Pierre GASLYOk, just for the race it will be important to let me know if any cars coming because we can't really see anything. Yeah, we'll keep it monitored. Signs pushing in turn 4.
Nikita MAZEPINIf I start to slide the rear axle, then it's really nothing left on the end of the lap. I'm also struggling with understeer, so going with brake balance forward doesn't always help, man. Okay, copy that, copy that.
Max VERSTAPPENI don't get why Lucas backs up so much. He had enough space.

Max VERSTAPPENThey're just keeping me up to date with the cars behind because I can't see anything.
