Alexander ALBONstruggling to keep the front tyre temps up
George RUSSELLThat wheeling was, yeah,
Engineerimpossible with the traffic. Copy. We got some.
Pierre GASLYPretty bad traffic in turn one, that last lap. My car balance is a lot better, still lacking a bit of rear on the exit.

Lando NORRISErm, I think it's misfiring or something.
EngineerOK, stand by.
Lando NORRISLow revs, off corners.
EngineerOK, we're checking the data now. And Scenario 1 please, Scenario 1. And bring the car back, please bring the car back.
Lewis HAMILTONCan I have box? Just engine mileage for no reason.
EngineerOK Lucy, if we could have just one more lap and then we'll box. Just to give us a good reference.
EngineerOK, loose, we're happy to box now, so box, box.
Nico HULKENBERGThere's like some pick-up Made a little bit more to the right of the front right tyre, either pick-up or some weird shadow But it's been there all the time
EngineerOkay Nico, copy that
