EngineerBottas 45.6 on medium.
EngineerMain loss was turn 7 with the front and the rotation.
EngineerOK Lewis, that's P1, 4 tenths to Leclerc in P2, he was on the soft tyre.
EngineerBig button this lap big button this lap
EngineerYou just keep the temp you can. The surface temps have calmed down.
Lewis HAMILTONHow are the sectors looking?
EngineerPurple sectors 1 and 2, just losing a tenth to Leclerc final sector, see if we can see where that is.
EngineerAnd we turn improving, going on 43.4, 43.4, and charge 42.6. And track is still improving a lot for everybody.
Engineerand back to mode raise, mode raise
EngineerAngalusa P3, Vettel P2, Leclerc P1, Leclerc still with that 42.6
Lewis HAMILTONEqual over all the sectors or?
EngineerIt's mainly middle sector to Leclerc So it's just half a tenth of sector 1 and a couple of hundredths sector 3, so in the middle, half a second
EngineerTo give you a reference on lap times, P4 is Albon 144.1, P5 Perez 144.4
EngineerTime lost to Lando primarily is on the straight, he got a mega toe, so Lando is P8, 1.4458
EngineerOK, can we keep 7th gear please, so don't upshift to 8th, keep 7th gear please.
Daniel RICCIARDOOK, you want me to stay out?
EngineerStaying out, staying out.
EngineerSo, your P13, Roman's P16, yeah, I don't know what you think, what's the main thing we can help you with on the car?
Kevin MAGNUSSENDon't really know, I think it feels good, it's surprising we're so
Engineerfar down. Well, we have some stuff, and I think that if you had the decent temps on the first push, then you would get the new tyre effect, so I think if we just get you a better out lap and a clean first lap, then I'm sure there's a lot of lap time in that.
EngineerBut we'll take a cool down there just maintain front temperature go back to engine mode 3 engine mode 3
Robert KUBICAcopy
EngineerFor
Robert KUBICAsome reason I lost half a second Last straight line
EngineerYeah, copy we see that
Robert KUBICAYeah, probably the tow from the before run but Previous run I didn't have massive tow
Carlos SAINZNeed to tell this towards it's not possible that they don't tell drivers to get out of the way and I know that
Engineercan we
Valtteri BOTTASgo up from the rear bar last one AFEM
Engineerthinking also to tickle the MBR back halfway
EngineerSo currently to Robert's quickest we are plus 0.5 sector 1, plus 0.9 sector 2 and minus 0.4 sector 3.
Lewis HAMILTONStrap And
Engineerit'll be strap mode 3
EngineerLewis is still to finish his lap, you are 2 tenths down in the first sector, same in the middle sector.
EngineerI had a hesitation out of turn 2, but you know, if I need to use another gear. Copy, we'll look into that.
Daniel RICCIARDOOk, you have to abort this flight.
EngineerOk, understood. So watch out Hamilton, Leclerc and Norris behind you might be pushing.
Lewis HAMILTONanyone improved?
EngineerValtteri hasn't improved just through Leclerc is on a faster one now
EngineerEngine 5, position 4. Engine 5, position 4.
EngineerOkay, after this, so box, box and practice the slow in lap, quad in lap, limit 200 kph. So currently P4 and Luis is P5. So the clerk leading with 41.6, Verstappen 42.8, Vettel 42.9.
EngineerBox, box, pit confirm.
Sergio PEREZWe're in box, no more time.
EngineerNo checker, not time that we have to box, box, box.
EngineerIf you want you can start another lap and then abort it for a start, or otherwise come in now if you are happy there for a start. I go for another one. OK, happy for that.
Daniel RICCIARDOAny key areas I can improve?
EngineerSo we're losing time on exit of turn 6 and 12, so exit of 6 and 12.
Max VERSTAPPENHoly ****, I hit the limiter!
EngineerYep, I see that. Recharge on please Max, and we will box this lap.
Carlos SAINZYeah, traffic in the last five corners behind Raikkonen. Yeah, sure. He did get out of the way.
