Engineer: Copy that.
Audio only, no transcript available for this message.
George RUSSELL: the torque doesn't feel even, that's the right
George RUSSELL: It's very light turning, so there's no vibrations which is obviously good, steering is very light turning left and heavier turning right.
Engineer: Oscar this is a pit stop for the medium pull away, no launch, keep the launch map off
George RUSSELL: So there's no vibrations which is obviously good. Steering is very light turning left and heavier turning right.
Engineer: Do scrubbing again low speed Lance as well where you are now
Engineer: Load push, you're good to go.
Engineer: It's going to be extractive if it's good.
George RUSSELL: Just a marker there for the left to right. Let's have a look at the torque for Simon.
Engineer: brakes are in good shape mode push just wait a little bit if you can
Lewis HAMILTON: Front's good. Rear's still not ready.
Engineer: OK, copy.
Engineer: So far we see the track about a half a second slower than FP2.
Engineer: Yeah, probably, probably minus five on those, minus five.
Engineer: The car would turn. So we need to do a full switch off then please Valtteri.
Engineer: I'll
Lewis HAMILTON: get the car into neutral. OK. But I won't go into neutral right now.
Engineer: So just try and drag the clutch a little bit. Any
Lewis HAMILTON: idea how I can get it to neutral?
Engineer: If you can just drive it forward just a sniff and then pull clutch again. No, no, I'm in reverse. I can't get it out of reverse. Ah, OK.
Nico HULKENBERG: Let's go, let's go.
Alexander ALBON: As much as it helps, I just want to stay in phase with everyone, so I don't know, obviously, what their plans are.
Engineer: Please look into that gear issue mate. Yeah, we are
Logan SARGEANT: I didn't get any DRS on the main street. Check that.
Lewis HAMILTON: Oh, that's dead, man. Damn it.
Max VERSTAPPEN: My god
Kevin MAGNUSSEN: Uh, that was f***ing dangerous.
Sergio PEREZ: I'll go for another lap before
Engineer: we do the... We'll go mode 2, mode 2 if you want to go for this next lap.
Sergio PEREZ: I'm not very comfortable into turn 4, getting back on throttle is very difficult.
Engineer: Why so? Is it ride, balance? The ride, the
Sergio PEREZ: rear, the rear of the car on end speed. Magnussen pushing at 2 seconds.
Audio only, no transcript available for this message.
Logan SARGEANT: I don't know what everyone's doing.
Engineer: Don't worry about them, don't worry about them.
Engineer: What
Sergio PEREZ: is Siri doing?
Oscar PIASTRI: Yeah, turn pool seems to be the biggest issue with balance at the moment.
Engineer: okay mate so we want five laps in the last run we need to make this our last time so let's do this lap see where we are
Engineer: There might be some PU mode in that as well for the Ferrari Max.
Engineer: Okay solid lap.
Max VERSTAPPEN: Yeah I mean I know where I can gain time but it's just not possible you know why.
Kevin MAGNUSSEN: You have to let me know if it's timed or not. It was it was fine, but yeah
Engineer: Magnuson slow so no one pushing behind right toggle turn 15
Engineer: Eight tenths to Leclerc, P1, you were level with him up to that turn 15-16.
George RUSSELL: So a lot of free will and it's
Engineer: a
George RUSSELL: five.
Alexander ALBON: We don't know what we're doing on the front side. It's just nowhere. The front's
Engineer: been
Alexander ALBON: gone so early in the lap.
Alexander ALBON: Turn on your box and I'll fill it up.
Lance STROLL: No, I need another lap. That's okay, so we can go around again.
Sergio PEREZ: Yeah, there was no way
Lando NORRIS: Idiots these blokes. All of them. Not all of them, just some of them.
Engineer: I won't ask you to name which ones are and aren't.
Yuki TSUNODA: He's bad man, he's bad
Charles LECLERC: Touch the wall.
Engineer: Copy, we'll check. Yeah,
Charles LECLERC: I think I probably bent slightly something.
Engineer: Okay, for now, it's fine, but we can come in and check. Okay, for now, it's fine.
Engineer: Well, no pressure, so yeah, that was just a stroll. Turn one looked good that time.
Engineer: Four
Lance STROLL: very late on
Engineer: Max if you can just think about the exits at seven and eight
Engineer: Brakes, keep it clean, that is four, walk on brakes.
Engineer: the Ricardo 3 so just
Engineer: to P2, yeah it's less than a tenth, less than a tenth to P2
Daniel RICCIARDO: Enter it. Yep. Enter it.
Engineer: offset, this is last push
Engineer: No pressure behind now
Engineer: before the last sector and we can consider going forward of sets
Engineer: Clear of traffic behind, okay, so clear of traffic behind, we'll be pushing next with
Engineer: Take care. That's P2. We've boxed this lap. Track slippery. Turn 3, 4.

Yuki TSUNODA: Oh, so dangerous. In the tunnel, I was going outside and I only clashed into the wall.
Engineer: Copy, we'll report.
Sergio PEREZ: Yeah, still I'm struggling quite a lot with the rear
Max VERSTAPPEN: Yeah, if you roll up like this, I'm going to dump them in the f***ing fence.
Sergio PEREZ: I'm traveling with front locks.
Engineer: And Daniel, for reference, we didn't do the forward offset for the last couple of corners.
Engineer: So you've found a bit of time there, so green sector 1, about another 400s improvement there. So yeah, it's 3, just over 3 tenths of an hour there, URP3.
Lewis HAMILTON: Yeah mate, considering the time loss, we got
Engineer: back there a little bit. Yeah, not bad, yeah, I think we've got a little bit to work on, but yeah, well done for getting back in the rhythm.
