12:31GASGaslyI had the engine braking effect again under the tunnel on the pit exit. Ok, we have a look. The car was a bit hot leaving the garage, the car was a bit hot leaving the garage, should be better next lap. Box, box, through the pit lane.0:1712:32GASGaslyPitPitYeah, we are managing the PU for the race. It will be better in the race.0:0512:33GASGaslyWe need to clean the left mirror.0:0412:35RAIRaikkonenNeed to check the front when I had the gap, understeer side, oversteer. OK, I'm checking now. Yeah, looks OK. Looks OK, we'll check on the grid.0:1312:37RUSRussellCan we try and shorten the drinks tube from my helmet under load? It keeps sort of whacking against my neck.0:1213:08GASGaslyI say there is one last race, let's not be sharp and nail it.0:0513:08NORNorrisPitPitOkay mate, we've got a few hard -ons today. We've got Kvyat and the two Willys have gone hard. Everybody else with a free choice is medium, apart from Givinazzi who's gone soft. Thank you for that very precise information Geoff.0:1213:10LECLeclercI was just waiting for the turbo engagement, but it didn't happen.0:0413:17STRStrollPitPitThe front right's killing me, the damage.0:0613:18GROGrosjeanNice motor battery I'm struggling with.0:0413:21PERPerezPitPitThere's a technical problem with the system. Technical problem with the system. F .I .A. Ah, great.0:0713:23VERVerstappenMate, the engine doesn't pull at low RPM, what is this? Standby.0:0913:23SAISainzI'm suffering a bit with front right, behind Nando.0:0413:24GROGrosjeanPitPitIf you guys have got any suggestions, I don't know what to do in here.0:0613:25LECLeclercPitPitAnd we are going plan A, update tyre phase when you can.0:0813:27SAISainzEvery lap more from limited. Copy.0:0513:27VERVerstappenPitPitInfo Bottas, still P11, the gap is around 23 seconds to him.0:0613:27LECLeclercPitPitWe need to push as much as you can.0:0613:29LECLeclercI felt some weird vibrations turning in. Check the tyres. Copy, I will come back to you.0:1213:30LECLeclercPitPitSo everything is fine on data.0:0613:31RICRicciardoPitPitNo.0:0113:31HULHulkenbergPitPitSo Norris' pace on hards is similar to our current pace.0:0413:32VETVettelPitPitAnd push, push as much as you can. I am doing that.0:0913:32KUBKubicaRear -ride overheating in the last sector, and front -ride struggling. I think I have a damaged front wing or something, because I farted a second time.0:1113:34KUBKubicaI think we have front -right some big damage, but I have huge understeer in them too. Unbelievable.0:0713:37VERVerstappenTyres are still okay for me. I just keep going. Understood, Max. You're doing a good job. Keep it going.0:1013:37HAMHamiltonPitPitAnd we'll just keep extending just a little bit.0:0513:40SAISainzPitPitscenario 8, stay close to Lando, Hülkenberg absolutely on your pit window0:0513:41HAMHamiltonFerries are getting hot, but they seem to be okay still. Okay, copy.0:0813:41NORNorrisI'm, you know, struggling. Tired and like...0:0613:41SAISainzPitPitWe need Lando to make a move, guys. Copy. Scenario 8. Scenario 8. I'll tell him, Carlos.0:0613:42NORNorrisPitPitAnd try to press and hold overtake early on Grosjean.0:0413:44RICRicciardoPitPitOk, I suggest using the front left for turn 1, see high front surface temps there.0:0713:45SAISainzI haven't asked this this year, but I don't know, I think I can go through Grosjean if he cannot do it.0:0613:46HULHulkenbergPitPitFantastic work Nico, let's not overstress these tyres getting past Norris, we've got plenty of time.0:0713:47HAMHamiltonThe only concern I have, if the safety car comes out and we have the pit for that hard tyre and I can't get any temperature into it, we're in trouble. Copy Lewis, we're not concerned, we think everyone will be in the same boat, if not worse.0:1913:48SAISainzPitPitOk Carlos, so let's start managing the rear surface temperature. Your opportunity with Hülkenberg will come at the end of the race, we're still in a good position.0:0813:49VETVettelPitPitEngine 4, engine 4. Why? Because we need it, NK1 available.0:1113:51ALBAlbonPitPitHow is the balance on these tyres? How is the balance? It's good. It's just something dirtier, so it's hard to say, but the balance is good. Copy, thank you.0:1213:51VERVerstappenYeah, we'll try as hard as we can to go now. Understood.0:0813:53HAMHamiltonWho is it that I just overtook? That was Stroll. Someone needs to tell