Esteban OCON: Okay, I have no power guys
Esteban OCON: Okay, I will manage to bring it back, but get the fans ready for the reels. Yeah, bring it back.
Engineer: And both Gasly and Ocon aborted their Spurs push. Gasly converted to a build.
Sergio PEREZ: Turn 1 was very difficult to get the chip in, to chip in.
Sergio PEREZ: Yeah, physical tipping is one then it kind of gets better
Engineer: Yeah,
Sergio PEREZ: I would try to get a little bit more aggressive stopping so more migration
Engineer: So from our side it would be interesting to try shape 4 for a lap, shape 4 for a lap, still see a reasonable amount of rear locking.
Engineer: Yeah, we need as much temp as we can get with the green track so push these guys if you can
ZHOU Guanyu: You had sex with that red bull? You just can't defecate!
ZHOU Guanyu: it's
Engineer: a
ZHOU Guanyu: bit sliding a bit but yeah
Engineer: Both cars had a potential opening, but if you can push through that's good. There's a large gap in front of the comeback
Carlos SAINZ: There's where a bit of push, yes.
Engineer: Gas lead to open opportunity, focus exit, turn 19.
Engineer: Orlando behind, two seconds, I don't know if he's aborting, or if he's slowing down, yeah he's slowing down behind, all clear.
Engineer: It's a main losses to max mid corner 3-4 entry of five
Charles LECLERC: Can you let me know if I touched the wall in turn 14? I think I did a little bit, but because the wall is soft you cannot really feel it inside the car actually.
Engineer: And on data everything is fine, so no worries to continue.
Alexander ALBON: Brakes were really dangerous then.
Engineer: Last question.
Engineer: Last corner as well, we can go in a bit more gently, prioritise exit at 19 as well.
Yuki TSUNODA: Braking is so bad. It's so inconsistent.
Engineer: Engine braking 2 test. Engine braking 2.
Engineer: from traffic behind we've got Perez seven seconds slow lap can we go to diff gain seven please diff gain seven
Charles LECLERC: Yeah, can you see what's happening in 2 turns just before the first S of the swing pull? I think we are bottoming like crazy there.
Engineer: Copy, we'll come back to you on that.
George RUSSELL: I think we need double
Engineer: Only deficit to check out entry turn 3, there is some fuel effect in there as well
Engineer: Some indication we're going over the peak of the tyre turn five
Max VERSTAPPEN: Just one is a bit slippery. I don't know, a bit odd.
Engineer: Okay, Term 1 is strong at the moment.
Charles LECLERC: We need to change the car, I need to lift in the S of the swimming pool because I have no control of the car.
Esteban OCON: Now I think the balance is coming towards us, it was a bit loose in the beginning, poor traction.
Lewis HAMILTON: Where is that 4 in the middle?
Engineer: Turn 6 is the majority of it. Now you've got Ocon behind all the slow ones. Is it just a pegged speed or...?
Lewis HAMILTON: So you've got Ocon behind all the slow-mo's. Is it just a packed speed, or...?
George RUSSELL: Had a hefty head-of-the-wall entry of penultimate corner, I think it's okay.
Alexander ALBON: Are we not going to catch a lot of cars on our outlap?
Engineer: On their outlaps? No, it's quiet at the moment.
Alexander ALBON: Roo is not ready in turn 1 and then Font's
Engineer: grading a lot in 5-7 Hamilton coming through, Hamilton close by
Logan SARGEANT: I'm driving around with just straight static in my ear.
Engineer: Understood, we didn't find the issue.
Engineer: Would you be spark one? Would you be spark one?
Engineer: So Gasly first pushing car 19 So we need to make a gap earlier. You've got three cars ahead of you to go next lap So scrub the front slow speed and we can take a gap now
Engineer: And Lando, Strat 2 still, if you want to go again you can do, or let's do a cool down lap.
Logan SARGEANT: My tires are gone after one my tires are gone
Yuki TSUNODA: Yeah, this break is so bad
Engineer: So to display 3, position 3, plus 1 when you can, no threats behind, display 3, position 3, plus 1, double call.
Engineer: I have no power to... Stop the car, stop the car, stop the car, stop the car.
Lewis HAMILTON: How far are we down?
Engineer: I have still P8
George RUSSELL: and if we have to canvass starts, low fuel is
Engineer: the
George RUSSELL: priority.
Nyck DE VRIES: Yeah, PS3 is dropping a lot.
Engineer: And Kelsin, do you want to close on it? No, the track is clear in front of Sein.
Engineer: But we're in a good place. We're in a good place.
Nyck DE VRIES: Yeah, agreed.
Engineer: Yeah, it looks like that is damaged there, so it will stop stop
Lewis HAMILTON: No
Engineer: worries
Engineer: It wasn't easy also for Verstappen, he did a 12.8 after a prep or a bolt the first push, and he did a 12.7.
Engineer: Car is in the wall exit turn five
