The session, message by message

  1. Felipe DRUGOVICHAston Martin12:29:290:15

    EngineerSo Felipe, just over a minute to go, so 1 minute 15, you've got a McLaren with a rake ahead of you, so they're likely to be in constant speed, so if you can clear them it will help us. Yeah, copy that.

  2. Yuki TSUNODAAlphaTauri12:30:050:05

    Yuki TSUNODAOkay, let's go

  3. Lando NORRISMcLaren12:31:070:10

    Lando NORRISYeah, all good.

    EngineerAll good. A lot of cars leaving the pits behind you. Remember no curbs, no DRS

  4. George RUSSELLMercedes12:34:090:14

    George RUSSELLIt's

    Engineerall

    George RUSSELLvibration of the steering and the braking, just with the magic The marker, sorry. Yeah, I've copied that

    EngineerAnd

    George RUSSELLagain into 7

    EngineerI see the marker

  5. George RUSSELLMercedes12:35:050:09

    George RUSSELLSmall vibrations again.

    EngineerYes, there it is. Copy. Gap six.

  6. Valtteri BOTTASAlfa Romeo12:36:490:06

    Valtteri BOTTASKeep getting anti-stall lock immediately. Okay, copy.

  7. Esteban OCONAlpine12:39:260:26

    EngineerOK mate, clear track behind, any initial balance comments so far please?

    Esteban OCONInitial comment, balance, the traction in 2, not great, the front end and the grip otherwise on entry and all that, that's not too bad, so yeah, pretty good otherwise.

    EngineerOK, that's good.

  8. George RUSSELLMercedes12:42:040:14

    EngineerYeah, AFIRM, we do see that.

  9. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren12:43:010:19

    EngineerAnd after on the in-lap, I'd like to do some CSLs. The first is 240 kph out of turn 7. So if you can have a clear track ahead, that's better data. That would be purple C7 position 2 for 240 kph and 6th gear.

  10. Felipe DRUGOVICHAston Martin12:44:050:08

    EngineerSo Felipe, you're going to go cool, all the cars behind are fast, Perez 2 behind fast.

  11. Esteban OCONAlpine12:45:040:07

    EngineerOkay, span at the end of this lap keep pushing to turn one without DRS, please

  12. George RUSSELLMercedes12:46:200:07

    George RUSSELLTake the front right side up just to review after

  13. Yuki TSUNODAAlphaTauri12:46:510:07

    Yuki TSUNODAI think I had a bit of rear locking end of the braking in turn one, isn't it?

  14. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin12:48:550:15

    EngineerIf you want to go back to Tyre Dry S you can, or if you're happy with where you are, we're happy to stay. Happy, mate. Okay, copy.

  15. Yuki TSUNODAAlphaTauri12:50:170:13

    Yuki TSUNODAI felt quite a lot of

    Engineerthe

    Yuki TSUNODAinside wheel bouncing, front and rear, in the middle of the turn to hit.

    EngineerCopy, nothing we can do now, but we'll have a look.

  16. Liam LAWSONAlphaTauri12:52:460:25

    EngineerOk, compared to the other car, it was U10 in turn 8, so same braking point, but carrying less speed in the late entry into turn 8, but then it's ISO 910, so it's all in turn 8. And Yuki is using 4th gear in turn 8. Yuki using 4th gear at the moment in turn 8.

  17. Yuki TSUNODAAlphaTauri12:55:560:26

    EngineerAgain, keep up the pace in the in-lap.

    Yuki TSUNODAYeah, in general I feel like the inside wheel is bouncing and it's not slick on me especially. And this may be my exit.

    EngineerUnderstood.

    Yuki TSUNODAAlso, initial turning stability is not that great as well.

    EngineerCopy, Yuki. And keep up the pace please for pit lane timing.

  18. Valtteri BOTTASAlfa Romeo12:56:390:11

    EngineerOkay, so we have, as a reference, Norris in a 23-2 on soft. Per is still nine seconds behind. And mode push, mode push.

