13:35HULHulkenbergPitPitThere's quite a bit of smoke at the back of my car, a lot of the exhaust. Copy that Nico, no problem in the data.0:0913:36HAMHamiltonPitPitTyres are going to need re -balancing on the right prime, stick with me. OK, copy.0:0713:37MAGMagnussenVery light drops of rain, it's like someone... Ok, understood, understood.0:0913:37PERPerezThere are some new airdrops of rain all around the track. Understood, Checo, understood. We aren't expecting more at the moment.0:1213:38GASGaslyAudio only13:38RAIRaikkonenThere are some raindrops on my visor, so I just do it.0:0913:41HAMHamiltonPitPitHow was that last start? It was on target, Lewis. But I think the grip has come down a little bit with the weather. So I think 35 is still the correct target. There's just a little bit less margin than what we initially thought. So that should be correct on the surface we'll be starting on.0:2313:41GASGaslyThe drink system I'm not sure is the correct pump, because I don't have much water coming, I think we tried a different one which was better. Copy, we'll have a look.0:1413:42GROGrosjeanOK, my drink is leaking quite badly. OK, understood, we'll sort it on the grid.0:0714:03VANVandoornePitPitThere'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.0:1114:05OCOOconIs it me or it's raining a bit? No. There's a very, very tiny light spot. Very tiny and light.0:1214:09HAMHamiltonDefinitely a little bit nervous about having enough front wing in. Let's go up another half.0:0714:10STRStrollI don't hear anyone on the radio. Radio check, radio check. Can you hear me Lance? Yes, now I can hear you.0:1014:11VERVerstappenPitPitAlright mate, so tyre update, Renault and Gasly, so both Renaults and Gasly on soft, on ultras, both Williams and both McLarens.0:1314:11VETVettelPitPitReformation lap, have a look around turn 10, some rain was reported there, should be fine, but just to inform you in advance.0:1114:16VERVerstappenPitPitAlright mate, that was a crack in the first lap. Nice and patient now, let's pick these off.0:0714:17GASGaslyReady for takeoff.0:0314:17VERVerstappenPitPitYou're obviously doing a very, very good job here, Max. Remember the ultimate objective.0:0714:19HARHartleyPit line, brake pedal feels wrong. Torque 1, torque 1, hold the brakes, we are checking, hold the brakes for the pit stop, torque 1.0:0914:21GASGaslyPitPitAll OK, Pierre, all OK. What the **** is going on with the brakes? OK, Pierre, slow down and box, slow down and box.0:1114:22HARHartleyPitPitProblem is still there, please confirm problem is still there, box, box. Very much, very much, the problem happened before the pit stop. Box, box, confirm from data, box, stop in front of the garage, on stop.0:1514:23MAGMagnussenThe curfew is getting hard. Understood, understood.0:0614:24ERIEricssonHe went the wrong side of the bull, Lord, in turn 2. Copy that, we are on it, we are referring that to Charlie.0:0814:27ALOAlonsoPitPitBit of an update for you, both Toro Rossos have retired, we are plan A, maximum pace, plan A, maximum pace.0:0914:29OCOOconPitPitUse energy, go by Magnussen if you can, go by Magnussen if you can.0:0614:29OCOOconPitPitHe moved last minute, that was dangerous. Copy that, Esteban.0:0614:32RICRicciardoPitPitOK, we might have a bit of front wing damage, let us know if you feel understeer. Yeah, I was going to mention I hit symptom 3 on the first lap. OK, understood.0:1314:35VETVettelPitPitWe are on plan B at the moment, plan B at the moment.0:0414:36HAMHamiltonPitPitIt's good times Lewis, just keep it up, we're going to monitor what you're doing.0:0514:36ERIEricssonPitPitOk Marcus, your battery is still low, your battery is still low, so we need to go ahead. How can it be so low? It's normal, it's normal after the pit stop, so he will come back, don't worry.0:1214:38HAMHamiltonHow did that happen?0:0414:41HAMHamiltonPitPitYou need to look at the maneuver on the straight, you move twice. Yeah, copy Lucia, that didn't look cool.0:1014:42SAISainzPitPitDid I touch with anyone? Because I don't