The session, message by message
EngineerOkay, launch map off and good warm-up on brakes. Warm the brakes.
EngineerJakos, you should be in sync with cars around you. They're on their slow laps now. So Albon 7 behind, Ricciardo 10 behind. Ahead is Kubica Kiviat Bottas.
EngineerSo down eight hundredths, sector one and sector two, up two tenths, sector three, compared to Leclerc, he is faster on the straights, losing in the corners.
EngineerGood lap mate, good lap. Next pushing car will be Stroll, he's two behind, so watch for Stroll, two behind.
Engineerso look out for Ricciardo behind 3.7 I think he's on a slow lap that was purple sector 2 still purple sector 2
EngineerSo sectors to Vettel, down a tenth sector 1, up 700 sector 2, up three and a half tenths sector 3.
Engineerit's
Lance STROLLvery bad at the turn one and two under braking the rear but then i have initial front locking switch
Engineerto axle two axle two yellow multi-function to get to axle yep
Lance STROLLgot it
EngineerWould you like a balance adjust?
Romain GROSJEANJust a normal delta, plus 0.2 Normal delta and plus 0.2 Ok
Engineerunderstood, we'll likely change downforce 2
EngineerCheck how you can compromise turn 4 entry with earlier braking. Turn 4 to get better exit. Reports of light rain where you are now.
Sergio PEREZYes, I can see it.
EngineerI suggest keep push and try third gear turn two.
EngineerOkay Nico, just be careful for rain at turn 8, 9, 10. Also on the straight from 10 to 11, if you can do an extra break before turn 11 to get some extra break, I'm sure that should help.
EngineerBox, box, box, box, we will do a front wing change, so keep the engine running and we will do a front wing change and go out of the pit lane.
EngineerFirst laps for Ferrari Leclerc on C4 at 20.9, Vettel at 21.1.
EngineerSuggest talk seven. Suggest talk seven.
EngineerYour lap time 22.3, Danny 22.5. We lost only braking turn 1.
Romain GROSJEANOkay
EngineerYeah,
Romain GROSJEANI guess we got a little bit too much able. Is there anything you can do to calm down the car especially six seven
EngineerOkay, I'll come back to you
Romain GROSJEANMaybe different three or so and also if you want to go to a high fuel worth of time. I'm
Engineera
Romain GROSJEANPeter
EngineerOkay
EngineerFocus on let slower entry to four better exit of five for lap time
EngineerIt's raining, it's raining quite hard now so bring it back, be careful
EngineerTwo burnouts, then mode race start, then a practice start. Let us know on track conditions. If it's not okay, we'll just come back in.
EngineerSo you're following the two Mercedes, they're low fuel, they should be low fuel.
EngineerSo they could be high fuel lines we may have different information they could be high fuel loads Mercedes
EngineerChico, yes, we are happy to give it a go, just caution on curbs where there could be some rain, just work on brakes.
Kimi RAIKKONENYeah, it's raining in Coral 5.
EngineerCopy, copy, yeah, it's annoying. Yeah, it's raining on the back part of the track. OK, do you... OK, we can abort then, we can abort and get ready for high fuel. OK, if you think it's not drivable, bounce then. I don't know, I mean, is
Kimi RAIKKONENthe B-ball stopping or what?
EngineerNo, signs, keep pushing, keep pushing, you can try if you want, here we go.
EngineerSo we've got rain and parabolica. Strat 3 when you're ready.
EngineerOK, we have throttle 2, throttle 2, that's 3 o'clock on the multifunction, throttle 2, and that's for exit turn 5.
EngineerPeople going slow in the last sector now? Yeah, last sector I think people are losing. You're doing good through the rest of it.
EngineerSo slightly bigger drops now on the pit lane.
EngineerOkay, turn six is the only place you have a delta now minimum speed turn six compared to Roman
EngineerBetter in Lesmeaux, better in Lesmeaux, still losing a little bit, entry to mid.
EngineerOK, only other car on medium is Vettel. He's just done 26.2 on his second time lap.
Kevin MAGNUSSENHow is tire? How is balance? Balance is fine. Tire is fine.
Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, it's only phase two. Phase two deck.
EngineerCopy that.
EngineerWe'd like to try defence mode, SOC 12.
EngineerPress oil pump button oil pump button
EngineerHow's the tire? How's the tire?
Kevin MAGNUSSENIt's pretty consistent.
EngineerI
Kevin MAGNUSSENdon't know if it will start to go off soon.
EngineerOkay, understood. Mode ES. Mode ES.
EngineerYou have
Sebastian VETTELthe pace of the others, on mediums.
EngineerNobody on mediums yet, but I'll let you know. Wachenberg on medium 25.6
EngineerFastest lap of the stint for Ricciardo, which came six laps in, was seven tenths faster than your last lap.
EngineerOk Nico, there are 14 timelapses to go in total, we will box for softs at some point, we just need to find out how long these tires can go.
EngineerAnd Vettel on the medium around the 25.7 region
EngineerPace is good Carlos, Vettel on this tyre, 125.4, you're matching Vettel.
EngineerPossible shower in turn 11 in 3 minutes from now.
EngineerYeah, so Hamilton first lap 25.5, then a 25.1, then a 24.8 for reference. Rear tyres are cold on this compound for the moment, so expect rear grip to improve.
EngineerCarlos, 100% pace now, 100% pace.
EngineerAnd K1 Plus, test when you can. And K1 Plus, test again when you can.
Charles LECLERCYeah, but I'm already slowing down so much in the straight. Can I stop doing K1 Plus?
EngineerYes, you can.
EngineerOkay Max, can we have on the exit of turn 11, boost on, exit 11, boost on, then boost off on the exit of turn 2. This is a pedal map evaluation, turn 1-2, pedal map test.
Max VERSTAPPENYeah, last one was a little bit slower.
EngineerUnderstood. Pace is good, keep it up. B-BAL 2 please for low speed. B-BAL 2 test.
Engineersimilar pace lap one and two, similar conditions to Albon, his next lap was similar to your fastest previous tyre
Alexander ALBONCopy.
EngineerBox. Alex. Box. And picking fan. Box. Alex. Box.
Engineerwe need to try tire saving at turn six and nine six and nine
EngineerTry to brake later in turn 8, try to brake later in turn 8, chance lap time 25.3, copy that, 25.3
EngineerOkay, give me fail alpha 26, 2-6, alpha 26.
EngineerGood laps good laps doing a good job
Engineerone lap for tire saving turn six and nine and then you can push the following
Engineerand you can push again it will be box the slab box
EngineerNo more saving, push for the last lap.
EngineerOkay, that's the checkered flag happy to keep pushing
EngineerOK, box now Kevin, box now. Check the Weybridge lights and practice pit stop. Yep, check Weybridge lights, practice pit stop.
EngineerWe have a test item, it's go strat 8 and push overtake out of Lesma 2, so out of turn 7.
