Yuki TSUNODAI have massive spin out, exit of turn, last corner, what was that?

EngineerWe'll have a look, Yuki, we'll have a look, seems quite a lot of understeer, but we'll have a look. Anyway, P10, I think more than this was very difficult for us today, so I think we maximise our chances.

Yuki TSUNODAYeah, massive wheel spin out, exit of turn, last corner, that was quite costly, damaging the tyres.

EngineerWe'll have a look, we'll have a look. So we have some drops on track from our GPS, some drops.
