Engineer5.5, track is green.

EngineerAnd new brakes, so good warm-up on brakes.

EngineerOK copy, remember 2 BPF, double BPF, 5

Nicholas LATIFIburnout and

Engineerstop in box pull away

EngineerTurn one is tailwind maybe just tried to combine the entry a little too much in turn one

Daniel RICCIARDOThere is seven meters margin braking turn for seven meters

Charles LECLERCIs everything fine with my delta time? I'm so quick in the charslaps.

EngineerI will come back to you on that. Yes, so everything should be fine on the delta time?

Charles LECLERCYeah, but... okay.

EngineerYou can do a double cooldown lap?

Charles LECLERCYeah, but nobody is respecting it if I'm fine, so... Do we need to respect it in FP3 or can I just go slow?

EngineerWe need to respect it also in FP3.

EngineerSo turn 3 exit we need to focus so carry a bit less speed in entry and focus on exit

Yuki TSUNODAI think the car, fast speed corner is quite good, I have acquired quite

Engineergood stability Copy, Gasly, Ricciardo behind, they are boxing

Engineerand recharge off launch map off first to second shift at the pit exit first to second shift at the pit exit

EngineerBox now box now

EngineerSo if we keep both, 6 and 7, we can break 5 meters later.

EngineerOK mode charge and we can do another push if you want, if not box.

EngineerTrack is clear behind, let me know if you want to do another try, another push lap?

Charles LECLERCYeah, can I go through the push lane please?

EngineerOk, copy

EngineerSo for turn 7 anticipate the liftoff point to carry more speed, traffic wise we are okay, we have Kimi behind in face, Ocon ahead also in face, and Focus braking turn 3.

EngineerAnd are you happy with balance?

Fernando ALONSOIt's decent, they're always still inside.

EngineerOK, understood.

EngineerAnd for if we were 2.8 positive on the display

Carlos SAINZYeah, I can see it, but everyone's going very slow, so Yeah, understood, no, no, just to give you the feedback, all fine

EngineerOk Pierre, it's a good lap given the tyres, it's a good lap given the tyres. So we double cool down and we do one more lap with another target.

Pierre GASLYStill struggling with the rear grip, I'm quite oversteery in high speed.

EngineerLet's go offset 2.0 for the next lap.

EngineerSo to Sonoda it's one and a half tenths, sector one half a tenth in the middle, one and a half in the final.

EngineerSo to Sonoda it was exit turn 1, minimum speed turn 3.

EngineerIf you want to load the lap, put the tyre switch to position 2, otherwise leave it in 1.

EngineerSo scope to work the rears a little bit. Nice clean run through 9 and 10. Vettel's going, so it's B-Bell 3. Vettel's just waiting a little bit. Yeah, B-Bell 3, recharge off when you're ready. Vettel's gone.

EngineerOkay, let me know if you need another lap or you're happy with this happy

Fernando ALONSOto box

EngineerOkay, copy. That's a soon arrow cruise after turn three, please So arrow P for fifth gear after turn three and we are boxing the slab clear from traffic behind

EngineerSo how's the car? How's the flat?

Sergio PEREZFor the high speed we are a bit on the understeer side. Apart from turn 1, that is more neutral.

EngineerOK. Kobi, do you want to come through for a flap adjust?

Sergio PEREZWe go up two clicks.

EngineerKobi, to door behind.

EngineerSo Sebastian Wind is 12 kph tail into Turn 1, into Turn 1 and into Turn 3.

EngineerSo, for the charge lap, if we do double charge, he gives us a compare with the soft, but I leave it up to you.

EngineerSo Daniel, we need to brake later turn one and turn three. Losing out in braking turn one and turn three. That's about five meters in each corner. And then Lando is a partial lift in turn seven and nine. Admittedly, he is slightly covering the brake when he does that lift, but he's a partial lift in seven and nine.

Pierre GASLYYeah, I'm gonna get deleted. It is up to 10

EngineerSo in terms of other cars on the hard tyre, just a little loss to Alonso in turn 6.

EngineerAnd confirm your lap time is deleted How was the balance in high speed?

Pierre GASLYUndersteer at 10.6, but then 10.7 was good

EngineerCopy that

Yuki TSUNODAYeah, I don't know.

EngineerI

Yuki TSUNODAgot massive stuff.

EngineerFirst lap from Nikita was 107.1, how was the balance?

Mick SCHUMACHERIt was okay. Turn 1 felt a bit awkward, but it was alright.

EngineerOkay, it wasn't an ideal outlap. In terms of Turn 1 awkward, it just meant the tyres were not quite right, kind of like yesterday.

EngineerThree, two, one.

EngineerSo box, check away box, practice pit stop, really focus on your positioning.

