    Engineermy

    Logan SARGEANTrear is a little bit light.

  35. Yuki TSUNODARB03:46:350:09

    Yuki TSUNODABut to be honest, I feel like high speed, rotation is okay, more towards like slow speed, have been like 2011

  36. George RUSSELLMercedes03:47:220:04

    George RUSSELLHappy with the reduction in air balance.

  37. Esteban OCONAlpine03:47:430:06

    EngineerSo clear traffic behind it will be aero P4 after turn 14 aero P4

  38. Logan SARGEANTWilliams03:48:440:05

    Logan SARGEANTThe Red Bull let me pass in a terrible spot. Okay, copy.

  39. Pierre GASLYAlpine03:51:020:08

    Pierre GASLYWith this compound actually having a bit of auto-tire, felt pretty good for a sector.

  40. Yuki TSUNODARB03:52:320:08

    Yuki TSUNODAMaking up the real-time grip. I think we can stay here or yeah something like that

  41. Yuki TSUNODARB03:52:580:11

    Yuki TSUNODAAnd hairpin turn 11, I don't feel much brake efficiency. I just feel the brake is just numb.

  42. Pierre GASLYAlpine03:53:220:09

    EngineerOkay Pierre, so we'd like to get an AeroCruise out of 14 again, Aero P4 5th gear, and then we'll be boxing this lap.

  43. Valtteri BOTTASKick Sauber03:55:040:09

    EngineerOkay Valtteri, so we're on P10, Tsunoda 1 tenth ahead, and that's mainly turn 5, 6, and 8.

  44. Ayumu IWASARB03:56:100:11

    EngineerAnd the wind is starting to rotate a little bit for information, it's still low intensity, very low intensity, but it's starting to go towards a bit more tailwind sector 1.

  45. Alexander ALBONWilliams03:57:120:07

    EngineerWe are obviously behind plan so we'll get the coast down out of 14 on this one

  46. Alexander ALBONWilliams03:57:550:05

    Alexander ALBONCar's turning on itself a bit in high speed.

  47. Pierre GASLYAlpine03:59:010:08

    EngineerOkay, so air balance-wise, if high speed feels pretty good, probably in the ballpark.

  48. Lance STROLLAston Martin04:01:300:05

    Lance STROLLBetter get rid of that beeping sound

  49. Lance STROLLAston Martin04:01:350:06

    EngineerSo run switch out one, out one, beep, go.

  50. Logan SARGEANTWilliams04:03:320:09

    EngineerYou okay?

    Logan SARGEANTI'm sorry, man. Yeah, I'm okay.

  51. Lance STROLLAston Martin04:12:410:04

    EngineerGot Fernando at the front of that queue on the outlap.

  52. Lance STROLLAston Martin04:13:190:06

    EngineerYeah, tyres are on the low side.

  53. Esteban OCONAlpine04:15:570:12

    EngineerOkay, so it's likely to be a bit of a mix of what people do out there, single and double calls, so traffic may be tricky. Let's just make sure we get a read on the balance as best we can.

  54. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas04:16:430:05

    EngineerWe notice that you didn't use the fun curve so suggest if 11

  55. Valtteri BOTTASKick Sauber04:17:040:08

    EngineerOkay, Valtteri, apparently most cars are on soft, just ourselves, Joe and Stroll on medium, but we are the fastest of those three.

  56. Carlos SAINZFerrari04:20:180:06

    EngineerSock 6, tire position 3, ok for the start.

  57. Lando NORRISMcLaren04:21:370:06

    EngineerAnd mine are white H10 position 4, white H10 position 4.

  58. Ayumu IWASARB04:22:370:05

    Ayumu IWASAAnd they're still in the fast sector because of too cold a surface on the front.

  59. Yuki TSUNODARB04:23:240:06

    EngineerStill feel like mid corner stay quite a lot there, maybe

    Yuki TSUNODArelated to the wind

  60. Pierre GASLYAlpine04:23:560:25

    Pierre GASLYStill have a pretty strange snap in turn 11

  61. Ayumu IWASARB04:24:210:08

    EngineerYou focus on yourself, and then we go sustainable, no DRS.

  62. Esteban OCONAlpine04:24:290:03

    EngineerAnother two seconds back. Clare, close behind them.

  63. Pierre GASLYAlpine04:24:320:06

    Engineerand we will box this lap so we've got seven seconds to Hamilton behind

  64. Carlos SAINZFerrari04:24:380:03

    EngineerYeah. Let me know what you want to hear.

    Carlos SAINZTraffic in front.

  65. Ayumu IWASARB04:24:410:19

    EngineerOn exit 10-14, 5 seconds, press and hold, over. You focus on yourself. And now we go sustainable, no tears.

  66. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas04:25:000:06

    Engineercoming through next car Leclerc on an out lap Leclerc on an out lap

  70. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes04:26:090:06

    EngineerLewis, thinking about having a look at the medium tyre, let's say you want to go for that.

    Lewis HAMILTONYep.

  71. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren04:27:560:03

    EngineerSee if we can recover the rears

  72. Alexander ALBONWilliams04:28:250:07

    Alexander ALBONAm I doing something wrong there? But there's no burnout. That's it.

  73. Lando NORRISMcLaren04:29:240:19

    EngineerLano, Lano, can you try not using right-hand toggle?

  74. Yuki TSUNODARB04:29:540:08

    Yuki TSUNODAThe rear is okay. The front is slightly terrible. Ah, not terrible. Yeah, struggling more.

  75. Ayumu IWASARB04:31:430:08

    Ayumu IWASAShould I press a bit of mid-bass for that, or nothing?

    EngineerJust the plus and minus for the multi-b.
