11:38HARHartleyAudio only12:31GASGaslyPitPitAnd the wind direction appears to be headwind turn 4, headwind turn 4.0:0612:35RICRicciardoPitPitI just locked the front, it's all good. Yeah, understood.0:0412:40HAMHamiltonCar's sliding around a lot with these rear tyres, don't feel like they're either working or just the car felt like it's flexing quite a lot through the first, like turn 3, and just a lot of sliding in the rear. OK copy Lewis, yeah looks like the track's in a fairly dirty condition, we'll have a chat how it's going.0:2313:03BOTBottasPitPitOK, so track temp's kind of mid -30s still. Still a lot of cloud over, but get occasional sunny spells, but looks at the moment like the start of the race is going to be pretty cloudy.0:1713:19HARHartleyI've got a big flat spot, guys. I'm going to have to box.0:0613:20OCOOconI have damage front wing. Keep going and we'll see what it's like. So you will be pitting, Esteban, you will be pitting. You have half the front wing missing. You will be pitting.0:1213:21GROGrosjeanWilliams just drove into me in the straight. I think he clipped my front wing. OK, understood. We'll check the data. From what we have right now, front wing looks OK. How's the balance? I don't know. There's traffic everywhere. But that was very dangerous. He just drove into me. Understood. We have reported it.0:2213:21HAMHamiltonBounce is okay. Little bit sliding in the rear.0:0513:22GROGrosjeanMan, they're f***ing driving everywhere, it's a mess. Copy that, copy. The Torozo just pushed me wide and then changed direction on the braking.0:1013:22ALOAlonsoPitPitI hit a front wind from a cone in 10 -4, maybe it's OK. Understood, we have checked the data, everything looks OK. OK, Fernando, we need to stop the car, we need to stop the car, pull over to one side in a safe place, please. OK, stop. Sure? Standby. Yes, we're definitely sure. Pull over to one side. And once you stop, P1, pause, P0. Sorry, mate, I'll explain in a minute. OK, P0.0:3213:23HAMHamiltonPitPitTyres are quite fragile.0:0313:24VERVerstappenPitPitHow was the CarMax? All manageable, sir. Understood. Just make sure you keep active on the tools.0:0813:24HAMHamiltonPitPitAnd suggest coming down on diff high speed. Just leave it to it, leave it to it for now, I've got it. OK.0:1113:26RICRicciardoPitPitHamilton may be struggling a little bit with front graining. Bit of front graining for Hamilton.0:0913:30GROGrosjeanIf he could stop moving back to the right and to turn forward, that would help me a lot, because I can't attack because he's just moving back on the racing line. I know my front wing is next to him, but if I'm going for it, I'm just going to crash into him. Understood, understood.0:1713:31VERVerstappenWait, we are really struggling. Yeah, I know. Right, everything you've got this lap please Max, everything you've got.0:0913:31VETVettelTyres are going off a bit, but we try to hang in there. Understood. Copy that.0:0913:33VETVettelPitPitVery good lap, very good lap. Okay, push the ladder. Happy to stay as long as we can. Okay, copy. It's a long way to go.0:1113:37BOTBottasPitPitI don't know if I lost something in the contact. I found that the car was terrible, sliding a lot. So at the time we checked because we thought there was maybe slight contact but couldn't see any damage on the aero sensors.0:1613:37HULHulkenbergPitPitWe just need to sit tight, we're in great shape.0:0413:41VANVandoorneThis space here is ridiculous. We can't get past.0:0613:42VETVettelWhat did he do with the front wing? As discussed, as discussed. Come back with tyre switch as well. We believe everybody are going to the end.0:1213:42HAMHamiltonPitPitThis tire doesn't feel great.0:0413:43VANVandoornePitPitYou 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.0:0913:44RICRicciardoPitPitOK, so Hamilton, not very happy on his tyres, so let's just keep a watching distance and have a look. Understood.0:0913:45HAMHamiltonThe front is opening a little bit. Okay, copy.0:0613:46HAMHamiltonPitPitShow them that.0:0313:46RICRicciardoYeah, I can feel a bit of front left again.0:0413:47RICRicciardoPitPitOK, so there are three cars that started on supers, went through a bit of graining, but looks like they recovered a little bit after 20, 25 laps.0:1013:48HAMHamiltonMy left front is opening up. So tyre appearance looks similar to others around us, so we'll update you in about 10 laps time if the plan changes.0:1113:49VERVerstappenPitPitThis is not going to be straight forward to the end of