EngineerYep, okay, understood on the DRS.
George RUSSELLYeah, DRS works. Copy.
Antonio GIOVINAZZIYeah, front axis is not working, the temperature.
EngineerCopy Antonio.
Kimi RAIKKONENOk, why is it like when I have a PT4 on my steering wheel and I dash it shows PT3? Which one is it?
EngineerWhen
Kimi RAIKKONENI put the switch
Engineerin PT4 it says PT3 and I dash it. Ah, ok, I got what you said. Alright, I'm not sure. Which one is it? Yeah, but... Yeah, which... I just have to look which one it is. Ok, ok, we're having a look.
Kimi RAIKKONENNo, yeah, I know. I have PT4 on the steering wheel, and that is just PT3. So there's one step different between the two, so tell me which one is right.
EngineerTry PT3, I don't have time to have a look now.
EngineerYeah,
Romain GROSJEANif you've got any suggestion or not, big, big, big, big, big on the steer.
Robert KUBICAI didn't know he was behind he just overtook me
EngineerCheck if we have rear left puncture. We may have rear left puncture.
Audio only, no transcript
Nico HULKENBERGWe'll bail out of this, the track position was really sh**
EngineerLook
Nico HULKENBERGat people coming by and driving at us, he's going slow
Charles LECLERCWhere's the cars behind? Where's the other cars behind pushing?
EngineerSo behind pushing they are on the main straight so we have a good gap there. Cars behind it's Albon, Gasly and Ricciardo all in an outlap.
Daniel RICCIARDOJust when I left the pin exit, had a bit of a cut in power, well, seems OK now.
EngineerOK, understood.
Daniel RICCIARDOYep understood. Yeah quite a lot of understeer.
Audio only, no transcript

Engineercopy that yeah
Daniil KVYATi locked up some uh with the front wheels into one and uh
Engineera
Daniil KVYATbig understeer still through six copy
Engineerdonny do you think real support was any better
Daniil KVYATuh perhaps yeah given how the state of the tire was it's not bad but yeah the understeer was quite big there in turn six that's my main concern but the rest of the lab uh maybe it wasn't bad
Engineercopy that box box down in box
Kevin MAGNUSSENIs my front right sensor working?
EngineerIt looks like it's not working, so it should be fine. It was okay here in the garage, now it's not working, just sensor. It's front left I think, but anyway, yep, it's okay, they're all okay.
EngineerLooks like the places to find time are where there's tailwind, so turn 4 exit, turn 8 braking and turn 13 are the key places to try and find time.
Carlos SAINZYeah it was not a very good lap, quite a lot of traffic in the second sector.
Lance STROLLI'm
Engineerjust
Lance STROLLgoing to go really slow for two laps. Is that okay for the pack?
EngineerYeah, that's fine for the pack. Verstappen behind, flying left.
Daniel RICCIARDOI suffered quite a lot with understeer, but Saxton's still quite weak but still able to rotate the car in the low speed.
EngineerBit of a messy lap there, what were you thinking about balance?
Valtteri BOTTASYeah, the car was a lot more oversteery with that setup, so that's why it was quite messy. Copy, thank you.
