Every message, in the order it happened

1. Alexander ALBONRed Bull13:10:43

   Engineer: The

   Alexander ALBON: ship's already burned.

   Engineer: Shall

   Alexander ALBON: I keep going?

   Engineer: Fail to fail. Fail to fail.

2. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull13:19:30

   Max VERSTAPPEN: Again, the volume is so low, it's incredible to hear you.

   Engineer: OK, copy.

3. Carlos SAINZMcLaren13:27:58

   Carlos SAINZ: I nearly crashed into this guy.

   Engineer: He

   Carlos SAINZ: was doing burnouts in the pit lane. That's forbidden.

   Engineer: Carlos, burnouts in the pit lane should be allowed. Burnouts by point fines are allowed, just no starts.

   Carlos SAINZ: Yeah, but I nearly crashed.

4. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes13:30:13

   Engineer: Your purple is sector 3, still main loss we're seeing is turn 3. Probably

   Lewis HAMILTON: too deep in.

5. Alexander ALBONRed Bull13:38:27

   Alexander ALBON: Something's strange.

   Engineer: More detail please, more detail.

   Alexander ALBON: Just a lot of fronts now, huge fronts, the car's really neutral mid-corner, in low speed and high speed. I think maybe we should take some clap off and go again.

6. Lance STROLLRacing Point13:42:26

   Lance STROLL: What was Otus doing? He was pitting anyways.

7. Carlos SAINZMcLaren13:51:54

   Carlos SAINZ: I think I lost the flap again guys, I'm so sorry.

   Engineer: Carlos, we need to box this lap then, box this lap.

8. Sergio PEREZRacing Point14:00:55

   Engineer: This first two laps are matching Leclerc at the moment in the same time.

9. Romain GROSJEANHaas14:01:06

   Engineer: Okay, dude, we have the track to ourselves at the minute. I'll keep you posted what's going on behind

10. Romain GROSJEANHaas14:05:54

    Engineer: Good lap dude, good lap. Ok, let's back off, we'll charge back up. What can we help you with?

    Romain GROSJEAN: Turn 1 and 3. Rears.

    Engineer: Understood.

11. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri14:07:05

    Engineer: Cooldown position is good

12. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull14:07:38

    Max VERSTAPPEN: There are so many, so much oversteer on entry.

    Engineer: Understood, thank you.

13. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo14:08:08

    Engineer: Ok, we need a bit of full throttle if you can for the battery please.

14. Carlos SAINZMcLaren14:09:10

    Engineer: So Carlos, you're P3 with that lap. Most cars are on the medium tyre. Watch for Giovinazzi. Grosjean on hard has done a 7.8. The two Alfa Tauris are on hard as well, but no time yet.

15. Romain GROSJEANHaas14:10:40

    Engineer: The

    Romain GROSJEAN: car is very inconsistent, those laps, I don't know where it's coming from.

    Engineer: Ok, we'll look.

16. Esteban OCONRenault14:13:49

    Engineer: The

    Esteban OCON: wind is big.

    Engineer: Copy.

17. Charles LECLERCFerrari14:14:05

    Engineer: GPS is not working fine for us, so be careful with the mirrors What

    Charles LECLERC: did you say about the RS? The RS? I felt it, I felt it, yeah And

    Engineer: GPS is not working, so difficult for me for traffic

18. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas14:16:18

    Kevin MAGNUSSEN: Do we have time for one more time?

    Engineer: Yes. Yeah, go for it. Okay to push so remember mode push

19. Sebastian VETTELFerrari14:17:10

    Engineer: Well, do we have time for one more? Yes, we do. Yeah, then I'll take one more.

20. George RUSSELLWilliams14:19:06

    Engineer: Okay, I'll try and get the VLM sweep, VLM 2 out of turn 1 I can't get over VLM, it's not possible. VLM out of 3? If you can, VLM 3 out of 3 if you can

21. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes14:19:14

    Engineer: my shifting isn't working, I can't shift the gear

22. Sergio PEREZRacing Point14:22:28

    Sergio PEREZ: Close apiece.

    Engineer: So check it, you're two tenths quicker than Lance, matching Verstappen.

23. Lance STROLLRacing Point14:22:53

    Lance STROLL: Can't get a clean lap. I'm losing grip in the tires.

24. Romain GROSJEANHaas14:26:35

    Engineer: Check the brake system, that was very strange. Ok, we'll look, we'll look. Looks ok, looks ok. That was very weird looking.

25. Esteban OCONRenault14:26:42

    Engineer: OK Esteban, remember to use the brakes firmly on the outlap, track will be clear behind. Fastest hard tyre car was Sainz on 5.9.

