Alonso"I don't need any f------ drinks! It's enough concentration to keep the car on the track, you know, forget the drinks!"
Alonso: “I’m quickest on track in the corners.”
Team: “Understood, I’ll check.”
Team: “Copy, we’re flexible.”
Team: “No damage that we’re aware of. Our pace is a little bit better than we expected.”
Alonso: “How he can be behind us? Unbelievable.”
Team: “We think this is the best chance is to go to the end. Copy on your message though.”
Raikkonen: I have so poor front end [censored by FOM] they’re just going to catch me so easy. I cannot push in the front. So where are we going to finish? I have no front end and it’s 20 laps to go. So…”
Team: “Our current prediction is P3 if we don’t stop. We think Seb’s going to come through but the others will be behind.”
Team: “So Vettel did 36.9.”
Raikkonen: “We’re almost three seconds slower and you still think it’s good to stay out? It’s only going to get more worse.”
Team: “Understood. Verstappen 37.6, Ricciardo 37.6.”
Raikkonen: “It’s still 18 laps to go and the front is already seriously bad. Really bad on the left front.”
Team: “Understood Kimi, understood.”
Raikkonen: “Because somebody else behind even the Red Bulls will pass us we don’t stop. Come on.”
Team: “Box this lap, Kimi, box this lap.”
Team: “Copy.”
Verstappen: “It’s ridiculous, mate, I’m losing grip.”
Verstappen: “Can you please keep telling Charlie [Whiting, FIA Race director]. This is pretty ridiculous.”
Vettel: “Yeah I enjoyed that one. Grazie a tutti. Grande lavoro. That was a bit unlucky. I think we did the right thing but obviously there was the Safety Car straight away. But it felt like in the mixed conditions it felt like we were the quicker. We were the quicker, man, we were the quicker! But we couldn’t prove that one. Next time we will. Grazie.”
Team: “Bravo Sebastian, bravo bravo bravo
Hamilton: “Well managed from you too man. Thank you so much for all your efforts guys. Everyone has really worked hard for this. Got to keep pushing.”
