Yeah, so it's still on an upward trend, so yeah, we're about 28 .5, 29 now.0:1113:04PERPerezPitPitThe tailwind is now more of a pure tailwind down the back straight, so as you go from 11th to 12th it's more of a direct tailwind there.0:1013:08SAISainzPitPitOK, so tyre -wise, everybody's on super soft behind you. Ericsson is on soft, Verstappen.0:1213:15ALOAlonsoYeah, I don't know how much damage I have. These guys are impossible to race with. Impossible. Yeah, I see a lot of damage on the right side, so box this lap and you check.0:1413:16HAMHamiltonPitPitSo Vettel has spun, he's down the order now, still running.0:0613:17HAMHamiltonPitPitWe have debris. Exit turn 9, so through 10.0:0613:18VERVerstappenPitPit8, max, display 8.

Any idea how far? How long is this? I will let you know.0:1213:33VETVettelPitPitWe think it's going to be a long one. I think they are removing Ricciardo's car, it couldn't be that quick I believe, but stay focused, I'll let you know.0:1613:33VERVerstappenPitPitVirtual safety car ending, max, reverse off, virtual safety car ending, reverse off.0:0713:34RAIRaikkonenPitPitKimi most likely Hamilton is on two stops.0:0513:35BOTBottasPitPitLewis is 3 .7 behind, so don't hold him up.0:0713:37VERVerstappenUm, any concern about my engine or something? Negative.0:0713:38HULHulkenbergPitPitOK, Nico, we're pulling half a second a lap on Ocon.0:0513:39VETVettelPitPitHamilton pitted under virtual, pitting new prime, might go on two stops or struggle in the end.0:1013:41PERPerezPitPitTellers don't want to push hard, he's holding me up, a good half a second.

Understood, Kimi.0:0713:46VERVerstappenPitPitIt's only the middle sector to Bottas, should we imagine where that delta is? Yeah, we are missing some ponies there. Can I have another balance update please Max? No, all fine, but I'm just struggling with the brakes, they are really not nice.0:2113:47VETVettelPitPitKimilap 10 -41 -2, right behind him is Hamilton, 40 .7, they are racing, Verstappen 40 .4.0:1013:49VETVettelPitPitKeep it up at 42 .3, Verstappen 40 .9, keep your head down, important phase.0:1013:50RAIRaikkonenPitPitBox, give me a good box.0:0413:50RAIRaikkonenPitPitAnd grab motor race and K2 on.

And engine 3, Kimi, engine 3, at the moment we are targeting Hamilton base in slapping 39 .5, I will keep you updated.0:1313:56VETVettelPitPitYou will need to let Kimi by. Kimi will be 1 .2 behind.0:0713:58VETVettelMy wheels are done. Copy that, copy that.0:0813:58VETVettelPitPitAnd box, Sebastian box, for new prime.0:0614:01VANVandoornePitPitStoffel, 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.0:0914:01VERVerstappenMy pedal went long in that corner. Brakes are really not good. Understood.0:0914:05VETVettelPitPitDegradation seems low on the prime. Hamilton started off in a 38 .8 and is now on a 39 .1 after 16 laps.0:1414:09LECLeclercPitPitAnd box this lap, Charles, box this lap. So, Charles, we will retire the car. Box this lap. Box, box.

Copy.0:1114:16HAMHamiltonPitPitOK Lewis, can you give us feedback on the tyres and a balance check? Just waiting for more at the rear, must be blistering, we'll see how this lap is.0:1814:16HAMHamiltonPitPitOK, let's say box, box, box, box.0:0614:18HAMHamiltonPitPitSo, 19 laps to go Lewis, we just need everything now.0:0514:19VERVerstappenPitPitOK, info. Hamilton suffered with severe blisters and he's pitting again. He will fall behind us.0:0914:20HAMHamiltonPitPitAnd 12 seconds ahead to Räikkönen. How did it get to 12 seconds? Yeah, Lewis who really suffered with the backmarker traffic, he's just been in free air, he's hitting those backmarkers now.0:1414:21RAIRaikkonenPitPitAnd multifunction mix 7, give me when you can. Hamilton now is P4, he just boxed, we reckon he will catch us in the last 3 laps of the race.0:1414:22HAMHamiltonPitPitSo you're on the same tyre as Räikkönen, his is a 16 laps older. Räikkönen was at 39 .6, 39 .6.0:1014:24RAIRaikkonenPitPitPut our rest as a moment.0:0514:26VETVettelPitPitAnd we do see some blisters or some Bottas, we believe it's trying to go to the end.
