  3. Isack HADJARRacing Bulls13:22:100:11

    Isack HADJARYeah, I need to change helmets. Too much air coming into visor.

    EngineerOkay, we'll do that on the grid, no problem.

  4. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull13:23:180:15

    Max VERSTAPPENYeah, the drink just keeps leaking, I have to put the tube on, the tube is crazy.

    EngineerOkay, understood, we'll sort right now on the green. I

    Max VERSTAPPENhave to be careful with talking because it just leaks everywhere.

  5. Carlos SAINZWilliams14:03:540:03

    Carlos SAINZOf that contact.

  6. George RUSSELLMercedes14:05:040:09

    George RUSSELLThe saffron just cut the corner, brake late and went across the grass, so at least the penalty will get the position back.

  7. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull14:10:170:06

    Max VERSTAPPENIt's like, please, like, crazy!

  8. Lewis HAMILTONFerrari14:14:430:12

    Lewis HAMILTONWhat are they doing about people who took lunch turn one?

    EngineerNothing yet. Let's focus on our race.

  9. Esteban OCONHaas14:20:500:06

    Audio only, no transcript

  10. Lewis HAMILTONFerrari14:32:240:23

    EngineerWe have 10 second penalty for the XC34 with Verstappen. We don't agree, but let's keep the height down. The grip is so so small there and the grip there is so low. We know this.

  11. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull14:35:570:17

    EngineerWhat do you want me to do? What are we doing? Staying out max. So are we on a one stop or two stop at the moment? Right, okay. I can hear everything.

  12. Carlos SAINZWilliams14:43:350:11

    Carlos SAINZThe car is jumping in the pit lane. I don't know why. Once it's jumping in the pit lane, like something's broken. Like the vibrations on the pit lane, on the pit lane.

  13. George RUSSELLMercedes14:50:440:08

    George RUSSELLI've got more pace here.

    EngineerOkay, well you're free to overtake.

  14. George RUSSELLMercedes14:52:260:12

    EngineerOK, George, so let's manage these front brakes for a lap or two.

    George RUSSELLWe've got a Ferrari and a Haas ahead. We can fight for the podium here.

    EngineerI know. I do need brakes at the end of the race, though.

  15. George RUSSELLMercedes14:54:480:10

    George RUSSELLI've got a f***ing McLaren up my a**,

    Engineerdo

    George RUSSELLyou want me to let him pass?

    EngineerNo thank you.

    George RUSSELLAh, just checking.

  16. George RUSSELLMercedes14:55:410:12

    George RUSSELLI'm happy to give the position back to Kim if I can't overtake them, but we're just compromising both our races here.

    EngineerI

    George RUSSELLwant much more pace here guys.

  17. George RUSSELLMercedes14:58:420:32

    EngineerSo rear surface temperatures are sky-high. Good, let's get these under control.

    George RUSSELLMarcus, I've got a car in my . Okay? A car much quicker than ours. I'm trying to hold position. I've got much more pace than Kimi here, and we can fight for a podium. I'm happy to give the position back if I don't achieve it, but my tyres are just getting sacked here.

    EngineerUnderstood. But we do need to get these tyres to the end of the race.

  18. George RUSSELLMercedes14:59:410:06

    George RUSSELLOh, great.

  19. Lando NORRISMcLaren15:01:290:14

    Lando NORRISLando, to help the other side, how much do you prefer the soft over the medium? A little bit or a lot? I mean it doesn't feel too bad now, but I still think the soft honestly.

    EngineerThank you.

  20. Alexander ALBONWilliams15:04:480:13

    EngineerWhen you were 13 laps into the hard, it was comparable across cars, and so less on the flapper just as we did. Just ask the other car, what is their balance right now? I don't understand what's going on.

  21. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren15:06:580:09

    EngineerOscar, we think there should be box to overtake, box to overtake Antonelli unless he will pass on the start finish next time.

  22. Charles LECLERCFerrari15:13:430:08

    Charles LECLERCThis is my place, my boy.

    EngineerFine. This is... We're staying out to the end.

  23. Alexander ALBONWilliams15:14:390:08

    EngineerInstruction, I'll switch the cars at turn one.

    Alexander ALBONThat'd be the worst strategy ever.

  24. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull15:22:290:08

    EngineerThere's your man ahead of you gap at 21.9. Let's go. That's why we come racing

  25. Kimi ANTONELLIMercedes15:27:000:09

    Kimi ANTONELLIWe should invert position now.

    EngineerYeah, we are talking about it. We'll just close in.

  26. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull15:30:070:06

    EngineerThis is an insane stint, Max. Just finish it off.

  27. Lando NORRISMcLaren15:42:120:18

    Lando NORRISbeautiful weekend. Well done everyone. Incredible result. Wonderful car. Thanks for the hard work. Keep it up. We need to keep it up. Thank you guys.

    Charles LECLERCwas quite a tough one.
