EngineerMode push, mode push.

Kevin MAGNUSSENQuite

Engineera bit of understeer. Yeah, okay, that's what we were thinking. So I think entry 22, diff 22 for the next lap and we'll look at other tools.

Kevin MAGNUSSENTorque?

EngineerYeah, torque is fine, you could do a step of torque as well. And also we don't have any rear locking so you could try brake balance rearward. So yeah, you do all three of those, they're all reasonable steps.

EngineerOkay, from your side Robert. Yeah,

Robert KUBICAokay, I spin. I have cold tires and I spin on the last corner. So I'm in the pit lane, I go pass by and I go out again.

EngineerOkay, copy that.

Nico HULKENBERGYeah, like now I go to scenario 8, but at this blade the dash says scenario 14, one of them examples.

EngineerCopy that Niko, it's showing you the recharge on selection at the moment for some reason, don't fully understand why.

Nico HULKENBERGIt's been like that for a while actually.

EngineerOkay, copy.

EngineerConsider diff open. Diff open turns four and five.

Lando NORRISScenario 5 is correct.

EngineerYep, that's correct, Scenario 5 is good. And there's a little bit to be had braking Turn 1, and just watch how wide you go Turn 13.

Carlos SAINZOK, I need to box. I broke the right hand clutch paddle, when you need it.

EngineerCopy. I

Carlos SAINZmean, I could run, but I cannot find it, so I don't know where it is in

Engineerthe

Carlos SAINZcockpit.

EngineerOK, copy.

EngineerYou can take a second cooldown lap if you think is necessary, so your purple Sector 2 and Sector 3. I'll need

Valtteri BOTTASanother cooldown lap.

EngineerYeah, go for it.

EngineerSo Lewis, compared to Leclerc on the hard tyre, so just down the tenth sector one but up a tenth and a half sector two. The main losses to Leclerc look to be just on straights.

Alexander ALBONOK, uh, balance wise, it felt like now I'm getting even more disconnected to the car from low speed to high speed, so on that last push it felt like I had enough room to stay at high speed.

EngineerAnd just a reminder, if you're going straight into turn one or two, there's the bollard there. And you can try a step rearwards on brake balance for turn one.

EngineerOK, that's good, we'll take the slow lap, so rear's overheating, so target plus 40 on go out lap, go out lap plus 40, we can afford to drop the front as well.

Charles LECLERCWhere am I losing?

EngineerWe are losing 2 and 3 and 13

Alexander ALBONI think we still have that problem with the brakes, it seems like as soon as they get cold, when I brake, the car turns there. Yeah, I can confirm that, it's still there. But yeah, balance wise, so as I said before, medium speed, car feels more connected.

EngineerChecker we'll do two cool laps, we'll do two cool laps, that'll help us with charge as well as tyres.

Engineerokay Carlos Vettel ahead is showing as being on a new soft but he's already run two sets this session Vettel could well be high fuel

EngineerWhat's the limitation, Dani?

Daniil KVYATYeah, a bit of snaps, like unexpected snaps in turn 7, and a bit in turn 12, kind of rear is a bit stepping out sometimes.

EngineerOK Lewis, so it looks like the clerk went for a double call and then managed to improve on his time, so let's do that, go for a double call down You've got KVAT behind 12 seconds

Lewis HAMILTONI'll do a drive through

EngineerI need more wing OK, copy, let us know how much

Lewis HAMILTON2 holes

EngineerOK, copy

Max VERSTAPPENI lost power suddenly, it's going now but I was accelerating and it was not well with the pedal but it was not accelerating.

EngineerOkay standby, happy for you to continue at this stage, I'll keep you posted.

Engineerso tyre temperatures are pretty much good where they are now a hundred front so a good break into turn 10 to maintain brake temp

EngineerTry to drive us on Sunday, before the race. Yeah, yeah.

EngineerAnd Lando we suggest trying the left hand toggle in turn 5 and turn 7. That's left hand toggle turn 5, turn 7.

EngineerFor reference, Nico, McLaren started their first time-lapse slightly slower, around about 24.0, and are now mid to high 23s.

EngineerSo Nico's lap times were 23.5 and he had front graining after about four laps.

EngineerSo Lance we should get 8 on this tyre and 13 on the next tyre. 8 and 13. Pit stop in between.

EngineerAnd we need multifunction DO position 4, DO position 4, Sebastian 22.8, same compound.

EngineerAnd target lap time 22.8, 22.8

EngineerJust think about throttle application before the first or second shift.

EngineerClutch position 1% deep.

EngineerClutch position was deep, 2%

Lewis HAMILTONYeah, that's deliberate, there's

Engineera

Lewis HAMILTONlot of grip

EngineerOK, copy

George RUSSELLStill struggling entry of one rear instability

EngineerOk Kimi, your brakes are too hot, so either we move the brake balance reward or we start some lift and coast.

Kimi RAIKKONENIs there something we can remove? First stop.

EngineerOk Kimi, we will box this lap.

Daniel RICCIARDOBalance is fairly consistent at the moment, both axles fairly even.

EngineerOK, understood.

EngineerCarlos this is still looking strong the Haas cars currently are around 124 our dag looks good

George RUSSELLLike this snap there entry of four. This is what I'm feeling everywhere I've got nothing guys on the rear entry. I'm doing everything with tools and I've still got instability

EngineerCopy that. Stand by. We'll look to come down on the wing for the next set

Daniel RICCIARDOWhat's

Engineerthe

Daniel RICCIARDOmedium pace at the moment?

EngineerCurrently I only see Vettel on the mediums, the rest is also just doing outlaps, I'll keep you updated. So for info Vettel was doing 23.2 on the soft and is now doing 22.5 on the mediums.

EngineerNico, could we have PU13 position 4 please?

EngineerOkay, so for pace update Fiat is doing 22.4 22.5 on the mediums

Max VERSTAPPENIt's still the same, I try all

Engineerthe things, but the corner is the same problem. Display 11, display 11, position 5, that's a more stable push toggle for that sector.

EngineerJust do your thing. Two more laps, two more laps. Ricciardo on fresh C2 tyres.

Max VERSTAPPENStruggling a lot on entry to mid-corner.

EngineerUnderstood, just track it with the overrun if you can.

EngineerOK, give me box, box. OK, we will not do the change in the pit stop. It takes too long, so stop on the marks. We will pull you in the garage and change the brake. Pulling. And we need the brake. We will just put the car back in the garage and we believe we have some debris on the brake duct, so we need to investigate. If

Kimi RAIKKONENwe go out with the SM?

EngineerWe will go out on medium the next set, if

Kimi RAIKKONENthat's OK. Yeah, but we need to add on this, we would have needed one.

EngineerOn this set you mean, if we are going out again?

Kimi RAIKKONENYeah, just to help the high speed a bit.

EngineerOkay, so pace update, so Kviat is doing about 22.7, Magnussen 22.8 on the mediums.

EngineerStruggling.

Lewis HAMILTONYeah, something feels wrong.

EngineerYeah, looks like we're having poor torque following on overrun, so if we go HPP 3 to 1.

EngineerWe're just going to go into a fast, slow, fast sequence, Nico. So the next lap will be Scenario 8, please. Scenario 8.

EngineerWe can go back to mode push now, back to mode push.

EngineerAnd that is the chequered flag, so we are boxers lap, you can push on the in-lap if you like.

EngineerI

Nico HULKENBERGfeel on the hard that the rear is quite poor, especially into the low speed. The stability is very poor, a lot of really big slides into the low speed.
