   Logan SARGEANT: Yeah, we're under flaps mate.

   Engineer: Okay, it was a good first lap, let's come together on the next one. Feedback on tools, where do you need most? Where do you need the most to get... Sector 2. Sector 2, so Leclerc pushing within 12.

6. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren21:39:50

   Engineer: Oscar, we're looking at the tyre temperatures, looking at the tyre temperatures. Suggest one more call and then you'll have time for one lap at the end. You're still P2, so suggest one more call.

7. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren21:40:01

   Engineer: If

   Oscar PIASTRI: that's not a penalty, then I don't know what is.

   Engineer: Copy. We saw that.

8. Valtteri BOTTASKick Sauber21:40:21

    Engineer: and we are safe.

11. Logan SARGEANTWilliams21:43:25

    Logan SARGEANT: I'm such a dumb

12. Nico HULKENBERGHaas21:44:52

    Engineer: Okay, Niko, you got through.

    Nico HULKENBERG: Oh, thank

    Engineer: God, man. It was a messy lap. Yep, we'll put all the pieces together for the next one. Your P15. What lap time? 28.37.

    Nico HULKENBERG: Ouch.

13. Daniel RICCIARDORB21:50:26

    Engineer: On a reminder, every lap counts, so we focus on every lap.

14. Lando NORRISMcLaren21:51:19

    Engineer: And Lando, whilst you're there, this is making things a bit tighter. Your number is 10 seconds. That's the point you come on throttle, so we might need a bit of margin to that.

15. Carlos SAINZFerrari21:51:49

    Engineer: We are happy with the brake shape, possibly avoid S1 in 17.

16. Daniel RICCIARDORB21:54:07

    Engineer: That was a good lap, Daniel. Good job. Offset forward. Yeah,

    Daniel RICCIARDO: I hit the wall as well. Turned 16, but seems okay.

17. Esteban OCONAlpine21:54:47

    Engineer: OK, so car still finishing laps, we've got four cars in front, less than half a tenth up the road. So we're very, very close.

    Esteban OCON: Yeah, that was a good lap just before second, but I am not ready.

    Engineer: Understood, let's see if we can get a little bit more out of the second lap.

18. Daniel RICCIARDORB21:55:12

    Daniel RICCIARDO: Yeah, I hit the wall as well, 10-16, but seems okay.

19. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin21:56:22

    Fernando ALONSO: This gap is okay or there are more cars on track?

    Engineer: There's some cars behind who've come in the pits as well, so we're good. So we're just making our gap as normal on the way out.

20. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren21:57:27

    Engineer: So Oscar time to find I think you know with the rear slip management that's predominantly in the traction so it does start from the turn one into two change of direction so we're missing a bit of pace in turn two and then that correction on the exit of eight also hurts us a bit.

21. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin21:58:28

    Fernando ALONSO: How much positive I can be out of last corner, you think?

    Engineer: So you were four last time, so you were four safe last time when we were... So you can be a bit positive. So Ricciardo's just waiting the exit at 17, now he's going. So there's Perez and Leclerc to go.

22. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes21:59:34

    Lewis HAMILTON: I hit the wall.

23. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes22:00:35

    Lewis HAMILTON: No, I got nothing, man.

    Engineer: Yeah, copy loose, yes, we've been bumped.

24. Nico HULKENBERGHaas22:01:21

25. Esteban OCONAlpine22:01:23

    Engineer: And that is the checkered flag. Yeah, sorry guys, I saw there was a ticked off by top 12, so... Yeah, they've just dropped off, you can see. It's a good first sector either way. Okay mate, so... That's good, it looks like P13 from what I can see, so... Copy. P10 time 28.33. So, yeah, not even half a tenth in it. It was close. Still, lots we can play for tomorrow as well. So, stay negative on the delta, sorry, and box now.

    Esteban OCON: Copy that, yeah, we know what we have to do. It's going to be hard I think, but it was close to be perfect.

26. Yuki TSUNODARB22:03:19

    Yuki TSUNODA: Yeah, I was just, uh, let's creep over water in a while, top and def, we're just sliding like high hell.

    Engineer: Understood.

27. Charles LECLERCFerrari22:10:45

    Engineer: One lap confirmed. Yes, one lap confirmed.

28. Lance STROLLAston Martin22:12:34

    Engineer: Okay so gap ahead is six, tyres are all good, we all need a break at the end of the straight. For info Hülkenberg's unused as well.

29. Charles LECLERCFerrari22:13:04

    Engineer: And we have the same wind as last run direction and intensity

30. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren22:14:21

32. Charles LECLERCFerrari22:19:04

    Charles LECLERC: Good job, thanks to the guys for that big push after FT1. Only one lap and I know it was a lot of work, even though we didn't touch, to re-control everything. So thank you and tomorrow we push.

33. Nico HULKENBERGHaas22:21:13

    Engineer: Okay, well, good job, Nico. It was a stroll ran a used and you were 0.1 off a stroll. So, well, it's P10? Yeah, well, there's still a couple of cars, probably P10, but it was really close. That was actually a really good lap. Did Ricardo

    Nico HULKENBERG: run new?

    Engineer: That's correct. Ricardo ran new.

34. Daniel RICCIARDORB22:21:24

    Engineer: Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop! P4! What a day! G, G, G, G, G, hey, hey, hey! Oh, yeah, yeah, you mean. I'm boiling. Absolutely boiling. Oh, mates, I'm so pleased for you. I'm so pleased for us here as well. Very good day.

    Oscar PIASTRI: Yeah, sorry about that, that was pretty dreadful, so, yep, I'm somewhat happy with V6, so, yeah,

    Engineer: thanks guys. It looks like, it looks like a lot of people were caught out by not finding more grip on the software. I hope my radio message was helpful rather than a distraction.

    Oscar PIASTRI: Yep, that means very good, thank you.

37. Lance STROLLAston Martin22:22:27
