2. Pierre GASLYRed Bull10:04:12

   Pierre GASLY: The steering is slightly bent to the right, so right hand side down.

3. Nico HULKENBERGRenault10:14:22

   Engineer: So a little bit harder out lap than yesterday, mainly not lifting on the straights.

4. George RUSSELLWilliams10:15:33

   George RUSSELL: little bit of vibration through the brake pedal and the braking

5. Carlos SAINZMcLaren10:16:54

   Carlos SAINZ: Sorry Tom, you said this is the new or the old?

   Engineer: This is the baseline front wing, test front wing goes on in the pit stop

6. Carlos SAINZMcLaren10:17:11

   Engineer: Carlos' new brakes, so good warm up on brakes and take care of front locking with this battle switch.

7. Carlos SAINZMcLaren10:18:08

   Engineer: So cars compared to Lando first part of the lap looks good. We're losing out a bit in turn 13-14 that's about getting the exits and a little bit looks like you're over slowing the car in turn 18

8. Daniel RICCIARDORenault10:19:47

   Engineer: OK, and how was the balance?

   Daniel RICCIARDO: So, yeah, it was OK, it was on the sharp side, I'd say initial response still sharp, then some understeer across the apex, but generally a bit more feeling compared to yesterday, but I'd probably take a little bit of front wing off.

   Engineer: OK, understood.

9. Alexander ALBONRed Bull10:21:16

   Alexander ALBON: That's a lot of understeer.

   Engineer: Question, would you like more front flap? Question?

   Alexander ALBON: We'll see with the tyres. Let's leave it.

   Engineer: Copy.

10. Lance STROLLRacing Point10:22:14

    Engineer: Rear tyres on the cool side, so suggest pushing down this straight. No DRS. So we've got reports of understeer turn 1, so consider opening the diff for the start of the lap and yellow button.

11. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull10:23:19

    Max VERSTAPPEN: Can you test all the still car speed limiter? Can I get that away?

    Engineer: Yeah, I'll be done

12. Lando NORRISMcLaren10:23:20

    Lando NORRIS: Yeah, I have no tie times for my friend, so you have to keep me updated on my front tires, I can't see anything

24. Carlos SAINZMcLaren10:39:21

    Carlos SAINZ: Yeah, I'm struggling a bit with the rear in the last sector, a bit more than yesterday. Also, breaking confidence at the bite, maybe not so good.
