EngineerSomething

George RUSSELLdoesn't quite feel right with the steering. I'm having to turn so much of the apex at low speed

Engineerbut

George RUSSELLmore than Whatever we've tested this before

Engineerany problem corners you need to help with are you happy just as those we are on switches?

Zak O'SULLIVANquite happy for now a bit of understeer mid nine but not too bad

EngineerOK, next car on the time-lapse is Doohan, exit turn 5.

Jake DENNISOK, copy that, traffic management is good from your side, so continue the way you are, that's good.

EngineerOK, Doohan braking turn 6 now, he's the only threat at the moment, so if we let him through before turn 9.

Oscar PIASTRICar feels very understeering.

EngineerUnderstood, do you want to box and add some flap?
