  1. Sergio PEREZRed Bull13:29:140:09

    Sergio PEREZWhat sort of gap we need to look ahead?

  2. George RUSSELLMercedes13:30:400:03

    George RUSSELLAnything on wind direction?

  3. George RUSSELLMercedes13:30:440:07

  4. Pierre GASLYAlpine13:31:580:07

    Pierre GASLYThe temperature is okay, it looks really really low on the dash

  5. Pierre GASLYAlpine13:32:050:08

    EngineerCan

    Pierre GASLYyou just tell me if it's...

    Engineerwhat to do here? Yeah, so tyre temps are looking okay, we'll look into that dash issue.

  6. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas13:32:450:07

  7. Pierre GASLYAlpine13:33:050:08

    EngineerOkay, just make sure you recharge off

  8. Lando NORRISMcLaren13:33:380:15

    EngineerAnd radio check in 10-12, there's a big queue ahead of you, like 6 cars yet to open a lap. Yeah, I need that information a little bit earlier next time. Okay, I will do.

    Lando NORRISOkay.

  9. George RUSSELLMercedes13:34:300:13

    EngineerTargeting the minus 18

    George RUSSELLVery oversteery, you can just check the diff entry, diff mid and that it's in line with the expectations

  10. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas13:35:190:17

    EngineerHow are the brakes still Kev, are they still poor?

    Kevin MAGNUSSENTerrible, yeah really bad. Copy

    Engineerthat.

    Kevin MAGNUSSENJust no bite and a pretty big difference between left and right front.

    EngineerCopy.

  11. Lando NORRISMcLaren13:36:300:08

    EngineerSuggestion, right hand toggle, turn 12 to 14.

  12. George RUSSELLMercedes13:37:220:06

    EngineerAnd just be mindful of those surface temps in sector three opening the lap

  13. Yuki TSUNODARB13:37:420:05

    Yuki TSUNODAI also had a bit of instability in the chicane as well.

  14. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas13:37:480:12

    EngineerHow are the brakes still, Kev? Are they still poor?

    Kevin MAGNUSSENTerrible, yeah, really bad.

    EngineerCopy that. The

    Kevin MAGNUSSENseat's nice, though.

    EngineerOK, that's good.

  15. Pierre GASLYAlpine13:38:200:06

    Pierre GASLYThere's some understeer in turn two, and some traction issue.

  16. ZHOU GuanyuKick Sauber13:40:360:09

    ZHOU GuanyuI've got those things coming up on my sideboard, some of

    Engineerthe

    ZHOU Guanyuothers came up on the left.

  17. Alexander ALBONWilliams13:41:380:07

    EngineerOkay so box, Alex box, I'll just take it steady in the pit lane just to try to help track position at pit exit.

  18. Yuki TSUNODARB13:42:020:15

    Yuki TSUNODAI guess I had a bit of a slap in turn 11, it was quite an episode. Yeah,

    Engineercorrect.

  19. Daniel RICCIARDORB13:42:180:24

    EngineerStop in front of the garage Box, box, box, box Stop in front of the garage

    Daniel RICCIARDOUnderstood

    EngineerI

    Daniel RICCIARDOthink shape 4 is default Unless Patrick you feel otherwise

    EngineerHe's happy, box, box

  20. Daniel RICCIARDORB13:42:420:06

    Daniel RICCIARDOI think shape 4 is default, unless Patrick you feel otherwise.

  21. Daniel RICCIARDORB13:42:480:01

    Audio only, no transcript

  22. Yuki TSUNODARB13:42:490:08

    Yuki TSUNODAI guess I had a bit of a slap in turn 12, sorry, in turn 11, it was quite deep as well.

    EngineerYeah, correct.

  23. Yuki TSUNODARB13:43:330:14

    EngineerSame gear, 5th gear for both.

    Yuki TSUNODAWhat gear they're using? 5th gear or 6th gear?

  24. Esteban OCONAlpine13:45:240:33

    Esteban OCONYeah, the car kind of turned itself on braking, so high-speed braking turn 1, turn 2, turn 11, and then I got my corner on the steer later on, so not the best.

