6. Lando NORRISMcLaren03:32:51

   Engineer: we can turn the launch map off still a fair few cars ahead to launch but everyone is

7. Lando NORRISMcLaren03:33:23

   Engineer: And Lando, the wind at the moment is different to expectation, so a small tailwind through the S's, but light, which happens to be a car behind and close. Four cars ahead still to go.

8. Lando NORRISMcLaren03:34:34

   Lando NORRIS: Do I even have a front wing on or something? We've got so much understeer.

   Engineer: Okay, understood. Let's box this lap then, we'll put front wing in.

9. Carlos SAINZFerrari03:35:49

   Carlos SAINZ: I got full of the green stuff from the McLaren, how do you call it? It's flow bins, yeah. Yeah, they're flow bins. They're full of it.

10. Pierre GASLYAlpine03:37:01

    Engineer: And how's the left-to-right balance?

    Pierre GASLY: Yeah, still a bit strange.

    Engineer: Okay, copy.

11. Esteban OCONAlpine03:38:24

    Engineer: Pierre's fastest lap for reference, 36.2. Two more laps.

12. ZHOU GuanyuAlfa Romeo03:38:53

    ZHOU Guanyu: I feel like I need more than one cool down lap for my wrist.

13. Sergio PEREZRed Bull03:39:23

    Engineer: Okay, check out we're boxing at the end of this lap so you can keep up the pace

14. Logan SARGEANTWilliams03:41:23

    Logan SARGEANT: I have a front limitation, but a lot of rear overheating.

15. Charles LECLERCFerrari03:43:10

    Charles LECLERC: Yeah, they were all

16. Esteban OCONAlpine03:45:16

    Engineer: Did

    Esteban OCON: I run over some *** thing

    Engineer: just

    Esteban OCON: here?

17. Esteban OCONAlpine03:45:23

    Engineer: Not sure, we'll have a look at that.

18. Esteban OCONAlpine03:45:28

    Esteban OCON: There was some dirt or something just when I turned in

19. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull03:45:55

    Max VERSTAPPEN: That Mercedes is so dangerous in the way there.

20. George RUSSELLMercedes03:47:26

    George RUSSELL: The balance at turn 2 and turn 14, much worse than 1 and 13.

21. Alexander ALBONWilliams03:48:55

    Engineer: Okay, so it'll be plus five on the dash on a call. Maintain the front, drop the rear. You're in sync with Vestapha behind. Potentially Sonoda or Pushy is about seven back.

22. Yuki TSUNODAAlphaTauri03:50:12

    Yuki TSUNODA: I have quite a lot of dollars there.

23. Liam LAWSONAlphaTauri03:55:33

    Engineer: GPS not working, keep your mirrors open Yeah, copy, I'm looking, thank you

24. Liam LAWSONAlphaTauri03:56:07

    Liam LAWSON: or 4?

25. Nico HULKENBERGHaas03:58:33

    Nico HULKENBERG: The GX is back to 1. I

    Engineer: feel the shifts are very harsh and bad. Okay, I'll check with the guys.

26. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes03:59:26

    Lewis HAMILTON: Slow singles, yeah?

27. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes03:59:29

    Engineer: Yeah, yeah, so slower than the Delta time, we've got Maxon on an out lap, he's at four and a half seconds.

28. Liam LAWSONAlphaTauri04:00:14

    Liam LAWSON: The kerb riding is tricky last year game main main issue

29. Esteban OCONAlpine04:01:28

    Engineer: How was the balance, please?

30. Esteban OCONAlpine04:01:31

    Engineer: A little bit on the nose, maybe half a turn. Understood, Hamilton 4 behind time-lapse, apologies, Hamilton 3 behind time-lapse.

31. George RUSSELLMercedes04:03:36

    Engineer: Oh, and he

    George RUSSELL: knew how to make it. Oh no, he doesn't know

    Engineer: how to do

    George RUSSELL: it.

32. Esteban OCONAlpine04:05:24

    Engineer: Okay, so happily switches got the yellow modifier for 11 to try

33. Liam LAWSONAlphaTauri04:07:11

    Engineer: Bottas 3 behind pushing. I leave it up to you if we have to let him buy. Bottas 2.

34. Liam LAWSONAlphaTauri04:07:17

    Engineer: I'll let him go. Yeah, sounds good to me.

35. Liam LAWSONAlphaTauri04:09:30

    Liam LAWSON: Just after turn 10, I lost the tyre.

36. ZHOU GuanyuAlfa Romeo04:10:14

38. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren04:14:33

    Engineer: Oscar, driver reported some light drops of rain, but we don't see anything on the radar, just for your awareness.

    Oscar PIASTRI: Yeah, some very light drops at Spoon.

39. Lance STROLLAston Martin04:17:10

    Engineer: Clear after Lawson, so get in the box they're ready for you for flap adjust

40. Liam LAWSONAlphaTauri04:18:04

    Liam LAWSON: Yeah, really the low speed is the

    Engineer: tricky part Loud and clear, we see some potential small things on engine braking we need to change for the next session as well

41. Alexander ALBONWilliams04:20:00

    Engineer: Can we calm down the shifts? Yeah copy, green 8 position 9, green 8 position 9

42. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull04:21:08

    Engineer: Thoughts on tyres?

    Max VERSTAPPEN: Yeah, not fantastic. Moving around a lot at high speed.

    Engineer: Understood.

43. Yuki TSUNODAAlphaTauri04:22:22

    Yuki TSUNODA: Check the left mirror. Check the left mirror. It's vibrating a lot.

44. Yuki TSUNODAAlphaTauri04:22:28

    Yuki TSUNODA: Definitely not right.

    Engineer: Copy, therefore we need to stop, box, box, stop in front of the garage.

45. Esteban OCONAlpine04:25:49

    Esteban OCON: through turn two basically. I pick up quite a bit of wheel spin on exit through the corner so...

46. Liam LAWSONAlphaTauri04:26:41

    Engineer: Ok Liam, we can see a clear issue on engine braking for the low speeds, which is hurting us. We will fix it for the next session.

47. Sergio PEREZRed Bull04:28:53

    Sergio PEREZ: I have got a bit of back on the reed. How many laps left?

    Engineer: One more after this one.

48. Sergio PEREZRed Bull04:29:42

    Engineer: Let's let Max through.

49. Yuki TSUNODAAlphaTauri04:30:40

    Yuki TSUNODA: It's so unnecessary by this guy

50. Pierre GASLYAlpine04:32:28

    Pierre GASLY: I want to check how we are operating the tires for the sector, because we have a lot of sliding.

    Engineer: Yeah, copy.

51. Logan SARGEANTWilliams04:32:30

    Logan SARGEANT: I don't know why he wants to sit under my rear wing for the whole run. Just stupid.

    Engineer: Don't worry about him, don't worry about him.

52. Sergio PEREZRed Bull04:33:14

    Sergio PEREZ: Tires are not really cooling.

53. Sergio PEREZRed Bull04:33:18
