Oliver BEARMANon me, didn't leave me any space.
EngineerSo how much pace do you have in hand?
Lando NORRISThere are, mate. Oh, yeah. I'm being held up now.
EngineerI'm close to here, so he's apparently just...
EngineerAntonelli making up all his lap times, sector 1, you are fastest, sector 2, sector 3
EngineerGeorge, we are currently under investigation for gaining an advantage, 10-13 on that one I
George RUSSELLwas on the inside, he
Engineerwas overtaken on the outside, that's his wrist Yeah, so it's both 12 and 13, couldn't agree more with you
EngineerShould swap is gonna hit me with this. I will let you know
Esteban OCONHurry!
EngineerYeah, at the moment we have to overtake him Mr. Bun. Okay, watch the onboard a bit
Max VERSTAPPENI'll hit some depth in front of the flag, need to have a look at that.
EngineerOkay.
EngineerLado, we're currently thinking plan A, target lap
Lewis HAMILTONshock entertainer car, take the yellow spin, consider
Engineerengine working too
EngineerVerstappen are wired at entry and exit line, stick about that, which
Kimi ANTONELLIversion, turn
Engineer11
Engineeroutlap critical, outlap critical
Engineercould be racing for exit
Isack HADJARthe tyres are okay by the way, should stay out of it yeah
Engineercopy mate, copy mate, stay out, stay out
EngineerOkay, I'll let the 10-second time panel be for the collision with Gasly.
EngineerIt's a good pace, Kimmy. Just keep it up. Just go as long as you can.
EngineerOK, I think let Max pass into turn 12, into turn 12. I
Isack HADJARdon't want to lose race time, I come left side, I
Engineercome left side, sorry. No mate, this is what you do.
Max VERSTAPPENyeah, thank you guys, we look excited here, so good to hear
Isack HADJARWhy are we on the road?
EngineerIt's the first time for this thing we're going to do, Jimmy. What?
Engineerstrut three, strut three,
Isack HADJARstrut three, press boost,
Engineerpress boost, all the way, press boost, all the way
Max VERSTAPPENI can't mess up properly with my car, it's unbroken, we
Engineersee some issues with the engine braking, torque 12 available, we have nothing else, I can't hear you, I
Max VERSTAPPENcan't hear you
EngineerFront wing update please, Max.
Max VERSTAPPENI've got literally no idea, Max. No idea.
EngineerIf you can keep Russell behind, this could be plan B. Do you think plan B is doable?
Oscar PIASTRIYes, I think so, I suppose.
Kimi ANTONELLIAh, this guy, my god.
EngineerOkay Franco, we need to box the car to retire. Box, box to retire. Sorry mate. Not what I expected.
EngineerOK Lando, so the situation is, we're currently P2, our best chance is just make the one stop work, if it's not going to, it doesn't matter, we'll just bail off it late, best way to defend against Max is the yellow card.
Engineer12 seconds to Norris, we need 38.5 and we are catching also Max, we are fighting the podium with 38.5
EngineerNow with the flat spot, we think we should box this flat. I don't have a flat spot. Get
Lando NORRISto it if you want.
EngineerOK, so we think we're going to stay out, Hamilton likely will come through anyway, as long as we can get to the end, we'd still be at the jar like this
Lando NORRISYeah, no more coughs
EngineerSounds really bad, I think we're doing damage.
EngineerI switch to safety car, if it does go, then you are in
EngineerIf there was a safety car, we would still take the medium. No, I would take a soft. Why don't I go through to take a medium? Because it's brand new. But if you want a soft, that's fine. I don't care.
Engineernice work Kimi, that was a beautiful drive mate, awesome job by strategy, perfectly executed race, well done mate
