The session, message by message

  1. Roy NISSANYWilliams10:31:390:06

    EngineerOkay right and using DRS again so you'll have to sync the gears manually

  2. Callum ILOTTAlfa Romeo10:34:350:05

    EngineerMore push, more push.

  3. ZHOU GuanyuAlpine10:35:440:07

    EngineerAnd then it will be recharged.

  4. Charles LECLERCFerrari10:36:040:05

    Charles LECLERCI got quite a big flat spot.

  5. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo10:36:120:07

    EngineerOk, Kimi, mode charge on the line, and again, single charge should be enough.

  6. Carlos SAINZFerrari10:38:040:15

    Carlos SAINZYeah, I don't know why the tires feel very different to last week and in turn 1. They feel very cold. I will push again.

    EngineerUnderstood.

  7. Sergio PEREZRed Bull10:39:310:11

    EngineerSo second gear again, and tyre 5, tyre 5, b-bar 6, b-bar 6.

  8. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes10:40:000:06

    EngineerAnd we've had a couple of lights deleted for track limits turn 10.

  9. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull10:40:310:06

    EngineerAnd tyre 5 please. Tyre 5.

  10. Daniel RICCIARDOMcLaren10:41:270:16

    EngineerSo Daniel, that was another good step, that lap. I think turn four we didn't quite get what we wanted. Still need to maximise more phase one and release, whereas that lap you were more like peak and then a bit more the triangular brake shape.

  11. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull10:44:290:09

    EngineerHow was the balance on that first time lap on this tyre?

    Max VERSTAPPENYeah, not too bad. I think I felt quite okay.

  12. Callum ILOTTAlfa Romeo10:45:080:20

    EngineerSo for the next push, focus turn 6, 7 and 9.

    Callum ILOTTWhat do you want me to focus on in 5, 6, 7, 9? The exits, or...? So

    Engineertry to carry a bit more speeds out. OK, copy.

  13. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo10:46:200:05

  15. Roy NISSANYWilliams10:47:450:12

    Roy NISSANYand exit

    Engineerfree if you can it's feeling free so feeling free that's 246th gear and again DRS off for two seconds then DRS on

  16. Yuki TSUNODAAlphaTauri10:48:410:17

    Yuki TSUNODAFast peak corner was way better, was much better

    EngineerCopy that

    Yuki TSUNODAShall we try to add one more step of the entry stability in fast peak corner?

    EngineerCopy, straight 7, straight 7

  17. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull10:49:500:09

    EngineerI'll come behind. I'm not sure what he was up to to be honest.

  18. Daniel RICCIARDOMcLaren10:51:230:15

    EngineerSo on that last lap we need to brake later turn three and definitely turn four Possibly even a bit turn one. I guess the time maybe didn't quite feel ready. Hopefully on another attempt. It'll be okay

  19. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri10:52:400:12

    Pierre GASLYHow is the wind? I keep losing the car in turn 9.

    EngineerOk, we check. Wind is very, very low. It's not the wind.

  20. Sebastian VETTELAston Martin10:53:330:16

    EngineerIf you would like a flap adjust we could come through the pits and do one? Yeah we could come up a little bit, half a degree.

  21. Nicholas LATIFIWilliams10:56:540:09

    Nicholas LATIFII just felt something at the back of my heel, like a stone or something maybe when I braked.

  22. Charles LECLERCFerrari10:58:120:05

    Charles LECLERCI'm struggling like crazy in the first corner.

  23. ZHOU GuanyuAlpine10:58:490:13

    EngineerOk, how was the balance of that lap?

    ZHOU GuanyuIt was ok, a bit of understeer.

    EngineerOk, understood.

  24. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes10:59:590:11

    Lewis HAMILTONI've changed my wheel and the groove at the back is too deep Copy

  25. ZHOU GuanyuAlpine11:00:350:16

    EngineerOkay, so time to gain is mid-corner turn one and mid-corner turn six and then a bit on entry of Correction mid-corner turn nine and entry of turn six

  26. Lance STROLLAston Martin11:00:490:07

    Lance STROLLAnd I have no grip picking up the power, and these tires are done.

  27. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull11:01:430:07

    EngineerCars ahead on slow laps, so eyes on dash.

  28. Mick SCHUMACHERHaas11:03:030:09

    Mick SCHUMACHERI would check also the first lap, turn 9, turn 10, if the T-Trade took some hits there or not.

    EngineerCopy that.

  29. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri11:05:440:42

    Pierre GASLYOk, can you give us more feedback? What do you need here? Just

    Pierre GASLYapproaching turn 9, boat is coming now, coming now. Charge off. I charge off what? I'm in the grass. Ok, let's keep the head down please. What do you need to go, what's the issue with this turn 1? The issue, I don't have one single clean out, like warm up and then after I have f***ing rear, turn 3. So I don't

    Engineerknow,

    Pierre GASLYI have wheel spin likely. Okan pushing, coming behind our lot now. Okan pushing, coming behind our lot.

  30. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:06:200:05

  33. Daniel RICCIARDOMcLaren11:09:480:17

    EngineerDaniel, we currently have an issue with the fuel rig, happy to do one more timed lap if you want to try, happy to try one more lap if you want.

    Daniel RICCIARDOOK, and I can always abort.

    EngineerCopy, happy with that.

  34. Charles LECLERCFerrari11:10:370:04

    Engineerand we'll need a good warm-up on the brakes

  35. Yuki TSUNODAAlphaTauri11:10:480:05

    Yuki TSUNODAYeah f***ing idiot this guy

  36. Nicholas LATIFIWilliams11:12:340:12

    EngineerYep, copy. Box, box, box, box. You push pit entry as a race lap. There will be a single cool stop, single cool stop onto the dead tires and flap adjust one turn down.

  37. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri11:12:370:20

    EngineerYeah, clearly it's the first time lap for this compound, and we missed it with the traffic on the outlap.

    Pierre GASLYYeah, I just need much more rear grip.

    EngineerOkay, the other car managed to make it work pretty well, so we'll have a look.

    Pierre GASLYMe too, I can't make it work, you know, if we don't have any traffic, so... Just give me more rear grip, and then I make it work. Simple as that.

  38. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull11:14:500:07

    EngineerCould be up to 15 time-lapse for the checkered flag, Mox, 15.

  39. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes11:17:280:06

    EngineerGasly ahead could be on fuel so you need a big gap

  40. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull11:19:400:08

    EngineerDoing a good job with the rear left back but it is still continuing to creep up so just watch that grip hasn't stabilised.

  41. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:21:470:10

    EngineerAnd we've got Gasly 3 seconds Not

    Lewis HAMILTONstopping the car enough, turn 3
