Pierre GASLYThere's quite a bit of dead band

EngineerOkay, Pierre, we can see what you're talking about. We do believe it's safe to run.

EngineerUK suggest we box too much traffic otherwise box for traffic will come behind Albon 5

EngineerLet me know if you'd like to come through the pit lane for a flap adjust.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, I think three clicks

Sergio PEREZThe low speed in general was on the understeering side, sorry, oversteering, so it's quite neutral. Apex exit, really. I'm using quite a bit of the rear to get through there.

Esteban OCONA little bit of rear locking, turn 1.

Alexander ALBONMy main limitation is this falling understeering. 7, 10, 12. It was better on

Engineerthe

Alexander ALBONsecond fish for some reason.

Alexander ALBONIt felt like the fronts on the second push held on, started with a little bit less grip but finished with more grip.

George RUSSELLThe seven still watching now with understeer

EngineerRicciardo at four seconds,

Lewis HAMILTONthere's

Engineera

Lewis HAMILTONlot of time now,

EngineerRicciardo car behind, George found a reasonable amount

EngineerTime in the carriage on look at data on things our people practice. Yes, happy

Daniel RICCIARDOto talk

EngineerDo you think the tires are still good to open another one? Alonso 2 and

Logan SARGEANT1. Yeah, I think we can get one more out of them.

EngineerAnd Perez 5. Ok, we'll open another one and that will be a push about.

EngineerOK, so we are going to box this lap Esteban, if we can have aero P3 after turn 4 please, aero P3 after turn 4.

EngineerOk Pierre, so the back right modifier is useful in those places, the back right will give you more front.

Pierre GASLYBack right is not going to change, John 7.

Sergio PEREZYeah, there's a lot of grounding for Norris into a ruse copy

EngineerImagine complete the lap

EngineerSo the track should be clear at turn 18, Max will be able to wake the tyres and attack 18 as you wish.

EngineerFeel a bit alone out there?

Carlos SAINZYeah, lonely.

EngineerI

Oscar PIASTRIjust need to check the floor, turn into a skateboarder at turn 7.

EngineerCopy.

George RUSSELLStill bouncing a lot through 10-11

EngineerOk Daniel, sorry about the traffic. Plenty of cars aborted their lap. Magnussen pushing 3.5.

Alexander ALBONGot anti-stall in the last corner or something. I don't know what it was.

EngineerYeah, looks like it's a rear lock I think.

EngineerAnd the other suggestion is to maybe try and back off the entry to 14 a little bit to get a better apex and exit.

George RUSSELLHopefully we've

Engineergot

George RUSSELLmore jack in now in this session versus P1.

Charles LECLERC10-14, there was quite a lot of dirt on the outside

Fernando ALONSOYeah, I mean, I would like to have break time, but I cannot do tires and brakes at the same time.

EngineerStefano, would you like to drive one more, or are you keen to get onto high fuel? Oh, it's okay. The same for me.

EngineerLive pit stop we go to the soft

Daniel RICCIARDOMode 6 Mode

Engineer9, Max in turn 1

EngineerWe are going to change it now, offset 2.

George RUSSELLBut the rate into one is far too big

EngineerWe've got the rest of the front runners in the 49s, so mid to high 49s.

George RUSSELLYeah roger that mate, I did that in FP1, trying something different.

EngineerCopy, we'll take a look. The

Pierre GASLYfront is not working and turnpokes out in.

Engineerfail 10 fail fail 1-0 fail

EngineerBrake 1. Brake 1, yeah, on the switch. Brake 1.

Daniel RICCIARDOIt's just like the car feels wobbly, like I've got a broken robot or something

Alexander ALBONLet's go, let's go.

Daniel RICCIARDOSomething feels strange.

EngineerGive us more information please, where?

Daniel RICCIARDOJust like the car feels wobbly, like I've got a broken roll bar or something. Copy, slow in,

Engineerwe're checking.

EngineerAnd Lando, no rain expected. There's three more time-lapse. We'd like a little lift through Eau Rouge, please. Just a little one. Less than P1.

Charles LECLERCAh, front completely gone.

EngineerOkay, I propose we box to the other set and then we get a bit of free clean air. Okay, copy, box.

EngineerWe can see the problem. We can see the problem.

Lewis HAMILTONYeah, I got a big deck.

Carlos SAINZI'm happy to box for a soft.

EngineerUnderstood.

Yuki TSUNODABlue flag is annoying, why the **** are you

Engineergoing

Yuki TSUNODAto sleep?

Yuki TSUNODAThe last lap is unrepresentative by the way, yeah, previous two or three laps, a bit of mistakes with the traffic.

EngineerUnderstood.
