Every message, in the order it happened
Alexander ALBON: After this run, can we just change my helmet? It's some weird visor, like double vision or something.
Max VERSTAPPEN: Alright, my studio feels really weird suddenly. I don't know what it is.
Engineer: Alright.
Charles LECLERC: I don't feel a thing with this fast turn.
Engineer: Understood.
Max VERSTAPPEN: My god, this is like idiots
Charles LECLERC: I cannot feel a thing. Really frustrating. I don't even know where's the balance of the car with this tyre steering. Understood Charles. Nothing we can do for now.
Engineer: OK, Bottas, opening behind. Bottas, opening behind.
Yuki TSUNODA: I didn't know Bottas was driving, mate.
Engineer: Yeah, copy that.
Lando NORRIS: Yep, where can I find 1.6 seconds?
Engineer: So main opportunities are turn 7 and turn 10 mid-corner speed.
Engineer: Total recharge
Max VERSTAPPEN: Yeah, it feels like the dumping is really bad on the car every time I move throttle the car is jumping a lot
Max VERSTAPPEN: Yeah, this clipping out at 6 is a disaster, just no pace out of the corner.

Engineer: Yep, so that
