    Carlos SAINZUh, double check, I got a bit of throttle stuck.

  3. Carlos SAINZFerrari10:31:420:17

    Carlos SAINZBefore starting to push, I need to know if you see something.

    EngineerWe don't see anything weird from the data. Ok. Do

    Carlos SAINZyou feel anything or not? I felt definitely something into 2 and 1 pit exit.

  4. Esteban OCONAlpine10:32:030:04

    EngineerYellow flag, yellow flag.

  5. Robert KUBICAAlfa Romeo10:33:010:09

    EngineerIt's good for me too, so let's focus on tires and brakes please.

  6. Fernando ALONSOAlpine10:33:490:05

    EngineerAnd so just entry 7, mid 3, entry 7, mid 3.

  7. Sergio PEREZRed Bull10:34:330:03

    EngineerEyes on the dash.

  8. Esteban OCONAlpine10:36:410:06

    Esteban OCONThere's something moving around on the side of my seat

  9. Charles LECLERCFerrari10:36:490:08

    EngineerAnd suggestion to brake earlier turn 10, focus mid to exit

  10. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri10:37:520:05

    EngineerOk, that's a good lap here, that's a good lap, I'll keep you posted on the compares

  11. Lando NORRISMcLaren10:38:220:15

    Lando NORRISAnything you recommend with toys? I feel like I've got quite a bit of rear locking, but also for an end of stop. Yep, Mazipan 9, the car behind.

    EngineerYes, green F4, green F4. Mazipan 4 now.

  12. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes10:40:310:08

    Engineerand

    Lewis HAMILTONpace. So

    Engineercurrently P2 1.2 to Verstappen.

  13. Daniel RICCIARDOMcLaren10:40:570:10

    Daniel RICCIARDOSo Daniel turn one looks good. It's a little bit to find braking later part of phase one braking for turn three

  14. Yuki TSUNODAAlphaTauri10:41:120:29

    Yuki TSUNODACar balance looks neutral, I don't know yet, 26, 27, I didn't very much understand there, not

    Engineerbad for there. Agreed, agreed, Latifi 3.5 pushing, Vettel is face to you now, and we go for a double cooldown, Yuki, double cooldown.

    Yuki TSUNODAOkay.

    EngineerCareful on rear.

  15. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull10:42:180:20

    EngineerSo Kubica two and a half seconds behind boxers lap So stay to the right of the white line boxers lap look out for Kubica. Maybe let him through up to you Yeah, nice work. Okay box. Keep up the pace quickly boxers lap Stop on the marks will fit the new front wing

  16. Yuki TSUNODAAlphaTauri10:44:060:27

    Yuki TSUNODAMid exit, especially apex rotation, at slow speed corner, like turn 3, turn 4, fast speed corner is okay, enough rotation. Copy. How is the stability in the low speed? Stability in entry is okay, I think. But I feel a little bit of relocking in turn 3, initially. Copy.

  17. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull10:44:210:08

    EngineerOK, last lap, track limits, turn 10.

    Max VERSTAPPENLovely!

  18. Fernando ALONSOAlpine10:46:020:19

    EngineerThe last lap was deleted for track limits, turn 10.

    Fernando ALONSOYeah, but I lost time, so the lap was good.

    EngineerOK, no worries. Just letting you know where the limits are.

  19. Esteban OCONAlpine10:48:440:36

    EngineerOK, recharge on. We're going to start our first sequence of aero cruisers. OK, there was a shortcut at turn 9, just so you know. So we're going to go for aero P4, 5th gear, after turn 3, please. Clear track behind. OK, that's good. And aero P6, 3rd gear, through 6 and 7. Aero P6, 3rd gear. You've got Sainz pushing behind. Three seconds back. Last lap time was not deleted. He puts you P5. Good job. OK, clear track behind. Aero P6, 3rd gear. That's 150 pph.

  20. Yuki TSUNODAAlphaTauri10:52:410:59

    Yuki TSUNODAYeah, good traffic.

    EngineerYeah, I saw that, Yuki. Turn 6 and 7 were better this lap. He's understeering the low speed still too much.

