Franco COLAPINTO: Happy birthday, Ryan. I didn't know. Happy birthday. Is it today or one yesterday?
Carlos SAINZ: Sorry, stuck in first gear.
Carlos SAINZ: Something is stopping the car from moving forward. Car is stuck.
Engineer: Copy, I'm just checking what we can do.
Carlos SAINZ: I feel like the car is still braking.
Engineer: Game over. Carlos, top up.
Fernando ALONSO: And I cannot tell you, the temperature of the seat is maybe, I don't know, 200 degrees or something.
Engineer: Copy that.
Audio only, no transcript available for this message.
Max VERSTAPPEN: I'm out. I got hit like crazy. F***ing idiots.
Kimi ANTONELLI: Ah, sorry about that. Locked
Engineer: the
Kimi ANTONELLI: rear. Sorry.
George RUSSELL: Let's just close the door and break in.
Engineer: Your call on the racing situation.
Engineer: We need Laika, all corners, Charles. Every lap.
Charles LECLERC: That's what I am doing, Brian. That is what I am doing.
Engineer: Lando, opportunity, make turn six apex, it makes it harder for the other car.
Engineer: So the gap to Bortoletto is 20.3, so we're happy to pit. If we're going to get passed by Oscar, we would pit before him. If not, we just keep going.
Engineer: Let's see your pace in free air now.
Oscar PIASTRI: Yeah, okay, I have a flat spot, I have a flat spot.
Engineer: Understood, let's see how the pace is.
Engineer: Flat spot in data. Looks okay to continue. Let me know. Yes, not pleasant, but it's okay.
Engineer: Ask a question. Better to be four seconds behind Lando with more delta or one and a half behind?
Oscar PIASTRI: Four with delta.
Engineer: And they're doing a good job. Oscar's pace hasn't really picked up.
Gabriel BORTOLETO: Is he letting me buy or what?
Engineer: Yes, but you need to get into DRS.
Engineer: Oscar, feedback from the pit wall. The manoeuvre in turn four with the front block up was too marginal. We can't do that again.
Pierre GASLY: I have no grip, f***ing crazy. I'm about to spin every corner.
Engineer: Turkey, something's broken, it's crazy. I don't know how much longer I can stay on track. Yeah, understood, mate. We're working on it. OK, stick with it, please.
Engineer: Most of those blue flags are doing mid to high 110s, so there's opportunity approaching.
Esteban OCON: Hey, people are starting to pit. We're doing our race. Your pace is still good. Bear in mind, there's always a risk passing everyone, like you saw. Understood.
Engineer: Is he just quicker everywhere now? He's mainly quicker in high speed. Or to see with this loss of traffic.
Engineer: And our goal here is obvious, we just keep our scat out of our DRS.
Engineer: So, Lando, now that Oscar's got free air, his pace and high speed has recovered a bit. Obviously, as we get close to Hajar, it's going to get tough again.
Lando NORRIS: Still doing a good job.
Lewis HAMILTON: Is my pace really bad? Because the tyres are fine. And
Engineer: we box now for fastest race, optimal race.
Lewis HAMILTON: Yep, my tyres are okay, can I extend? How many more laps left?
Engineer: And box through the box, 20 laps.
Lewis HAMILTON: I don't want to stop! 20 laps left! Box!
Engineer: You'll get some clearer air. Let's use the place we should be in at the end of this lap.
Engineer: If
Lando NORRIS: I need some pace, please help.
Engineer: And the main pace of things right now is high speed. Hopefully linked just to traffic.
Engineer: Orlando, just for your awareness, we have a bit of damage on our front wing, which is making the balance change a bit. Nothing we can do, just for your awareness.
Engineer: And Lando, you need corner discipline. Turn one, turn three. Pacing high speed is good.
Lando NORRIS: Well done, mate. Well done.
Engineer: Great job.
Lando NORRIS: Yeah, well done, everyone. Beautiful one, too. That was great. Thanks, everyone. Amazing work. Let's keep it up.
Engineer: I agree, mate. Follow the process.
Oscar PIASTRI: Uh, yeah, sorry for the, uh, moving to the floor, my bad, uh...
Engineer: The first points of Formula One, mate. Congratulations. Well deserved.
Gabriel BORTOLETO: I'm sorry, man. I couldn't get him.
Engineer: It's okay. He will pay the dinner.
Gabriel BORTOLETO: Gabby, what can I say? An outstanding performance all weekend. First points. Well deserved. Amazing race. And we were in the hunt. We've got a racing car. Well done, mate. Thank you, mate. Thanks, everyone, for the weekend. And let's start from here. First points. Thanks, guys.
Nico HULKENBERG: Oh yeah boy! Yes, yes! Double points baby, double points! Let's go Sabre! Woo! There you go, it's Jonathan. It was great to see that look in your eye on the grid again today. Fantastic job, well done. Thanks Jonathan. I actually faked that look, but it's good to know it's working on you.
