14:33SAISainzYeah, I don't understand too much traffic. Ok, understood.0:0814:34HAMHamiltonPitPitThey need to put a flag around the corner of where they're doing a start, because you didn't know there was a massive queue. OK, copy.0:0914:37RICRicciardoAudio only14:37RICRicciardoI think something came off the Sauber just in the pit lane, I saw it fly over my car, just checking it didn't get stuck on the kind of left side here.0:1015:01LECLeclercPitPitStill no rain in the next 15 -20 minutes.0:0515:03HAMHamiltonPitPitCurrently track temp reading 39, but still moving up and down with the cloud colour. Wind direction still that headwind is turn 1, so same as calling.0:1215:03HAMHamiltonPitPitTrack temp's probably about 3 or 4 degrees hotter than the FP1, and then a chunk warmer than FP2.0:0915:07HULHulkenbergPitPitAlmost everybody out of the top 10 starts on the soft, only Perez on the super soft and Hartley on the medium.0:0815:08PERPerezPitPitCheck at this moment, risk of light rain, similar to quality, nothing worse at the moment. We'll keep you updated.0:0615:09OCOOconWhat is the latest forecast? There's possible for a very light rain at the moment, but very light, and then that's it at the moment from what we can see. And still around 4, yeah? Possibly, we don't know that at the moment.0:2315:10HAMHamiltonPitPitI don't know, it's quite warm, so warm -up might not be an issue for everyone, you know. Yeah, it's just clouding over now as we speak.0:1115:19HARHartleyPlease check for puncture, puncture. All OK so far, all OK so far. OK, I understand the entry is very big. Copy that, all OK on data, copy that, we keep checking.0:1115:20VANVandoornePitPitStroll has lost DRS. Stroll lost DRS. Let's get him stuff.0:0515:22HAMHamiltonPitPitWhat a tyres Verstappen have. He's on the same as you, super.0:0615:25BOTBottasPitPitVerstappen will try and brake late on the inside if he tries to overtake.0:0515:26VERVerstappenPitPitHe's been told to try and break up the inside of one, Max. OK. He might be running out of battery as well.0:0915:26VERVerstappenPitPitYes! Get in!0:0315:26GROGrosjeanPitPitAnd tell us about the balance. It's not great balance. It's quite inconsistent in the high speed. I think the damage is not great.0:1315:27RICRicciardoPitPitBottas is struggling a little bit, Max has passed him, Raikkonen is on him now. The Mercedes are not particularly quick at this stage.0:0815:28ALOAlonsoPitPitAnd Fernando, how are the tyres? How are the tyres? We are OK, but the traffic, I cannot pass them with the DRS.0:0915:31VERVerstappenPitPitSo slow!0:0415:31VERVerstappenThat was nice. Yep, cracking joke.0:0415:31VERVerstappenIt seems like he's sliding a bit more than me. OK, understood. So just creep up on it.0:0615:32RICRicciardoPitPitOK, last lap for Hamilton and Verstappen, both 14 .0s. Bottas is holding everyone up with a 14 .5. Understood. Yep, there's a lot more pace in it. Yeah, understood.0:1315:35RICRicciardoOK, my tyres are fine. Understood, mate.0:0615:37HAMHamiltonPitPitBox, box, box, box. I've got another lap to be doing. No, let's just go for it. Box, box, box, box.0:0815:38VERVerstappenPitPitDon't overdrive it. Keep it clean.0:0315:38VANVandoorneThe 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.0:1115:39ERIEricssonPitPitI need to box. Ok, copy. I cannot drive this. Copy, copy, copy, box.0:0715:43VERVerstappenYeah, just keep me up to date with what they are doing. Yeah, at the moment Hamilton's too quick on the new tyre, but we're just monitoring the pace of Bottas to make sure we're not in any danger of any undercut or anything like that.0:1315:44HAMHamiltonStopped too early. Just protecting against the undercut, Lewis. We lost ground. No, we're gaining ground.0:1015:44VERVerstappenOk, tyres are good. Understood.0:0415:44HULHulkenbergPitPitCopy.0:0415:44VERVerstappenJust the back markers are a little bit of a pain.0:0315:46HAMHamiltonWhat was I wanted the arrest to stop? Negative.0:0515:48ALOAlonsoPitPitOK, Fernando, it's box to overtake, box to overtake. How is the balance? I don't know! OK, box to overtake please, mate. Stop, stop, stop. And the other Williams stroller is just leaving the pit lane now. No more radio for the rest of the