Oscar PIASTRIThe shift pedals are no good as well.
EngineerCopy Oscar.
Lando NORRISAlso, for the future, I prefer to start a session not with the pack full, just because I break for turn one, the pack's full and I just can't break. So the same thing I say every weekend, I don't want to be starting from the pit lane with a full pack. That counts for every single session we do.
EngineerOkay, understood.
George RUSSELLFair to bounce in on the entry of last runner.
George RUSSELLSteering feels quite light.
EngineerAnd we have early overtake press exit turn 14 followed by push and hold
Alexander ALBONAnd just check turn 2 just before I turn into turn 3. I have no power coming out of turn 2. And then just as I want to turn into turn 3, it feels like it all comes in.
EngineerWe'll go for cruise mode, it'll be cruise mode 2, you're all clear behind
Sergio PEREZI'm starting to bounce as I go into the final corner.

Audio only, no transcript
George RUSSELLWe're not in a great trap position here
Max VERSTAPPENExactly. Car is bouncing on the braking into 10, and in the last corner.
EngineerOK, understood, thank you.
EngineerAnd we just got that damp switch changed to five whenever you're ready.
Esteban OCONCopy. I think 1st to 2nd is better. 3rd maybe not, 2nd to 3rd maybe not.
EngineerAnd if you want single cool down lap again and push for the last time
Logan SARGEANTThat's just too much beaming man. I need a I need to go back on that
George RUSSELLDownshift 7th to 6th, out port
ZHOU GuanyuCopy, I can't go full gear, there's so much understeer there.
Esteban OCONYeah, no, I struggled towards the end of the lap, I lost the car in 10, and
Engineerby 12 I don't have any grip really.
EngineerWe need multi-B fuel 2. Multi-B fuel 2.
EngineerCan we use GoFundMe please?
EngineerSo we're thinking maybe double cool might get us a bit better traffic Fernando. We've got time.
Fernando ALONSOCopy.
Lando NORRISProbably seeing a bottoming into the last corner, since I'm setting the car quite a bit.
EngineerUnderstood.
EngineerSo you are a bit faster than Yuki on 7, but losing the car with the tailwind.
EngineerPeople are improving on the third lap on this tyre. Pierre currently up in sector one as well so let's see if we can get a little bit more out of it.
Sergio PEREZHow are we looking for the later sprint for the next one in terms of laps?
EngineerWe should get 7 or 8 laps at high fuel.
EngineerMax can we have a look at turn five gear four turn five gear four that we recharge off for that
Engineermulti a QR position five please Kev so that's multi a QR position five
George RUSSELLGot that turn 3 vibration again on Outlap
EngineerYeah, did I lose some bits of the car because I saw on camera now
Logan SARGEANTSorry, I made a big mistake, T9.
EngineerYeah, I saw. That's fine, go away. Focus on dropping the rears, turn that pushing within 3.
ZHOU GuanyuKeep me updated, I'm going very slow
George RUSSELLIs Red Bull High Fuel ahead?
EngineerA firm we think they are.
EngineerRussell on DRS behind you. Maintain position please Max. Thank you.
EngineerOkay, box

Carlos SAINZWe have a bit of bogus too, but I don't think I will improve if you want to box.

EngineerOpportunity, 10-12, focus on exit. Yeah, I know, I know, I know, I know.

EngineerKeep your visor closed they need to clean
Max VERSTAPPENHey, this mode is f***ing terrible. It's, uh, clipping everywhere in the beginning of the lap.
Esteban OCONA bit of understeer to start the lap 1, 3, 4.
George RUSSELLFront didn't really bite at one
Esteban OCONClouds threatening, or no?
EngineerNothing on the radar at the moment coming at us. There's weather fronts around, but nothing coming for us at the moment.
