2. Daniel RICCIARDOAlphaTauri18:30:05

   Engineer: And we can push in the hot lap on tires, which will be temperature limited on these compounds. Plus 5 on the dash if we can get there.

3. Pierre GASLYAlpine18:30:55

   Engineer: We've got most people on the hard tyre at the moment, a few out there on mediums, so Haas on mediums, Ricciardo on mediums

4. Lance STROLLAston Martin18:31:36

   Engineer: The car's good, it's just going to be working on your tyres. They're on the low side at the moment, so default at the moment is to do our two push laps.

5. Esteban OCONAlpine18:40:01

   Engineer: So it's about half and half on the tyres out there between the medium and the hard tyre.

6. Carlos SAINZFerrari18:40:27

   Carlos SAINZ: Oh my god, I think he didn't see me, but I request.

7. Pierre GASLYAlpine18:43:51

   Pierre GASLY: I'm liking a lot of grip in the low speed, turn one big like off rear, and ride through high speed

   Engineer: Yeah, copy that

8. Nico HULKENBERGHaas18:44:28

   Engineer: Okay Nico, we're actually going to box at the end of this lap so we can make a bigger change on the car.

9. Lance STROLLAston Martin18:45:20

   Engineer: No need to box, we have an issue front left corner, so you need to cool the brakes in a straight line. Okay, very gentle into the box, do not use the brakes until you have to to stop the car outside the garage.

10. Charles LECLERCFerrari18:48:04

    Engineer: Turn one and the braking slightly later braking we need

11. Daniel RICCIARDOAlphaTauri18:49:33

    Daniel RICCIARDO: Okay, so I think you definitely feel a bit more front limited. Only time I'm really finding the rear is with ride.

    Engineer: And then that upsets the rear grip. Sergeant, four behind pushing. That's it. Okay, Sergeant, coming now. On which corner in particular, please? Box, box.

12. Carlos SAINZFerrari18:49:37

    Carlos SAINZ: Yeah, the car is jumping around a lot on the straights, it's for your info

    Engineer: Understood

13. Charles LECLERCFerrari18:50:40

    Engineer: And as a reference P1 is Hamilton with heart 37.4

14. Charles LECLERCFerrari18:52:20

    Charles LECLERC: Ryan, start to work on the brake shape, only for turn 11. Very strange corner there. Let me know if you need any help with what's happening, but it should be clear.

15. Logan SARGEANTWilliams18:53:32

    Audio only, no transcript available for this message.

16. Charles LECLERCFerrari18:53:33

    Charles LECLERC: Ryan, start to work on the break shape.

17. Logan SARGEANTWilliams18:53:47

    Logan SARGEANT: I need help turn 11.

    Engineer: A lot of

    Logan SARGEANT: overrotation on the Apex and Exit.

    Engineer: Copy, we'll have a look.

18. ZHOU GuanyuAlfa Romeo18:55:08

    ZHOU Guanyu: There's absolutely no equipment, thanks.

    Engineer: Copy that.

19. George RUSSELLMercedes18:57:22

    Engineer: Yeah, George will just get into that tyre management and lift the coast. I'm just going to drive it as I see fit to start with, alright? There you go.

20. Sergio PEREZRed Bull18:58:49

    Engineer: We're seeing be about four just confirm that's intended recommendation was be about three

21. Pierre GASLYAlpine19:01:31

    Pierre GASLY: Is it learned or not because it doesn't show on the dash?

22. George RUSSELLMercedes19:02:07

    Engineer: So we think that mid to high 40s is a good lap time.

23. Sergio PEREZRed Bull19:02:34

    Engineer: This pace is good. Balance update.

    Sergio PEREZ: Mainly struggling with those diffractions.

24. Esteban OCONAlpine19:03:53

    Esteban OCON: Yeah, it's too real with the yellow.

    Engineer: Yeah, copy that. Yeah, we're just discussing if there's anything else we can do for 12.

25. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas19:05:39

    Engineer: We don't have time to do a decent run of sustainable laps now because the changeover took too long.

