The session, message by message
Charles LECLERCThe tractor that you saw earlier, that's what I saw.
George RUSSELLThere's no standing water whatsoever but the track feels very slippery, quite strange
EngineerNo more rain, maybe one hour into the race, but nothing till then.
Alexander ALBONI think we've got front left damage, maybe.
EngineerCopy, we've got some aero damage. Pressures are okay.
Logan SARGEANTAlex had a big piece of body work come off.
EngineerAnd there is a small shower that might appear on lap six, but it might just affect turn 15. We'll keep that dated.
EngineerExpecting the increased rain around lap 16.
EngineerRain expected in seven laps, lasting for 10 minutes.
EngineerAnd Lando, when the rain comes, it's going to be a racing decision of when is the right conditions to take it, so we'll keep it simple.
EngineerSo expect the rain to last around five minutes, then there'll be a window of ten minutes before a longer cell.
Nico HULKENBERGJust spitting or you expect to have to go in just
Engineerspitting initially, but we think it could become real a lap or two in
George RUSSELLJust keep me posted if anyone's going off, that's
Engineergoing out slightly harder now Will do
EngineerWe expect heavy rain now. It's gonna happen soon
EngineerSo target would be to try to survive this pocket of rain, Max, if you can. Obviously your call if conditions worsen too much.
Lando NORRISYeah, they both rejoined very unsafely.
EngineerAnd Luce, we think it's time to jump to inters, let us know what you think.
Lewis HAMILTONNope.
EngineerOK, copy. It's dry in a lot of places. OK.
Sergio PEREZOh, it's too dry, man. It's too f***ing dry.
EngineerThis is the beginning of this 30 minute batch of rain, so we just have to find the right time to stop
Oscar PIASTRIIt's too early for it to see up
EngineerGreat call for the Inter. Come on, we're back in the race here.
EngineerOkay Lucy, this is our time.
Max VERSTAPPENThe tires are taking a lot.
EngineerCopy that, Max.
EngineerSo we need to box box, we're tired of the car George
EngineerJust info, George retired with a suspected water system issue.
Lewis HAMILTONSuns coming out
EngineerStill happy staying out for the moment, Max? Yeah, for the moment, yeah. You're faster than the cars ahead. Keep it going.
EngineerCompetitor cars do not have medium, currently we think medium is the right tyre, 15 laps to go. Yes, yes, it's the best.
EngineerSo Norris, same tyre.
Lewis HAMILTONHello, leave me to it mate.
EngineerWe're seeing signs of damage on the front left for the cars ahead
Lewis HAMILTONGet in there, Lewis! You're the man! You're the man! Oh, mate, I have been waiting for this. Jeez. Thank you so much, guys. It means a lot. It means a lot to get this one.
EngineerAnd
Lewis HAMILTONa big thank you to all the fans here. Love you guys.
EngineerLewis, we will prevail. We never give up. And what a sign off for our joy and trajectory here on the British Grand Prix. We couldn't wish for anything better.
EngineerThis one means a lot to us all. Love your photo.
EngineerIt was worth taking the shot on that first inter, hit the cross over, just dried up enough after that. Ah,
Sergio PEREZdidn't work, the gamble.
Lance STROLLYeah, good effort.
EngineerIt
Lance STROLLwas tricky there at one point in the race. I couldn't see very well with the visor and stuff, so I felt like that cost me a lot of time, but still good points.
EngineerYeah, exactly. Yeah, it made the right decisions at the right time to like Canada really so run switch warm-up run switch warm-up
EngineerYeah, fast as that good job.
Carlos SAINZYeah, very solid guys. Very good job. Oh, you did the best you could do

EngineerP15 for us, it was a really difficult race Valtteri, but you did well, I
Valtteri BOTTASthink with the tyre changes and with the course I think we're spot on, we're just lacking some pace.
EngineerYeah I was going to say the exact same thing.
EngineerCheckered flag, Niko, checkered flag. P6.
Nico HULKENBERGBrilliant. Bam, bam, bam, bam. Bloody stressful. Ah. Heh.
EngineerI
Nico HULKENBERGthink the soft... Yeah. Need to reconsider, but made it a little bit more challenging. But awesome job, guys. Very well done on the updates team. They really make a big difference. We'll be good from here. Good ride.
EngineerOkay Kev, good job keeping it on the island through the wet stuff, it's pretty tricky. Good step from P17 to P12. It's a shame we didn't quite have the pace to get that last point but good job.
Kevin MAGNUSSENYeah very well done guys, great car, really good job.
EngineerIs
Logan SARGEANTthat it?
EngineerYep, that's P11 mate, P11, that was a hell of a fun race, good job out there, good job. Alex P9, so that P10 was nine seconds ahead of us.
Logan SARGEANTYeah good job guys, it's a shame we got caught out a little bit with that inter-stop, but yeah it is what it is, good work this weekend, I think it was a good recovery considering we missed P1, so thank you guys, let's keep pushing. Well done Logan, good really strong race, good calls in those tricky conditions, but those were tricky and you got it right, well done. Congratulations on the points as well.
EngineerThank you buddy, appreciate it.

EngineerWell done Alex, I may have closed my eyes slightly when you overtook through Stowe, but really impressive drive, well done on those tricky conditions, good call on the tyres, and points on the reward, good work.
Alexander ALBONYeah, well done everyone. All your names on the car there, so that's for you. Very proud to have you on my car.
