  1. Daniel RICCIARDORenault09:31:410:11

  2. Nico HULKENBERGRenault09:32:510:08

    EngineerSo a reminder for Aero P4 5th gear cruise please.

  3. Charles LECLERCFerrari09:34:160:07

    Engineerand just a reminder DRS OFF for the first outlap

  4. Carlos SAINZMcLaren09:35:020:10

    EngineerOkay Carlos, so we're staying out, this is a once past. You should go to scenario 5 for the in-lap, scenario 5.

  5. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo09:36:280:10

    EngineerOkay, let's do a start. Oh, you want to start in here also? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's do a start.

  6. Lance STROLLRacing Point09:37:420:16

    EngineerYeah we've got 10 minutes, 10 minutes Lance. Until we go back out or you want me back in the car in 10 minutes? Until we go back out, 10 minutes until we go back out.

    Lance STROLLOkay.

  7. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo09:38:230:09

    EngineerOk Kimi, when you stop on position, you can do an all-drive test, and for that you need a K21.

  8. Charles LECLERCFerrari09:42:100:07

    EngineerFor the next lap we'll do constant speeds whilst we do the cool down.

  9. Sebastian VETTELFerrari09:45:120:08

    EngineerI can't see anything so I'm blind. Yeah, we know. With the under dash.

  10. Carlos SAINZMcLaren09:51:330:08

    EngineerOkay Carlos, that's P5. P5, you're the only guy on hard, most cars on medium.

  11. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas09:53:340:12

    EngineerSame lap time as Sainz, and Kvyat's 0.3 quicker, so it looks in the window.

  12. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas09:54:030:16

    Kevin MAGNUSSENThe retardation on the brakes, it's really bad.

    EngineerReally bad, okay. Understood. All the way through the brake event or especially at the beginning?

    Kevin MAGNUSSENAll the way.

    EngineerOkay, understood. We'll look into it.

  13. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes09:56:410:10

    Lewis HAMILTONJust check that I've got nothing damaged on my car, signs need to be in the wall.

    EngineerOK copy, we'll have a look at the loads.

  14. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull09:59:520:19

    EngineerStrat 8. All right so both Kubica and Perez ahead just complete the time lapse they'll be on slow laps expect your lap will be a fraction quicker. Russell behind also in phase and likewise Norris so all cars around you in phase don't be surprised if you are quicker.

  15. Nico HULKENBERGRenault10:00:350:09

    EngineerCool the car, please, cool the car. Aero P4 5th gear cruise after turn 5.

  16. Carlos SAINZMcLaren10:01:520:10

    EngineerWe've had eight cars have run soft. On medium, fastest medium runner is Kvyat, he's done a 43.3

  17. Nico HULKENBERGRenault10:05:360:07

    EngineerOkay Nico, same procedure on this lap, track will be clear when you go out.

  18. Lando NORRISMcLaren10:06:290:09

    EngineerAnd still turn 11 minimum speed is the place to focus on, potentially back off turn 10 to achieve it.

  19. George RUSSELLWilliams10:08:310:20

    George RUSSELLHappy to abort at the end of a lap if needed.

    EngineerYeah we should be able to complete one time lap, we should be able to complete one time lap and then a potential hard in lap just to keep the learning going.

    George RUSSELLThe velcro on the belts are not sticking so when I'm braking the return of the belt is flying all over the place.

  20. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes10:15:460:18

    EngineerOK, Valtteri, so that's P2, 41.9, Lewis still P1 on the soft, 41.4, so this tyre doesn't look a bad one, rear left surface temp is in error.

  21. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes10:19:270:12

    EngineerOkay, so we'll go for a cool-down lap. So that's P1. Double cool-down. Affirm. So there was more overeating on that second lap, as you might have felt.

  22. George RUSSELLWilliams10:21:060:24

    EngineerOutlap prep was good last time round, just a suggestion if you can on the timelapse to try and limit slip out of turn 8 that's a particular one that will drive the tempter Go

    George RUSSELLagain, how about turn 8?

    EngineerTurn 8, we seem to get a lot of wheel slip out of turn 8 on the timelapse and we think the track will improve by about 1.2 seconds, track improvement at 1.2

  23. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas10:25:480:12

    Kevin MAGNUSSENYeah, I couldn't activate the...

    EngineerOkay, yeah, understood. That's the spot where it is intermittent, so they're going to fix it after this session, but keep trying to use it, that's fine.

  24. Charles LECLERCFerrari10:29:060:12

    EngineerI might make it, I pass to the left of the ball out but yeah,

    Charles LECLERCI

    Engineerdon't have the choice anyway, I'm not going to stay on the first lane. Copy.

  25. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas10:32:260:14

    EngineerSo P12, Raman's P10, about 0.5 behind, but obviously the first sector from the first lap would be better, so if you put it all together it's a very similar lap time, so that's good.

  26. Sebastian VETTELFerrari10:34:410:13

    EngineerOkay 200, 200.

    Sebastian VETTELYeah, copy. Where's the issue with the red flag? It's

    Engineerbrought us in the barriers at turn 18.

  27. Sebastian VETTELFerrari10:38:380:09

    EngineerOkay, 200, 200. Is he okay? Yeah, he's okay. It was low speed.

  28. Carlos SAINZMcLaren10:44:510:11

    Carlos SAINZdo you think i will find traffic uh

    Engineeryeah carlos only four cars have left the pits so far behind you so you could meet some cars on outlaps difficult to be sure

  29. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull10:47:370:11

    EngineerOkay Max, so feedback on the start. You were a little bit cautious on the throttle pickup on the clutch release, so just bear that in mind next time.

  30. George RUSSELLWilliams10:53:280:06

    EngineerSo a high 48 is a good lap time, high 48.

  31. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo11:01:060:06

    Kimi RAIKKONENCrews

    Engineerplease.

    Kimi RAIKKONENMassive vibration.

    EngineerCopy, massive vibration.
