The bounce seems okay, a bit of high -speed understeer into turn 5, bit of push understeer there.

Consider left -hand side toggle for the final corner. Better at that than... Magnussen's low lap. Yes, prefer left -hand side toggle, last corner.

I got a lot of damage to the floor, I think. Some bits just flew off. OK, understood. Be careful of Carlos behind, three seconds back. I mean, I can continue, but you're probably going to see something. No, if you've seen damage, I'd like to come in, please. So box this lap, and box now, just stop on the marks.

Sorry, the Alphonse was out in front of me. No problem, those guys are going to start pushing now, so just watch those guys coming past you, I'm going to do a cool down lap now.

I warned it was a s**t in turn 1. Traction is super poor. As soon as I touched the throttle in turn 1, it was totally s**t. Copy. Reels are a bit hot, so we need to be careful there.

No, the car feels completely different, just a lot of any... Russell on you now. I can't understand. OK, understood. Display 14, position 1, please, display 14, position 1. I'll help your apex rotation. Next hour behind you, Verstappen, 20 behind on the slow lap as well.

Russell

Pit
So you've got Valtteri behind, 9 seconds, he's just on a slow lap, still currently P8, Valtteri P3, just under a tenth to him, still with a strat mode difference, Albon will be turn 1 now, he's on a timed I think. Probably, when you say strat mode difference, in our favour or his favour? His favour. So Albon's going to be coming through, he is 6 seconds, happy to go for a double call and then go again.

In the last two laps we've opened the lap about 5k down compared to the option so potentially need to pick the speed up earlier at the last corner to open the lap.

Perez

The only thing on the overlay is turn 7 entry, you could push the entry to 7 a little bit more. We'll need a good break, need a good break and then it'll be go 1.

Was that lap back limit, or was it okay? I will crosscheck for the moment, no feedback from this direction. Copy. That was okay, but off the limit. It looks okay. You have another slope. Another slope.

Okay, we could try diff 21, try diff 21, just to open the mid a little more to help the understeer.

I don't understand why this car in front of me has strange lights. Dani's Ricciardo was on a push lap. Yeah, but he has strange lights on the rear. It's too bright.

Russell

It's just struggling to help out mate. OK, no worries, we'll have a look. Traction is poor. Comes from the apex. Over -rotation. Probably try a B -2.

Fittipaldi
I couldn't quite maximise it there on the traffic. Yeah, there was a bit on the first lap. Don't worry dude, you've found some good time man, you're closing the gap to Kevin. Good job dude. Step by step. Yeah man, you knows it.

Please take me to the procedure again, I can't remember the... Select neutral, brakes on, pull the clutch in and keep it pulled, press OK, select first gear. Alright, I'm here but... OK, we'll cancel it, I think we just need to investigate something on our side, sorry about that.

Yeah but, I can't get 8th gear if I'm with the PU, so... Copy, copy, try to get 8th gear before turn 10 please, 8th gear before turn 10, and Vettel pushing within 5, Vettel pushing within 5.

There is a piece that fell off. What I do with it on the camera. Something from the camera fell off. Can I bring it back? Yeah, I think you have to come through the... Or I just throw it into the...

The car is a bit of a mid -story, so we can come in, do a start, tyres need to cool down and then we decide if we go again.

So if you want to reset DAS, the previous start was deep, then pull the back.

Pit
Well, there's no real answer, so I have nowhere near the grip that I should have, I believe. That's for all speed ranges, so not just in places where we might be able to explain the difference. And the balance is quite poor on top, so let's crank on and see what we get.
