German Grand Prix2019 · Practice 2 team radio

EngineerAnd two burnouts and a launch please. The track should be green.

EngineerK2+, K2+, Norris 12 ahead, Rabanne 6 behind.

EngineerOkay, tire temps are fine. You can go as slow as you want in that last sector. Brake temps are okay for now.

EngineerI see a top 4 out of 106 Ok, anything we can do for that one? Yeah, we're looking mate, there's nothing obvious We see why, but we're seeing what we can do to help you

EngineerDriver Default, Bravo 86, Bravo 86.

Romain GROSJEANOK, once or twice?

EngineerTwice please, twice. That multi is to address the issue out of turn 6. And we'll take a K1 hold out of turn 4 on the next push please.

EngineerAnd we can put a bit less energy in the tyres.

EngineerAnd we can do an even slower slow lap if possible and Lando we suggest doing two slow laps We're going to try two slow laps I'll keep the updates on traffic

EngineerYeah, so cool all four tires cool all four tires

EngineerOnly place we lost is braking on minimum speed turn 8. We can consider going up different way for turn 8.

Charles LECLERCThe brake pedal feels a little bit more towards me compared to this morning. Is it possible? Everything is working fine. It's okay. The angle of it, basically. The angle of the pedal. Understood.

EngineerCarlos, stay out, we'll do one more lap on this front wing. Stay out, cool down lap. Stay out, one more cool down lap. You want me to do another cool down lap, right? Yeah, one more cool down lap. The rear ride height is still a little low. Copy.

Charles LECLERCQuite tricky to drive like this, if you can just check when we are getting back in the box.

EngineerChecker recommend a wider line in 16 on entry for better apex. Checker currently P9, 15.7. Ahead, Sines 15.4, Lance 15.3. It's mainly turn 1 and turn 12.

Daniil KVYATHuge turbo lag out of turn 1, massive

EngineerUnderstood Danny, we are looking at it, you need to cope for this run

EngineerChecker we can do two more calls and one more push, we can do two more calls and one more push

EngineerBit of a vibration, nothing crazy. Wanna go again or not? Probably not, we'll tell you this.

EngineerYou have one lap of Strat 8 available, so I'll let you know, I'll let you decide if you want to do Strat 5 or Strat 8.

Sebastian VETTELNo, the front left is not in good shape, maybe you can try and prepare to rebalance it for later.

EngineerCopy, watch for botas 6 seconds behind.

EngineerIs only the left front? Yeah, left front. Or also the right, because you locked also the right. No, but the right is not a problem, it's the left front. Okay. But it wasn't a big lock. But I don't know, it was very early, so I was surprised. And then I tried to release it as soon as possible, but... It's not in a good shape. Okay, understood.

EngineerI think your microphone has failed, just picking up a load of engine noise. The

Lewis HAMILTONother radio is falling off my chin.

EngineerOk Alex, definitely not easy out there, but looking at the tyres from here, it doesn't look like we hurt them too much, we'll see what we get in the long run.

Alexander ALBONYeah, sure, very very neutral everywhere, especially the high speed, but yeah, the car was super oversteer. It felt like we had so much sharpness in the car, something which we complain about with the C4, it's not there, there's no laziness in the car.

EngineerRecharge on.

Max VERSTAPPENI downshifted by accident in turn 1.

EngineerUnderstood. We'll go for a double cool down lap please Max. I think those two laps can be at standard cool down lap pace.

Carlos SAINZLaunch map on. Yeah, I'm waiting the launch port, everybody.

EngineerCopy. I

Carlos SAINZthink we're not seeing the last thing, not that there is one right now.

Engineerand once again we want speed out of turn four then coast into turn six we'll want break up towards the end of the lap stroll six seconds behind time-lapse

EngineerSo Carlos, I missed the last part of your message I got, we didn't get it terribly wrong, so um.

Carlos SAINZSo, um, box.

EngineerCopy. And Carlos, do you want to try the other front wing or do that at high fuel?

Carlos SAINZAt high fuel, I don't think it makes much sense like this.

EngineerCopy.

Carlos SAINZOr we try more air balance, I don't know, like we said. Your call, I'm

Engineerup for anything. I'm happy to try more air balance, happy to try more air balance.

EngineerYou went to torque 4 in the garage, but I think with the change we made, you don't need to run that extreme. If you're happy to run that, that's no problem. Turn 6 will have more effect than before if you're running that torque 4. Okay, good.

EngineerSo that's a P3, just over a tenth to Leclerc P1, so sectors down a tenth, sector 1 down two tenths, sector 2, but you're faster, final sector, nearly two tenths.

Max VERSTAPPENI have no power mate, this is...

EngineerOkay, standby.

Max VERSTAPPENAnd now it's working I think.

EngineerSo happy for you to take another lap if you think the tyres, or you learn anything from it. Mainly the double cool down, looks like the main difference is the straight line speed. So yeah, mainly straight line speed, but maybe a bit of minimum speed turn 12.

