The session, message by message

  1. Alexander ALBONRed Bull10:21:350:05

    Alexander ALBONInitial balance feels pretty good, just ties the cold.

  2. Lance STROLLRacing Point10:24:040:06

    EngineerTyres are still on the low side in temperature tyres on the low side

  3. Alexander ALBONRed Bull10:25:200:09

    Alexander ALBONA bit different locking in the brake, turn 1, tyres feel a bit cold through there OK,

    Engineerunderstood

  4. Daniil KVYATAlphaTauri10:29:460:15

    Daniil KVYATThe rear is a bit limiting factor at the moment, between 1 and 2, the reaction is quite good, but the rear a bit snaps in between the two.

  5. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri10:36:030:06

    EngineerWe have a bit of a delta on the brakes, we may have a bit of pulling turn 1.

  6. Carlos SAINZMcLaren10:36:380:10

    EngineerMost time to find Carlos is the last two corners. First half of the lap looks good. Last two corners, maybe a little bit also in Lesmo 2.

  7. Lance STROLLRacing Point10:41:440:14

    Lance STROLLWhat were they doing? That was so dangerous, what they were doing into Turn 4. Two cars side by side like that.

    EngineerUnderstood, we'll report it.

  8. Alexander ALBONRed Bull10:44:280:08

    Alexander ALBONEveryone's not very good at getting out of the way.

    EngineerYeah, I know, it's Hamilton again, understood.

  9. Esteban OCONRenault10:46:520:09

    EngineerSo Verstappen went off and took his front wing off against the barrier. He got going again, he's ahead of the queue of cars in front of you.

  10. Esteban OCONRenault10:47:250:05

    Esteban OCONMcLaren didn't make too much effort behind to stop well

  11. Lando NORRISMcLaren10:50:220:13

    EngineerI

    Lando NORRISthink it's it's getting quite dangerous with how slow people are going and they're just driving on the racing line and so on I don't know. I think they need to say something

    EngineerOkay, understood

  12. Romain GROSJEANHaas10:54:300:04

    EngineerPossible gravel exit turn 5.

  13. Carlos SAINZMcLaren10:56:190:08

    EngineerOkay Carlos, so obviously we're leaving with the pack. Make sure you warm the front right on the outlap where you can.

  14. Romain GROSJEANHaas10:58:310:09

    Romain GROSJEANOK, the bomb is... Am I going to get a two on the next nub anywhere or not?

    EngineerUnlikely. Albon two seconds back on a push.

  15. Carlos SAINZMcLaren11:03:240:24

    EngineerOK Carlos, we're sticking to the plan. Lando currently the car behind, so you can let him through. Lando, get me a tow already.

    Carlos SAINZI've had a

    Engineerbit of a bad one, because I had traffic jamming the whole lap. Yeah, copy. He was trying to do a timed lap, it was a bad lap, so he thought he'd just help you out. So this time we'll do it properly.

  16. Lando NORRISMcLaren11:06:330:07

    EngineerAnd we are boxed this lap.

    Lando NORRISNo, I want to go again. Ok, understood. I've

    Engineerdone

    Lando NORRISone lap.

  17. Alexander ALBONRed Bull11:09:080:19

    Alexander ALBONI would like to try something just a bit more understeer with cornering, switching for 5, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

    EngineerUnderstood

    Alexander ALBONIt's alright in 11, it's actually pretty good, it's just that medium speed where I just need to lean on the fronts

  18. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri11:11:510:23

    Pierre GASLYOkay, I want to come back on the chain because now the front is not biting at the apex anymore

    EngineerOkay, understood from our numbers it looks pretty good, but cope with that

    Pierre GASLYYeah, we'll have to get the stability from somewhere else, but Yeah, I'm giving away too much front grip at the apex

  19. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes11:17:380:05

    EngineerSo expected pace will be low 25s.

  20. Daniil KVYATAlphaTauri11:23:250:05

    Daniil KVYATYeah, I think for my shot it's to the left, but...

  21. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes11:23:320:06

    EngineerA reminder for management of the 11 and 6.

  22. Carlos SAINZMcLaren11:24:070:07

    EngineerFor second chicane consider right hand side toggle for stability. Right hand side toggle, second chicane.

  23. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo11:25:490:40

    EngineerDid we lock the rear or was there something wrong with the DRS closing? Oh, OK, we're having a look. So, Bottas 5 seconds behind. OK, after Bottas you have the two Williams. But how far they are from him? They are 2 seconds behind Bottas, 2 or 4 seconds behind you. OK, the only thing we saw in turn 1 is you didn't deactivate manually the DRS. Yes, I know, I know, but did he have an issue because of that or not? No, no, it doesn't look like. And mode push, all OK, Kimi, all OK.

  24. Sergio PEREZRacing Point11:27:160:08

    EngineerLet's check it. Consider one click forward brake balance, one click forward brake balance to help the rear tyres.

  25. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull11:28:230:13

    Max VERSTAPPENYeah, I think he's stuck

    EngineerCopy. Okay, it looks like he might be moving Yeah, he's back on track Prep yourself for another lap, please Max

  26. Lando NORRISMcLaren11:29:490:06

    EngineerLando we've had multiple warnings track limits turn 11

  27. Esteban OCONRenault11:30:190:07

    EngineerOk Esteban, I'm going to ask you to press and hold the overtake button out of turn 7 for 5 seconds please.

  28. Lando NORRISMcLaren11:30:460:04

    EngineerThat's the checkered flag, keep pushing on the inlap if you want.
