2016 MEXICAN GRAND PRIX EDITION Red Bull to Verstappen: Ok Max, last lap. Gap to Sebastian 1.7 seconds. Red Bull to Ricciardo: Ok mate, this is the load-Lap now. Tire pressures are fine. This is the load-lap. Ricciardo: I’ve got a massive vibration. How is the gap behind? Red Bull to Ricciardo: Yeah understood. You’ve got a 30 seconds gap to Raikkonen. Keep up the pace in case Vettel gets a penalty. You’ve got no threat from behind. Try to keep within five seconds if possible. Ferrari to Vettel: Ricciardo has lost pace behind. He’s 2.7 seconds behind. Try to stay as close as possible in case of five second penalty at the end. This is the load-lap. Chgequered flag and slow-down lap Red Bull to Verstappen: Max What can I say mate. Amazing job. Amazing job. Really well done Verstappen: That was hard. Red Bull to Verstappen: 59 laps you did on that set. Fantastic. Horner to Verstappen: Well done Maxie, what a fantastic drive. No debate about Turn 1. Ferrari were moaning about it, but you were well ahead and it was a lot less than Rosberg did at the beginning of the race. Great drive, you managed it well, and it was a great effort on Nico as well. Verstappen: Yeah, thank you very much Christian. It was very hard the last 10 laps. But at the end I think it is a very good result. Red Bull to Verstappen: Cool the car on the way to Max! And just a reminder: You will be stopping with Hamilton and Rosberg at turn 13 in the stadium. Enjoy it! Ferrari to Vettel: P4, P4 … slow and cool your brakes! Vettel: I think I showed enough. I mean, it’s not a walk in the park. So to me it is clear. That’s the load what I’m saying. Arrivabene to Vettel: Sebastian we understand, we talk afterwards and we are going to talk with FIA. You’ve done a great race, really. I am proud of you. Vettel to Ferrari: Grazie ragazzi. The car was great, strategy worked well. Shame about yesterday because the pace was there to do more. Grazie. GPI