feel any touch or anything. Looks like you touched with Sorkin, Carlos. Let's keep our head down, let's keep pushing. Still a long race.0:1214:42RAIRaikkonenPitPitGood lap, Kimi, we are matching each other's pace.0:0414:45PERPerezAudio only14:45RAIRaikkonenOkay.0:0114:45PERPerezPitPitWe have to...0:0214:45PERPerezPitPitWe have to increase the pace, man. This is too slow now. We have to push into it. Is Esteban struggling to push? Or what? This is too slow right now. We need to push, man. Can I overtake?0:2014:45OCOOconPitPitSo you need to get by them now, get by them now.0:0514:46PERPerezPitPitCheco, we're just going to push so we've got better pace than Hülkenberg.0:0514:47PERPerezYes, I just think Esteban is too slow right now. Understood, check out, but Magnussen is the car ahead.0:0714:48OCOOconPitPitSo, Verstappen, you've got three laps to get by him, else Hülkenberg will have done it.0:0614:48PERPerezPitPitEsteban has been given three laps to overtake him.0:0414:49RAIRaikkonenPitPitAnd opposite to Hamilton, opposite to Hamilton. But I cannot see him. And Lamont race, Kimi. Ok, but they had to remember that I couldn't even see him.0:1414:52SAISainzHe pushed me on that ramp. I got a penalty in the past. OK, understood. Understood, Carlos. Exactly the same move, 2015. Take a look at it. They put me 5 second penalty.0:1614:59BOTBottasPitPitIt's James, we had a risk with Lewis against Vettel, he has a small blister, I had to do this to make sure we secured this, I understand.0:1815:06HAMHamiltonI've got hesitations coming into the engine. OK, copy, we'll have a look.0:0815:06HAMHamiltonPitPitI do have blister on the left rear.0:0615:07RICRicciardoPitPitOk Daniel, so for info, people on the first stint on ultras had some graining on the left front, and Hypersoft had a lot of graining as well, so we're going to extend a little bit and we're going to be aggressive on the balance on the next set.0:1515:08PERPerezPitPitChecker, we will have to switch the cars back later in the race if we can't get DRS and get past.0:0815:10PERPerezPitPitCheco, it could only be two more laps before Hülkenberg boxes and then we can't leave it any longer. We think Hülkenberg may be boxing in a couple of laps.0:1115:10OCOOconPitPitSo, Esteban, once Hülkenberg pits, we'll swap the cars back over. Copy that.0:1015:11PERPerezPitPitCheco, you will be given two more laps, you will be given two more laps to do your best.0:0715:13VERVerstappenPitPitYep, get behind, 3 .4, Hamilton last lap with a 38 .0, Bottas 37 .9, same for Vettel, you are quicker than all of them.0:1115:13ERIEricssonPitPitOk Marcus, we have an option to stop for new ultra and try to attack Grosjean at the end of the race. What do you prefer? I don't think much will happen here, but it's not much deck though, so that's a problem. Copy.0:1815:13PERPerezPitPitChecking one more lap to try, one more lap to try.0:0615:15ALOAlonsoPitPitOK, Fernando, as a heads -up, Stroll has been told he is OK to the end on his dash, and he has one hit of quali left. Yes, mate, we are 15. I don't care.0:1515:16VANVandoornePitPitSo 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.0:0915:17VERVerstappenPitPitKeep it up, Max. 15 laps to go.0:0515:18RICRicciardoPitPitWe are going to change the nose, so it'll be a longer stop, need to hold the brakes on whilst they're changing the nose. Understood.0:0915:19GROGrosjeanPitPitSo these are very good laps. How's the tyre? How's the balance? It's getting colder. That's a problem.0:0815:21HULHulkenbergWhere's the leader? How far? He's four seconds behind. So Red Bull is leader? Affirm. How the heck did that happen? He's not pitted yet. He's yet to pit.0:1615:23VERVerstappenYeah, the tyres are a little bit cold, especially in traffic. Difficult to follow now. Ok Max, understood. Alright, push this lap, push this lap.0:1315:24VERVerstappenHe can't follow them, he can't stay close. Now it's already much better. Yeah, copy, Max. Let's keep going. Okay, okay, stay out, Max.0:1515:24VERVerstappenPitPitBox and pick and perm, Max. Box, pick and perm.0:0415:26ALOAlonsoWhat is the fastest lap? It's a 36 .30:0815:28RAIRaikkonenPitPitAnd Verstappen pitted Kimi, he's 12 seconds behind us, he's an option, he could close on us, I will let you know.0:0915:33SIRSirotkinPitPitYep, quite struggling with the tyres now, quite a lot of vibration.0:0615:35VETVettelPitPitHey, come on. Are you serious? 