EngineerAnd another start at the end of the pit lane. No need to rush, it's a bit of a queue. This lap, if you would use your preferred gears around the lap and we can reassess.

Max VERSTAPPENAh, it's actually okay what I'm doing.

EngineerOkay, I think that's better.

EngineerAnd how's the balance, Pierre?

Pierre GASLYQuite a lot of bouncing.

EngineerOkay, so any issues with the car?

Sergio PEREZNo, all sensible.

EngineerLovely.

Max VERSTAPPENYou're super loud, there's a lot of crackling, really loud

EngineerAnd Clutch was on target.

EngineerSome contact in turn seven. Yeah, copy. We're having a look at that now

EngineerIf Daniel has DOS, we just missed it.

Nico HULKENBERGYes! Come on!

EngineerSo we're looking at plan A, maybe plan A minus two.

Fernando ALONSOCopy, agree.

Carlos SAINZThank you very much.

Lewis HAMILTONThe car is quite over-serious though.

Esteban OCONI don't think this level of pushing is sustainable.

EngineerUnderstood.

Alexander ALBONI think I've got a problem. It's

Engineernot

Alexander ALBONon properly.

EngineerDo you think we're racing who we expect?

Lando NORRISYeah, I think so.

EngineerSo George, we are happy with suspension. Everything is good.

George RUSSELLMr. Red, left is for the very weak.

Fernando ALONSOFront brakes, we're on fire.

EngineerCopy, Fernando, copy.

EngineerYou're faster than Gasly

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, just keep an eye on my left one, guys. It won't be, uh, another 20 lengths.

EngineerUnderstood, mate.

EngineerAnd Lando, how are the tyres for the last few laps looking?

Lando NORRISYeah, it's because I'm doing a better job with the tyres, but I need more help with this kind of stuff.

Sergio PEREZOh, f***, I went down.

Engineerpotentially some gravel entry turn 18 Perez has been off

Alexander ALBONWhat's the goal here in this race?

EngineerBecause

Alexander ALBONI'm actually quicker than these people but I can't really do anything

EngineerSo

Alexander ALBONwe're just behind these cars, what are you trying to do?

EngineerWell we don't have a hard tyre, that's damaged We've got the stint 1 medium remaining

Alexander ALBONYeah that's not a great tyre If you think it's okay, maybe it was just a foul side

EngineerYeah understood, we don't have too many options I'm afraid

EngineerI

Alexander ALBONthink you're three turns under flap to it coming back to you um it's coming back to me yeah but I definitely have a lot once in and the first in like

Engineera lot so

Alexander ALBONI don't know whether I don't believe the knob is I think there is damage or something

EngineerAnd Russell boxed, going to come out one and a half seconds behind us for info, he'll be on the hard tyre most likely, and we are racing him.

Alexander ALBONTime to take a big hit!

EngineerOscar Degg on all cars looks higher than expected but we think this is plan B not plan C

EngineerOscar Degg on all cars looks higher than expected but we think this is plan B not plan C

George RUSSELLPeres came up that last corner like a rocket! Surprising!

EngineerUnderstood.

Lewis HAMILTONI did ask to take out my wing.

EngineerOkay, copy.

Alexander ALBONIt just feels like we've put on another old Silsizer, feels like the same grip as it just left.

EngineerCopy that, that's the eight laps from the first in.

Lando NORRISWhy am I so much slower than the guys behind?

EngineerLando, they're using their tyres a lot more than we are.

Lando NORRISYeah, but I have no pace.

Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, real freaking bit of

Engineera

Daniel RICCIARDOhit.

EngineerMy

Nico HULKENBERGgrip feels s**t That feels high

Nico HULKENBERGI feel like I'm having to push to keep temps

EngineerBut

Nico HULKENBERGat the same time sliding since there's an opportunity later

EngineerI

Nico HULKENBERGmight want to take that

EngineerOkay, understood

Alexander ALBONI don't know if it helps Logan, but just run a really low B make and then just use a rotation to go for 7, 12. If you're struggling with others here in turn 7, go wide, it's better.

EngineerCopy, I've taken that, thank you.

EngineerThere are three blue flags between yourself and Lando and Charles.

EngineerUnder safety car we would lose two position for info. You're doing a really good job.

