    Engineer: Ok.

  17. Lance STROLLAston Martin

    Engineer: And on brake balance Lance if you think you can take it we'd like to do minus two minus two for the whole lap for the next push

  18. Esteban OCONAlpine

    Engineer: OK, so Pierre's first lap at 11.76, how was the balance this time? The

    Esteban OCON: balance was OK.

    Engineer: OK, very good.

  19. Nico HULKENBERGHaas

    Nico HULKENBERG: You sure most people do double back-off feels like to me to do one

  20. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull

    Engineer: Would you like a front flap adjustment?

    Max VERSTAPPEN: No, the car is just medium speed, weird things, I think with the brakes, I don't know, it's really weird.

  21. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes

    Lewis HAMILTON: Tires are probably too hot

    Engineer: Which do you think? Yeah, let's focus on the long run, I think that's a reasonable estimate OK

  22. Valtteri BOTTASAlfa Romeo

    Engineer: And suggest to go rearwards of brake balance for turn two already. And sock two.

    Valtteri BOTTAS: Copy.

  23. Charles LECLERCFerrari

    Charles LECLERC: Yeah, that's a good lap for this box.

    Engineer: So you have, for the moment, you have purple third sector.

    Charles LECLERC: Okay, straight.

  24. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas

    Engineer: Track is clear. Track is clear. You should get 15 time flaps.

  25. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin

    Engineer: But it's just going straight into go one straight to go one and we'll start a run

  26. Alexander ALBONWilliams

    Engineer: Okay, so next gap is behind me. So behind you've got Alonso five seconds. He's got Gasly right with him and then there's nine seconds back to Stroll. Okay, so everyone's on high fuel. So we're happy to drop back behind Alonso and Gasly if that helps.

  27. George RUSSELLMercedes

    George RUSSELL: This boat is both on top of each other here.

  28. Charles LECLERCFerrari

    Engineer: Open a bit more the gap to the car in front please. Okay,

    Charles LECLERC: you can push now.

  29. Charles LECLERCFerrari

    Engineer: Sunoda 7 behind Try to manage the gap to the car in front Open a bit more the gap to the car in front please Sunoda 4 and a half behind

    Charles LECLERC: Ok you can push now I am doing it

  30. Pierre GASLYAlpine

    Pierre GASLY: Don't want to get overtaken

    Engineer: Yeah, copy that mate Got a six and a half second gap behind if you want to drop back

  31. Esteban OCONAlpine

    Engineer: OK mate, for info, almost all other cars are on the medium or the soft tyre, high fuel.

    Esteban OCON: OK copy, do you need me to know the times?

    Engineer: Yeah copy that, so Norris and Pierre on the soft both lapping low 1 minute 16s.

  32. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin

    Engineer: So Ocon's still doing, alright, 16.4s he's doing, and Lance on medium, he's just been making a gap.

    Fernando ALONSO: Yeah, let me know if this gap you need more or less, so Lance and myself we have the same gap with the car in front.

    Engineer: Yeah, copy that, so Lance has got 4.5, you've got 3.5, so you can make a half a second bigger gap would be good. It's pretty close. Copy,

    Fernando ALONSO: maybe both we can make more or whatever, good info.

    Engineer: Yeah, copy that.

  33. George RUSSELLMercedes

    George RUSSELL: Just check the rear left please

    Engineer: Looks ok at the moment

    George RUSSELL: Yeah, it's running a bit wide, can you go down and see?

  34. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas

    Engineer: That was perfect, Kev, and we'd suggest trying EB1 to help the rears as well, to help stability.

  35. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin

    Engineer: Can I check aerobalance? Check aerobalance at this time?

    Fernando ALONSO: I need 0.4 more.