  19. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull12:57:220:09

    Max VERSTAPPENI'm getting way too much helmer lift

    EngineerUnderstood, thank you

  20. Valtteri BOTTASAlfa Romeo12:58:380:11

    Valtteri BOTTASSomething is wrong with the rear end, medium and high speed, there's zero grip, it feels like something is stalling.

  21. Logan SARGEANTWilliams13:00:170:54

    EngineerOk, cross target plus 10, we'll take a double slow, focus on dropping the rear, no third behind Back on balance, do you need flap adjust? Yeah, I'm 2.2 high speed, minus 1 to 1.5 Copy I feel like my change of direction in the chicanes are a little bit lazy Copy Can I have green 8, P11 please? First car pushing, Djokovic at turn 4 What am I targeting? Targeting plus 10, dropping rear, and we are boxing, driving through, pit lane, stopping, boxing, flap adjust, 1.5 down

  22. Sergio PEREZRed Bull13:01:520:07

    Sergio PEREZThere's three at toe, we haven't have at toe. Yep.

  23. Alexander ALBONWilliams13:02:560:26

    EngineerAre you still happy on doubles?

    Alexander ALBONYeah, I'm thinking about through the pit lane, doubles as well.

    EngineerYeah, so do you need a flap adjust, are you happy?

    Alexander ALBONOh, I'm interested to go two turns down just to see what happens.

    EngineerHappy that. So we'll come through the pits and stuff in the box for flap adjust and that'll be one more time. I think the soft tyre is about second lap tyre at the moment.

  24. ZHOU GuanyuAlfa Romeo13:04:160:07

    ZHOU GuanyuI'm buzzing all like crazy guys, it's like crazy, every time I go

  25. Felipe DRUGOVICHAston Martin13:06:040:14

    EngineerOkay Felipe, we'll go cool and strat 2 in the background, cool and strat 2 in the background. We're going to give you something for turn one with the tools, stand by. Focus on the rear left, cool it down.

  26. Yuki TSUNODAAlphaTauri13:07:100:09

    EngineerYuki, we see on the steer high speed, I would like to do a flap adjust, do you agree?

    Yuki TSUNODAYeah, we can do that.

  27. Esteban OCONAlpine13:08:150:10

    Esteban OCONOK, picked up on this TN2, down five.

    EngineerCan you press the OK button twice, please, Esteban?

  28. Nico HULKENBERGHaas13:10:170:04

    Audio only, no transcript

  29. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas13:10:200:20

    EngineerUpshifting too late into turn 4. In turn 4. I don't know what that means. Stand by. I'm not upshifting in turn 4. Stand by. Okay.

    Kevin MAGNUSSENWe're... Apparently

    Engineeryou are upshifting with wheel spin and that is the problem. Sorry Kev, sorry for the lack of clarity.

  30. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes13:11:320:15

    Lewis HAMILTONHappy to get into the long run mate.

    EngineerOK copy, thanks for that. You've got Sunoda behind 5.5 on a time. Unless you want to continue? Happy to get on with the long run, it's about time.

  31. Charles LECLERCFerrari13:13:250:19

    EngineerSo, can you repeat what you said? Did not copy?

    Charles LECLERCI would like to stay out to do the call-up. The telephone's a bit strange, so I'd just like to confirm that the changes we've got are good or not.

    EngineerCopy understood.

  32. Yuki TSUNODAAlphaTauri13:13:510:07

    Yuki TSUNODAHamilton don't

    Engineerknow

    Yuki TSUNODAhow to move away. Copy.

  33. Valtteri BOTTASAlfa Romeo13:15:220:08

    EngineerOkay, you are clear on traffic behind and tires are on target. Mode push when you're ready and we try again.

  34. Liam LAWSONAlphaTauri13:17:110:26

    EngineerOk Liam, so tyres might struggle for one more, but what's your preference? Do you want to try one more? Or we move to the long run?

    Liam LAWSONI think we can move to the long run, I don't think the tyres... What's coming? What's coming? Even on this lap, I had a lot less peak.

    EngineerCopy that. So it's turn 1, 1.5 tenths, and turn 8, mid to exit, same amount.

  35. Valtteri BOTTASAlfa Romeo13:18:040:07

    EngineerCan you confirm the car is better now, question?

