Max VERSTAPPENMade my head rest again. I'm stuck all the time in my head
EngineerCharge on. So cool down lap. So let's take it really easy. Looks like a slow down lap of around 2 minutes 20. It was good this morning.
Logan SARGEANTCopy, did you say minus 5?
EngineerMinus 5, I fear. Melnos to Magnuson was minimum speed, 10.5 onwards this section.
EngineerSo let's bring the temperatures down on these tyres.
Lando NORRISMy dash has gone completely black, I cannot see anything
ZHOU GuanyuCopy. Special one for turn 528. Question.
EngineerYes John, try this one.
EngineerYour P2, 29.6, Checo 29.7
Audio only, no transcript
Lando NORRISCopy that.
EngineerAnd it's just recharge on now and boxes that.
Lando NORRISCopy that.
EngineerAnd you've got 10 seconds to Magnusson behind.
EngineerSeven.
George RUSSELLCheck. Aero balancing. Entry at 4. Check. Aero balancing. Entry at 4.
EngineerYou okay Kev? I'm good. Okay.
Kevin MAGNUSSENI spun. I brushed the wall but I don't think it's any damage.
EngineerOkay, we think it's okay as well. We'll keep you informed.
George RUSSELLCheck aero balancing, entry at 4
EngineerWatch Leclerc behind you start pushing.
Oscar PIASTRIYeah, copy. Do we want to do more laps on this tyre? It feels quite good.
EngineerOkay, happy to pick up the pace a little bit and work on your front tires.
EngineerOpen the gap, not sure what Perez is going to do.
George RUSSELLLet me know on wind direction, PU feels like it's pulling very strong into turn 4 So that was 10 to
Engineerthe right
George RUSSELLWind direction is same as FP1
Sergio PEREZOh my goodness
EngineerOk Lando, Sargent is the car behind. He should be on a slow down lap with you now. And we are going to do what we planned.
EngineerOkay, can we go back to tyre on the multi, please? We have a completely clear track behind.
EngineerBlue mode free and Oscar how do you think the tires are for a second cool down lap or should we push again?
Oscar PIASTRII think push again to be honest.
EngineerSo same wind direction and intensity, no one pushing behind Will be mode push for last corner, mode push
Engineerconsidering to try that a single call but a very slow so with a single call we'd have to be very slow considering to try that a single call but one
Fernando ALONSOis there now it's
Engineergot a bit of a gap now little slow cars behind the next fast cars Norris 12 if you would like
EngineerHülkenberg six seconds behind

EngineerExit 7, multi-A, diff exit 7, Perez pushing.
EngineerYeah, clear.
Yuki TSUNODADid you have much grip in the rear, at the first sector? Did you have much grip in the rear?
EngineerEngine 11, position 4.
EngineerIf you want to stay in front you have to keep up the pace
EngineerSo just recharge off when you're ready, Max. Okay, so the track will be...
Engineershould be in phase with you and charge lap time 9.4 and then lock the front to be white charge
Engineerwe see a jump in one of the sensors uh let you know if we need any other action uh we have Verstappen on a time lap we see a jump in one of the sensors uh let you know if we need
EngineerWe see a jump in one of the sensors let you know if we need any other action
George RUSSELLCheck steering the vibration through the high speed and check bouncing high speed
Nyck DE VRIESAbort. Abort.
EngineerI
Nyck DE VRIESlost the guy at the turbo.
George RUSSELLThat was a timely place, McLaren.
George RUSSELLSector 1, or obviously I didn't finish Sector 1 when I was behind Norris.
EngineerYeah, no DRS because it was yellow. Ah, but you can keep pushing mate, you shouldn't have bolts. Okay, that's it now. Yeah, that's it now.
Charles LECLERCYeah, I'll do one cool down and go again
EngineerSo we cannot complete a full lap if you push next lap, so if you push next lap you have to come in at the end
EngineerI
Alexander ALBONjust said I was more driving than anything else, the improvements.
George RUSSELLI think it's three-wheeling through, but left-hander, turn two.
EngineerAnd Lalo suggesting, yes box the slap and suggest right hand toggle turn 11 and turn 17. Box the slap.
Alexander ALBONHave we fixed that prelim, sir?
EngineerYeah, that should be good now.
EngineerAnd we see a bit of front graining on some other cars.
Nyck DE VRIESYeah, from high speed we have still two in this theory.
EngineerAnd we have the same win as before gap to Norris in front five seconds and mode race for last corner mode race
EngineerSo for info, wind strength has picked up, directionally the same.
Sergio PEREZShall we let Hamilton through, or...? There's a good gap here, keep on pushing.
EngineerThis is as good a gap as you're going to get.
Fernando ALONSOThat's
Engineera
Fernando ALONSOjoke isn't
Engineerit?
Fernando ALONSOHe's fighting the free practice. Just be careful, he's still two zones back, but yeah.
EngineerYou were on a flying lap when Ocon didn't get on the way.
Fernando ALONSOYeah, but the free practice is the moment, so it's
Engineergood.
Fernando ALONSOCopy.
EngineerWe can make an adjustment. I'll have to say, Kev, your pace looked really strong.
Charles LECLERCI crashed into an A.
EngineerCopy. You OK?
Charles LECLERCYeah, yeah. Because the front right obviously is completely gone.
EngineerCopy.
Carlos SAINZWell, just what happened to Chelsea, lost the rear or the front? Lost the rear
EngineerPress and hold, overtake, five seconds. Press and hold, five seconds.
Yuki TSUNODAI forgot to skip it up, lap by lap.
EngineerTorque 3, torque 3 And no bypass, no bypass
