70th Anniversary Grand Prix2020 · Practice 1 team radio

EngineerAnd just over 60 seconds to green light.

EngineerWind direction generally as predicted max, but it's quite low level.

EngineerStaying out, staying out, wind direction general Can I use DRS? Negative, do not use DRS

Daniil KVYATSomething is going on with my headrest. I can't lean my head in.

Esteban OCONCopy that.

EngineerStopping on the marks and going to P1 please.

EngineerOkay, you have Norris three ahead. We'll do CSL four, fourth gear, and then DRS check between five and six. You have Russell seven behind. Okay to push, okay to push, and you can go multi GX three, multi GX three, and we'll do the CSL four and DRS check.

EngineerSo steer at turns 3, 4, 6, 7 Tyre 7 Thank you Steer at turn 6, 7

Daniel RICCIARDOOkay, box. Box

Engineeris lapped, same procedure as last time, so you have to swing out into the fast lane please.

Lance STROLLRadio check, turn 9.

EngineerLoud and clear, turn 9. Take a gap from Ocon ahead. Take a gap from Ocon ahead or go by him. Multifunction A, orange. Multifunction A, orange.

EngineerAnd confirming we are boxed this lap.

Lando NORRISConfirmed.

EngineerAnd box now.

Lando NORRISLand the pitlane.

EngineerAnd once again, this will be stop on the marks for front wing adjust. And you can do a launch, so once in the pitlane, launch map on. It'll be second gear launch, and this time brace, brace.

Kimi RAIKKONENRight, you can see some or not at all. No,

Engineerno all okay at the moment

EngineerMode push

Engineerand win is headwind turn 10, headwind turn 10, low intensity and mode charge, mode charge

EngineerPlace to focus, place to focus, turn 13, apex.

Pierre GASLYTemperature targets?

Engineer0, 0

EngineerReminder to work on the brakes before the last sector, and it will be shape 3, charge off last corner. And reminder, in terms of high speed balance with this compound, it could be a bit difficult.

Alexander ALBONJust felt like the tires were gone around turn 12, turn 13

Carlos SAINZYeah, box for flap.

EngineerCopy. Carlos, how much would you like?

Carlos SAINZLet's try two turns up.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerAnd we need to improve exit turn 4, we lost a tenth there.

Charles LECLERCWe've got a snap, we'll take a pic.

EngineerAnd you can press select engine 6, engine 6.

EngineerRight toggle turn 16. Right toggle turn 16.

Valtteri BOTTASI'm on limpo mode. It doesn't say, but I have no power.

EngineerChecker 1 overlay, it was really just turn 6. If you push the entry a bit to turn 6 and then consider 1 gear lower at the apex.

EngineerAll good now. Three seconds.

Engineersnap in turn 15 it moves a little bit to tailwind but the wind there is not very strong

Alexander ALBONTo me it's also that the rays are just gone completely.

Nico HULKENBERGFeels like these tyres are not really going

Engineerwell.

Nico HULKENBERGStruggling to hang on a bit.

EngineerNico, just repeat that last message. It's bad

Nico HULKENBERGfor the tyres. I'm not sure a double cool, you know, feels like the tyres are going off a bit now. Even with a double cool.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerThe slow lap looks to be good enough on carcass temperature from what we've seen

Pierre GASLYI just see the front left is already a bit damaged just after two push-ups

EngineerTime to do one more time lap if you think you're gonna gain, but we'd have to do a fairly fast in lap afterwards Yeah, I just want to try one thing in sector one.

Carlos SAINZI will box if

EngineerIf

Carlos SAINZwe don't have time

Engineercopy

EngineerChecker 1 overlay, it was really just turn 6. If you push the entry a bit to turn 6 and then consider 1 gear lower at the apex.

EngineerOkay, recharge on, recharge on, and we'll box this lap.

EngineerSo that is five seconds. It'll be strut three and push the first two sectors

EngineerYou'll need to push on the inlet you'll need to keep pushing on the inlet

EngineerC8-2 is correct, 6th gear, turn 14 to turn 15.

George RUSSELLGap behind.

Engineer40 seconds, 4-0, you're all clear behind. Copy, might

George RUSSELLget the VLIM.

EngineerCopy. And then once we've done that VLIM then we can practice pit M3, stopping the box engine off. There's just under two minutes remaining.

EngineerNice lap dude, nice lap. You'll have Latifi pushing, Latifi 3 behind pushing, and more box at the end of this lap.

EngineerChecker 1 overlay, it was really just turn 6. If you push the entry a bit to turn 6 and then consider 1 gear lower at the apex.

EngineerThere's no traffic around, no traffic around. It should be clear at the beginning of the lap.

EngineerOK, copy, it always tends to be in that direction so another look may just be a dirty sensor.

Kevin MAGNUSSENQuite a big flat spot.

