Lando NORRIS: All okay, bit of a brake split I think Just brake performance also doesn't feel great with where I am
Kevin MAGNUSSEN: It's already quite a mystery
Engineer: and drink system test and we can do also MoTS test
Yuki TSUNODA: Maybe I feel like it understood high speed and Yeah, it's a bit slow speed, but slow speed is not a big deal.
Engineer: I
Yuki TSUNODA: think we get closer to it and Yeah, high speed we can maybe add a rotation a little bit
Sergio PEREZ: I think just to tell the representative at the moment, but he's getting there.
Lando NORRIS: Just for a note, there's a lot of dirt and dust inside the first layer of my screen on my dash. It's okay, but just for next time it would be better if it
Engineer: was cleaner.
Lando NORRIS: Also just some nervousness entry to turn 4, just with the issues we've had the last couple of days. Yeah, but then a bit more of an understeer through 5, kind of into 6.
George RUSSELL: Got a bit of a vibration while braking.
Engineer: Number 59 laps. It's going to be a tough race, but we know we can race all the cars around us.
Esteban OCON: Yeah, I just said the bottom of the seeds very hot
Nico HULKENBERG: There is some s***
Engineer: in this mirror lens. It's not clean. It's patchy.
Engineer: Looks like the wind picked up slightly, just to verify.
Lewis HAMILTON: Let me just clean my mirrors, please. Mirrors are dirty.
Engineer: Nico, can you go multifunction A, grip 10, grip 10, please?
Engineer: MLTB green FC position 9
Max VERSTAPPEN: Um, certainly a little bit on the strip, got a more open-device piece.
Engineer: Minor, purple C71, purple C71.
Pierre GASLY: Good recovery
Esteban OCON: But I just have no base in this right line the whole time I'm getting destroyed everywhere
Engineer: We have another step available.
Max VERSTAPPEN: Uh, yeah, let's leave it for now. Let's see you later.
Engineer: Watch out to your front in 16.
Lando NORRIS: Yep, pace 2 Tire is okay
Carlos SAINZ: What the f*** was that?
Engineer: I saw it.
Carlos SAINZ: It's a big penalty. Italy took us home.
Engineer: Understood. We're reporting.
Engineer: We see the rear tires starting to get quite hot. A bit more management on the rear.
Engineer: Yeah,
Carlos SAINZ: I feel like I have space here.
Engineer: Copy that, understood.
Engineer: You're strong in the low speed 11 to 16 and 17
Lewis HAMILTON: We just had a big crash there.
Engineer: Yeah, copy. We saw that.
Max VERSTAPPEN: It's quite tricky also with the wind in 7-8, quite inconsistent.
Engineer: It's
Yuki TSUNODA: quite low grip.
Engineer: and switch position yellow switch position yellow
Engineer: Suggest red A4, red A4.
Yuki TSUNODA: But at the same time, I feel like I'm managing well.
Engineer: Currently thinking plan B plus five. Let me know what you think of that.
Engineer: And at the moment we are going plan B for Bravo. B for Bravo.
Nico HULKENBERG: Some awareness when we're racing would be good.
Engineer: I look like 0.9 turn 11 12 was stronger gust of tailwind same snap on the other car
Engineer: Okay mate, so we're happy to be status zero from this point.
Esteban OCON: That was already.
Engineer: Yeah, I understood, just making sure we're all aligned.
Engineer: For the tip-in locking, it's display 5, position 6.
Engineer: So let's get head down and crack on with it now
Engineer: Okay, so if you start to reduce the level of management a little bit from here
Carlos SAINZ: Are we gonna try something in front, or...? We
Engineer: are looking into it.
Fernando ALONSO: Well, but the sensor default to something
Engineer: and box opposite McLaren box opposite McLaren
ZHOU Guanyu: All right, bye-bye. This is the Protector Place. I'll supply the rest of the side.
Engineer: That was a lot better, Fernando. So if you could just hold your foot on the brake pedal. Only there, isn't it?
Alexander ALBON: What's happening to the race? Just tell me. It's either ******
Engineer: or ******
George RUSSELL: There was more jacking in third gear than second.
Lance STROLL: That was
Engineer: the
Lance STROLL: best shot I could get right now.
George RUSSELL: I don't know
Engineer: a
George RUSSELL: lot both actuals
Engineer: Good job there. We are closing on the lawn, so the moment just turned 8 is where we are missing.
Engineer: We are watching it. We are all within our limits at the moment. I know it's not pretty but stopping now is not worth doing
Engineer: Science is also starting to struggle. He's now nearly two seconds behind Leclerc.
Engineer: So Sainz is the car ahead. We should go after him rather than protect against Perez.
