EngineerSo most people on a hard tyre, we've got Norris and Boat for Rise I've seen on a medium.

ZHOU GuanyuIt's really hard shifting.

George RUSSELLQuite a bit of bottom in there

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, the clutch is almost impossible out of the pits.

EngineerOkay, understood.

EngineerEnergy is good to keep on pushing.

EngineerTyres are still low, we're continuous pushing.

George RUSSELLI'm happy to go one more again after this if the tyres are still good.

Max VERSTAPPENCount bottoming a lot.

EngineerUnderstood.

Max VERSTAPPENAlack, out of eight.

EngineerOn the set.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, the car in high speed places is unbelievable difficult to drive

Charles LECLERCCan we go, can we go through the pit lane, do a flap adjust and go out in a good place?

EngineerI

George RUSSELLthink I'm blocking the rears of it

Engineerinto the hairpin.

George RUSSELLRight, it's tricky. Both axles.

Max VERSTAPPENIt's

Engineera

Max VERSTAPPENweird spot to make out massively. Yeah,

Engineerunderstood Max. Okay, so currently third 15.7, Alonso 15.6. Yeah I know, but that's irrelevant, we have to sort our... Okay, Sunoda 2 seconds, yes understood Max, that was just information. We can't sort that from here obviously.

EngineerOkay, so I'd like to do another push lap after this and then option to do another slow fast afterwards as well before we do three laps of sustainable at the end.

Max VERSTAPPENI'm 8, I want to box, I'm going to shunt like this with the car set up like this

EngineerOk, understood, you can box

Engineerwe need to

Charles LECLERCdo some changes on the car so if we can take just a little bit margin to do those changes

EngineerAre you happy with the car mechanically, or do you want to change?

Valtteri BOTTASYes, happy.

EngineerOkay, then we can go for one more push.

Valtteri BOTTASYeah, initially it was too much on the nose, but now the track is getting better, so it's coming to us.

EngineerWe can do another cool push, but I'm happy as well if you have been some people are starting to pit now

Logan SARGEANTI'm struggling with quite a bit of understeer.

EngineerSo losing exit turn 1 and turn 8

Pierre GASLYJust let me know please where I have margin on the rear, I'm struggling a bit on braking

EngineerYeah, copy

EngineerSo suggest offset minus one and shape one for the whole lap.

EngineerOkay, so sector times, you're fast for the max sector one, tenth and a half off in sector two and four tenths off him in sector three

Logan SARGEANTSomething's wrong.

EngineerYeah, that's wrong, that's wrong.

Logan SARGEANTOh no, weird sound.

EngineerNo drive. Firstly pushing within 3, copy. Standby, leave the radio off.

EngineerOnce you're in the pit lane, you can do one or two burnouts before you stop please.

EngineerCurrently P1, still got some cars to run but next car's two tenths to Sainz.

Alexander ALBONNo, no, no, we need to drop everything.

Alexander ALBONMy main limitation right now is front ride compliance, just the cambers, the curves, everything is really affecting confidence and just being able to rotate the car.

EngineerI

George RUSSELLcan't really give a tie, it's working, I have to be confident

George RUSSELLWhere are the surface temps?

George RUSSELLI can't really get my tyres working, I need to be confident. Like I'm just losing the rear, exit of three and through four the thing's just sliding.

Engineer8x0, feels like the front's too strong.

George RUSSELLNo, feels like the rear's too weak.

EngineerI will go for the next lap. Yes, yes, battery should be okay.

EngineerAnd recharge on. Watch for debris. Red flag, red flag.

Valtteri BOTTASAny information work for debris from

EngineerHulkenberg that 11 so I think you already passed the worst but watch out

Logan SARGEANTHigh speed, I'm missing some rotation.

EngineerSo I'd make a bit of a gap early, say 5-6-7-8, turn 5-6-7-8, make the gap there, have a good clean run then through sector 3.

EngineerJust recharge off. Icon's gone. Just bot has to go.

Sergio PEREZI picked up somebody

George RUSSELLThe same as the outlap of the Lafren,

Engineerfront

George RUSSELLbrakes don't really work on the outlap, but come see me

EngineerI'm showing his GPS position keep your eye on your mirrors, please. He did a prep lap to start or at least a ball to the first

EngineerBig

George RUSSELLrear slide, tab one.

Sergio PEREZYeah, four clicks.

EngineerFour clicks, copy. Leclerc at one and a half.

EngineerPush tires are cold tires are cold the caution

Charles LECLERCWhat is that?

Sergio PEREZYeah, first sorry for Fernando, I could not move

ZHOU GuanyuYeah, copy. I'm locking up all to the second last call. Struggling a bit with the balance.

Max VERSTAPPENI've lost the rear completely and it's in.

Logan SARGEANTYeah, I mean for Alex, is he okay?

EngineerYeah, I'll feed back to you. I'll feed back to you. He's okay. He's okay. Just box Keep temperature in the tires and your brakes
