  4. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull17:12:280:08

    EngineerThis is good for now, Max. We may wish to be going longer, so just keep on top.

  5. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren17:14:360:06

    EngineerLet's see if we can start putting Verstappen under pressure.

  6. Lando NORRISMcLaren17:26:510:07

    EngineerAnd keep building this gap on Leclerc. It gives us choices.

  7. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren17:28:100:08

    EngineerOscar, do you think we can do plan A? Thoughts on plan A?

    Oscar PIASTRII think it's doable for now.

  8. George RUSSELLMercedes17:29:290:08

    George RUSSELLFirst not moving and then the braking, I don't know what it is, but it's really as I brake it moves.

  9. Yuki TSUNODARed Bull17:34:260:08

    EngineerOkay, we expect Norris to be near DRS within one lap. Oh, he can when he catches.

  10. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren17:38:210:06

    EngineerOkay, you've got some clear air. Let's see how this tyre recovers.

  11. Yuki TSUNODARed Bull17:50:060:15

    EngineerOkay, we have been given a five second penalty for moving twice on our defense of Norris We've got penalty for moving twice in defense to Norris head down

  12. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull17:53:420:12

    EngineerBasically we need our fastest stint to the end max. We don't want to give away too much race time to Piastri, who will undoubtedly be relatively quick on his medium.

  13. Lando NORRISMcLaren17:54:550:10

    Engineerand Lando doing a great job compared to the clerk he might pit soon and go on a two in which case we'd cover in the next lap

  14. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren17:57:170:09

    EngineerHow's this tyre now? Yeah, rear's starting to get a bit worse now. Okay.

  15. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren18:06:010:07

    EngineerI don't want to be giving up too much time. We want to see whether we can chase down Verstappen here.

  16. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull18:08:010:08

    EngineerHe's gonna need to be 1.5 seconds quicker than you every luck. I'll give you posted

  17. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren18:09:180:12

    Oscar PIASTRIWhat's the picture in front? How do I win this race?

    EngineerVerstappen is on your pit stop window. He's doing 27.9.

  18. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull18:13:130:12

    EngineerIs Schwarz catching it or not? Fairly equal pace, Max, between them. Last lap was a couple of tenths quicker, but nothing drastic.

  19. Lando NORRISMcLaren18:18:440:20

    EngineerSo, Lando, doing a fantastic job here, mate. Everything's looking good. There's five racing laps, including this one, we think. What are your thoughts on soft or staying out on this hard?

    Lando NORRISI mean, I think a soft would be better. It's just, you know, the safety car gets delayed or something. It becomes an issue.

  20. Lando NORRISMcLaren18:24:440:08

    Lando NORRISIs he struggling with grading?

    EngineerFor Oscar, it's more the rares.

  21. Lando NORRISMcLaren18:31:230:47
