Every message, in the order it happened
Engineer: So keep us posted on track.
Liam LAWSON: Copy.
Engineer: Ok, tires and brakes are nicely coming up, everything looking good
Liam LAWSON: It's raining quite a lot right now.
Engineer: Copy that, copy that.
Max VERSTAPPEN: I don't know what happened there, certainly just lost a little grip.
Engineer: The main is picking up, so I recommend saving the inter for later in the session.
Engineer: So we switch to go out, and Norris on Inter went off at turn 12. I think that's just him, because it's Inter's. Okay, copy. Let's try and push and see how it is.
Engineer: Cameraman, check if the...
Lando NORRIS: Repeat that?
Engineer: I didn't say anything, Lando.
Lando NORRIS: Oh, you did, I heard you.
Kevin MAGNUSSEN: Sorry, guys.
Engineer: So
Lando NORRIS: is the rain going to just get worse from now on?
Engineer: It should continue like this in the next few minutes and then potentially a small break. We think it's around 10-15 minutes of rain like this.
Engineer: So just getting reports of rain at the top end of the circuit, nothing down at the bottom end.
Lando NORRIS: Yeah, it's a lot more than level 2 here.
Engineer: Okay, if you are not happy with the inter then we can box.
Engineer: OK Lewis, we think this rain will intensify, there is a drier window coming later, so suggest we box into the slap.
Engineer: Ok, rain has reduced now and we expect another shower in 4 minutes.
Engineer: We are expecting a drier spell later in the session, so don't go too crazy on the tyres yet.
Charles LECLERC: and if we can quickly at the pitch top take off the pads that we added for fp3
Engineer: and target five target five so going for inters plus four clicks and and removing the pads
ZHOU Guanyu: I'm beached, guys. Joe, can you continue? No, I'm beached, beached. Sorry. Really wet there.
Engineer: And we keep working on those brakes. You've done a good job in the previous attempts. We keep working on those brakes in the outlock.
Carlos SAINZ: I had a look up.
Yuki TSUNODA: I think coalition is good for the Utah.
Engineer: So the car's on full wet, saying it's inters, so on the right tyre.
Engineer: Strat 7
Yuki TSUNODA: Rear tire feels much better. I think cooldown is rear tire and I feel much better grip
Engineer: Yeah, clear
Logan SARGEANT: Mate, I've... I've no grip.
Engineer: He's coming, he's coming, keep pushing.
Nico HULKENBERG: I don't know, either we're very overbalanced, or the rear is not in temp.
Engineer: It
Nico HULKENBERG: feels very forward.
Engineer: Okay, if you decide by the end of the lap you want to box, we can box and take a chunk of flap off.
Engineer: Main losses are minimum speed turn two and three.
Alexander ALBON: Yeah, but come on guys, do you not see these massive snouts?
Engineer: Yeah, understood.
Engineer: You can use right toggle to stabilize corners too until the temps come up.
Nico HULKENBERG: Yeah, Toko's not gonna cut it, man. He's like, don't know, the view's just not there at all.
Engineer: Yeah, we still need, like, 5 to 10 more degrees before we're really in the window, so let's see what happens when we get there.
Engineer: all right we got double yellow turn 13 14 double yellow turn 13 14 very likely red flag
Engineer: Red flag red flag box if you can red flag box if you can So Delta positive got to be out three Delta positive and box
Engineer: Red flag slow down Keep your Delta positive Lawson is I think spun on the exit of 13 So he's on the inside and the entry to 14 Lawson's on the inside the track stopped
Engineer: There's five time lapse to go to the end of the session.
Engineer: I'll keep you posted on temps, so you know when they come in.
Engineer: Yuki, the plan is to run until the flag is going to be around 6-7 laps. And we do a build lap, Yuki. Build lap, tires are cold.
Engineer: We should get four or five times so for the temps will come up in the next two
Engineer: We can go mode one, should be time for fast, slow, fast, slow, fast if we want it.
Engineer: Okay, let's go recharge on. We'll charge up the battery a little bit, cool the tyres down a little bit.
Engineer: So Oscar, you'll have time for two laps. You can use Strat 2 for maximum deployment on the first, or Strat 5 to spread the deployment between them. Eight seconds gap behind to Perez, time to find turn 9 and 10.
Charles LECLERC: First corner is so bad
Engineer: Radio check, can you hear me?
Fernando ALONSO: Yeah, okay
Engineer: Yeah, okay. We've had a problem here. That was the check flag. So we're gonna go around and do the stuff
Charles LECLERC: First corner is so bad
Engineer: Copy
Engineer: We go to the grid. We go to the grid. You can choose the side as far forward as you can. You can choose the side as far forward as you can on the grid. First gear, click-over take, for tire warming.
