Canadian Grand Prix 2024: Race team radio

170 radio messages were recorded during race at the Canadian Grand Prix 2024, across 20 drivers. 167 of them have a transcript; the rest are audio only. Lando NORRIS had the most, with 19.

These are transcripts of real team radio audio, produced by speech recognition and presented as an archive rather than as edited prose. Radio is clipped and noisy, so wording can be imperfect. Each message is attributed to the driver or their engineer, and the original audio is playable in the archive.

Who was on the radio

Every message, in the order it happened

  1. Lando NORRISMcLaren

    Lando NORRIS: I can turn, uh, launch map off, huh?

    Engineer: Uh, you need to leave it on, Lando. Leave it on.

  2. George RUSSELLMercedes

    George RUSSELL: The braking deceleration for the very poor at low pressure

  3. Carlos SAINZFerrari

    Engineer: PR3 went straight into turn 10 with the Inters.

  4. Yuki TSUNODARB

    Yuki TSUNODA: We can no one's wearing an intermediate. No, nobody

  5. Pierre GASLYAlpine

    Audio only, no transcript available for this message.

  6. Carlos SAINZFerrari

    Engineer: Pian, Pian

  7. Pierre GASLYAlpine

    Engineer: OK Pierre, start feedback, the drop was good, just very low grip. And how's the track? Yeah,

    Pierre GASLY: it's pretty damp.

  8. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren

    Oscar PIASTRI: Oskar, we're boxing this lap, which tyre would you like? Copy, box

    Engineer: I

    Oscar PIASTRI: think inters, I think it's getting better now Copy, so we'll drive straight out again Copy, Oskar fill in

  9. George RUSSELLMercedes

    Engineer: So we're getting a lot of complaints of aquaplaning on the inter-tire. It's quite low grip.

    George RUSSELL: All right, well if that's

    Engineer: the

    George RUSSELL: case, do you want to just keep your side up?

    Engineer: So we need to go P2. If

    George RUSSELL: you think it's too risky to put the inters on, then let me know. There's definitely a drier line appearing.

    Engineer: Sorry, shall I say again? Yeah, if we stay on this, we'll do two more laps by this. Okay, we'll fire up the car please. MGK fire up and halt.

  10. Charles LECLERCFerrari

    Charles LECLERC: I mean, the biggest problem are the lines, to be honest.

    Engineer: Copy, we will report that.

    Charles LECLERC: Outside the line, it's

    Engineer: a

    Charles LECLERC: disaster, they are complaining.

  11. Pierre GASLYAlpine

    Engineer: If

    Pierre GASLY: it doesn't rain anymore, it's going to be inter-start, just got to stick to the dry line.

    Engineer: Yep, copy that. Alright, see you on the grid.

    Pierre GASLY: See you there. Yeah, I need something for the visor, I don't know why the water doesn't seem to go away very well, just seems to stick on the TROFs.

    Engineer: Okay, copy that.

  12. Logan SARGEANTWilliams

    Engineer: Currently we're 28 minutes to the formation lap and then rain coming in 24.

    Logan SARGEANT: Lovely.

  13. Charles LECLERCFerrari

    Charles LECLERC: Radio check.

    Engineer: Radio check, Charles. So, all the cars in front of you are on inters. Magnussen behind is on ex-wets. A few drops now on pit lane and turn two.

  14. Lando NORRISMcLaren

    Engineer: Not sure how useful that is now, but we're recommending to use the wet target lander to use the wet target

  15. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren

    Engineer: Oscar this rain should continue now it could get up to class two or three in about five minutes time and should stop around quarter past two

  16. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull

    Engineer: Max, we've got a circuit update from the safety car. We have some standing water at the apex of turn 2, but the remainder of the track is simply wet. No puddles. OK, Max, so intel on the rain intensity. You may notice that it picks up in intensity, but we expect that could only last around a minute or two before it reduces again.

  17. Lance STROLLAston Martin

    Engineer: Let's get some good temp, good high speed on this lap where we can.

