EngineerOkay Nico, we've got to keep the tires alive. Alpine's going long so they'll have more tire life. Yeah, well we need to do that together then.

Alexander ALBONI've

Engineerlost

Alexander ALBONthe front end grip, lots of damage to the front

Alexander ALBONYeah, it's because the front's

Engineera

Alexander ALBONdead

EngineerWhat is

Lance STROLLthat snap on exit? That is the most horrible thing ever.

Max VERSTAPPENI'm losing time with this now here. It's terrific.

EngineerSo, Lando, the heart does look poor, which makes this dim for us important. And also remember, we have two mediums, the Red Bulls don't.

Pierre GASLYUndersteer on 9 and 10 is increasing massively.

Logan SARGEANTWhat's Alex saying on the hard? I started with understeer and now it's more rear deck than front.

EngineerLooks like sites might be dropping

Lewis HAMILTONSorry Mike

EngineerWorse

Lance STROLLand worse every lap, but we can just stay out, I don't mind. Not for that, we're talking.

ZHOU GuanyuWhat the f*** is

Engineerhe doing?

EngineerLet's use the clear air now use the clear air.

Oscar PIASTRII think Hamilton crossed the white line on entry.

EngineerCopy that

Oscar PIASTRII think Hamilton crossed the white line on M3.

EngineerCopy that.

Lewis HAMILTONHad a big snap on the way in

Lando NORRISLaunch map, launch map. Yeah, it was launched right into me. Yeah, we're on it. I couldn't turn right to the box.

EngineerOutlap 3, stint 2, Russell 11 start finish line.

Lando NORRISYeah, it was launched right into me. Yeah,

Engineerwe're on it.

Lando NORRISI couldn't turn right to the box

Oscar PIASTRISorry, it's struggling a little bit, but I can maintain this pace. Okay,

Engineergood. Maximum pace now.

Engineerso we do have a five second time penalty but we'll just get our heads down and get on with it

Lewis HAMILTONyeah sorry guys no

Engineerproblem

EngineerOkay Alex, let's start to bring the battery back up. So Alonso three ahead has a 10 second penalty, so we're racing him but he's effectively seven behind.

Alexander ALBONWe're going to catch him at the end of the stick, it's not as good, it's just, it's just too obvious.

EngineerLuis, there's everything to play here, everything to play.

Max VERSTAPPENYou have to let me know when I have to upshift on the end of the straight.

EngineerAnderson, gear 7 still fine Max, gear 7 still fine.

EngineerOk, Logan, the exit curb, turn 1, is detrimental for slip. Watch out, don't go too wide.

EngineerAnd this is good, Charles. We're projected to come to the points, even without a safety car.

George RUSSELLKeep me posted on pre-performance, let's do something about that.

EngineerI

Lando NORRISneed blue flags, I'm getting held up.

EngineerWe have a five-second penalty for speeding in the pit lane.

Alexander ALBONLuke, what's going on in turn 1? So unstable on entry.

EngineerWe're checking.

EngineerAnd yeah Lewis, we may have picked up a bit of that floor damage, we're just looking into it.

Pierre GASLYHe's going to pass Fernando faster, he's losing time now.

EngineerCopy that.

EngineerSo 4 damage looks like it picked up at turn 8 so right hand side

EngineerSo floor damage looks like it picked up at turn 8, so right hand side.

Max VERSTAPPENSorry, I don't know if we're doing all this, but we're feeling weird.

EngineerUnderstood, Max.

Pierre GASLYWhat the f***? What was that? Why did you see just run me off the track?

EngineerAnd wind rotated, more of a tailwind, entry 4, entry 9.

Lewis HAMILTONWe'll see you much at the CVSL.

Max VERSTAPPENI don't know what's happening. Guys, I'm suddenly feeling bad.

EngineerCopy.

Lando NORRISYeah, I'm struggling just with rear.

EngineerMax is saying exactly the same.

Charles LECLERCI mean, if there is fear, if we are stuck now that we're

Engineerin

Charles LECLERCthis position, let's stay there, but I cannot do much.

