Every message, in the order it happened
Engineer: VJ check.
Sergio PEREZ: So much traffic.
Engineer: As a car is looking good in data
Engineer: So the wind has picked up a little bit in the last minute or so 20 kph
Engineer: And Lance we can go to cool it can be relatively fast cooled So rear left is on the target now so we can keep them here keep them here relatively fast cool and we'll go again
Engineer: Happy to let the tyres cool a little bit, but not much.
Max VERSTAPPEN: My god Unbelievable
Engineer: So to Perez, it's 10th sector 1, 10th and a half in the middle.
Engineer: There's five cars to open laps in front
Engineer: Is the car possible to come back?
Oscar PIASTRI: No, no, sorry.
Engineer: I
Nico HULKENBERG: want to do a cool and normal lap.
Engineer: Okay, yeah, it's a yellow turn three, yellow turn two, three, double yellow two and three. There's two cars stopped in turn three. Watch for cars there. And it's a red flag, Nico. Be positive plus on delta time. Positive.
Daniel RICCIARDO: Yeah, sorry, I didn't see the McLaren.
Daniel RICCIARDO: Yeah, sorry, I didn't see the McLaren.
Engineer: It was right ahead of you.
Daniel RICCIARDO: Yeah, I was too late when
Engineer: I looked up. OK, are you able to bring it back?
Daniel RICCIARDO: No, no, I crashed.
Pierre GASLY: I like to do another lap with this tyre.
Engineer: Okay, you know your targets.
Engineer: Are you okay? You okay?
Daniel RICCIARDO: I also, uh, my hand. Okay.
Yuki TSUNODA: I have something, something wrong. Traffic.
Engineer: Ok, Juki, what's wrong? Something with the car or just traffic?
Yuki TSUNODA: I have massive slowdown from the ice. Accidentally touched the ship down.
Engineer: Ok.
Engineer: And on brake balance Lance if you think you can take it we'd like to do minus two minus two for the whole lap for the next push
Engineer: OK, so Pierre's first lap at 11.76, how was the balance this time? The
Esteban OCON: balance was OK.
Engineer: OK, very good.
Nico HULKENBERG: You sure most people do double back-off feels like to me to do one
Engineer: Okay, I don't know. I only know from the morning
Engineer: Would you like a front flap adjustment?
Max VERSTAPPEN: No, the car is just medium speed, weird things, I think with the brakes, I don't know, it's really weird.
Lewis HAMILTON: Tires are probably too hot
Engineer: Which do you think? Yeah, let's focus on the long run, I think that's a reasonable estimate OK
Engineer: And suggest to go rearwards of brake balance for turn two already. And sock two.
Valtteri BOTTAS: Copy.
Charles LECLERC: Yeah, that's a good lap for this box.
Engineer: So you have, for the moment, you have purple third sector.
Charles LECLERC: Okay, straight.
Engineer: Track is clear. Track is clear. You should get 15 time flaps.
Engineer: But it's just going straight into go one straight to go one and we'll start a run
Engineer: Okay, so next gap is behind me. So behind you've got Alonso five seconds. He's got Gasly right with him and then there's nine seconds back to Stroll. Okay, so everyone's on high fuel. So we're happy to drop back behind Alonso and Gasly if that helps.
George RUSSELL: This boat is both on top of each other here.
Engineer: Open a bit more the gap to the car in front please. Okay,
Charles LECLERC: you can push now.
Engineer: Sunoda 7 behind Try to manage the gap to the car in front Open a bit more the gap to the car in front please Sunoda 4 and a half behind
Charles LECLERC: Ok you can push now I am doing it
Pierre GASLY: Don't want to get overtaken
Engineer: Yeah, copy that mate Got a six and a half second gap behind if you want to drop back
Engineer: OK mate, for info, almost all other cars are on the medium or the soft tyre, high fuel.
Esteban OCON: OK copy, do you need me to know the times?
Engineer: Yeah copy that, so Norris and Pierre on the soft both lapping low 1 minute 16s.
Engineer: So Ocon's still doing, alright, 16.4s he's doing, and Lance on medium, he's just been making a gap.
Fernando ALONSO: Yeah, let me know if this gap you need more or less, so Lance and myself we have the same gap with the car in front.
Engineer: Yeah, copy that, so Lance has got 4.5, you've got 3.5, so you can make a half a second bigger gap would be good. It's pretty close. Copy,
Fernando ALONSO: maybe both we can make more or whatever, good info.
Engineer: Yeah, copy that.
George RUSSELL: Just check the rear left please
Engineer: Looks ok at the moment
George RUSSELL: Yeah, it's running a bit wide, can you go down and see?
Engineer: That was perfect, Kev, and we'd suggest trying EB1 to help the rears as well, to help stability.
Engineer: Can I check aerobalance? Check aerobalance at this time?
Fernando ALONSO: I need 0.4 more.
Engineer: Yeah, copy that, copy.
Engineer: After turn one, spark four and mode attack.
Engineer: I
Sergio PEREZ: love getting hot
Engineer: Please repeat please repeat
Sergio PEREZ: The front left getting hot and the rear left
Engineer: Yeah, copy
Engineer: Try to prepare a turn 10 less and a wider line in turn 10.
Max VERSTAPPEN: I have a car in front
Engineer: Fernando at 2.5, so don't ruin his run there's a train behind you
Engineer: Okay, last time lava.
Logan SARGEANT: 30 years, really bad.
Engineer: Okay.
Carlos SAINZ: I had a moment in the last corner.
Engineer: OK, and that is the check flag, recharge on and cool the car please.

Engineer: the
ZHOU Guanyu: grid, I don't know what's
