The session, message by message

  1. Alexander ALBONRed Bull14:08:220:06

    EngineerAnd remember, let's get straight into these tyres please. Track is clear, track is clear.

  2. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas14:10:080:07

    EngineerI had a bit too much understeer in low speed. Yeah, okay, we'll look at if we can do something there for you.

  3. Alexander ALBONRed Bull14:10:480:08

    EngineerJust think about your pace here, tyres are still probably in the window at the end of that lap so I don't think you need to go too slowly.

  4. Romain GROSJEANHaas14:12:200:06

    EngineerSo front brakes are cool, front brakes are cool, if you can do some warming before turn one that'd be good.

  5. Alexander ALBONRed Bull14:13:340:17

    EngineerAnd if you've got a feeling for that, we'll box this lap. Keep up the pace on the way in.

    Alexander ALBONWhat's up with the Delta?

    EngineerYeah, understood. We understand the issue. That last lap for you was a 22.3. That was half a second gain on the first lap.

  6. Esteban OCONRenault14:17:230:09

    Esteban OCONHow's the front wing? I did hit the kerb again.

    EngineerNo sign of any damage from numbers but obviously that's not the whole story.

  7. Esteban OCONRenault14:20:300:06

    EngineerWe are coming through. You might need to use him to get a turn on the start-finish straight. We don't have any other opportunities.

  8. Charles LECLERCFerrari14:21:490:10

    EngineerAnd watch for track limits, turn 11 Track limits, turn 11 We

    Charles LECLERCgot the lap cancelled?

    EngineerYes, that is correct

  9. Charles LECLERCFerrari14:24:020:13

    Charles LECLERCIt's weird that they can't sell the lap, huh? I mean, show me the onboard when I get in, because it didn't feel like I was out of the track, but yeah, just for reference.

  10. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:24:580:06

    EngineerAnd it just looks like we didn't have that fully reset, so it probably just needs a little push

  11. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull14:26:000:06

    EngineerSlightly slower cool down lap this time please Max. Cool the tyres.

  12. Alexander ALBONRed Bull14:26:420:09

    EngineerAnything we can help you with on balance, Alex, around the lap? Question?

    Alexander ALBONNo, it's OK.

    EngineerOK, understood.

  13. George RUSSELLWilliams14:27:240:07

    George RUSSELLShould we put this in lap?

    EngineerNo, we'll do that on the quali tyre and at the end of high fuel.

  14. George RUSSELLWilliams14:28:350:10

    George RUSSELLThe light was good, into 10, into 8 sorry.

    EngineerCopy that. Gently on the brakes to 11, calipers are hot.

    George RUSSELLCopy.

  15. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes14:31:070:09

    EngineerOkay, so good improvement there. Main lacking is sector 3, 3 tenths there. Sector 1 and sector 2 are good.

  16. Nicholas LATIFIWilliams14:40:340:11

    EngineerNicky, you're okay with that quickflip last round? I can't

    Nicholas LATIFIsee which one it is yet, but I'll fix it on the outbound.

    EngineerJust your bottom left.

  17. Carlos SAINZMcLaren14:42:140:09

    EngineerOK Carl, so that's P3. The car looks quite neutral.

    Carlos SAINZYeah, picked up some extra front there maybe from the setup.

  18. Carlos SAINZMcLaren14:47:480:07

    EngineerCarlos, is the car okay?

    Carlos SAINZNot sure, I went through quite a lot of gravel.

    EngineerCopy, so we're boxed this lap.

  19. Nicholas LATIFIWilliams14:49:180:06

    EngineerRespect the shift point for 7th, turn 6. Even

    Nicholas LATIFIthough I'm braking for the corner.

  20. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo14:54:430:26

    Kimi RAIKKONENOur own guy is in front of me, so it's impossible to come to the box.

    EngineerOkay, we'll have a look.

    Kimi RAIKKONENIt's the guy who was standing there.

    EngineerYou mean the Marshal?

    Kimi RAIKKONENOur own, team guy, standing here. Okay. Behind the... the racing point.

    EngineerOkay, copy. We'll have a chat.

  21. Alexander ALBONRed Bull14:56:170:05

    Alexander ALBONWe need all migration and the brakes turned on.

  22. George RUSSELLWilliams15:06:340:19

    George RUSSELLSomething does not really feel right with the ride over these bumps, but please keep an eye on it. About 150-200 metres before braking, turn 1, there's a weird bounce from the car.

  23. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull15:08:390:07

    EngineerAre you going to have to let Leclerc and Perez through now?

    Max VERSTAPPENNo, I don't think so. It's fine.

  24. Carlos SAINZMcLaren15:10:100:06

    EngineerLaunch map off, launch map off, see if it affects drivability.

  25. Romain GROSJEANHaas15:11:130:14

    EngineerYeah, we had lap time deleted at turn 11 last lap Yeah, they need to review the thing. I wasn't out I am 100% positive. I wasn't out Copy that

  26. Carlos SAINZMcLaren15:11:400:06

    EngineerThe pace looks competitive, most cars a couple of tenths slower than FP1, so this looks good.

  27. Romain GROSJEANHaas15:12:570:06

    EngineerI could try exit management turn 5 to help rear tyre temps.

  28. Charles LECLERCFerrari15:18:150:11

    Charles LECLERCI've got shattering like crazy and then it's going all the speed all over the place.

  29. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri15:19:030:10

    Pierre GASLYSomething feels a bit odd at the back of the car, it's like bouncing. Okay, we are checking. The wheels are very, very strange.

  30. Daniel RICCIARDORenault15:21:280:08

    Daniel RICCIARDOYep, they're pretty consistent.

    EngineerA

    Daniel RICCIARDOlittle bit of deck, both axles.

    EngineerOkay, understood.

  31. George RUSSELLWilliams15:22:030:06

    George RUSSELLThe understeer field was in 9, but turned 10.

  32. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo15:23:520:05

    EngineerOk Kimi, can you try the overtake button on the pit straight please?

  33. Carlos SAINZMcLaren15:24:240:17

    EngineerCarlos we need one lap in scenario seven with press and hold overtake if you think that you need another lap before you have a go at Grosjean then let's wait a lap no overtake but on this lap otherwise it's scenario seven and five seconds press and hold overtake on start finish

  34. Daniel RICCIARDORenault15:24:550:08

    EngineerIt says cool the gas, so I'll cool it a little bit, if that's alright. Yep, that's fine, you've got a 5 second gap to Magnussen behind.

  35. Esteban OCONRenault15:26:450:06

    EngineerOK Esteban, all good with tyre management, just a little bit on the edge with the slips at the exit of Turn 2.

  36. Lando NORRISMcLaren15:27:250:18

    EngineerThere's time to do slow and push. Not sure if the tyre will do it. Thoughts? I've

    Lando NORRISalready lost the race. I mean if you've only got time to do another one then I may as well.

    EngineerOkay, so there is time for slow and then push.

  37. Antonio GIOVINAZZIAlfa Romeo15:30:540:09

    Antonio GIOVINAZZII took the flag, I think.

    EngineerNo, keep pushing, keep pushing.

    Antonio GIOVINAZZIIt was radioed.

    EngineerYou can continue, go.

  38. Daniel RICCIARDORenault15:31:480:07

    EngineerOK, mate, I'll look decent from our side.

    Daniel RICCIARDOOK. Yep, felt all right.
