The session, message by message

  1. Lando NORRISMcLaren16:01:440:07

    EngineerAnd Lando, just a reminder, please do not use exit curve in turn 10.

  2. Lando NORRISMcLaren16:02:190:09

    EngineerAnd feedback on the launch, that was target plus one, timing slightly late, target plus one.

  3. Carlos SAINZFerrari16:02:480:08

    EngineerAnd more tailwind braking turn 4, more tailwind braking turn 4, all clear, you can go.

  4. Lance STROLLAston Martin16:02:530:06

    Lance STROLLBig problem. Completely lost power.

  5. Lance STROLLAston Martin16:05:000:11

    EngineerWe're standing by there just checking if we can get the car fired up We'll try and get you back to standby if we need to turn it off attempts. I'll let you know but standing by

  6. Lance STROLLAston Martin16:05:410:08

    Engineerand Lance tell them to stay away we're still going to try and fire this up

  7. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren16:06:030:10

    Oscar PIASTRII can see something hanging from the rear rig duct it looks like, on the left rear

  8. Lance STROLLAston Martin16:06:130:12

    EngineerOK Lance, we believe we need to turn the car off and jump out I'm afraid so turn it off P0, it must be P0 and jump out I'm sorry

  9. Yuki TSUNODAAlphaTauri16:06:210:06

    Yuki TSUNODAI want to change the helmet to the dark visor.

  10. Esteban OCONAlpine16:08:170:11

    EngineerAlright, so hopefully this recovery isn't too long. We're going to keep the turnarounders, or we're just going to sit ready to go basically.

  11. Nico HULKENBERGHaas16:09:280:08

    EngineerSlow okay, and we want to try to avoid pull forwards. We also want to try and do a start so we send you out there now

  12. Liam LAWSONAlphaTauri16:09:590:12

    EngineerOkay Liam, there will be a big train behind you, you just focus on what you need to do for yourself. And we try to keep the position. There's a very long queue coming behind, position is good.

  13. Esteban OCONAlpine16:11:380:10

    EngineerTire temps are good so I'd say we can just treat this as a normal outlap, no need for any additional energy.

  14. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren16:13:390:11

    EngineerThese cars ahead are just open laps, cars behind are just finishing laps, that's science 12 seconds

  15. Alexander ALBONWilliams16:14:150:08

    Engineerokay so i'll take a call the time remaining do you think you can get away with a single if so plus 15 15.

  16. Charles LECLERCFerrari16:15:210:21

    EngineerSo, compared to science data 22.6, half a tenth faster sector 1, and half a tenth slower sector 2, and then faster again sector 3. So, you have faster sector 1 and 3, slower sector 2, compared to science.

  17. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren16:15:330:05

    Oscar PIASTRIYeah, nice, from Hamilton.

  18. George RUSSELLMercedes16:15:480:08

    George RUSSELLJust checking for curbstrike at one place for next run

  19. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin16:16:030:06

    EngineerWe're happy to have a good break just put some energy into the front

  20. Lando NORRISMcLaren16:16:230:07

    EngineerAnd suggestion, right hand toggle for turn 4, left hand toggle for turn 6.

  21. Nico HULKENBERGHaas16:19:130:13

    EngineerI

    Nico HULKENBERGthink we've got to go back on the ride changes. It feels worse in many places and it's not really gaining low speed. Yeah, okay, understood. We'll get into that.

  22. Esteban OCONAlpine16:20:500:14

    EngineerIt's a bit of a mix of cars that improved on the second lap. Currently, as our reference, Pierre has not. He did fast, slow, fast and was slower on the second fast. I think he's going for another time now.

  23. Liam LAWSONAlphaTauri16:22:350:13

    EngineerOkay Liam, that's a good effort. That was very good sector 1 and 2. We were one tensorhead in each sector, and yeah, shame about turn 11. So we'll have a chat, or we can do better there.

  24. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes16:25:010:24

    EngineerMain loss to George, exit turn 2 and also exit turn 10, maybe pushing entry turn 8 too much 6

    Lewis HAMILTONtenths coming from the first sector, it's

    Engineerjust two straights It's mainly straight line but yeah there is a little bit of a loss turn 1 too

    Lewis HAMILTONCan we put change?

