  1. Alexander ALBONRed Bull13:10:430:13

    EngineerThe

    Alexander ALBONship's already burned.

    EngineerShall

    Alexander ALBONI keep going?

    EngineerFail to fail. Fail to fail.

  2. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull13:19:300:11

    Max VERSTAPPENAgain, the volume is so low, it's incredible to hear you.

    EngineerOK, copy.

  3. Carlos SAINZMcLaren13:27:580:25

    Carlos SAINZI nearly crashed into this guy.

    EngineerHe

    Carlos SAINZwas doing burnouts in the pit lane. That's forbidden.

    EngineerCarlos, burnouts in the pit lane should be allowed. Burnouts by point fines are allowed, just no starts.

    Carlos SAINZYeah, but I nearly crashed.

  4. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes13:30:130:13

    EngineerYour purple is sector 3, still main loss we're seeing is turn 3. Probably

    Lewis HAMILTONtoo deep in.

  5. Alexander ALBONRed Bull13:38:270:22

    Alexander ALBONSomething's strange.

    EngineerMore detail please, more detail.

    Alexander ALBONJust a lot of fronts now, huge fronts, the car's really neutral mid-corner, in low speed and high speed. I think maybe we should take some clap off and go again.

  6. Lance STROLLRacing Point13:42:260:08

    Lance STROLLWhat was Otus doing? He was pitting anyways.

  7. Carlos SAINZMcLaren13:51:540:11

    Carlos SAINZI think I lost the flap again guys, I'm so sorry.

    EngineerCarlos, we need to box this lap then, box this lap.

  8. Sergio PEREZRacing Point14:00:550:08

    EngineerThis first two laps are matching Leclerc at the moment in the same time.

  9. Romain GROSJEANHaas14:01:060:07

    EngineerOkay, dude, we have the track to ourselves at the minute. I'll keep you posted what's going on behind

  10. Romain GROSJEANHaas14:05:540:17

    EngineerGood lap dude, good lap. Ok, let's back off, we'll charge back up. What can we help you with?

    Romain GROSJEANTurn 1 and 3. Rears.

    EngineerUnderstood.

  11. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri14:07:050:04

    EngineerCooldown position is good

  12. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull14:07:380:09

    Max VERSTAPPENThere are so many, so much oversteer on entry.

    EngineerUnderstood, thank you.

  13. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo14:08:080:06

    EngineerOk, we need a bit of full throttle if you can for the battery please.

  14. Carlos SAINZMcLaren14:09:100:20

    EngineerSo Carlos, you're P3 with that lap. Most cars are on the medium tyre. Watch for Giovinazzi. Grosjean on hard has done a 7.8. The two Alfa Tauris are on hard as well, but no time yet.

  15. Romain GROSJEANHaas14:10:400:11

    EngineerThe

    Romain GROSJEANcar is very inconsistent, those laps, I don't know where it's coming from.

    EngineerOk, we'll look.

  16. Esteban OCONRenault14:13:490:07

    EngineerThe

    Esteban OCONwind is big.

    EngineerCopy.

  17. Charles LECLERCFerrari14:14:050:18

    EngineerGPS is not working fine for us, so be careful with the mirrors What

    Charles LECLERCdid you say about the RS? The RS? I felt it, I felt it, yeah And

    EngineerGPS is not working, so difficult for me for traffic

  18. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas14:16:180:12

    Kevin MAGNUSSENDo we have time for one more time?

    EngineerYes. Yeah, go for it. Okay to push so remember mode push

  19. Sebastian VETTELFerrari14:17:100:09

    EngineerWell, do we have time for one more? Yes, we do. Yeah, then I'll take one more.

  20. George RUSSELLWilliams14:19:060:13

    EngineerOkay, I'll try and get the VLM sweep, VLM 2 out of turn 1 I can't get over VLM, it's not possible. VLM out of 3? If you can, VLM 3 out of 3 if you can

  21. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes14:19:140:10

    Engineermy shifting isn't working, I can't shift the gear

  22. Sergio PEREZRacing Point14:22:280:11

    Sergio PEREZClose apiece.

    EngineerSo check it, you're two tenths quicker than Lance, matching Verstappen.

  23. Lance STROLLRacing Point14:22:530:11

    Lance STROLLCan't get a clean lap. I'm losing grip in the tires.

  24. Romain GROSJEANHaas14:26:350:15

    EngineerCheck the brake system, that was very strange. Ok, we'll look, we'll look. Looks ok, looks ok. That was very weird looking.

