The session, message by message
Alexander ALBONAll right
Franco COLAPINTOMan, ghastly, what the f***? Yeah, but we almost crashed.
EngineerYeah, I saw, I saw.
Lewis HAMILTONIs everyone still in the garage?
EngineerThe car's just leaving the pit lane now So are you done?
Lewis HAMILTONThat's the session done?
EngineerAffirm Lewis, you'd only get one lap out of this tyre
Max VERSTAPPENGreat job Max, be well. Let's go, nice one.

Audio only, no transcript
Kevin MAGNUSSENFelt like turn 1 was a bit damp.
EngineerOk, so double slowmax, let me know if you'd like to come through for a flap adjust.
George RUSSELLBrakes don't feel great, feels a bit warped
EngineerEngine grey 8, position 3, minus 1 when you can, no threats behind, that's engine grey 8, position 3, minus 1.
EngineerI
Carlos SAINZthink it will be double cool but let
Engineerme know okay happy for double cool we stay young
EngineerAnd you can repeat the toggle usage, that was good, I'm in turn on P1, 33.8
EngineerYeah, main loss was turn 19 into exit.
Lewis HAMILTONGeorge surely isn't on the time because I've caught him off a lot I can't get to my delta because George is going slow OK
EngineerSuggest red mid six, red mid six, Perez two.
EngineerThe exit of 7, you don't need to pull all the way back to the white line.
EngineerI
Charles LECLERCcannot be negative with the guys in front
EngineerOkay, we are through we're through
Pierre GASLYWe'll manage to improve on the second lap, because...
EngineerSo let's focus on the in-lap, we'll have a look at that.
Audio only, no transcript
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.
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
Lewis HAMILTONWhat's the reason we're quite early on this one?
EngineerJust to avoid traffic and tripping over a load of people.
George RUSSELLStagger isn't very good front to rear.
EngineerBrakes are at a good temperature.
EngineerNico five seconds ahead he's backed off quite a lot four seconds ahead
Engineerwind slightly stronger than previous run
EngineerAnd it will be mode push before last corner.
EngineerFront end is a better window than SQ101
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.
EngineerSo the opportunities are minding the late entry speed to turn one.
Kevin MAGNUSSENThat was a bit dangerous from the
EngineerRV
George RUSSELLI'll just abort after turn 1 if you're happy.
EngineerNo, just keep pushing, so go Strat 2.
Max VERSTAPPENStruggling a lot with the rides.
EngineerUnderstood, copy that.
George RUSSELLI've made a mail a bit, any traffic?
EngineerKayuki's just pepped us. He'll have it now.
Fernando ALONSOYeah, then I was slow anyway.
Yuki TSUNODAGood job. Good job
Pierre GASLYBut just I can't get out of ten one eleven
EngineerOkay, so let's just focus on your Delta, we are boxing this lap, so we're P10 was a 34.0
EngineerOkay Liam, that won't be enough.
Liam LAWSONThat was very scrappy, sorry.

Lewis HAMILTONIs everyone still in the pit in the garages?
EngineerA few still in there. Is
Lewis HAMILTONit just us three out or not?
George RUSSELLWe'll be using this time tomorrow.
EngineerAye, Phil.
Lewis HAMILTONCome on guys, that was not good. Yep, copy Lewis, understood.
Max VERSTAPPENWind is still the same, like in the last sector.
EngineerUh, yes.
EngineerWe don't have much margin, so we can't mess around too much. Just a normal outlap.
Lewis HAMILTONGuys, that was not good. That's the session done, huh? AFM Lewis, yeah, you'd only get one lap out of this tyre. We don't have time to fulfill any right now.
EngineerOkay checkered flag box now Nico Good lap Nico box now. We just need a slow in lap because we still have a water issue
Yuki TSUNODAI thought that was an okay lap, but yeah, just promise.
Franco COLAPINTOYeah, yeah, I'm sure, I'm sure there is, but okay, let's see tomorrow what we can do.
