Lewis HAMILTONEval, what do you think of it? What do you think
Engineerof it?
Lewis HAMILTONMaybe looking for ears?
Kimi ANTONELLIBrakes feel quite bad already, quite long. Feels like air is in the system.
EngineerCopy, we'll have a look at it.
EngineerLando, how's the pace, how's the tires?
Lando NORRISJust, yeah, sliding everywhere.
Max VERSTAPPENYeah, it's not like a lot to the bias the league on the street. It's not impressive
EngineerIs that Lewis in?
George RUSSELLHe's probably going for a three.
EngineerIf I was managing in that first stint, you could have given me the heads up, but you've exposed me to Kimmy now. I don't think it's going to be long for everyone. If I needed to update you on the plan, that would be really, really quick. Still on plan here, Jordan. Nothing to worry about here.
EngineerAnd Fox Charles Fox, we have the gap to cover Piasco We don't care about Piasco, let's look for the head before the face Ok, let me know on flat, we stay out this lap then, stay out this lap
EngineerOkay, Frank, this is an instruction. We need to switch cars into turn one. Please switch into turn one. Switch cars? Paper. Two into turn four, please. Turn four, switch the cars.
Franco COLAPINTOIt's one out of seconds, Rod. What are you blushing?
Kimi ANTONELLIHappy with fortune.
EngineerAffirm, Kimmy. Good lap times.
EngineerI'm on
Nico HULKENBERGthe break here. Dangerous.
EngineerTo update, Lewis will be on a 3. We are still racing at Norris so we need to keep these lap times going.
EngineerIt's going to give me black or white flag for track limits, so no more of those please, otherwise it's a five second penalty.
EngineerDo
Lewis HAMILTONyou know what time they need to do?
Engineer20.9. Charlie's in forward. You are a different strategy.
EngineerGive you a reminder the track limits, let's not take any risks
EngineerAm I catching now? You are catching really well. Keep pushing, keep pushing.
EngineerThank you, it won't be long for George. We are at risk for Norris behind in 3.9 seconds.
EngineerSo let's not slow each other down racing, we need to keep that gap to Morris, nice and healthy, now at 4.3.
EngineerIt won't be long, Kimmy. Got to cover Norse.
EngineerAnd we are planning other seven laps on this set. This is our race. Give everything these seven laps. It's the critical moment. We have our chance.
Engineerand we are forecast to be battling with Lewis end of race on that three stop
Lewis HAMILTONAnd your iPhone
Lewis HAMILTONGreat job guys
Engineer24 laps remaining, that's the race up ahead of you, got 1.3 behind
EngineerAnd Land of Our Race is having better pace over the whole stint than the cars ahead.
Lando NORRISI just said pace, so I either go with them or I drop back and it's gone. So I can't devise I'm afraid.
EngineerZalando at the end of the race I want to be with him, give me a head he's got three strikes already
Engineer15 laps to go you were doing a good job, so you can go on
EngineerGap at 0.9, 1.3 behind I
Kimi ANTONELLIhave 0.1 more, please, front
EngineerCopy that, Gibby
EngineerI want to pick up the pace here, George.
Engineerand it's quite clear that Anceli has been off track more than three times we've reported it to the FIA we expect he should get at least a five second penalty
EngineerAnd bmig3 suggestion.
Lewis HAMILTONI don't
Engineerknow
Lewis HAMILTONwhere I am. I have set the repeat to 1.
EngineerSo Kimi, you've got five laps remaining, so just warning for track limits everywhere, turn five, exit, turn ten, exit.
Charles LECLERCAh, look the posture. I'm losing the posture