Romain GROSJEANOk, a couple of things, I completely lost power out of 17 for some reason

Engineerand

Romain GROSJEANpushed a bit too much the rear of the envelope

EngineerCopy that

Kimi RAIKKONENI have a lock from mid to exit in turn 9, I completely lost the front

Engineerend Ok, Ocon behind, pushing, 3 seconds, 2 seconds And after Ocon you're free

Kimi RAIKKONENIt's not pushing Ok,

Engineerfinished the lap, so we can see on the data the balance is quite rearward for us, we need to add 3-4 clicks of lap

Kimi RAIKKONENIt's not consistent, it comes from mid to exit We

Engineercan try to box, just adjust the flap to where we expect to be and try one more push, do you want to try that? Yeah Copy, box this flap then, no one pushing behind And

Kimi RAIKKONENcheck that the car is ok? Sure I hit some kerbs quite hard

EngineerBox box for flap adjust.

EngineerDo you want to do another push lap question? Yes please. Copy.

Max VERSTAPPENWait, can you tell me please when there is another car? I didn't see that Ferrari.

EngineerLeclerc was on a slow lap, I'm surprised he was travelling so quickly.

EngineerCarlos, could be interesting to try one more cool-down lap. Rear is still a little bit warm. Try one more cool-down lap, probably slightly faster on the second cool-down lap.

Carlos SAINZCopy, to get in phase with these guys also, yeah.

EngineerLet me know if there's somebody coming. No, no, I'll let you know. No one behind.

Engineerand we will need to do constant speeds so the first one will be out of turn 5 track is clear behind and we need FS2 fourth gear, FS2 fourth gear

Carlos SAINZEveryone on the near soft improved, right?

EngineerYeah Carlos, everyone's improved.

EngineerJust positive on your brakes as well just to wake the front axle up

EngineerAnd mode one, now mode one.

Engineertemperatures are now similar to the previous run you can keep pushing a little bit if you wish

Alexander ALBONYeah, it's just being a bit weird. A lot of understeer in 6th and 7th and then I almost crashed in 9th.

EngineerWe need the vlim, vlim 2 exit of turn 4 and vlim 3 into turn 9 please

EngineerOkay, so we suggest going two clicks forwards and offset to start the lap, so offset two clicks forwards.

Alexander ALBONI just want to try it because I don't have any feeling on the brakes.

EngineerOkay, understood. And we're suggesting... Okay, you can see temperatures, they're not too bad. Rear's a little bit warm, front's are in the window.

EngineerI'll be mode 3, mode 3, stop in the box and rev check please.

EngineerKeep using curbs.

EngineerWe need a bit of overtake exit turn 5, we are full, press and hold overtake please

EngineerWe'd like to start pushing on the outlap and let's have recharge off.

EngineerOK, so box, box, and we'll repeat the cruises, so it's cruise mode 2, 5th gear.

EngineerNicko we are happy with this level of management happy with this level of management same pace as Bottas at the moment

EngineerOk dude, good lap, good lap, anything we can help you with?

Romain GROSJEANJust turned 9 and 11-12 became a little bit on the edge, but the rest very good, I'm very happy with the car this morning.

EngineerSeneca to help the rears a bit of lift and coast into 3, 6 and 16, bit of lift and coast

EngineerWell, it looks like two laps ago turn 11 the sharp lift on throttle upset the rear axle. Aero looks normal up to that point

EngineerThe

Nicholas LATIFIcar feels quite unstable under braking, but I don't know if that's because of the temps or because of the test item.

EngineerCopy that, I think temps are okay, sense within 4. Am

Nicholas LATIFII okay to carry on pushing, or was that okay with the aero cruise?

EngineerYes, open the lap please, open the lap, Ocon pushing within 6, Ocon pushing within 6. Just take careful, take caution please, take caution.

Lando NORRISGetting quite a few vibrations from the rear tyres, I think they're blisters.

EngineerFront left is very hot at the moment Esteban.

Pierre GASLYI can see the rear left is just vulnerable left.

EngineerSo one more time, lap gap behind seven seconds if you want it.

EngineerI

Kimi RAIKKONENhave to complete the brake, it was all gone. Stopped.

EngineerOK, more charge, more charge, it will be tight. Yeah, you will not be able to complete a lap, but you can start a lap if you want.

Carlos SAINZYeah, the rear left is destroyed

George RUSSELLBig vibration with the front brakes into turn 16 then

EngineerAnd we stay out for the start on the grid, pre-select mode formation, mode formation

EngineerAnd we stay out for the start on the grid, pre-select mode formation, mode formation, and we will need one short burnout, one burnout, bite point and target 3 red.

Charles LECLERCLeft side or right side?

EngineerLeft side, left side, and try to be aggressive on throttle application.

Charles LECLERCSorry, bite point?

EngineerYes, bite point and target 3 red and try to be aggressive, throttle application.

Max VERSTAPPENHaha, I locked my rear tyres into the pits!

Max VERSTAPPENI already have a massive vibration on the left front, it's unbelievable.

EngineerUnderstood, thank you.
