Every message, in the order it happened
Engineer: how are the conditions yeah
Lando NORRIS: they're okay definitely it's just pretty slippery
Engineer: So expecting heavier rain in five minutes
Fernando ALONSO: What's the latest forecast expecting

Oscar PIASTRI: The last sector is just too wet for slicks.
Liam LAWSON: Who the hell is that stop out?
Engineer: Who
Liam LAWSON: the hell is that? Whoever this house was next to me. Oh, dude. He just drove straight to the side of me
Engineer: I
Esteban OCON: think the whole track is good for slicks, apart from the last two corners.
Engineer: Sorry, unexpected in 10 laps.
Engineer: Okay, are you okay?
Gabriel BORTOLETO: Yeah, sorry, it's
Engineer: okay. No worries. I was ready to kill them

Charles LECLERC: There's water that came into my visor. I couldn't see anything. Like a huge splash of water.
Fernando ALONSO: And all the people that we lost places, they have worse tyre or we just lose places for fun?
Engineer: So Ocon in P17 is the only one on significantly... in P7 is the only one on significantly older tyre.
Fernando ALONSO: Crazy how you never get it right with me.
Isack HADJAR: Yeah, I didn't see him. I mean, he appeared out of nowhere, man. Oh, my God.
Oscar PIASTRI: Yeah, this puddle in turn 2 is a problem, Bernd has got his work cut out for him even in the safety car, so it's not very nice in an F1 car.
Engineer: Yeah, I've got that.
Engineer: Yeah, that was clever from Mercedes hot tires now to
Esteban OCON: restart. Yeah copy
Max VERSTAPPEN: Oh, mate. This is so many against those down.
Lewis HAMILTON: This car is so hot to drive me. It's snappy like crazy.
Engineer: Oscar has a 10-second penalty. That means we will not follow him into the pit stop.
Engineer: Oscar, the safety car restart. We've been given a 10-second penalty for the braking on the straight before the safety car restart. You have a 17-second gap to stroll. Head down. We want to try and pull as much of a gap as we can.
Max VERSTAPPEN: I can't even stay without it, it's so slow!
Engineer: Track is starting to dry now temps are coming up on the track
Oscar PIASTRI: It's drying but very slowly, still not close to slicks.
Audio only, no transcript available for this message.
Engineer: And track conditions update when event
Lewis HAMILTON: Yeah Facts very decent. It's time to drive it.
Engineer: There
Lewis HAMILTON: will be a crossover Thanks
George RUSSELL: Depends how brave we want to be. We're only in P7.
Engineer: Brave, but not suicidal. We're still looking.
Carlos SAINZ: There was an accident, he went on the curb and he crashed into me. That was completely reckless for the clerk.
George RUSSELL: It's much better than before.
Engineer: We need to keep Lando out of DRS. If he gets in DRS with our penalty, it will be do not make it too difficult.
Engineer: Lando, Oscar will pit this lap. We will go past once.
Max VERSTAPPEN: My disguise is uncomfortable.
Oscar PIASTRI: I don't think the penalty before was very fair, I mean I know it's a big question but if you don't think it was fair either I think we should swap back and race.
Engineer: and then the gap to oscar's 4.8 he had an off just be careful out there
Lando NORRIS: well tell me where don't just say that
Engineer: Oscar, we're not going to do any team orders. It's just five laps to the end.
Lando NORRIS: That's it mate, you've won the British Grand Prix. Well