    EngineerOkay, understood. We'll have a look at that. I feel that rotation is kind of end of brake or at peak. Yeah, it's from peak, from high speed. Yeah, okay, understood. Okay, we've got Albon pushing behind 4 seconds. Just need to let him through.

  25. Pierre GASLYAlpine13:49:050:08

    EngineerOkay, let's watch out. Yeah, Joe's car behind. Someone boxes that.

  26. Pierre GASLYAlpine13:49:130:10

    Pierre GASLYYeah, that was pretty strange. Big snipe entry, 11.

    EngineerWe'll have a look at that.

  27. George RUSSELLMercedes13:50:330:09

    George RUSSELLYuki wasn't looking in his mirrors.

  28. Daniel RICCIARDORB13:50:440:09

    Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, problem is, especially 5 and 12, the reel. If I break hard there, I lose the reel.

  29. Sergio PEREZRed Bull13:52:100:07

    EngineerSo you know the targets, it's not really helping to achieve them, but make sure the target's ready.

  30. Lance STROLLAston Martin13:53:330:07

    Lance STROLLThat car is quite shocking to drive right now.

  31. Charles LECLERCFerrari13:55:030:05

    EngineerWe can think about closing the tools for the last two corners from our side.

  32. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren13:58:220:09

    EngineerOscar, it looks like we have quite a lot of front ride height available, but my plan is to leave that alone and prioritise time on track.

  33. Sergio PEREZRed Bull14:01:500:07

    EngineerI think

    Sergio PEREZthe tire, I could never get it cool.

  34. Yuki TSUNODARB14:03:420:09

    EngineerWe're all in sync, so we can focus on the outlap, target 0-0. Let's work the brakes in turn 12.

  35. Yuki TSUNODARB14:06:510:34

    EngineerAlonso 5, Yukira, how was the balance?

    Yuki TSUNODAI think towards the end of the lap, the balance started to get balanced, but for sure, turn 1-2 is quite a lot understeer. But actually turn 5 onwards, it started to get neutral, so

    EngineerI

    Yuki TSUNODAthink definitely we need a bit of compromise for this tyre.

    EngineerGood, copy. First car pushing, Alonso 10 seconds. Okay, that's good. We'll go for a double cooldown and we'll go through the pit lane to cool down even more. Alonso 5.

  36. Daniel RICCIARDORB14:07:250:11

    EngineerIt's a very quick turnaround. No one pushing behind. Box, box. It's a very quick turnaround. Look at some data and go again. People will start their long runs soon. No one pushing behind. Box, box. It's a very quick turnaround.

  37. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas14:07:360:08

    EngineerOkay Kev, so once they've adjusted the front wing, please do a mode RS start from box.

  38. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren14:07:440:12

    Oscar PIASTRIall twisted it's so the seam is like oh i guess you want to do a launch but this left glove i have like the middle finger is like all twisted it's okay

  39. Alexander ALBONWilliams14:07:560:09

    Engineerjust came past us, so we just need to open the gap to them, pit exit, so remember target six. Okay, so all cars

  40. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin14:08:040:21

    Engineerto help the other car. Fernando what would you say on car balance for that lap to help the other car?

    Fernando ALONSOYeah good luck.

    EngineerFernando what would you say?

  41. Sergio PEREZRed Bull14:08:250:02

    Engineertoggle turn one two push toggle

  42. Alexander ALBONWilliams14:08:270:07

    Engineerlap and then that's Bottas just ahead of you on a slow lap and ahead of him there's 10 seconds to Logan and no one pushing

  43. Daniel RICCIARDORB14:08:350:19

    EngineerIn terms of balance, does turn one and turn two feel understeered for you or is a good balance for these good corners?

    Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, turn one definitely. That was definitely the most front limited I've had there.

  44. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin14:08:530:10

    EngineerYeah, it's difficult Fernando this track.

    Fernando ALONSOI don't know. I mean we overtook 11

    Engineercars. We can try another lap.

  45. Pierre GASLYAlpine14:09:030:03

    EngineerThree seconds to pass one point

  46. George RUSSELLMercedes14:09:060:06

    EngineerI

    George RUSSELLdidn't feel anything.

    EngineerCan we try again? We saw it working. It's all good.

