PR From Daniil Kvyat I have some vibration in between turn eight and nine. Don’t know where.

PR From Daniil Kvyat The rear-right is losing sometimes, some rear snaps. Brakes slightly pulling.

PR To Romain Grosjean OK Romain you can go to the grid. P14, left-hand side, see you there.

PR From Romain Grosjean OK going to the grid.

PR To Romain Grosjean Good job Romain, good job!

PR From Romain Grosjean Yeah, I will not respond to that one!

PR From Nico Rosberg There’s this yellow arrow showing the [unclear].

PR To Nico Rosberg It’s a demo, don’t worry about it.

PR To Pascal Wehrlein Can’t believe I’m going to say this but we’ve got six-and-a-half minutes to wait now.

PR From Pascal Wehrlein Can I jump out again?

PR To Kimi Raikkonen So that track temperature is now starting to move down to 32. For info Kimi we’ve only got five cars starting on primes. I’ll let you know which ones later. Should be a bit easier on strategy.

PR To Kevin Magnussen So remember pit lane speed is on. Good luck, mate.

FL From Felipe Nasr The grip is quite good, the starting point.

2 To Jolyon Palmer OK Jo very good so far. P11. Keep pushing, mate.

3 To Kevin Magnussen OK what damage is is Kev? Front wing? Is it a puncture, Kev? Talk to us about the damage. You need to box, do you?

3 From Kevin Magnussen It’s front wing and suspension I think.

3 To Kevin Magnussen OK.

4 From Romain Grosjean Mate, check my front wing. I don’t know if it’s all OK.

4 To Romain Grosjean Wing looks OK in data.

4 From Romain Grosjean I got pushed out of the track by the Red Bull. Like ridiculous. I got pushed everywhere in the first few laps. Just a joke. I don’t know what that was, was just not fair.

4 To Romain Grosjean Understood, mate. Let’s get into a rhythm. We’re still OK, still on our plan.

4 To Jenson Button Jenson consider red A3 for turn one. Same approach as qualifying.

4 From Jenson Button Roger.

5 From Felipe Massa Fernando passed me outside of the track.

5 From Max Verstappen Didn’t get much space there.

5 To Max Verstappen Understood Max.

5 From Max Verstappen Do I have any damage on the front wing?

5 To Max Verstappen We’re checking everything at the moment. How does the car feel?

5 From Max Verstappen All OK for the moment.

5 To Max Verstappen OK mate, understood.

5 To Kevin Magnussen OK Kev I’m very sorry but we’re going to have to retire the car, box this lap. Suspension damage looks too bad to continue. Box, box.

6 From Valtteri Bottas I think something is wrong with the rear dampers. The car is bouncing like hell.

6 To Valtteri Bottas Copy stand by.

6 From Valtteri Bottas I think rear suspension.

6 To Valtteri Bottas Copy, we see the issue in the data. Let Felipe through.

6 From Valtteri Bottas Copy.

6 To Valtteri Bottas We’ll continue, I don’t think there is anything we can do.

6 From Jenson Button Palmer just cut across turn 11 to stay in front.

6 To Jenson Button Copy Jenson, Copy.

6 From Nico Hulkenberg I got hit on the rear. I think I have some damage. I have massive vibration, Puncture, rear-left or something.

6 To Nico Hulkenberg No puncture, pressures OK, no puncture.

7 To Valtteri Bottas Box Valtteri. We’ll drive it back into the garage and we’ll have a look. We won’t retire.

7 To Kevin Magnussen We’ll leave you in the car, we’ll assess the damage. I don’t know if there’s any chance we’ll go back out but let’s assess the damage, stay in the car please.

8 To Daniel Ricciardo OK the Ferraris are starting to struggled with front tyres.

8 From Kimi Raikkonen Hey he’s really going now so don’t waste time.

9 From Nico Hulkenberg The undercut will be massive now. We need to stop now.

9 To Nico Hulkenberg Pit this lap, pit confirm.

10 To Nico Rosberg So they’re purposely making Verstappen slow, you need to get past him.

11 To Nico Rosberg So don’t take any risks with Verstappen. You’re doing the right thing.

11 To Kimi Raikkonen We’re low on battery Kimi, just be careful with K1, I know you need it, though.

11 To Pascal Wehrlein OK Pascal you were over a second a lap quicker than all the cars ahead last lap. Let’s keep it up. Make sure we don’t take too much out of think front tyres, think about switches.

