Charles LECLERCWhat tiles does Carlos use?

EngineerHis QoLi used soft but with one less push than yours

Max VERSTAPPENI think the front wing is OK. Understood. Let us know if you'd like to evaluate any other diff option. No, it's just, you know, the two corners that are really wind-sensitive,

Engineeryou

Max VERSTAPPENjust, yeah, have a bit of a different balance with the rest, I'm OK. Copy that.

EngineerAnd cool down the car charge button on we go to the grid and you were faster everywhere We go to the grid

Lewis HAMILTONplus one copy

Engineerstop the marks leave the engine running i

Lewis HAMILTONjust make it two just to see

Engineerwhat that does okay sure thing yeah there's a not a huge amount of overheating at the moment uh yeah

Lewis HAMILTONi think the balance we have is this is

Engineerthe

Lewis HAMILTONone okay we'll go plus two yep

Logan SARGEANTThank you guys for the rebuild, I know how much work it was, I appreciate the efforts, so let's go. Yeah, let's go, we'll all be on you mate, let's have a good day today.

Logan SARGEANTYeah, that's good line it up with the that side of the eye that works yeah right there

Carlos SAINZRadio check, Carlos. Can you hear me? Yeah, all good. Copy. Check the putty.

Pierre GASLYJust for the strategy, whoever's got a new soft and

Engineerhe's not starting on it most likely means they're going to try the one-stop so just thinking about Sunoda behind they did the one-stop as well in.

Pierre GASLYBudapest, so they're probably quite confident on their entire day Just to keep that in mind would not be surprised to try one stop if they start on medium

EngineerYeah that'll clear. Okay whenever you're happy we're going to put some tape over on the wall here just to give you a reference. So Rob's there so we'll move the guys out of the way when you're happy and then we'll mark it up.

EngineerOkay Kev, just for info, we've got Hamilton, Tsunoda and Bottas on soft C3s and we've got the rest of the field on new C2s.

Charles LECLERCTen cars left, behind is a bit much Copy,

Engineerthree and a half burnouts, three and a half

EngineerMode push, mode push.

EngineerAnd mode race, mode race.

Logan SARGEANTA lot of understeer. Help me out, B-mate.

EngineerOkay, gap to Perez 1.1, gap to Alonso 0.8.

EngineerAnd diff entry plus one nice first sector

EngineerOkay gap to Perez at 1.8, Alonso behind 0.7 and we're currently P7.

EngineerAnd try to focus on the peak and release into turn one

EngineerOK, cars ahead are Ocon and Ricciardo, and then Bottas who's struggling on the soft.

Alexander ALBONYeah, at

Engineerthe

Alexander ALBONminute we're just slow in the wrong places and fast in the wrong places.

EngineerCopy, see what we can do.

EngineerThat's good Max, keep it up. Just watch that rear left sliding.

Lando NORRISYeah, all good. Uh, hanging on. A little bit of deck as usual and as expected. Uh, pace, I don't know, seems okay. Kind of going with him, but hard to tell.

EngineerWho we are racing? We think it's just Max.

Lando NORRISI think we're racing whoever we think. The car ahead.

EngineerSuggested for turn 2 and 3, left toggle, left toggle turn 2 and 3

Carlos SAINZRoger

George RUSSELLAll good on the gap, just shut up if it's left on 1.1 Yeah, 8.1

EngineerOpportunity turn three exit you can use more of the Aramco

EngineerI think you're close enough push and hold is available. Yeah, it's still working.

Alexander ALBONWe're

Engineerjust

Alexander ALBONlosing a ton of that time right now

EngineerFocus on minimum speed turn 2 and good exit turn 3 to improve.

EngineerThought on plan A versus plan B.

Oscar PIASTRII think plan A.

EngineerCopy that.

EngineerProbably plan A. Plan B might be a way to beat Max.

Lando NORRISYeah, I didn't pace this strong.

Max VERSTAPPENScott, there's

Engineera

Max VERSTAPPENturn at over 10.

EngineerUnderstood.

