Every message, in the order it happened
Fernando ALONSO: So what was the plan for this first run?
Engineer: And Oskar, is the car all okay?
Oscar PIASTRI: Yep, all okay, just had a snap.
Logan SARGEANT: I can smell something burning on the first lap.
Engineer: Copy.
ZHOU Guanyu: The pedal felt quite different to last time.
Engineer: Brake warming up.
ZHOU Guanyu: Just let the guy double-check my paddle position. It seems like the brake and the throttle is the opposite direction compared to the test.
ZHOU Guanyu: Have a look at the panel man, it's quite a lot different to last week.
Engineer: Copy Joe, we will have a quick look.
Engineer: Joe on the pedal position. I don't think we can fix it now. Is it okay to survive fp1 question? Yeah, okay copy Then we will fix it for fp2
ZHOU Guanyu: Yeah
Engineer: Feedback from Carlo is that the brake balance is done in time? It's just that he drives the car, yeah.
Carlos SAINZ: Yeah, I have the box. The ride was quite poor there, guys. Something changed.
Charles LECLERC: Definitely something strange with the clutch, but just going out of the car, I don't think it's a problem. When I take it back, it seems to, I don't know, to remain, to not go fully back.
Logan SARGEANT: It still feels like there's a problem with the hold revs.
Engineer: Copy, we'll have a look.
Engineer: Brake temps are okay. We're checking the pedal. We can see the stiffness drop. We don't see any major issue. We're investigating