    Valtteri BOTTASYes, better.

  36. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren13:18:340:19

    EngineerOrange Torque 10, Orange Torque 10, how's the time?

    Oscar PIASTRII'm ready to start going now.

    EngineerDo you think we can learn anything by changing the rear wing setting?

    Oscar PIASTRII think I can learn quickly.

  37. Logan SARGEANTWilliams13:19:420:06

    EngineerHow many turns this lap did you take out? 2.5

  38. Sergio PEREZRed Bull13:22:060:17

    EngineerBalance update?

    Sergio PEREZGenerally losing a bit of front left. But not too much.

    EngineerOk, think about turn 6, 7. Yeah,

    Sergio PEREZ100 to turn.

  39. Valtteri BOTTASAlfa Romeo13:22:420:06

    EngineerAfter you pull away from the pit stop, if you can, mode formation lap 1 burnout.

  40. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin13:23:230:10

    EngineerYeah, copy that, good, copy.

  41. Valtteri BOTTASAlfa Romeo13:23:550:09

    EngineerNext one behind would be Hamilton High Fuel, still 9 seconds. And try to relearn the gears on this out lap.

  42. Charles LECLERCFerrari13:25:030:08

    EngineerAnd just in case you need it, behind Hamilton there's a gap of 8 seconds to Hülkenberg.

  43. Liam LAWSONAlphaTauri13:25:360:07

    EngineerAnd same wind as before, 5 kph, tailwind turn 1.

  44. Logan SARGEANTWilliams13:26:280:13

    Logan SARGEANTI'm already losing careers a lot

    EngineerUnderstood increases like Oh six seven eight or seven increase like Oh ten six seven eight

  45. Felipe DRUGOVICHAston Martin13:27:310:11

    EngineerSo Felipe, we're cooling now, so cool, and we'll do one more push, so tire black E, tire black E.

  46. ZHOU GuanyuAlfa Romeo13:29:090:09

    EngineerWe stay out to take the flank for practice time on the grid. Watch Verstappen, then Paris. All pushing, high fuel.

  47. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas13:30:240:09

    EngineerOkay Kev, lift and coast are all good. Please try managing the traction phase of turn 6 a little bit more on the next lap.

  48. Esteban OCONAlpine13:31:440:20

    EngineerOkay, so that's the checkered flag, so recharge on, please recharge on. That will be the same safety car test that they did last week, so you'll see safety car deployed shortly on your dash. Follow the delta when that happens, please. And then can we go to display 4, please, display 4 to show temps.

  49. Nico HULKENBERGHaas13:32:190:09

    EngineerOkay, safety car is ending. It will be VSC. Still no overtaking. We're going around to the grid for a practice start. Mode slow.

  50. Lando NORRISMcLaren13:32:490:10

    EngineerAnd you have already an H13 position 5, that's good, it will be 1 plus 1 burnout standard on left hand side

  51. Esteban OCONAlpine13:33:180:11

    EngineerIf the VSC is still active, I'd still like you to keep as close to the Delta as possible. We're going to try and stop both cars, Pierre is just behind you, so we need to make a cap.

  52. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas13:34:180:09

    EngineerOK, practice split entry, stop on the marks, the guys will do a tyre change, and then P1 please.

  53. Felipe DRUGOVICHAston Martin13:35:190:23

    EngineerSo Felipe, we're going to do a pit stop, you're going to box, we're going to do a pit stop, then they're going to roll you forward and stop Fernando behind, and then we'll wheel you in the garage once Fernando stops done, okay? Yeah

    Felipe DRUGOVICHso you

    Engineercan use go one for brake balance, attack the pit entry, stop on the mark, static pit stop, and then engine off and they'll roll you forward.

  54. ZHOU GuanyuAlfa Romeo13:36:550:10

    ZHOU GuanyuI have a problem, I have a problem. I don't know how I get going because every time I pull the clutch it goes into anti-stall.

  55. Valtteri BOTTASAlfa Romeo14:05:540:10

    EngineerI'll

    Valtteri BOTTASbe quick in the box to fix this issue. The car is undriveable. The rear end in high speed is something is stalling.
