The session, message by message

  1. Carlos SAINZMcLaren10:16:010:07

    EngineerIt's a 10k tailwind braking for turn three.

  2. Alexander ALBONRed Bull10:21:050:09

    Alexander ALBONWhy are we so out of sync? Can I just double close to get it to sync?

  3. Nicholas LATIFIWilliams10:24:070:05

    Nicholas LATIFISorry guys

  4. Nicholas LATIFIWilliams10:29:180:15

    EngineerI

    Nicholas LATIFIcrashed, guys. Are you okay, mate? Are you okay? Yeah. Sorry, guys.

  5. Lance STROLLRacing Point10:53:020:13

    Lance STROLLOn this lap, can I take temperature out of the tires? Copy that. I don't want to hit the brakes so hard.

    EngineerYeah.

  6. Lance STROLLRacing Point10:56:300:06

    Lance STROLLCrepes finito!

  7. Carlos SAINZMcLaren11:09:160:05

    EngineerBrakes are coming in well, just need the recharge button.

  8. Carlos SAINZMcLaren11:14:330:09

    EngineerOkay, careful with the peak brake pressure into turn three on the limit of front locking there.

  9. George RUSSELLWilliams11:19:070:13

    George RUSSELLTyres do not feel very well balanced at all. Worse than yesterday.

    EngineerCopy.

  10. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull11:21:570:11

    EngineerOK, so compared to the fastest medium tyre runner, Bottas in P2 a 5.4, Ewer a 5.6, Hamilton first lap also a 5.6.

  11. Esteban OCONRenault11:23:280:10

    EngineerOkay Esteban, you're carrying a little bit more speed than Daniel into 7th and losing a little bit on the exit.

  12. Alexander ALBONRed Bull11:25:360:14

    Alexander ALBONYeah we are locking a lot, I think it's

    Engineera

    Alexander ALBONzero tailwind into turn 3, but we're locking, we need more migration than what we have.

  13. Lance STROLLRacing Point11:35:040:15

    Lance STROLLI think I have to do a hard out lap now.

    EngineerCopy that, yeah. Front temperatures and pressures on the low side, so work on front temperature, pressures low.

  14. Carlos SAINZMcLaren11:37:030:06

    EngineerOkay, remember, cool down lap should be 10 seconds slower than run one.

  15. Sebastian VETTELFerrari11:37:500:05

    EngineerCrank is clear. You can push.

  16. Lando NORRISMcLaren11:38:560:08

    Engineerand try and warm the front tires a bit if you can warm the fronts if you can

  17. Charles LECLERCFerrari11:41:070:09

    EngineerThe only loss braking on apex for turn 4, turn 4 braking

  18. Esteban OCONRenault11:42:590:03

    EngineerRecharge on.

  19. Sebastian VETTELFerrari11:45:100:11

    EngineerWanna take one more, we have time, or are you happy there?

    Sebastian VETTELYeah, I'll take one more, I'll try to bring the tyres down.

  20. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:47:180:13

    EngineerThere's a little bit of time you can find exit to turn 4. Turn 4 is just a bit of a compromise. Entry versus exit. Gain on entry, lose a little on exit.

  21. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes11:48:560:17

    EngineerOK, so we're running out of time. We could take another lap with a single cool down. It'll be strat 11 if there's no point and the tyres down, we're boxing. No, the tyres are going, so box. Box, box, box. So you can drive through for a flap adjust.

  22. Lance STROLLRacing Point11:50:420:06

    Engineertires in good position tires in good position it will be go one

  23. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull11:52:230:14

    EngineerEngine 5, position 2, engine 5, position 2, and it'll be a double slow lap for us mate, double slow.

  24. Alexander ALBONRed Bull11:53:370:18

    Alexander ALBONMuch better. I don't know how it is in pace, but car feels pretty good Still a bit of understeer in corner in the low speed

    EngineerCopy

  25. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull11:54:340:11

    Max VERSTAPPENCan we box? The tyres are not improving.

    EngineerYep, we are boxing. Pick up the pace please.

  26. Romain GROSJEANHaas11:57:290:07

    EngineerAnd biggest loss was turn 3 apex speed.

  27. Sergio PEREZRacing Point11:58:470:08

    EngineerSo we can afford to cool the tires a little bit more, but you need to brake temp before the end of the lap.

  28. Alexander ALBONRed Bull11:59:300:12

    EngineerAlex, we'd prefer to stay out for a practice launch. We'd prefer to stay out for a practice launch. One minute until the checkered flag.

  29. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull12:00:300:13

    EngineerCool the car if you can please mate.

    Max VERSTAPPENWhy am I in tyre 5 while I'm on these tyres?

    EngineerJust follow the dash. I have to leave it? OK. Yep, just leave it there. Thank you.

  30. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull12:01:360:07

    EngineerThen a gear one launch on the right hand side right hand side

  31. Carlos SAINZMcLaren12:03:440:07

    EngineerOk Carlos, cool the car, cool the car. We're going to stop at the FIA scales and do some checks.

  32. Lance STROLLRacing Point12:04:100:08

    EngineerRemember to keep your helmet on whilst you get weighed, and keep your helmet on whilst you get weighed.
