The session, message by message

  1. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull09:06:070:10

    EngineerI'd like Tyre 10 on the exit of Turn 16 before you box. Tyre 10 exit Turn 16 before you box.

  2. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull09:07:410:07

    EngineerPush and avoid curbs

  3. Carlos SAINZMcLaren09:07:430:11

    EngineerOK, brake temperatures have come up well. You're staying out to push on the in-lap and just be careful, don't go making a gap turn 12 or 13, race director's note.

  4. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull09:08:440:05

    EngineerWe don't need tyre 10 on the exit of the final corner Max

  5. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo09:10:350:27

    Kimi RAIKKONENIt's very bumpy coming in our box. There's some big bump in the pit line. You can see it visibly Okay And how much lower is this pit border this board need to be? Two centimeters. We should check it. Yeah, I know. We should check it should be done on a pit step practice

  6. Lance STROLLRacing Point09:11:130:06

    EngineerSo Lance, just watch your kerb usage.

  7. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull09:14:330:05

    EngineerAnd a reminder, double steer turns four, five, seven.

  8. Daniel RICCIARDORenault09:20:340:06

    EngineerAnd your tire targets are 90 and 70

  9. Nico HULKENBERGRenault09:24:240:07

    EngineerAnd try to focus on recharge since it's a bit lower than normal at the start of this lap.

  10. Charles LECLERCFerrari09:26:230:10

    Engineerbrake temperature is okay, it will be mode race for last corner and mode race, mode race

  11. Daniil KVYATToro Rosso09:27:280:08

  12. Sebastian VETTELFerrari09:27:460:08

    EngineerCopy, Jornas in front slowing down.

  13. Carlos SAINZMcLaren09:28:360:07

    EngineerAnd Carlos, what adjustment would you like?

    Carlos SAINZTwo turns up.

    EngineerCopy, two turns up.

  14. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo09:30:000:11

    EngineerYeah, it's caveat at turn 15 that seems to be an engine issue Yeah, they're pushing the car out

  15. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas09:30:550:15

    EngineerOkay, so I hope that it'll go green soon. Yeah, VSC ending, VSC ending, so you can stay K2+, and then mode push to start the next lap. VSC ending, VSC ending, still yellow at 15.

  16. Nico HULKENBERGRenault09:31:330:06

    Engineerand we'd like diff mid 2 please diff mid 2

  17. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes09:33:080:09

    Lewis HAMILTONMy brakes aren't working properly

  18. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes09:35:420:12

    EngineerThat's a P1 10.5 Valtteri P2, you will get one more timed, if you're not comfortable with these brakes then we can box.

  19. Charles LECLERCFerrari09:39:080:17

    EngineerWe need multifunction mix position 3, mix position 3, and we will do constant speeds.

    Charles LECLERCLet me know the constant speed. So

    Engineerwe need FS2, 4th gear, FS2, 4th gear, and back to mode raise.

  20. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes09:47:180:04

    EngineerSo you're the only car on track.

  21. Lando NORRISMcLaren09:51:130:11

    EngineerYou were target plus 3, initial throttle was low, drive out was good and we can send the launch map off.

  22. Lando NORRISMcLaren09:54:290:15

    EngineerAnd Lando, how's the front wing?

    Lando NORRISIt's not enough, we need to come up one hole.

    EngineerOK understood, suggest we box this lap for front wing adjust.

  23. Daniel RICCIARDORenault09:58:170:02

    Audio only, no transcript

  24. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull09:58:190:09

    EngineerOK, classification update, Bottas currently P1, a 35.1 on the medium, Albon P2, 35.8 on the soft.

  25. Alexander ALBONRed Bull09:59:320:15

    EngineerThis is

    Alexander ALBONquite strange, so much oversteer at high speed. Quite a lot of understeer at high speed this time, I felt like the FOMS weren't as ready as the previous lap.

    EngineerCopy, understood.

  26. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull10:01:520:17

    EngineerOkay the losses to Bottas and Vettel are turns 8 and turn 10. Obviously that was your first time lap. Turns 8 and turn 10. So P1 was Vettel, 35.0, same tyre, Euro 35.5. Leclerc now 34.4.

  27. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull10:02:550:12

    EngineerOK, so just waking up the tyres down to turn 13. You've got a good track position ahead of you, so maintain position. First car behind time-lapse, Alvon at turn 10.

  28. Nico HULKENBERGRenault10:04:030:15

    EngineerSo Nico, turn 10 you actually braked later last lap, but the speed is actually at the apex. That's where the improvement can come, not on braking later. Braking points are good on previous laps. I suggest brake 4 for front locking.

  29. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull10:05:490:11

    EngineerWe'll go for a double cool down lap please Max, double cool lap. Would you like any recommendations for sector 3?

    Max VERSTAPPENNo, it's mainly sector 2.

  30. Charles LECLERCFerrari10:06:580:13

    Charles LECLERCCan we stop, try something on the front wing, and go again?

    EngineerYes, we can.

    Charles LECLERCThat's 5 clicks.

    EngineerCopy.

  31. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes10:08:280:09

    Lewis HAMILTONAnd how far are we down from the rest?

    EngineerSo to Leclerc P1, 9 tenths at the moment

  32. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull10:11:480:27

    EngineerOK recharge on please Max, and we'll box this lap, keep up with the base on the way in alright that one put your P2, just a tenth behind Leclerc, sector wise we are four tenths down in sector 1, just under a tenth in sector 2 and you are purple in sector 3, Bottas is two and a half tenths behind on the medium, Leclerc himself just under four tenths down in sector 3

  33. Pierre GASLYRed Bull10:15:180:08

    EngineerBox, box, box, box, we need those tires again, take it easy on the piton tree

  34. Robert KUBICAWilliams10:16:560:11

    EngineerI should target something specific or? We'll get the tower warmed up and then we'll give you some feedback if we need lifting coast and if we need the lifting coast it'll be in sector 2 Copy

  35. Romain GROSJEANHaas10:21:580:11

    EngineerWe are checking, we are checking. All looks okay on our side for now, we'll keep you posted.

  36. Robert KUBICAWilliams10:24:060:07

    EngineerAll okay for you Robert?

  37. Charles LECLERCFerrari10:24:230:22

    EngineerWe'll do a practice start at the end of the pit lane. We need mode formation, two burnouts and target one red. Engine five when you can and try to work on modulation. Paddle modulation and you can keep K2 for all the lap.

  38. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull10:26:250:21

    EngineerOK, Vettel is approaching you side by side, just hold 7th down to turn 2 And Vettel behind, so let him through

    Max VERSTAPPENMate, I don't even make it to 7 gear in the elevator

    EngineerUnderstood, please hold mode 3 to turn 10, you can stay in mode 3 to turn 10

  39. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes10:26:490:07

    EngineerThe

    Valtteri BOTTAStires are still all good and consistent.

  40. Carlos SAINZMcLaren10:28:220:08

    Carlos SAINZCopy,

    Engineerhappy to box Carlos, we can box this lap.

  41. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes10:30:200:08

    Engineercareful careful your rear wing is failed box box box

  42. Daniel RICCIARDORenault10:32:560:08

    EngineerIt's like a very steady the rear wing is hanging off

  43. Daniel RICCIARDORenault10:34:430:10

    Daniel RICCIARDOOkay, I'm not sure if you saw it, but I just lost the rear just off the brake
