The session, message by message
Antonio GIOVINAZZISteering is not straight here, it's completely to the right. Fit lane.
EngineerCopy, fit lane.
Valtteri BOTTASWhich is a lot more flat, there's massive atmosphere.
EngineerCopy, so you're driving through, and let me know how much flap.
Valtteri BOTTASPlus five
Pierre GASLYA lot of mid-corner washout.
EngineerHow was the bounce initially? Just no rear grip. It
Alexander ALBONfeels like we got oversteer entry to mid, but it's progressive so it feels worse at mid corner than it does at one entry.
EngineerOkay, understood.
Pierre GASLYThe balance is quite tricky, quite disconnected from entry to mid
EngineerOk understood, engine 9, position 9, we can close the def entry
EngineerLet me know if you want a front wing adjustment mate, I looked a little bit on the nose, confirm?
Max VERSTAPPENI was both on the nose and understeer at high speed, so let's leave it.
EngineerOK, understood.
George RUSSELLThe rear field is very light, mid to exit of 7 all the way through 8 and 9.
Romain GROSJEANI keep checking what's going on I've got no rear end boys.
EngineerI
Romain GROSJEANknow tires are cool but almost feels like the suspension is not.
EngineerI
Romain GROSJEANdon't know like one wheel is turning and like a rear wheel steering.
EngineerOkay, that has put your P1, 19.4.
Alexander ALBONIt feels like when we're not braking we have understeer mid-corner but still a light entry when we have braking involved it tends to be obviously entry to mid but still a little bit of understeer mid-corner
EngineerKeep recharge off and mode 14, but we are not using the battery at all copy
EngineerNice improvements on lap time there, so 20.4 in the hard, that's not bad at all.
George RUSSELLIs the rear right tyre value correct?
EngineerYeah, rear right not working.
EngineerSo Carlos, it looks like second half of the lap. You need to get a better exit, earlier apex and better exit from the two parabolicers and more apex speed and better exit in the chicane.
EngineerJust monitoring the situation with lap times, not many people improving here on second push laps but I'll keep you posted.
Alexander ALBONThe front's overheating pretty badly across the lap.
EngineerYour front tires are now cooling which is all good. I think that's still a good place. I'll keep cooling them for now
Pierre GASLYI got to do something for turn 7, it's so much worse out.
EngineerOk, copy that, we'll find something for P2. There is nothing we can do with the maps now, we've checked already. We'll fix it for the next session.
Lando NORRISAnd the box for a front wing, down two
EngineerWe've got to stroll at two and a half, and it'd be Diffinit 8, Diffinit 8, stroll car behind.
