Esteban OCONThe steering wheel is quite on the left side.

EngineerOK.

Esteban OCONRight side, sorry.

EngineerCopy.

Esteban OCONCan I stop pushing or?

EngineerI'd like you to do a quick in-lap, aero P4 5th gear after turn 7, so a quick but, you know, don't want to be flat out.

EngineerSo Lewis, we're seeing very high front brake temps. Can you just make sure you're off the brake pedal? We're seeing some residual brake pressure.

Lewis HAMILTONYeah, I'm off the brake. Yeah, I'm not on the brake, man.

EngineerOK, copy. We're seeing some residual brake pressure. It may be a sensor offset, but it looks like discs are actually climbing very high as well.

Lewis HAMILTONYeah, something's not right. I'll come in.

EngineerOK, so box-box.

EngineerIf you just cancel the magic, we'll come in without the magic on, just keep the B-Bow rearwards.

EngineerThe

Lewis HAMILTONcar feels like it's braking the whole time.

EngineerYeah, affirm, that's what we're seeing.

EngineerOkay, so box box box. We're going for cruisers out of seven and out of nine. I'll advise when you get there It'll be cruise mode two

Engineerthe other car has got an issue with brakes and try to get some temperature in the front brakes

EngineerWe're going to stop on your marks. There will be no pistol practice as we lost half the crew

Nicholas LATIFIThere's

Engineera

Nicholas LATIFIvibration on the left tire, I

Engineerdon't know if

Nicholas LATIFIthe tires aren't balanced It's a very small one

EngineerSmall one, copy, and you will have Wilhelm 2 exit of 14 Brakes are looking good, brakes are looking good I've seen your rear tire stamp, we need to drop them in the last sector Drop the rears in the last sector

EngineerOkay, so again, we can stay recharge off just to improve the pace a little bit

EngineerTry and sync here too if you can

EngineerOk, tyres are looking good, you can look at your dash, we are close to what we discussed.

EngineerSo the next push lap will be done without the RS, please.

Daniel RICCIARDOOK, I have a problem.

EngineerOK, understood.

EngineerScenario 12, Scenario 12 please.

EngineerSlow down we have a problem

EngineerOk Dani, we push again now, we push again now.

EngineerOK, so work the tyres on the outlap. Daniel is stopped between turns 9 and 11, halfway up the straight. He has managed to stop the car at a marshall post, so there is a gap that they can just push it through. It's currently double yellows there.

EngineerVSC, VSC.

EngineerOk Pietro, so very light on the brakes please, very light on the brakes, we just need to cool them down as much as we can Copy, copy So remember you need to stay positive on the delta time, positive on the delta time

Pietro FITTIPALDICan I go back to pushing or roll down the brakes?

EngineerLet's keep coasting to 11, please, and we'll review.

EngineerAny thoughts on balance?

Esteban OCONIt is still a bit loose, I would say, but it's used tyres.

EngineerCopy. Russell, two and a half seconds behind you, time lap.

Robert KUBICAI have D-rating before last corner and exit of the last corner.

EngineerWe need SOC 4, SOC 4.

EngineerThat's P3 Carlos, similar slow lap to last time, nice slow, slow lap.

Lando NORRISI'd oversteer into every single corner.

Carlos SAINZYeah, I prefer to cool the tyres than keep temperature. I worry about the brakes a little more. Time for one more lap, yeah?

EngineerTime for one more lap. For turn 11 and 14 try and release the brakes more to avoid pitching the car, more stability. Okay, next car is Verstappen on an out lap so you can manage the tyres through sector 3. Suggest a little bit of brake warm up before opening the lap, same as last time.

EngineerCheck on it on the next straight a bit of full throttle to charge

EngineerOkay Pietro, we need to drive around the box, we need to drive around the box So just follow the guy's instructions. Once you stop, we'll do a pre-start rev check, but just follow the guy's instructions driving around the box

EngineerThe last outlap we were probably a little bit lower on the fronts than we wanted. So far you're OK to let them cool.

EngineerSo we're happy with these tyre temps now to maintain these. The wind has picked back up to 10 kph, same direction, 10 kph wind.

EngineerTarget 0-0, good work on the brakes, so as expected a couple of cars went out in front, Stroll, Russell, bid exit Ok, you will be close to the pit, Stroll, Russell, bid exit, 0-0

EngineerSo currently a P6, Valtteri's lap time was a 39.6 on the hard tyre, he did have a mistake at turns 12 and 13.

EngineerI

Sergio PEREZhave loose belts.

Mick SCHUMACHERI have the thing from my glove that came off.

EngineerOkay, we should box then and we'll hand it over to someone and then you'll go again. So we need to box if you have that thing loose in your cockpit. Okay, you're in sync with the cars behind.

EngineerCarlos we see some loss of CLF in turn one exit looks similar in turn two and turn three. What do you think we should do? I think try and open L up suggest green shape two

EngineerCarlos, I suggest we box and we can prepare the car for high fuel. Lando opening a lap, 4 seconds.

Carlos SAINZWhat lap time did he do?