race.0:2315:49VANVandoornePitPitStoffel, 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.0:1315:50HAMHamiltonSo Lewis, we need to match Verstappen's time. Verstappen was the 13 .6 last lap. Thanks for letting me know. Vettel in the pit lane now, stopping for medium. Maximum window. You are 0 .7 safe, 0 .7 safe. And when were you going to tell me this? Lewis, I've been giving you Verstappen's time, so we need to match these. So 13 .6 was his last lap, he's on course for 13 .5.0:4915:51VERVerstappenFrom my feeling the tyres are getting better. Good news.0:0515:55HULHulkenbergPitPitScenario 12, Nico, we need to box and retire. Scenario 12, we need to box and retire. Ah, ****! What is this? I'll tell you when you get back, Nico. Sorry, mate.0:1315:56VERVerstappenPitPitHamilton, last lap is at 13 .5. Ok, I think I can do better than that. Understood. Mate, I think my right rear is really dropping off. Understood. And they are not moving.0:1715:57VETVettelPitPitSebastians, Jockey, we would like you to let Kimi by and let Kimi have a go at Bottas. This is critical for the race for both of you.0:0715:59HAMHamiltonPitPitMy engine OK? Just monitoring the situation Lewis, it's OK for the minute. Power's dropping out. OK, copy, we're looking into it. So Lewis, that SuperSoft can do 36 laps at least, so the wear shouldn't be an issue. Wear is not an issue, it's blistering and sliding.0:2216:01VERVerstappenYeah, I got quite badly compromised with the end of that stint with the traffic. Yeah, understood, but you did a hell of a job to get through the traffic at the beginning of that stint, mate, so that was an excellent job. We do have several laps fresher tyres than Hamilton, and you'll see the whites of his tyres as well. That is a medium for him.0:1916:01HAMHamiltonPitPitHe's got me a lot this lap.0:0316:03VERVerstappenPitPitGet in there my son. Get in there. Alright, let's get a gap to him. You've done everything you've needed to.0:0816:04HAMHamiltonPitPitSo we've got Valtteri in P3. So you've got engine problems. Negative, just a pressure from Raikkonen behind and Vettel behind him. Was there nothing we could do there? Lewis, I think we've done everything we can do.0:1816:11BOTBottasSome nasty blister on the rear left, I'm sure you've seen it. Copy.0:0716:12VERVerstappenI have the Swazilandia behind me, pushing. Understood. Yeah, he's out on fresh supers. What a f***ing idiot! What a f***ing idiot! Alright, calm yourself down for the moment, Max. Yeah, I made massive floor damage. Give me directions with tools. Yeah, just looking for the data now. On the pictures. On pictures you can see what's actually broken. Yeah, we've lost load on the pod front. We're measuring it. I'll give you an update on data and what we can do with tools, but obviously for the moment, you know what you can feel, so get on that and be proactive. Alright, Max, we have lost a significant amount of downforce, but we think it's fairly well balanced, so you just have to manage it.0:4816:13OCOOconI don't think I need to comment what happened. He didn't leave me space there. Yeah, yeah, you were ahead and he didn't leave you space, I understand.0:1116:13HAMHamiltonWe're going to give you some power, but there's a long way to go with the engine turned down like this. Copy Lewis, we're just going to look after the PU at the moment, we're just keeping an eye on it, we'll see what we can do. We don't want to lose the position. Yeah Lewis, we don't want to lose the PU.0:1816:15VETVettelPitPitCan you go quicker? Can you go quicker? We are proceeding to stop again. I'm trying, I'm trying to go as fast as I can.0:1116:15VERVerstappenWait, this battery needs to charge more. We're all really empty. Charge 10 please, charge 10.0:0816:17VERVerstappenPitPitYou just put your personal best sector 2 in there. You've still got some in this.0:0516:18BOTBottasPitPitTry and limit how much overtake we're using, we're just about to go over the limit, so no more overtake for the moment.0:0816:18RICRicciardoPitPitOK mate, Bottas is not allowed to use any more overtake, he's been using it a lot this lap, he might be a bit more vulnerable, I do suggest mad 7, mad 7.0:1016:18ALOAlonsoPitPitFernando, how are the tyres? How are the