EngineerHow is the balance?

Pietro FITTIPALDIThe balance is pretty good.

EngineerI

Pietro FITTIPALDIjust kind of had to get used to the speed a little bit again, but the balance is pretty good right now.

Engineerand Pietro we think for the next push when we get to the next push lap we think left hand toggle in one could help you

Pietro FITTIPALDIcopy

EngineerOur fronts were just a little bit on the cool side at the beginning of that push lap dude, that's why we're asking for a little bit quicker slowdowns.

Pietro FITTIPALDIYeah I over pushed a bit in

Engineerthe

Pietro FITTIPALDIlast corner, lost all my time there.

EngineerCopy that.

Pietro FITTIPALDIYeah, I mean, I locked up. I got a bit of vibration on it.

EngineerOkay Pietro we could try pushing again on the next lap we just need a bit of speed into the last corner and we'll just judge the vibration if you feel it's too much please say It's quite a bit but I mean I could try doing a lap like this

Lando NORRISIt's everything okay? It's like not... it's quite... like doesn't feel clean. Understood, checking.

EngineerJust a message exit of turn 8 was close to exceeding track limit

Lando NORRISI think I'm

Engineergoing

Lando NORRISto have to do another cool down after this just to be in phase.

EngineerOkay understood, they might go for two as well though, Ocon two.

Nicholas LATIFIGuys, come on, with Jack, what was that? We need better communication. He was weaving in

Engineerfront

Nicholas LATIFIof me in the last corner. Yeah, understood. Focus on your cool, mate. We'll talk about it after.

George RUSSELLYeah, that was a bit scrappy with traffic, but the tyre's

Engineernot right. There's a metal car behind, two and a half.

Carlos SAINZBox 4, front wing.

EngineerCopy, boxes lap, boxes lap.

EngineerOkay, now it's like the rear brakes. We're lucky on the last corner Okay, okay. Watch the whole whole behind pushing. Okay. Okay. We are we can look let's cover. Don't worry. We're on it

Alexander ALBONWhat is this retirement doing?

EngineerNot sure

EngineerAlex, do you want to try adding some front wing and going again? Yes. Okay, understood. What do you think, four or five clicks?

Alexander ALBONThree.

EngineerOkay, understood.

Max VERSTAPPENI can hear the radio like in the corner

Daniil KVYATWhat was this f***ing understeer in NASCAR? I don't know it.

EngineerDo you want to take one more with double cool down or are you happy there? Double cool down, yeah we'll try. I was quite happy there though, but

Sebastian VETTELwe have to try.

EngineerOK George, all clear behind at the moment, so it's currently P2, just under 4 tenths to bow through P1, main loss is braking minimum speed turn 1, also a little bit braking turn 4, and braking turn 7. Yeah, copy, just struggling with the rear turn 1, poor traction, had a big snap. OK, copy.

Nicholas LATIFILast corner was still compromised with traffic.

EngineerNice lap dude, nice lap, charge on, charge on

EngineerStraight line braking, turn 4.

Antonio GIOVINAZZIYeah, it was again a traffic there. Anyway, it

Engineerwill

Antonio GIOVINAZZIbe the show today.

Daniil KVYATWhy is Carlos cutting the chicane? For what? Is it allowed?

EngineerNo, it's not. We'll let the race director know.

EngineerYeah,

Pietro FITTIPALDIkeep over driving the last corner a little bit there. I lost a little bit there again. Sorry.

EngineerAh, no problem, man. Clear for learning. It doesn't matter yet. We can go through all the data and we'll be in a good spot for qualifying. Good session, mate. You built that up nicely. We're getting closer and closer to Kevin.