Lando NORRIS: Yeah, agreed. I'll go get him.
Logan SARGEANT: I can barely hear you, mate. Can you speak up?
Engineer: Though Perez hasn't managed to get past Ocon yet. Yeah,
Lando NORRIS: we're good. We're good. I'm killing.
George RUSSELL: It's time for a show.
Lewis HAMILTON: If you can't relocate, it's at 117.
Engineer: We've got a track surface slippery warning back straight that could be debris.
Max VERSTAPPEN: I hit that cone. It's just the impact of my feet.
Engineer: Understood.
Engineer: Bernard, can I just check aerobalance? Aerobalance, it's difficult.
Engineer: Still showing track slippery turn 15 to halfway down the straight to 17
Engineer: The gap is 2.8 to him. Verstappen knocked the ball out off at turn 15.
Oscar PIASTRI: I think they need to remove it, it'll cause a lot of damage.
Engineer: The
George RUSSELL: car feels sky-high at the moment, but zero bottoming.
Engineer: people stopping I think we might have got screwed by this
Engineer: Car behind is Ocon on new hard and then Gasly and then Alonso new medium
Engineer: seven struts seven
Engineer: St Louis race picture actually doesn't look like it's changed too much just Alonso is now come into the picture
Engineer: So this cost a bit compared to Piastri, we need to push a bit more for these slabs Yeah,
Charles LECLERC: copy that
Engineer: We need to keep him that far behind and then we'll keep extending.
Lance STROLL: There was nothing a problem
Lewis HAMILTON: I still feel good.
Lando NORRIS: Speak up.
Engineer: Opportunity, some pace, turn 14, turn 15. Sainz did a 32.6 last time round. This is really strong pace.
Sergio PEREZ: I'm not braking.
Engineer: I
Sergio PEREZ: cannot brake into 15, 16.
Lewis HAMILTON: It's impossible to see the co-op now, the chicane.
Carlos SAINZ: Don't leave it too close, but not too close. Copy.
Lance STROLL: I'm just going to go through the elevator, please. Certainly, I pray for you. Sorry.
Lando NORRIS: Yeah, all good pace is strong It's just Pace is good. So let's keep this up it Let's get the power
Max VERSTAPPEN: I just really don't grip I looked up there again on
Engineer: the set
Lewis HAMILTON: What position are we in? Have you lost my name?
Engineer: It's only one position, so P8.
Pierre GASLY: Yep,
Engineer: we're letting everything settle. So let's get the cooker knob back to tire
Engineer: Sainz behind you also on hard, same age as yours. Perez behind him is on medium.
Engineer: So obviously Lando on a fresh hard tyre, Piastro and Sainz didn't put a time lap on their hard and Checo pitted for a scrub medium as well.
Yuki TSUNODA: Wait, don't, please don't stress or whatever.
Engineer: A safety car has left the leader remember mode RS for the restart Mode RS Norris is going slow into 17
George RUSSELL: Got absolutely no grip on the freestyle.
Engineer: So it's Perez ahead 1.5, rest ahead of him on the hard tyre.
Engineer: Clear yeah, we are on it. We are on it
Max VERSTAPPEN: No rotation there at 7.8
Carlos SAINZ: Can you tell him to give me a position? He doesn't get a penalty.
Carlos SAINZ: You just tell him to give me a position and he doesn't get a penalty.
Engineer: Make absolutely no to 1.7 behind think that's Jackson
Engineer: Understood, we have a walk-in aid, check-off 1.0 Check-off 1.0, bien Understood
Carlos SAINZ: Copy
Engineer: Oscar, a couple of laps ago, turn 11, when Sainz went off track, it looked like you were ahead at the apex of the corner. Ferrari think you should give the position up, but we do not.
Engineer: No further investigation, no further investigation. Toggle 27. Yeah.
Engineer: Stay focused, 20 laps to go.
Carlos SAINZ: Yeah, leave me alone Ricky, leave me alone.
Max VERSTAPPEN: I can't get the car to turn. It's a disaster.

ZHOU Guanyu: Yeah,
Engineer: we saw it. Joey report. Keep pressure on him.
ZHOU Guanyu: My tire is not in a good state, but it's
Engineer: going to be fine.
Engineer: Oscar we see front wing damage. We see front wing damage, so we think we should box and replace the front wing
Sergio PEREZ: I cannot put the power down in the final corner.
Engineer: So we've replaced the front wing, we removed some debris from the rear wing, let's see if the vibration's cleared up.
Carlos SAINZ: Something is wrong with the car. Check that out for me.
Engineer: Okay, understood.
Oscar PIASTRI: Yeah, the vibration's gone now.
George RUSSELL: I'm just slaving all over the show.
