Every message, in the order it happened
Engineer: And new brakes reminded, new front brakes.
Engineer: Still no DRS for the flow viz, no DRS, if we can take also no DRS out of 15 that's better for our test
Engineer: And there's five cars still to grow, but they're relatively bunched up around turn 14 and 15.
Max VERSTAPPEN: uh my radio button gets stuck okay
Engineer: copy that
Engineer: Okay, so mode push and just wait for my call. You've got no problem behind you. Wait for a call. Wait, wait, wait.
Engineer: Yes so white modifier fine for us at the moment and that bump on our side looked better with the line you were taking so as best you can with that please.
Yuki TSUNODA: I think I'll go for the straight push.
Max VERSTAPPEN: I have grip and low speed.
Engineer: Just
Max VERSTAPPEN: run them over here.
Engineer: And if you can avoid the bump before braking in 16 I don't see it Tell
Charles LECLERC: me more about it then try
Engineer: and stay half a car on the right half a car to the right before you reach the braking
Charles LECLERC: Okay, I'll try
Engineer: So it looks like we're struggling with traction, turn 7, 8, 9, 13. Yeah, I've got no rear end.
Max VERSTAPPEN: Ah, went off.
Engineer: Okay.
Engineer: That's just feeding back its exits turn three and turn five just looking across cars. You've got Fernando pushing in six
Yuki TSUNODA: I think, Alex, it's good for the going off the backwards before turn 10-10, I guess. But I think we have to go back before the turn 13.
George RUSSELL: Can you check three-wheeling please? I don't think I have any. If not, I'll be happy to move Megbel forward.
Engineer: And our suggestion is to keep engine braking for all the lap.
Engineer: And I will do another constant speed, engine 10, 4th gear, engine 10, 4th gear
Engineer: How was that last lap?
Sergio PEREZ: All over the place!
Engineer: Ok to box, try to come in quick if you can, no tire damage.
Engineer: Just for your info, the car was over the balance a bit to start the run. Yeah, we saw that. Copy.
Engineer: just confirmation magic was working yeah
George RUSSELL: but it seemed like he was doing a lot
Lewis HAMILTON: Massive undersea still.
Engineer: Okay, copy.
George RUSSELL: I have limp home
Sergio PEREZ: Strut it, strut it!
George RUSSELL: A bit hectic.
Engineer: Yeah, not the best prep
Oscar PIASTRI: I think we need to add a little bit more back in.
Yuki TSUNODA: If balance was okay, I would say if I have one more run in the same condition, I would like to have a dream scenario, half a step or one step bit more rotation.
Engineer: So we need a plus three on the dash, plus three on the dash. Where you are is good.
Charles LECLERC: I touch the wall, exit of turn 14, not a big touch, but a slight one, please check data
Engineer: Copy
Charles LECLERC: Send me in an area of the track where there's no traffic or little.
Engineer: I think we are in sync with most cars, you'll have some out of sync.
Carlos SAINZ: You know where I scrapped it up.
Engineer: Copy that.
Engineer: We need to work on the front left and a bit on the brakes. And good job on the delta.
Yuki TSUNODA: Is that sarcastic?
Engineer: No, no. You are good. You are good, man.
Engineer: And the snaps occurring when you're trailing the brakes, focus on brake release, let the wheel come by, one second.
Engineer: Peculis, that's P11
Lewis HAMILTON: Yeah, it's unbelievable mate
Engineer: That'll be strat six.
Engineer: Some light going to pit entry for Thames.
Pierre GASLY: Was it Perez? I
Engineer: think it was Perez.
Pierre GASLY: I remember him.
Lando NORRIS: I hit the wall pretty hard.
Engineer: and now we're just going to box this lap please we're going to stop on the marks do a damage check
Lando NORRIS: Yeah,
Engineer: we don't see anything in the data, we just got a visual check.
Pierre GASLY: We'll
Engineer: get back to you shortly
Engineer: And just a reminder George to keep on top of that traction just flash the rears a bit there 13
Esteban OCON: Have a look, but I think that's worse for
Engineer: the filtering. OK, mate, understood. We'll look.
Carlos SAINZ: There's something with the brakes that is strange still. I keep looking at the front right.
Engineer: Understood.
Engineer: If
ZHOU Guanyu: there's any switch you guys want me to do it in? Mid, plus one.
Engineer: But from our side energies from what we're looking at aren't outrageous, so we're happy to carry on like this and see what we learn
Engineer: And Landon Minor, white, H8, position 6, please. White, H8, position 6.
Nico HULKENBERG: Understood. This is the lab now with less lifting coast. Understood.
Engineer: But let's keep looking after those rear tires. You're doing a very good job.
Sergio PEREZ: He's braking more than some right every corner is different have a look
Engineer: We need 50 metres more management, 50 metres more management, turn 7, turn 14.
Engineer: And mode X and engine 1, mode X and engine 1, 3 more laps.
Engineer: If you are still doing any management at all, please stop doing management, but I suspect you're flat out now.
Engineer: Oh, that's not good. You can be good again.
Engineer: And spark four, spark four, and special two pull up for these corners.
George RUSSELL: I'm going to walk. Snap to the front right.
Engineer: Affirm.
Engineer: Front wing isn't under the car, right? No, it's gone. It's in the barrier. He left it there.
Engineer: I'll make a nose change and switch off.
Engineer: Niko, check oil pump button, check the oil pump button, switch it off if it's on.
Engineer: Niko, check oil pump button, check the oil pump button, switch it off if it's on and then we're coming around for the start.
Nico HULKENBERG: Dude, oil pump, there is no on or off. Just press it or don't press it.
Engineer: I
Nico HULKENBERG: don't have it in the display. Okay, just press it again.
Engineer: I didn't press it yet, you didn't ask me to. It's okay. Sorry, mode slow. Two burnouts, right hand side please.
