The session, message by message

  1. Pierre GASLYAlpine15:59:340:06

    EngineerOK, PO, just 50 seconds to go, 5-0.

  2. Carlos SAINZFerrari16:01:420:08

    EngineerNew brakes here. Yeah, new brakes, confirm, all clear on the main straight.

  3. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren16:02:040:15

    Oscar PIASTRII think a box for a new helmet is visor is completely, something is completely wrong with this visor. Okay. Basically can't see.

    EngineerCopy.

  4. Sergio PEREZRed Bull16:05:440:35

    EngineerNo immediate threats behind. How's the bounce?

    Sergio PEREZLacking a bit of front end

    Engineerin

    Sergio PEREZthe high speed Turn 9 very difficult on tip-in with the wind.

    EngineerCopy. Do you want a flap adjust?

    Sergio PEREZYeah, let's go up on flap a bit.

    EngineerHow many clicks? How much flap would you like?

    Sergio PEREZYeah, let's try two clicks.

    EngineerUp two, confirm.

    Sergio PEREZHave a look on how we can stabilize 9 and 10.

  5. George RUSSELLMercedes16:06:430:08

    George RUSSELLIs that the best range?

    EngineerYeah, if I'm looking.

  6. Alexander ALBONWilliams16:07:070:09

    EngineerQuite a big split, front tenths, left and right. OK, Ricardo, three. Copy that on the splits, we're having a look.

  7. Esteban OCONAlpine16:08:150:41

    EngineerOK, we'll just do a quick compare, I'll get back to you with some driving advice shortly. P14 at the moment. Leclerc is fast, it's 14.27, very similar to yours. Clear of traffic behind. We'll see your main balance limitation please when you can.

    Esteban OCONThere's some very poor grip into turn 9 exit, turn 10 entry. Turn 3 is good, 7 as well. OK,

    Engineercopy that. There's a big tailwind 9 to 10 by all our measures, so I think that's mostly dominating. We'll see if we can advise anything with switches there.

  8. Sergio PEREZRed Bull16:08:180:08

    Sergio PEREZI'm struggling to stop the car into turn 1. Yeah, copy that.

  9. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull16:09:170:06

    EngineerHow's the tyre vibration from your end? Seems

    Max VERSTAPPENokay.

  10. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull16:10:300:06

    Max VERSTAPPENOh, I lost the mirror. Unboxing.

  11. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas16:10:430:08

    Kevin MAGNUSSENWe have to adjust the left wind mirror at some point, just a reminder.

    EngineerCopy.

  12. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren16:11:190:07

    EngineerMain opportunity turn two and turn eight minimum speed

  13. Daniel RICCIARDORB16:13:060:21

    EngineerOk Daniel, so first sector is the main limitation, it's 4 tenths We are currently P17 13.4 and UT is P5 12.6 And it was a bit too much margin on 7.8, we lost 2 tenths So that was too much of a drop

  14. Yuki TSUNODARB16:13:330:00

    Audio only, no transcript

  15. Yuki TSUNODARB16:13:340:11

    Yuki TSUNODAAre we going one more time?

    EngineerIf you want, we can do one more.

    Yuki TSUNODAOk.

    EngineerEngine 9, position 5. Engine 9, position 5.

  16. Daniel RICCIARDORB16:15:500:05

    Daniel RICCIARDOUp in the box.

    EngineerNegative, stay out, please.

  17. George RUSSELLMercedes16:16:350:06

    George RUSSELLI hope that wasn't so much thought, I just ran over there.

  18. George RUSSELLMercedes16:16:590:08

    George RUSSELLYeah, I just can't get around left-handers with this flat spot.

    EngineerYeah, understood. No worries.

  19. George RUSSELLMercedes16:17:450:12

    EngineerWe've got a red flag, red flag. Delta positive. Obviously box, box, no overtaking. It's Hülkenberg, he's gone off turn one.

  20. Nico HULKENBERGHaas16:18:490:12

    Nico HULKENBERGDon't

    Engineerknow

    Nico HULKENBERGwhat happened there.

    EngineerYeah, I don't know either Nikko. Yeah, we're having a look just

    Nico HULKENBERGa rear rear completely looked up. Yep breaking

  21. Sergio PEREZRed Bull16:23:120:05

    EngineerOkay, you've got a clear track ahead so you can do what you want for your tyres.

