Every message, in the order it happened
Pierre GASLY: Don't break. Don't break.
Yuki TSUNODA: Is he idiot what he's doing
Max VERSTAPPEN: Wait, you would have taken my front wing off! It literally freezed! What is that? You would have crashed it! Mate, I had the right to be there. Do it again. Do it again, mate.
Engineer: Okay.
Engineer: Do
Fernando ALONSO: you think the car in front respected all the yellows?
Engineer: We are discussing. We had noticed that.
Engineer: And we see abrasion on the front left, but similar across all cars we care about.
Charles LECLERC: What do you want me to do? You want me to keep pushing? We save, we let them go?
Engineer: Plan B, stay with Norris.
Charles LECLERC: Okay, plan B.
Lewis HAMILTON: What do you need from me?
Engineer: And for now, this is our race.
Engineer: Push now, Fernando. I know I haven't given you much info, but just keep pushing now. I'm going to cover Hamilton.
Fernando ALONSO: I can't push now!
Engineer: Oscar, box to overtake Leclerc. Box to overtake Leclerc.
Engineer: Good pace on the outlook we're trying to undercut.
Oscar PIASTRI: So now it's the third, because that didn't work very well.
Engineer: So plan is keep the safety car gap on Hamilton. Go with Leclerc if you can.
Engineer: Sainz is backing up. Yeah, if he was just given a target of 19-0, so he's going to start backing you up now, I suspect. Maybe you'll give him a surprise moment, George.
Lando NORRIS: Why didn't anybody flex we'll
Engineer: keep asking
Charles LECLERC: Oh, this is a joke.
Max VERSTAPPEN: Am I sure full I.K. and Monica are going to be in 1972?
Engineer: I'll just say Max.
Fernando ALONSO: Yeah, retire the car. Smoke.
Engineer: Lando the gap to Leclerc is 5.0 if we can use some more pace we should please
Engineer: Car behind is now signed.
Liam LAWSON: Why are they doing that?
Engineer: To give themselves a pit stop.
George RUSSELL: He's driving dangerously slow, he's slamming on the brakes at all, all areas.
Engineer: Copy that.
Engineer: Okay, for show, Max. Let's go.
Engineer: Okay, it was a good stop by McLaren. However, we now have a safety car window over them. So let's go
Alexander ALBON: He's gonna take the 5-second penalty. Yeah, copy. I think intentional cloning, I think, is worse. Can't be allowed.
George RUSSELL: I had to avoid a collision from Albon, just slammed on the brakes. So
Engineer: we need to give that position back to Albon.
George RUSSELL: I'll take the penalty. He's driving erratically.
Engineer: So, we've got a drive-through penalty, but we'll delay it as long as we can.
George RUSSELL: To be honest, I'd rather not to speak.
Engineer: Have fun.
Engineer: Okay mate, doing really good. I'll just leave this app and I'll just try and hang it out for VSC or worse.
Engineer: Towards the end, we will swap the cars back.
Carlos SAINZ: Okay, let's do our race until the last lap of it. We never know what can happen in front. Alex will finish the race behind the door.
Charles LECLERC: Yeah, I know she's slow
Lando NORRIS: Where is Oscar? I need him to put towels under some pressure.
Lando NORRIS: Yeah, Max has just backed me up and he's not even fishing
Engineer: Right mate, let's stay close to this vine in front, there could be opportunities here.
Charles LECLERC: Yeah, he's doing many mistakes at the moment.
Lewis HAMILTON: Are they still nearly a minute ahead?
Engineer: Charles on medium and McLaren on hard, Lapin on 16, very close to each other fighting. You're not answering the question, that doesn't
Lewis HAMILTON: really matter I guess, I'm just asking, am I a minute behind or?
Engineer: It's 48 seconds.
Engineer: There you go. P1 in Monaco, baby.
Lando NORRIS: Monaco, baby! Yeah, baby! We did it. Well done. We won in Monaco. It's
Engineer: a
Lando NORRIS: dream. Well done, guys. Unbelievable job. Amazing weekend. Thank you so much.
Engineer: And Peter.
Charles LECLERC: Yeah, good job, boy. I guess not much more we could have done today. It's
Engineer: a
