Race
Lap 6 – From Sebastian Vettel: “Check the aero numbers, front-left. Seems I have quite a lot of understeer. There’s little grip on the front-left. There seems to be an issue. I think I have damage on the front wing.”
Lap 6 – To Sebastian Vettel: “Yeah the front wing, we see a big loss, so we need to box and change it.”
Lap 6 – From Sebastian Vettel: “Maybe we can delay that, stop a little bit..”
Lap 6 – To Sebastian Vettel: “There is a risk to damage the car and it is too dangerous, so box now”
Lap 9 – From Sebastian Vettel: “I think I lost some piece of the front wing again. Check the numbers. Something came off before braking for turn three/four.”
Lap 40 – To Sebastian Vettel: “Keep pushing. Are you at full speed? We are considering plan B. We pit stop soon.”
Lap 40 – From Sebastian Vettel: “Yeah I’m at full speed. The tyres are pretty worn. Quite a lot of sliding.”
Lap 50 – 50 From Sebastian Vettel: “Do you think we will get them at the end?”
Lap 50 – To Sebastian Vettel: “Yep we think so. Should catch them and have eight laps to battle.”
Lap 53 – From Sebastian Vettel: “How are we doing?”
Lap 53 – To Sebastian Vettel: “You are the fastest car on track. Keep pushing like this.”
Lap 62 – To Sebastian Vettel: “Very good lap. Keep pushing like this. Ricciardo lap time 16.8. They are struggling. They report they are struggling, Ricciardo, Perez comms.”
VL – From Sebastian Vettel: “Ah was one lap too little. I should have got past Perez the last before. Ah, you lose a lot when you follow so close. I don’t know what Ocon was doing. He was moving quite a lot under braking. Was a bit hairy. Nice race, nice recovery. But I think the car deserved more today. Start was actually OK but Bottas was a bit kamikaze considering how dirty and slippery it was. But that’s how it goes sometimes.”