  18. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren

    Oscar PIASTRI: Visibility is pretty bad even at these speeds.

    Engineer: Copy that Oscar.

  19. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin

    Engineer: So we think it would be this light rain for about three more minutes and then heavier for five minutes.

  20. Daniel RICCIARDORB

    Engineer: Ok Daniel, on the sail of rain coming, should last for around 10 to 15 minutes

  21. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull

    Engineer: You're free to push on the throttle max to 10-13 as you need to for tyre prep.

  22. Sergio PEREZRed Bull

    Engineer: Let me know if you have damage, Jacko. Yeah,

    Sergio PEREZ: I don't feel it at the moment.

  23. Logan SARGEANTWilliams

    Engineer: Watch out for debris exit turn 2

  24. George RUSSELLMercedes

    Engineer: So this level of rain is the worst we expect.

  25. Charles LECLERCFerrari

    Engineer: Rain expected to stop in seven, let's just keep it up.

  26. Daniel RICCIARDORB

    Engineer: F***,

    Daniel RICCIARDO: no rear at the moment. I'm sure it will come,

    Engineer: but

    Daniel RICCIARDO: so

    Engineer: far, buckle. Yeah, keep it on track. Situation is stable with the traffic. Keep it on track.

  27. Lando NORRISMcLaren

    Engineer: And Lando, some places around the lap are reporting the rain has stopped, but we expected it to stop by lap 8. Magnussen now the car behind, he can overtake offline, do not worry about him, no risk.

  28. Charles LECLERCFerrari

    Engineer: We are seeing something strange engine side and we're looking at it keep pushing

  29. Lando NORRISMcLaren

    Lando NORRIS: What's the gap to him? I can't see him in my mirrors. 2.2.

  30. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin

    Engineer: Three more minutes, three more minutes of this rain and then it'll be no rain for 30 minutes. It's only the Haas cars on extreme wits.

  31. Charles LECLERCFerrari

    Charles LECLERC: Is everything okay on the engine?

    Engineer: No, it's not but we keep pushing we have issues on the engine but keep pushing

  32. Daniel RICCIARDORB

    Engineer: In a couple of laps we are in the working range, just a couple of laps to get there.

  33. Nico HULKENBERGHaas

    Audio only, no transcript available for this message.

  34. Daniel RICCIARDORB

    Engineer: In a couple of

  35. Nico HULKENBERGHaas

    Nico HULKENBERG: Feels like the rear is maybe overheating a bit

  36. Lando NORRISMcLaren

    Engineer: And Lando, Class 2 rain reported in Turn 2 again. We still expect it all to end by Lap 8.

  37. Charles LECLERCFerrari

    Engineer: People on Inter's now going faster than people on Exwich.

  38. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas

    Engineer: Safety car window is open. Safety car window is open. And VSC. Safety and VSC.

    Kevin MAGNUSSEN: Copy.

  39. Pierre GASLYAlpine

    Engineer: And how's the track pier

  40. Charles LECLERCFerrari

    Charles LECLERC: How much am I losing down the straights?

    Engineer: Quite a bit, but keep pushing.

    Charles LECLERC: I don't want this answer. When I'm asking, please tell me.

    Engineer: Half a second.

  41. ZHOU GuanyuKick Sauber

    Engineer: Temperature are coming up on third and we suggest a tighter line in turn 10.

  42. Alexander ALBONWilliams

    Engineer: The Haskell's on the full wet now slower than the Inter. Gap behind at 1.1 to Sainz.

  43. Nico HULKENBERGHaas

    Engineer: Kevin's boxing now. For

    Nico HULKENBERG: Inters?

    Engineer: Yes, Inters, because he has a gap. I

    Nico HULKENBERG: think then maybe we should try and hang it out to Slicks. But it's in a long way.

    Engineer: Yeah, copy that. We'll keep talking about it. So the gap behind is still five.

