Esteban OCON: I'm not sure the wings were closing before 1, and yeah, 9.
Engineer: At the moment there's some front under rotation on braking, so we're going to go a bit with that. We will have a look.
Lewis HAMILTON: 4 tenths in the first sector, where is that time?
Engineer: Apex speed of 3 is the main point to improve in first sector.
Engineer: Oscar is everything okay?
Oscar PIASTRI: Yes, this guy is a dead snail of us.
Pierre GASLY: Oh, this is very predictable, like, I'm not liking this. I'm too.
Liam LAWSON: The start of the lap is quite sketchy, I would say, I don't know if it's tires, or if it's something to do with my cool down.
Engineer: Yeah, we'll check, we'll compare to the other car, we have good data there.
Liam LAWSON: Yeah, the first and second lap was very different, but I'm 3.1. This is the second I've had a lot of rotate with 3.1.
Charles LECLERC: That's a very good laugh.
Engineer: Understood, Charles. We'll try again the next.
Charles LECLERC: South Star, circling QAS, we'll have to pull down, especially left-hand side.
Sergio PEREZ: Yeah, there's quite a bit of hopping on the ground, a little smitten from the production.
Engineer: Copy that.