    Yuki TSUNODANo, I think at turn 3 I don't recommend Pultogo there because I have a massive whoosh out from late entry to

    Engineerthe apex. Poppy, cancel Pultogo, cancel Pultogo. Is

    Yuki TSUNODAthere any other option to avoid the rear lock in turn 3?

    EngineerSainz is pushing behind 3 seconds. OK, Yuki, we start the lap in offset 4 and then we go offset 2 after turn 3. And no Pultogo turn 3. Are you still understeer limited in the low speed?

    Yuki TSUNODAI think it's OK.

    EngineerPoppy, Gasly did 6.6. We go for one more push.

  21. Carlos SAINZFerrari10:53:280:08

    Carlos SAINZYeah, all good. Yes, the car was stuck in focusing control.

  22. Esteban OCONAlpine10:53:530:06

    EngineerOkay, good job and boxes that please we will be stopping no more adjusts box our box now

  23. Carlos SAINZFerrari10:54:320:17

    EngineerGuys, let's get on with the plan. Now we lose time with the pit start and everything. We do a pit start, quick in, and then we can catch up in the turnaround. We're ready to change the bodywork.

    Carlos SAINZOkay.

  24. Nikita MAZEPINHaas10:55:250:11

    EngineerOK, Max, just hold the K1 again to engage the CURS turbo.

    Nikita MAZEPINI am in first gear and I've done it already, I need to go back to neutral. OK, don't do it again then, don't do it again.

  25. Lando NORRISMcLaren10:57:040:10

    EngineerAnd feedback on DRS. On the main straight, you're about 8 metres late. Everywhere else is good.

  26. Fernando ALONSOAlpine10:58:370:17

    Fernando ALONSOYeah, without the Ferrari on the penultimate corner. Okay, but yeah, we understand like hell

    EngineerOkay, and that's it so

    Fernando ALONSOwill we do a slowdown laps, okay,

    Engineerno problem

  27. Daniel RICCIARDOMcLaren11:00:060:18

    EngineerSo turn four, there is still scope in braking, higher peak brake pressure and later brake point. The turn in you're doing to four still looks good though. Watch

    Daniel RICCIARDOfor cubic out.

  28. Charles LECLERCFerrari11:02:201:05

    EngineerI get traffic every last sector Copy understood. So next car pushing behind Mazepin four seconds and Behind Mazepin will be Ricciardo also pushing at seven seconds. So at the moment you are P6 P6 Watch for traffic with Ricciardo. He's pushing behind him. There's a gap of six seconds and Hamilton is P1 you were matching Hamilton until last corner Sorry matching Hamilton until turn eight Everyone behind you on an out lap or slow lap and we have tailwind into turn one 10 kph and you can press select engine six engine six and brake balance plus two for turn three only and We should try to improve minimum speed Turn four mid corner turn four You

  29. Sergio PEREZRed Bull11:03:430:06

    EngineerMain loss to Max is Turn 1 braking. He did a 1.05.9

  30. Sebastian VETTELAston Martin11:04:310:20

    EngineerSebastian, we're thinking of going through the pit lane, it will help with the traffic, go through the pit lane this time?

    Sebastian VETTELCopy, Bucks.

    EngineerAny flap adjust, or okay with flap?

    Sebastian VETTELWe could do a little bit more, but I had traffic, so we can do a quarter more, I'll stop. Okay, you're gonna stop?

  31. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull11:05:240:07

    EngineerCould have engine 9 position 3, engine 9 position 3.

  32. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull11:07:440:07

    Max VERSTAPPENYeah, we got this guy yet same

    Engineercar

  33. Sergio PEREZRed Bull11:07:580:09

    Sergio PEREZYeah, I lost the fronts towards the end of the lap.

  34. Carlos SAINZFerrari11:08:590:07

    Carlos SAINZIn our box, the front is pushing away.

  35. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri11:09:350:16

    Pierre GASLYCarlos is a f*****g, he's f*****g blind, thinks he's alone, yeah, honestly I cannot f*****g believe him, I let him pass, like what's the point to do such a thing?