  44. Lando NORRISMcLaren

    Engineer: Lando, weather update. This rain has ended as expected. Next rain is possible on lap 33. It would be 10 minutes, class 2.

  45. Carlos SAINZFerrari

    Carlos SAINZ: ESR, you nearly hit me jumping the truck. You need to be more careful when you are doing it.

    Engineer: Copy that.

  46. Sergio PEREZRed Bull

    Engineer: No more rain for at least 30 minutes.

  47. Logan SARGEANTWilliams

    Engineer: The previous lap was matching Alex pace, this lap some mistake was slower sector one. Remember the tyres are coming, just don't drive too differently, we'll come.

  48. Charles LECLERCFerrari

    Engineer: It's

    Charles LECLERC: impossible to overtake with this shooting gun. I know.

  49. George RUSSELLMercedes

    Engineer: Do

    George RUSSELL: you still want me looking for water? Temps are not quite there yet.

    Engineer: Yeah, just keep an eye on those casing temps, so just keep them where they currently are.

  50. Carlos SAINZFerrari

    Carlos SAINZ: Where are my tires now? In the window?

    Engineer: In the window, in the window.

  51. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas

    Engineer: Sector 1, you're now faster than two cars ahead of you.

  52. Nico HULKENBERGHaas

    Nico HULKENBERG: Cows behind me you didn't see

    Engineer: Okay. Yeah, sorry Yeah a group behind now Ricardo stroll How far away do you think dry is Niko?

    Nico HULKENBERG: Quite a long way I speak sessions they dry up fast, but not the rest

  53. Alexander ALBONWilliams

    Engineer: So the head of this train is Hulkenberg still on the full wet.

  54. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull

    Engineer: Max weather update, heads up, expecting a short rain cell duration 5 minutes in around 15 laps.

  55. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren

    Engineer: Okay purple last lap was Verstappen 29.3 your pace is good it's all about consistency now. Some

    Oscar PIASTRI: dry lines starting to form in the high speed sections.

    Engineer: Understood Oscar understood. Alonso is 10 seconds behind so you've got some breathing room here we just want good pace on this tyre for the moment. Oscar we need to pick the point where we would pick best slick if there was a safety car.

    Oscar PIASTRI: Yeah it's still way too wet at the moment.

  56. George RUSSELLMercedes

    Engineer: And George expecting another rain shower 20 minutes from now. Just tell me what you'd like me to do then. He's starting to work very quick. Just be careful not to tear the inter.

  57. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin

    Engineer: So the rears are getting hotter and also the front left so cooling the tyres is the right thing to do

  58. George RUSSELLMercedes

    Engineer: I

    George RUSSELL: think it will probably be six within 20 minutes.

    Engineer: Yeah that's exactly when the rain's expected to hit.

  59. Lando NORRISMcLaren

    Engineer: And Lando, if safe, start thinking about wet patches. Yeah, already have that for the last 13

    Lando NORRIS: laps.

  60. Esteban OCONAlpine

    Esteban OCON: Are you sure we don't want to go to the tide?

    Engineer: We were just about to ask you to do that, so look for water on the straights please.

  61. Esteban OCONAlpine

    Engineer: Tire temps now at optimum, possible rain 25 minutes.

  62. Lando NORRISMcLaren

    Engineer: And I know two things one opportunity turn three four your losses to other people is when you push the entry too much and Next one start thinking about dry tire. How far away on which one?

    Lando NORRIS: Yeah, I mean the tire at the minute you'd always want to treat us off But it's like this is better as a slicks immediate. I think for quite a long time turn one two is completely wet still

  63. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren

    Engineer: We expect rain lap 33 to lap 35 at most 10 minutes class 2

  64. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes

    Engineer: Are we casting people or not? So pace to the front 27.5 28.2

  65. Logan SARGEANTWilliams

    Engineer: Head down Keep driving. No mistake Sector one was poor on this lap. Keep driving. No mistake. The pace is good when you put the lap together mate. Head down please

  66. Yuki TSUNODARB

    Engineer: Are you hearing a little bit hot? You can cool it down.