  47. Yuki TSUNODARB14:09:120:05

    Engineeris eight seconds and we have always

  48. Oliver BEARMANHaas14:09:170:07

    Engineerdiff 33 okay so we just need to generate some break so we recommend yeah shape four lines there is on his

  49. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin14:09:220:12

    EngineerFernando, what would you say on car balance for that lap, just to help the other car?

    Fernando ALONSOUm... Yeah, good luck.

  50. Logan SARGEANTWilliams14:09:240:11

    EngineerThere's nobody had okay very

  51. Yuki TSUNODARB14:09:350:05

    EngineerWe have six guys

  52. Charles LECLERCFerrari14:09:400:05

    EngineerOne tenth and a half in turn one, one tenth and fourteen.

  53. Valtteri BOTTASKick Sauber14:09:440:05

    EngineerWhen you're ready, clear from behind, you can build your gap.

  54. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas14:09:490:04

    EngineerRight behind you, so Leclerc on an outlap right behind on us.

  55. Oliver BEARMANHaas14:09:530:04

    EngineerPerez six bars three load push

  56. Pierre GASLYAlpine14:09:560:06

    Engineeravailable so especially in sector three we've got

  57. George RUSSELLMercedes14:10:020:04

    EngineerWe've got Sargent at six seconds.

  58. Charles LECLERCFerrari14:10:050:17

    Charles LECLERCbut i'm not sure i think it was i don't know i saw a board on the right but i'm not sure when i was uh overtaking kevin i think i don't know i saw a board on the right but i'm not sure i think it was lost off adherence but if we can check yes it was very short and then they removed it

  59. Charles LECLERCFerrari14:10:220:13

    Charles LECLERCWhen I was overtaking Kevin, I think I don't know I saw a board on the right, but I'm not sure I think it was lost off at errands, but if we can check yes, I was very short and then they removed it

  60. George RUSSELLMercedes14:11:490:05

    EngineerAnd we'll have blue six, position one.

  61. George RUSSELLMercedes14:12:030:07

    George RUSSELLHow was the clutch target last time? It

    Engineerwas on target and we'll have one burnout this time please.

  62. Lance STROLLAston Martin14:13:350:13

    EngineerSo we don't see anyone improving on the second lap on the soft tyre, so we think to go around again is a bit of a waste of time really. Let me know what you think.

  63. George RUSSELLMercedes14:14:310:06

    George RUSSELLDeceleration from the brakes billport

  64. Daniel RICCIARDORB14:15:040:16

    EngineerOk Daniel, we'll review this lap, we took a bit more margin braking turn 1, turn 2, did you feel something with the car there?

    Daniel RICCIARDONo, nothing in particular, just there was a bit in turn 1 with I think Stroll, so I took some margin.

  65. Esteban OCONAlpine14:16:370:08

    EngineerOkay, so all modifiers are good for as discussed. We need to make that gap to Russell. Let's go break four now, please.

  66. Logan SARGEANTWilliams14:17:300:11

    EngineerOkay, Logan, on this run, pay attention to curb turn 4, because he had some damages on Alex's car, so don't use too much curb turn 4, please.

  67. George RUSSELLMercedes14:18:350:08

    George RUSSELLBocon just in the middle of the road Climax you're done Guys defend him

  70. Sergio PEREZRed Bull14:21:120:07

    Sergio PEREZAre we gonna be able to get anything else? Yep, we've got time for another time-lapse.

  71. Charles LECLERCFerrari14:23:420:06

    EngineerWe think you can save a bit more in 4 and 11. We think you can save more

  72. George RUSSELLMercedes14:25:090:06

    EngineerAnd George we will need more lift and coast for that warning on the dash

  73. Lando NORRISMcLaren14:25:320:05

    EngineerAnd suggestion, loop is seven, loop is seven.

  74. Sergio PEREZRed Bull14:27:010:06

    Sergio PEREZYeah, the time was quite a bit warm.

  75. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin14:27:320:14

    EngineerI can see that Albon is using DRS.

    Fernando ALONSOYeah, not even in practice we can have a normal run.

  76. Charles LECLERCFerrari14:31:110:10
