Pierre GASLY: Steering is right hand side down.
Engineer: Okay mate, we're just checking the data now.
Engineer: GX3 please, GX3.
Sergio PEREZ: A little bit of neutral balance into the high speed and then we come down on the flap.
Pierre GASLY: Yeah, come on, you've got to do a better job between cars with traffic
ZHOU Guanyu: We're doing one push up, one charge up
Engineer: And press overtake before turn one, practice turn one.
Engineer: Okay, we'll go double slow. Double slow.
Sergio PEREZ: Yeah, you told me too late.
Engineer: I don't know what he was doing opening an app like that.
Sergio PEREZ: No, I think we get to do some mechanical for the high speed. I'm too neutral on the entry. We've
Engineer: got Norris at 4 seconds.
Yuki TSUNODA: Sorry, I forgot to go backwards after turn 4. Remind me next time.
Engineer: George did single cool he was 10 degrees hotter on a bulk
Engineer: Oscar, suggest a box and we can adjust the car. Suggest a box.
Charles LECLERC: Maybe we do it over cool. Let's go through the peak lane minus
Engineer: four
Engineer: What I'd like to do is go for this double cool, we've got one more cool up after this, we'll go for the next push, if we're down by the pit entry I'd like to come in, save ourselves a bit of time because these changes might take a little bit longer.
Engineer: And then it's cruise six, exit of turn 12.
Franco COLAPINTO: But the rear looking is quite big, I feel, at the moment.
Engineer: Let
Carlos SAINZ: me open one up, turn one and two, tell me what do I need to do.
Engineer: Carry speed in one and prepare less turn two.
Engineer: When you arrive, stop on the marks, find hold revs, and then switch off, please.
Carlos SAINZ: So we need more stability than six and just better ride the car.
Franco COLAPINTO: It doesn't feel bad, this level now, I think. It's more grip-related, not rear-oriented.
Engineer: And Lando suggests silver d5, silver d5.
Engineer: Would you like to take another push lap instead?
Valtteri BOTTAS: Ideally, yes.
Engineer: And I know we think we should potentially do another cool down lap.
Engineer: And now we should move to constant sock. I see you doing the switches already. Let's pass through the pit lane for the practice start.
Nico HULKENBERG: There's a bit of clutch dragging when I stand still. Before the start the car is pulling forward.
Engineer: It's
Alexander ALBON: still massively overflexed
Engineer: as
Alexander ALBON: well, like I'm turning it to really far.
Engineer: Do you want to box now and do a flap adjust straight away before we start the run?
Engineer: To get on with it there's a pretty good gap here. Collar pin toe 14 seconds back so I can get out in front of him
Liam LAWSON: Razor graining a lot man
Engineer: Holkberg and Gasly both in turn one very close together, correction Gasly bailed because they were too close
Alexander ALBON: The problem is
Engineer: Lawson ahead is on consecutive but he's going fairly slowly so if you can get by that's fine for us.
Alexander ALBON: The problem is not Lawson, it's everyone else doing different laptops.
Engineer: And if we can try to manage more, exit 267, UK is much more gentle, exit 267.
Liam LAWSON: Yeah, copy. I'm trying to use the front. That's
Engineer: a
Liam LAWSON: problem.
Engineer: Need to reduce the speed. Balance is very limited. It's going to be difficult to use the front. Copy.
Engineer: You're gonna have to give me two three minutes. We're gonna make some changes to the car
Engineer: Okay, Oli, you can reduce your lift and coast by about 30%.
Engineer: So we're boxes lap attack the entry will come down three
Engineer: So Lance, we're going to start our last time now. We're going to cut the run short. Please add 25 metres lifting coast to one and four.
Audio only, no transcript available for this message.
Engineer: I'll pick that up.
George RUSSELL: A weird bouncing futon line.
Engineer: Okay, so once we take the checkered flag, we'd like an aero cruise out of three. Aero.

ZHOU Guanyu: On the turning of turn 6, I have a massive bump, like a full time vibration there.
Engineer: Happy with pace, a bit difficult to know where everyone is on fuel, but happy where we are.
Engineer: Strat Mode 8, Strat Mode 8
Engineer: Come over Lake Rose, you'll be go cool, fast charge, targeting plus, 15 on the dash, drop, rear.
Engineer: Input entry test box. Box, yes.
Audio only, no transcript available for this message.
Alexander ALBON: Yeah, I just destroyed the front lift.
Alexander ALBON: 10-6-7, I just, I don't know, can you take my onboard if I went a bit offline?
George RUSSELL: Can't do that. They've had a big impact on this stuff.
Engineer: Yeah, under 2 seconds. We've been sector 1 in this one. Yeah, your track is improving, yeah.
Engineer: So you're coming up to take the checkered flag. Could we have a CSL6 after turn 3 please? So that's 6th gear, 200k's.
Esteban OCON: Yeah, second lap was basically better entry stability, but a lot of understeer mid-corner, so that
Engineer: didn't help.
Engineer: Okay, stopping on the marks. The guys will do a tyre change and then go to P1 please. You'll then be pushed forwards out of the box to clear for Nico.
Alexander ALBON: My headrest pin came out.
Engineer: Okay, understood.
ZHOU Guanyu: Something feels strange on the front. It feels worse like it doesn't feel it's turning. My car is not turning
Lewis HAMILTON: Right close, he's still bad
Lewis HAMILTON: They're bouncing, they're close to the track everywhere.
George RUSSELL: My right elbow's getting cool on the... Don't take...
Lewis HAMILTON: How much time have we got?
Engineer: It'll be one more lap when you cross the line.
George RUSSELL: That was one bumpy ride.
Engineer: Wow.
Charles LECLERC: I have it. Some people are sleeping. I couldn't practice speed entry, they were pushing.