  22. Valtteri BOTTASKick Sauber16:25:200:08

    EngineerAnd currently P4 with just Max and Lando completing the softflap so far.

  23. Sergio PEREZRed Bull16:27:340:53

    Sergio PEREZIt was improved, better rotation I'll say, I think the anti-stability into 9-10 has been the disconnected balance, cannot get the apex,

    Engineercan't

    Sergio PEREZget the apex into 9.

    EngineerOkay so you're picking up that tailwind is really affecting balance, we can look at that. Any downsides from this setup change?

    Sergio PEREZI wouldn't say so.

    EngineerCopy and will you learn more from a second lap? We have time, we have time.

    Sergio PEREZCan we try it?

    EngineerI think we open it, so double cool, double cool, you've got Sunoda coming past, he's on outlap so he'll be coming faster than you, we're going double cool.

  24. George RUSSELLMercedes16:30:030:28

    George RUSSELLJust came down the floor after exit kerb, turn 13

    EngineerAffirm Yeah so we'll go straight on, we'll do a double cool If you're happy with that lap, we are happy to box Get on with the programme but Yeah that's fine If you need another one Yeah alright let's box and just check this floor please Yeah Affirm, we'll do that

  25. Carlos SAINZFerrari16:30:420:10

    Carlos SAINZCheck the gearbox. There's something with

    Engineerthe

    Carlos SAINZgearbox.

    EngineerCopy.

    Carlos SAINZStay in select gear.

  26. Pierre GASLYAlpine16:31:370:08

    EngineerAll right tire temps looking good to us we're happy to lean a bit on the right hand side tires

  27. Yuki TSUNODARB16:34:250:07

    Yuki TSUNODAI picked up move on the stage, high speed 27, 28.

    EngineerYeah, very clear.

  28. Esteban OCONAlpine16:35:190:17

    EngineerHow were the tires on the second lap?

    Esteban OCONThey were still okay.

    EngineerOkay copy that. Yeah. Okay mate we've got a good read and a few things we can have a look at the time sheet when we're back in.

  29. George RUSSELLMercedes16:35:320:12

    George RUSSELLJust came down the floor after exit curb, turn 13

    EngineerAffirm

  30. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas16:36:320:11

    EngineerI'll just confirm we will run the C3 on heavy fuel, so the tyres are going to stay on the car, so happy for comments when you're ready.

  31. Logan SARGEANTWilliams16:38:210:07

    EngineerHe's on high fuel, he's

    Logan SARGEANTon high fuel, he will pull away.

  32. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren16:38:580:06

    EngineerVerstappen 16.1, Lando 15.8

  33. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren16:40:000:05

    EngineerOscar, that looks quite a high level of Lyco. Maybe you don't need so much.

  34. George RUSSELLMercedes16:40:180:04

    EngineerSo we're happy with that pace currently.

  35. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes16:40:360:09

    EngineerSo for info Verstappen on the medium tyre he started at 16.5 bring them in slowly he's now down at 15.8

  36. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes16:40:460:01

    Audio only, no transcript

  37. Logan SARGEANTWilliams16:41:080:06

    Logan SARGEANTI do a plus one. Good things are going to tag up today.

  38. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull16:41:470:09

    EngineerSo Lando 15.8, 15.6, 15.5, Russell first lap, on soft 15.3.

  39. George RUSSELLMercedes16:42:260:04

    George RUSSELLA very weird slide exit of 7

  40. George RUSSELLMercedes16:42:580:10

    EngineerJust think about diff high speed for turn 7, it's fully open. It's

    George RUSSELLburied in the corner where it's sliding. Yeah, understood.

  41. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes16:43:370:06

    EngineerNorris best medium runner at the moment so 15.8 down to 15.2

  42. George RUSSELLMercedes16:44:100:11

    George RUSSELLIs the diff fully open in turn 13?

    EngineerI'll get back to you. Strat 8 and A Firm yes, diff fully open turn 13

  43. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren16:44:340:06

    EngineerOpportunity turn one, one tenth. Be careful with the amount of combined entry.

  44. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull16:44:560:04

    EngineerYeah, so now just one more lap on this Timex, one more lap.

