4. Carlos SAINZMcLaren18:08:09

5. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes18:10:55

8. George RUSSELLWilliams18:14:56

   George RUSSELL: Okay, let's just leave it where it is Yeah, sure we're going

   Engineer: to

   George RUSSELL: get the front working, but I guess the tyres were not in the best window after the shenanigans then. Yeah, could be.

   Engineer: Should be a bit easier next time around.

9. Charles LECLERCFerrari18:18:17

   Engineer: You can abort. Abort the lab.

10. Nico HULKENBERGRenault18:18:54

    Nico HULKENBERG: Still the front, not really ready, especially turn 2, doesn't feel great at all.

11. Daniel RICCIARDORenault18:20:33

    Daniel RICCIARDO: Yeah pretty similar, I'd say on wing I wouldn't want more, but yeah pretty similar, little better out of one, but I made a little mistake. Ok

    Engineer: understood.

12. Daniil KVYATToro Rosso18:21:37

    Engineer: So P-16 and the box-box

13. Romain GROSJEANHaas18:21:59

    Romain GROSJEAN: I picked up so much understeer. What happened?

14. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes18:28:37

    Lewis HAMILTON: Commander for us out.

    Engineer: How are you fam Lewis? So cars are starting to leave the pits now, we may have to drop back a bit just to make sure we don't trip over them.

15. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes18:31:21

    Engineer: So, currently P2 Lewis 8.0, so it's a tenth and a half, so it's turn 10 with the lockup, it'll look good up to that point.

16. Nico HULKENBERGRenault18:32:35

    Nico HULKENBERG: Still struggling a bit with turning into turn one and two.

    Engineer: Copy that Nico. I

    Nico HULKENBERG: think maybe just that slowing right down at the end, I don't know, it

    Engineer: doesn't feel that great. That's impossible to predict though, that's the problem. So we need to work the brakes harder on the outlap or something like that to try and generate more front temperature.

    Nico HULKENBERG: Also a bit rear, like starting that lap I had quite a bit of slip exiting the last corner. Copy

    Engineer: that Nico.

17. Lando NORRISMcLaren18:33:21

    Lando NORRIS: Gimmy just came out, right into the side of me.

    Engineer: OK, we'll look at it.

18. Lando NORRISMcLaren18:39:07

    Engineer: OK, Landers, I've tried to let the lead group of cars get away from us a bit. It's likely we will catch people in the final sector before we open our lap, but that's going to be OK.

19. Lando NORRISMcLaren18:41:28

    Engineer: And Lando, we are P11.

    Lando NORRIS: Yeah, I know. Sorry about that. Didn't put it together.
