  1. Lewis HAMILTONFerrari14:24:130:07

    Lewis HAMILTONEval, what do you think of it? What do you think

    Engineerof it?

    Lewis HAMILTONMaybe looking for ears?

  2. Kimi ANTONELLIMercedes14:29:210:12

    Kimi ANTONELLIBrakes feel quite bad already, quite long. Feels like air is in the system.

    EngineerCopy, we'll have a look at it.

  3. Lando NORRISMcLaren15:15:300:10

    EngineerLando, how's the pace, how's the tires?

    Lando NORRISJust, yeah, sliding everywhere.

  4. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull15:18:280:09

    Max VERSTAPPENYeah, it's not like a lot to the bias the league on the street. It's not impressive

  5. George RUSSELLMercedes15:19:350:08

    EngineerIs that Lewis in?

    George RUSSELLHe's probably going for a three.

  6. George RUSSELLMercedes15:22:400:16

    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.

  7. Charles LECLERCFerrari15:24:150:13

    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

  8. Franco COLAPINTOAlpine15:30:440:17

    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?

  9. Kimi ANTONELLIMercedes15:32:350:08

    EngineerAffirm, Kimmy. Good lap times.

  10. Nico HULKENBERGAudi15:37:130:07

    EngineerI'm on

    Nico HULKENBERGthe break here. Dangerous.

  11. George RUSSELLMercedes15:43:020:10

    EngineerTo update, Lewis will be on a 3. We are still racing at Norris so we need to keep these lap times going.

  12. Kimi ANTONELLIMercedes15:43:510:08

    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.

  13. Lewis HAMILTONFerrari15:47:100:10

    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

  15. Lewis HAMILTONFerrari15:50:190:08

    EngineerAm I catching now? You are catching really well. Keep pushing, keep pushing.

  16. Kimi ANTONELLIMercedes15:50:420:10

    EngineerThank you, it won't be long for George. We are at risk for Norris behind in 3.9 seconds.

  17. Kimi ANTONELLIMercedes15:51:190:11

    EngineerSo let's not slow each other down racing, we need to keep that gap to Morris, nice and healthy, now at 4.3.

  18. Kimi ANTONELLIMercedes15:54:130:07

    EngineerIt won't be long, Kimmy. Got to cover Norse.

  19. Lewis HAMILTONFerrari15:56:540:12

    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.

  20. George RUSSELLMercedes15:58:350:07

    Engineerand we are forecast to be battling with Lewis end of race on that three stop

  21. Lewis HAMILTONFerrari16:01:310:09

  24. Lando NORRISMcLaren16:11:430:15

    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.
