  9. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren15:55:51

    EngineerLet's go out of the tyre. It's okay, it's better than the median. Copy.

  10. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren16:00:02

  12. Lance STROLLAston Martin16:10:20

    Lance STROLLI don't understand why you boxed

    Engineerme,

    Lance STROLLman. Like, we said that the Cadillacs would be a problem. We didn't.

    EngineerI understood, Lance. We thought we were struggling so much on the soft. We thought the hard would give us better performance. I think your pace now is going to be good. But that was the choice we took at the time.

  13. Lewis HAMILTONFerrari16:27:33

    Lewis HAMILTONI don't

    Engineerknow,

    Lewis HAMILTONquicker than Charles.

  17. Lewis HAMILTONFerrari16:38:02

    EngineerCheck of gear, turn 10. We are thinking something different. Happy to go to a new medium.

    Lewis HAMILTONIt didn't look great on Charles, so it's slower.

    EngineerWe are not sure. But

    Lewis HAMILTONyou guys have got the data, so figure it out, please.

  18. Kimi ANTONELLIMercedes16:40:08

    EngineerI still recommend a wider line, exit to 10.

    Kimi ANTONELLII can't believe that they've got me here.

  19. Lewis HAMILTONFerrari16:45:14

    Lewis HAMILTONAre you using me as a guinea pig or what? What's going on? How long you have me stay out?

  20. Lando NORRISMcLaren16:48:26
