Max VERSTAPPENGuys, it's a little bit here.
EngineerYep, understood. Could be drops at turn 4, turn 12.
George RUSSELLbrain to intensify very little
Max VERSTAPPENUh, just for your information, this engine, uh, lag rates are a lot less, so pick the look out if you will.
EngineerOkay, well that's it, thank you.
Gabriel BORTOLETOAh, Stroll pushed me out. Yeah, he just turned if I was not there.
EngineerIs
Lewis HAMILTONthe floor okay?
EngineerDamage confirmed to the floor.
Lewis HAMILTONI am lost. A lot of downforce. Are you stable?
EngineerUnderstood.
Oscar PIASTRIYeah, let me know, space.
EngineerCopy.
EngineerSo we think we've picked up a front-ride puncture, Max, and that was the reason for the box.
Lewis HAMILTONHey, I'm gonna crash out here. I'll keep trying cause crazy unsabled
EngineerAnd Lando, from our side, we think it's more like plan B, plan B, possibly even plan D, plan D.
EngineerOscar, we have a 10-second penalty for the safety car restart, Turn 1. Best opportunity is Plan C, and you need to get to target lap with good pace. Oscar, your pace looks good, and we can still make this work.
EngineerOscar, how's the grip overall? Any evidence the hard may be better than P1? Didn't look too bad on Aston Martin.
Oscar PIASTRIIt's difficult to know, but the medium feels good for now.
Oscar PIASTRIWhat's the plan here?
EngineerOscar, use your pace. We're trying to catch and undercut Fairman and Russell. Stafford will help you with that.
EngineerI hope you're a bit more optimistic about this furniture than I am, because it doesn't look very pretty from where I'm sat. This looks best to us Oscar, because of the expected dag on the soft.
Isack HADJAROh my god!
EngineerIsak, head down, we have much better tyres.
Isack HADJARDon't shout at me, okay? Thank you.
EngineerSomething I didn't think I'd say Max, at the end of the pitlane earlier, you are now race leader.
Max VERSTAPPENGo Max!
EngineerOkay Kimi, so the situation has now changed, so we are now defending this position. 16 laps remaining, we just need the best stint to the end, best stint.
EngineerIt's been a fairly vulnerable tyre this match, so yeah, do your best.
Max VERSTAPPENYeah, we're going to take the list.
George RUSSELLNo, we're now on break, we look hot again.
EngineerAFIRM, they're right on our limit here George.
George RUSSELLYou've got the data mate, you tell me when they're on the limit. I don't
Engineerwant
George RUSSELLto be bringing it up.
EngineerP2 is on here Max, assuming you can control the deck.
EngineerThank you for not expecting wear concern on this tyre. You have 12 laps remaining, so best into the end, mate.
Kimi ANTONELLIYeah, I'm
Engineerfighting,
Kimi ANTONELLIwhat do you think, mate?

Lando NORRISAmazing job mate, amazing job. The whole weekend on
Engineerit.
Lando NORRISYeah well done. Nice race, well executed. Good job all weekend. Not quite a big enough gap for my liking though, so definitely some things to look at. Let's keep it going, thanks guys.
