  9. Get Involved

    Kayleigh: No no noooo for crying out loud!

    S Collis: Now Hulkenberg's Vettel'd it as well

    Mike Crew: This race is insane!

  10. Radio message - Hamilton

    Lap 42/64

    "What's the reason we didn't pit for new tyres?"

    "We have a penalty and it would drop us behind other cars."