  45. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren16:45:270:05

    EngineerCan turn 7 manage front left carcass temperature?

  46. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull16:46:120:09

    Max VERSTAPPENCan we box? There's traffic.

    EngineerWe can box, yes Max, box.

  47. George RUSSELLMercedes16:46:440:07

    George RUSSELLHas the wind picked up?

    EngineerNo, we don't see anything on the wind.

  48. George RUSSELLMercedes16:47:310:06

    George RUSSELLThe rear feels like it's buckling in 7, 8

  49. Pierre GASLYAlpine16:47:400:10

    Pierre GASLYYeah, whatever happened, turn 9-10, we're straight in the club.

    EngineerOkay, we'll take a look. We think we have another step available on high speed.

  50. Charles LECLERCFerrari16:48:330:06

    EngineerAnd careful with front micro locks phase three into turn one.

  51. Esteban OCONAlpine16:49:060:08

    EngineerOk mate, how's the balance?

    Esteban OCONIt's starting to take off a little bit now

  52. George RUSSELLMercedes16:50:310:12

    George RUSSELLMarker for sliding rear.

    EngineerJudge, let me know if you think flap adjust will help.

    George RUSSELLNegative.

    EngineerUnderstood.

  53. Daniel RICCIARDORB16:51:070:08

    EngineerStrat 10 when you can and let's be proactive with switches, consider push toggle turn 1 and where you need it for stability.

  54. Charles LECLERCFerrari16:52:030:07

    EngineerDiff mid minus one and we would like to keep running until the end of the session if it's okay for you

  55. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren16:52:530:15

    EngineerValska, check mic position and confirm flap adjust. I heard up one.

    Oscar PIASTRICopy, up one.

    EngineerOK, we're boxed this lap. Boxed this lap.

    Oscar PIASTRICopy, box.

  56. George RUSSELLMercedes16:53:310:09

    EngineerSonoda 3 seconds on a lap. Let

    George RUSSELLme just take a cool down lap and see if it resets things and...

  57. Sergio PEREZRed Bull16:55:250:09

    EngineerBalance feedback when you can.

    Sergio PEREZVery generally unstable 9 and 10.

  58. George RUSSELLMercedes16:56:020:12

    George RUSSELLThird and the start's on the medium, if that's okay?

    EngineerNegative, we cannot use that tyre. So box, box, stop on your marks and switch off.

  59. Pierre GASLYAlpine16:56:500:09

    EngineerPrepare for the next can we get SOC 13 for the next lap SOC 13 and we'll get back to you on slips

  60. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas16:57:170:09

    EngineerOK, Kev, we'd like to push hard the next three time-lapses just to see how the tyres go. OK, copy.

  61. Lando NORRISMcLaren16:57:510:05

    EngineerAnd Leno's suggestion, the right-hand panel will help turn 10.

  62. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes16:58:460:06

    EngineerAnd it'll be out lap critical, we may get one time but it's very close.

  63. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren16:59:340:04

    EngineerAnd this will be the last lap, last lap.

  64. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren17:01:080:08

    EngineerOkay, that's the checkered flag. We need a full cooldown lap for the launch and keep the car speed up for full cooling.

  65. Pierre GASLYAlpine17:01:430:11

    EngineerOkay Pierre, so no need for an aero cruise. If we could reset the cooker knob. We do need to sync first gear. If we could try to sync first gear before the start.

  66. Esteban OCONAlpine17:03:060:45

    Esteban OCONWas the thief behaving normally into turn 1 or not?

    EngineerI think so, yeah, just looking at it, no concerns. We'll have a look through in the office though. I think there's a few things we can look at. He

    Esteban OCONthinks the car was turning in many times, you know, it was on and off turning.

    EngineerOkay, understood. We'll have a close look at that back in the office. It's difficult to advise on times around here as well, sorry, there's a bit of a mixed bag in terms of people saving and obviously with traffic, so... There's a consistent run until Norris came past obviously. So we can, yeah, look at it all in a bit more detail later. So three burnouts please, start on the right and then pushing to pit entry.

  67. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes17:04:270:12

    EngineerClutch was deep at 2% This time we're going to stop at the FAA bridge just away the car

    Lewis HAMILTONUnderstood