    EngineerWill cost us about 15 minutes of track time at least

  25. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes16:25:140:22

    Lewis HAMILTONHow far am I down in the highest speed in

    Engineera straight line? Yeah, so it looks like we're about 5k down to George, so that's a bit more than sim.

    Lewis HAMILTON6 tenths coming from the first sector, which is just two straights.

    EngineerIt's mainly straight line, but yeah, there is a little bit of a loss term 1-2.

  26. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren16:26:500:31

    EngineerOscar, would you like one more lap?

    Oscar PIASTRII'm happy to box there, for high fuel.

    EngineerCopy, so we box this lap. That is P13. But as I said before, only yourself and Magnussen on hard, other cars on medium, couple of soft runners. So Oscar, from turn 7 to 8, you go Strap 5, no DRS, recharge off, Strap 5.

  27. Logan SARGEANTWilliams16:28:540:23

    Logan SARGEANTNo, I messed up,

    EngineerI

    Logan SARGEANTneed to abort

    EngineerYou sure? You sure?

    Logan SARGEANTWell, I missed turn 1, so... Ok

    EngineerWait, wait You're not going to get another lap, but... Like that, but ok, that's fine, go cool

    Logan SARGEANTWhy?

    EngineerYou're not going to get another tour, that's what I mean It was a good opportunity, but anyway, go cool I'll feedback you on tyres

  28. Carlos SAINZFerrari16:33:550:07

    Carlos SAINZWe are looking into port.

    EngineerCopy.

  29. Nico HULKENBERGHaas16:34:040:16

    EngineerOkay, Nico, so you're in sync with a ton of cars on back off laps and out laps. So, yes, Sonota, there's a lot of cars ahead, so you should be able to do what you need and find a tow at the end of it.

  30. Esteban OCONAlpine16:35:210:23

    EngineerHow's the balance, please?

    Esteban OCONA little bit of entry instability into 6 and some on the steer mid then.

    EngineerA

    Esteban OCONlittle bit too much on the steer and parabolic 11.

    EngineerOK, understood. Would you like to go for a second lap on this time?

    Esteban OCONYeah. OK,

    Engineerunderstood. So we'll go for double cool.

  31. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull16:36:520:15

    Max VERSTAPPENWe're not going to try again, because I had a ****ing REIT.

    EngineerIt's not qualifying, Max.

    Max VERSTAPPENYeah, I know, but I want to have a proper REIT.

  32. Charles LECLERCFerrari16:37:430:07

    EngineerAnd we need a good exit turn 2. We see that you had a snap there.

  33. Nico HULKENBERGHaas16:38:570:07

    EngineerOnly loss to Kevin is turn 4, breaking your lap overall was 0.3 quicker.

  34. Carlos SAINZFerrari16:39:440:17

    EngineerI

    Carlos SAINZhope the call will not work,

    Engineerlet's do a quick turn around yeah we are triggered for that, place to focus is turn 11, we can check together pit confirm and box will be stop on the marks full crew pit stop and engine off, pit confirm

  35. Liam LAWSONAlphaTauri16:42:150:38

    EngineerOkay Liam, so second push is a little bit irrelevant, nobody improved and the tyres can't take it. On the first push it was turn 8, main loss, so we'll have a look at this.

    Liam LAWSONYeah, copy copy. Copy that, yeah, I honestly, I just didn't have the, really the big grip increase that I was expecting. We had no toe, which sucked, but yeah, I had good traction out of two, I noticed a difference there, but entry of one, yeah,

    EngineerI

    Liam LAWSONdidn't mind.

  36. ZHOU GuanyuAlfa Romeo16:43:500:13

    ZHOU GuanyuThey have more O-Brain, the last ones, is it ok if I go ahead to Pedal?

