17. Esteban OCONAlpine02:45:43

    Esteban OCON: Bouncing OK, balance OK, but a bit loose, second to last corner, 14.

    Engineer: OK, copy that. Let's see what we get on a second lap.

18. Nyck DE VRIESAlphaTauri02:48:00

    Nyck DE VRIES: Yeah, keep track of the vibrations because the lock-up into turn 3 was quite big. We do have vibrations.

19. George RUSSELLMercedes02:49:12

    George RUSSELL: Still have no rear, into the loose feet, 3

20. George RUSSELLMercedes02:50:27

    George RUSSELL: Can you check the ride height please, because I feel like I've got more bottom end into three, like everywhere really.

    Engineer: Yeah, I feel the same.

21. Nyck DE VRIESAlphaTauri02:51:10

    Nyck DE VRIES: Ok Nick, not sure what's up with you because of the noise?

    Engineer: Ok, copy that.

22. Pierre GASLYAlpine02:54:10

23. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull02:57:22

    Engineer: Max, let us know if you'd like some help with tools, that's the question, just to keep the tyres alive. I don't think there's a lot we can do. Understood.

24. Sergio PEREZRed Bull02:59:27

    Sergio PEREZ: Yeah, I'm struggling quite a bit from sector 1, this is quite sharp. Can

    Engineer: we box and take a bit of a McBan out of it?

25. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin03:00:06

    Engineer: So we think you can use the tyres a little bit more generally, but just watch the rear in turn 5. Save the rear more in turn 5.

26. Nyck DE VRIESAlphaTauri03:03:22

    Nyck DE VRIES: I almost lost it in 10, and I almost lost it again in 12. I almost lost it in 10, and I almost lost it again in 12.

27. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas03:03:39

    Engineer: So the debris is towards the outside of the corner.

28. Sergio PEREZRed Bull03:06:22

    Engineer: So the tyres are about on the cool side, scope to right rim.

29. George RUSSELLMercedes03:08:23

    Engineer: Might be a little gravel here turn three

30. Valtteri BOTTASAlfa Romeo03:09:48

    Engineer: Do you think you can get one more lap out of these tyres or should we? Yeah, it feels like the tyres were a bit on the cold side.

31. Sergio PEREZRed Bull03:10:53

    Engineer: I'm

    Sergio PEREZ: doing a lot of front up, going to country. Very inconsistent balance corner to corner.

32. Sergio PEREZRed Bull03:13:28

    Sergio PEREZ: I just don't feel there. It's all okay with the car. I cannot brake into turn one. Very loose rear. And then a lot of front lock going into turn three. Very inconsistent balance corner to corner.

    Engineer: Nothing dropping out at the moment in the data.

33. George RUSSELLMercedes03:15:19

    George RUSSELL: around the last corner, but it was really odd.

    Engineer: Okay, we'll have a look at that.

    George RUSSELL: It's kind of like it's filtering in.

34. Logan SARGEANTWilliams03:20:51

    Engineer: You report on a raindrop, please. I

    Logan SARGEANT: don't see any

35. Nyck DE VRIESAlphaTauri03:25:33

    Engineer: But the rain is picking up a little bit

37. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull03:26:52

39. Carlos SAINZFerrari03:27:34

    Carlos SAINZ: You're really quite a little

40. George RUSSELLMercedes03:29:00

    Engineer: It is viscerating a little bit more. We've got a slippery track with Turn 1.

41. Esteban OCONAlpine03:35:59

    Esteban OCON: My shoe is stuck on the gas pedal with some rubber or something.

    Engineer: Ok, understood.

42. Carlos SAINZFerrari03:36:22

    Engineer: And we did a good look for gravel in the cockpit as well, anything?

    Carlos SAINZ: Shouldn't be, but have a look. Yeah. On the grid there was plenty of grip, though.

    Engineer: Yeah, it seemed quite grippy, yeah, still.
