EngineerAnd the clocks were shallow at 3%.
Engineerand multifunction gx position three multifunction gx position three
EngineerI think you're ahead of Leclerc. He's on hard cars, Shane, as you. First car pushing his Bottas 30 seconds back, so you'll be fine with him.
EngineerSo 20 kph headwind on the main straight.
Yuki TSUNODAI have a bit of a vibration with this tire.
EngineerYeah, understood, Yuki. Just need to leave with that, unfortunately.
Lewis HAMILTONOkay,
Engineercopy.
Esteban OCONI got bouncing in the first sector.
Carlos SAINZYeah, I'll
Engineerbe
Carlos SAINZwith push, cool, push.
EngineerUnderstood. Take another good cool down and prepare your tyres for another push.
Lance STROLLHope I don't touch the wall.
Esteban OCONI think, yeah, it was quite clear what the bouncing was in that lap. I
Engineerthink you can see in all the high speed. Yeah, copy that. Okay, so clear behind Ricciardo.
EngineerSo you've got three ahead.
Max VERSTAPPENSalute, sir.
EngineerMulti-A, multi-B. Multi-B, multi-B.
EngineerThank
Alexander ALBONyou, Israel, for teaching a lot.
Engineerand check Val please suggest resetting it
Nico HULKENBERGSo, I suggest we focus on putting up a flat
Engineerbottom.
Nico HULKENBERGI don't know,
Engineerit
Nico HULKENBERGfeels like a lot. The energy level felt pretty high on that lap, for the first lap.
ZHOU GuanyuI can't deactivate my special tumor.
ZHOU GuanyuYes, it's special too, it's stuff. We
Engineerare looking on it, Joe.
EngineerWatch for traffic, pit exit with Albon, behind him clear
George RUSSELLJust have a think about the tyre taps.
Alexander ALBONThe rotation comes too late to quickly record it.
Kevin MAGNUSSENLast corner is a problem. There's the instability on entry and, yeah, tricky to get the apex. Entry is very difficult.
EngineerAnd I've got out of turn two, purple C7 position three, 160 kph CSL.
Max VERSTAPPENOk, just one thing, I had some weird engine behavior in turn 13 and later in the lap, when I was off track, the car was jumping a lot.
EngineerUnderstood.
EngineerWhite H8 position 9.
Engineerand weaving when you can.
EngineerThese guys around you are on slow laps, Max, so you can overtake them.
Logan SARGEANTI'm asking if we did what we were meant to do for this one or not.
Daniel RICCIARDOIt was definitely a bit better. I think that also helped. Sorry, that made the balance switch.
ZHOU GuanyuYeah, typically we'll continue to coach where he was going.
EngineerCoby, it was not easy to recover the tires with this track time.
EngineerThe
Esteban OCONbalance is a little bit of flat-bottom rotation to the right. A bit of understeer everywhere else in the corner.
Yuki TSUNODAYeah, I have quite a lot of problems again. Still like a vibration from the tire, whatever.
Lewis HAMILTONIt's Fabry down on the
Engineertrack between
Lewis HAMILTON22 and 3.
Daniel RICCIARDOI was struggling with the front.
EngineerOkay, second cool-down, a bit of weaving for the fronts and break warm-up when you can.
Max VERSTAPPENYeah, that's me.
EngineerLet's stop the pan behind. I think he's on high fuel.
Max VERSTAPPENThe car is just going by itself.
EngineerStandby. Was that with the strut change, Max?
Max VERSTAPPENYeah, something like that.
EngineerSo, status 2 to start with, acquire on the Multi, please.
EngineerAyuki, let's assume everybody is sustainable now on track.
Engineersuggest right hand toggle to the last corner right hand toggle
EngineerAnd white H13, white H13.
Max VERSTAPPENEngine didn't pick up at 10.16, not enough power.
EngineerThat's it, thank you.
Lance STROLLHow much do you want me to lean on these tires because they're already quite hot?
EngineerSo we just need temp in the left front of the minute lamp so we can lean on it where you are now and focus on front left temp
EngineerDon't worry about it. Don't worry about it
Pierre GASLYcurrently
Engineerpace looking good Esteban's last lap was a 36.7 time to gain exit of turn four
EngineerPlease use DRS on the next lap and we suggest Diff 12 if you have too much understeer.
EngineerAnd that'll be the checkered flag. We need PU cooling this cool down lap.
Esteban OCONYeah, with Rehut for turn 1 was better, and SOC 13 was not good, I think.
Max VERSTAPPENIn 13, the 50 meter marker is loose. It's about to fall off.
EngineerOkay, that's it. Okay.
George RUSSELLThe yellow lines are half the width of Bahrain. Can't see them.

EngineerOkay, understood.
