Oscar PIASTRI: So, front deck is better than FP2, rear deck is worse.
Charles LECLERC: These tyres are not great.
Engineer: We're seeing higher deck than expected on medium as well with graining.
Engineer: Thoughts on size, please, Max? Not good.
Max VERSTAPPEN: It's very fragile.
Engineer: We are monitoring an issue similar to Barcelona with the PU not as bad
Engineer: Russell has pitted. So this is plan A. We need one of those amazing races from you here.
Alexander ALBON: I don't really know why you don't listen to me, but I'm really going to listen now.
Alexander ALBON: No, don't box now. Don't box now. Forget boxing now. We can't do all that and then box.
Engineer: Plan B. Plan B.

Engineer: Understood, we're looking at it. Throw
Pierre GASLY: me on the ground.
Engineer: Yeah, we see.
Engineer: Okay, Leclerc's pace is dropping off. This is a straight fight between you, Verstappen, and Antonelli.
Charles LECLERC: What are we waiting for to stop we
Engineer: don't want to do too many laps on the medium
Engineer: Sorry man, it's a hard day and this is the cherry on top, but we had to take care of this peel
Engineer: Lando, if there was a safe car, we would have a free stop. Would you take it for a soft? Yep. Cool.
Engineer: So let's attack Oscar while he doesn't have DRS.
Engineer: Are you all right, dude?
Lando NORRIS: Yeah, I'm sorry. All my bad. All my fault. Unlucky. Sorry. Stupid for me.
Max VERSTAPPEN: George suddenly just aggressively braked.
Engineer: That's it, thank you. And we'll check for any erratic driving.
George RUSSELL: The staff underserver took me under the safety car.
Engineer: Understood, we'll look.
Engineer: Yeah, that incident with Russell now being shown on the feeds, Max. That's pretty blatant. Just don't fall for the gamesmanship, OK? Thank you.
Engineer: Superb job, well done. That was brilliant, brilliant drive all weekend. Nice. Well
George RUSSELL: done team, that made up for last year. Well done team, well done. Congrats Kimi, congrats.
Engineer: George, well done. One and three. Good day, a good day.
George RUSSELL: Good day, good day, sir.
Engineer: Yeah, it's such a brilliant drive.
Engineer: Even after the light, there's no overtaking after the flag.
Gabriel BORTOLETO: Gasoline is overtaking everyone, if we cannot overtake...
Engineer: Well, that's what we are talking here. We are sure that we shouldn't be overtaking, all the drivers are not following the rules, so let's not break it.