tyres? Thinking about plan C? Tyres OK for another 15 laps.0:0716:20HAMHamiltonAre the people struggling on tyres? Look, Vettel has just stopped again, not sure why.0:0816:21BOTBottasPitPitValtteri, can you hold Ricciardo up for sure? Not without overtaking or price plus.0:0716:22RICRicciardoPitPitOK mate. We will get him eventually. Let's keep it clean.0:0616:23HAMHamiltonHow is this pace considering? I think all things considered Lewis, pace is good.0:0716:26VERVerstappenPitPitJust took 7 tenths out of Hamilton in sector 2. No, you made a mistake!0:0716:26RICRicciardoOK, I'm going. Send it. Awesome. Right, Raikkonen. Four seconds up the road, let's get him. Good.0:1416:29RICRicciardoPitPitAnd there are 11 laps remaining to get a podium. We can use mode 7 every lap from turn 12 to turn 1. We can use mode 7 every lap. It's free lap time. Let's use it.0:1316:30HARHartleyPitPitOK, I'm getting pretty close to Gasly, guys, I'm going to get head -on push. If I don't get by, I'll get past my Sainz.0:1116:31HAMHamiltonQuite a lot of understeer. Okay, copy.0:0416:31ALOAlonsoFastest lap. It's currently an 11 .3.0:0716:32HARHartleyPitPitDriver swap, driver swap. Yep, he didn't do it. What's going on guys? Turn 4, driver swap, turn 4.0:1116:33HAMHamiltonBlue flags coming up guys. Copy, we're on it.0:0416:33GASGaslyPitPitDrivers swap, turn 4 now, we need to do it, stay in front of Sainz.0:0916:34HAMHamiltonPresley, Tepp, I think they won out.0:0416:34ALOAlonsoPitPitSirotkin is our next target, he's 6 seconds in front. Which position is Sirotkin? Sirotkin is in 16th. Wow, nice target. And we've got blue flags for Verstappen.0:1316:35RICRicciardoPitPitOK, battery is full, and you've got mode 7.0:0316:37HAMHamiltonCar's not turning, got no grip.0:0416:37HARHartleyMate, is he going to let me by or what the f*** is going on? Mate, he's holding me up so much. Use anti -deploy middle sector, use anti -deploy middle sector, get close to him. Mate, I'm right up his f***ing a**.0:1416:37GASGaslyPitPitYou have to leave Hartley by as soon as possible. It's 5 laps to go, can you explain me why we cannot race? It's not like we are fighting for the win. Past 1. On me, John's tyres are not super soft. Sorry, but if you counter -attack me, my tyres are completely damaged. Drivers 1 to turn 1.0:2616:39HARHartleySo what's happening guys, I'm not attacking him because you say he's letting me fly, but then he f***ing doesn't do it. Mate, I'm so close to him guys, come on! We are asking for turn 4 again, we are asking for driver swap turn 4.0:1416:45HAMHamiltonPitPitYes! That's it Lewis, that's the double mate. Mercedes -AMG Patronus, world champs, Lewis Hamilton, world champ. Yes! That's what I'm talking about guys. What an amazing freaking year for you guys, I'm so proud, I'm so grateful I could do this for you today. What an amazing accomplishment, I couldn't have done it without you, thank you. Lewis, we are double world champion, driver world champion and constructor world champion, what a race, congratulations. I better see you all when I get back, come on.0:3316:46VERVerstappenPitPitMate, I don't know what to say, mate. I do not know what to say about that. Yeah, I know what to say. I hope he... I can't find him now in the paddock because then he has a f***ing problem. What a f***. Max, you drove brilliantly today. You've summed it up brilliantly about Mr. Ocon. Compose yourself. You deserve that race victory today, but considering the lack of downforce you've got on that car to catch Hamilton the way you did is a hell of a drive. Yeah, the car was amazing, the whole race. Thank you. Thank you for that, guys. Yeah, no worries, Max. You made such light work of getting through him as well. You didn't... You were not behind him for very long, any of them. It was incredible. You just got straight through him. Incredible maturity getting through, mate. Yeah. You just... Yeah, didn't get a chair on the cake today, but he'll come, mate. He'll come. Yeah, at least we could enjoy the overtakes and the general pace of the car. He left them standing. It was incredible.1:0716:47RAIRaikkonenPitPitGreat race, another podium, be free. Yeah, thank you. I did the best I could. Good job Kimi, thank you.0:12
