16:32ALBAlbonSo dusty. Yeah, understood. Yeah, as we expected with this wind, it's going to be dusty.0:0916:34VERVerstappenPitPitMax, just watch your track limits at turn 8. I think we were right on the edge both laps.0:0816:34RUSRussellJust a right -hand grip on the steering wheel, it's coming in a bit loose, making it a bit difficult for the drop. OK, copy.0:1116:39RUSRussellYeah Mark, it's what I said in the garage. I went the opposite way by error, you probably saw that. So I'll probably start in B bow. 10. I would go for it. You probably thought I was nuts didn't you in the garage? No more than normal.0:2016:40RUSRussellCan one of the boys just have a look at this steering wheel grip, what I'm talking about? Sam, do you see that? Yeah, I think they're ready to have a look at that for you George.0:1017:07RICRicciardoPitPitWind hasn't changed, so still the same direction and intensity. Stay on the racing line, it's quite dusty everywhere, try to stay on the racing line.0:1217:10RICRicciardoPitPitAlright buddy, don't know about you but I'm still a bit sore about last week, we didn't get what we deserved so let's f***ing serve and get those points we need. Let's go guys, let's f***ing go.0:1417:11GASGaslyPitPitI took another stone in the hand.0:0717:15ALBAlbonPitPitTyre pressure's look okay, and we are staying out, stay out. It was more like a side hit. Yep, understood, we'll have a look. So stay out please, stay out.0:1117:19VERVerstappenYeah f***, I couldn't do anything there, f***.0:0617:21MAGMagnussenPitPitThe leader is Russell.0:0317:22ALBAlbonWe are so slow on the streets.0:0417:23GASGaslyOk, there are a lot of stones on the track, it's so dirty I keep getting hit by the stones. Ok, copy that.0:1017:23ALBAlbonAudio only17:23ALBAlbonPitPitOk, so I know it's trick on the straights, just remember, tyres will get worse and start to degrade, so we can take advantage.0:0817:27SAISainzThe deployment is wrong.0:0417:28VETVettelPitPitIt's quite difficult on the straight, so I'm losing a lot. Copy that, understeer.0:0617:29ALBAlbonPitPitI'm just so slow in the streets. Yeah, understood. Let's focus on the corners, be strong.0:0717:29PERPerezPitPitIt's all about looking after that left front. You're in a good position here, there's a long race ahead.0:0717:30BOTBottasPitPitI'm Valtteri, we are target plus nine.0:0617:32AITAitkenIt's the hesitation on exit of 8, because I'm short -shifting.0:0617:32RICRicciardoOk, yeah, tyres, face me. Copy.0:0517:33AITAitkenWhat's happening? The exit of 8. I'm getting big hesitations every lap now. Rear is very light, turn 1 and turn 4.0:0917:33VETVettelI'm hanging in there, giving you all I have. Understood.0:0617:34MAGMagnussenPitPitIt's okay, no, I've got measure of understeer. Understood, understood.0:0617:35NORNorrisPitPitLando, how are the tyres? How are the tyres? They're OK. The tyres are fine. I'm just struggling in the dirty air. I've got no rear, so... Lando, box if behind... Down 1. Box if behind Albon, please.0:1517:37KVYKvyatLet's undercut this, guys. Come on. We're looking at traffic. We are on it.0:0717:40ALBAlbonWe're faster, but we're just not raceable.0:0617:40NORNorrisPitPitAnd Lando Gat -Perez, currently 24 .1. If we can continue with a 58 .5 pace, that's good. But they're miles quicker than us. So will I compromise my race by trying to go too quick just to beat them? Lando, if we don't race them, there is no race for us. OK.0:2017:41RICRicciardoWe're still happy with our plan. It's base 3.0:0517:42KVYKvyatPitPitRussian roulette.0:0317:42RUSRussellI'm maxing out on B bell into turn 8, that's what I'm trying to do. So avoid kerb at turn 8 now, that's for both cars. George on B bell, just max out the rotary and then just use the buttons.0:1617:43BOTBottasPitPitAnd target plus 20. Both cars being instructed to stay off the kerb at turn 8. Both cars have one infraction.0:1217:44RICRicciardoPitPitBox, box, box. Too late. I'll do it in past the line.0:0617:46BOTBottasBalance is okay actually, but I'm struggling with front in 7 .8.0:0617:48ALBAlbonPitPitAnd just information, now we've had two strikes at turn 8, so two strikes at turn 8, you need to be careful mate, I know you're trying.0:0917:49SAISainzWe keep wanting to be strong at the end of the spin here. Yes, correct.0:0717:49GASGaslyYeah, I'm liking big stability there.0:0417:49OCOOconPitPitGap 1 .5 seconds to Perez. This is all very good S -man.0:0517:51STRStrollFires are coming back, they're coming back. Copy that Lance, copy that.0:0717:52OCOOconPitPitOK