26. Sergio PEREZRed Bull19:07:13

    Sergio PEREZ: The front is pretty dead into the low speed, I cannot stop it.

27. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin19:10:09

    Engineer: Suggest trying left toggle on for the next lap, left toggle on for the whole lap. No radio, radio is not working, repeat again. Yeah, left toggle on for the next lap, left toggle on for the next lap, test item. Copy.

28. Daniel RICCIARDOAlphaTauri19:11:18

    Daniel RICCIARDO: Yeah, what was more evident then was Ride. Ride was quite bad, just down the straights and everything.

    Engineer: Copy that. In terms of balance, you think we went too far with the bar change? Box, box.

    Daniel RICCIARDO: Yeah, yeah it seems so, yep. Agreed. Okay, box confirmed.

29. Sergio PEREZRed Bull19:13:53

    Sergio PEREZ: main thing it's a front very light into the low speed and a bit of understeer into the into the high speed but the front is dead into into low speed breakings and i don't want to go on the mech battle yeah let's find another way to to out from them because we have healthy traction

    Engineer: okay well box rear practice pit stop and switch off

30. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren19:15:27

    Engineer: and oscar will be box this lap tests are breaking offline into turn one

31. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin19:16:54

    Engineer: Can I just do a radio check here? It should be better. Radio check. Sergeant Thor behind. Yeah, yeah. Better. OK, good.

32. Alexander ALBONWilliams19:18:54

    Alexander ALBON: Peak tyre grip was around 10.6

    Engineer: OK, copy, peak tyre around 10.6 So this will be a double call, target zero on the dash and happy to drop both axles

33. Lando NORRISMcLaren19:21:03

    Engineer: Orlando just experiment with lines through turn 13 to turn 16

34. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull19:22:00

    Engineer: maybe a slight shift in wind direction as well Max perhaps more of a tailwind coming out of one although it is shifting around slightly just keep your eyes on the flags still quite light around the lap

35. Valtteri BOTTASAlfa Romeo19:22:59

    Engineer: Suggest BMIC 2 and diff entry 1 step up for turn 1 only.

36. Charles LECLERCFerrari19:23:41

    Charles LECLERC: What is Varus trying to do?

    Engineer: He's on an outlap with new soft I believe so he will push next lap

37. ZHOU GuanyuAlfa Romeo19:24:53

    Engineer: I

    ZHOU Guanyu: don't feel too much grip at the moment with the fire, but it could

    Engineer: be true.

38. Nico HULKENBERGHaas19:25:31

    Nico HULKENBERG: We're hitting the front quite hard, that's for sure. I think we need a bit more air balance here.

    Engineer: So,

    Nico HULKENBERG: we'll try another half percent.

    Engineer: Copy that Niko, so we'll box now for flap adjust.

39. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull19:25:46

    Max VERSTAPPEN: I see it gets pretty hot on the front end of it on

    Engineer: the set

40. Charles LECLERCFerrari19:27:23

    Charles LECLERC: Update me on the margin, please, throughout the cooldowns.

    Engineer: Copy. It should be slightly faster than what you were doing with the heart.

41. Carlos SAINZFerrari19:28:41

    Engineer: We need to do this lap 25 seconds faster than the previous. Check your clock. It will be 30.00 on the dot.

42. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas19:29:28

    Engineer: So first car on a time-lapse to node reads at turn five at the moment. He is 20 seconds behind You've got one minute to get to the start finish line

    Kevin MAGNUSSEN: Is that tight?

    Engineer: One minute to go. It's reasonably tight

43. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin19:31:06

    Engineer: Okay, Fernando, so the start at the beginning of the session was seven under, seven under, and we'll be doing a left-hand side and two burnouts. I'll update you later.

44. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull19:33:33

    Engineer: Okay, launch procedure max, three burnouts, three burnouts, right hand side, gear one, and the low grip position. So three burnouts, right hand side, gear one, low grip.
