To Kimi Raikkonen: “OK, copy that. Box please Kimi.”

Second practice session:

From Kimi Raikkonen: “Have to keep those photographers out of the way.”
To Kimi Raikkonen: “Understood.”

From Kimi Raikkonen: “I don’’t know what is happening. The floor is vibrating in turn five the fast left-hander. The rear is very bad.”
To Kimi Raikkonen: “Big lift off before the pit try. Easy on braking. Box. We have a problem with the brakes.”

From Kimi Raikkonen: “OK, box.”

To Kimi Raikkonen: “Sorry Kimi I thought we’d get out before him. Yeah, OK, my mistake. Just watch Bottas at turn one, he’s on his timed lap.”

Race

Kimi Raikkonen came under pressure from Hamilton but wasn’t happy about how the lapped drivers were conducting themselves.

From Kimi Raikkonen: “Not any more [censored by FOM] difficult place he might let me past, middle of the braking.”
To Kimi Raikkonen: “Copy. Very bad.”

To Kimi Raikkonen: “OBR is available again if you need it. Overall pace is good Kimi.”

To Kimi Raikkonen: “And confirm boxing this lap Kimi.”
From Kimi Raikkonen: “OK.”
To Kimi Raikkonen: “Stay out. Lap mode race. Hamilton would be close so we decided to stay out.”

From Kimi Raikkonen: “I can’t take this one. If it’s a solid blue he needs to [censored by FOM] move out of the way.”

To Kimi Raikkonen: “Hamilton 8.9 in free air, he’s seemingly degging off on his qualis. Good lap Kimi, half a second quicker than Hamilton.”

From Kimi Raikkonen: “That [censored by FOM] idiot is moving in the braking area and I am forced to go on the marbles.”
To Kimi Raikkonen: “We’ve spoken with Charlie.”
