The session, message by message
EngineerOk Alex, what happened there?
Alexander ALBONJust zero traction so... I'll try again Ok,
Engineerunderstood
Alexander ALBONYeah, definitely negative. Felt like no grip on the front tyres at all under braking and also turn 6 is an incredible result.
EngineerNah,
Alexander ALBONbut did you see the understeer in 6? Okay, I'll try not to.
Alexander ALBONSo now we have this entry shut up on this, yes it's true, but the delta between entry and wind now is bigger than it's ever been
EngineerUnderstood, we will stick to the plan
Lando NORRISA lot of rear locking, turn
Engineer3, turn 4, anything I should do with toggles Ok understood, Carlos is now the car behind you, 2 seconds back on a timelapse
Nico HULKENBERGWhat is the limiter at 60?
EngineerIt's not correct if it is don't know sorry
EngineerOk, try one more lap,
Daniil KVYATbut what we did to the car, something is wrong, it's no grip at all mechanically, I'm just sliding everywhere, turn 3, turn 1 last lap was quite good, but I have sharp entries to high speed, very sharp and neutral balance all the way to the high speed, so it wasn't very helpful.
Lando NORRISWhat happened in turn 1 then, was it just wind or something?
EngineerStandby, JAWS just checking. And Lando, the only thing we can see is a bit more tailwinds through there. And if you want it, suggest Silver D5, Silver D5.
EngineerCharge on, charge on. Do you need to flap adjust? Your light timer? Yes.
Alexander ALBONWell, it's okay, we'll keep going, because the industry is massive.
EngineerKevin, are you okay to go up to high fuel, or do you want to try and run again on these used tires?
Kevin MAGNUSSENYeah, not ideal to go high fuel immediately. I don't know.
EngineerYeah, for now we'll stay... It looks like it will clear really quickly. Yeah, there's some debris, but yeah, okay, we'll monitor it, we'll stay low for now, we'll just stay ready. Okay, so you're box now, box.
EngineerOh, big crash, big crash, red flag, red flag. Follow the delta and remember to not overtake. Box.
George RUSSELLThere's
Engineera
George RUSSELLbit of gravel on the exit of turn six between turn six and seven if they can just sweep it while it's red

EngineerCarlos, are you happy with the front wing, are you happy with the front wing?
Carlos SAINZYeah, more or less, it depends.
EngineerNext tyre is hard, suggest to box this lap, suggest to box this lap.
EngineerIf I could get the tyres pulled, I'll try again. Hamilton, high fuel, two seconds behind you.
Nico HULKENBERGIs it time to go high fuel or otherwise no point really completing another lap?
EngineerWe just do what we need to do to learn about the car Niko, then we'll do whatever's left at the end.
Nico HULKENBERGYeah, I'll do one more lap.
Lance STROLLYeah, but regardless of the track, I feel like I'm really slow right now.
Nico HULKENBERGGot a lot of understeer in the high speed right now.
EngineerCopy.
EngineerI
Kimi RAIKKONENthink we are losing speed on the spread.
EngineerCopy, we are looking.
