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

Max VERSTAPPENYes, the ability seems a bit better, so I think maybe 2-3 clicks.

EngineerOK, copy that.

George RUSSELLBrakes sound a bit weird into one then.

EngineerOkay, we'll take a look.

EngineerOK, Esteban, recharge on, and we need to box please, we need to box the car now. So shifting is allowed, no concerns, but we are boxing this lap please. OK, what should I not do then? No, you'll find just a normal in-lap at this stage please, so you can shift, change gears, brake, steer as normal, but we do need to box please. We'll let you know if we need any other action, OK? OK, Esteban, so we're going to slow this lap down. We have seen what we were concerned about stabilise, so we're just going to slow the pace right down, we're going to cool these tyres down, we're going to see if we can continue this run. I'd like to drive through the pit lane please, just again to help cool these tyres.

Esteban OCONCopy. OK

Engineermate, so I'll keep guiding you, you're good on traffic.

Esteban OCONBut what did you see?

EngineerIt was an issue that meant we would have had to box, so we've done everything correctly so far, but that issue has stabilised at the moment. OK? It's going to get worse again, in which case we will need to stop, as in come in, box, I'll keep you informed, alright? But just for now, continue the run as you normally would do.

EngineerAnd sorry George, could you just clarify limitation term one?

George RUSSELLBalance field okay, but I just don't think the tools are in the right place. Am I losing a little bit there or not?

EngineerNegative. Term one, term four look good.

EngineerIt was a good lap, P1 at the moment.

Daniel RICCIARDOTo be honest, I was pretty, I'd say relatively happy with the lap, but I still struggle on braking for me. I didn't really feel an improvement there.

EngineerCopy, we'll keep checking.

EngineerFour tenths quicker than yesterday.

Alexander ALBONYeah, the tyres are so much better.

Nico HULKENBERGA lot of fun to see you building up Apex 11, it really breaks up the corner.

EngineerYep, copy that.

EngineerThat's four complete, Max. Four more.

Max VERSTAPPENLeft rear is audio, thank you.

EngineerCopy that.

Esteban OCONI got some decent vibration in the brakes.

EngineerWe do see that vibration, we're going to keep monitoring.

Max VERSTAPPENThis Mercedes is driving on the normal, basic line.

EngineerYeah, fairly standard, Max.

Max VERSTAPPENNo, it's OK.

EngineerOK, keep it going. We're just learning on the PU, that is.

Esteban OCONQuite a lot of vibrations increasing.

EngineerUnderstood.

George RUSSELLMy seat is very high again

Alexander ALBONSo we'll

Engineerget

Alexander ALBONthe Fox, the Fox is just nowhere.

EngineerCopy that.

Oscar PIASTRICan't we put one and a half holes in?

EngineerWe certainly can't.

EngineerPiastri pushing. Let Piastri through.

Charles LECLERCI thought he was further away. Bye, bud.

Charles LECLERCI would only sit with Oscar.

George RUSSELLFelt pretty rubbery, balance is quite a long wheel.

George RUSSELLFronts were just very weak in 6, 7 and 11.

Max VERSTAPPENCar doesn't turn. Needing sleep.

Nico HULKENBERGIt was a messy turn 4-5 with traffic and gravel.

EngineerIt

Nico HULKENBERGwas a messy turn 4-5 with traffic and gravel. Yeah, copy that.

Esteban OCONThere's a lot of understeer again, every time we put a new set.

EngineerOK mate, understood.

Esteban OCONCan you have a look what happened last corner also? There was understeer everywhere except there. Yeah, we're looking at that right now. Also, I think I picked up front on the rotation because of the brake vibration.

EngineerOK, understood.

Pierre GASLYI don't feel good with this front brakes.

EngineerOK, we'll take a look and see if there's anything we can do.

EngineerOf

Daniel RICCIARDOcourse.

EngineerAnd for info, Leclerc also impeding Piers Street just before you.

Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, that was a mess.

EngineerWe have a bit of work to do on the balance, but we're not we're not far, not a bad position.

Yuki TSUNODAI don't know, I don't think, I don't think it's

Engineertoo

Yuki TSUNODAfar, but at the same time it's not so close.

EngineerYeah, the car is in turn now,

Esteban OCONand

Engineerthe brakes are square. Yeah, understood, understood. We know there's things we can do to help that.

EngineerStop, Kev, stop. Stop on the track, please. Stop on the track.

Sergio PEREZThere feels, there seems to be some vibration coming from the front, from the engine.

EngineerCopy that Jacko, we'll investigate.
