  12. ZHOU GuanyuKick Sauber19:55:300:06

  13. Pierre GASLYAlpine19:55:440:08

    Pierre GASLYYeah, let's do it guys what can happen so let's be on it

  14. George RUSSELLMercedes20:08:370:07

    George RUSSELLbut you need to increase the pace a bit as the guys at the front are getting away

  15. Alexander ALBONWilliams20:10:370:06

    Alexander ALBONI think we're just dying, Bob! What's

    Engineerhe

    EngineerCar looks fine.

  17. Nico HULKENBERGHaas20:16:470:08

    EngineerNico, Colapinto is in 9, Sonota 11, so they have a gap to us, so we'll try and extend a bit, extend.

  18. Lando NORRISMcLaren20:17:060:16

    EngineerHi Lando, how's the pace?

    Lando NORRISYeah, I'm at pace six or something.

    EngineerOkay, in which case, we'd like to use a bit of that pace to try and get a five-second gap to max, if possible, by the mid-teens.

  19. Sergio PEREZRed Bull20:18:180:06

    EngineerBut you can see it, Culpinter's struggling. Let's have him.

  20. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren20:19:360:08

    EngineerOscar, looks like plan B at the moment. Plan B.

    Oscar PIASTRICopy.

  21. Charles LECLERCFerrari20:20:400:08

    EngineerAnd Magnussen reporting hard, seems worse than medium competitors.

  22. Yuki TSUNODARB20:21:480:10

    EngineerParrots and Colopinto are fighting. There could be something coming to us. Let's be on it.

    Yuki TSUNODAWe have too much information.

  23. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas20:23:350:07

    Kevin MAGNUSSENI'm sliding around like hell.

  24. Lando NORRISMcLaren20:26:080:07

    EngineerUndercut power looks strong, maybe two seconds.

  25. Sergio PEREZRed Bull20:29:100:07

    Sergio PEREZIt's very difficult to find Scolapito.

    EngineerCopy.

  26. Charles LECLERCFerrari20:33:060:08

    EngineerAnd good job on the brakes

    Charles LECLERCYeah, but they react completely differently

  27. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes20:36:450:07

    EngineerI

    Lewis HAMILTONthink I clipped the wall on

    Engineerthe

    Lewis HAMILTONway into the plane and took

    Engineera

    Lewis HAMILTONleft.

  28. Lando NORRISMcLaren20:37:320:11

    Engineerat lando for our race we just want to go as long as possible so if we need to look after tires we will we just don't want to be the first person to pit between you and max

  29. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes20:39:420:15

    EngineerWe are one of the earlier stoppers, but not the earliest. Yeah,

    Lewis HAMILTONso we're way too

    Engineershort.

  30. Charles LECLERCFerrari20:41:200:09

    Charles LECLERCOh this is so frustrating, how

    Engineermany laps are we going to do like this? Keep calm

  31. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes20:44:500:10

    EngineerYeah,

    Lewis HAMILTONyou're killing me with this offset, mate.

    EngineerYeah, lots of options like this, they're worse.

  32. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes20:46:210:08

    EngineerSo it's

    Lewis HAMILTONdefinitely wrong with the car. Tyres are dropping off.

    EngineerYep, that's upset. Driven.

  33. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull20:47:150:09

    Max VERSTAPPENYour tyres are quite bad now.

    EngineerYep, understood. That shouldn't be too long.

  34. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren20:49:180:05

    EngineerOkay, mate, this is the race. Let's go

  35. Lando NORRISMcLaren20:50:560:07

    Lando NORRISAh, front wing damage maybe. Maybe front wing damage.

  36. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull20:54:200:09

    Max VERSTAPPENI just don't get it why we let him undercut it by so far. It's just so stupid.

  37. Lando NORRISMcLaren20:55:040:06

    EngineerWe see a small issue with the front wing, nothing serious.

  38. George RUSSELLMercedes20:56:330:09

    George RUSSELLI need a bit of

    Engineera

    George RUSSELLbig room to my mate.

    EngineerYeah, hey Fim, so traction metrics, everything's looking really good at the moment.

  39. Charles LECLERCFerrari20:56:580:07

    EngineerAnd these laps are crucial. Keep driving like this.

  40. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren20:58:330:12

    EngineerThe target lap will be the Plan C target lap. It will be the lap for Plan C.

    Oscar PIASTRICopy. Front right starting to struggle a bit.

  41. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren20:59:430:13

    EngineerOscar, we're tempted to stay out. That would mean you had to overtake Hamilton after the stop. How would that be?

    Oscar PIASTRII'm sure it's

    Engineera

    Oscar PIASTRIgreat idea.

  42. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes21:00:260:08

    EngineerWe're pulling Piastri back into our window very slowly. Currently one second unsafe.

  43. Charles LECLERCFerrari21:03:300:06

    EngineerThey will be very tight with Hülkenberg, come on.

  44. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren21:04:210:05

    Oscar PIASTRIGetting rid of chicken out

  45. Yuki TSUNODARB21:09:310:07

    Yuki TSUNODAWhat are we waiting for?

    EngineerWe are discussing Yuki.

  46. Yuki TSUNODARB21:10:130:16

    Yuki TSUNODAMate!

    EngineerYuki, we need to stay calm, we need to stay calm. It's clear. Okay, Yuki, I'll tell you what we're doing. We close up and then we swap. We close up and then we swap.

    Yuki TSUNODAYeah, I'm gonna tire, dumbass!

  47. Charles LECLERCFerrari21:14:230:06

    EngineerIf you keep this pace, we should catch Hamilton at the end.

  48. George RUSSELLMercedes21:15:460:14

    EngineerSo the clerk's still doing high 36s out there. There's a chance of interacting at the very end of the race if he can keep that pace up.

  49. Nico HULKENBERGHaas21:19:300:07

    EngineerThe tires are looking very good, Nico, very good.

  50. George RUSSELLMercedes21:20:020:06

    George RUSSELLJust making sure around here mate.

  51. Sergio PEREZRed Bull21:21:170:09

    EngineerCopy that. Keep your head down. Do what you can.

  52. Lando NORRISMcLaren21:23:200:07

    EngineerOkay, so full concentration. I'll take a drink.

  53. Charles LECLERCFerrari21:26:430:09

    EngineerHow are these tyres for a restart? Question?

    Charles LECLERCI would probably stop.

  54. George RUSSELLMercedes21:27:520:07

    George RUSSELLI have understeer, and I have oversteer.

  55. George RUSSELLMercedes21:29:000:12

    George RUSSELLJust kiss the wall, then you're all fine. We're right.

    EngineerHey, Phil. Pressure's looking good at the moment.

  56. Charles LECLERCFerrari21:30:220:11

    EngineerRussell P1, 36.6 What do you mean Russell P1? I meant Norris, but I didn't want to speak in the corner I

    Charles LECLERCdon't care about Norris, give me Russell

  57. Lando NORRISMcLaren21:32:020:06

    EngineerJust chill out, bring this car home.

  58. Lando NORRISMcLaren21:35:500:10

    Engineerjust a reminder how tricky the following effect is oscar struggled going through three cars be careful

  59. Sergio PEREZRed Bull21:37:450:10

    EngineerYeah, we do have Norris behind. We're getting flashing blues at present. Let's be sensible where we let him through. Go on, keep pushing.

    Engineerit should be, would have been difficult But I think that was the right call and a good job with the tires, just in the end there, good lesson also for next races, eventually And good job through the traffic, that was the key of the race, to go through people in the first, second stint It

    Carlos SAINZwas a shame because the start was quite good, but then someone did a bad side move in, didn't wanna Yeah, and then
