Isack HADJARYeah, I need to change helmets. Too much air coming into visor.
EngineerOkay, we'll do that on the grid, no problem.
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.
Carlos SAINZOf that contact.
George RUSSELLThe saffron just cut the corner, brake late and went across the grass, so at least the penalty will get the position back.
Max VERSTAPPENIt's like, please, like, crazy!
Lewis HAMILTONWhat are they doing about people who took lunch turn one?
EngineerNothing yet. Let's focus on our race.

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.
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.
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.
George RUSSELLI've got more pace here.
EngineerOkay, well you're free to overtake.
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.
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.
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.
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.
George RUSSELLOh, great.
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.
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.
EngineerOscar, we think there should be box to overtake, box to overtake Antonelli unless he will pass on the start finish next time.
Charles LECLERCThis is my place, my boy.
EngineerFine. This is... We're staying out to the end.
EngineerInstruction, I'll switch the cars at turn one.
Alexander ALBONThat'd be the worst strategy ever.
EngineerThere's your man ahead of you gap at 21.9. Let's go. That's why we come racing
Kimi ANTONELLIWe should invert position now.
EngineerYeah, we are talking about it. We'll just close in.
EngineerThis is an insane stint, Max. Just finish it off.
EngineerP1 mate, P1. Absolutely fantastic the whole weekend. Yeah,
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.
EngineerCharged that to none, cool down the car, well done. Yeah, good job, it
Charles LECLERCwas quite a tough one.
