Every message, in the order it happened
Engineer: OK, Kevin, big gap behind, CSL5 if it's safe, and you can do a DRS check on either straight if it's safe, OK? Big gap behind.
Engineer: So again in reports of grip low grip is low
Lance STROLL: TRS is enabled, but it shouldn't be in these conditions, no?
Engineer: So now you will approach turn 11 and box drive thru, practice start.
Antonio GIOVINAZZI: Yep, last corner, box.
Engineer: Ok Kimi, so no buy points, no burnouts, and just a start please.
Engineer: 8, 9 and 10. Radio loud and clear. 8, 9, 10.
Engineer: And box and slap, box box. Copy.
Engineer: OK, Kimi, box box, and this time we stop on position and...
Kimi RAIKKONEN: OK.
Carlos SAINZ: Check drivability at low, 0-30% throttle Copy
Engineer: and suggest blue before blue before
George RUSSELL: Mate, I've
Engineer: got
George RUSSELL: zero rear down force. Let me twix it, please.
Engineer: Here we've got still issues with the rear wing.
Engineer: Mode 3, pit limiter off, practice starts. Track is clear, boat has last corner.
Pierre GASLY: Is the pit limiter on or off?
Engineer: It is on now, turn it off.
Engineer: so go get that i
Robert KUBICA: repeat i cannot hear you i can hardly hear you
Pierre GASLY: Tyres are really cold
Engineer: Copy that, consider a bid lap
Pierre GASLY: Ok, it's hot, the tires are really cold Copy
Engineer: that, we still have the same gap to the cars behind Same issues for them
Engineer: Consider diff for the next lap, looks like we have a bit too much front end now
Engineer: recharge on recharge on initial drop 33 33
Engineer: Two burnouts and a launch please.
Engineer: Treco tyres are cooler than the start of the previous run, so they're gonna need more temperature. Yeah, I
Sergio PEREZ: know, but the track position is poor.
George RUSSELL: What are they doing bringing a truck onto the track while we're still driving around? Just completely unnecessary, especially in these conditions.
Engineer: Again, tyres are cold max, cooler than the start of the previous outing, so caution again, turn 12 as you build up some temperature.
Engineer: More brake warm-up would be good, more brake warm-up into parabolica
Engineer: So tyre temp is still below optimum so use the next lap just to build some temperature
Daniil KVYAT: Yeah, I went over the sausage curbs so I'm about to lap
Daniil KVYAT: In the rear in turn 1 it wasn't very good.
Engineer: Ok, tyres were on the cold side, I will let you know on settings.
Carlos SAINZ: What's
Engineer: the
Carlos SAINZ: lap times, how are we doing?
Engineer: Fastest lap is Verstappen 135.3, Hülkenberg 135.5, your P5 at the moment.
Engineer: Red flag, red flag
Engineer: And Lando, the car that stopped has managed to get going again, it will stay red so we will be boxes lapped but we're going to turn the car around quickly
Lando NORRIS: Alright, confirm
Engineer: Box, Box, keep following the reference, Box, Box, stop in front of the garage and switch off
Engineer: Mode slow, one burnout, then mode race start, second gear start.
Engineer: Okay Carlos, so we'll need good warm-up on front brakes, good warm-up on front brakes, pit lane screen
Engineer: Good warm up on front brakes
Engineer: Engine 8, position 8, good warm up on tires, engine 8, position 8.
Engineer: Hopefully the temps will turn the corner and start coming
Engineer: A lot of falling under brake in there, in that brake zone. We have a slight temperature split on the front so suggest big stop turn 11, big stop turn 11 before you open the lap.
Engineer: And we need the engine 8 position 5 engine 8 position 5
Lando NORRIS: I want to go for one more, but I can abort in the dry areas if you want me to, I just want to go better in turn one, turn two But I can save it more in the dry areas if you want
Engineer: I'd rather if we go for it, then we just do it properly. We can always abort out of parabolica I'd rather you go for it properly
Engineer: Carlos, how's the track now? How's the track? Getting
Carlos SAINZ: a bit drier.
Antonio GIOVINAZZI: Yeah, okay, just fine for the one
Engineer: Do you have a good feel in terms of balance? Okay. If you're happy with balance, then we'll box this lap, box this lap.
Engineer: And just be careful with that brake magic on.
Carlos SAINZ: Yeah, as soon as I go down the tires, it's not the same in 2 turn 1, so I need a kind of a build up.
Engineer: Copy.
Engineer: So with the line charge on, charge on and then we do a change to QALY SOC and after the charge lap we do one push lap.
Engineer: So Carlos brakes a bit cold, but they look okay by the time you get that rear locking
Engineer: So casing temps on the cold side, if you can work those fronts.
Engineer: You're now P3 Leclerc, P1 131.2, Hamilton 131.8
Daniil KVYAT: Yeah, it didn't help too much once the tires start sliding it's completely gone. There's no nothing really helping it
Engineer: Dubinasi, behind you, watch your mirrors, we need good braking in the last two Engine 3, position 7 Engine 3, position 7
Engineer: Juvenile Z behind you, watch your mirrors, we need good braking in the last two Engine 3, position 7 We can see others are braking a bit more to the left in turn 1 To the right, to the right, you're more to the left We're happy to try one more, work on your brakes now
Engineer: And practice Q3 Enlop 215 maximum speed, driver default 09 when you can, correction, chassis default 09.
Engineer: Ascari was a lot better, Ascari was a lot better Turn 7 is the main limitation for us We have a look when you come back Yeah,
Pierre GASLY: the front left is also quite destroyed after the lockout
Engineer: Yeah, agreed, agreed, we can see that on data
Engineer: Okay, Kevin, mode slow, mode slow, and then just press in button. We just want to check the delta times are working, so please press in button. Don't worry about the delta, we're just checking it's working.
Engineer: This run will be push-pull-push, two push-lap available.
Engineer: Track is clear, mode raise.
Engineer: OK George, remember DRS is now enabled, potentially we'll go around again but for this first one it'll be disabled I think for us, so we might use DRS on the first straight
Engineer: And Leclerc is 8 seconds behind you, looks like he did struggle with traction out of both chicanes.
Lando NORRIS: Yeah it's fine.
Engineer: Sainz is 11 behind, we should be okay, Russell 3.5 in front, don't get too close, charge your Flask Corner
Engineer: We have two more laps after this, two more laps after this, think about engine brake.
Pierre GASLY: I thought is everything ok with your team? Copy, everything ok now
Engineer: Sainz 3 behind on push up Sainz 3 behind on push up and then face with Russell
Engineer: Just had DRS checks, just caution when releasing on the brakes, do it nice and early, you have better behind.
Max VERSTAPPEN: How many laps can I do?
Engineer: One time lap, one time lap.
Engineer: Danny, are you happy to do one more push? We can do one more push.
Daniil KVYAT: Well, if you want me to. Yeah, if there is time, yeah, why not?
Max VERSTAPPEN: Can I do another one?
Engineer: You will pick up the checkered flag. You can't continue to keep pushing on the way in, but you will pick up the checkered flag.
Engineer: box this lap box, we'll need to do the mode fuel wasting test with the ramp on exit turn 2
Charles LECLERC: Albon just stayed in the middle when he saw me, so he couldn't do exactly what we wanted.
Engineer: Stop in front of Sebastian, stop in front of Sebastian and we need a bite point
