The session, message by message
EngineerOK, I have something wrong with the cargo steps. Now I have an issue with the numbers on the dash. OK, copy that, we are checking, everything is OK on our side. Front right says 100. OK, ignore front right, ignore front right, no problem, we are happy. Sensor issue.
Kevin MAGNUSSENYes, there are a lot of understood mid-corner.
EngineerOk, understood, understood.
EngineerWhat's the main limitation, Pierre?
Pierre GASLYJust a whole group with the tires, with the traction and some more shots in the low speed.
EngineerStoffel, recharge button on, recharge button on No deployment Yeah,
Stoffel VANDOORNEI know
Fernando ALONSOI have no power, tell me, you need some change.
EngineerScenario 1 please, Scenario 1. OK Fernando, we are investigating, it will be Scenario 1, Scenario 1 and we will box this lap.
EngineerOK, how was the balance on that lap?
Carlos SAINZPretty good, yeah, tiny bit overbalanced, but good. This tyre feels a lot stiffer in combined, and it gives me a better feeling in combined capability.
EngineerOK, understood.
Brendon HARTLEYAh, come on! Yep, I've also got underway.
EngineerIt
Brendon HARTLEYwas quite a lot up.
Brendon HARTLEYYep, Reyes on the way, another cooldown.
EngineerOffset plus two, sorry for that, he didn't see you apparently. Offset plus two.
Brendon HARTLEYI mean, he was in the middle of the high speed corner.
EngineerYes, copy that.
Brendon HARTLEYAh, come on. Ah, traffic again.
EngineerYeah, this time was Vendome. Box, box.
Brendon HARTLEYThis time I lost to Reyes last sector as well.
EngineerCopy that. Anyway, we know we have easy 3-4-10s in the pocket. Was very good until you got the traffic. Was a very good start of lap until the traffic. Good job. Keep the head down and box, box.
Engineerand we'll do a very slow slow that please very slow so plus 45 plus 45
Max VERSTAPPENMy battery is not really charging.
EngineerLet's have charge at 9 and just try to use as much full throttle where possible but priority here is the tyre temperature max.
EngineerMaximize full throttle, maximize full throttle.
Charles LECLERCHere we need to choose what we want, or I cool down the tires or I maximize the throttle, but I can't do both.
EngineerThat was a very good lap, we're just having a look at what to do for corner 12
Fernando ALONSOI don't need a left toggle
EngineerMassive, massive understeer. I've got some issue on the engine as well. Come on guys, there is a problem.
Kevin MAGNUSSENLook.
EngineerOK, understood. We are looking into it. We are looking into it. Just look from turn 1 to turn 2. It's very clear, come on. Multifunction AQR 7. Multifunction AQR 7. And then we can keep on going.
EngineerMode K2, mode K2, you
Kevin MAGNUSSENcan see, you can see the data.
Brendon HARTLEYI think we're a bit conservative on flap.
EngineerActually, stability was very good now.
EngineerWould you like another go Max?
Max VERSTAPPENWell, did anyone improve?
EngineerNegative No one with any pace I
Max VERSTAPPENdon't think we should try it
EngineerOK
Daniel RICCIARDOI feel like the balance is a bit
Engineerfar out so... Okay, full boxes lap then.
EngineerOK copy thanks, we'll have a look. Sir Lewis we see thunderstorms developing 5km away but tend to be moving away from us.
EngineerYou
Lewis HAMILTONcan see the thunderstorm, just saw lightning
EngineerStoffel, is the car okay?
Stoffel VANDOORNEYeah, it's okay, but I don't know what happened.
EngineerOkay, copy.
Marcus ERICSSONStroll just cut me off completely, I don't think he saw me
EngineerAh ok, we saw no replay, alright, keep going
Stoffel VANDOORNEHonestly, they don't move out of the way, those cars. They're coming out of the pit.
Carlos SAINZThrough the pille
EngineerOk, do stay out Carlos, stay out please
Carlos SAINZYeah, I agree Looks dark 821
Max VERSTAPPENLooks quite dark here. Copy.
EngineerOkay, six-second gap behind to Perez. Sorry, four-second gap to Perez.
Nico HULKENBERGAnd then behind him.
EngineerAnother five seconds behind him.
Sergio PEREZYeah, I just had Michael come back now blocking me
Max VERSTAPPENYeah, I'm disturbed all the time, is there not another gap repeating?
EngineerNot really Max, no you'll have to stick with this for the moment.
EngineerSo just try less lift and coast because it's not overheating.
EngineerStop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
Marcus ERICSSONSwitch off.
EngineerUh, yes, switch off, switch off.
EngineerStoffel you may have seen the rainstorm near the circuit at the moment on the radar that is not coming closer
EngineerJust hold it there, Max. Perez turn 13 at the moment. There's a good gap to turn 10 from there.
Max VERSTAPPENCar's getting hot.
EngineerOK, start your launch. Perfect.
Max VERSTAPPENI had no power because the engine is so hot.
Engineeroh man
Sebastian VETTELthis is the worst gap i've been in in a long time to get out of here okay
EngineerTrack temperature has dropped 8 degrees with the cloud coverage.
Brendon HARTLEYOk, I don't know what they're f***ing but these McLarens are f***ed.
EngineerTry to overtake.
Brendon HARTLEYHe's done it again. Yep, he stopped the last second in front of me again mate.
EngineerGrosjean in front is on soft.
Pierre GASLYI'm saying it's looping.
EngineerOK, so the best gaps are ahead, and four more laps to go, four more laps. ****** is
Daniel RICCIARDOusing TRS.
EngineerUnderstood. I think in clear air, the pace looks good. If you need it, there is an eight second gap behind to Hülkenberg. I guess it'll use the same technique on this lap. So if you want to use it up, there is eight seconds gap behind.
Daniel RICCIARDOI'm sending up, thank you.
Daniel RICCIARDOAnother f***er that's using DRS, I just have to pass out of principle.
EngineerThe overtake button is available if you need it.
EngineerOkay, there weren't a huge number of cars on mediums, but compared to our main competitors, we look pretty competitive there, Nico, so not bad at all.
EngineerOK, I'm under scale. OK, understood. Yeah, I've got to jump out. OK, so make sure it's P0, I'll see you in a bit.
