EngineerAnd mode push before the last corner.

EngineerWe will

Kevin MAGNUSSENperform a start on

Engineerthe left side, no burnouts allowed.

Nico HULKENBERGNeed more high-speed locators, 5 or 6, which one do you recommend?

EngineerHigh-speed 6, Nico

Carlos SAINZAnd how was the balance? Oversteery side.

EngineerOkay, Stoff, all well done. The wind has picked up since P1. It's about 5 kph stronger. You're currently P6. Nine cars have set times. And Stoff, actually lap time is not looking too bad. Grosjean is the fastest midfield car on prime. He's won 10.6. Sainz won 11.0.

Sebastian VETTELCheck the carb, lift to the right, to the straights.

EngineerCopy that.

EngineerI

Nico HULKENBERGcrashed at the exit at

Engineerthe

Nico HULKENBERGlast corner

EngineerOkay, Nico, we see it. Okay. Are you okay? Yeah, I'm

Nico HULKENBERGfine

EngineerOkay

Engineerso the clerk one side okay yeah i know look ricciardo coming on the push very very out of sync two behind half the people are in sync half are out so the next two behind you

Sebastian VETTELIs the Renault okay?

EngineerYeah, he's okay. He's out on the count.

Sebastian VETTELOkay, there's something loose between my legs apart from the obvious So repeat there's something loose between my legs apart from the obvious. So something flying around my feet

EngineerOkay, copy

Sebastian VETTELYeah Around my feet. I mean I'd be proud if it was what you think it is, but it's not

EngineerFocus on the front tires, weaving and braking.

Lewis HAMILTONWhat's the strap for this lap? 12? Just 12.

EngineerTires were a little bit on the cool side, they'll probably be better off on the next lap. Did the tires improve through the lap, question?

Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, they definitely started cool.

EngineerOkay, understood.

EngineerIt's just two hundredths of Vettel's time, Raikkonen has gone P1 but that's on the Super.

Lewis HAMILTONTwo tenths did you say?

EngineerNope, two hundredths to Vettel.

Kimi RAIKKONENOkay, I don't know what the f*** is happening. Where's it going?

EngineerI

Brendon HARTLEYwas three tenths up, but I clicked the wrong button. I put recharge early.

Brendon HARTLEYCan we disconnect the drinks tube as well? It keeps leaking into my mouth, it's plainly ***.

Kevin MAGNUSSENI had a massive understeer for some reason. Beginning of the lap was fine, turn 1, turn 4, 6, but then from there I just picked up a big understeer.

EngineerOkay, understood, understood. Yeah, we see also on the data.

EngineerStoff that looked like a pretty good lap apart from turn 10 pretty good lap apart from turn 10 There's a very big tailwind in turn 10 that lap as well. We measured a very big tailwind in turn 10

EngineerWhat do you want to do, box now? The only other thing we could try is, I'm still very fast through 6, you could try going slower on entry of 6 and slower through 6 overall and just see if it gives the left side tires an easier time for 8 and 10, just so they go in not so hot. So it could be interesting to try, what do you think? It's very difficult for Chip. Yeah, to know how to go slower, yeah, okay. But I can give it another go and see. We'll collect some data anyway, so yeah, try and go slower through 6, see what happens.

Sebastian VETTELOk, there is still something loose, jumping

Engineerback

Sebastian VETTELand forth.

EngineerOk, copy.

Romain GROSJEANThat was messy

EngineerI think they have the deployment. Yep, stand by, I'll get back to you. OK Fernando, it seems to have recovered, we're looking into it. And Fernando, the issue was throttle overlap.

Kimi RAIKKONENWell, I had traffic with the f***ing Madrid. Understood.

EngineerOk Carlos, might be some drops on the exit of turn 12, might be some rain drops exit turn 12.

EngineerJust have a look at the track condition in turn 12, get some feedback there might be some very light spots there, it's level half.

Sergey SIROTKINCopy.

Kevin MAGNUSSENSmall drops of rain.

EngineerYeah, it should be really tiny and disappear quite soon.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, that's

Engineerfine. Don't worry

Sebastian VETTELRight rear I would say.

EngineerAnd box Sebastian, box. We have an issue on the left rear, be careful.

EngineerVettel did 10 laps on soft, he ended on a 13.0, Hamilton on soft 8 laps in doing 13.2

EngineerAnd drink test drink test I

Pierre GASLYthink it's up to you

EngineerThe

Lance STROLLcar is getting better.

EngineerOK, if we think we're still learning then we can stay out one more lap.

Lewis HAMILTONI've got a lot of grip, but yeah, something just doesn't feel right, but no.

EngineerLaptimes aren't looking too bad Lewis, we're just looking into the temps.

Esteban OCONIs there a lot of gust of wind?

EngineerYes, there are. Yep.

Stoffel VANDOORNEWhat's happening?

EngineerWe're just getting the umbilical stuff. We have a problem.

EngineerHow's the front wing, Daniel? How's the front wing?

Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, it's okay.

EngineerI

Daniel RICCIARDOwouldn't take more.

EngineerOkay, understood.

EngineerAnd Fernando, engine braking test, shape 5, torque 5, shape 5, torque 5.

Fernando ALONSOWait, because the first seat here destroyed the three laps so far.

Max VERSTAPPENI went a bit wide.

EngineerUnderstood.

EngineerYou

Lewis HAMILTONshould stop and do some work on the rest of the car.

EngineerOK, so box, box, box, box, we're going to switch to the other tyre.

Lewis HAMILTONI think, can you do the same you just did to the rears? Rears are not working.

EngineerOK, copy Lewis, we will just go for the stop, we're going to have a 10 second hold.

Lewis HAMILTONYou can pull me in to do anything to the rears.

EngineerNegative, I haven't got anything prepared for that, it's not a quick change. You

Lewis HAMILTONguys should be prepared for everything.

Esteban OCONOk, I need to back off.

EngineerSo, Räikkönen 5 behind, you can back off towards Räikkönen 5 behind, but that's pretty much it. Back off late though, don't do it now, don't do it now. Don't do it now.

Esteban OCONYeah, I cannot in the corner go on throttle, Brad.

Romain GROSJEANYep, no comment again.

Kevin MAGNUSSENMy mirror has come off.

EngineerOkay, understood, understood.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, the rungs are very poor, I can't turn.

EngineerUnderstood. Is that balance or tyre condition?

Max VERSTAPPENBoth.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerProtect your spots are right at turn 12 again.
