  1. Carlos SAINZMcLaren11:01:160:06

    EngineerSo bike point find, two burnouts, first gear launch.

  2. Alexander ALBONRed Bull11:09:280:05

    EngineerWork the tires, work the tires.

  3. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:12:150:05

    EngineerAnd just confirming we'll go diff mid 3 diff mid 3

  4. Alexander ALBONRed Bull11:14:570:10

    EngineerAnd adjust your balaclava, adjust your microphone, have a look at your tie temps, cool your ears.

  5. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes11:16:260:07

    EngineerSo we don't have GPS at the moment so keep an eye if there's any traffic

  6. Antonio GIOVINAZZIAlfa Romeo11:18:010:11

    EngineerOver the line, charge on, charge on. Yeah,

    Antonio GIOVINAZZIrear is gone already.

    EngineerSo cool down as much as possible and then we try another time-lapse.

  7. Charles LECLERCFerrari11:19:010:06

    EngineerWe are losing just at turns one two and three the rest is fine

  8. Charles LECLERCFerrari11:20:180:06

    EngineerAnd we need to maximize full throttle maximize full throttle

  9. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas11:20:570:13

    EngineerKvyat's just boxed, he let out some smoke, possibly some oil on the track, but there's no flags yet or warnings. Okay, and rear temps and pressures are on the low side of this package.

  10. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes11:23:100:11

    EngineerAnd did you feel the track was slippy? I don't know, maybe a little bit, but 10

    Valtteri BOTTAS-11.

    EngineerYeah, we thought for sure after 10-14.

  11. Lando NORRISMcLaren11:24:180:13

    EngineerAnd you were target plus three. Initial throttle was good and shift timing was better. And launch map off is okay. Raikkonen first car time lap, 13 seconds.

  12. Pierre GASLYRed Bull11:26:060:22

    EngineerShape 5, Shape 5 You were ISO Sector 1 to Danny, on half a tenth faster than Danny Sector 2 He didn't close the lap, he had a problem Engine 6, position 3 for performance Ricardo behind, fast start lap Engine 6, position 3

  13. Carlos SAINZMcLaren11:27:320:08

    Carlos SAINZA lot of misfire during that lap, a lot of misfire.

    EngineerCopy.

  14. Lando NORRISMcLaren11:28:320:06

    EngineerThere's currently yellow flags turn 2021 I'll update you

  15. Lando NORRISMcLaren11:29:070:12

    Engineerand there is debris on the track it's you need to stay to the hard right as you come towards the towards turn 22 hard right that's it

  16. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas11:29:390:10

    EngineerSo VSC will stay out. There's debris on the track 20-21, so they're going to recover that, and I'll just tell you where it is.

  17. Daniel RICCIARDORenault11:30:280:09

    EngineerAnd can we go to throttle 7 please, that's 3 o'clock on the multifunction, throttle 7.

  18. Nico HULKENBERGRenault11:31:070:09

    EngineerSo if you can try to work some temperature into the front tires in particular now and also brakes Nico also brakes

  19. Nico HULKENBERGRenault11:34:170:17

    EngineerMiko, how much of a feel do you have for the car?

    Nico HULKENBERGA one lap feel, it was okay, I

    Engineerwould

    Nico HULKENBERGhave liked to do another lap obviously. Yeah, so we

    Engineercan go out and do another lap on these but then we'll be down to about a five minute turnaround on the last run.

  20. Lando NORRISMcLaren11:38:160:07

    EngineerThere'll be two burnouts and a launch, remember the slightly higher target.

  21. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes11:39:480:05

    Engineerdisregard via temperatures

  22. George RUSSELLWilliams11:41:460:11

    George RUSSELLWe need to sort the Velcro again on my belts, just the return of the belt is still a bit flapping around a bit.

    EngineerCopy, understood.

  23. Carlos SAINZMcLaren11:44:060:14

    EngineerYeah, pretty good Carlos. Corner speed similar to yesterday. Good gain compared to yesterday in turn 21 as you might expect. And still a little bit to find on the straights which we understand.

  24. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes11:45:000:11

    EngineerSo if you're going for double cool down there's an option to change flap in the box or if you're happy let us know

  25. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:47:360:06

    EngineerSo just got Stroll coming now, next car is Giovannazzi.

  26. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas11:48:110:11

    EngineerOkay, so watch for Leclerc, Leclerc starting to push now, just let Leclerc through, he's four behind, three behind, two, one, watch for Leclerc.

  27. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes11:49:180:15

    EngineerSo let us know if you want to do starts or try to take another lap. I suggest you do the starts. Yeah, starts. OK, so practice quality in lap. Max speed 180.

  28. Carlos SAINZMcLaren11:50:360:11

    EngineerOkay Carl, so remember it's early g-lat turn 1. Consider torque 7 after turn 5, and the approach you did last time in 18-19 was good.

  29. Nico HULKENBERGRenault11:51:190:06

    EngineerBreak temperature up please Nico if possible, break temperature.

  30. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas11:53:300:06

    EngineerOK, we'll have a bit more full throttle to recharge the battery, a bit more.

  31. Antonio GIOVINAZZIAlfa Romeo11:54:180:10

    EngineerSo, focus braking turn 1, and don't slow down turn 3, don't slow down too much turn 3, the rest is looking fine.

  32. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:55:050:19

    EngineerYou are purple in the middle sector, to Leclerc, down 2.5 tenths, sector 1, practically zero, sector 3.

    Lewis HAMILTONJust repeat that, so up in the middle sector, but down in the

    Engineerfirst and last. Mainly first sector, it's practically zero, final sector.

  33. Pierre GASLYRed Bull11:57:130:06

    EngineerSynchronize first gear when you can, synchronize first gear when you can

  34. Lando NORRISMcLaren11:59:030:07

    EngineerAnd you were plus four to the higher target. Initial throttle was good.
