Every message, in the order it happened
Pierre GASLY: Just for Crowley, I feel it's really on the edge to sink the gears. I don't know if we can have a bit more.
Engineer: Yeah, we'll have a look, but that was everything.
Esteban OCON: And I have the tape which is coming loose on the back now, on the side pod.
Engineer: Okay,
Sebastian VETTEL: check drivability, high speed, picking up power, see if there's
Engineer: a
Sebastian VETTEL: filter when going back on power.
Engineer: Copy that, understood.
Nicholas LATIFI: The Mercedes blocked me.
Engineer: I don't know what he was doing in turn 4. Yeah, I saw him in turn 4. That was a good lap otherwise.
Sergio PEREZ: How's the balance? A lot of... Yeah, a lot of underestimate.
Engineer: A box check-out box for a flap adjuster.
Engineer: You want to open another lap and see how it goes?
Carlos SAINZ: Yeah, why not? I know we are far, but I feel like it's a bit detaillier, but more or less will not hurt.
Engineer: Understood.
Engineer: How is the balance?
Max VERSTAPPEN: Well, first time lap and still struggling with the same things.
Engineer: OK, understood.
Engineer: And how was the balance?
Fernando ALONSO: A bit more understeer, especially last corner. 10.5
Engineer: So
Fernando ALONSO: maybe positive change.
Engineer: If you were happy with that lap, we would consider going off the highfield.
Sebastian VETTEL: Yeah, let's do that. It would just be for the last two corners, but it's not going to change the world. Copy that.
Antonio GIOVINAZZI: It's okay with something on the rear, the rear is really loose with these last two laps.
Engineer: Copy Antonio, we're checking.
Engineer: MAZ, MAZ we may have a right rear puncture, we think we have a right rear puncture, do you feel something strange?
Nikita MAZEPIN: Standby Yeah I confirm it's a puncture, box
Engineer: box Copy that
Max VERSTAPPEN: Unboxing mate, so understeery, it's incredible!
Engineer: Understood.
Sergio PEREZ: Try a bit of understeer. Into the medium speed, actually.
Engineer: Do you want to flap adjust? No.
Sergio PEREZ: We try like that. Yeah, copy.
Sergio PEREZ: There is quite a bit of vibration on these tires.
Engineer: Copy.
Engineer: one more push question maybe
Antonio GIOVINAZZI: we can try with the ball but the rear is gone already but the front is not either better so
Nikita MAZEPIN: And there's serious bad old streets.
Max VERSTAPPEN: Someone is pressing the radio button, I can hear it. I still hear like somebody is pressing the radio button but not talking.
Engineer: Okay understood, we'll have a look into it.
Engineer: And Aston Martin, very big Deg since they were too fast to start. Very big Deg.
Max VERSTAPPEN: All the time I try to turn in, I'm losing the rear. I don't know what this is.
Engineer: OK, you can come in for a front wing adjustment. Please let me know if you'd like a front wing adjustment. Yeah, I'm boxing. You've got a better line-off. Yeah,
Max VERSTAPPEN: it feels completely broken, so 1.5 degrees.
Engineer: And Lewis, once again, no need to manage to attempts.
Lewis HAMILTON: Driving to the grip, man.
Lewis HAMILTON: Rear end just gave up, left rear.
Engineer: OK copy, pressure should look OK.
Engineer: It's all under control, Yuki. All good.
Audio only, no transcript available for this message.
Engineer: It's all under control, Yuki. All good.
Engineer: And we have one time-lapse, one time-lapse.
Charles LECLERC: Okay, I don't really understand why it's only one time-lapse, but anyway.
Nikita MAZEPIN: Just so you know my feet are massively burning, especially on the left side, so Let's have a look at what we can do because the race otherwise will be a disaster.
Engineer: Copy, understood.
Engineer: All right, good job solid session we've got some comments when you're back in the garage
