Alexander ALBON: car feels better, definitely feel the right difference though.
Engineer: Max, we'd like to put in a change, PU side for the downshifts, do you have any objections? No, you'd think it's better. Okay, so that's engine 13, engine 1-3, position 4.
Lando NORRIS: I've got a flat spot on the front right
Engineer: OK understood, too much to go again, first car behind is Perez approaching the final corner
Lando NORRIS: I don't know, I mean I definitely got a bit more understeer now through the left-handers so I can go again but we'll see, I can always push the ball
