Every message, in the order it happened

1. Logan SARGEANTWilliams16:00:45

   Engineer: Ok Logan, at the moment only one other car is on track, the track is clean, so focus on warm up now.

2. Daniel RICCIARDORB16:01:23

   Engineer: Synchronize all the gears and you know the target brakes and tires.

3. ZHOU GuanyuKick Sauber16:02:10

   Engineer: All okay on traffic and the mode push, mode push.

4. ZHOU GuanyuKick Sauber16:04:12

   ZHOU Guanyu: Car moving up in sector 1, the rest is ok.

   Engineer: Copy that.

5. Logan SARGEANTWilliams16:04:42

   Engineer: Ok, main loss is a min 5, front flap adjust. Copy.

6. Logan SARGEANTWilliams16:05:00

   Engineer: Okay, Logan. Feedback on tires, please.

   Logan SARGEANT: Quite good. I felt like I was losing the rear last sector though, but opened well.

   Engineer: Copy.

7. Daniel RICCIARDORB16:06:31

   Engineer: So Daniel, only losses to Yuki are entry turn 4, we lose around half a tenth, Yuki is carrying a bit more speed in entry and breaking minimum speed turn 14, where we also lose half a tenth, you are lifting a little bit more. I see turn 10 and turn 12 stability is still on the lower side. I would suggest to go one click forward on the offset before turn 10.

8. Carlos SAINZFerrari16:07:56

   Engineer: wind similar to fp3

9. George RUSSELLMercedes16:11:14

   George RUSSELL: Don't think I would improve on the same set of tyres. Copy that, Simon, at 3. I'd be happy to save this set for Q2.

10. Lance STROLLAston Martin16:11:20

    Lance STROLL: It's only impeded by the Williams. Yeah, it's alright, it's alright, I'll have a look.

11. Yuki TSUNODARB16:12:56

    Yuki TSUNODA: Well, I don't know what we're missing I thought that was good lap

    Engineer: Yeah We show you the compare in the garage All the think on flap.

    Yuki TSUNODA: I will say similar. Yeah, I was pretty happy with this balance understood and I think maybe we should open one step of the diff straight

    Engineer: Okay,

    Yuki TSUNODA: after 10-3

12. Pierre GASLYAlpine16:13:30

    Engineer: And how's the balance so far?

    Pierre GASLY: Balance is good, it's improved compared to P3.

    Engineer: OK. And tyre readiness, any comments?

    Pierre GASLY: That was good, but I lost sector as well.

    Engineer: OK, copy.

13. Alexander ALBONWilliams16:16:11

    Engineer: I

    Alexander ALBON: was sliding too much in sector 1, I don't know the size one there compared to the previous one.

    Engineer: Yeah we can see that the snap in turn one too. Okay so at the moment p12 but obviously yeah okay

    Alexander ALBON: well then we need to do the tracking as well.

14. Yuki TSUNODARB16:19:28

    Yuki TSUNODA: That was

    Engineer: a

    Yuki TSUNODA: good lap.

    Engineer: Yeah, it was ok. Unfortunately, it was not enough. But yeah, this is what we had.

    Engineer: Yeah, good job. Keep pushing tomorrow. Exactly, never give up.

17. Alexander ALBONWilliams16:21:16

    Engineer: OK, so at the moment, P12, but obviously, yeah, OK, well, let's do the tracking as well. I

    Alexander ALBON: think we should have held off on that sickle first one. Afterwards.

18. Lance STROLLAston Martin16:26:54

    Engineer: So still no cars left the pit lane, it's just yourself on track.

19. Sergio PEREZRed Bull16:29:02

    Engineer: Make sure you've got that gap between pit exit and SC2.

20. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes16:30:15

    Engineer: need to

    Lewis HAMILTON: watch this queue next time as it's down here waiting.

    Engineer: Yeah copy Lewis, yeah that front right probably wants a little bit more work so just left hand let's just get that front right.

21. Pierre GASLYAlpine16:33:30

    Engineer: Yeah, that was a good lap. Three seconds to Norris, so let's watch out for Norris, 1.5.

    Pierre GASLY: Yeah, let's just check the floor, left side, when I come back, last corner, I run a bit on the left.

    Engineer: Okay, we'll have a look. It'll be fine.

22. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes16:34:18

    Lewis HAMILTON: Yes sir, I was back.

    Engineer: Okay, copy.

23. Carlos SAINZFerrari16:34:45

    Carlos SAINZ: Ok, let's take the 0.1 up now, it's a bit more stable, I think we are through.

    Engineer: Copy, we are through.

24. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren16:37:48

    Engineer: Really time to find is in sector 3. I think you know where that's going to come from and just be mindful of cars on Outlaps where we can get the tow

25. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin16:38:39

    Engineer: So first car pushing is Hamilton, 17 seconds back. And then Bottas is seven behind him.

    Fernando ALONSO: With Joe about... Okay, you tell me. I will, yeah. Which car you will grab.

    Engineer: And then behind Bottas is Joe, only four behind him. So I think behind Joe is going to be our gap.

26. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren16:39:34

    Engineer: And Oscar, a reminder the Delta still needs to be close to zero. Opening the lap, obviously you have let Karls through. Maximum plus 20 for the flag.

27. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin16:40:51

    Engineer: P11, P11 sorry, very tight margins couple of hundredths ahead

28. Nico HULKENBERGHaas16:43:12

33. Esteban OCONAlpine16:53:54

    Engineer: How's the balance on that U-set?

    Esteban OCON: Yeah, struggling a little bit more

    Engineer: With

    Esteban OCON: the grip in lower speed

    Engineer: Is that from the rear?

    Esteban OCON: No, yeah, no more, no, no more on the STI, it's similar in terms of balance, so That tells us that that's the way to go probably

    Engineer: Yeah, I understood

34. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull16:54:27

    Engineer: We

    Max VERSTAPPEN: can talk about it. The cars. So many cars.

    George RUSSELL: How low to keep the pace up?

    Engineer: Yeah, I've been asking for that

38. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren17:00:15
