French Grand Prix2019 · Practice 3 team radio

EngineerFive point find, two burnouts and a second gear launch please. Track should be green in four seconds.

EngineerTurn 1 and 2. Turn 1 and 2, loud and clear and OK to push.

Engineerand remember at some point we want to test a visor tear-off

EngineerAnd after 9, I need mode R+, gear 6 until 11, please.

EngineerTires are good, you can open the gap, it's staying out.

EngineerCan you think about pull toggle for three to six for the next if you need more support?

Daniil KVYATOkay

EngineerDanny we can afford to be one click offset rearward brake offset rearward

EngineerWhen

Robert KUBICAI cool down then I do one more.

EngineerCopy. Ok, the track is clear ahead and behind, just reset your blend flick. And go push, go push.

EngineerScenario 8 and SOC 4, please.

EngineerOK, and recharge on, OK, and how's the balance? You're clear from traffic behind?

Daniel RICCIARDOYep, it was OK, a little bit on the nose, but not too far off, but yeah, I would take a little front wing out.

EngineerOK, understood, you're happy to do one more lap first and then come in for an adjust? Yep,

Daniel RICCIARDOyeah, no problem.

George RUSSELLSomething's not right. No power.

EngineerOK, box is that box, going up.

George RUSSELLCopy, can I change gears?

EngineerYep, changing gears is fine. Just nice and steady on the way in.

EngineerOkay Nico, ready for comments when you are, first thing we need to know is whether you wish to try the forward-forward setup so we can get on to it. Yeah, quite limited, low speed 5, 15 actually, it's more kind of understeer situation, but I feel in the third sector, particularly 12, 11, 12, 14.

EngineerA tenth, just over a tenth down sector one, two and a half tenths sector three. You were just under a tenth faster in the middle. So mainly minimum speed turn one, two.

EngineerSo, Carlos, that is P10. Lando is P6. He's three tenths up the road. That is two tenths in turn 11 and one tenth in turn 12.

EngineerAnd mode charge, mode charge, that was a good lap, box now, box, for a practice start, we need engine 6, engine 6 and mode FW, when you can, mode FW.

EngineerOkay, so just focus on bringing those tire temperatures down fronts are still the lead axles so they can't afford to drop

EngineerSo Valtteri is now P1, 2.5 tenths, improved speed, minimum speed turn 1 and 2.

Max VERSTAPPENTy, I have no grip on the rear.

Antonio GIOVINAZZIDisimposed to do the burnout Copy

EngineerAntonio

EngineerOk, so let's try one more time, and the tires are not bad, so I think they will be ok for the next push.

EngineerNo

George RUSSELLpower.

EngineerOK, we can pick up the pace, it's OK. We're still boxing, but we can pick up the pace. It

George RUSSELLonly seems to be in lower gears that I don't have the power.

Engineerok give me more charge box and push on the in lap push on the in lap

EngineerPlease can you do an aero P4 5th gear cruise exit turn 7?

Engineerand we just need to learn all the gears on exit.

Lewis HAMILTONGears are learned already.

EngineerAnd still a little time to find in turn 8, everywhere else is good.

EngineerSo that's sector one at just 4,000 slower than Valtteri.

EngineerThank you Lucy, that's a P2, just four hundredths to Valtry P1, in terms of sectors, your best sectors, it's practically zero, so tenth faster in the middle sector, you're purple there, and just half a tenth slower sector 3.

Alexander ALBONI had more traction after the last corner, a lot more.

EngineerI

Alexander ALBONdon't know if that's

Engineerthe

Alexander ALBONreason why the rain pushed the front so much, but then it felt quite strange.

EngineerUnderstood, no problem.

Kevin MAGNUSSENNo, that's a big gust. Yeah,

Engineerdefinitely those gusts. Yeah, okay

EngineerI

Max VERSTAPPENjust have no grip from the tyres, it's everywhere understeering, oversteering, over the tyres, it's like they're not gripping up.

EngineerGood lap to good lap. Okay, so feedback on the slow lap. We need more full throttle to avoid derating

Romain GROSJEANYeah, but the sock emptied self at the end of the lap for some reason was I wasn't going up total

EngineerOkay, we'll look at that. We'll look at that. But just use as much full throttle as you can now to build up the charge

Nico HULKENBERGJesus Paris, on the energy of two and three.

EngineerCopy, no problem, let's keep focused.

Antonio GIOVINAZZII have some strange vibrations on the front axle, like from the floor, not from the tires.

EngineerCopy Antonio, we will check.

Nico HULKENBERGWhat position are we now? With the 11?

EngineerYou are P11, but obviously there's at least two tents in hand. And that would put you P8 equivalent to where Danny is.