12 To Nico Rosberg Looking after that front tyre, right-front tyre.

14 From Jenson Button Something feels a bit wrong with the steering. Yeah, we got a failure guys.

14 To Jenson Button Copy, Jenson, copy. We’re looking at the data. Yeah Jenson we can see a mechanical problem. Front-right wheel problem. Pull over where it’s safe. Jenson if you’re able to return to the garage that’s OK, just take care, take great care. You’ve got Palmer, Gutierrez close behind. OK Jenson Wehrlein’s the last car, once Wehrlein’s by track is clear, you can box.

14 From Jenson Button I don’t think we’ve ever had a failure like this. Anyway it’s done now.

14 To Jenson Button Yeah Jenson that was going well I think. But just stop, we’ll put you on trolleys and wheel you back into thre garage.

15 To Max Verstappen OK Max this is all we need at the moment. Excellent job. Just keep it clean.

15 To Felipe Massa Great job on Grosjean. So now the two Force Indias, close up on them.

15 From Max Verstappen I think I’m starting to lose the rear tyre a little bit,

15 To Max Verstappen OK, understood.

16 To Romain Grosjean OK next behind is Alonso on soft. We’re happy on our plan, we’re doing our own race, so we just need to make sure our lap time is optimal for us.

16 From Romain Grosjean Well everyone is overtaking us, it is not easy.

17 To Carlos Sainz Jnr Yellow between ten and eleven. Danny parked the car on the left.

17 From Lewis Hamilton There’s a lot of overall sliding on these tyres, particularly at the front.

18 To Lewis Hamilton Tyre temps are cool front and rear, that’s where some of the sliding might come from. Just be careful we’re not going to grain them.

19 From Daniil Kvyat Agh false neutral

19 To Daniil Kvyat Clutch up-shift.

19 From Daniil Kvyat Doesn’t work. What should I do?

19 To Daniil Kvyat OK pull over and stop the car, we have a gearbox problem.

19 From Daniil Kvyat Worked, worked. Ah [censored by FOM]. OK, now, yeah it’s a problem.

19 To Daniil Kvyat OK try to pull the car in a safe place. Sorry for that. Gearbox issue.

20 To Nico Rosberg So it’s critical now that we start passing Verstappen.

20 From Max Verstappen It’s getting a little more difficult for me at the moment.

20 To Max Verstappen Undetstood, Max.

20 From Max Verstappen But I think we shouldn’t box. We are quick.

20 To Max Verstappen Copy. We’re not planning on boxing just yet, mate.

20 From Fernando Alonso Why we are P10? We didn’t overtake one Red Bull at the start that crashed?

20 To Fernando Alonso We’ve lost one position to Massa and the Red Bull that crashed was able to rejoin so they are still ahead of us.

21 To Nico Rosberg OK so catch the back of Lewis, good job.

21 From Max Verstappen Yeah they certainly got a little more damaged now.

21 To Max Verstappen Yeah stay out for the minute, Max. Stick with it.

22 To Esteban Gutierrez Ericsson in front hasn’t stopped yet and is almost two seconds slower than you. Come on.

22 To Nico Rosberg So Nico next three more laps are critical. Verstappen is going to the end.

23 From Nico Rosberg How much am I pushing now?

23 To Nico Rosberg We’re just trying to get a gap behind.

23 From Nico Rosberg That doesn’t tell me anything.

24 From Pascal Wehrlein Come on, he has to leave me a bit of space.

24 To Pascal Wehrlein Just keep the pressure on Nasr.

24 From Pascal Wehrlein And he’s changing direction many times.

25 From Sebastian Vettel I asked you four laps ago either we go early or go long. Now I;’m just stuck in traffic for nothing.

