   Fernando ALONSO: Yeah, turn 5 ok, wind maybe a little bit different direction on the flags

3. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin04:34:55

   Engineer: Use DRS again. The worst tailwind is exit of 7, about 15 kph, exit of 7 into 8.

4. Pierre GASLYAlpine04:39:24

   Engineer: Okay, recharge on. Recharge on and we'll box this lap.

5. Pierre GASLYAlpine04:39:29

   Engineer: Let's get an aero cruise out of turn 5 that'll be aero P5 you've got no traffic behind

6. Jack DOOHANAlpine04:40:24

   Engineer: Okay mate, so we're going to do a couple of aero cruisers on the way in, like aero P5, after turn 5 please, aero P5.

7. Pierre GASLYAlpine04:41:02

   Engineer: Still early in the session, mate, so let's come on in and have a chat.

8. Lance STROLLAston Martin04:45:27

   Lance STROLL: Had some smoke from the front left disc in turn six.

9. ZHOU GuanyuKick Sauber04:46:32

   ZHOU Guanyu: Looks okay on the data for you, the brakes? All good, all good.

10. Valtteri BOTTASKick Sauber04:46:49

    Engineer: and work on your tire temps.

11. George RUSSELLMercedes04:48:52

    George RUSSELL: Can we just check the padding on the left hand side the tape is just starting to roll over itself

12. ZHOU GuanyuKick Sauber04:49:31

    ZHOU Guanyu: How is the break on the day 2? For me it's feeling better but I might need a bit more lap from the...

13. Carlos SAINZFerrari04:50:46

    Carlos SAINZ: Yeah, turn on ratings.

    Engineer: Copy.

14. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin04:52:18

    Engineer: Let me go to strat five, strat five.

15. Pierre GASLYAlpine04:52:38

    Engineer: We'll repeat the aero cruises, so aero P5 out of turn 5.

16. Pierre GASLYAlpine04:53:42

    Pierre GASLY: I start to have a bit more snubs than the Speciavilla sector of that last lap.

17. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull04:54:53

    Max VERSTAPPEN: What can I do for 5? Felt like they might make their late entry.

18. Alexander ALBONWilliams04:55:45

    Alexander ALBON: Massive raid, like, really early in the lab.

19. Liam LAWSONRB04:56:05

    Engineer: And we have a heavy wind in turn 5, so you can use push to go if you need.

20. Sergio PEREZRed Bull04:56:55

    Sergio PEREZ: I was sitting, lacking some great support there. I'm thinking just to move the bias forward there.

21. Yuki TSUNODARB04:57:59

    Yuki TSUNODA: Yeah, I feel like the tyre gave up quite quickly towards the end.

22. Yuki TSUNODARB04:58:14

    Yuki TSUNODA: Especially after Turn 7, I had quite a muscle snap. I don't know why.

23. Carlos SAINZFerrari04:59:00

    Engineer: Turn 7, perhaps too much apex curve.

24. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes05:00:17

    Lewis HAMILTON: How far off Norris?

    Engineer: So it's just over a tenth to turn Norris. It's mainly 13-14. Yeah. The rest of the corners look reasonably strong. Traffic in turn 9 as well.

25. Sergio PEREZRed Bull05:00:53

    Engineer: So, any benefits from the FlapAdjust?

    Sergio PEREZ: No. The tyre, I think, it's gone.

26. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull05:02:35

    Max VERSTAPPEN: I don't know

    Engineer: if

    Max VERSTAPPEN: there's one that feels weird, it's 13, like on entry I'll be severe, yeah I see, and then with corner, front right, gives up a bit.

27. Liam LAWSONRB05:03:25

    Liam LAWSON: Ok, I went off at 10-6

28. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes05:08:56

    Engineer: Is that just too fast in? Yeah, copy. That's too fast in, turn 9.

29. Alexander ALBONWilliams05:12:49

    Engineer: Okay, go switch to go in, just watch the clerk, three seconds back.

30. Pierre GASLYAlpine05:15:13

    Pierre GASLY: My temperatures are different.

    Engineer: Yep, so we're happy with temperatures. We want to target zero on the dash.

31. Pierre GASLYAlpine05:16:10

    Pierre GASLY: There he is!

32. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes05:18:34

    Engineer: Norris behind there, pushing the braking too much in turn 5, braking, so Norris with you now.

33. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes05:18:59

    Engineer: Is that a joke?

34. Pierre GASLYAlpine05:19:21

    Engineer: I just don't understand why they did the change. 3 seconds to resample.

35. George RUSSELLMercedes05:19:51

    George RUSSELL: Yeah, it is a bit hot by that point

36. Jack DOOHANAlpine05:20:14

    Engineer: Absolutely spot on the marks there.

37. Jack DOOHANAlpine05:20:36

    Engineer: So got to say Jack that looked like a pretty decent lap to me I gave away a bit of time on the exit of 7

38. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull05:21:59

    Max VERSTAPPEN: And silence.

    Engineer: Four seconds max. I

    Max VERSTAPPEN: like the big stops. I'm right in the rear because I just feel like there's an efficiency in the front. Braking.

    Engineer: Yeah, understood.

39. Carlos SAINZFerrari05:23:06

    Carlos SAINZ: Yeah, mistake, turn 9,

    Engineer: we're still good. Yeah, you were quicker on the medium, yeah.

40. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes05:23:46

    Lewis HAMILTON: Still

    Engineer: a small loss, a late entry, minimum speed, but it's just under a tenth.

41. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes05:25:37

    Lewis HAMILTON: No, is it just too late on the brakes anywhere?

42. George RUSSELLMercedes05:26:18

    George RUSSELL: Mark, is there some aero bouncing?

43. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes05:26:47

    Engineer: We've got three cars, Alonso, Suno, Sainz and no pressure behind.

44. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas05:27:53

    Engineer: Two minutes to go.

45. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas05:27:58

    Kevin MAGNUSSEN: Any chance I can go slow enough to take the flag it's

    Engineer: two minutes 20 a bit very slow

46. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin05:29:01

    Fernando ALONSO: I was doing the yellow button 267.

    Engineer: I think you did miss it on the last push

47. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren05:30:26

    Engineer: So Oscar, at turn nine, we'll go recharge off and that will allow you to check the new deployment. That will allow you to check the new deployment.

48. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes05:31:39

    Engineer: Did

    Lewis HAMILTON: many people improve their second lap?

    Engineer: Not many by the look of it, I'll just need to run through it quickly. It looks like most people were hitting it on lap one. Perez, he got a second lap out of it.

49. Yuki TSUNODARB05:34:58

    Yuki TSUNODA: That was a pretty shocking start, I would say. I had also quite a lot

    Engineer: of

    Yuki TSUNODA: big shocking when I shifted up to second to third, I guess. Or first to second, like gear was not synced.

    Engineer: Yeah, Yuki, we see that downgraded upshift. We know what it is.

50. Yuki TSUNODARB05:35:23

51. George RUSSELLMercedes05:35:25

    George RUSSELL: What happened there? Was that uber shallow?

52. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin14:35:20

    Fernando ALONSO: I think it's going to be a good day. A good feeling.

    Engineer: Good.

53. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:49:30

    Lewis HAMILTON: Need to remove this sticker on my... inside my cockpit, please.

    Engineer: Okay, copy.

54. Pierre GASLYAlpine14:51:05

    Pierre GASLY: Yeah, it's quite a lot of pulling on the brakes.

    Engineer: Okay, copy that.

55. George RUSSELLMercedes14:57:30

    George RUSSELL: Yeah, not sure what's going on car feels feels okay just very slow

56. George RUSSELLMercedes15:00:45

    George RUSSELL: Yeah, let me know what you're thinking. Right now, I don't really have any major thoughts. I don't really know why the pace is so bad.

    Engineer: What was the main balance limitation on that, then?

    George RUSSELL: Well, nothing major, mate. It's, yeah, I mean, everything feels reasonably normal. It's just all slow.

57. Alexander ALBONWilliams15:14:34

    Alexander ALBON: The balance shifted like crazy

58. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull15:20:54

    Max VERSTAPPEN: My brakes are not working and the front axle isn't biting, it's like they are glazed or something

    Engineer: Ok, copy that

    Engineer: Yes, DP-1, 23-4.
