  12. George RUSSELLMercedes

    Engineer: Sainz is backing up. Yeah, if he was just given a target of 19-0, so he's going to start backing you up now, I suspect. Maybe you'll give him a surprise moment, George.

  22. Alexander ALBONWilliams

  23. George RUSSELLMercedes

    George RUSSELL: I had to avoid a collision from Albon, just slammed on the brakes. So

    Engineer: we need to give that position back to Albon.

    George RUSSELL: I'll take the penalty. He's driving erratically.

  24. George RUSSELLMercedes

    Engineer: So, we've got a drive-through penalty, but we'll delay it as long as we can.

    George RUSSELL: To be honest, I'd rather not to speak.

    Engineer: Have fun.