25 To Sebastian Vettel We have threat from Verstappen on one stop so we nned to go long at the moment.

25 From Sebastian Vettel Yeah of course but if all the cars in front are doing the same of us we have no chance of doing anything either so we just finish in sixth.

25 To Sebastian Vettel Copy that. I’ll let you know.

26 From Nico Rosberg Losing time out of turn ten because of the over-loads.

26 To Nico Rosberg OK but that’s safety-critical at the moment.

26 To Daniel Ricciardo OK be very close to Raikkonen at the pit exit. Push now, let’s get him.

27 From Romain Grosjean What was that, OK? Where did he want me to go? Ask the FIA what I should do – I was in front he just pushed me wide.

27 To Romain Grosjean Understood, we saw it, we’ll report it.

28 From Nico Rosberg How is my race looking?

28 To Nico Rosberg P2 is safe at the moment.

28 From Nico Rosberg That’s good to know.

28 To Lewis Hamilton OK Lewis box, box.

29 To Esteban Gutierrez Spark three for maximum performance, come on boy.

29 To Daniel Ricciardo OK Daniel so Verstappen ahead is on thtree lap older stops than us. Vettel is still running on his stint two, he may go long and fit the super-soft at the end.

30 To Kimi Raikkonen Update on race situatuion. Seb is still out on primes, he is 21 seconds ahead. Obviously Verstappen, Ricciardo in front going to the end like you.

30 To Esteban Gutierrez Need to have him now.

31 To Max Verstappen OK Max pace on Daniel’s first soft stint, the front-right was the limitation, OK.

31 To Nico Rosberg So situation 26 laps remaining, you’re going to the end. Verstappen is the car behind you, he’s also going to the end, he’s on eight lap older tyres. So most important, look after that front.

32 To Lewis Hamilton Question: Just wondering why you’re so slow? Currently unsafe to Vettel.

33 To Lewis Hamilton We’d be happy with a 45.3.

33 To Esteban Gutierrez Good job, boy, come on. Next one is Ericsson.

34 To Lewis Hamilton Negative, we have Vettel ahead, he’s yet to stop. 24-lap-old soft tyres.

34 From Lewis Hamilton Only Vettel ahead, yeah?

34 To Lewis Hamilton Affirm. And he’s just inside our Safety Car window.

35 From Lewis Hamilton What position am I in?

35 To Lewis Hamilton Currently P2. So ned more management turn two, less in three.

35 From Nico Rosberg Pace is very slow again. Not great for a late Safety Car.

36 From Sebastian Vettel OK these tyres are really starting to go down, now.

36 To Sebastian Vettel Copy that, and copy tyre phase.

36 From Lewis Hamilton Is Vettel one-stopping?

36 To Lewis Hamilton We don’t believe so Lewis. But he may be a threat later in the race if he takes the super-soft.

36 To Esteban Gutierrez We are now in 12th position. I need clean and clear laps until the end. Come on, boy.

36 To Romain Grosjean Really good laps, dude, really good.

37 From Marcus Ericsson You need to pit me before they catch me.

37 To Marcus Ericsson Yep, it’s all under control.

39 From Marcus Ericsson Why? Now I lose everything because they’re catching me.

39 To Marcus Ericsson Negative. It will be this lap, box this lap.

40 From Kimi Raikkonen [Censored by FOM] I can’t get close enough this Manor is on a new soft tyre.

40 From Kimi Raikkonen He got two times the blue flag and then it goes away and he doesn’t slow down, so…

42 To Romain Grosjean So we have a small chance on catching Massa at the end. Otherwise we’ll capitalise on someone else’s problem.

42 From Romain Grosjean That doesn’t sound very optimistic.

42 From Lewis Hamilton Blue flag, havven’t seen no blue flags today. You need to give me the times of other cars, please.