  67. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull

    Engineer: There you go DRS is enabled. I'll leave you to work on that one.

  68. Nico HULKENBERGHaas

    Engineer: DRS enabled, we suggest EB-4, rain in 10 minutes

    Nico HULKENBERG: Have we rained a lot?

    Engineer: Light rain initially and then intensifying 5 minutes later

  69. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren

    Engineer: Target rears 80 degrees or lower 80 degrees or lower on rear

  70. Charles LECLERCFerrari

    Engineer: In case of similar rain to the race start you happy to stay with the set question?

    Charles LECLERC: No, we will win a lot more

  71. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren

    Engineer: Oscar, we still think to avoid pitting before the rain, would the track cope with the slick now?

    Oscar PIASTRI: I don't think it will be quicker with the slick but I think it will cope.

  72. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes

    Engineer: And your fastest man on track

  73. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren

    Audio only, no transcript available for this message.

  74. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes

    Engineer: And you are the fastest man on track. And you are the fastest man on track.

  75. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren

    Engineer: Race picture update. Hamilton and Alonso are 15 seconds behind and other cars are 25 seconds behind them.

  76. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull

    Engineer: Thoughts on conditions, Max?

    Max VERSTAPPEN: No, still what?

    Engineer: Understood.

  77. George RUSSELLMercedes

    Engineer: If it's not Vib 1 and Vib 2, it's dry. But if it's going to rain, let's put in a box in, so it's all wet when the rain comes. Yeah, copy that George, I understand, but do not wish to fit a new Inter on this dry track. No, of course, of course.

  78. Pierre GASLYAlpine

    Engineer: Okay, man, that was a good lap. Rain still expected shortly.

  79. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin

    Fernando ALONSO: Well, now for sure the drives will be quicker.

    Engineer: Yeah, copy that, we've still got a bit of rain coming. Not a huge amount, but enough to properly wet the track again.

  80. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin

    Fernando ALONSO: Yeah, copy. These tyres will not be okay.

    Engineer: Yeah, yeah, copy, mate. You're in the top three. Pass has been on track. It's just Hamilton's also fast.

  81. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren

    Engineer: Oscar, other cars are in pit lane, other pit crews are in pit lane with inters with a safety car now Would you pit pit an inter? Sergeant has not got going yet. We do expect rain shortly. Safety car Oscar, safety car We we do expect rain safety Oscar. Do you want a fresh inter?

    Oscar PIASTRI: Yes,

    Engineer: copy. So box Oscar, box. It's a free stop, box.

    Oscar PIASTRI: Copy box

  82. Carlos SAINZFerrari

    Engineer: Yellow intensity for seven minutes, in seven minutes, yellow intensity in seven minutes.

  83. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren

    Engineer: And recharge off to help with temperature. Cars behind have stopped as well, Hamilton and Alonso. Car behind is now Hamilton. And all these cars on inter, Oscar, expecting more rain.

  84. Esteban OCONAlpine

    Engineer: OK, so Pierre boxed for fresh inters.

    Esteban OCON: Copy. I can't see the...

    Engineer: I

    Esteban OCON: can't see the reels because of the

    Engineer: dirty... Yeah, understood. So the problem is temperature rather than wear, we believe. The rain, to me, Esteban, is looking like it's breaking up, so it might only be very light. I think if we can stay on this tyre, it's going to help us, all right? So let's try and keep them cool.

  85. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull

    Engineer: So same scenario really for all drivers Max, everyone is fitted for a fresh inter.

  86. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull

    Engineer: Okay, so running order, see yourself, George, Lando and Oscar. There you go, what goes around comes around, that's Miami back.

  87. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes

    Engineer: Do I need to cool the tyres, or what do you think? I don't know, keep the temp, so if you can get 65, aim for about 60-65, we're pretty close on the rear

  88. Lando NORRISMcLaren

    Lando NORRIS: Is it raining yet? Like I don't see much myself. Yeah, some spots here now. The first place really.