Engineer: I
George RUSSELL: don't have any group.
Lewis HAMILTON: Go ahead, Paul. Give it to me.
Engineer: If you've got capacity Lewis then strat 8 and use overtake
Engineer: Sure, you know be careful turn six entry
Pierre GASLY: Open it, open it, loud slurs as you're on the tire.
Engineer: So he's his tires are 10 laps newer than ours
Engineer: So we need to work with track limits at turn five. We've got two strikes, track limits turn five. You're too tight.
Engineer: We don't want to take any risks with contact on these cars that you're going to have to drive through.
Engineer: Lando for turn 7 consider left hand paddle as well if it will help.

Engineer: You're doing a brilliant job. Five laps to go.
Engineer: Other guys in front are struggling. We can take advantage.
Engineer: And Lando, just to confirm, all safety car windows are closed. Oh, okay.
George RUSSELL: I have nothing at all in low speed. No
Engineer: grip.
Engineer: Let's try sliding these tyres more, last two laps, see if that gives us anything extra. What do you think I'll be doing for 55 laps?
Engineer: I have a 5 second penalty or what? Not yet, just increase, just go fast and straight till the end. Ok, ok, ok.
Charles LECLERC: A shame. We're unlucky with the virtual and after the safety castle. I think we did a good job anyway.

Engineer: very well done
Audio only, no transcript available for this message.
Charles LECLERC: Congrats to Lando for his first win.
Engineer: Check the flag, Yasuyuki, mega, mega race, P7, brilliant.
Yuki TSUNODA: Haha, what a pace. What a pace, man. Very good job, teams. What a week, honestly. So much points. So much points.
Yuki TSUNODA: Honestly, people who pushed in the background were impressive. The car today was like flying. Incredible. I got help from this performance rather than myself. So apologies for the mistake at the beginning. But anyway, it was a good race.
Engineer: Okay, that's the checkered flag Yeah, not much to say we'll talk about it afterwards. Sorry a lot of stuff went on that
Nico HULKENBERG: Ah, shame boys, but a good effort, fun race, fun overtakes, thank you. Just need to work on the first half of the race with full tanks, we were not competitive at all.
Engineer: You did some nice overtakes. It was fun to watch for us too. Thank you.
Nico HULKENBERG: Thanks, Giza.
Engineer: Yeah, I mean the Williams, I don't want to say more.
ZHOU Guanyu: It's difficult to get past them, man.
ZHOU Guanyu: We can talk later, but yeah, I'm
Engineer: sure you see
Engineer: Difficult race Valtteri, we finished P16 with the penalty applied to Stroll, Joe is P14.
Engineer: Okay, that was a long stint on that hard, tough one. I think those safety cars might go our way.
Alexander ALBON: Yeah, I mean, honestly, it was annoying as the place wasn't even so bad, but we were just, we really got to work on whatever goes on Saturday, because it was horrible, but we'll talk about it later.
Engineer: Yeah, understood.
Engineer: Mate, frustrating after Noon for you, you drove better than that result, much better than that result. The positive is that the stuff that went wrong isn't on you. The other car won the race, drove away from Verstappen for the whole of the last stint, won by nearly eight seconds and you've got that in Imola.
Oscar PIASTRI: Yeah, well done on the win everyone. We really deserve that. So congratulations. Well done to Lando, first win. Very, very well done.
Engineer: Well done mate. B10, first point.
Esteban OCON: Yeah, sorry, I need to take my breath, but I know we should not be happy for P10, but Yeah, we fought that one Thank you. Yeah, first one of the year. Let's go get some more
Engineer: Absolutely
Pierre GASLY: Absolutely got it,
Engineer: absolutely got it. We can go scenario 12, sorry, scenario 12 and we need maximum fuel saving.
Engineer: Yep, got a mate. So that's P12 for us. Esteban got P10. Ahead of him was Alonso.
Engineer: I'm
Pierre GASLY: happy for the team, congrats for the first point, just absolutely got it with this Viotra safety car, absolutely got robbed.
Engineer: We were given a very dubious 10 second penalty there for the incident with Albon, so in the end you're actually p17, sorry about that mate.
Lance STROLL: Push the bell button and press me off the chat.
Engineer: Yeah, we're discussing it. We'll see what we can do, but that might not be right. But yeah, completely agree.
Lance STROLL: Yeah, I mean, the strategy was interesting. Okay.
Carlos SAINZ: Yeah, one more lap and we would have won it.
Engineer: Yeah, I was super unlucky.
Carlos SAINZ: Anyway, I think it was a strong race, it was just tough out here, but the pace of the car was good.
Carlos SAINZ: Yeah, I feel like we deserve more another good start, but then someone who was it better at the start. Yeah
