EngineerIt
ZHOU Guanyuwill be in the last 2K. I can't take too much, but I can still take it.
George RUSSELLCurrently no bouncing.
Esteban OCONI think the yellow modifier is maybe a bit strong compared to what we were looking for in 2.11
George RUSSELLUpshift paddle is a bit stiff
George RUSSELLThis McLaren has stopped at the middle of
Engineerthe
George RUSSELLcorner here.
EngineerYou can use DRS next lap if you want.
ZHOU GuanyuI need a slow cooldown lap while there is.
Oscar PIASTRII think there's quite a lot of flap. I'd probably go down a little bit.
Carlos SAINZPlus one from where I am now, that is really plus one.
EngineerWhite h8, position 9. White h8, position 9.
EngineerSo we're a box and we're going up three clicks, up three clicks.
EngineerWe have to be easy entry turn 9 to have a better exit Scythe 6 behind him will be clear
ZHOU GuanyuI can improve if it's one map that I also can box. Happy to box if you want.
George RUSSELLHappy to go to option B set up. Yeah, any fun.
Esteban OCONYeah, balance is okay, car is a little bit sharp, maybe it's turning
Engineerall clear ahead track position wise you got everybody behind the thing
EngineerSeconds to Hulkenberg, Sargent pushing behind him.
Lando NORRISLike I just feel like the car doesn't slow down on the second lap the panel up there take it to ten nine or whatever Eleven and I just like I just feel like the car doesn't slow down on the second lap
EngineerHülkenberg 5. Behind him there's a capo. Hülkenberg 2.
EngineerRussell timelapse, 10 seconds behind.
Kevin MAGNUSSENThat's right.
EngineerAnd mode push when you're ready. Mode push.

EngineerTime-lapse. Missile seven seconds time-lapse.
EngineerClimb lap, so they're coming through now.
EngineerIt will be go one currently Norris is five ahead the Astri five behind

Sergio PEREZI'm understanding a little bit more.
Sergio PEREZI'm understanding a little bit more.
Oscar PIASTRII have been a box.
EngineerCopy, we'll box this lap. Two seconds off, Con.
Logan SARGEANTI feel like
Engineermy
Logan SARGEANTrear is a little bit light.
Yuki TSUNODABut to be honest, I feel like high speed, rotation is okay, more towards like slow speed, have been like 2011
George RUSSELLHappy with the reduction in air balance.
EngineerSo clear traffic behind it will be aero P4 after turn 14 aero P4
Logan SARGEANTThe Red Bull let me pass in a terrible spot. Okay, copy.
Pierre GASLYWith this compound actually having a bit of auto-tire, felt pretty good for a sector.
Yuki TSUNODAMaking up the real-time grip. I think we can stay here or yeah something like that
Yuki TSUNODAAnd hairpin turn 11, I don't feel much brake efficiency. I just feel the brake is just numb.
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.
EngineerOkay Valtteri, so we're on P10, Tsunoda 1 tenth ahead, and that's mainly turn 5, 6, and 8.
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.
EngineerWe are obviously behind plan so we'll get the coast down out of 14 on this one
Alexander ALBONCar's turning on itself a bit in high speed.
EngineerOkay, so air balance-wise, if high speed feels pretty good, probably in the ballpark.
Lance STROLLBetter get rid of that beeping sound
EngineerSo run switch out one, out one, beep, go.
EngineerYou okay?
Logan SARGEANTI'm sorry, man. Yeah, I'm okay.
EngineerGot Fernando at the front of that queue on the outlap.
EngineerYeah, tyres are on the low side.
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.
EngineerWe notice that you didn't use the fun curve so suggest if 11
EngineerOkay, Valtteri, apparently most cars are on soft, just ourselves, Joe and Stroll on medium, but we are the fastest of those three.
EngineerSock 6, tire position 3, ok for the start.
EngineerAnd mine are white H10 position 4, white H10 position 4.
Ayumu IWASAAnd they're still in the fast sector because of too cold a surface on the front.
EngineerStill feel like mid corner stay quite a lot there, maybe
Yuki TSUNODArelated to the wind
Pierre GASLYStill have a pretty strange snap in turn 11
EngineerYou focus on yourself, and then we go sustainable, no DRS.
EngineerAnother two seconds back. Clare, close behind them.
Engineerand we will box this lap so we've got seven seconds to Hamilton behind
EngineerYeah. Let me know what you want to hear.
Carlos SAINZTraffic in front.
EngineerOn exit 10-14, 5 seconds, press and hold, over. You focus on yourself. And now we go sustainable, no tears.
Engineercoming through next car Leclerc on an out lap Leclerc on an out lap
George RUSSELLIt was quite loose.
George RUSSELLI thought it was quite loose at 9.
Engineerand I know minor white h10 position 2 white h10 position 2
EngineerLewis, thinking about having a look at the medium tyre, let's say you want to go for that.
Lewis HAMILTONYep.
EngineerSee if we can recover the rears
Alexander ALBONAm I doing something wrong there? But there's no burnout. That's it.
EngineerLano, Lano, can you try not using right-hand toggle?
Yuki TSUNODAThe rear is okay. The front is slightly terrible. Ah, not terrible. Yeah, struggling more.
Ayumu IWASAShould I press a bit of mid-bass for that, or nothing?
EngineerJust the plus and minus for the multi-b.
