Engineer: Alright, look me out. Yeah, copy, saw that mate.
Kimi ANTONELLI: Motherf***ing idiot.
Carlos SAINZ: Sorry guys, Anthony just turned in there at the end.
Oscar PIASTRI: It's milk from the left, doesn't look okay on the right.
George RUSSELL: That's really super slow.
Engineer: Hey, I think he's struggling front left.
Charles LECLERC: Truck limits, Fort Norris.
Engineer: Copy.
Engineer: I know you're busy. We just had our third strike, track limits turn 13. We think you were pushed off, but we've had a black and white flag, so be careful. I know, I know, I know, I know, I know.
Engineer: Trials are becoming tricky. Yeah, we think maybe conditions are changing a little bit here Max.
Engineer: Thoughts on a stop to get to the end from here? I think jumping up from here. Copy.
Engineer: Let's go. Russell is within undercut range. Would you prefer to pick first onto a soft or let him go and have to pass on track?
Oscar PIASTRI: Probably go first.
Engineer: Fox. Yep, Box and Slap.
Lando NORRIS: Yeah, that's nice of God
Engineer: Lando complaining about tyres now, this will be more fragile so I do think we need to look after it most.
Lando NORRIS: I'm just slow, I just don't have the grip when I'm close. Okay
Engineer: mate, I understand like the car feels right now but the paces are really strong. We're under no threats from behind, when the car gets cooler we go and get Leclerc.
Engineer: Keep the pressure on he has three strikes
Engineer: Both cars are managing here, switch the lead to hold positions, please.
Franco COLAPINTO: Hold what? Hold positions? Wait, he's too low!
Engineer: Another very impressive weekend, Max. Extremely well done. Enjoy the celebrations. I'll see you next year.
Max VERSTAPPEN: Yeah, well done, mate. Unbelievable weekend. Really, really good. Thank you very much, everyone. And yeah, we can fly back, mate.
Engineer: Well done, Max. That was proper domination, what to say. You got everything this weekend.
Max VERSTAPPEN: Yeah, really, really happy with that. Let's try and keep this momentum up.
Charles LECLERC: And E3, well done, nice drive. Yeah, good job, good recovery this weekend. Yeah, it's good to be back on the podium and I think we worked really well this weekend, so... Good job.
Engineer: Don't worry, Charles, we'll win.