  89. Charles LECLERCFerrari

    Charles LECLERC: Better to take risks because we need 1.2 seconds off, we are not going to go anywhere so...

  90. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren

    Oscar PIASTRI: I think if the rain doesn't get heavier and there's a big gap behind where I only lose let's

    Engineer: say

    Oscar PIASTRI: less than five positions I would take a take a slick

    Engineer: copy obviously everyone's bunched up now for the restart Oscar we'll keep an eye on Leclerc who has gone onto a hard

  91. Carlos SAINZFerrari

    Carlos SAINZ: Yeah, it's 6.03 now, where it's wet. Some wet reported out of Turn 10. To the lead, shall snow and slicks. If it's coming here, it will be tricky. Turn 10.

  92. Nico HULKENBERGHaas

    Nico HULKENBERG: Definitely some good rain here at 10, it's wet again, but it was dry before, so I don't...

    Engineer: What do you think? We were thinking about going for it, what do you think? For

    Nico HULKENBERG: a medium? No, it's raining here.

    Engineer: Understood Nico, understood. So the Verstappen is going, the safety car is clear. There's a yellow one, start, finish, track clear, track clear.

    Nico HULKENBERG: But the rain will continue or not?

    Engineer: Very short rain, very short duration.

  93. Charles LECLERCFerrari

    Charles LECLERC: Yeah, we've got the right copy

    Engineer: just keep it on track so two laps of rain And then it dries just keep it on track, and then we'll we'll go fast

  94. Pierre GASLYAlpine

    Engineer: More rain detected in sector 2.

  95. Carlos SAINZFerrari

    Carlos SAINZ: Someone hit me, rear right, check.

    Engineer: No issue for now, pressure ok.

  96. Lando NORRISMcLaren

    Engineer: Rain intensity increasing round turn 6, turn 7. Leclerc hugely struggling on the slick.

  97. Charles LECLERCFerrari

    Charles LECLERC: It's already hard enough to keep it on track if we are doing if we are losing a second and a half Per straight, I'd rather f*** it up, I mean there's no point otherwise just put the inter and let me drive normal then

  98. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren

    Engineer: Turn six and seven. Rain has stopped. Pit lane, class one.

  99. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas

    Engineer: There'll be 37 laps to go at the end of this one. The rain has almost stopped. And

    Kevin MAGNUSSEN: the rest of the podcast?

    Engineer: No more rain expected.

  100. Alexander ALBONWilliams

    Alexander ALBON: Their fronts are just really poor, they're only working when the track's completely dry.

  101. Alexander ALBONWilliams

    Engineer: Get to the right conditions we're looking to go medium to the end on the right conditions

  102. Yuki TSUNODARB

    Engineer: Rain is finished, no more rain coming.

  103. Daniel RICCIARDORB

    Engineer: Ok Daniel, we've got the pace, we've got the top speed, let's go get the points, one at a time.

  104. Charles LECLERCFerrari

    Engineer: Solid blue as well. I cannot see anything behind it, please tell me how many cars are into the track. Yeah, so you have another Norris pass, Piastri and Hamilton, and then there's a gap to Alonso.

  105. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin

    Fernando ALONSO: how many laps on forecast yeah

    Engineer: so at the end of this one it'll be 33 laps 33 laps at the end of this one and we expect dry to the end or no more rain to the end

  106. George RUSSELLMercedes

    Engineer: Can you let me know Norris turn 5 if he's managing or if he was doing it in turn 1 Norris is managing turn 5 If it's the end of the reign Yeah, A firm, for now

  107. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin

    Fernando ALONSO: when I'm losing time were a

    Engineer: little bit in five and I know but that's good management turn ten we're losing you're doing the lift and coast into ten and that is a bit slow

  108. George RUSSELLMercedes

    George RUSSELL: This is going to be town 1 and 2 again. Still very wet, everywhere else is dry.

