- 2018 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix · Race“So, Stoff, there is actually a small chance of rain in the race. Meteor France put it at 40%, I'm not sure I believe it's that high, but the fact that the wind hasn't changed direction yet is slightly unusual, and we can tell you there's very unlikely to be anything for half an hour. You're very optimistic today, very optimistic.”
- 2018 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix · Race“Stuffle, let's have a great race. Thank you for all your hard work the last couple years. Let's go out with a good one. Cheers, Zach. One more time.”
- 2018 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix · Race“These tires are not doing well. Copy.”
- 2018 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix · Race“Mega job, mega.”
- 2018 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix · Race“He's passed. Copy Stoff, copy, no problem, car behind is Gasly, is Hartley, we need to defend against that. We need to defend against Hartley. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, I know, I understand.”
- 2018 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix · Race“There's a very strong tailwind turn 8. Fernando locked to front and ran on there. Take care turn 8.”
- 2018 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix · Race“Mate, there were some great battles in the middle there. Holding those cars behind was fantastic. Yeah, just thanks for the two past years. It's been a good experience and I wish everyone the best in the future. Yeah, thank you, Stoffel. It's been great working with you. Great drive, Stoffel. Great drive.”
- 2018 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix · Practice 1“This is once past. Once past. You're staying out, normal driving on the inland.”
- 2018 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix · Practice 1“We measure a reasonable tailwind both underneath the hotel and into turn 5. 15 to 20 kph there, that's affecting the rear grip.”
- 2018 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix · Practice 1“Anything I can do to protect the rear here, because I'm overheating massively. Copy, we'll have a look, stand by. So stop, suggest blue B8, blue B8 to help the rears, and only use the left hand side toggle in turn 17.”
- 2018 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix · Practice 2“I went off in turn 1. Copy, copy. Is the car okay, Stoff? Yeah, all good, all good.”
- 2018 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix · Practice 2“Yeah, well, I guess you saw what happened. Yeah, copy.”
- 2018 Brazilian Grand Prix · Race“Stroll has lost DRS. Stroll lost DRS. Let's get him stuff.”
- 2018 Brazilian Grand Prix · Race“The vibrations are getting worse, we see the vibration in the data, it's coming from the rear tyres, we're monitoring at Stoffel, no concern at the moment from our side, no concern.”
- 2018 Brazilian Grand Prix · Race“Stoffel, was there any debris in turn 7? Was there debris in turn 7? There is some debris on the inside, yes. I think they should clean the track. Understood, Stoffel, understood.”
- 2018 Brazilian Grand Prix · Practice 3“I'm not sure if I hit the bird into turn 11. OK, copy, we'll check. We think we missed, we think we missed the bird, should be OK, no concern.”
- 2018 Brazilian Grand Prix · Qualifying“Starting to rain a bit in the final corner, starting to rain a bit so I think we need to be quick.”
- 2018 Brazilian Grand Prix · Practice 1“Too much traffic. Copy, copy.”
- 2018 Brazilian Grand Prix · Practice 2“Ok, Stoff, all well done. The wind has picked up since P1, it's about 5 kph stronger. You're currently P6, 9 cars have set times. And Stoff, actually lap time is not looking too bad. Grosjean is the fastest midfield car on prime, he's won 10 .6, Sainz won 11 .0.”
- 2018 Brazilian Grand Prix · Practice 2“Stoff, that looked like a pretty good lap apart from turn 10. Pretty good lap apart from turn 10. There's a very big tailwind in turn 10 that lap as well. We measured a very big tailwind in turn 10.”
- 2018 Brazilian Grand Prix · Practice 2“What's happening? We're just getting the umbilical stuff. We have a problem.”
- 2018 Mexican Grand Prix · Race“This space here is ridiculous. We can't get past.”
- 2018 Mexican Grand Prix · Race“You can use scenario 3 if it will give you an opportunity. Switch to scenario 3 before turn 12 if it will give you an opportunity. Tyres look good.”
- 2018 Mexican Grand Prix · Practice 3“The pit lane looks like it's the wettest part.”
- 2018 Mexican Grand Prix · Practice 3“That's P1 stuff, well done.”
- 2018 Mexican Grand Prix · Practice 3“So stop, it's just turn 12, it's the only place we lose out, I think you know what happened there. Yeah, I went too deep.”
- 2018 United States Grand Prix · Race“Stoffel, we've had three warnings for turn 19, you need to stay on the track in turn 19 or we'll be reported to the stewards. OK, copy.”
- 2018 United States Grand Prix · Practice 2“Stoffel suggests to warm the brakes into turn 11, then recharge off and sock 7, sock 7.”
- 2018 Japanese Grand Prix · Race“We got ourselves ahead of the Williams mate, that's not a bad effort after yesterday. Yeah, that was a frustrating race. I mean honestly, with this power we can't do anything.”
- 2018 Japanese Grand Prix · Qualifying“Just check the light in the pit exit should go green now. Okay, okay, so good warm -up lap, warm -up on brakes and focus on the fronts, okay.”
- 2018 Japanese Grand Prix · Qualifying“OK, so good warm -up lap, warm -up on brakes, and focus on the fronts.”
- 2018 Japanese Grand Prix · Qualifying“Stoffel, it looks like you pulled an accidental upshift, then downshift, exit of turn 7. Can you confirm that was you, or do we need to exchange the steering wheel? No, that was me, that was me. OK, copy. Yeah, also this outlap was not great, tyres were cold to start. Confirm.”
- 2018 Japanese Grand Prix · Practice 2“Good warm -up on the front, Stoff, good warm -up on the front.”
- 2018 Japanese Grand Prix · Practice 2“And stop. Left hand side toggle should help turn 1, turn 2. Left hand side toggle turn 1, turn 2.”
- 2018 Japanese Grand Prix · Practice 2“Fernando opening a lap behind, so watch for Fernando, help him if you can.”
- 2018 Japanese Grand Prix · Practice 2“So, Stoff, the Degners look very good. In the hairpin you had that snap. In turn 1, there's a little bit to find.”
- 2018 Japanese Grand Prix · Practice 2“Suggest brake potato turn 1. Brake potato turn 1 to help you get lateral load early in the corner.”
- 2018 Russian Grand Prix · Race“There's very light drops of rain here. The Marshall Post 110 has been reporting rain a little bit longer, but we expect it all to pass quite quickly. We think it's dried.”
- 2018 Russian Grand Prix · Race“So Stoff, the challenge for us is to get Sainz at the end. We want to maximise your pace to the end to keep him under pressure. If he keeps pushing, his tyre will fail.”
- 2018 Russian Grand Prix · Race“Stop, that was great getting past Sainz at the end, fought hard for that, certainly P16th and we could have pitted earlier and raced the other Williams, so that's a shame, we'll look at that after, but you drove really well, pace was good, much better pace than yesterday.”
