German Grand Prix2019 · Practice 3 team radio

EngineerAnd OK to push, OK to push, and multi GX3 OK, GX3, you can do CSL 5, 5th gear, Albon 8 behind.

EngineerYep, that's loud and clear for me. That was target minus one and initial throttle was low

EngineerFirst gear launch and drive around carry to avoid the wet patch.

EngineerI

Lewis HAMILTONcan't, my gloves won't go on. Just give me no more gloves, no more gloves. They won't fit on.

EngineerOK, and how is the balance?

Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, it felt a bit more together than yesterday, so no big concerns at all.

EngineerOK.

Engineerand adding focus on full throttle and on upshift beeps

Carlos SAINZHappy to do a double cool down?

EngineerYeah, I'm happy. Sock one, sock one. So Carlos, our feeling is that the double cool down may be too much, but we're happy to try, very happy to try.

EngineerLooks like Hamilton is going double cooldown. People with single cooldown are still improving.

EngineerMy

Alexander ALBONcar is a lot better.

EngineerCopy that, it was a good lap Alex, good job. Engine 7, position 2 for performance. Engine 7, position 2.

Valtteri BOTTASThere's something wrong with the engine, entering the stadium before 10-12, the engine is slowed down massively.

EngineerCopy.

Engineerand we need tailwind turn six tailwind turn six

Pierre GASLYTry to back off picked up someone this year. I left it but copy

EngineerWe need a very slow shardslap, but only one shardslap. You can improve turn 2 and try first gear in turn 6.

Antonio GIOVINAZZISorry, and try?

EngineerSo, first gear, turn 6.

Antonio GIOVINAZZICopy.

EngineerAnd the engine is just a setting thing, nothing to worry about.

EngineerAnd you were target minus two and initial throttle was low.

Lance STROLLThe mirror on the left side has cracked. I can continue but just fix it copy

Engineerthat understood

EngineerThat's completely different. Okay, in a good way? Yeah

EngineerStand by, I'll get some info, and just think about the late downshifts causing rear locking into six.

EngineerOkay Vartri, so we're happy with the data. If you want to box, if you need more practice, stay out.

Lance STROLLthe tires were dropping off a bit we're going again copy

Engineerthat we'll go again Bartas 5 behind pushing

EngineerCan we have scenario 6 please, scenario 6. OK, do you have any balance feedback?

Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, I did lose the rear a little bit as the lap went on, that was the main thing. I'd say front did drop a bit as well, so probably the peak started to go.

EngineerOK, understood, wait a moment, Nico, next car behind you, he's on a slow lap, 5 seconds behind you.

Engineerlap info we can do earlier braking turn six and downshift earlier for better apex speed that's turn six lance will be coming through and turn eight we can do later braking it's just the middle sector

EngineerOkiniko confirming this is the final time-lapse.

EngineerOK Carlos, you have a 16 second gap behind to Hülkenberg How

Carlos SAINZare we on timing?

EngineerTiming is OK, time for one more time-lapse Hülkenberg is doing continuous laps He is now 13 seconds behind He's doing continuous laps in the 1.17s

EngineerOkay Daniel, so we're happy with temperature, so we're happy to make this your in-lap.

Daniel RICCIARDOOkay, do you want recharge on? Yeah,

Engineerrecharge on. You've got signs five seconds behind you on the time-lap at the moment.

EngineerCarlos, do you want to start giving your quick thoughts on that change so that if we're going to go back on it we can?

Carlos SAINZI honestly didn't feel it, I just felt like I had less rear from the tyre, second heat cycle and recently worse tyre performance but not, I didn't feel any characteristic change on the car so yeah, depends how long it takes to go back

EngineerWell going back we wouldn't have to trim the floor so it's easy to do

EngineerOk Alex, we will do a quick gear shift turnaround and we will go back out for push, double cool and push again. Mode 1, mode 1, charge on. Engine 7, position 1, engine 7, position 1.

Alexander ALBONYou can push quite a lot harder with these track conditions.

EngineerWe must use less at turn one exit. We have to use less at turn one exit.

Pierre GASLYCan I do two cooldowns, because I still felt the rear? We're dropping.

EngineerYes, copy, yes.

EngineerGreat laundry, so let me know if you're interested in another lap, it'll be tight. Nah, the tires, they don't have it, so... Copy, so box, box.

Romain GROSJEANYes Yes,

Engineerwe've heard the brake balance Yes, yes

Romain GROSJEANOK, I've got engine issue, engine

Engineerissue, engine issue. OK, just slow down, slow down, I'll approach you.

EngineerDriver default Charlie 25 saw the issue.

Romain GROSJEANAre you sure everything is okay? This is just a Weird feeling and the shaft or something like that after one

EngineerOkay, we'll get the guys to check

EngineerGo ahead. OK, 60, 6, 0, driver default Bravo 6, 0, and then when you're there press OK two times. OK two times. OK, driver default done. Thank you. OK.

EngineerYes, same issue, same issue. Okay, do driver default Charlie 26. Driver default Charlie 26 should restore the problem. And we'll extend the rumble mount so we can push again. So your next push will be your last timed.

EngineerOkay, recommend a very slow cool-down lap if possible, and could you select clutch 14, please? That's at 3 o'clock.

EngineerWe have to see a sandbox. Understood, understood. Too much issue guys, too much issue.

EngineerOkay Kimi, can we get some gap from Antonio? We will do pit stop with both, but we need at least 50 seconds. Yeah, tell him to go full speed. Okay Kimi, they delayed your last lap as well, for info, and box-box. For what? Same thing, turn 17.

Kimi RAIKKONENFor the last corner?

EngineerYes, correct. Box-box.

Kimi RAIKKONENYeah, but this is when you go in the end. That's what the same was yesterday. Okay.

EngineerNot

Kimi RAIKKONENon the left-hand side, but when you go directly straight on it, it was no good.

EngineerOkay Kimi, stop in front of your garage. In front of your garage.

Kimi RAIKKONENHow did you take this time to get them out?

EngineerCan you go and see Beat when you jump out? He wants to show you something on the TV.