EngineerLast couple laps, Leclerc tried to push on a bit. Speak up! Leclerc tried to speed up a bit. The lap before he did a 21, last lap 20.5, so he's trying.

Lando NORRISYep, me too, I'm trying, and he's a lot quicker.

EngineerCan I just take your thoughts on aerobalance, aerobalance?

Fernando ALONSONo, I think it's OK.

EngineerOcon is the car behind. His medium, sorry, hard tires are 16 laps older than yours.

Valtteri BOTTASOlder.

EngineerMy mistake. Younger.

EngineerYou are the fastest car on track

EngineerAnd Oscar, tyre update. Do you think the tyre will improve with clear air once we're through these blue flags?

Oscar PIASTRII hope so, otherwise it's going to be tricky.

EngineerAnd Leclerc is now on Lando's tail.

Yuki TSUNODADid I get gassed in the 10-7?

George RUSSELLFoot very inconsistent, slight of breath and a raise.

Lewis HAMILTONSalute to the Frizz

EngineerThis is really good. Just keep the pressure on

George RUSSELLYeah, it's nice. I just feel pretty poor now with this tyre.

Lewis HAMILTONYou're on the right wrist.

EngineerThe main loss is to Lando, turn 2, turn 6. Yeah, my tires don't work, mate. Just information, Max, that's all.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, same for me.

Lando NORRISVerstappen is complaining about... I see, I see, I see. Okay. I'm for shipping.

EngineerGeorge, would you be happy with stopping if we lost a position to Lewis? We've got a window to Perez currently that is still open.

George RUSSELLYeah, I don't mind. How do you wish? Keep with me. Babadim, would you switch at the end, or what

Engineerwere

George RUSSELLyou

Engineerjust pretending for? Negative. So just give me a minute. Nope. But

George RUSSELLwhy would we bolt? I don't really get that.

EngineerWe're just concerned on getting these tyres to the end. But

George RUSSELLI don't want to concede the position for no reason.

EngineerStay out.

EngineerSo I guess the main thing to focus on now Max is as the gap is less than five seconds we really can't support any track limits so focus on that mate.

Engineerand exit is clear behind we are going to retire the car box this lap confirm clear behind

EngineerAlex, thank you for giving it everything today. Sorry we put you in that situation. I have to come back stronger than that. Hopefully there's some good learning and some things I've learned as well.

Alexander ALBONYeah, it was good to stay out there and kind of feel what the bricks are doing.

Max VERSTAPPENGood evening, let me buy even more stupid

EngineerAnd Lando happy to push turn nine a little bit more. I'm pushing as much as I can, mate.

ZHOU GuanyuPush me off, too! Eat the f***ing wall, Danny!

EngineerOkay, let's push the end, get ourselves clear.

Max VERSTAPPENBattery is almost empty.

EngineerIf we want to top up the battery it would be mode 7 max, but you will clip more in mode 7.

EngineerI

Max VERSTAPPENhad to work for that, well anyway, we did a great race, considering how we can start it, you know, but I had to work hard for that. Well done mate, that was a very, very, very strong drive, that's two wins for you in

Engineera

Max VERSTAPPENday I think.

Lando NORRISUnlucky, almost, we just lost too much in the beginning but another amazing weekend, well done everyone, a lot of points, another trophy, let's keep it up!

EngineerDriver of the day as well, mate.

Lando NORRISOne or two more laps, sir. Well done, guys. Oh, it's frustrating not to win. Feels a bit more painful now.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, that's the last we left Had to go flat out It

Engineerwas just really strange how their pace came to them in the last third of the race before that you had a totally covered on the medium and everything

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, the hard tire just had no grip for me So yeah, we'll analyze it. The medium was very strong. Yeah, I guess the hard tires were just a bit out of the window for us

EngineerSuper drive, Kev. Really fantastic drive. I'm just so sorry about qualifying. That was really fantastic. Well

Kevin MAGNUSSENdone, mate. Yeah, thanks, guys. Hopefully luck will be on our side soon. I think the pace is there. We need to grab a point or two soon. Let's do it.

EngineerAbsolutely, Kev. Absolutely. Absolutely.

