The session, message by message
ZHOU GuanyuAlright, quick question, the dash brightness is back to yesterday AM session or not?
EngineerProbably we need to have adjustment after this one, Joel.
ZHOU GuanyuYeah, that's what I thought.
EngineerAnd the wind is similar to FP2 so quite low
Sergio PEREZThe rear is still on the edge. Feels a bit too pointy. The end twist.
EngineerBit
ZHOU Guanyutoo new to the car
Audio only, no transcript
EngineerI had
Valtteri BOTTASsome traffic there, got blocked by the car and yeah.
Max VERSTAPPENThese options, what the f***?
Lewis HAMILTONJust let me know where that time is in turn 1, 2.

Audio only, no transcript
Logan SARGEANTIf you can see anything, look at the floor, ran wide, Exeter 7, I just skated on that curb
EngineerOk, we'll have a look
EngineerAnything we need to check or too aggressive on power, the only thing we can see?
Liam LAWSONYeah, AstroTurf and then just too aggressive on power. These tires are flat spotted.
EngineerOkay, can we do a practice start or do you have to stop?
Liam LAWSONNo, no, we can.
EngineerOkay, do you think we check the data if we can stay out?
EngineerIt
Nico HULKENBERGfeels strange. I just don't feel I have the grip and the braking retardation also still doesn't feel very great.
EngineerOkay, understood. We'll look at both of those.
EngineerWas that an improvement?
Sergio PEREZNot really, I'm still sliding on entries. And then the front is feeling quite light on the braking.
Max VERSTAPPENI went wide.
EngineerOkay, let's box.
Lewis HAMILTONAnd so, middle and last sector are decent?
EngineerCopy, yeah, both purple at the moment. It's just that, yeah, down a big chunk in sector one.
Lewis HAMILTONJust tell me where that is exactly.
EngineerLate braking turn one, late braking turn five and also exit turn five.
Max VERSTAPPENI'm sorry but I cannot drive through these unfits. What the **** is this?
EngineerWe were anticipating the comment. I'll have a look and see if I can give you a switch position. Unacceptable.
EngineerFox is lap like to test something on the upshifts.
Max VERSTAPPENI literally just came to the pits.
EngineerI know
EngineerUpshift feedback please Max.
Max VERSTAPPENYeah, maybe a little bit smoother. But yeah, miles up still. It's just getting the wheels spinning. It's not only upshifts, it's also downshifts.
EngineerOkay, understood.
Max VERSTAPPENI'm just struggling for rear grip. You see that last sector, they're just drifting.
EngineerI
Max VERSTAPPENthink if I'm competing drifting, I might win the race.
