Lewis HAMILTONFront tires are vibrating already.
EngineerOkay, copy.
EngineerIt
Oscar PIASTRIwas quite late by the Red Bull.
EngineerYep, we saw that.
George RUSSELLLots of vibrations on the steering rack throughout my speed.
Lewis HAMILTONSeems to be losing a lot more on
Engineerthe
Lewis HAMILTONstraights.
EngineerYeah, copy that, we'll have a look at that.
Lewis HAMILTONSize of the gap that can have it front.
EngineerSo you've got three behind there two
Lewis HAMILTONand a half ahead But target if I want to tow target six
Nico HULKENBERGFlip the exit curve quite badly out of 7, check the floor there in the front. Yeah,
Engineercopy that.
Audio only, no transcript
EngineerAll right, so just need brake three and good to push next up. A few cars just leaving the pit lane now.
EngineerThey're happy to keep pushing keep leaning on the tires and then box box
EngineerAnd the wind is the same as yesterday.
Esteban OCONStill similar issues but less bouncing
EngineerWe are losing two tenths sector one similar sector two and losing around half a tenth sector three
EngineerLet 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 PEREZI picked up some 137.
Sergio PEREZLacking 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.
EngineerAlso seeing a bit of a loss through turn 6. Track will be clear, Ocon.
EngineerHey, you have Hamilton four seconds closing quickly let him through before 17
EngineerJust looks like we're over pushing the entry of turn 11
Lewis HAMILTONSo radiant throttle into last corner
EngineerSo it doesn't look like it so no pressure from behind
EngineerWe are seeing you over pushing the late entry for turn one compromising the exit
George RUSSELLLord of Understairs 17, I love you.
Fernando ALONSOBoth, all four tires, ice cold.
Yuki TSUNODAI have a horrible heart vibration this tire.
Audio only, no transcript
EngineerCancel handbrake, be about six. Sergeant opening a lap, four seconds behind.
George RUSSELLBalance is okay, just struggling for overall pace.
EngineerGuys, you've got to remind me to reset switches. I did the whole lap in Beaming 1.
Alexander ALBONThen 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
EngineerOk, Alonso turn 1, not sure what he's doing
EngineerYou can achieve that with flap, would you want something else?
Esteban OCONNo, we can't I don't think.
Esteban OCONYeah, the grip is picking up on the track massively
EngineerWe have got max 7 ahead on outlaps and he's going very slow not sure what he's doing
Audio only, no transcript
Lewis HAMILTONI'll be losing down the street.
EngineerA little bit difficult to tell. There was the lock-up into the final corner that cost about four or five tenths.
EngineerI
Pierre GASLYpicked up a bit more and steer turn one on this one
EngineerOkay, I think Max is going to box here, so just do what you want for the tyres.
EngineerI think we stay on plan for the next run.
EngineerOkay Trick, are you happy with this setup?
EngineerJust give the boys a heads up
Sergio PEREZYeah, we can try, we can try with fresh rubber.
EngineerLovely.
Charles LECLERCEvery time
EngineerUnderstood, Sainz lap time 33.2 that's his third lap and you did 32.7
EngineerSo with the hotter car those tires have come pretty good for 10-11.
Audio only, no transcript
Logan SARGEANTOh boy, okay.
EngineerGo cool. Go cool. Watch out Alonso behind pushing within six
Esteban OCONYeah, just lacking front end and high speed now.
Audio only, no transcript
George RUSSELLAfter a session, can we check the wheel balance on this set?
George RUSSELLVast is the past.
EngineerYeah, I'll make a note.
Audio only, no transcript
Max VERSTAPPENRugging a bit the rears, late braking into 11.
Max VERSTAPPENI need it for initial braking with much braking on the end.

Pierre GASLYstruggle to turn the car do I have front lock in turn 14?
EngineerYep,
Pierre GASLYstruggle to turn the car. Do I have front lock in turn 4?
Sergio PEREZStill on the warm side on tires?
EngineerYeah, still a bit warm. Go around again.
George RUSSELLI cannot get through Turn 2, it's so much harder.
EngineerHave a look at Turn 2 and get back to you.

Yuki TSUNODAAlright, it's incredibly slow on the stair!
EngineerOkay.
Audio only, no transcript
EngineerOh, I'm trying to lock the diff and nothing's working.
Logan SARGEANTAt high speed I just feel like I try to lean on the car and the rear just gives up. Low speed I get to the apex and I'm just snapping all over the place.
EngineerI'm really struggling to drive this at the moment the
Logan SARGEANTbalance is just all over the place
EngineerJust having some software issues here
Charles LECLERCThank you. Just tell him to let me pass before turn 1 in case he doesn't think. Thank you.
Sergio PEREZI found over the liberty out of one
Charles LECLERCYeah, it has other heats
ZHOU GuanyuI have a bit vibration on the car
EngineerCopy Joe
EngineerYeah, sure, but what I'm saying is that I don't have the sorry apologies it's changed
EngineerYou've got some reasonable tyre temperature, so have a look on your marks.
EngineerAnd Lando, ideally you'd be ahead of Oscar, who's the car in front of you. We have told him as well.
