Engineerand focus on tires and brakes tires and brakes plus five plus five
Romain GROSJEANhelp you with um just high speed mate it's uh understeery but also i don't know since this morning it just doesn't quite feel the same but uh let's see on the next lap be okay
Engineerokay big big issues turn nine I don't what's going on yeah we saw the snap we saw the snap we'll have a look
Kevin MAGNUSSENThe rear tires are super hot. Okay, yeah, it's just not possible to get them cooled down, is it? Not even with the second lap.
EngineerAnd if possible can we do an aero cruise after turn 14 please? So aero P4 50 gear, aero P4 50 gear.
EngineerGood time there Esteban, you're currently P4, 27.57, you are pink in sector 3.
EngineerAll cars behind you are on slow or outlaps.
EngineerAnd we need to improve into turn six.
EngineerWe're still happy to cool the tires a bit more a little bit more full throttle because you still got a bit of charging to do
EngineerAnd mode charge, mode charge.
EngineerHow's the balance Alex? How's the balance?
Alexander ALBONIt's pretty good Yeah, it's nice hold on better the high speeds. There's this of that dropouts with the rear Just a little bit about the seats out of that.
EngineerOkay, understood
EngineerAnd happy to go for another cool down and we'll want some more brake warm-up, please
EngineerOK, that's the P1, just 6 one-thousandths to Valtteri P2. In terms of sectors, it's just two hundredths down sector 1, up two hundredths in the middle, and then practically zero in the middle.
EngineerSo we will still no one behind to worry about. First car Verstappen 47 on a slow lap. So we will open this lap happy to complete or bail as you see fit.
EngineerCarlos Lando looks less front limited in turn 15. That allows him to carry a little more apex speed and he carries a little more entry speed to 13, which gains a bit of time. Yeah, low speed looks okay.
Lando NORRISLanded
Engineerin
Lando NORRISthe lane. I got a bit of the steering wobble, like we used to have.
EngineerOkay, understood. I'd like a bite point find, please. And then possibly stop on the marks, just be careful, Carlos currently in the box. In fact, try and stop in front of Carlos, that's in front of our garage.
EngineerHow was the balance?
Daniel RICCIARDOYup, yeah that was a good step better I think where we expected it
EngineerI
Daniel RICCIARDOdid feel that, so that was positive
EngineerOk, understood, so Nico
EngineerOk, still some time to gain, turn 9 and exit of turn 15.
Daniel RICCIARDOYep, understood.
EngineerAnd there's also a bit in braking for turn 6. Braking point is good, but it's just slowing the car down a bit more.
EngineerI guess 13 and 14 wasn't great. Yeah, a bit
Valtteri BOTTASof race lighting and tyres dropping more in the last couple of corners.
EngineerOk James, good luck.
Romain GROSJEANNah, big washout in 15. I need some help. It doesn't do the same as this morning guys, it just doesn't do the same. So have a look on everything you can because it doesn't do the same.
EngineerOk.
EngineerOkay, Daniel, so just for your reference, so lap time of that last lap was deleted for running wide turn 9.
Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, yeah, that was, I was completely off the track, so that's clear. Cheers.
EngineerOk, take care of these tires for the next push.
EngineerCarlos, do you want one more attempt on this tyre?
Carlos SAINZI don't know. Traffic again. The whole lap, so...
EngineerCarlos, I think the most useful thing is to save the tyre and try and learn for the long run learn how the temperatures affect the tyres in the long run.
Romain GROSJEANOkay, we've been looking at those snaps. Yeah, we had the brake balance adjust the real woods. My
Engineerbad.
Romain GROSJEANI'll stop doing it. It's too tricky
Carlos SAINZYeah, I think I could have gone a couple of tenths quicker, but okay.
EngineerKeep it in the pocket for tomorrow Carlos, keep it in the pocket.
Nicholas LATIFII don't know why that lap was so slow, it didn't feel bad
EngineerOk Nicky, understood First sector we lost 2 tenths, second and third sector we improved 4 in 4 relative to George, we lose first sector 2.5 tenths And sector 2 is ok, sector 3 1 tenths So you're in sync with the cars around you
Nicholas LATIFISo just in general the calling is not a big step
EngineerWith
Nicholas LATIFIthat I'll
Engineerstop in 9 and 11
Alexander ALBONDo you want minus five or zero?
EngineerLet's go minus five, minus five please if you can.
