EngineerSo stay off the curbs.

Lewis HAMILTONCar's put to the right.

EngineerAre you okay? Are you okay?

Nikita MAZEPINAll good, cannot get into the gear.

Nicholas LATIFICopy. Just check before I stopped for the start, there was an increase in revs as I pulled the clutch. And that's Leclerc pushing, Leclerc pushing within three, so I think Bottas might be in sync with you.

EngineerWe'll look at tyre vibration watch for Sainz, Sainz close behind, Sainz after Sainz. It's all good, the

Nikita MAZEPINbalance is really oversteery.

EngineerCopy that, I think it will improve a lot as the tyres come up, so let's just try and work those tyres back up.

Nicholas LATIFIIs everything okay with the brakes? Feels very strange on the front axle.

Pierre GASLYDidn't feel great, but open balance. Yeah, we can see that, it's 30 days, it's 30 days.

EngineerSo what's obviously the rear isn't great, but what's the balance like do we need to reduce understeer somewhere?

Mick SCHUMACHERYeah, some places I've got to be understeer like turn 1, turn 5 Okay, so we'll come back to you on that. Yeah, understood. Car steer's a bit weird also, turn 10, but I think that's

Engineera

Mick SCHUMACHERnew tarmac.

Charles LECLERCWhat's a people never change

Nikita MAZEPINThe tires were going off man. I mean it's really frustrating driving this car because it snaps on you when you really don't expect it.

Pierre GASLYI have to go compressing Yeah,

Engineerthat's what it is

EngineerThat turn five was better.

Lando NORRISYeah, just a lot of front under rotations into turn five causes a lot of understeer.

EngineerUnderstood.

EngineerFirst car behind is Latifi, 31.

Lando NORRISYou don't need to tell me the speed, just tell me one position I need to go in and that's it.

Nikita MAZEPINI have very little clearance of turning in this seat. I don't know what change it's from last night.

EngineerI

Nikita MAZEPINcan keep driving like that, but it's very

Engineerdifficult. Okay, in which case we'll get you out and we'll change the seat.

EngineerIs

Antonio GIOVINAZZIthere any picker I can use for more rotation, Andrea? Use

Engineerspecial 3 for turn 5.

Nicholas LATIFIA lot of pulling under brakes. Which is the axle that's off? That's

Engineerthe

Nicholas LATIFIfront right. Front right is low.

EngineerThe tires are very cold out of the blankets. Yeah, copy that.

Pierre GASLYYeah, just check everything is okay, because for me the car behaves quite strange, same as... It's a bit better this run compared to the previous run, but still...

EngineerOkay, copy that.

EngineerWe think Max did some front wing damage on the exit kerb at turn 7, apex turn 8.

Pierre GASLYCan you see in turn 2, 3, 9, it's just like when I turn, I get big variation, tons of front potential, and Debra is not following.

EngineerYeah, we can see that. We have to find the reason. We can see that in the balance.

Pierre GASLYIt's better now compared to last run. I think this does feel a bit better.

Engineerhow was the balance on this tire?

Nikita MAZEPINnormal back

Engineerto normal again but there is no understeer in the car even slow speed

Sebastian VETTELI lost the piece, probably front wing,

Engineerexit of 7.

Daniel RICCIARDOOK, he's still pushing, it got messy with the Red Bull as well so I'll do another call

EngineerFirst car on a time-lapse, yeah go on, yeah go on, no you, no you go on first, okay Latifi 20, time-lapse

Lando NORRISUm just 10, 10, a lot of understeer through the apex, is it diff, do I need to come down on diff?

EngineerOk Yuki, until turn 10 the lap is fine, we are losing the last sector, we need to bring more speed in entry of almost all the corners, if you need stability we do the diff entry step that we spoke about, so entry 6 plus pull toggle before turn 10.

Robert KUBICATry to restock. I'm stuck. You're stuck? Sorry, yeah.

EngineerNo starts here. Yeah, let's go no start. Let's just concentrate on getting a decent read on this run, please.

EngineerYou should get one timed lap on each front wing. One timed lap on each.

Daniel RICCIARDOUnderstood.

EngineerCars queuing, waiting to do their low fuel laps, you can just go.

Nikita MAZEPINYeah, you tell me that when I'm there.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, this is so

Max VERSTAPPENIs my battery fine?

EngineerBattery is okay, obviously tyres are a little bit hot now but we'll see how we go.

Charles LECLERCBig mistakes. Well, two big mistakes.

EngineerNice one.

Valtteri BOTTASGot properly flocked there.

EngineerI

Lando NORRIScan't drive it, I've got way too much cramp. Okay, understood.
