Abu Dhabi Grand Prix2019 · Practice 3 team radio

Pierre GASLYThe steering is slightly bent to the right, so right hand side down.

EngineerSo a little bit harder out lap than yesterday, mainly not lifting on the straights.

George RUSSELLlittle bit of vibration through the brake pedal and the braking

Carlos SAINZSorry Tom, you said this is the new or the old?

EngineerThis is the baseline front wing, test front wing goes on in the pit stop

EngineerCarlos' new brakes, so good warm up on brakes and take care of front locking with this battle switch.

EngineerSo cars compared to Lando first part of the lap looks good. We're losing out a bit in turn 13-14 that's about getting the exits and a little bit looks like you're over slowing the car in turn 18

EngineerOK, and how was the balance?

Daniel RICCIARDOSo, yeah, it was OK, it was on the sharp side, I'd say initial response still sharp, then some understeer across the apex, but generally a bit more feeling compared to yesterday, but I'd probably take a little bit of front wing off.

EngineerOK, understood.

Alexander ALBONThat's a lot of understeer.

EngineerQuestion, would you like more front flap? Question?

Alexander ALBONWe'll see with the tyres. Let's leave it.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerRear tyres on the cool side, so suggest pushing down this straight. No DRS. So we've got reports of understeer turn 1, so consider opening the diff for the start of the lap and yellow button.

Max VERSTAPPENCan you test all the still car speed limiter? Can I get that away?

EngineerYeah, I'll be done

Lando NORRISYeah, I have no tie times for my friend, so you have to keep me updated on my front tires, I can't see anything

Sebastian VETTELHappy to do the practice start now, I locked up for turn 8. Copy.

EngineerBottas Pusha

Romain GROSJEANI've got a fair bit of vibration on the straight, nothing stopping me going, but...

EngineerOkay, we will look, we will look.

EngineerLike to do one more timed lap on this front wing one more timed lap on this front wing.

Carlos SAINZYeah

Max VERSTAPPENI don't think my dash is working Nate, it just says plus 999

EngineerSo last sector has been improved. Main time loss now turn 6, 7 and 8 to 9. You can improve going better to approaching turn 9.

EngineerOkay, good job box this lap for nose box change box this lap for nose box change

EngineerBig straight line braking 8 and 11 to manage front brakes. Big straight line braking 8 and 11.

Engineerlimpo

Lance STROLLmode on the dash,

Engineerlimpo mode, copy that we'll find out what's going on

Kevin MAGNUSSENJust the check treat the tea tree.

EngineerYeah from the last corner. Okay understood

Antonio GIOVINAZZIBox now off. Yeah, so

Engineerpractice starting pit stop position.

Antonio GIOVINAZZIYeah, you're sorry. I missed a bit today. I was thinking you want to do one turn lap

Carlos SAINZYeah, I'm struggling a bit with the rear in the last sector, a bit more than yesterday. Also, breaking confidence at the bite, maybe not so good.

EngineerOK, copy.

EngineerPurple one, sectors one and two, we are losing a bit at third sector.

Engineerand we need to try to improve apex speed 1 so exit turn 14 and apex speed turn 1

EngineerTurn 21 you can break seven meters later, turn 21 you can break seven meters later

Lando NORRISCheck the car, it went over the curb quite badly.

EngineerYep, okay.

EngineerYeah,

Valtteri BOTTASthe sector tree was a bit of a mess, lost quite a few tents as well.

EngineerAnd Lando, how's the front wing please, how's the front wing?

Lando NORRISProbably mid on the low side, one, yeah I need plus one.

EngineerOK.

Nico HULKENBERGWell, got a flat spot on the front right now.

EngineerCopy that Niko.

EngineerThe track is clear behind Seb, I'm not sure what he's up to, do not get pushed by him if you need to go slower, manage your tyres do so.

EngineerLewis, you are still P1, just 15 thousandths to VALTRI

Daniel RICCIARDOI'm pretty happy with that. As far as the tires, probably won't get more out of it next time. Okay,

Engineerunderstood.

EngineerOkay, try to pick up the pace a little bit, Max.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, I've got two cars in front of me, mate.

EngineerWe see a bit of oil coming out of the exhaust. Everything is okay from our side, Checo. We're keeping an eye.

Carlos SAINZGoing to do a double cooldown lap. It was a mess with the Red Bull overtaking in the last corner.

EngineerShall we go up on front wing as a test for this next lap, should we at least test it on the next lap? Yeah, we can do it's just

Alexander ALBONIt's already gonna be okay just because it's a second push

EngineerSo good job for a second attempt. You're 30 milliseconds slower than your best, but second attempt, that's a good job and good improvement, turn 11, 12, 13.

Sergio PEREZDid you see that TV? It's

Engineerall

Sergio PEREZokay?

EngineerYes, check and confirm. We know what that is, that you can see it on the oil, we know what that is and we're okay.

Sergio PEREZI also see the right of the rear wing, something flopping at the bottom of the rear wing.

EngineerFox this lap box this lap. I'm sorry. Stay out stay out Copy that

Romain GROSJEANI

Engineerwas

Romain GROSJEANreally cool from Vettel, gave me a nice stream but then last sector was no good.

EngineerCopy.

Engineerand try to cool down the tires try to cool down the tires

EngineerWe do not require a bike point find, just two burnouts on the exit of turn 21, a right hand side grid launch in gear 1, right hand side gear 1, two burnouts.
