Engineer: We lose about a tenth and a half to Pierre in the last sector. Watch for Fernando, two seconds. Yeah, exactly, last sector down 12. So entries turn 13 and 14, we're carrying a bit too much in and that's hurting the exits.
Engineer: How's the balance on the second lap, please?
Esteban OCON: Yeah, a bit less grip, I think. Probably a bit more on the steer.
Engineer: One and two, but yeah, improved the last sector. Yeah, copy that. Just watch for Fernando behind, please. Three seconds timed lap.
Charles LECLERC: This lap will be bad, but I've got a lot of, with my mistake in the last corner, I took all the rubber on my tyres, so it will be very slow.
