Engineer: And Lando, this will be an attempt, Carlos will let you through into turn three.
Engineer: The
Kimi RAIKKONEN: shifting is quite harsh up to here.
Engineer: Copy that, we are looking.
Daniel RICCIARDO: Ok, understood. Yes, so low speed, just had to stabilise the rear a little bit, the high speed.
Engineer: So stroll 4 seconds, stroll 4 seconds time-lapse.
Daniil KVYAT: More understeer in the high speed I think, front is overheating, but in the middle of the round the balance didn't seem too bad, something I'm struggling a bit with, mid-corner understeer in turn 3, and can a bit of wash out in the last two corners, there is also a note for turn 3, feels like the inside front wheel is, the inside rear wheel is spinning. Ok,
Engineer: Giovinazzi is 4 behind and pushing.
Engineer: Don't dawdle too much, in the pit lane, stop on the marks, we're going to lay rubber, once you're in the pit lane we'll have strat 14, strat 14 and a max special please mate to lay rubber and then back out onto track.
Engineer: box this lap box this lap why we may have sustained front wing damage we think we've sustained front wing damage so box this lap
Alexander ALBON: Well, I don't know what we're doing with the braking and stuff but it's...
Engineer: Watch
Alexander ALBON: your mirrors for Magnussen, watch your mirrors It's all over the place, completely all over the place Ok, what was the issue Alex? We need more details please
Engineer: Okay, no more pushing cars for a while. I couldn't get out of the way there. Okay, understood. We know you tried. Understood. Box now. Yep, box now, box.
Kimi RAIKKONEN: Okay, it's a high-speed Decloners or not?
Engineer: Standby, we need mode charge and negative, negative for your question.
Engineer: Great sequence with Bottas behind.
Robert KUBICA: Yeah, I try one more, but for some figures the balance is nowhere.
Charles LECLERC: I took a debris of a car, if you could please check whether the tyre
Engineer: is ok or not. Ok, at the moment tyre pressure is ok.
Daniil KVYAT: The car is too much on the nose now, in all the low speed stuff, I lost traction, entry stability, high speed is better, but entry stability not good anymore.
Engineer: Yeah,
George RUSSELL: sorry, I only managed to get all my tools in the right position on that last lap.
Engineer: Yeah, copy. That's a good lap.
Engineer: And we are boxing again this lap, please.
Kimi RAIKKONEN: May I have time to do a lap?
Engineer: Yes, you will just make the next one shorter. I want
Kimi RAIKKONEN: to try one lap. Yeah, okay, we have time.

Max VERSTAPPEN: also losing time on the streets
Engineer: OK, the plan is to box now, but let me know if you would like to come through the pits and adjust the front wings.
Charles LECLERC: It's OK.
Engineer: OK, so box now, box.
Daniel RICCIARDO: rear slightly worse than the front
Lando NORRIS: Why am I at the bottom of the pack again? Is everything fine? Do I need to use anti-overtake?
Engineer: Use more anti-overtake if you can, we'll explain later and red flag, red flag, no overtaking, recharge on please.