  25. Esteban OCONRenault14:26:420:15

    EngineerOK Esteban, remember to use the brakes firmly on the outlap, track will be clear behind. Fastest hard tyre car was Sainz on 5.9.

  26. Lando NORRISMcLaren14:28:050:07

    EngineerAnd let's have 100% pace, 100% pace.

  27. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:28:110:06

    EngineerVerstappen set his time on his third push lap

  28. Esteban OCONRenault14:32:540:09

    EngineerSo, Esteban, it's sector one and sector three where we're losing about a tenth compared to science.

  29. Nicholas LATIFIWilliams14:33:460:06

    EngineerGo cool, go cool, target plus 30, plus 30.

  30. Daniel RICCIARDORenault14:35:210:12

    Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, I struggled with the front and the the high speed

    EngineerOkay understood just a reminder that you can use that front left modifier again

  31. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull14:40:210:27

    EngineerRecharge on. I

    Max VERSTAPPENhave massive understeer, can I box?

    EngineerYeah, box this lap.

    Max VERSTAPPENOk, doesn't make sense to continue.

    EngineerAnd strat 7, strat 7.

    Max VERSTAPPENAfter turn 7 suddenly I have massive understeer, so maybe check the front wing or something?

    EngineerCopy, so box this lap.

  32. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:43:430:11

    EngineerSo to Valtteri, just a little bit of time to find late entry turn 1, and a little bit late entry turn 3, but I think that may have been traffic.

  33. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo14:45:270:34

    EngineerHow many

    Kimi RAIKKONENlaps have we done?

    EngineerWe have done six time laps. We

    Kimi RAIKKONENneed these tires off too soon? Yes, yes. Well, we can start with it on the long run or we change it? No, no, we will start with this one for the long run. I'd like to try it one more lap, just to figure it out.

    EngineerOK, fine, fine.

    Kimi RAIKKONENIf it's not good, I come in.

    EngineerCopy, copy, you can do it. So, mode push then. Watch for if it goes behind.

  34. Esteban OCONRenault14:48:460:09

    EngineerDouble cool down you want to go for two cooldowns? Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's good

  35. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes14:53:590:06

    EngineerSo high-speed, it looks front sliding more than rear.

  36. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:55:360:07

    Engineerand if you can go strat mode 14, 14.

    Lewis HAMILTON14.

    EngineerAffirm

  37. Daniil KVYATAlphaTauri14:58:510:10

    Daniil KVYATI hear some strange noise in the turbine, just for you to check.

    EngineerYeah, we are looking Danny.

  38. George RUSSELLWilliams15:01:080:29

    George RUSSELLI've got a bit of flow vis on my visor, I'll take a tear off when I box, if somebody can be there to collect him. Yeah, copy, just do it before you stop. What do you mean?

    EngineerYou're not going to let it go in the pit lane, you're going to hand it over, eh? Yeah, scraped. Alright, copy that. Alright, bottom's within three.

  39. Daniel RICCIARDORenault15:02:510:10

  42. George RUSSELLWilliams15:07:270:11

    George RUSSELLI have abort launch on the dash.

    EngineerCopy that. I'm going to leave the front wing then. I haven't heard otherwise. It will be okay to pull away.

  43. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo15:09:420:09

    EngineerYeah,

    Kimi RAIKKONENstill a freckling in the last corner.

    EngineerCopy that, yeah, some oversteer there.

  44. Alexander ALBONRed Bull15:13:120:08

    Alexander ALBONIt's too neutral, take away two clicks.

    EngineerCopy.

  45. Nicholas LATIFIWilliams15:14:160:06

    Nicholas LATIFIDo I use DRS to defend or no?

    EngineerNegative

  46. Charles LECLERCFerrari15:17:320:14

    Charles LECLERCMaybe check quickly the handflakes, because Seb took off at

    Engineerthe rough. Yeah,

    Charles LECLERCexactly. And

    Engineertarget just went right.

  47. Sebastian VETTELFerrari15:20:030:07

    EngineerI go for the off-wing. Need a bit more front wing. OK, understood.

    EngineerAnd target lap time 8.6

  51. Sergio PEREZRacing Point15:23:140:08

    EngineerThis pace is very strong if it's going more towards oversteer consider a click forward and brake bounce

  52. Alexander ALBONRed Bull15:24:230:07

    EngineerEngine 14, position 2. Engine 14, position 2.

  53. Esteban OCONRenault15:25:370:06