EngineerAnd then a bit of an update for you. Overtaking looks as we expected. Things on model. That means probably plan A. Plan B might be a way to beat Max.

Lando NORRISI mean, I'm pretty happy with tyres at the minute, and if overtaking is hard, then whatever you guys think.

EngineerOK, mate, suggest yellow G6 then, yellow G6.

EngineerOkay, let's make use of this cleaner.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, my ties are just numb, they don't, they don't move.

EngineerYeah, copy that, man.

EngineerNow we try to protect those rear tires in freer, but the pace is good

Lando NORRISWhat's the plan from here?

EngineerLando, how are the tyres?

Lando NORRISI think OK, mate. They feel pretty reasonable, I'm consistent, so...

EngineerWell, Lando, we think just plan A. We think plan A. He might try the undercut, but that's cool. Plan A.

EngineerOscar, we're in the window for a full safety car. In the window for a full safety car.

EngineerSo, Orlando, we think just plan A. We think plan A. He might try the undercut, but that's cool. Plan A. He will have DRS. Just look after some of the wheelspins at exit.

Lando NORRISIt felt like my brakes are going long, but I feel like there's a lot more wind all of a sudden. Okay, we're checking now.

Engineerand Hamilton lap time 6.7 on soft behind Gasly

EngineerBrakes-wise, everything's fine from our side. Yeah, it's okay. I think it's weird.

Charles LECLERCI prefer to have these 17 inch for otherwise I don't rotate the car so

EngineerLeclerc point five Lando using fifth in final corner

EngineerAnd this pit window has three cars in it at the moment, so just wait for them to clear out.

EngineerSo gap to Hamilton at 0.8. He's quicker than us in 7 and 8, but you're quicker in 9 and 10.

Max VERSTAPPENI can't

Engineergo

Max VERSTAPPENfaster. The car doesn't stop for my inputs.

EngineerOk, so box opposite to Gasly

Fernando ALONSOAny update on the target?

EngineerRuss, it's still on target, plan A.

EngineerOkay, you got clear air now plan a target plus five let's go

EngineerSwitch position grey, entire phase update.

Carlos SAINZCopy.

EngineerBox and pit confirm Max, box, pit confirm, we strap 12 in pit lane

EngineerSolano, we're going to box this lap to cover. Suggested coming down one. Happy?

Lando NORRISHappy.

EngineerVery happy to push the tyre more, turns 2, 7 and 8 if you can, 2, 7 and 8.

EngineerThe check-wheel box soon, we believe, has been asked to remove tyre management.

EngineerSo Piastri at last lap, he's done 16.1, he's just going to build a tyre offset to us. We just need to have these tyres in a good window for the end of the race.

EngineerBottas ahead is 16 lap hard

EngineerOK, Lagan, 39 to go, Ocado 2.5 ahead, Ocon 6.5 behind, lap time target 16.4, 16.4.

EngineerAnd another pitch behind Verstappen, 7, Leclerc, 12, Russell, 16.

EngineerSo this tire should be a bit more robust on the rear, but just be careful with the front.

Fernando ALONSOGreat situation.

EngineerSo we are happy to be one-click rearwards on brake balance if you want. We're racing Gasly and Hülkenberg. Hülkenberg stop lap 15.

EngineerLooks like Sainz and Perez may be pushing each other quite hard so it may come back to us.

EngineerGood improvement turn two and three still to focus exit turn three but good improvement

EngineerGood stuff capture Leclerc 3.8

Alexander ALBONIt's just dangerous, like really dangerous.

EngineerGap to Verstappen is 10. Under a safety car, we think we would take it for a medium, come out behind him, and then you'd pass him. Happy?

Lando NORRISYeah, just maybe a little call for this. I agree. I'll figure it out.

Pierre GASLYGuys, I need some feedback on tires.

EngineerOkay, from our side, tires are looking good. From our side, we'll get you more feedback.

EngineerAnd keep it tidy. Good job.

EngineerKeep doing what you do mate. This is good times are looking better now than Leclerc and Perez

EngineerAnd just be careful breaking that late into turn 11.

EngineerOkay, how's the tire, Checo? How is the tire?

