EngineerSo just remember to build a decent gap before the safety car line as well.

EngineerOk, track will be clear, I will keep you posted on the cars coming.

EngineerI'll build a bit of a gap so you can chase gear sync to turn 10.

EngineerYou're good, Brighton. Brighton's very good.

Valtteri BOTTASAh, good luck there in the end. Yeah, I saw that.

EngineerHow was the balance, please?

Esteban OCONYeah, it wasn't great. The bouncing was similar

EngineerThe

Esteban OCONgroup in turn one was a bit worse slightly Top some understand to one and the last corner Through 13 the bouncing wasn't great.

EngineerOkay, I understood

EngineerOk, how's the balance please, Max?

Max VERSTAPPENThe car is a bit loose in the exits

EngineerStill

Max VERSTAPPENthis weird understeer mid-corner

EngineerThis

Max VERSTAPPENcar doesn't bite

EngineerUnderstood

Daniel RICCIARDOwith where the tires are do we think offset zero is a bit better?

EngineerI think with offset zero.

EngineerOkay, we'll box this lap, please, Max. Max, you're on the side, you're out of the way.

EngineerOkay, go switch to go in. So once the Russell pit exits, can we do a quick in-lap, please?

EngineerHey, this is in lap, you can keep up the pace, please. Nobody pushing behind

Yuki TSUNODAThere was no good lap, but

EngineerYeah,

Yuki TSUNODAI felt also must have understood 10-3 somehow

EngineerYeah, we can see it

Yuki TSUNODAI want to increase the front flap a little bit, like one step, but because of the insta-bleach and everything, I don't think I have confidence to go forward and also traction.

EngineerUnderstood.

EngineerOkay Logan, good job on the warm-up before, target minus 10, we copy what we've done before.

EngineerOscar, we've boxed this lap, boxed this lap. We've got a data issue, so we'll box this lap back in the garage.

Oscar PIASTRICopy, box.

Logan SARGEANTDo you need any flap adjust? Flap is good.

EngineerOk, copy.

EngineerGo switch to go cool, target double cool, so it's double cool plus 10 target please so Logan just leave the pit lane ahead of you now.

Alexander ALBONMassive massive understeer.

EngineerCopy that, do you want to flap adjust?

Alexander ALBONIt's um it's on the low speed not the high speed.

ZHOU GuanyuFully blocked me, man. What the f**k? Can you tell me who was the driver of the racing booth?

EngineerIt was Sunoda. No

ZHOU Guanyusurprise.

EngineerLost a lot of time with the traffic intent. Yeah AFM, we saw that.

Esteban OCONIt doesn't recharge at the moment.

EngineerYeah, understood.

EngineerAnd for turn 5, we could suggest trying the back left instead of the back right.

Pierre GASLYBack left is stabilizing.

EngineerDoes go to the deep maps.

Pierre GASLYYeah, but is it minus 6 or minus 5? It's minus 5. Yeah, so apex is going to be the same.

EngineerWe have Lando on an outlap behind, unused soft, perhaps on my fuel, but I don't know, just don't let him by.

EngineerAnd keep our pace up on the way to help recharge the battery and it'll be aero P3 after turn 9

Esteban OCONYeah, copy, the battery was fine, I just needed to recharge it earlier

EngineerYep, absolutely, don't disagree

EngineerSo Max heads up looking at 11 time-lapse on the medium and we can pit stop for four further laps at the end for the soft. 11 and 4.

EngineerOkay, so box into biscuit and switch off.

EngineerAll clear in front and drink system test drink system test

EngineerOk Logan, the flap didn't go in, so we have the same flap as before, let me know about the balance, we can change it, and let me know how it is the car now.

Logan SARGEANTI'm a bit on the understeer side.

EngineerOk copy, we're gonna do it.

Logan SARGEANTLet's see how it evolves.

EngineerOk copy, we have time for a stop later, let's see where we are.

EngineerThat'll be 13 time-lapse, 13 time-lapse and target lap time 21.0.

EngineerThere's a lot of torque holes in fourth gear. Copy, we're having a look.

George RUSSELLdeceleration from the brakes feel very poor even when I was doing the burnouts

Engineeryeah understood yeah

George RUSSELLstill poor

Esteban OCONGive me base info.

EngineerUnderstood.

EngineerPierre on the soft tyre, 1 minute 20.7, correction on the medium.

EngineerGeorge, 19.8

Lewis HAMILTONYeah, these left eyes aren't feeling good

EngineerQN38, one step up, update on balance on tyres please.

Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, a bit more front, limitation, especially if I push more in the high speed.

Charles LECLERCWhat's the best gap I

Engineerwould stay where you are there's no good gap Carlos should should maybe come in this lap. So that should free up No, it's next lap. So They're staying out

EngineerHPP bun off, HPP bun off, four more laps, four more laps. Can you try a lap where you don't use the exit of turn 12 kerb, stay off the exit kerb of turn 12. Copy, why? We just want to check for the bouncing for now, we just want to check for the bouncing effect into turn 13.

Lando NORRISI hit the floor pretty hard.

EngineerOkay, understood.

Yuki TSUNODAFront under rotation sucks

EngineerSo Alex, compared to our competitors, Sector 3 is our weakest sector. Do you think you can push less in Sector 1 and 2? Will that help you in Sector 3? I

Alexander ALBONfeel like I'm already doing it, but I can try more.

EngineerOkay, Logan, good job, three laps to go, lap time target 21.5, you're okay with tires, good job, turn four, lateral, we can save a bit more if needed.

EngineerTwo laps remaining. Just think about traction. Exit turn 5, exit turn 7, 8.

George RUSSELLBig lock up that front left

EngineerYeah, I bet we saw it

George RUSSELLI'm gonna just pull the tires down now and get ready for the start

Lewis HAMILTONthat's to talk about with the balance for that run?

EngineerYeah, sure thing. Looks like you're adapting quite well then.

EngineerSo we can stay in mode race because we have no burnouts no bite point, okay Right side right side confirm right hand side and target two reds and k2 on until turn one