    Engineer: Yeah, AFIRM.

  109. Charles LECLERCFerrari

    Charles LECLERC: So we are completely fine now, Exit-wise?

    Engineer: Yes, we're fine.

  110. George RUSSELLMercedes

    Engineer: So just keep an eye on those casing temps. I've seen you driving in the rain already. I've seen you driving off-line

    George RUSSELL: This is going to be town 1 and 2 again. Still very wet, everywhere else is dry

  111. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin

    Engineer: Fernando, the big black clouds you can see are moving away from us. So the black clouds ahead of you now are moving away. So there's no more rain to the end of the race.

  112. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes

    Engineer: And we have first car onto slicks, one of the alpines.

  113. Daniel RICCIARDORB

    Engineer: OK, Dano, we are rear limited, use your switch if you need to.

    Daniel RICCIARDO: Understood, yeah, I'm tight, just rear, it's like jelly.

  114. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin

    Engineer: So you're 1.4 behind Leclerc. Once you get to 1.2, he'll get blues.

  115. George RUSSELLMercedes

    George RUSSELL: I lost a lot of time from Norris, avoiding action, one and a half seconds.

  116. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren

    Engineer: How's the track?

    Oscar PIASTRI: Getting very dry now.

    Engineer: And would your preference be medium or hard? 42 laps remaining. I

    Oscar PIASTRI: think medium.

  117. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes

    Engineer: And it'll be box, box, box, box. Medium time. Pit lane is slippy.

  118. Nico HULKENBERGHaas

    Engineer: And we're still like three seconds per sector quicker, Nico.

    Nico HULKENBERG: Okay, but I think in one or two laps we're bending.

    Engineer: Copy that.

  119. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin

    Engineer: And we'll box this now, please box box and it's tire dry Box is down

  120. Daniel RICCIARDORB

    Engineer: Ok, they will struggle for tyre temp, now will be our time, we have Ocon Stroll pit exit, they will be ahead, now will be our time, they will struggle

  121. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren

    Engineer: You can use overtake, could be close with Verstappen and Russell.

  122. Lando NORRISMcLaren

    Engineer: Lando, you're currently the fastest car on track. Is this that overcut thing we talked about?

    Lando NORRIS: I could do one more maybe.

    Engineer: Yes please, stay out.

  123. Lando NORRISMcLaren

    Engineer: It'll be box this lap, give it everything.

  124. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull

    Engineer: So expecting Lando to pit ahead of you.

  125. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes

    Lewis HAMILTON: There's the one pitted ahead.

    Engineer: Norris in the pet name now, he's the last car. I

    Lewis HAMILTON: don't know if I'll lose that much time to him.

    Engineer: Yeah, we maybe went a little bit early and then lost that time behind Joe, who'd been blocking us.

  126. Yuki TSUNODARB

    Engineer: Almost all the cars on medium, we are on the right compound.

  127. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull

    Max VERSTAPPEN: The ride is very, very bad. Second look suspension again.

    Engineer: Understood.

  128. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin

    Engineer: So Fernando, we're happy with no management on these tyres, no management required. We're hoping the medium runners ahead will hit Graining.

    Fernando ALONSO: Great situation. Tyres and who's behind?

    Engineer: Yeah, so, Snowda's behind and then Lance behind him. Snowda's on mediums.

  129. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull

    Max VERSTAPPEN: Yeah, I can't touch any curbs. No one knocks me out.

    Engineer: Okay.

  130. George RUSSELLMercedes

    George RUSSELL: Check pressures, hope

    Engineer: it doesn't feel right,

    George RUSSELL: pressures

    Engineer: ok, pressures are good

  131. Daniel RICCIARDORB

    Engineer: Albon 3.5

  132. Lando NORRISMcLaren

    Engineer: suggest green f3 green f3 speak up please will screen f3 thank you

  133. Lando NORRISMcLaren

    Engineer: suggest green f3 green f3 speak up please will screen f3 thank you

  134. Carlos SAINZFerrari

    Engineer: Try to save the tires and attack.

