Brazilian Grand Prix2019 · Practice 3 team radio

Engineer5.5 please and track should be green

EngineerYou're clear behind we can do CSL 6 sixth gear and then check DRS CSL 6 and check DRS

Kevin MAGNUSSENDRS didn't work.

EngineerOkay, understood. We'll double check. I think it didn't get the zone. So you're okay for GX3. You can go multi GX3. And it's okay that DRS didn't work. It's just because it was an outlap. So we'll be fine. Sorry about that.

EngineerOK, during the pit lane please, in pit lane, just stay within the white lines, do not shortcut the pit lane entry for the moment, thank you. When you stop on the marks we'll have a pre-start rev check before you switch off, so mode 3 and recharge off for that.

EngineerOkay, Robert, we're good to stay out, so just go push, go push.

EngineerOkay, we'll take a cool down there, target plus 15.

EngineerSo it's clear behind. Only you and Kubica have set lap times at the moment. Comparing to yesterday then turn four and the final corner look pretty good. You're actually quicker in the final corner than on the soft tyre run yesterday.

EngineerDo you want one more lap before we play with the setup? Yeah,

Carlos SAINZone more lap.

EngineerCopy. Last lap there was a little bit more tailwind, can't explain that with traffic, it's just a change in ambient conditions. Stronger tailwind turn 6 and 7.

Carlos SAINZYeah, I felt it. Car quite neutral through there and overheat

Engineera

Carlos SAINZbit the rear before the second sector.

EngineerWe added wing or not? Only a small amount, obviously a little bit of track correction today on top of the other changes.

EngineerOculus, that's at P1, 1 tenth to Vettel P2, your purple sector's at 1 and 2, to Vettel it's down tenth and a half, sector 3, that's mainly straight line speed, and you've still had the diff magic on for turn 12, that's just information. Is

Lewis HAMILTONit affecting turn 12? It

Engineerwill affect turn 12, so if you want to cancel it on the run up to there.

Sebastian VETTELI don't know what Magnussen was doing

EngineerI'll put you P1. Two tenths clear of Hamilton at this stage.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, a lot of others there copy

Alexander ALBONBalance is quite strange.

EngineerFeels

Alexander ALBONlike I'm getting a lot of washout mid-corner. Feels like the tyres are overheating really quickly on the fronts.

Daniil KVYATNo, this is impossible with the brakes like this

EngineerSilver stopping P1 9.0, Lewis P2 9.4

Carlos SAINZYeah, I need to get the front warm-up done, so the launch is not ideal, we can do it at the soft at the end of the session.

EngineerOkay, as I say, front warm-up looks difficult on the soft as well Carlos, I prefer to do it now.

Romain GROSJEANOkay, Perez just put me off the track.

EngineerWe saw it mate, we saw it.

Carlos SAINZHow are we on timing?

EngineerCarlos, my feeling is this setup change isn't an improvement and we should allow time to go back for the soft tyre. You're currently P15, the only medium runner, all other cars on soft. If you want to keep this, then we can afford one more lap. I want to try

Carlos SAINZsomething.

EngineerOK, copy. So one more lap, box if you're not faster. I

Carlos SAINZjust feel we are very weak in turns 6 and 7, but I don't know, I'm interested maybe a bit in that.

EngineerAnd how was the balance on that lap, you clear from traffic behind at the moment?

Daniel RICCIARDOIt changed quite a lot from the first, I'd say still similar limitations to the front, but very different to the first lap.

EngineerThink it might make sense to go for a double cool down. What do you think? I'll leave it to you. What do you think? Yeah, double cool down

EngineerAnd box now boxed, and we will adjust the front wing.

Charles LECLERCCopy.

EngineerJust to confirm, plus 4?

Charles LECLERCPlus 4.

EngineerCopy understood, track is clear behind.

EngineerOK, so that's P1 at the moment, and 3 tenths, just under 3 tenths, still a clerk P2.

EngineerOkay, so Lewis P18.3, you are currently P5.

EngineerAnd Lando, how's the front wing?

Lando NORRISIt's fine.

Engineerokay good warm-up on brakes

EngineerCarlos, that is currently P7. You are 3 milliseconds behind Lando.

Romain GROSJEANYeah, that was a weird snap

Charles LECLERCOh, what was doing science we nearly crashed

EngineerOkay, cool the tyres Max, cool the tyres. Okay, that's P2, a couple of hundredths behind Lewis. You have purple sector 1, two tenths down in sector 2, and similar final sector.

Lando NORRISWhy does it go red straight away? I thought we spoke about that leaving it green.

EngineerYep, okay, understood, don't stress.

Nico HULKENBERGThere was some stone or block in the middle of the pit exit, I could feel it hit on my ass.

Max VERSTAPPENLosing a bit of time on the back straight, the last one.

EngineerYeah we see that, it's just a KD rate. Engine 5 position 2 please, engine 5 position 2.

EngineerOK Lewis, so there's repulsive debris on the pit exit, middle of the road, so if you just stay to the left hand side.

EngineerOkay Carlos, we're currently P10, currently P10, Kvyat, fastest midfield car, 109.4 Copy

Carlos SAINZDo

Engineeryou want one more attempt, Carlos, one more attempt?

Carlos SAINZThere's not much more in this tyre, but if we want to practice something, any suggestion?

EngineerSo I think the only question is whether you can gain time in entry

Lewis HAMILTONHell of a big drop in power. Drive out Fizz. Copy, have a look.

Engineerso I think the only question is whether you can gain time in entry still of to high speed turn six and seven it looks like your car is a bit lower apex speed as well so you break the same point but harder than Lando lower apex speed and a bit more understeer so I wonder if you try and v-style that corner a little bit more it may come to you

Lewis HAMILTONThat was the stop sign, wasn't there?

EngineerYeah, copy noted. Lewis just noticed that.

Lewis HAMILTONSo we'll correct that. Was

Engineerthat

Lewis HAMILTONon target?

EngineerAFM you were on target, this time target deeper.

Lewis HAMILTONBetter
