British Grand Prix2019 · Practice 2 team radio

Engineerwind direction similar to this morning maybe slightly slightly gustier but no stronger slightly gustier but not stronger

EngineerDo you want to adjust the front wing?

Carlos SAINZI'll try one lap and then I come in.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerOkay, you can go K2+, K2+. There's only a few laps on the board, but that's a really good lap.

EngineerOkay Carlos, that's P3, you are clear behind, do you want a front wing adjust?

Carlos SAINZYeah, one turn and a half down.

EngineerCopy. Can you see it on the data? One turn and a half down.

Engineerand reminder, front 0, rear minus 5, front 0, rear minus 5.

EngineerSo we think in the truck is probably half a second off at the moment

Daniel RICCIARDOThank you. I have a pretty crazy amount of understeer on total. Feels like the front's really high.

EngineerSo 8 tenths to Valtteri, P1, in terms of sectors, 9 hundredths sector 1, 6 tenths in the middle sector, that's mainly turn 6, and then just 7 hundredths sector 3, and maybe think about a bit more diff support, entry turn 6.

Max VERSTAPPENOversteer too far. I need something which gives me more rear support.

EngineerI

Daniel RICCIARDOhave a pretty crazy amount of understeer on portal, feels like the front's really high.

EngineerOK, understood. Can we have a few PU changes, we'll be PU3, position 14, PU3, position 14.

Daniel RICCIARDOOK, yeah honestly I think I should box.

EngineerYeah OK, could also be the aero balance that we've taken off. What is your wood half aero balance at the moment?

Daniel RICCIARDOPlus 4.

EngineerCopy that.

Charles LECLERCWe can also pitch, there is something wrong with the front left, I mean, I don't know, I can try to do one more lap if you want but...

EngineerIs the car okay, Carlos?

Carlos SAINZYeah, just a small off. No gravel or anything.

EngineerOkay, good.

EngineerCan you give us some balance feedback please?

Daniel RICCIARDOYep, yeah I have too much push on throttle. Most speeds, but more in the higher speed. Feels like the rear is soft and squatting and lifting the front.

EngineerOK, copy that.

Charles LECLERCWe can also pitch, there's something wrong with the front left, I mean, I don't know, I can try to do one more lap if you want, but...

EngineerI think it's worth trying, let's try one more lap.

EngineerRemember you have to work these tires a bit harder on the outlook.

EngineerStill very gusty out there, so tailwind out of 9, 25 kph.

EngineerThank you, so Valtteri didn't improve on his medium time, he's going again, so currently P2, just two hundredths to Valtteri, that was his medium time.

EngineerSo Carlos, last couple of corners look very strong. There is, compared to Lando, then turns one to, sorry, three and four look very good. Six and seven are similar to the previous run. There's a little bit still to find in 13 and 15. The rest of the lap is good. The last two corners are very strong.

George RUSSELLWhat's happened there boys pull the clutch leave it give me some feedback if you want me to pull the clutch or not. Yeah

EngineerStandby

George RUSSELLRight, I've got an anti-stall now I'll pull the lever. Yeah, yeah

EngineerDo you want to come in for a front wing adjustment, Max?

Max VERSTAPPENNo, it's not that.

EngineerShould we try it?

Max VERSTAPPENIt's not that.

EngineerOkay, you're just going to stay out?

Max VERSTAPPENYeah.

EngineerSorry, repeat, it's not clear.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah.

EngineerOkay.

Kimi RAIKKONENThe seat is getting hot on the right hand side.

EngineerFor your reference, Carlos Longren is doing low 33 on option, low 33, Longren, Carlos. Press on hold, overtake, exit on 5, 4 seconds.

EngineerValtteri is still in the garage, he's been delayed with a car issue.

EngineerI've

Romain GROSJEANgot less creep than the previous towers.

EngineerUnderstood.

EngineerKeep trying to push in the right-hand corners, especially turn seven

Carlos SAINZ60 minutes

EngineerSorry correction your correct six is where you should push in left-hand corners Look after use the right-hand tires in left-hand corner

EngineerPurple six, position three. Purple six, position three.

EngineerLucy, if you could give us a balance check, we'll be boxing the end of this lap. And

Lewis HAMILTONgo up on France. Take out the whole of Runway.

EngineerOK, so Lewis has now moved on to the C2.

Max VERSTAPPENThe radio cut out.

EngineerUnderstood. Can

Max VERSTAPPENyou repeat what you said?

EngineerYep, Lewis has moved on to the C2 tyre, the medium. So no further laps from him. 31.8 average.

EngineerOK Nico, pace looks competitive compared to the McLarens.

EngineerSo, Nico is on lap 6, complaining about front left graining.

Daniel RICCIARDOUnderstood.

EngineerOkay, you can see left front tyre temperature dropping now, presumably because of the wear.

Max VERSTAPPENThere's

Engineera

Max VERSTAPPENband opening up on the left front. Yeah, it's getting quite quickly along the rest.

Daniel RICCIARDOOkay, switched off. Got a problem.

EngineerOkay, copy that.

EngineerDo you want to stay out Maxwell or Box?

Max VERSTAPPENWell, I'm slower.

EngineerYeah, but it could be good info. Stay out one more lap, stay out one more lap.

Max VERSTAPPENOK.

Valtteri BOTTASIt's showing like minus 25, so there's

Engineera

Valtteri BOTTASbuck.

EngineerTwo, just try to follow the cars around.

EngineerOkay, virtual safety car max, dash positive please, dash positive, virtual safety car, that is for Daniel who has stopped, off track at turn 14.

Max VERSTAPPENI guess you want me to stay out with these tyres?

EngineerYeah, wall box once it's clear the VSE is ending, so stay out for the moment. Yeah, sure. Okay, in terms of lap times, Vettel first three laps, 34.0, then a 33.6, Leclerc on C2, 32.9, got himself down to a 32.1, fourth lap.

EngineerBack to mode 6 as soon as you can back to mode 6. We've run out of battery for some reason

EngineerFeels like wind has picked up again.

EngineerSo I think about just controlling left-hand side tyre peak temps in the first couple of laps

Nico HULKENBERGFairly low vibration on the left, on the front left.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerOK, Miko, the vibration isn't a dangerous level for us.

Nico HULKENBERGThat's

Engineeran

Nico HULKENBERGoperation, an operation.

EngineerCopy, understood.

Charles LECLERCAre you sure that the tyre is not going too fast?

EngineerI've got a very strange mark on the front left. Box now, box.

Charles LECLERCYeah, copy.

Carlos SAINZYeah, a lot of flipping right now

EngineerCarlos, that's recovery from the overtake button usage

Carlos SAINZFront left starting to go

EngineerCopy, so take care turn 9 and 15

Max VERSTAPPENThe left one doesn't look very pretty.

EngineerThis is last timed, wind still very gusty

EngineerHey Carlos, that's the chequered flag. We're staying out for the launch. Stay out for the launch.

EngineerOkay, to

Sebastian VETTELme there's an issue with the stock. Yes, doesn't work

EngineerOkay Carlos, so we'll do a bike point find, it's the new style long bike point find, then three burnouts and a first gear launch from the left hand side. We'd like you to push on the in lap so we can see the deployment up to turn 10 and then open as much gap to Lando as you can so that we can do pit stop practice on both cars.