Daniil KVYATOkay, too much rear deck
EngineerCopy Danny, copy
EngineerAnd currently you're at P3 with this lap time OK,
Daniel RICCIARDOwe'll just do the same in 24 hours
EngineerYes please
EngineerSo I know you had a moment into turn three, they're our biggest losses turn three and four at the moment
Carlos SAINZThis is the two time used.
EngineerCarlos, this is the second set, second set.
Carlos SAINZSo the good time.
EngineerYeah, this is the better one and sock eight, sock eight.
EngineerYou've done a good job in your temperatures. They're not gonna be too bad
Audio only, no transcript
EngineerYou've done a good job in your temperatures, you've done a good job in your temperatures, they're not going to be too bad.
EngineerMode race, clutch situation, K2 on and start.
EngineerPlan is to do two free laps and then will be start two.
Nico HULKENBERGFeels like front left getting hard time, but surprisingly actually low speed with a bit of understeer in the car.
EngineerCopy that Nico, understood. You've done the right thing on the switches, that should help a bit, obviously there's a bit of a traffic effect as well.
Carlos SAINZI just opened the blister right now, just turned the CD. Copy.
Nico HULKENBERGI don't know if it's the seat or something is moving at the back of my seat or
Engineermaybe the seat is a bit loose
EngineerAnd we need secondary WG position 1, WG position 1 when you can.
EngineerWe were tyre saving 5 until now, tyre saving 5 until now we were...
EngineerSuggest orange E7, orange E7.
EngineerCarlos, how's the front wing? Front wing?
Carlos SAINZIt's okay.
EngineerCarlos, we're happy to box if you've got what you need. Happy to box?
Carlos SAINZYeah, copy.
EngineerBox then, box.
EngineerCarlos, try the Ricciardo approach in turn 16.
Carlos SAINZPush 16 a lot, yeah?
EngineerCorrect, yeah.
Daniel RICCIARDOBit of a dig on the front at the moment.
EngineerOk, unlisted.
EngineerIf it's R5, we'll box this lap, box this lap.
Lando NORRISYeah, it's getting really bad.
EngineerUnderstood.
EngineerIf it's R5, we'll box this lap, box this lap.
Lando NORRISYeah, it's getting really bad.
EngineerUnderstood. If it's R5, we'll box this lap, box this lap.
Lando NORRISYeah, it's getting really bad.
EngineerUnderstood. And box now, box now, stay right at Ballard.
Lando NORRISStandby for lane. What do you want me to do different? I was just driving slowly then and I still got it, so do
Engineeryou want me to just push a lot more or what? Yeah, standby. Standby, brakes when you come to a stop.
Romain GROSJEANOkay dude, we're far too understeery here, so yeah, we will adjust later.
Engineerso we've seen the vibrations on data but they're still safe so box now box
Engineerare you okay are you okay yeah but that is that is not acceptable from a formula one car okay understood just watch where i can't see it oh
Romain GROSJEANokay um yeah
Engineeri'll check what it was
Daniil KVYATI don't understand what he was doing to be honest, but anyway, I hope he enjoyed it.
EngineerOh see this, can't continue, see this loose, see this loose mate, come
Nico HULKENBERGproperly loose now
EngineerHow is the balance now?
Romain GROSJEANQuite neutral, the left hand side is gone but it has balanced the car.
Carlos SAINZNow that's it, it's
Engineerclear start. Copy, copy, box.
Lando NORRISI'm like pace 20, so if you want me to push more, just let me know.
EngineerIf you've got mid-corner understate, think about B-Bowl 4. If you've got mid-corner understate, think about B-Bowl 4.
EngineerOkay Alex, on the next lap, the next lap, just think about breathing a little bit on the left-hand side tyres, just keep the peaks down on temperatures, just have a think.
EngineerUnderstood, Lando. Let's do 100% pace, please. 100% pace.
Sebastian VETTELEngine failure.
Sebastian VETTELOk, big failure at the back of the car, probably either
Engineerit's engine or gearbox but something went in the drivetrain and didn't feel right. Yeah, understood.
EngineerHow are the tyres? Alex, how are the tyres?
Alexander ALBONOK, it's just sliding everywhere on the rear. They're just stabilising now.
EngineerOK, so there's possible oil, or reports of oil, definitely turn 7 to turn 9. Vettel's engine has fallen out of the bottom of the car, so turn 7 to turn 9, oil.
Engineerand multifunction tire 14 when you can, tire 1-4 when you can
Engineerand red flag stay positive red flag stay positive
