    EngineerWe still have the same wind as this morning, tailwind in turn 4, same intensity. We are happy with everything on the data at the moment, we can't see any issue on data.

    Brendon HARTLEYOkay, really not happy with the balance. A lot of oversteer on entry, and then going into a huge washout mid-corner. And traction very, very poor.

  13. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:37:280:11

    EngineerWe did save a bit of mileage from this morning, it's up to you if you want to take the lap or if you'd rather use it for the soft. Yeah, the

    Lewis HAMILTONsoft point last out here.

  14. Marcus ERICSSONSauber14:38:550:14

  15. Daniel RICCIARDORed Bull14:50:340:18

    EngineerRäikkönen's first lap was a second off Vettel's he then found half a second on his second push lap did a very similar time to Vettel so it does look like if you get a clean first lap the tyres will drop off three or four or five tenths on the second push lap

  16. Pierre GASLYToro Rosso14:56:590:20

    Pierre GASLYProblem, problem, should I stop?