26. Lando NORRISMcLaren14:28:05

    Engineer: And let's have 100% pace, 100% pace.

27. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:28:11

    Engineer: Verstappen set his time on his third push lap

28. Esteban OCONRenault14:32:54

    Engineer: So, Esteban, it's sector one and sector three where we're losing about a tenth compared to science.

29. Nicholas LATIFIWilliams14:33:46

    Engineer: Go cool, go cool, target plus 30, plus 30.

30. Daniel RICCIARDORenault14:35:21

    Daniel RICCIARDO: Yeah, I struggled with the front and the the high speed

    Engineer: Okay understood just a reminder that you can use that front left modifier again

31. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull14:40:21

    Engineer: Recharge on. I

    Max VERSTAPPEN: have massive understeer, can I box?

    Engineer: Yeah, box this lap.

    Max VERSTAPPEN: Ok, doesn't make sense to continue.

    Engineer: And strat 7, strat 7.

    Max VERSTAPPEN: After turn 7 suddenly I have massive understeer, so maybe check the front wing or something?

    Engineer: Copy, so box this lap.

32. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:43:43

    Engineer: So to Valtteri, just a little bit of time to find late entry turn 1, and a little bit late entry turn 3, but I think that may have been traffic.

33. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo14:45:27

    Engineer: How many

    Kimi RAIKKONEN: laps have we done?

    Engineer: We have done six time laps. We

    Kimi RAIKKONEN: need these tires off too soon? Yes, yes. Well, we can start with it on the long run or we change it? No, no, we will start with this one for the long run. I'd like to try it one more lap, just to figure it out.

    Engineer: OK, fine, fine.

    Kimi RAIKKONEN: If it's not good, I come in.

    Engineer: Copy, copy, you can do it. So, mode push then. Watch for if it goes behind.

34. Esteban OCONRenault14:48:46

    Engineer: Double cool down you want to go for two cooldowns? Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's good

35. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes14:53:59

    Engineer: So high-speed, it looks front sliding more than rear.

36. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:55:36

    Engineer: and if you can go strat mode 14, 14.

    Lewis HAMILTON: 14.

    Engineer: Affirm

37. Daniil KVYATAlphaTauri14:58:51

    Daniil KVYAT: I hear some strange noise in the turbine, just for you to check.

    Engineer: Yeah, we are looking Danny.

38. George RUSSELLWilliams15:01:08

    George RUSSELL: I've got a bit of flow vis on my visor, I'll take a tear off when I box, if somebody can be there to collect him. Yeah, copy, just do it before you stop. What do you mean?

    Engineer: You're not going to let it go in the pit lane, you're going to hand it over, eh? Yeah, scraped. Alright, copy that. Alright, bottom's within three.

39. Daniel RICCIARDORenault15:02:51

    Engineer: And watch for gravel between turns six and seven wherever stop and came back on track

42. George RUSSELLWilliams15:07:27

    George RUSSELL: I have abort launch on the dash.

    Engineer: Copy that. I'm going to leave the front wing then. I haven't heard otherwise. It will be okay to pull away.

43. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo15:09:42

    Engineer: Yeah,

    Kimi RAIKKONEN: still a freckling in the last corner.

    Engineer: Copy that, yeah, some oversteer there.

44. Alexander ALBONRed Bull15:13:12

    Alexander ALBON: It's too neutral, take away two clicks.

    Engineer: Copy.

45. Nicholas LATIFIWilliams15:14:16

    Nicholas LATIFI: Do I use DRS to defend or no?

    Engineer: Negative

46. Charles LECLERCFerrari15:17:32

    Charles LECLERC: Maybe check quickly the handflakes, because Seb took off at

    Engineer: the rough. Yeah,

    Charles LECLERC: exactly. And

    Engineer: target just went right.

47. Sebastian VETTELFerrari15:20:03

    Engineer: I go for the off-wing. Need a bit more front wing. OK, understood.

48. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull15:20:31

    Engineer: And target lap time 8.6

51. Sergio PEREZRacing Point15:23:14

    Engineer: Engine 14, position 2. Engine 14, position 2.

53. Esteban OCONRenault15:25:37

55. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas15:30:25

    Engineer: Starting last timed lap, starting last timed lap.

56. Charles LECLERCFerrari15:30:46

    Engineer: and we need secondary FC position 8 FC position 8

57. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull15:31:26

    Engineer: Okay, so we're going back round to the grid mix. So cool the car for the moment. Cool the car.

58. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri15:32:05
