EngineerRemember tyres will be on the cold side and we have new brakes on the car.
EngineerThe
Pierre GASLYtrack is still pretty greasy with a couple of corners with the tree.
EngineerAnd Fernando, just be careful with the wet patch into Turn 1, yourself and other drivers have had the same problem.
EngineerI
Stoffel VANDOORNEhave a lot of vibration.
EngineerHappy to continue. OK, Stoff, recharge on. This level of vibration is safe for us. Do you want another lap?
Stoffel VANDOORNEI mean, it's quite severe on my side. I mean, it's quite severe on my side.
EngineerIf you want one more lap so you can learn, then we can do one more. Otherwise we box this lap.
Stoffel VANDOORNEI think we box. We let the track get in better condition.
EngineerCopy. So box this lap.
Stoffel VANDOORNEThe tire is...
Engineerdestroyed.
EngineerAre the front tyres okay? They're okay, front and the left.
EngineerI don't want to be using up the new tyre, so we'll use the new tyre now. That
Lewis HAMILTONwas a bad idea, a bad idea.
EngineerDaniel, what I would say is the very left-hand side of the track going into Turn 1 near the white line That's where people are struggling with locking So maybe give a little bit margin on the first lap to the side of the track breaking into Turn 1
Daniel RICCIARDOOkay
Sebastian VETTELYeah, I have quite a bit of vibration, so not great, especially for sector 2 and 3.
EngineerCopy.
EngineerI
Pierre GASLYhave the water, I can lick down my shoulders
EngineerCopy
Fernando ALONSOGive me a better gap. I have four cars in front, plus Verstappen coming. It's impossible.
EngineerYeah, mate, it's very difficult at the moment. Verstappen six seconds behind you, then behind him six seconds is Stroll.
Fernando ALONSOImpossible in this low land, impossible!
EngineerOkay, they've got Gassi behind who's two seconds.
EngineerDo you want one more time?
Brendon HARTLEYYes, copy.
EngineerWe need more energy in the brakes, we need more energy in the brakes to avoid the offset on the temperatures.
Kimi RAIKKONENSo tell me if I'm behind, traffic?
EngineerAll on autopilot, all on autopilot. Okay.
EngineerDRS, stack over Copy that Nico, box to SLAP, box to SLAP
EngineerAnd box Sebastian, box. Ok copy, lost it a little bit in the last corner, I
Sebastian VETTELthink some time there, I went too wide.
Fernando ALONSOCheck entry of 4, entry of 8, if we have any problems there. Will do.
EngineerWe're just checking those corners now.
Romain GROSJEANOh man, what's the Tosa doing?
EngineerYeah, I don't know. He obviously backed out on his push lap, so watch for Bottas behind Pusin.
EngineerI made a mess. I think I'm back at all keep pushing keep pushing. We are faced with all the cars We need to stay faced with all these cars. You can let go jump by if you want, but we have to do a cool down
EngineerOk, so we'll box now, box.
Romain GROSJEANSeriously? Wait, I got one lap.
EngineerYeah, we can't afford the mileage, we've already done an extra lap.
Sergio PEREZIt's all okay with the front of the car, I feel a little bit more understeer than before.
EngineerCheco, diff open is latched, diff open is latched. We see there is physically some damage to strakes, there is some damage to strakes.
EngineerIf you want to practice the pit lane entry then it's strat 9 out of turn 11, just caution, the pit lane is slippery.
EngineerTiny bit long and to the left there, your stop position, Carlos. Yeah, I was a bit confused, the DNC and mechanics. Yeah, it was a bit of a late call from here, sorry.
