EngineerAnd tack should be green so by point find and a launch please.

Kevin MAGNUSSENTrack is really red

EngineerUnderstood, like is it correct for inters?

Kevin MAGNUSSENYeah, it is inters, but it's quite far from dry

EngineerUnderstood understood

EngineerScenario 12 Nico, Scenario 12.

Nico HULKENBERGSeems like it's not the usual Scenario 12, we still have power.

EngineerRecharge off.

Carlos SAINZI have a bit of an offset on the steering to the left

EngineerCopy

EngineerCopy that, Nico. Stopping on the marks. The car is not safe from an ERS point of view. So just stay where you are. When you come to a stop, the guys will be using gloves.

George RUSSELLIt's not gonna be slicks anytime soon. Yeah, there's

Engineera

George RUSSELLfew dry patches here and there but generally very wet

EngineerHow are all conditions?

Max VERSTAPPENAll good, drivable.

EngineerAnd let us know how the track is, if it's more damp than yesterday. Yeah, definitely more damp than yesterday, no

Valtteri BOTTASway, with the slicks for now.

EngineerCopy that, so box box for another start.

EngineerHow are the tyres holding up, Max? Yeah, still okay.

Max VERSTAPPENWhy are we not doing more?

EngineerWe'll come through the pit lane for another launch for the moment.

Lewis HAMILTONJust had a massive drop in power.

EngineerShould

Lewis HAMILTONI stop?

EngineerNo, we're just looking.

EngineerHappy to continue.

EngineerAre you staying out, Max?

Max VERSTAPPENOf course.

Charles LECLERCAnd stop on the marks, be

Engineercareful with the pit lane, it's a bit slippery.

EngineerMain time loss is half a second in the middle sector.

EngineerMode 6, box, Alex, box.

Kimi RAIKKONENYeah, my left front is quite badly worn, so if we do more laps it will clean up, but...

EngineerOK, let's try one more. We need to do some setting on the main straight.

EngineerDecent test, we don't use them anymore, right? No, no, no we won't use these again.

EngineerSpark 3, Spark 3, BC 4, BC 4.

EngineerOK Kevin, so box now box, we'd like to drive through and do another practice start. So we'll drive through and do another practice start, you can go to mode slow and do a couple burnouts.

Kevin MAGNUSSENCopy that, box now.

EngineerOK Kevin, when you get there can you do a static bite point learn before the start? A static bite point learn and then just don't drop the clutch so deep. Not so deep this time for less wheel spin.

EngineerCarlos, happy to stay out if there's something to learn on this tyre, but we have not adjusted the rear so you'd need to still be careful on kerbs. I want to go through pit lane for another start. No problem, so box this lap for a start.

EngineerOkay, let me know what you want to do. It's your call. Copy to box. Copy, box to slap.

EngineerI am suggesting to stay out.

EngineerAnd look for the patches to cool down the tires

EngineerAnd let us know your thoughts about the track for

Valtteri BOTTASthe video, okay,

Engineerso box box

EngineerChassis weight set to position 1

EngineerOk Carlos, so Raikkonen on the slick has just done a 21.6, that's obviously purple in all sectors. Gasly in front of you is on a new Inter. And Carlos, we should have time to do push-cool-push on both sets, I'll keep you updated on that towards the end of the session.

EngineerOk Pierre, we've got many cars now going out on dry We're gonna feed the dry and go straight away and pit stop for another dry, and you keep me posted if you want to box, ok?

Pierre GASLYCopy

EngineerOkay, copy pit lane, tyre switch to QALY, tyre switch to QALY before you stop, and there'll be a live stop onto the new QALY tyre.

EngineerValtteri did a 19.1. Sector 3 looks the wettest at the moment.

EngineerWe see, we see. OK guys,

Romain GROSJEANI need to find something down the steer, it's massive. We're

Engineerlooking. I'll try diff 31, diff 31 to open the mid.

Kevin MAGNUSSENBig front wheel Hopping at the exits of course hopping

Engineerat the exits of corners. Okay understood. We'll have a look

Max VERSTAPPENBit of traffic, last sector.

EngineerOkay, understood. Now that was good enough for P1 at this stage. Okay Max, can you keep up the pace please? Keep up the pace on the way in. We are going to box, come through the pit lane for a launch. Keep up the pace on the way in.

EngineerAnd box, box. We'll go to the soft tyre in the box. Confirm front wing plus one. Please add two. Affirm.

EngineerLet's have a front wing update, Max, for the next set. Front wing update.

Max VERSTAPPENTwo clicks more.

EngineerUnderstood, thank you. Plus two.

EngineerAre you happy with the front wing? It will be a quick turn around.

Charles LECLERCPlus two.

EngineerPlus two.

EngineerWhen you get it that displays on your left, compares on your left with Seb, you both did it on your second push.

Romain GROSJEANSomething is broken on the car on

Engineerthe

Romain GROSJEANrear bar, it's not possible to have that understeer

Engineerand

Romain GROSJEANthat oscillation mid-corner.

EngineerOK, we'll check everything. OK, we are happy to continue, we'll look at it after the run. Yeah, but something is not right

Romain GROSJEANat the rear. I've got massive oscillation into the low speed from the rear and the understeer level is huge. It's like I've got no front wing.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, unbelievable

EngineerAnd box now please box now. So Lando we're gonna do a live pit stop and we're gonna drive back out again so launch map on please launch map on careful the pit lane is wet.

Lando NORRISI can't drive out again.

EngineerCorrect sorry you'll be live pit stop engine off well done thank you.

EngineerSo P3 Leclerc and Vettel just a tenth ahead so we have a fight in our hands

Lewis HAMILTONThat was a miscommunication. I thought you said that I could do consecutive laps if I want.

EngineerI

Lewis HAMILTONdidn't understand that. I've only got time for two laps in a row.

EngineerYeah, sorry, you only had time to do those two laps.

Alexander ALBONBut what's

Engineershe

Alexander ALBONf***ing doing?

Valtteri BOTTASYeah, some good flocking by the Red Bull on that last lap in Turn 4.