him you can't let off in the braking zone, it's crazy.0:0813:55SAISainzPitPitCarlos, tyre life should be tight to the end. Tyre life will be tight to the end. Yeah, I feel it. I feel it.0:0713:56ALBAlbonPitPitGasly, elapsed car, overrun. We need to get out of the way this time. Jump in the sky.0:0813:56VERVerstappenPitPitBox and pit confirm please Max, box, pit confirm.0:0613:57HAMHamiltonPitPitSo this will box box.0:0613:59VERVerstappenMassive lag out of corners. Understood, standby. Something is not correct.0:0913:59VERVerstappenPitPitEngine 11, position 8. Engine 11, position 8. I've got a massive handbrake impact as well. Understood, we're looking at it.0:1314:00VERVerstappenHow come this suddenly is a problem? We're looking at it, Max. Just calm down for the moment, refocus.0:0914:03VERVerstappenIt's still 34. Understood, I'll get back to you.0:0814:04BOTBottasPitPitSo push hard now, box, box, box.0:0614:05VERVerstappenIt's after the pit stop, something happened. I don't know what it is. Yeah, we may not be able to do too much at this stage. We're looking at it, Max, and we'll update you as and when. What I have now is the best compromise. Understood. Keep us posted.0:1714:06BOTBottasDebris has started to drop a little bit more now. You will drop behind Albon and Vettel, you're going to pass them on track, it looks relatively easy, and at the end of the race we're going to catch Leclerc.0:1214:06VERVerstappenYeah, just help, please help me with my response of the engine because it's slowing me down.0:0914:06LECLeclercPitPitVerstappen with DRS.0:0214:09VERVerstappenPitPitIt just feels like a massive drug hole in the beginning of my throttle map. Understood. There's nothing we can do about it, Max. There is nothing we can do about it at this stage. Okay, so you're gonna have to live with it. You're quick enough.0:1514:10LECLeclercShould we try plan C? We are looking into it. Plan C, plan C. Copy, understood.0:1314:11VETVettelPitPitCome on. Come on, move.0:0514:12VETVettelCome on. Come on, move.0:0714:16ALBAlbonPitPitYou're doing great, Alex.0:0314:16BOTBottasPitPitSo I'll shut up. You know what to do with the strap modes. Copy.0:0814:17VETVettelPitPitSteer on plan A. Steer on plan A. Copy.0:0914:18NORNorrisI guess we'll be racing a lot of people to the end, but Verstappen is on the medium. So Lando, 3 cars behind you, Hülkenberg, Carlos and Ricciardo, we are racing to the end, they've made their stop. In front is Perez and Kvyat, they are yet to stop.0:1714:18VETVettelThink about pick. Ok, we have anything.0:0814:19LECLeclercPitPitAnd mode box, mode box.0:0614:21VERVerstappenThe engine braking is a bit inconsistent, but there is less lag on both Ferraris on a two -stop. I could hear it behind you.0:1614:24SAISainzIt might be a good moment to stop if you're not sure about running. Copy.0:0914:26BOTBottasPitPitSo recommending strat 7, this race is not over, that tyre might drop.0:0914:27NORNorrisPitPitLando, for us, plan A is still the best thing to do. You're doing a really good job, mate. Yup. Hülkenberg is 2 .5 behind. Perez is the car behind him.0:1214:28VETVettelPitPitPass this lap is Bottas, 39 .7, 9 .7.0:0814:29SAISainzPitPitOkay, next car's right, he's about to get blue flags, pace is good, purple sector, middle sector.0:0614:29RICRicciardoPitPitAlright mate, that's beast mode now.0:0314:29SAISainzPitPitLet's have a few laps. Scenario 7. Catch up with these guys. Scenario 7.0:0414:31VERVerstappenPitPitIt looks like there's a bit of a scrap between Hamilton and Bottas for purple laps. Bottas currently holds at 39 .7, Hamilton last lap 40 .0.0:1014:33PERPerezPitPitNorris ahead, you've been about 1 .2 seconds quicker than him.0:0514:34HULHulkenbergWe're a bit hot to dry now. We just have to set it out a bit.0:0514:34NORNorrisPitPitWe have nothing to lose so let's use this tyre if we need to.0:0514:35STRStrollYeah, brakes are failing. Proud of this problem brake. Box and retire, box and retire.0:0914:35MAGMagnussenPitPitOk Kevin, we'll need some miracles ahead, but let's hang in there with this tyre, let's get this tyre to the end and we'll be available for a chance if it comes. Doing great, good job with the tyres.0:1014:35NORNorrisPitPitWe have nothing to lose, so let's use this tyre if we need to.0:0814:36PERPerezPitPitCheco Norris ahead, is the oldest on the primes, he's 29 in that old primes.0:06
