  3. Mick SCHUMACHERHaas11:05:530:07

  6. Daniel RICCIARDOMcLaren11:08:370:15

    EngineerSo Daniel in pit lane, we're gonna do start practice at the pit exit There's no bike point find, two burnouts and a first gear launch. You can have recharge off and go straight into pushing

    Daniel RICCIARDOOkay, roger

  7. Sergio PEREZRed Bull11:11:380:09

    EngineerSo Norris' lap time is around the 26.0. I suspect he's at a higher fuel load than us.

  8. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri11:12:170:05

    EngineerOn reminder, pull to goal turn 1.

  9. Sergio PEREZRed Bull11:12:520:18

    EngineerHow's the balance, Chaco?

    Sergio PEREZYeah, I'm just talking. It's all right. I think I can match him next lap.

    EngineerCopy.

  10. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull11:15:010:08

    EngineerCan I have engine 6, position 1 please? Engine 6, position 1 before you open the lap.

  11. Lando NORRISMcLaren11:15:340:08

    EngineerOkay Lando, I'd like two laps, no overtake, no red button.

  12. Esteban OCONAlpine11:17:500:15

    Esteban OCONLet me know how to remove the DRS bit

    EngineerCopy that standby Okay, Esteban. We need fail a one zero. Okay fail a one zero. Okay

  13. Sergio PEREZRed Bull11:18:490:09

    EngineerThis pace is good. Max's second lap at 23.8. So his tyres are five or six laps fresher than ours.

  14. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull11:19:310:13

    EngineerEngine 14, engine 1-4, position 2, position 2. Checo, last lap at 24.2.

    EngineerOkay, fastest lap for Lando was a 25.98 and his final lap 26.4

    Daniel RICCIARDOUnderstood Just in a phase two, phase three

  16. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull11:21:230:12

    EngineerA friendly heads up at turn 11 max. What does that mean? I think it means you were fine, you were just close.

  17. Sebastian VETTELAston Martin11:21:480:07

    EngineerSo just to give you an idea, there's not many on hard tyre but that was 3 tenths quicker than Lance last lap.

  18. Esteban OCONAlpine11:23:510:09

    EngineerOK, how's the balance?

    Esteban OCONIt's not too bad for me.

  19. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes11:25:240:05

    EngineerAnd seeing some tech on the soft

  20. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:26:390:08

    EngineerAnd we'll have one more lap, Valtteri 25.5 last lap.

  21. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes11:27:120:14

    EngineerMain gains, straight line speed in a toe was and some losses turn 8-9. Red, red, red. So keep the delta positive. Now we're taking.

  22. Carlos SAINZFerrari11:27:170:05

    Carlos SAINZI had a massive crash

  23. Carlos SAINZFerrari11:27:410:11

    EngineerAre you okay? That hurt a bit, but I'm okay

  24. Sebastian VETTELAston Martin11:27:490:08

    EngineerSo science is stopped in middle of the track of turn 9 so just caution here. There are marshals on the track

  25. Mick SCHUMACHERHaas11:28:350:16

    EngineerSo reset funk. These tires still have reasonable temp so we'll just get them wrapped and go again. So it's double yellow through here. Be careful through here. Just be careful through here and mode slow, mode slow. Signs car on the left.

  26. Daniel RICCIARDOMcLaren11:40:180:08

    EngineerOkay, Daniel, we can wait one minute, but we'll just have to cool the car a lot on the formation lap practice. That's not a problem

  27. Daniel RICCIARDOMcLaren11:41:340:07

    EngineerClutch was 1% deep, 1% deep. Understood.

  28. Sebastian VETTELAston Martin11:42:130:09

    EngineerSo tyres are still just coming up to temperature this first lap.

  29. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull11:42:220:22

    EngineerJust ahead of Alonso. OK, so let's back out of this. Let Giovinazzi through. Giovinazzi at three seconds. Ocon and Schumacher. Next car behind is Gasly's.

  30. Antonio GIOVINAZZIAlfa Romeo11:42:440:16

    EngineerReminder, throttle application exit, turn 2. Reminder, throttle application exit, turn 2.

  31. Antonio GIOVINAZZIAlfa Romeo11:43:050:07

    EngineerReminder, throttle application exit turn 2.

  32. Lando NORRISMcLaren11:43:310:17

    EngineerAnd feedback for you, you were target minus one, this time round I'd like you to do target plus two please, target plus two and we box this lap.

    Lando NORRISYeah, confirm, let me play.

  33. Sergio PEREZRed Bull11:44:340:05

    EngineerSo a reminder, handbrake turn one, handbrake turn one.

  34. Sebastian VETTELAston Martin11:44:460:09

    EngineerI think

    Sebastian VETTELin terms of D rates, the car's doing what it wants.

    EngineerCopy that, copy.

  35. Fernando ALONSOAlpine11:46:140:04

    EngineerThree more laps.

  36. Sebastian VETTELAston Martin11:47:260:10

    EngineerLet me know your thoughts on aerobalance, aerobalance. I'm happy with the aerobalance. Copy.

  37. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:48:460:07

    EngineerAnd this will be out lap critical

  38. Yuki TSUNODAAlphaTauri11:49:540:07

    EngineerYou can release brake turn one and four to not have rear lock

  39. Sebastian VETTELAston Martin11:50:530:11

    Sebastian VETTELIs it really Messi or is it just me who get this impression?

    EngineerI think it's Messi. It is Messi.

  40. Sergio PEREZRed Bull11:51:380:12

    EngineerWhat's your limitation in turn 4?

    Sergio PEREZFrom looking underneath, it's very light everything.

    EngineerYeah, copy that Checo.

  41. Sebastian VETTELAston Martin11:52:270:09

    EngineerSo that last lap was two and a half tenths faster than Lance's first lap on the same time. Last lap was deleted, 10.11.

  42. Mick SCHUMACHERHaas11:53:110:16

    EngineerIs it any better in free air, or is it still just this dead condition?

    Mick SCHUMACHERI feel the low grip on all four tires.

    EngineerBut

    Mick SCHUMACHERit seems like it's recovering a bit.

    EngineerOkay, understood. You have Vettel close behind.

  43. Esteban OCONAlpine11:53:470:13

    EngineerOK, if we can do a small lift and coast before 8 and 11 just to help cool the car on the way and that would be good. Would you like a flap adjust?

    Esteban OCONCopy, let's give the signal now.

  44. Charles LECLERCFerrari11:54:070:11

    Charles LECLERCGuys, I need to stop. Copy that. I cannot explain here. Copy

  45. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull11:55:070:12

    EngineerOK, so Hamilton on a new hard 23.5, Bottas lap 6 on the soft 24.1.

  46. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes11:56:570:09

    EngineerAnd Valtteri, if you want some running in traffic box box this lap, you can go even for a start so cool the car

  47. Yuki TSUNODAAlphaTauri11:57:210:09

    Yuki TSUNODAI can't go throttle aggressively because it's so snappy like I have in the 10-7.

  48. Lando NORRISMcLaren11:57:540:08

    Engineerand suggest right hand toggle for turn six seven opportunity focus on exit

  49. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri11:59:000:05

    EngineerKeep pushing and I'll let you know if we have time for another one.

  50. Yuki TSUNODAAlphaTauri11:59:300:05

    EngineerDef entry 9 for stability. Def entry 9.

  51. Robert KUBICAAlfa Romeo12:00:170:06

    EngineerPerfect, that was a good 5 second margin.