1 .5 seconds, thank you.0:1015:37HAMHamiltonPitPitOK Lewis, so we've got a group of four backmarkers ahead, they are racing, so just be careful.0:0615:39BOTBottasPitPitA firm Valtteri position, stay as they are. We'll talk about it after the race.0:1115:39HAMHamiltonPitPitIt feels like it's coming apart. OK copy, we're looking into it. So one more lap, one more lap, and just stay off the kerbs.0:1015:46HAMHamiltonPitPitWell done Lewis, so Mercedes 1 -2, nice work, good weekend. Doesn't feel great, but congrats to the team, just great effort all weekend. Yeah well done Lewis, solid weekend, just keep the momentum up.0:2515:46BOTBottasPitPitValtteri, this is Toto. Difficult day for you and difficult day for us. Let's discuss it afterwards when we come together and we'll explain the things.0:1215:47VETVettelPitPitI'm P3, Sebastian P3. Nice job. We tried. OK, it was a solid race, guys. We tried. We tried.0:1215:48VERVerstappenPitPitThat's an awesome drive. Really good, mate. Not a bad day's work. Well done, Max. It was a very good birthday drive. Your progression in seven laps into the top six was awesome, so very well done. Yeah, it was exciting for your first laps. And happy birthday. Happy 21st. Thank you. Yeah, I reckon you might have a few first -lap onboard comparisons to your interlap. Was it China or something last year? That was awesome, mate, on lap one. Yeah.0:3515:48RICRicciardoPitPitObviously we had quite a lot of damage in that first stint, you probably, well we were quite understeering, I think we were fortunate we were on the soft tyres because they were pretty robust, people doing quickest laps right at the end of their stints and that was even after the 30 -40 laps. Yeah I remember pulling out of a tow and there was a broken, I think someone's wing or something just before turn 13, so I didn't have enough time to react. Yeah I understood, it was like a middle part of one of the flaps was missing basically and by the end of the stint it was all hanging off, so it was an easy decision to change it. OK, understood, thanks anyways. Yep, it was a bit lonely, but yeah, I see the first couple of laps were a bit of a shamble, so yeah sorry we couldn't get further up. Well at least the eagles won't. I'll take it. Thank you.0:5515:51LECLeclercPitPitExcellent race, Sainz, excellent race. P7, P7. Yes! It's like a win for us. The top six is only Red Bull, Mercedes and Ferrari still, right? Yeah, exactly. Best of the rest. Really great, great race from your side.0:1715:52MAGMagnussenPitPitAbsolutely excellent job, go to mode slow, very solid race. Ok guys, yeah sorry, just didn't have the pace for Leclerc, but solid result, we're getting there, keep pushing. Yeah, we will keep on pushing, thank you very much, still we haven't beaten your record but we will do it very soon, 4 points more.0:2815:55GROGrosjeanPitPitWell, you drove a perfect race, I'm sorry it was only, got you to 11th, but you did everything perfectly, really good management. I don't understand why did the gap open so much with the guys in front? Yeah, I guess most of it happened when we were trying to get around Sainz for a few laps when he was going so slow. Yeah, you just had the disadvantage of you were behind Sainz and Hulk and they weren't, so it's just that, we were just a little bit further back. You did brilliantly though, sorry it's just 11th. Well, did Kevin finish? Okay, yeah, finished P8. That's good. Yeah, it's really good. Leclerc was 7th, Kevin 8th. Yeah, Sauber was flying, mate. They were, yeah, they were. Unbelievable, but anyway, you had a much better management on the soft though and did a really great job.0:44
