Esteban OCON: Yeah, we have good
Engineer: How do you feel balance is turn 15 and 13, just with a diff?
Esteban OCON: Yeah, we have good front end there so all good
Engineer: And purple C3 position five, fifth gear. There's 16 seconds to beam and turn nine.
ZHOU Guanyu: The rest are okay, but the car fell too much on the nose, like I said. And it's turning on high-speed corner and change of direction also.
Engineer: Lando, I would turn the CSL off and just bring it back please. It's too slow for other cars that can't come past you. Turn the CSL off and just bring it back please. It's fine.
Engineer: CSL 6 6th gear please.
Engineer: So, just look for Tom and the boys.
Engineer: And Daniel, the critical corner for tyre temp will be front right tyre.
Alexander ALBON: Daniel, balance is pretty good, just a bit lazy, change of direction.
Daniel RICCIARDO: Yeah, I still feel real limited on entry.
Engineer: We need to box now. If we're happy to just do fast slow fast on the next tyre we could do one more lap on this set, I don't know if you've got a preference.
Esteban OCON: I picked up a little bit more understeer in the medium speed corners.
Engineer: Ok, understood, it's good to know.
ZHOU Guanyu: I'm jumping to one, jumping to nine.
Engineer: the exit of turn 14 240 kph that is C12 purple C12 and clear air if you can move to the side
Engineer: So report from Ed, everywhere an improvement on that lap, Ollie, apart from turn 7.
Engineer: Launch map on. Launch map on. Conservative drop from the pit stop.
Engineer: Fernando, on this next time lap, can you close the DRS before turn 15, about 20 metres before you start braking?
Engineer: Please could we have a CSL6 after turn 5? Votash still 5 seconds behind, time up.
Engineer: And you can use special two in turn three, four, if it helps.
Max VERSTAPPEN: To start the lap, I pressed Richard to release us very slow, somehow, from the battery.
Engineer: Copy that, thank you.
Fernando ALONSO: Gears are learned.
Engineer: Yeah, already they're okay. Gears are okay.
Engineer: And then beat Alonso behind on an outlap.

Fernando ALONSO: How is he in front of Ocon?
Engineer: So it's Albon ahead of Ocon, both out lap. Dewan still seven seconds behind.
Engineer: She can break around the low side. Ok, 3 cars coming behind an outlap, make sure you steer it. And we need a good braking in the left, she can break around the low side. Charge up last corner.