Sergio PEREZYeah, not very good.

EngineerWhat's the

Lewis HAMILTONgoal?

EngineerSo fastest stint to the end

EngineerAnd you can push the tires more in turn two.

EngineerAt the race start, Hamilton did 21 laps on a soft, and he's just fitted a second soft now. Would you choose soft or medium at a safety car?

Oscar PIASTRII would choose medium still.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerI'm not changing on wind, still tail exit on 3

Oscar PIASTRIHow's the tyre now? Not amazing, but it'll make it to the end.

EngineerCopy that.

EngineerOkay, race update. Cars behind Russell and Hampton. They're both on soft tyres. They may catch at the end of the race, so keep it clean.

Engineerso happy with the sliding powers I think it's going to be close to catching Perez maybe not enough at the moment

EngineerThis was a nice lap come on

Lando NORRISWhat was the fastest swap?

Engineer13.8

EngineerSo we can push more on the high speed

EngineerEight to go at the line. Stroll 2.8 behind has a five second penalty. Ricardo is five behind you.

EngineerGeorge Lewis has been given a target of 13.8 we can kind of achieve similar repeat so Lewis has been given a lap time target of 13.8 he's done a 13.9 and then he's been in traffic

EngineerOpportunity to Leclerc is turn 8 minimum and braking turn 11.

EngineerAnd losing two tenths to Sargent in the combo of turn two to three. Two tenths.

EngineerFive more laps fighting for P11. I leave you alone now.

EngineerYeah, so Perez at 14.8, so he has found some pace. He's nine seconds up the road

EngineerEncharge uptime 4.8, flagship blue is to due in front, 2 seconds.

EngineerIs there a Ricciardo behind us, Haftaris?

Lance STROLLI don't f***ing

Engineerknow, Kurt.

Lewis HAMILTONFastest lap, OK?

EngineerYou still have fastest lap.

Lewis HAMILTONDo I need to go again?

EngineerNegative, we don't think so.

EngineerWell done, you're welcome, beg your pardon.

Lando NORRISUh-huh, simply lovely huh?

EngineerWell done. He did just sneak it in there as well, fast as he could.

Lando NORRISThank you. Well done boys, incredible job, car was unbelievable. Thank you so much, incredible job, let's keep pushing. This ain't gonna be more easy, more easier, because it was still a tough race, but let's keep pushing, from you all, thank you.

EngineerIt was a strong, strong drive, well done.

EngineerSo good job Max, we got what we thought we were today, so head down, nice job.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah difficult, difficult race that, but it's okay.

EngineerYeah good drive Max, we weren't quick enough today but you got everything that there was in the car, so well done, damage limitation.

EngineerAnd what a race. What a race. Good job Charles.

Charles LECLERCAmazing job. Also with the strategy perfectly executed. That was exactly what I had in mind. And we executed that well. That was really good.

EngineerOK, mate. Solid stint at the end there. Tricky day, tricky conditions.

Sergio PEREZYeah, mate. Just not ideal.

EngineerHow are your arms feeling?

Charles LECLERCMuch better than Friday, I think it was just the first day not from holidays, so a little bit sober then, since yesterday, all good Even the race wasn't that hard actually

EngineerMaybe for you, we'll see

EngineerGo on Lewis, so that's P8 mate, P8, just lost the fastest lap by half a tenth to Norris, he just went for it on the final lap I

Lewis HAMILTONdid ask you about that, I don't think I had it in the tyres anyways, but all good

EngineerNo, gave you some sweet changes, strap mode, but yeah, don't know if we had it in the tyre

Lewis HAMILTONGood effort guys, sorry for such bad qualifying, I think

Engineerthe

Lewis HAMILTONpace was not bad today, so if we had qualified higher naturally it would have been better, but anyways

Engineerjust keep pushing Yeah thanks Lewis, I think today was a much better reflection

Carlos SAINZMP5, good job, solid race, good pace. Good

Engineerjob Carlos, good job.

Carlos SAINZYeah, good job guys, that was solid and yeah, completely different world to yesterday, so good job.