Lewis HAMILTONYeah, that's all I have

Engineerto

Lewis HAMILTONsay.

Max VERSTAPPENI can't hold this much longer, mate, behind!

EngineerYeah, I understand, mate.

EngineerThink about handbrake for turn 9-10 help the front left

Yuki TSUNODAWhy am I so miles away from my pen?

George RUSSELLYeah, my medium was dropping a lot towards the end.

EngineerGood lap, Max. Gap is up to 7.1. Lando, I think, struggling in the wake of the blue flat cars.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, but the problem is behind me.

EngineerI understand, Max. But there's quite a train of cars that we were put into, so we're fine for now.

George RUSSELLYeah, my medium was dropping a lot towards the end, but it's

Engineerall

George RUSSELLgood.

Max VERSTAPPENGuys Understood

EngineerOh my god, all right, it's fine while on the exit

Lewis HAMILTONKeep going, let's face it.

Lando NORRISYeah, he reacted to my move. You're not allowed to do that.

EngineerOkay, we're on it.

EngineerHe saw me move, then he moved. We've reported to the race director. He saw you move and then moved.

Max VERSTAPPENIt's like there's something wrong with the car, man. I have no grip.

EngineerAlso bid six, if you'd prefer bid six. No.

Lewis HAMILTONGot no rear end, mate.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, we took right side the track

Lando NORRISHe can't keep moving after I've moved, it's just dangerous. Oh, we've got to have a big shot. He forced me to go wide and lock off.

EngineerUnderstood, mate. He keeps forcing you off. It was the right thing to do to give the position back. Let's get it again.

Lando NORRISYeah, but I can't keep doing this. If he keeps moving, I've got

Engineerto

Lando NORRISlock off.

EngineerNot entirely sure how he thinks she forced him off, Max. As in, Lando went straight up the inside and went too far.

Lando NORRISYeah, I guess to give the position back I was ahead at the apex

EngineerYep, and he went off track

Max VERSTAPPENUnfortunately, I'm off again! It's

Engineernot clever, is it?

Max VERSTAPPENIt's just dive-bombing, like, it's not how you overtake.

Max VERSTAPPENNice, oh my god

Lando NORRISI'm just going to retire now.

EngineerGeorge you can win this you can win this judge

Sergio PEREZI can't get any traction.

George RUSSELLBOOM SHOT! WOOHOOHOO! YABBA DA BADOO! Well done mate, boss car Well done, without a pick of the pieces Well done

Sergio PEREZI cannot believe that we are this slow, yeah, this is too much.

EngineerIt was tight there at the end, but yeah. Yeah, just no tire at

Pierre GASLYthe end, but we tried.

EngineerIt's been a tough race. Not much more you could have done. Sorry about that.

EngineerMax, heads up, you were given a 10-second penalty for that incident with Lando. Just in case you'll quiz about that after the race. Of course.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, sure. That's just ridiculous. You could just send it left to right. What do you want me to do?

EngineerYeah, he didn't behave correctly there, Max. So yeah, we're desperately unlucky, especially here, but you did your very best.

Daniel RICCIARDOVery very busy weekend So yeah, I think to finish

Engineerand

Daniel RICCIARDOget some points as you say damage limitation, so Yeah, I guess we'll keep working but I think also Relatively proud of the work, so thank you

Alexander ALBONI don't like when we are quicker than when we finish and today was that day, I don't know

EngineerI

Alexander ALBONthink we just need to talk about it afterwards but we should have never been behind an Aston Copy that Alex, we can have a look when you come back

EngineerAnd that's p10 for us. Yeah, so it was tight there at the end. But yeah. Yeah, just no tyre at

Pierre GASLYthe end, but we tried, yeah.

EngineerYep, tricky race out there, but we're p10. We had Hülkenberg, Perez, Magnussen, Ricciardo and yourself. Hülkenberg p6.

Pierre GASLYYeah, that's not good.

Logan SARGEANTReally sorry guys, feel like our pace wasn't too bad today, but I ruined it in turn 3, so I apologize. You deserved it more.

EngineerIt's okay, thank you.