  36. Esteban OCONAlpine11:10:470:10

    EngineerOkay, so this is likely to be our cleanest lap. I think I wouldn't be surprised if people go on to high fuel and start coming out shortly.

  37. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:11:270:04

    EngineerStraight to the run. Hey, Finn.

  38. Esteban OCONAlpine11:12:520:17

    EngineerOK, how is the balance? Clear track behind Hamilton, coming past now.

    Esteban OCONVery similar issues, a lot more front end, the low speed than the high speed.

    EngineerBut

    Esteban OCONthe high speed not.

  39. Esteban OCONAlpine11:13:320:13

    Engineerand you could also go up on low speed if you wanted additional support there. So we're going to do the next lap in Scenario 9 as well, Ricciardo seven seconds behind, again likely high fuel so he'll be pushing.

  40. Yuki TSUNODAAlphaTauri11:14:070:13

    EngineerSonar is coming behind, 5 seconds He is on high fuel

    Yuki TSUNODALet me know how many laps we can do

    Engineer14.14

  41. Lando NORRISMcLaren11:15:040:12

    EngineerAnd Lando Minor, White Default 6-7, White Default 6-7

    Lando NORRISYeah, confirmed

  44. George RUSSELLWilliams11:16:540:11

    George RUSSELLDo you need to tell me traffic?

  46. Yuki TSUNODAAlphaTauri11:18:550:09

    EngineerAre you front or rear limited, Yuki?

    Yuki TSUNODATraction, both.

  47. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:19:590:25

    EngineerAnd Lewis, let us know if you want to box for the hard tyre warm-up or just stick with this tyre, do a bit more of a longer run?

    Lewis HAMILTONWhatever's needed, man.

    EngineerOK, copy Lewis, we think more data on this medium will be better for us.

  48. Yuki TSUNODAAlphaTauri11:22:020:13

    EngineerYoki, let's push one step more in high speed and keep doing with spin management, one step more high speed. Russell 08 behind, we can use overtake to defend.

  49. George RUSSELLWilliams11:22:500:12

    EngineerNo DRS please. Well

    George RUSSELLI'm within one second. I'm not going to be able to do that with no DRS. I'll try and overtake him.

  50. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull11:24:220:16

    Max VERSTAPPENWhat's the gap I have behind?

    Engineer4 seconds, Strat 8

    Max VERSTAPPENFelt like I had a massive push in that corner

    EngineerOK, understood, we'll have a look at it, you've got Alonso 2 seconds behind, don't hold him out

  51. Antonio GIOVINAZZIAlfa Romeo11:24:420:06

  52. Sergio PEREZRed Bull11:25:340:12

    EngineerMax's last lap of 109.7, how are the tyres?

    Sergio PEREZThey're on the hot side, I need to manage well a bit to bring them back on.

  53. Lando NORRISMcLaren11:26:250:07

    EngineerAnd Lando, last three laps were all deleted, turn 10.

    Lando NORRISYeah, yeah, yeah, that's right.

  54. George RUSSELLWilliams11:26:260:12

    George RUSSELLI feel really odd, second to fourth gear, really strange.

    EngineerCopy, that's the blue nine setting. I

    George RUSSELLknow, I just did it.

  55. Yuki TSUNODAAlphaTauri11:27:090:08

    Yuki TSUNODAGive me the feedback to avoid a relock.

    EngineerOffset 6, Offset 6.

  56. Yuki TSUNODAAlphaTauri11:27:520:06

    Yuki TSUNODAYeah, front is okay, but the rear traction is gone

  57. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri11:28:350:08

    EngineerOK Esteban, cool the car, cool the car, that's the chequered flag, so cool the car please, scenario 3 and practice formation lap procedures, scenario 3, practice formation lap procedures.

    Esteban OCONHow can I cool the car and do that?

  62. Robert KUBICAAlfa Romeo11:33:160:17

    EngineerYeah, it was a night, but I have engine to hold. Yeah, copy. So, cool the engine then. High gear, low revs. OK, he's not a big problem, don't worry. He will cool down on the in-lap.