EngineerOkay, not quite the afternoon we were looking for at P7.

George RUSSELLYeah, very, very tough afternoon. A lot to look into and understand.

EngineerYeah, AFEM. It's the tough ones that we learn the most from.

EngineerBest day there, sorry for that. So that's P12 on the road, P13 with the penalty. Yeah, we need a much quicker car if we want to be fighting the points one.

Lance STROLLCopy.

EngineerCopy, all understood. Agreed.

Engineerand that's the checkered flag checkered flag p4 oscar yeah

Oscar PIASTRIwell well done everyone congrats on the win oh yeah not a not a great weekend for myself so sorry about that uh but yeah thanks for the quick uh uh yep it's gonna be a fun next few races so thank you and we will go again next week yeah

Engineerwell done oscar honestly the pace through the few laps you had in clear air in the middle of the race was decent so uh we haven't put the whole weekend together but there's uh there's still good stuff there

EngineerWell, very good drive. Very good. It's another P11, unfortunately, but you drove really great on that hard tire.

Nico HULKENBERGYeah, thanks, buddy. Yeah, a couple of things to discuss, but later in the meeting.

EngineerYep, copy that. See you then.

Nico HULKENBERGSo, Tsunoda at the end, two-stop, didn't he?

EngineerTsunoda, yeah, soft, medium, hard.

Nico HULKENBERGI think we got sucked in by him. Yeah,

Engineercopy that. We were covering him, covering Albon, but yeah, no tip.

Nico HULKENBERGDid Albon do one or two-stop?

EngineerAlbon ended up doing a two-stop. I'm not sure if that's what they planned. They went into a medium at the end. They had two mediums, but he's way behind.

EngineerThat's peak 10. I think really fell for us there.

Fernando ALONSORun switch to what?

EngineerWarm up, please. Run switch to warm up.

EngineerWell done, mate. It was a great first lap and some nice battles out there.

Pierre GASLYYeah, I must say I enjoyed the race. Some good fun out there, good battles. With Fernando, Luis, Carlos.

EngineerGood

Pierre GASLYrecovery after Friday. Good job, guys. And yeah, it feels good to restart the second part of the year with some points. So let's try to focus on the coming one and keep improving race by race. Thanks.

EngineerTough race Kev, given where we started. Not surprising really, but anyway, thanks for giving it a go.

EngineerOK, Alex, good job today. So that's P14 for us. Good recovery after yesterday, so sorry about that.

Alexander ALBONYeah, I don't think we really tried our best today, but yeah, well done, everyone. I think, thanks, Logan, for that as well, for the... for the hold-up.

EngineerYeah, copy that, Alex. Thank you. Yeah, Alex, I don't think we got a chance to show what the car could do today, but well done for sticking with it. It might come back stronger in once in a week.

Alexander ALBONYeah, I agree.

EngineerYeah, it was a very good start Valtteri, but obviously a difficult race for us after that.

Valtteri BOTTASYeah, I tried everything I could. Pushing as hard as I can, but we're just not quick enough this weekend. But let's regroup and try next week on a different track.

EngineerYep, we will. So it's a P19 for us with Joe in P20.

EngineerOk Daniel, I think obviously it's a shame about Hülkenberg but it was a good race. It was quite enjoyable I must say.

Daniel RICCIARDOI'll qualify for that next week and we'll have a good race.

EngineerSo that's P16, a lot of lap defending, doing really good, mode 14, I know it was difficult, but no mistake, did good there mate, solid race defending to these two cars on fresh over. Yeah, I just, I

Logan SARGEANTdon't know, lacked a bit of pace, but I think the two-stop was the way.

EngineerWe'll have time to look when you're back, but from the race you had to do, our plan, you raced well mate, that was good, good job. Especially after a difficult weekend, good recovery mate.

Logan SARGEANTAlex, P14 on that two-stop, P14 for Alex. Good defending, Logan, against those two cars behind, and thank you for playing the team there.

EngineerOf course, it's a tough race for us.

ZHOU GuanyuWe kind of lost the race in the first stint.

EngineerCopy that.
