Every message, in the order it happened

1. Lando NORRISMcLaren10:09:19

   Engineer: And can we have brake warm-up, please, Landau?

2. Romain GROSJEANHaas10:14:35

   Romain GROSJEAN: OK, just a massive understand done too, but I guess it's going to get better.

3. Daniel RICCIARDORenault10:15:27

   Daniel RICCIARDO: Started off okay, then I was starting to lose the rear, lost it pretty bad last part of the lap.

4. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes10:17:39

   Engineer: Current 13, 14 were better than yesterday.

5. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes10:17:57

   Engineer: but the

   Valtteri BOTTAS: grip is really low.

6. Esteban OCONRenault10:21:41

   Engineer: Sorry I should have said but the wind direction is actually more similar to yesterday than we expected it's quite similar to yesterday at the moment

7. Romain GROSJEANHaas10:23:57

   Romain GROSJEAN: There's nothing I can do with that car boys, there's nothing I can do.

   Engineer: You saw the balance of the lap end dude.

   Romain GROSJEAN: Yeah but it's not the lap end, it's the turn one from last corner mate. I'm sorry I'm starting to be a little bit fed up but I'm f***ing

   Engineer: f***ed.

   Romain GROSJEAN: Once I got off the pace and being almost crashing every corner because there's no balance.

8. Carlos SAINZMcLaren10:28:24

   Engineer: Carlos turn 13 we think you're pushing the braking a bit too hard and rear locking is building through the stop which lands up with that snap

9. Esteban OCONRenault10:31:17

   Engineer: I

   Esteban OCON: think the car should be fine, but first we're checking, I went over the orange sausage

   Engineer: Yep, copy that

10. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo10:32:42

    Engineer: Box-Box, we'll do a start and we keep looking at these lights, should not influence the start.

    Kimi RAIKKONEN: Can I do something about it? Is it actually on or is it just a light?

    Engineer: Yeah, it's not very clear at the moment. If we are working on it, I'll let you know. Do you think you can do one more lap, in terms of tyre-wise? Yeah, but I need to know if it's on or off.

    Kimi RAIKKONEN: Is it just a light that is stuck on or... I need to know that. You should be able to see it pretty much easily. Sure, sure. I'll come back to you. Stand by.

11. Lance STROLLRacing Point10:36:18

    Lance STROLL: Quite dangerous, there was someone that walked in front of the pit box, the light was green.

12. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes10:43:32

    Engineer: So on the lap Valtteri's just completed, the main areas he found was turn 8 minimum speed, braking turn 13 and then also minimum speed turn 18.

13. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes10:47:42

    Valtteri BOTTAS: So which engine modes do we still have?

    Engineer: It'll be Strat 5, Strat 5

    Valtteri BOTTAS: There's no more Strat 3 in this run, or?

    Engineer: Negative, no more Strat 3

14. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes10:47:50

    Engineer: Just need a bit of PU load. Just repeat that again. So four hundredths down, sector one. That looks like the snap exit two. Then you were four tenths up in the middle sector, four tenths up in the final sector.

15. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes10:48:15

    Engineer: They just blocked me.

16. Sebastian VETTELFerrari10:49:03

    Engineer: The place to focus is Turn 10, but I think there was Bottas there, I believe. Please confirm. Well, it was quite clean. Maybe I was just a bit early. Anyway, focus on Turn 10. The rest is fine.

17. Romain GROSJEANHaas10:51:14

    Engineer: Brilliant lap mate, brilliant lap, great improvement and that was without the toe, we've got something here dude.

18. Sebastian VETTELFerrari10:51:53

    Sebastian VETTEL: Check the T-tray for

    Engineer: potential damage. Understood.

19. Alexander ALBONRed Bull10:52:02

    Engineer: OK, so your tyre temperatures are coming down nicely. They'll be good at the start of the lap.

20. Esteban OCONRenault10:56:05

    Engineer: Okay, and then it's Norris, three seconds behind, also time lap. Oh, he's just completed a time lap, and Gasly behind him has just completed a time lap, so all good now. Nice lap there, Esteban, 34.2, you're currently P4.

21. Alexander ALBONRed Bull10:59:02

    Engineer: Just for reference, the exit kerb at turn 2, I know we were a bit to the left of it there, we got that lap time deleted because of track limits there, we have discussed it with FIA, but just be aware of that lap, what you did there, they took the time away for the exit. Yeah, yeah, that's not an improvement. Yeah, I thought so too, understood.

22. Romain GROSJEANHaas10:59:41

    Romain GROSJEAN: I don't have words, as simple as that.

23. Sebastian VETTELFerrari11:01:58

    Engineer: Do you think about coming in?

    Sebastian VETTEL: Start button on to save mileage. Yeah, yeah, of course we're coming in. Copy. I wasn't even thinking of staying out.

    Engineer: Yeah, okay, box. But

    Sebastian VETTEL: saving mileage I don't think is the best argument.

    Engineer: Yeah, understood.

24. Alexander ALBONRed Bull11:02:22

    Engineer: Alright,

    Alexander ALBON: fix up vibrations.

    Engineer: Understood.

25. Daniil KVYATAlphaTauri11:02:35

    Daniil KVYAT: There is a huge bump on the entry to pit entry, like for Michael mainly. It was quite a surprised, very big one. Just check the car just in case please.

26. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull11:03:30

    Max VERSTAPPEN: Ah f**k, I'm an idiot. F**k. Yeah, I'm doing f**king brake balance.
