Every message, in the order it happened
Engineer: All right, so most of the cars are following you out now. Giovinazzi is the car behind, Raikkonen behind him.
Nikita MAZEPIN: I need less engine I need more engine brake
Engineer: and it's definitely windier now turn three entry 30k tailwind
Engineer: Both cars having similar problems in the final final two corners. It seems like those corners are much more affected by the wind now
Max VERSTAPPEN: The f***ing EBW failed, what the hell, I had no brake pedal, like
Engineer: a super long one, fail one, fail please Max, fail one, fail.
Lance STROLL: The brakes were not working on that last lap with the three, they're cold. Copy
Engineer: that Lance.
Pierre GASLY: I'm still lacking rear grip in the low speed. Yeah,
Engineer: very clear.
Sergio PEREZ: What is the base? So,
Engineer: you're P4 at the moment.
Engineer: Daniel lap time wise is within 20 milliseconds of Lando compared to him the time to find would be a little bit on exit of turn five and through turn seven so turn five slightly better exit and turn seven a bit more pace through turn seven that he's able to carry into eight
Engineer: I
Antonio GIOVINAZZI: don't know what Stolle is doing.
Fernando ALONSO: Yeah, I don't know what this troll was doing on the last corner. I just start to close to him
Nicholas LATIFI: OK, I'm in the gravel, but I can bring it back on track, it's fine.
Engineer: Yeah, could be perfect when you return.
Engineer: and for info we also lost that last lap at turn one on track limits yeah i
Nikita MAZEPIN: tried it so cool and it didn't work i know but i'm yeah the car is very unstable so i'm just keeping it on track
Engineer: okay mate we'll look at it don't worry about the pace it will come to us don't worry man
Nikita MAZEPIN: i'm chilled at this point already
Engineer: Ok Pierre, so that's currently P11, same lap time as Pérez
Pierre GASLY: Yeah I know, it was a ****ing lap, like we've got some work so... Yeah I know, we have a lot of work
Engineer: So Lewis 23.8, remember the first four laps are critical.
Mick SCHUMACHER: Something weird just happened.
Engineer: Okay. With what? Which system? The car or the balance or...? Engine, engine. Power out of control. Okay, let's go slow Mick, slow the car.
Engineer: Ah man,
Lewis HAMILTON: this is getting a bit... these tyres aren't good.
Engineer: OK, copy Lewis, won't be long.
Engineer: How is the front wing? How is the front wing? I'd still say on the high side.
Pierre GASLY: He's using DRS everywhere, for f***
Engineer: 's sake!
Carlos SAINZ: And peat board check. CMC on peat board again.
Engineer: Copy.
Carlos SAINZ: Hey Roberto, stop the coffee.
Engineer: So Hamilton's lap times were high 123s, Max's typically a low 123.
Max VERSTAPPEN: Felt like when I pulled the clutch fully the car was moving forward, I had to use the brake.
Engineer: Copy that, thank you.
