Engineer: So the front tyre temperature seems a bit low.

Daniel RICCIARDO: I can't get any more out of these. I could hold this for a little bit, but can't improve from this.
Audio only, no transcript available for this message.
Engineer: sorry from the grid so we do need yeah we need to stop well what do you want me to do this is the point like this yeah but if we get it under control then you can push for a few laps at the end
Daniel RICCIARDO: The areas get pretty difficult
Engineer: OK, Nico, we're going to have to save brakes again, I'm afraid, we're going to have to save brakes again.
Nico HULKENBERG: How long until the end of this session?
Engineer: Three laps, including this one. I
Nico HULKENBERG: told you earlier, the breakaway was high.
George RUSSELL: In hindsight this was not a good decision to put these tyres on. I can't go faster, I'm just losing all the temp. I've almost lost it twice already.