Charles LECLERCI'll cool down next lap and go again.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerAnd six and a half meters before the line for the stop as well. Thanks again, good luck. We'll get some comments when you plug the instant light.

Carlos SAINZYeah, I think the tires gave up on me there in the last sector.

EngineerWe think you were driving better in that lap, it was a good turn 3 as an approach, in turn 4 as well. Yeah, turn 3 and 4 was better, it's just,

Carlos SAINZyeah

Engineerit's not easy.

EngineerOK this, that's P2, Verstappen P1, nearly half a second A lot of that is straight line, start finish straight and turns 1 to 3 Turn 1 was pretty

Lewis HAMILTONbad, is

Engineerthe

Lewis HAMILTONengine OK?

EngineerYep, all good from our side, no problem

EngineerSo main losses was a bit of 6, a bit of 7, a bit of 9. Low speed was strong.

EngineerAnd turn one and three maybe just try and carry a little bit too much speed on the entry phase

Engineererror balance if I'm not right. Okay copy that we'll have a think about what we can do for three and four.

Lando NORRISYeah, give me an update.

EngineerSo car behind is now Mazipan on the timelapse, he's in turn 3.

Lando NORRISYeah, give me an update, everyone ahead is going super slow.

EngineerGasly is in 9 now. So there's 4 cars still between you and turn 9.

EngineerTyres looking good, tyre is looking good. Brake temperature, bit of brake temperature, brake temperature here

Mick SCHUMACHERYeah, I ran also out of room with the front understeer there.

EngineerYep, understeer, okay. Alright, well we can apply some tools for the next lap, we'll just come back to you.

Mick SCHUMACHERYeah, it's exit turn 4 only.

EngineerLando, do you want to go for another lap? Not sure what the condition of tyres is?

Lando NORRISYeah, I have a little pick-up. I'll try, but I'm having to box straight away.

EngineerOK, let's open it. If we want to box, we'll probably have to abort about turn four.

EngineerSo thinking of boxing, I don't know if you want to have another go? Yeah, maybe I would like another go. Okay, cool. So we'll go for double cool. Russell behind his outlap.

Charles LECLERCCan't we put through again the other tires? These are so bad!

EngineerI will come back to you. OK, box now, box!

Yuki TSUNODAI got the QF visor from the car in front, I think it looked like.

EngineerSo recap, it's turn 1 entry, a tenth, turn 6 entry, a tenth, and turn 9 mid-speed, almost another tenth.

EngineerSo it's 4 tenths to Verstappen, most of that, at least half of that is turn 3 Just take me through turn 3 please man Too quick on the way in or what? Looks like braking too early, carrying too much speed to the apex

EngineerOK, tyre prep with all of this is sub-optimal, so don't worry too much about performance, we're just gathering data here, so just a nice clean lap Max.

EngineerSome main losses to Max. A little bit mid-corner turn, 3, and then 6, 9, 10.

EngineerSo the rear tyres were a bit on the warm side for that lap. How are things from your side?

Sergio PEREZYeah,

Engineergrip

Sergio PEREZfrom the rear mainly.

Lance STROLLAm I taking the checkered flag? Yes, you're taking the checkered flag.

EngineerSo we need to take the chequered flag here? Yes, we still need to go around and take the chequered flag, so if we can cool the car and tyres on this lap we'll take the chequered flag at the end of it and then we'll do our formation lap procedure practice.

EngineerIt's round to the grid for practice start.

Sergio PEREZLet's review everything what we're doing in the medium speed corners. A bit on the neutral side.

EngineerYeah, copy that, Choco.

Engineercancel the handbrake cancel handbrake

EngineerOkay Lando as you approach the back it'll be by point find, four burnouts, first gear launch, ideally on the right hand side but forwards is our priority.

EngineerOkay, you are the lead McLaren so keep good pace on this lap to build a gap to Lando so we can double shuffle both cars

EngineerAnd remember, mode slow for the burnout. One burnout, left hand side, by point learn. No by point learn, no by point learn.

Nikita MAZEPINNo by point learn.

EngineerAfter you do the start, if you can, let's do the CSL after turn one.

Nikita MAZEPINPlease have a look on the video screen now, we'll save time.

EngineerOkay, yeah, we'll have a look. This is how much movement. Come out so straight into CSL if you can. Turn Russell close behind. Okay, now Giovinazzi three seconds behind, and let's come really slowly in, really slowly in. You can use the in button, the in button.

Nikita MAZEPINWhy am I coming slowly in?

EngineerJust to build a gap to Mick, to build a gap to Mick for the practice pit stop, the minute we're too close. Are

Nikita MAZEPINwe not the first car this weekend?

EngineerYes, we are.

Nikita MAZEPINSomething doesn't match up there, but up to you.

EngineerBox Nikita, box, box Nikita, box. Okay to push now on the in lap. And Hamilton three behind, closing quickly.