  135. George RUSSELLMercedes

    Engineer: Focus, George, focus.

  136. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes

    Engineer: So, safety car, safety car, so we have a car off at turn seven. So, Lewis, we have a free stop, we can make it to hard, let us know if you're happy with that.

    Lewis HAMILTON: Now, how long is there to go, why would you put a hard on?

    Engineer: That's all we have left and there's 16 laps remaining.

    Lewis HAMILTON: There's no soft?

    Engineer: We think that would be too risky, a bit too far to go. We

    Lewis HAMILTON: don't have another medium. Negative,

    Engineer: the hard doesn't look bad at all.

  137. Carlos SAINZFerrari

    Carlos SAINZ: Yeah, sorry for that. Yeah, I lost control so I couldn't do anything.

    Engineer: Understood.

  138. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes

    Lewis HAMILTON: You didn't clear my... I'm nervous again, I can't see anything

    Engineer: Yeah sorry about that Lewis, we'll let you know, you've got pace to the cars behind so we're just looking forward

  139. Lando NORRISMcLaren

    Engineer: And Lando, the other opportunity to max is turn three, four. Focus on the exit of four, like we discussed after qualifying.

    Lando NORRIS: You think no kerb? Is he taking the kerb in the left?

    Engineer: And Lando, another weather update. We don't see anything on the radar, but big showers are popping up around, so we can't rule it out.

  140. Lando NORRISMcLaren

    Engineer: And Lando, another weather update. We don't see anything on the radar, but big showers are popping up around, so we can't rule it out.

    Engineer: So we've got Aston's ahead on hards, 11 lap old. So four laps newer than yours.

  143. Esteban OCONAlpine

    Engineer: So once we restart, we expect 12 racing laps. Tire management was very good, we're happy with that. I think we'll be able to push this tyre a little more towards the end as well.

  144. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren

    Engineer: Roscoe, request to hold position. Do you think you could challenge Verstappen? He was 17.4 last lap.

    Lewis HAMILTON: Lewis the positive is the car is back in performance and we get on from here.

  160. Daniel RICCIARDORB

    Daniel RICCIARDO: Yep, yeah understood. I think, yeah, obviously to walk away with 10 points is good, but as you say, we'll keep working.

    Engineer: Thanks guys. Yeah, and the important thing was also to keep it clean on track, and you've done that, and you capitalized on it.

  161. Yuki TSUNODARB

    Yuki TSUNODA: Yeah, apologies for the full screen.

    Engineer: listen, we still came 10th, we still got a point, okay. It's a long way to go yet, okay, I know, I know, I know, I know it's frustrating.

    Esteban OCON: I've done what I had to do, which is the most important, but you guys didn't do what you had to do, that's it.

    Engineer: Okay, it will be discussed in a bit, all right.

    Esteban OCON: Yeah, as usual. What

    Engineer: I'll say is we came P10 and we started right at the back with very little hope of getting anything out of this, and most of that is down to the fact that you drove very well and kept a cool head through difficult conditions, so you should be very pleased with yourself for that, and thank you for doing that as well. Thank you, yeah,

    Esteban OCON: happy to be working with you guys too, Dave and Josh, very happy. Thanks for supporting, thanks for supporting.

  168. Lando NORRISMcLaren

    Lando NORRIS: Unlucky, I think. We did everything we could today, so unlucky, but well done. Good results. Not the pace probably in the slicks and on the dry, but wet pace was very good, so well done. Congrats, everyone. Thank you.

    Nico HULKENBERG: don't know, obviously at

    Engineer: the

    Nico HULKENBERG: beginning with full wet we gained a lot, but then we lost it all again, at least that's what it felt like. So I don't know

    Engineer: if

    Nico HULKENBERG: there was... if we left out somewhere.

    Engineer: It

    Nico HULKENBERG: doesn't feel that way, to be honest.
