EngineerAnd how was the balance?
Pierre GASLYBetter in the high speed, but still tricky at low speed with the NST Apex and Traction coming around on power

Esteban OCONBalance felt okay Finishing the lap A bit poor with traction out of seven and out of four

ZHOU GuanyuMy fire is moving alone
EngineerJust yellow diff 4, yellow diff 4.
Esteban OCONBut the exits are not good, the car has too much front end on exit phases combined, it's like 7.
ZHOU GuanyuI need to box, it's broken Maybe another steering wheel to be ready? We will change steering wheel outside and then we continue
EngineerOkay Lance, good exit last corner, cool and box, cool and box, P10, that's a good lap for a hard tyre, most people on medium.
Kevin MAGNUSSENMassive washout at the front.
EngineerSo we're fine for energy, tyres are good.
ZHOU GuanyuThe way it was gone. How'd it go? No good. How was the practice?
EngineerDo you want another go, Max, or are you happy to box? It
Max VERSTAPPENwas quite OK, the lap, I think. Whatever.
EngineerLet's box, then. Let's box.
Alexander ALBONmainly there is from turn 12 onwards, it's better but still there
EngineerSo it looks like majority of the gains that others are finding are through 3, 4 and 6, 7.
EngineerSlow down for now, slow down, slow down, please slow down. Stay behind. We've got a problem on the front left I think. There's some debris.
EngineerSo turn six, yeah, so just back left there, back left
Pierre GASLYI just went completely straight, I just turned, but the front is not biting at all.
Lance STROLLMy mirror is broken. I need a box. I have a broken mirror.
EngineerOkay, understood, understood.

EngineerSo braking for turn 3 as the first main one, a little bit braking turn 6 as well.
Fernando ALONSOYeah, not too bad.
EngineerYeah, copy. Nobody's improved on the second laps.
EngineerAnd we've got Russell starting up. Well, no battery on this train, it's difficult to improve.
Esteban OCONThere is high fuel not low fuel
EngineerYeah, apologies, Perez was high fuel.
EngineerVulcan, we're out of time, nine. Yeah, it's fine, it's fine.