42 To Lewis Hamilton Red Bulls 45.9. The threat is from Vettel, he’s currently 44.6, coming through the field.

42 To Carlos Sainz Jnr Scenario five.

42 From Carlos Sainz Jnr No leave me to it, please, don’t tell me, leave me alone.

42 To Carlos Sainz Jnr Understood. You will have blue flag soon, by the way. I’ll leave you alone.

44 From Carlos Sainz Jnr This Palmer is an idiot, no?

44 To Carlos Sainz Jnr Yeah he got a front lock and bumped into your ass. Never mind, he just boxed and now he is behind.

44 From Carlos Sainz Jnr Yeah I have missed shifts. Yeah gearbox not working.

44 To Carlos Sainz Jnr Stay out for the moment if you can, watch [unclear] coming from behind.

44 From Carlos Sainz Jnr Yeah my gearbox is not working I have to retire.

44 To Carlos Sainz Jnr Copy.

44 From Carlos Sainz Jnr I will probably get home.

44 To Carlos Sainz Jnr Sorry for that Carlos. By the way this fight, the result, it was a pleasure for me this year to share everything with you.

44 From Carlos Sainz Jnr Yeah it was coming a good race I think but there’s some stupid people there like Grosjean and Palmer, they just make things more complicated. But anyway good job this year. Thank you.

44 To Carlos Sainz Jnr Thank you as well mate.

44 To Lewis Hamilton OK Lewis really need to pick up the pace. Need high 44s. Vettel imminent threat.

46 From Nico Rosberg This is really slow pace so maybe at some point invert the cars and if by the end of the race Lewis is still second I’ll let him by again. I know that’s a really stupid request but this is really slow at the moment. He’s doing exactly… he’s quick in sector one so it’s difficult for me.

47 To Lewis Hamilton OK Lewis this is an instruction. We need 45.1 for the win.

47 From Lewis Hamilton I suggest you guys let us race.

47 To Daniel Ricciardo OK Daniel so let’s stick with him. He will catch Max and the two Mercedes at this rate as well so there’s still a bit of meat to be had.

48 To Max Verstappen Try and push up to Rosberg’s DRS. Keep pushing, mate.

49 To Nico Rosberg Seven laps remaining. Gap to Verstappen 1.5. He’s obviously backing you up.

49 From Nico Rosberg Consider doing something. I can go so much quicker.

49 To Nico Rosberg Yeah, copy that.

50 To Max Verstappen Within two or three tenths of DRS, Max.

51 To Lewis Hamilton Lewis this is Paddy. We need you to pick up the pace to win this race. That is an instruction.

51 From Lewis Hamilton Paddy I am actually in the lead right now I’m quite comfortable here.

52 From Pascal Wehrlein He needs to give me the position back.

52 To Pascal Wehrlein Tell us what happened, Pascal, we’ll look into it.

52 From Pascal Wehrlein He overtook me in the run-off area.

52 From Esteban Ocon What was that guys? [Censored by FOM] hell, he’s an idiot.

52 To Nico Rosberg OK so four laps remaining. Remember we can afford P3, we can’t afford damage, so just be cautious with Vettel.

52 To Max Verstappen Alright there still might be an opportunity at the end mate, stick with it.

52 From Max Verstappen Yeah I was giving it everything. We’re just not quick enough on the straight.

52 To Max Verstappen Yeah don’t worry mate, just stick with it.

53 To Sebastian Vettel Three laps to go. We are safe on tyres, you can push to the end. Push on the limit.

53 To Felipe Massa OK Felipe three more laps to go. We are catching Perez, let’s try and get in his DRS for the last few laps.

54 To Lewis Hamilton Lewis we need to target the 45s if we’re going to win this.

54 From Lewis Hamilton Right now I’m losing the world championship so I’m really not bothered if I’m going to win or lose this race.

55 To Sebastian Vettel SOC [state of charge] one for the last lap.

55 To Nico Rosberg So this is the last lap. Try and get within DRS of Lewis. Remember you only need P3.

VL To Nico Rosberg Nico you are world champion!

VL From Nico Rosberg Thank you so much guys. That’s a childhood dream come true. Thank you so much,

VL To Nico Rosberg Amazing job I’m so proud of you, you’ve done amazing! Woohoo!

VL From Nico Rosberg We did it, we did it!