Kevin MAGNUSSENHi, Kev. It's Ayo here. Just wanted to say I think you drove really well today. Nice, really nice race. I'm sorry you couldn't get the pit stop timing right. You shouldn't have been stuck behind you. I think you had a decent chance to get the P10 today. Really good job. Thank you, Kev. Yeah, thanks, mate. Thanks, man. We'll get it right eventually. The car was good, so yeah, we have the tools. Just need to get it done. Well done, everyone. Thanks. Thanks for the effort.

EngineerThanks

Kevin MAGNUSSENfor the effort.

EngineerAnd P3, well done. You delivered well with the pace we had.

Charles LECLERCYeah, thank you. We struggled a little bit more in the second part of the hard, but really good job anyway. Obviously it was quite a challenge this weekend, but you did super well.

EngineerGood

Charles LECLERCjob and we'll keep working and I'm sure we'll get there.

EngineerYes, thank you very much. See you on the podium.

Sergio PEREZYeah, I think really went right this weekend. Sorry guys really really bad weekend We'll come back here next week

Carlos SAINZYeah.

Carlos SAINZYeah, I didn't feel comfortable at all with the car there guys, there's something to look into, a lot of snaps, very difficult to drive. Yeah, saw you were struggling there. Yeah, let's have a look at what we saw after the call.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerThe chequered flag, chequered flag Oscar, P4, great job.

Oscar PIASTRIYep, thanks everyone. I think that was the most we could have done today. Yep, good weekend, very, very competitive car, so thank you very much for that.

EngineerYep,

Oscar PIASTRIlet's have some more weekends like that. We're getting closer, so thank you.

EngineerWell done Lewis, that's a P6 mate. That was a really strong pace, especially on that hard tyre. Matching Verstappen, even with just a three lap offset, so that was really good.

Lewis HAMILTONThanks Bono. Yeah, Kyle was coming good. Still some work to do though. Let's keep pushing guys, thanks to the upgrades this weekend. Good points for the team. Who won?

EngineerSo yeah, Verstappen managed to win, but Norris gave him a good run for his money. He was just 0.7 behind on the line. Then Leclerc P3, Piastri, Sainz, then yourself, George behind, and Perez P8.

Lewis HAMILTONSorry for that lock up, lost a lot of time doing that.

EngineerYeah, copy. Yeah, that would have been five seconds up the road. But yeah, otherwise pace was really strong. Really, really happy with that.

EngineerWell done mate, that's P9, that's P9, that's a good race, well done. Yeah, good race, good

Lance STROLLrecovery at the end.

EngineerSo we finished P18?

Valtteri BOTTASYep. Yeah, that state was a bit too long. Couldn't hold on anymore.

EngineerYeah, understood. You did a good job defending on those guys with much younger tires than us.

EngineerSo P17, not an easy race with all the blue flags and in the dirt here most of the race came alive, definitely, towards the end. The pace was really good at the end. Yeah that was tough with all the blues and that first in. Yeah you fought well Logan, there was a bit more in it, you can see the few cars in front of you but still very well done and lots of learning to take forward.

EngineerSo that's P16 mate, tough one out there tonight. Where did Ricardo finish? So Ricardo finished P13, Esteban ahead in P14 on the one stop. We lost about 20 seconds with all the blue flags and

Pierre GASLYwe didn't even mention it once ahead

Engineerof the race, so a bit confused with what we've done. Cars all the way up to P10 were lapped by the top three.

EngineerGood job, we finished P15.

ZHOU GuanyuSo it was ok what he did, pushed me into the grass, almost crashing into the wall on the offside.

EngineerYeah job, we report to the steward. And no action was taken on that.

EngineerOK mate, P14, not an easy one there.

Esteban OCONYeah, no, it was too difficult to keep everyone behind or even to attack, I couldn't do anything, so... No, we were stuck. Lots to work on for this one and we didn't have the pace, unfortunately.

Daniel RICCIARDOAll right, we'll get ready for next week. Obviously, congrats to Yuki on the point. We'll try to get both in there next week.

Yuki TSUNODAYeah, well done guys Yeah starts have to look into that for sure for sure that starts compromise our race, but well done Thanks also to the team Who come to the track

EngineerVery

Yuki TSUNODAhappy that they were able

Engineerto

Yuki TSUNODAscore points in a home race.

EngineerYeah, absolutely