this race Max, either 1 or 2 stops.0:0613:51VERVerstappenPitPitOK Max, so again, settle down, look after the tyres, there's a lot of troubles behind.0:0913:54HULHulkenbergPitPitVerstappen two seconds behind. **** me. Different world, huh? It is indeed.0:0913:56HULHulkenbergWhat's happening with Carlos? Don't know Nico, let's keep focused.0:0513:56HAMHamiltonPitPitStaying out, staying out.0:0613:56VERVerstappenPitPitIn all of this negativity, you are doing a stellar job. Thank you, sir.0:0613:58HARHartleyPitPitGreen, green, green. Press overtake before turn 12. Green, green, green.0:0414:00RICRicciardoWhat a f***ing joke, these guys. Yeah, understood. Let's just cut through him.0:0714:02RICRicciardoPitPitOK mate, I know we've got **** over there, just remember you need to keep looking after that left front, that is the main aim.0:0614:05HARHartleyPitPitCome on Brendan, let's catch him.0:0314:07RICRicciardoPitPitOK, so about six seconds ahead of you, Vettel has just passed Hamilton. Hamilton isn't very happy.0:0714:10PERPerezI have no brake. It's very long, very, very long.0:0514:10GROGrosjeanNot fair, where does he want me to go? I leave the door open so there's no crash and he just f***ing push me off. Understood, we'll pass it on.0:0914:11HAMHamiltonPitPitRicciardo at 21 .7. Gap is at 4 .4. How's it gone from 6 seconds to 4 .4? Ricciardo's pace is picking up, so the fronts may have cleaned on his car. We have reports of debris between turns 3 and 4. Ricciardo at 20 .7. Gap at 3 .2. You're out there giving me the wrong times, man. I just did a 21 .8. How can you gain a second in that lap? Ricciardo at 20 .8.0:3314:14RICRicciardoPitPitHamilton struggling with vibrations, his left front is angry.0:0514:14HAMHamiltonPitPitYeah, copy that Lewis, we're monitoring the vibrations. Is anyone else struggling like this? No, I think it's just you and Valtteri Lewis that are struggling.0:1214:14VETVettelPitPitLet us know for tyre status, we are... Yes, mostly vibrations. Ok, understood.0:0714:18HAMHamiltonPitPitNothing left, guys. These tyres are dead. Copy, Lewis, we're looking at the options. Box, box, box, box.0:0814:22OCOOconPitPitNothing is going well in this race. Copy that.0:0714:25HAMHamiltonPitPitSo we've just got Raikkonen just on our safety car window. Is that really important right now?0:0814:27GASGaslyYou pushed me off the track. Copy, Pierre. Quick focus. We will report it to Charlie, Pierre. Didn't leave me any space.0:1114:31RICRicciardoPitPitOK mate, nice job. Let's open that gap in this high speed, you can do it.0:0414:35RICRicciardoPitPitIt's good stuff this mate, just keep it up. Thank you, keep me posted.0:0514:37RICRicciardoPitPitOK, Vettel does not have DRS. What's the gap across the line? Gap 1 .4, 1 .4. Isla Slappers, just a couple of tenths quickly, maybe one tenth.0:1314:39VERVerstappenUm, yeah, check my engine if we need to turn it on, turn it on. Understood.0:0714:40RICRicciardoPitPitOK mate, we may have a bit of a problem, we're looking into it. You'll have very heavy steering, stop the car please, stop the car, stop the car. Sorry mate, I don't know what to say. You're doing a brilliant job. Me too. Alright. Yeah, P1 please and then P2. So sorry mate. I'll save it. Yeah, understood.0:2814:41VETVettelSmoke coming from his car. Copy that, copy that. Yeah, big time, so watch out for delivery truck. Yeah, that's his engine.0:1214:41VERVerstappenYeah, massive brake pulling, I need to warm them up. Understood.0:0514:42VERVerstappenAgain, if you need to turn it down, just do it. Understood.0:0614:45GASGaslyI'm super fast in the straights.0:0414:46VERVerstappenPitPitThat was purple, sector 2 and 3. We don't need it mate. I know we don't need it, but it's nice. Yeah, OK Max, that's purple. Please, slow it down. There you go, Bottas on the pressure set. It's out of reach, don't worry about it. Bring it home. OK. Thank you.0:2214:48HAMHamiltonPitPitIt just depends on the progress you make through back marker traffic.0:0714:50VETVettelPitPitAnd 2 laps to go. 2 laps to go. The gap behind. The gap behind is Kimi 28 .6. Kimi going to the end, 1 stop, 21 .6 is last time lap. Well done.0:1514:58HAMHamiltonPitPitThat's it Lewis, that's P4 and the 2018 World Championship, 5 times mate, 5 times. Championship wasn't won today mate, but it was won through a season of solid work and some f***ing great driving. Thank you guys so much for all your hard work, I know it was a tough weekend, but as you said, it's a whole year of great work.
