Every message, in the order it happened
Engineer: Yeah, keep the pressure on. You're doing a good job. Keep the pressure.
Gabriel BORTOLETO: Yep. What a drive. Good job. Excellent. So good. Set the pressure up. Really good pace. Well done. Thank you.
Engineer: You think it's worth it already to go to the shop? How do you feel the tire?
Isack HADJAR: They are still alive, so maybe wait a little bit. And for the moment they're okay. The only thing can be rear overheating a little bit.
Engineer: That's not the way, mate. That's not the way. You now need to keep it cool. Reset.
Engineer: But there's no reason to go back anymore. I have a very big reason. If you get a penalty for Monaco, I'm going to win. OK? So I want you to be back on track, even if you are two or three laps down or you go slow. I don't care. I want the penalty today.
Charles LECLERC: Can you at least tell me what the plan is? Like, what are we trying to do?
Engineer: We're trying to wait for rain, mate. So to keep the track positioned and so if it rains, everyone has to stop, so we keep this position, you know?
Max VERSTAPPEN: I think this is
Engineer: the
Max VERSTAPPEN: switch.
Engineer: Copy that Max. Box, switch to select, confirm.
Max VERSTAPPEN: Yep.
Engineer: Are you happy on these tires, or do you want to enter?
Oscar PIASTRI: Honestly, I have no idea. It's really tough, honestly. But I'm surprised the inter is working.
Engineer: The drivers aren't entertised or complaining already, so we've got the right one here.
Engineer: Any comments on conditions, Lando?
Lando NORRIS: Yeah, I don't know. We'll see.
Arvid LINDBLAD: It's not going again
Oscar PIASTRI: It feels like the rain stopped quite a lot now, so what are we thinking to do?
Engineer: Oscar, Hawker, the rain should ease from here, but everyone's going to have very cold tires.
Oscar PIASTRI: Yeah, but I think now it is time for slicks, so should we just box?
George RUSSELL: I don't
Engineer: know
George RUSSELL: why the ride has felt quite a bit worse today than yesterday.
Engineer: So, Oscar, our tyres have dropped quite a lot. Everyone on SOC must have very cold tyres by this time.
Oscar PIASTRI: Yeah, but if we fit now, we will have cold tyres. We will have warm tyres. So, I don't know. It's... I mean, it's... These engines are a mistake now.
Engineer: Although we could be going very long here
Lewis HAMILTON: I got no power man. Come on guys
Engineer: We need to box this lap. It's a reliability problem
Kimi ANTONELLI: Why made you push me off and I was ahead like what's the point?
Engineer: Hemi will give you the position.
George RUSSELL: Convenient just before the freeze.
Engineer: I think that was just when it was given to him. So head down. It's your throttle up to go.
Charles LECLERC: Okay, that was really a cheap one.
Lando NORRIS: Something's broken about gearbox or something
Engineer: I'm sorry, mate. All right, thank you. All good.
Kimi ANTONELLI: What is this guy doing man
Engineer: You have same pace as Antonelli, be one to ten faster than Max in front.
Engineer: I'm listening to this one right now. Yeah, me too. I can tell you know what happened here.
Lewis HAMILTON: We can do this guys
Engineer: Blue is now picking up the pace, 15.0
Charles LECLERC: Let's top the ticket until the last lap, until the last lap And anything absolutely critical
Lewis HAMILTON: They both are
Engineer: Nice work, Kimi. It's been a very eventful day, but well done.
Kimi ANTONELLI: Yeah, thank you, everyone. Not the way I wanted to win. It was going to be a good fight with George, but yeah, we'll take it.
Engineer: And we're done. Pichu, that was a great fight.
Lewis HAMILTON: Good job, good job.
Engineer: Whoo! That was tough, guys. Make a job this weekend. Definitely the result we deserve. Thank you so much to everyone back at the factory. Gracias a tutti. Let's keep pushing. This is a good step. Let's keep working to try and close that gap. Thank you, Luis.
Engineer: Good job Max, we didn't fight out there today I think, well done.
Max VERSTAPPEN: Yeah, it's just a shame we didn't have the tyre attack for the final scene. Really difficult but good job. That's
Engineer: the
Max VERSTAPPEN: first road in.
Engineer: Oh, vamos, buddy. He's six. Good
Franco COLAPINTO: job, mate. Mate. Sorry for the extra stress. I don't know.
Engineer: I'm
Franco COLAPINTO: really sorry. I'll check
Engineer: the heart rate. I'll check the heart rate after the race, mate. Mate, fantastic job this weekend. Really, really good driving.
Liam LAWSON: Well done guys, I really struggled to put pace in that race, I think we missed it though, at the start especially,
Engineer: but even on the last set. Yeah, probably out of balance a bit, and we will show you some things when you come back.
Liam LAWSON: Copy that, otherwise really good job.
Engineer: But I've got the box on my shoulder here He's a he's a very happy man So that is big that's your best ever result in f1 now make another week another best