EngineerMax we understand the issue, but we do need to box, not something we can correct from in here.

EngineerAnd just need a bit of car speed to cool the Urs.

Kimi RAIKKONENIt's unreal, these people.

EngineerNo, they're all over the space. I

Kimi RAIKKONENhave to step on the brakes, that I don't go into too hard.

EngineerAnd how is the balance? It's alright, a little bit understeery but not too bad. We could try more if you think it would help.

Lando NORRISI'll just go again.

EngineerOkay, let's go again. So first car behind is Kubica, he's on a time-lapse.

EngineerOk, and you can start pushing straight away, lap time target is 20.0 Ok, understood Fail Alpha, 04 on

EngineerWould you like to try it one more push question one more push question?

Pierre GASLYThe wheels are gone

EngineerOkay, copy

Sebastian VETTELNot learning anything with this Okay

EngineerSo both left tyres hot but look to be stabilised now.

EngineerNeed to watch that left rear Nico, it's getting very hot now.

EngineerSo cool the car, we need to stop on our box and take some flap off, we didn't get all the flap down.

EngineerOkay Danny, out of turn two we need the overtake but on the entire straight

EngineerCan we have scenario four, scenario four, and can we latch the front left modifier?

Daniel RICCIARDOUnderstood.

EngineerTurn six now 20k tailwind on entry and headwind on exit. It's not just following

EngineerLet's have blue bow 5, blue bow 5 and orange torque 8, orange torque 8.

Nico HULKENBERGWill the aerobalance adjust at the stop?

EngineerWe were planning no change unless we saw an obvious balance issue

Nico HULKENBERGBig torque always. I exit at 12 and then a big kick and boost. Yep, copy that. Maybe it's too low rough there. Yep, copy that. Maybe it's too low rough there.

EngineerCurrent pace very similar to Toro's and Renault's

Nico HULKENBERGThe boost pattern seems inconsistent from one left to another.

EngineerOK Nico, Nico C is saying that there is an issue that can be resolved for tomorrow, so you have what is unfortunately expected.

Carlos SAINZYou have your left face on the limit as you saw Copy

EngineerAnd we have the same procedure in pit lane, so mode 12, torque 12, 3 ramps, then into mode 3 for a gear 1 launch.

Nico HULKENBERGI'm

Engineerin,

Nico HULKENBERGit says neutral, I am.

EngineerStand by, Nico. Pull the clutch and try and downshift, Nico. Pull the clutch in, try and downshift.

Nico HULKENBERGNothing happens. Try upshift.

EngineerStop the car, Nico. Stop the car.

Lando NORRISThe Renault is not going, I'm not allowed to reverse

EngineerOk you have to pull out, pull out Pull out to the left and go

Kimi RAIKKONENOkay, folks, we drop... No, no, no, stay out, stay out, we don't have time

Pierre GASLYI lost it

EngineerYeah, copy are you okay?

Pierre GASLYOkay

EngineerAnd you can go to mode slow, mode slow, so we'll come in, wait for the red flag to end, we'll get the other tire on. We can see we have some floor damage, we have some floor damage that occurred on lap three, so your aero balance is more forward, even more forward than it should be, so that's not helping you with all the rear problems. We'll have a look at the damage when you're in here and see if we can fix anything quickly.

EngineerRed flag, red flag.

EngineerOK MAX, I'll win you stuff on the marks, we would like a pre-start rev check again please, can you make sure you're in mode 3 again and recharge off?

Max VERSTAPPENWhich torque setting?

EngineerAs you are is fine.

EngineerPump the brakes before you go, by point five, two burnouts and a first gear launch, it's the long by point five

Nico HULKENBERGNo boost, no boost pressure.

EngineerStandby. Scenario 12, vox this lap please Niko, Scenario 12, vox this lap.

Charles LECLERCI hear something a little bit strange on braking, maybe if you can check if everything is fine.

EngineerCopy, will do. And for us everything is good, on data all good.

EngineerYes Aneko, that's the end of our session I'm afraid.

EngineerFour more laps, four more laps, first two management.

EngineerConcentrate on the exit of 17, so don't push as much into 16 and concentrate on the exit of 17.

EngineerSo Carlos, looks like turn one was okay this lap and the first lap, but bad in your second attempt. That's what we see in the aero data.

Carlos SAINZYeah, correct. I feel I have to be super smooth with the turning to avoid the dropout.

EngineerTwo more laps, two more laps, you can start to push more on the tyre.

Carlos SAINZYeah, brake pedal failure, oof

Carlos SAINZYeah, brake pedal failure Oof, into turn 6 Lost the brake Copy

EngineerCopy I'll make it back very slowly Yeah, drive very slowly, we have a possible leak on the rear circuit, take great care

Romain GROSJEANOkay, complete loss of power on that lap.

EngineerOkay, we will investigate.