Engineer39.3, 39.35, he's P11.

Carlos SAINZI don't know, I had so much honesty.

EngineerDo you want to try one more lap with more flap angle or prepare the car for high fuel?

Carlos SAINZI think it's worth a try, just to see how the car feels.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerEngine 9, position 1. Engine 9, position 1.

Carlos SAINZWhat lap time did other people do in this compound?

EngineerStroll and Perez 38.8 Ocon 38.5 Raikkonen 39.2

EngineerOkay, so again, just think about working your fronts when you can.

EngineerIn this lap all the exits were very good. Except

Daniil KVYATturn 11 I think.

EngineerYeah, but 14 was good.

EngineerHow do your tyres feel Alex? Any vibration? No, all good.

EngineerOK, so feedback on that first lap was all good until maybe we were braked a bit deep into turn 8. So just think about looking at the exit at turn 9. The compromise looked a bit too much towards 8.

EngineerCheck if we think a bit more management in turn two and three.

Alexander ALBONJust massive torquals

EngineerOkay, understood so recharge on and I think we'll go for another double cool this time Okay, so Hamilton. Looks like I go out the corners and it's stuck there. Hamilton on your tail three behind watch your mirrors now

EngineerStrat Mode 10, Strat Mode 10, this is for a different deployment schedule

EngineerAnd Esteban, if the balance is significantly wrong in the first couple of laps, we'd be happy to do a pit stop to adjust.

Esteban OCONYep, understood.

Engineerso check we think we're quite fast we are fast you were nine tenths faster than Norris's first lap and your second and third lap were quicker than the two Mercedes on the hard

EngineerSo temperatures are coming down nicely now.

Daniil KVYATWhen I downshift to second between 5 and 6, there was a bit of grabbing, but just keep monitoring this in the next few laps.

EngineerCopy. We need a multi B12 position 3. Multi B12 position 3.

EngineerAnd with this set of tyres we will stay out for the start on the grid.

EngineerSo Norris and Ocon are only on lap three of their run but currently they're a lot slower than you. Your last lap Mercedes was only two tenths quicker.

Engineerand click the overtake now. Click overtake.

EngineerOK, and let's think about our time management now, Max. Lift off.

EngineerCheck out we think the double lift is best

EngineerSo in terms of pace, very similar to Valtteri, haven't got a target, not many other hard runners at the moment.

Max VERSTAPPENAh, I went a bit wide last corner.

EngineerCopy.

Charles LECLERCTell me every lap how many laps remaining, I want to drive things.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerJust watch for rear snaps out of turn 7 and turn 9.

Carlos SAINZAre they degrading much?

EngineerLodeg on Perez, lap 8, 143.8. Lando lap 5, 144.8.

EngineerAnd five laps to go.

EngineerOk Nicky, we're happy with what you're doing in time management, try a lift into 17 please, try a lift into 17.

EngineerWhat's the limitation Danny? In

Daniil KVYATfront overheating is lazy, not rotating. And traction Danny.

EngineerCopy that.

EngineerHow's the balance, Lance?

Lance STROLLIt's

Engineera

Lance STROLLbit on the under-zero side.

EngineerDiff mid 4. Suggest diff mid 4.

EngineerGet diff entry 4 for rotation. Diff entry 4. Now

Daniil KVYATthe balance is opening way too much. Entry instability now everywhere and then rush out.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerThe active gear went off Multibee 8, gearbox 5, let's revert when you can, Multibee 8, gearbox 5

EngineerVerstappen high fuel 1.4 behind. Try torque 9. Torque 9 when you can. More engine braking. Starting last timed lap. Last timed lap.

EngineerOk, only place we can do a little bit better with the rear spin is between 8 and 9, the next corner, between 8 and 9 we can do a little bit more for the rear tyres.

Pierre GASLYHow is the pace?

EngineerThe pace is very good, Danny 44.8, your pace 44.1.

EngineerOK and now cool the car please, cool the car and we are going round to the grid.

Alexander ALBONOK, still feels like, I don't know if it's crazy, but you know what the left hand is, we have so much on the steer

EngineerOK, understood

EngineerOkay so you will be the first car that gets around to the grid. Switches are good. We would like one burnout using the overtake button please. Click the overtake and one burnout and then we want to be on the left-hand side as far forward as you can please. Left-hand side as far forward as you can.

Pietro FITTIPALDICopy, should I go to mode slow now?

EngineerYep, you can go to mode slow now, yep. And just remember, you can't leave the grid box until the grid space in front of you is clear. And go as far as you can. Yeah, I got you. Cool.

Pietro FITTIPALDIOkay.

EngineerSo, from the left hand side, left hand side.

Pietro FITTIPALDILeft hand, okay.

EngineerOkay, good job, Mick. Good start. You can go to Mode Slow, Mode Slow, and then we'll do CSL 5, 5th gear.

EngineerBox now Mick box now practice pit stop hold brake pressure hold brake pressure in the stop

EngineerThat was a nice attack of the box there Lance, that was a good entry into the box

EngineerGood job mate, good first FP1
