The session, message by message

  1. Lando NORRISMcLaren17:31:290:15

    Lando NORRISSomething doesn't feel right. It's much harder to turn right than it is left. It's really easy to turn left and really hard to turn right.

    EngineerOkay, understood.

  2. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes17:32:500:08

    EngineerJust confirming wind, looks like a tailwind 15 kph through the high speed S's.

  3. Nico HULKENBERGHaas17:36:040:18

    EngineerI

    Nico HULKENBERGfeel like the brakes don't work so well. All the big braking events, the retardation doesn't feel great or normal.

    EngineerOkay understood Nico, we'll check the efficiency and the brake balance. You can go to spark 2.

  4. Lando NORRISMcLaren17:47:560:27

    EngineerDrive straight out. I mean, it feels the same to me. As in, the same as it was the last run, so not resolved. I need to go on track first, but it still feels super easy to turn left. In our data, the bit that we diagnosed, we see is improved. OK, I'll see you on track. Cool.

  5. Lando NORRISMcLaren17:50:240:16

    Lando NORRISI mean, it still doesn't feel amazing. It still feels harder to turn right than it does left

    EngineerOkay

  18. Valtteri BOTTASKick Sauber18:16:250:08
