Engineer: Recharge on. Sync is good.
Yuki TSUNODA: The next soft run, let's remind ourselves to follow the data for our lab.
Engineer: Okay, that strat 9 could help return 13, so we'll have a look at that.
Engineer: Okay, good to hear. Sensors look good to us, so let's do...
Pierre GASLY: There's the front tires. Too much understeer, especially turn four.
Kevin MAGNUSSEN: Well, this lap, it's a very big snap both in the first lap and this lap in turn three. Yeah.
Engineer: Let's check what's going on. It's behind. Joe, three seconds behind.
Engineer: So, currently P6, you are level to Alonso, who's P1 at the moment until that last corner. And Valtteri at 4 seconds.
Sergio PEREZ: Yeah, we try the two clicks.
Engineer: Up two clicks, copy.
Engineer: So Oscar, feedback, final sector was quicker than in P1, just looked like the tyre prep on the outlap was compromised.
Sergio PEREZ: The visibility is very poor. Let's get a dark tear off, please.
Engineer: Yeah, I'll stay on it.
Esteban OCON: I had to read the plan quite a lot in the straight line there.
Engineer: Copy that. Russell, three seconds time blab.
Engineer: and purple c7 position one is good with boxes lap and radio check oscar
Engineer: And do you want another go? Yeah. Okay.
Logan SARGEANT: Alright, touch the gravel. Alright, touch the gravel.
Engineer: Yeah, okay, we'll check the car.
Esteban OCON: Okay, so still have some understeer down the floor and the bouncing has to come at high speed
Yuki TSUNODA: I don't know,
Engineer: I
Yuki TSUNODA: feel like this dumper is slightly worse, or I feel more bouncing.
Engineer: I'm happy to put more temperatures on this. More temperature.
Engineer: So happy to do good speed through the final sector. Tires are getting there, but it's still two degrees cool.
Engineer: High as a minus six, so we can keep leaning on them. Weaving out of 10, down to 11 and good braking. Fernando's still 17 behind.
Lance STROLL: Yeah, I messed up the last corner. Yeah, no drama, mate.
Engineer: If you would like a flap adjust, double call for the tyres is okay.
George RUSSELL: That Ferrari was going dangerously slow on the straight, sacks, blind corner.
Audio only, no transcript available for this message.
Engineer: How was the red button turn 13?
Sergio PEREZ: Yeah, that was good. That was an improvement.
Daniel RICCIARDO: It didn't feel any better from what we were trying to achieve on balance.
Daniel RICCIARDO: Yeah, I just want to start with a bit more temperature copy
Engineer: so what will help what we see is overheating through the corner in turn three
Nico HULKENBERG: Sorry, that was a bit annoying there, breaking into M3. That wasn't ideal.
Sergio PEREZ: How far are we at?
Engineer: That's two and a half tenths off the Aston's. Tenth and a half off the clerk.
Engineer: Where's Snappen behind?
ZHOU Guanyu: Yeah, I'm too late bro.
Engineer: I
ZHOU Guanyu: missed my back tree quite early before the line
Max VERSTAPPEN: Come on, man.
Audio only, no transcript available for this message.
Yuki TSUNODA: Ah, f***ed up.
Max VERSTAPPEN: This left front tires are too much on this year in the last sector. The rest of the cars are quite nice.
Engineer: And for last corner, try to be back across the wide line.
Charles LECLERC: That doesn't make sense, what you're saying. I mean, I don't understand what you're saying.
Engineer: You need to be further to the left, further to the left on entry.
Charles LECLERC: Okay.
Engineer: Blue mode 7. Blue mode 7.
Daniel RICCIARDO: Yeah, do you want me to make a gap to the stakes? Yeah, let's
Engineer: do
Daniel RICCIARDO: that. Yeah.
Max VERSTAPPEN: Yeah, it's a bit unnecessary, I think.
Engineer: it will use a level tech is it on 14 as well to pass him
Engineer: I was going to consider a sharper lift for turn five to help the front left. We're quite quick through there compared to others.
Pierre GASLY: I need more support mid-corner at 10-1.
Engineer: 25k wind into turn one with the following. We need to manage the rear locking on the initial hit on brakes.
Engineer: Just try to manage more in 10. That was a bit too much less left.
Charles LECLERC: 5 cars on a race run?
Engineer: Yes, so we have 5 cars on a race run behind you pushing
Daniel RICCIARDO: Yeah, I could tell a little bit of drag on the front, but nothing too crazy at the moment.
George RUSSELL: How many laps are we gonna get? How many laps are we gonna get?

George RUSSELL: You're right.
Engineer: It's a pace to Paris ahead looks good if you do want to make a gap there's six seconds behind but happy if you're learning to stay here
Engineer: Yuki, now you can push on tires. No more saving.
Engineer: And avoid the short shift between 13 and 14.
Lewis HAMILTON: What's
Engineer: that,
Lewis HAMILTON: how's
Engineer: the
Lewis HAMILTON: people doing?
Engineer: Leclerc was 22.8 last lap, medium time.
Lewis HAMILTON: Yeah, something's wrong.
Engineer: And a minor, white h7, position 1. It is white h7, position 1.
Engineer: Launch path, launch path.
Engineer: So the soft fire's on, back out, push the exit, push the exit.
Engineer: Mode attack, mode attack.
Carlos SAINZ: Yeah, get out of the way.
Charles LECLERC: Do we need to box and try the other tire or is it just the end of the session?
Engineer: It is too late, 1 minute 20 left
Audio only, no transcript available for this message.
Engineer: Okay, Joe. Okay. Okay, Joe. If the...
Engineer: at five
Audio only, no transcript available for this message.
Engineer: This will be the final lap here
Engineer: so it'll be a waste of a lap the gap if you need to otherwise it'll be a waste of a lap and engine 13 position four
Engineer: launch white and that's the checkered flag bang out for the grid launch white h13 white h13
Max VERSTAPPEN: What is he doing? Look at this! My god!
Engineer: And that's the checkered flag paying out for the grid launch. White H13. White H13.
George RUSSELL: Not too sure what we're
Engineer: going
George RUSSELL: to learn this time. Have a think.
Max VERSTAPPEN: That car ahead of the Mercedes, I think he's having a f***ing coffee.
Engineer: I think he definitely should stay off the coffee.
