    Audio only, no transcript

  22. Liam LAWSONRB16:44:560:23

    Liam LAWSONThe low speed there, I don't even know what's sort of happening, but it's that same period in the middle of

    Engineerthe

    Liam LAWSONcorner where I just... I have to drop so much speed. This first lap wasn't an issue, it's really just a second lap, so maybe it's just tyres.

    EngineerIf I fix sector 1 and put it all together, obviously it's that. Yeah, and I think tyres were a bit difficult, if you look at the last sector balance, so it will go a bit better on the next lap.

  23. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren16:45:070:17

    Engineerso your second lap was deleted for track limits turn 19 i'm afraid currently we are p16 we're just double checking whether anyone else has made similar mistakes so if you could stay in the car

  24. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes16:49:150:10

    Lewis HAMILTONWhat's the reason we're quite early on this one?

    EngineerJust to avoid traffic and tripping over a load of people.

  29. Charles LECLERCFerrari16:51:530:04

  30. Franco COLAPINTOWilliams16:52:300:06

  31. George RUSSELLMercedes16:54:060:08

    EngineerWhat's

    George RUSSELLthe braking point like? I don't know if I'm pushing the braking a bit too much.

    EngineerBraking looks the same across the two cars.

  32. Lando NORRISMcLaren16:55:150:05

    EngineerSo the opportunities are minding the late entry speed to turn one.
