EngineerCould be some debris somewhere on track or it could be in the pit lane stand by. I think it's pit exit, it is confirmed.

Charles LECLERCAre the brakes warm? The

Engineerrears are on the cold side.

EngineerAnd surface temps look cool all round.

EngineerBalance looks tricky. How is it?

Mick SCHUMACHERYeah, it's not easy. Reasonably far a bit, but it's okay.

George RUSSELLCopy, I wouldn't mind doing a couple of consecutive laps here, lacking confidence with

Engineerthe wind.

EngineerFor turn 14 suggest earlier braking to get more minimum speed similar to the simulator compare smaller step than the simulator compare But similar in terms of approach

Daniel RICCIARDOOkay

EngineerOkay, so Daniel's just gone quickest on his eighth time lap on this tyre, so I think let's have a good go of it. I think we need to keep building on it.

EngineerOkay, first time lap attempt, let's put you P3. That's the same lap time as Ricciardo and Bottas. Those lap times for those drivers were at the end of their runs.

EngineerYou can keep pushing. Still going quicker.

EngineerOk, let's go for recharge a couple of corners and then charge off. Position is very good.

EngineerSo the tyres have cooled, so just take care, especially fronts.

EngineerSo currently P2, 4 tenths to Valtteri at P1.

EngineerOk, time was deleted again, time deleted, Max still pushing, turn 3 now, he's coming for us

EngineerAnd we have headwind into turn one, same as before.

Max VERSTAPPENEvery other lap in turn 3 I lose the rear due to the handbrake effect, I don't know what's going on there.

EngineerOK, understood, we'll have a look.

EngineerOk Pierre, we can have one more lap, but we'll have to make the garage time short for the soft. Please confirm you're happy with that, we'll have to shorten the garage time. Flap and go.

Pierre GASLYYeah, that's fine. Ok, let's do that then.

Nicholas LATIFIanyways cooling again yeah

Engineerit would be good to try to complete the lap nikki you can still push the rest of the lap yeah

Nicholas LATIFIbut i'm gonna have traffic okay

Engineerif you pass me at the third one what do you mean with you perez with you perez with you watch perez watch perez no one after perez 11 seconds let's try not to abort too many laps mate we need to build up yeah but

Nicholas LATIFIwhat do you want me to do waste a lot of tires yeah

Engineerthe first lap is not the good one we need to build up confidence and temperature in the tires so we need some push lap mate

Nikita MAZEPINI bought it because of MiG. Okay,

Engineerunderstood, understood.

EngineerIn terms of the traffic, we didn't make clear that you were pushing again, so that's my communication problem. It wasn't Nikita who didn't know you were pushing again.

EngineerOkay, that's another good lap. Shame about the snap in the exit of the final corner. That was a good lap. You are P4 with that one.

EngineerOk let's box now please Esteban, so good job, so currently P10 in the tables and there's a few soft runners up above us as well, so nice work so far, let's box now.

EngineerI'd like to get onto the softs. If we go for another lap now that would cost us a lap on the softs.

George RUSSELLWhat the hell?

Nicholas LATIFIWe have to change the break-off set on the in-and-out line. It's too much. There's always a delta.

EngineerWhat a joke mate, I can't even see where I'm going, so much vibration. Listen Max, if it's a safety concern for you, we're happy to box. I'll just visit the dentist after the weekend.

Max VERSTAPPENIt's impossible to drive it.

EngineerWait, was he on the high fuel or low fuel? He's on low fuel but doing sustained running like he but I don't know what he's going to do now Okay,

Mick SCHUMACHERbecause I think he was mad that I was in his way. I'm sorry about that. Okay, understood

Mick SCHUMACHERCan I use DRS to pass the mask? I

Engineerthink it's better just to make a gap if we have a big pace difference, so we've got a huge gap behind, just give them a little gap, give yourself like a 5-7 second gap.

EngineerIs

Lewis HAMILTONthat it, or are we going again? No, we can go again.

EngineerDon't slow down. Keep pushing, Yuki. Keep pushing.

Yuki TSUNODAI am!

Callum ILOTTWell, thanks guys, that was enjoyable.

EngineerAll right, we'll push you back into the garage for a short and get some comments from you, but on the whole, a busy session, but I think very good. Finished P10 in the end.
