Lance STROLLA lot of traffic. Rana was just a terrible start in the laps.

EngineerNo, Mazepin aborted ahead. It was Mazepin aborted ahead. We should have been in phase with everyone. Should have been in phase. He's aborted.

EngineerIt just seems like the tyre doesn't perform as well as the C3, I just overdone it on the first push. Understood, Vettel 2 behind on a push, Vettel 1.5

Sebastian VETTELdidn't really put the lap together struggling a bit with the rear copy

Engineerthat

EngineerWind 10 kilometres, tailwind into turn 9. Gusty at times.

Pierre GASLYYeah, that's f***ing traffic again.

EngineerOkay, so box box, three purple sectors.

EngineerSo we will be a lay rubber down and then we will stop at the end of the pit lane for a start.

Carlos SAINZThis hamilton guy is going to give us a hard session, I think.

Engineerand there's some debris somewhere that they're coming for. Just be careful. There might be people on track there.

Carlos SAINZYeah, LAB was coming better, even with all the traffic.

EngineerUnderstood.

EngineerVox, Vox Copy, are you ok?

Nikita MAZEPINAmazing I am man!

Yuki TSUNODAUh, the car switch is off.

EngineerSo don't let Bottas push you on.

EngineerOk, there is a lot of grip on pit exit.

EngineerSo Lewis 18-2, the strike difference is 1 tenth difference.

EngineerSo currently P1, Valtry P2 just over a tenth behind. Losses to Valtry, a little bit exit turn 5 and minimum speed turn 13.

Lando NORRISQuite a few vibrations with this set.

EngineerOK, understood.

Fernando ALONSOI can give Esteban a tow.

George RUSSELLThe rear dropouts did not seem to be there this run, and now I just had a big understeer because we took the two turns to flap out.

George RUSSELLSmart place to back off. Yeah,

Engineercopy that. Yes, let's box. We'll go in lap and box.

George RUSSELLDo the V-limbs or not? V-limbs, stay out for V-limbs or not?

EngineerNegative, let's box, let's box.

EngineerHow was the balance in this run? It was quite good.

Yuki TSUNODARotation in sector 1 was enough. I would say if I had a little bit more, that would be good in sector 1. Sector 3, there was degradation, so...

EngineerBox, box.

Yuki TSUNODAIn the first lap, I didn't feel much degradation in sector 3, so that was... I don't know if this is positive or not.

EngineerYes, it's good. We just need to put more rotation for the first two, for the first lap. Yeah.

EngineerOk, charge on, charge on. We could box at the end of this lap, or if you really want it we could do, we could charge up and then... BOX! The tyres are good for one lap.

EngineerSo Daniel, that was a very good step you made in turn 5 on the second attempt. Turn 5 matched Lando, even though you were on a used tyre.

Daniel RICCIARDOOK, understood.

EngineerTurn 12 now also looking good. Turn 13, time loss is in the exit of 13. So it looks like turn 13 at the high fuel will work on starting the rotation earlier and gaining back a little bit more time in the exit.

Pierre GASLYHow is the wind?

EngineerIt's a bit lower now. It's a bit lower. It's just about 10 kph breaking down for tailwind

EngineerLots of pull in from the brakes Ok understood, so big stops will help them get back up to temperature, so big stop in 7 and 10

Nicholas LATIFIThat was a very bad shift, 3rd to 4th. Felt like there was something wrong there. Like a rev over as I shifted.

EngineerCopy that. So make sure you gather some hard stop, we need hard stop for the front right. Make sure it doesn't drop the temp.

Nicholas LATIFIYeah, let's revert this change on the shift, it's really bad.

EngineerSo the last two laps were 7 tenths faster than Lance but we have got some temperature with that

EngineerAnd then I have Alonso within four on consecutive and then there's a large gap to Stroll

Nicholas LATIFIStill doing it. I think if it's not the shift setting, there must be something else wrong. Third to fourth shift there It's almost like the clutch is slipping or something. Low 9 P4 please Low 9 P4

EngineerCopy

EngineerOK, the early signs Max are that you'll be looking after the front left in terms of temperature.

Pierre GASLYWe need to work on 10-12 because it's really bad there.

EngineerYour

Carlos SAINZfirst lap is starting to go away a bit.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerOK, and how are the tyres? How is the balance?

Fernando ALONSOOversteering.

Nikita MAZEPINHow is the balance? How is the balance? Much better after EV6, but before that, front left is ****ed.

George RUSSELLNo deceleration from the brakes

EngineerOkay, man, so we've got Hamilton 1.2 behind. He'll soon have DRS. We can push more in 1 and 3. Let's use this tyre up.

EngineerAnd let Charles go behind you let him go and back to mode race

EngineerThe wind is picking up the wind is picking up a little bit 5 kph more

Sergio PEREZWhat is this pace like?

EngineerYeah this pace is good. The Mercedes stabilised on a 23.3 So this pace is right on the money.

EngineerOK George, HPP on and go defend, and yeah, I think Gus may have picked up so wind speed may have increased

EngineerThat was a much better lap. This is your last lap. Management is good. Just a bit more slip management on 5. Slip management on 5. Rest is good.

Lewis HAMILTONWant to remember this lap?

EngineerOkay, easy on the weigh-in please Max, easy on the weigh-in, stay off the curves, stay off the curves. Just picked up some front right end plate damage, we don't want it to fall off.

George RUSSELLJust a little bit of feedback. Busy, please talk to me slightly earlier. A

Engineerlittle bit late out of the corners today. Copy that, no problem mate. Apologies.

EngineerAll right, very good session Wilder, we'll get some comments when you're back in the garage, but other than that a good day all in all, nice job. Yeah,

Esteban OCONcopy that, agreed.

Lewis HAMILTONSorry lads, that was a bit of a bump.