Esteban, let's try and put pressure on Stroll please, let's put pressure on Stroll if you can.0:0817:52PERPerezPitPitWe are happy with the strategy at the moment. Albon behind is dying. He's 3 .6 seconds back. I understand your tyres are struggling at the moment.0:0917:53BOTBottasPitPitWe kick in five more laps.0:0517:53SAISainzThe deployment keeps changing and I am losing the rhythm.0:0617:54RUSRussellFront to start in the next slightly rear -overheating point.0:0617:56RUSRussellPitPitAnd George, we're just going to keep extending whilst we have traffic in our pit window. Yeah, that's fine mate. Just controlling.0:1117:58SAISainzPitPitCarlos, we are considering plan B, we're considering plan B, so stick at status 3, status 3 is good. What's the plan B? I don't remember.0:1017:58RUSRussellPitPitOK, George, it won't be long, so you can start pushing now.0:0717:59RUSRussellPitPitOK George, so box, box. Remember we are the first garage.0:0817:59SAISainzI cannot do most plus at the same time. If you keep doing this status three, we think we're good. Do we think we can do plus? We believe... I cannot do most plus at the same time. If you keep doing this status three, we think we're good. We think we're... What is priority? We need to decide. My pace is going up with Kvyat. Your pace with Kvyat is very... My pace is going up with Kvyat. Your pace with Kvyat is very good. you were two tenths faster what is priority we believe if you keep doing this status 3 we think we're good we think we can do plan B with this status 3 we believe1:1718:00RUSRussellNo power.0:0518:00RUSRussellPitPitHPP default 35, HPP default 35.0:0718:01RUSRussellPitPitSo it's still safer to Valtteri by 4 seconds, so it's still safer to Valtteri by 4 seconds, seconds of clear road, so watch the white line on, warm -up looks ok, then Raikkonen car behind, no power, HPP default 35, HPP default 35, then a Raikkonen car behind, that is more robust, you're over halfway, and1:2118:01BOTBottasAudio only18:01BOTBottasPitPitWe are four seconds unsafe, George.0:0618:02BOTBottasAudio only18:02RUSRussellPitPitSir, Bountress lap time currently at 58. This tyre is more robust. So you're over halfway and this tyre is more robust. Do I need to manage? So you're over halfway and this tyre is more robust. So you're over halfway and this tyre is more robust.0:3418:03RICRicciardoThe sides of the front take off are ok.0:0418:03RUSRussellPitPitbehind in the pit lane now he0:0318:03VETVettelPitPit58 .9, voltage and...0:0218:03BOTBottasPitPitOut, Sainz.0:0318:03GASGaslyAudio only18:04RUSRussellPitPitAnd we're getting track rod overloads, apex turn 7, exit turn 8, so just be careful with that front left.0:1018:05BOTBottasPitPitAnd we have overload, front left track road, turn 7, turn 8.0:0918:08VETVettelPitPitGasly 1 .1 behind. He's gonna walk over us.0:0618:09RICRicciardoPitPitStaying out, staying out. OK, I need these calls earlier, I wouldn't have been able to box then. Copy, copy.0:1018:11NORNorrisPitPitAnd Lando, we want now maximum pace to the end, maximum pace to the end, 30 to go after this one.0:0718:12OCOOconAudio only18:12OCOOconI said we struggled with the rear towards the end. Copy.0:0418:13PERPerezPitPitCheck out the moment, your pace is seriously strong.0:0618:13OCOOconPitPitRemember, stroll on mediums, so if you're going to have trouble, so is he.0:0618:14SAISainzI think we need to push, I cannot hang around here. Yeah, let's go.0:0818:15BOTBottasPitPitCheck for yellow, there's front wing debris out the last corner.0:0518:15ALBAlbonPitPitVirtual safety car, virtual safety car, so slow down, there's a front wing on the track, these tyres aren't great, yeah understood.0:1018:18RUSRussellPitPitOkay George, we're going to need to box box. We have a mixed tyre set on the car.0:0718:19PERPerezPitPitSo we are now the lead car. Russell has also boxed.0:0518:21RUSRussellPitPitSo we should have good pace with the new tyre set, with the newer tyre set. So all not lost.0:1018:22RUSRussellPitPitSo this should be a big tyre advantage? I f***ing hope so!0:0818:24PERPerezWhere are the Mercedes? So Mercedes are behind Lance, it's Bottas and Russell, they're both on medium. So they will be fast. The big problem at the restart will be cold tyres and therefore front locking. Okay, so just take care of front locking and use your yellow button. Okay, the tyres are coming back up a bit but I'd have as much as you can get checkered, keep working on the tyres.0:2418:25BOTBottasPitPitCould be close to Perez at the end for the win.0:06
