Every message, in the order it happened
Engineer: Tracks should be green.
Engineer: And you can go multi GX3, multi GX3, and okay to push, okay to push. You can have a look at the track condition around there.
Romain GROSJEAN: 11, 11
Engineer: loud and clear in CSL 4, position 4.
Engineer: And Kimi, you can select Multi-B, Shift, 4.
Engineer: Ok, you have a lot of margin to cool down your front during this charge lap, you have nobody behind.
Engineer: You're still a bit on the cold side at turn 1 starting a lap so don't worry to overshoot the target
Engineer: Okay give me more charge and we can do at least two more push.
Engineer: Ok Kimi, we are still on the cool side on the tires, we suggest some weaving after turn 11.
Engineer: Okay, the battery should be just okay if we have some full throttle now.
Engineer: We're okay to continue Keep warming up. You need to go out to keep warming up. We miss plus 12 front plus 10 rear
Engineer: And go in, go in, stay within the delta. That's a good lap. Alpha second quicker than George. Sector one, two tenths quicker. Sector two, alpha tenths. Sector three, 2.5 tenths. Good lap.
Alexander ALBON: We can't get the, uh, we can't get the, uh, gear sync, Nate.
Engineer: Copy.
Engineer: And clutch position was on target.
Engineer: okay so there's P1 Verstappen on the medium 17-0 Lewis has aborted suggesting single cooldown you're in sync with the cars around you car behind on an out lap no cars unless behind you got Lewis starting a lap now it's 17 seconds 16 seconds
Engineer: Main lost to Valtteri, minimum speed turn 11, so just down in sector 3 by 8 hundredths.
Engineer: Keep me posted on tight condition max. So we'll obviously monitor that data as well.
Max VERSTAPPEN: Yeah, I think it's okay so far
Engineer: Understood
Engineer: Ok Carlos, that's P13. The big loss is obviously Turn 2. The rest of the lap is not too bad.
Engineer: A little bit still to find in the two high-speed corners.
Engineer: Purple C4, position 9. Purple C4, 9.
Engineer: Ciao John, ciao John
Daniil KVYAT: Everything feels so cold, like tires, brakes Is there anything wrong?
Engineer: We are in the working range Danny If you don't think you are going to learn much, we box for a setup adjustment
Daniil KVYAT: Yes
Engineer: Copy, box, box And the torque 4, torque 4 Nobody is pushing behind
Engineer: Time to gain is turn 9, and turn 11, turn 9, turn 11, Norris, 2 seconds.
Alexander ALBON: Yeah but, you say that, I have traffic every time I go through these corners.
Engineer: Yeah, understood, that's okay.
Carlos SAINZ: I
Engineer: think it mostly looks okay now you're losing is all in sector 3 so compared to Lando who did a 1.22.9 you're 1 tenths up at the breaking point for turn 12 you lose a tenth and a half turn 12 tenth and a half turn 13 and 2 tenths turn 14
Esteban OCON: What the hell?
Engineer: That was unfortunate, Esteban. Otherwise a very good lap.
Engineer: Front tyre temperatures are pretty good. Warm the front right if you can in 12.
Engineer: That was a better lap, sector 1, half a tenth quicker, and we lost a bit sector 2 and 3, but very similar, so you are a tenth away from George, but that's a good job so far, mate.
Antonio GIOVINAZZI: How about you Euron? Taliesin 3 has need to be gone, but how about you?
Engineer: Copy, we do one more push then.
Engineer: Practice pit entry, practice pit entry, careful white line and peak limiter, this set is done so you can practice it hard.
Engineer: Copy Pitlane, copy Pitlane. Flap adjust, yes, no?
Nicholas LATIFI: Yes, yeah, I would say like plus one and a half. Copy
Engineer: that.
Engineer: And it will be mode push for last corner, mode push.
Pierre GASLY: Anyone pushing around us?
Engineer: Negative, negative, we have Bottas Hamilton hot lap behind new tyre
Charles LECLERC: Lufthansa update, can you please?
Engineer: Yeah, so at the moment yourself P1 15.7, Sebastian 16.3
Nicholas LATIFI: I spawned, I spawned. Car's okay.
Engineer: Look at that, be careful when you rejoin. Be careful when you rejoin. Vettel is coming, Ghazi is coming, 10-12. Rejoin safely.
Engineer: So still at turn 4, main place to work on. Yeah,
Valtteri BOTTAS: it's neutral there.
Engineer: Affirm.
Engineer: Hello Carlos, keep scenario 5, keep scenario 5, more data for Renault.
Engineer: All the cars behind you on an outlap.
Engineer: Leclerc behind, on a cool down lap I think, he might be pushing, Leclerc might be pushing, 3 seconds behind.
Alexander ALBON: You have to tell me earlier Mike so I can sync my gears down that straight.
Engineer: Yeah sorry mate, he might be on an in lap, he is going fast and slow. So all cars behind now on out laps.
Engineer: Suggest silver entry 6. Silver entry 6.
Engineer: So Carlos, time loss a bit in sector 1. That's both turns 1 and 2. Turn 1 braking, turn 2 exit compared to Lando. And then there's a little bit still in turn 11. Lando now just a partial lift, no brakes turn 11.
Engineer: That's a good step in turn 1 and turn 11
Daniel RICCIARDO: Okay, we exceeded track limits turn 4 that last lap Yep, yeah, I messed up. Yeah, pretty different Bit
Engineer: more
Daniel RICCIARDO: limited by Amnesty and then
Lando NORRIS: We're definitely boxing now aren't we, because of code 2.
Engineer: Yep that's correct we are boxing now, code 2 understood.
Lando NORRIS: spitting a little bit
Engineer: Wake up the brakes.
Alexander ALBON: Is the car okay? I'm getting like weird vibrations starting my laps.
Engineer: Copy, we're looking into it.
Engineer: How are the vibrations?
Alexander ALBON: Is it coming through the steering, the brakes? They're still there. It feels like front lift.
Pierre GASLY: Okay, low on power, low on power.
Engineer: and we have tailwind into turn one tailwind turn one
Max VERSTAPPEN: It's unbelievable, I can't get 8 gears synced.
Max VERSTAPPEN: Yeah, I'm understeering too much.
Engineer: That