    EngineerPedal 1, Pedal 1, stay ahead of Paris, might be high fuel

  37. Carlos SAINZFerrari16:45:010:19

    Carlos SAINZI think we start here to protect the rear, understood,

    Engineermakes sense to us, 9 time lapse on the board, and status 3 to start,

    Carlos SAINZhow many laps?

    Engineer9 time lapse, 9, and torque 1 with this engine, torque 1

  38. Esteban OCONAlpine16:48:160:16

    EngineerSo you have recharge on currently, we can go recharge off when you're ready. Yeah but I'm at the bottom of the pack guys, so I will recharge and then go... Yeah yeah, no no, that's what I said, recharge off when you're ready and push, all good.

  39. Alexander ALBONWilliams16:48:560:07

    EngineerSo we're looking at eight time lapse to the flag gap to Hamilton at three seconds

  40. Nico HULKENBERGHaas16:49:250:08

    EngineerTurn 6 was good, 3.5. Perez, 4 behind, medium-high fuel.

  41. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull16:51:280:13

    EngineerJust look out, Checo's off the track for the moment, but he's looking to come on track, you're clear for now Red flag Max, dash positive

  42. Pierre GASLYAlpine16:52:040:14

    Pierre GASLYI'm happy to queue, when it will restart.

    EngineerRoger that, and a bit of start feedback, the drop was good and the drive out was a bit overdriven.

  43. Liam LAWSONAlphaTauri16:53:210:11

    EngineerAnd Liam, that's 7 minutes to the checkout flag, 7 minutes, so we get ready and we see if we can go out for a few laps.

  44. Alexander ALBONWilliams16:55:460:06

    EngineerIt'll be green in 30, keep it running, it'll be two times before the flag, two times.

  45. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren16:57:180:28

    EngineerSo, Oscar, I'm keen to learn about these brakes where you have to, let's say, wrestle with other cars a bit. I'm happy to use DRS on these laps if you're close enough, and I prefer to learn a bit about the following and overtaking. You should get a few timed laps. There is currently 30 seconds margin to that. Obviously, there'll be some spread this lap.

  46. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes16:58:130:06

    EngineerSo we've got 20 seconds in hand to get those two laps

  47. Nico HULKENBERGHaas16:59:240:05

    EngineerStarting last lap. No management needed.

  48. Alexander ALBONWilliams17:00:210:09

    Engineerso you will take the flag you can push to exit 10 push to exit 10

  49. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull17:01:240:10

    EngineerDid you learn anything?

    Max VERSTAPPENNo, not really.

    EngineerWell done.

  50. Esteban OCONAlpine17:01:280:09

    EngineerI'd like to cool the car and tyres as best we can please, cool the car and tyres as best we can on the way to the grid.

  51. Nico HULKENBERGHaas17:02:410:20

    EngineerThe

    Nico HULKENBERGlast uh the previous start I did was the clutch drop too deep because it was very weird

    Engineerclutch

    Nico HULKENBERGdrop with a lot of oscillation and vibration.

    EngineerYour clutch drop was okay it's uh the stuff we're working on so just do the same clutch drop it'll be okay so mode slow.

  52. Pierre GASLYAlpine17:04:250:13

    Pierre GASLYLet's check the connection behind the radio button because sometimes I press it and it doesn't switch on.

    EngineerCopy that, we'll have a look.

  53. Carlos SAINZFerrari17:06:090:09

    EngineerOk, good job today, it was tidy, and happy birthday.

    Carlos SAINZThank you.

  54. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes17:27:170:12

    Lewis HAMILTONI'd rather box and get this change and move just way out of bed.

    EngineerYeah, I think that would wipe out most of our program, that's the problem with this.

  55. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull17:35:550:07

    Max VERSTAPPENThat middle section was shocking with the traffic.

  56. Sergio PEREZRed Bull17:39:220:08

    Sergio PEREZWhat a mess these guys are creating. Come on. Come on. We need to be better than this

  57. Yuki TSUNODAAlphaTauri17:47:420:17

    Yuki TSUNODAWell, see, again, Lewis just didn't move away.

    EngineerYeah, I saw that copy.

    Yuki TSUNODAIt's okay. I'll just send it to him. No, it was Russell.
