Esteban OCON: Still similar issues but less bouncing
Engineer: We are losing two tenths sector one similar sector two and losing around half a tenth sector three
Engineer: Let me know if you want to do a single cool down now, or double. Give me the gaps, give me the gaps, it's important, I don't see anything. Pérez 5 seconds now, Pérez 5.
Sergio PEREZ: I picked up some 137.
Sergio PEREZ: Lacking a bit of rotation in turn 7. Generally we pick up a bit more stability in the high speed, which was positive. I'm still struggling with the rear end of braking of 11, which hurts it.
Engineer: Also seeing a bit of a loss through turn 6. Track will be clear, Ocon.
Engineer: Hey, you have Hamilton four seconds closing quickly let him through before 17
Engineer: Just looks like we're over pushing the entry of turn 11
Lewis HAMILTON: So radiant throttle into last corner
Engineer: So it doesn't look like it so no pressure from behind
Engineer: We are seeing you over pushing the late entry for turn one compromising the exit

Yuki TSUNODA: I have a horrible heart vibration this tire.

George RUSSELL: Balance is okay, just struggling for overall pace.
Engineer: Guys, you've got to remind me to reset switches. I did the whole lap in Beaming 1.
Alexander ALBON: Then pull toggles, beaming one is not enough just check where this front lock is happening and we just need to Maybe use engine braking on or something. I don't know
Engineer: Ok, Alonso turn 1, not sure what he's doing
Engineer: You can achieve that with flap, would you want something else?
Esteban OCON: No, we can't I don't think.
