Every message, in the order it happened

1. Lando NORRISMcLaren17:31:29

   Lando NORRIS: Something doesn't feel right. It's much harder to turn right than it is left. It's really easy to turn left and really hard to turn right.

   Engineer: Okay, understood.

2. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes17:32:50

   Engineer: Just confirming wind, looks like a tailwind 15 kph through the high speed S's.

3. Nico HULKENBERGHaas17:36:04

   Engineer: I

   Nico HULKENBERG: feel like the brakes don't work so well. All the big braking events, the retardation doesn't feel great or normal.

   Engineer: Okay understood Nico, we'll check the efficiency and the brake balance. You can go to spark 2.

4. Lando NORRISMcLaren17:47:56

   Engineer: Drive straight out. I mean, it feels the same to me. As in, the same as it was the last run, so not resolved. I need to go on track first, but it still feels super easy to turn left. In our data, the bit that we diagnosed, we see is improved. OK, I'll see you on track. Cool.

5. Lando NORRISMcLaren17:50:24

   Lando NORRIS: I mean, it still doesn't feel amazing. It still feels harder to turn right than it does left

   Engineer: For

   Lando NORRIS: the time being but I'll just continue and see if it changes at all

   Engineer: Okay

14. Pierre GASLYAlpine18:10:01

    Pierre GASLY: I have a lot of oscillation in sector 2, through 13, 14, 15, in 2nd gear and 3rd gear.

    Pierre GASLY: The rear was moving quite a lot through 6th, 7th, 8th,

    Engineer: I

23. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin18:24:16

    Engineer: The others have gone, so the gap to the Gasly is nine ahead. Are you good for the gap ahead? Will we go one? Good.
