Spanish Grand Prix2019 · Practice 3 team radio

EngineerDrive straight out

EngineerOK, Kimi, straight out and radio check pit exit, please.

Kimi RAIKKONENYeah, it's OK.

EngineerOK, good for me too. So, let's remember the cruise, mode air plus, gear 3.

Antonio GIOVINAZZIYeah, yeah, can you check on the cockpit the first breaking pattern one I felt like something on my Legs so like losing a piece from from there. So maybe something

EngineerDo not use DRS between 9 and 10.

Engineerand mode charge mode charge

EngineerYou can go slower for tires

EngineerWe are losing at two three and ten turn us two three and ten

Charles LECLERCNow we're doing one more push, if

Engineeryou want we can do another push, truck is clear behind.

EngineerThe plane is through the pit lane for a start, but if you want to try one more, I'll leave it to you. Yeah, I will try one more, just to revise on engine.

EngineerOK, recharge on, recharge on, and scenario 8 SOC 3, scenario 8 SOC 3.

EngineerOkay, Nico, we recommend top left modifier for turn four in your next lap.

EngineerThrough the pit lane for a start. Copy. Mode raised. Skip the start, skip the start, we are too hot.

EngineerI'm stuck. Red flag.

EngineerYour lap time, 19.2. Danny, 19.5. The track looks a bit green to us. EB4.

EngineerDo you think we need a flap adjust?

Daniil KVYATYeah, I think we should have a bit less for more confidence.

EngineerTwo steps?

Daniil KVYATYes.

EngineerCopy, box, box for flap adjust.

EngineerKevin, just go mode ES, mode ES, and give us a little bit of full throttle just to check systems, please. Mode ES and some full throttle, please.

EngineerWe can go BC3, BC3, we'll keep it for the first push.

EngineerAll right, so Gervinazzi is approaching, starting a time-lapse, and then Raikkonen as well, so probably have to let both of those guys through.

EngineerOkay, dude, you now have a big gap behind, big gap behind.

EngineerOk, so that's P3, I've got Vettel and Leclerc P1 and 2, they're obviously on the soft tyre, just a tenth to Vettel.

EngineerAnd you can take one more lap, just remember you've got a diff magic available for a final sector. And in terms of sectors you were purple sector 3 to Bethel 0 sector 2, it's just a sector 1. So our main loss to Bethel was turn 4.

EngineerWe have no suggestions in terms of controls at this point, all looks good to us.

Nico HULKENBERGYeah, just the tyres gone off a little bit, doesn't feel fresh anymore.

Nico HULKENBERGNo boarded that lap because I was gone deep in one.

EngineerCopy, Chibonacci 3 seconds time-lap.

EngineerIf

Carlos SAINZI'm not improving I box, and we change the rear right hand mark I think.

EngineerOK, understood. The measured loads look good.

EngineerAnd that was a good effort. So let's please have scenario 9, scenario 9 and yellow G8, yellow G8. We'll stay in recharge for the moment and halfway round the lap we will come out of recharge and do three consecutive laps.

EngineerOk, I don't know what Carlos was doing there, sorry for that

EngineerChecker we can do this cool and one more push just caution with Ricciardo, but he should be slow behind

Sergio PEREZYes,

Engineeryou can yes you can cool the rears try and keep front bulk

Daniel RICCIARDOOK, you're clear from traffic at the moment, so can we do an aero cruise after turn 9 please, so it will be aero P4 5th gear after turn 9. OK, yup.

EngineerAnd any balance feedback?

Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, so, start of the run didn't really feel much better, the high speed was still on the edge, but taking the wing off made the low speed more difficult, so I think the switch changes helped, more engine braking helped the low speed, and brake 3, that combination was better,

Engineerand

Daniel RICCIARDOit just felt like the tires became a bit

Engineereasier

Daniel RICCIARDOto manage the more I did the running, so by the end it was much closer to where it needed to be. Copy that.

EngineerAnd you pre-select Strat Mode 3.

EngineerValtteri, so that's P1.

EngineerSo suggesting a double charge lap. If you want to drive through for a flap adjust, please ask for that

EngineerLeclerc has just done 17.1. Valtteri is 17.3 on the soft tyre.

EngineerHamilton on a cool down, it is a 16.5 and Charles 17.1 I think I need a double cool down Position 3, multifunction mix, position 3 No way, I can make it with single Ok, copy

Lewis HAMILTONWhich area is going to be approved?

EngineerNot many areas to approve Lewis

Max VERSTAPPENUnbelievable, again that last skate.

EngineerMain places to improve turn 1, turn 4 braking and then turn 10, turn 12.

EngineerOkay, look out for Stroll now, starting a time-lapse. Yeah, I know. F*** him. He also f***ed my lap, so he can wait as well. F***.

EngineerYou okay?

George RUSSELLYeah, all good. Just lost it from nowhere.

EngineerSo red flag, red flag, no overtaking, keep the delta positive.

EngineerThanks

Valtteri BOTTASguys for getting us out for a couple of laps.
