Lando NORRISYeah, it's almost crashed.

EngineerYeah, we got it.

Lando NORRISYeah, it's a penalty, yeah. I think the front wing is okay, I'm not sure if there's damage.

Pierre GASLYYeah, let's be on it guys never know what can happen so get our chances could

Engineerbe a crazy one

EngineerAnd just an update on wind, very consistent to what we've seen already and will continue to die down.

George RUSSELLJump start Norris

EngineerAnd you're doing well, Oli, you're doing well. We are faster than the cars in front.

Lance STROLLHit the wall

EngineerOkay, can you bring it back Lance?

Lance STROLLNo, I'm in the f***ing wall Right, copy that

Fernando ALONSOWow, I nearly crashed with a red bull,

Engineerso close

EngineerOkay Lando, so ultimately the target remains as target plus five, but we still kind of need to do a stint one approach But probably not immediately. We need to let the tires come in a bit

Lando NORRISYeah, I'm not going to be able to let the tires come in. You've got to understand that

Alexander ALBONWhat is he doing?

Alexander ALBONOh, you didn't give me enough space, so I just need to speak to the stewards about it.

EngineerYeah, I saw you got squeezed into the wall.

EngineerHamilton ahead, struggling on mediums from the start.

Fernando ALONSOYeah, any chance of plan B because I mean they are in an overleague copy

Engineerwe're looking

EngineerThey're

Lewis HAMILTONkilling us at high speed.

EngineerYeah, copy Lewis, GPS agrees.

Oliver BEARMANHey, he's so slow

Yuki TSUNODAYou want me to take a check?

EngineerOscar, we see Hamilton moving under braking there. That was almost an accident. We're reporting it.

EngineerOkay mate, update for you. So looking to extend could become the Germany situation.

Lando NORRISOkay, let me push now. It's just starting to get a little bit trickier, but it's under control.

EngineerYou need to go more slowly, keeping the cars behind you, behind. We've been given another 10 second penalty for leaving the track and gaining advantage. So the only way for the team to get something out of this is for you to do as we've asked.

Kevin MAGNUSSENYeah, copy that, understood.

Yuki TSUNODAWhat a dangerous driving

EngineerAbsolutely brilliant Kev, keep out there.

Alexander ALBONDon't see

EngineerI've got to ask you a question. At some point, we've just got to go for plan A, we think, and then drive back through those cars. Do you think it's going to be possible?

Lando NORRISI mean, yes, but I think we box as late as we can.

EngineerWe are doing a mega jump out there

EngineerNiko two seconds ahead. That was fantastic. Well done. Excellent teamwork Kev. Now just go for it as best you can.

Engineerwe are thinking of going soft to the end that's not what you think

Lewis HAMILTONyeah i agree thank

Engineeryou mate

Fernando ALONSOlittle kiss to the wall winter mine but all okay good copy

Engineerthat understood

EngineerThat

Lewis HAMILTONwas impressive, dude. I see him.

EngineerSo Norris is still 13 seconds back, he's having a bit of a fight with Hamilton.

Fernando ALONSOCopy, give me the countdown of the laps, I'm on a qualifying mode now.

Oliver BEARMANAt this pace, will noise catch us or not?

EngineerYeah, we believe so, in 4 laps.

EngineerWe might have a chance to stay in front of both of them just focus fastest race till the end

EngineerAnd now he's struggling a bit with tires there. He's fighting with Hamilton as well. We can do it.

EngineerAnd George we've seen wind speed picking up now 15 kph headwind turn one.

EngineerNice job mate, well controlled.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, good race that. The tyres were a little bit cold at the end, but I think we had good pace. Managed the whole race well. So, another fantastic weekend. Well done everyone.

EngineerWell done Max, that was absolutely clinical. So another 1.2 finish, well done.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, exactly. Good result for the team again. Great job.

EngineerAnd P7, P7, awesome job mate.

Oliver BEARMANMega good job Oli, congratulations. Not bad I think, yeah I would have liked to go a bit longer on that soft at the start because it felt good. Just difficult to overtake, but no the car was mega today so thank you, I really enjoyed it, it was so much fun out there.

EngineerP2. Another one two.

Sergio PEREZYeah, good job guys. Well done there. Very tight pit stop, but yeah, good job.

EngineerAnd you're the driver of the day out there, good showing! Ha!

Oliver BEARMANThanks everyone!

EngineerGreat job, Nico. Really happy to get past the points of the season. Nice work.

Nico HULKENBERGYep. Thanks.

EngineerI know it's not what you wanted Kev but that was absolutely mega and the team got a point out of that and that is like gold dust as we've said before so I'm really sorry that it ended up the way it did but I can't thank you enough for your efforts it really means so much to the team thank you very much

Kevin MAGNUSSENyeah sorry man I'm happy I could make it up for scoring as I were I'll keep it clean next time congrats on the points well-deserved everyone let's go for Moria

Lando NORRISYeah, well done, good points, yeah we did the maximum we could with our decision in the middle, so nice try, I think we did what

Engineerwe

Lando NORRIScould.

EngineerOkay Joe, it was not an easy one. You did a good job with the first stint with the medium.

ZHOU GuanyuYeah, I don't know what he's saying

EngineerObviously, not the race pace or result we're hoping for today. Also, last weekend's not the perfect weekend. We'll analyse both of them and reset ourselves for Melbourne two weeks away.

Charles LECLERCSo P3 was the fastest lap. You've got the fastest lap Yes,

Engineergood

Charles LECLERCjob well managed For some reason I really struggle to be consistent

EngineerYeah,

Charles LECLERClet's speak about it Yeah, and a huge congrats to Oli, amazing job. Yeah, copy

EngineerGood job

Alexander ALBONI mean, because the pace was so low, yeah.

EngineerTough day, Alex. There was a point available today, but still a lot of learning to take and we need to find you some more pace in the car.

Alexander ALBONWe should have done a bit more than that. I feel like To be honest, smart with us, that's what they did, but that was a painful race

EngineerWell done mate, perfect drive, P5

Fernando ALONSOYeah, well done guys, not easy Happy

Oliver BEARMANThank you Fred and everyone for the opportunity

EngineerYeah, tough race Logan, well done. There wasn't a lot of opportunity once we were caught back in traffic.

Logan SARGEANTYeah, I feel like I hurt my front right a little bit and Deg the rears off a bit too much. But uh, yeah look back at it

EngineerSee what we did

Yuki TSUNODASorry guys about that, but just didn't have any equipment, so difficult to get in.

EngineerSorry, it's been so difficult

Daniel RICCIARDOWe're gonna wake up to get on top of it Yeah, the spin that was that was my fault I just took too much code so yeah,

Engineerno, it's okay. Thank you

Esteban OCONCopy guys.

EngineerOk mate, a very frustrating one there but well done and well managed. Copy

Esteban OCONguys, yeah. Yeah it was tricky, it was very tricky but at least I think we got a clear, clear picture of what we need.

EngineerIt

Esteban OCONis more than obvious this race.

EngineerYes mate, understood.

Esteban OCONYeah, let's keep at it.

EngineerExactly right.
