The session, message by message
EngineerThe
Alexander ALBONship's already burned.
EngineerShall
Alexander ALBONI keep going?
EngineerFail to fail. Fail to fail.
Max VERSTAPPENAgain, the volume is so low, it's incredible to hear you.
EngineerOK, copy.
Carlos SAINZI nearly crashed into this guy.
EngineerHe
Carlos SAINZwas doing burnouts in the pit lane. That's forbidden.
EngineerCarlos, burnouts in the pit lane should be allowed. Burnouts by point fines are allowed, just no starts.
Carlos SAINZYeah, but I nearly crashed.
EngineerYour purple is sector 3, still main loss we're seeing is turn 3. Probably
Lewis HAMILTONtoo deep in.
Alexander ALBONSomething's strange.
EngineerMore detail please, more detail.
Alexander ALBONJust a lot of fronts now, huge fronts, the car's really neutral mid-corner, in low speed and high speed. I think maybe we should take some clap off and go again.
Lance STROLLWhat was Otus doing? He was pitting anyways.
Carlos SAINZI think I lost the flap again guys, I'm so sorry.
EngineerCarlos, we need to box this lap then, box this lap.
EngineerThis first two laps are matching Leclerc at the moment in the same time.
EngineerOkay, dude, we have the track to ourselves at the minute. I'll keep you posted what's going on behind
EngineerGood lap dude, good lap. Ok, let's back off, we'll charge back up. What can we help you with?
Romain GROSJEANTurn 1 and 3. Rears.
EngineerUnderstood.
EngineerCooldown position is good
Max VERSTAPPENThere are so many, so much oversteer on entry.
EngineerUnderstood, thank you.
EngineerOk, we need a bit of full throttle if you can for the battery please.
EngineerSo Carlos, you're P3 with that lap. Most cars are on the medium tyre. Watch for Giovinazzi. Grosjean on hard has done a 7.8. The two Alfa Tauris are on hard as well, but no time yet.
EngineerThe
Romain GROSJEANcar is very inconsistent, those laps, I don't know where it's coming from.
EngineerOk, we'll look.
EngineerThe
Esteban OCONwind is big.
EngineerCopy.
EngineerGPS is not working fine for us, so be careful with the mirrors What
Charles LECLERCdid you say about the RS? The RS? I felt it, I felt it, yeah And
EngineerGPS is not working, so difficult for me for traffic
Kevin MAGNUSSENDo we have time for one more time?
EngineerYes. Yeah, go for it. Okay to push so remember mode push
EngineerWell, do we have time for one more? Yes, we do. Yeah, then I'll take one more.
EngineerOkay, I'll try and get the VLM sweep, VLM 2 out of turn 1 I can't get over VLM, it's not possible. VLM out of 3? If you can, VLM 3 out of 3 if you can
Engineermy shifting isn't working, I can't shift the gear
Sergio PEREZClose apiece.
EngineerSo check it, you're two tenths quicker than Lance, matching Verstappen.
Lance STROLLCan't get a clean lap. I'm losing grip in the tires.
EngineerCheck the brake system, that was very strange. Ok, we'll look, we'll look. Looks ok, looks ok. That was very weird looking.
EngineerOK Esteban, remember to use the brakes firmly on the outlap, track will be clear behind. Fastest hard tyre car was Sainz on 5.9.
EngineerAnd let's have 100% pace, 100% pace.
EngineerVerstappen set his time on his third push lap
EngineerSo, Esteban, it's sector one and sector three where we're losing about a tenth compared to science.
EngineerGo cool, go cool, target plus 30, plus 30.
Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, I struggled with the front and the the high speed
EngineerOkay understood just a reminder that you can use that front left modifier again
EngineerRecharge on. I
Max VERSTAPPENhave massive understeer, can I box?
EngineerYeah, box this lap.
Max VERSTAPPENOk, doesn't make sense to continue.
EngineerAnd strat 7, strat 7.
Max VERSTAPPENAfter turn 7 suddenly I have massive understeer, so maybe check the front wing or something?
EngineerCopy, so box this lap.
EngineerSo to Valtteri, just a little bit of time to find late entry turn 1, and a little bit late entry turn 3, but I think that may have been traffic.
EngineerHow many
Kimi RAIKKONENlaps have we done?
EngineerWe have done six time laps. We
Kimi RAIKKONENneed these tires off too soon? Yes, yes. Well, we can start with it on the long run or we change it? No, no, we will start with this one for the long run. I'd like to try it one more lap, just to figure it out.
EngineerOK, fine, fine.
Kimi RAIKKONENIf it's not good, I come in.
EngineerCopy, copy, you can do it. So, mode push then. Watch for if it goes behind.
EngineerDouble cool down you want to go for two cooldowns? Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's good
EngineerSo high-speed, it looks front sliding more than rear.
Engineerand if you can go strat mode 14, 14.
Lewis HAMILTON14.
EngineerAffirm
Daniil KVYATI hear some strange noise in the turbine, just for you to check.
EngineerYeah, we are looking Danny.
George RUSSELLI've got a bit of flow vis on my visor, I'll take a tear off when I box, if somebody can be there to collect him. Yeah, copy, just do it before you stop. What do you mean?
EngineerYou're not going to let it go in the pit lane, you're going to hand it over, eh? Yeah, scraped. Alright, copy that. Alright, bottom's within three.
EngineerAnd watch for gravel between turns six and seven wherever stop and came back on track
EngineerEngine 12, engine 1-2, position 3, position 3.
EngineerCharles Laptine 9.7
George RUSSELLI have abort launch on the dash.
EngineerCopy that. I'm going to leave the front wing then. I haven't heard otherwise. It will be okay to pull away.
EngineerYeah,
Kimi RAIKKONENstill a freckling in the last corner.
EngineerCopy that, yeah, some oversteer there.
Alexander ALBONIt's too neutral, take away two clicks.
EngineerCopy.
Nicholas LATIFIDo I use DRS to defend or no?
EngineerNegative
Charles LECLERCMaybe check quickly the handflakes, because Seb took off at
Engineerthe rough. Yeah,
Charles LECLERCexactly. And
Engineertarget just went right.
EngineerI go for the off-wing. Need a bit more front wing. OK, understood.
EngineerAnd boost off. Boost off.
EngineerAnd also PU7, position 8 please. PU7, position 8.
EngineerAnd target lap time 8.6
EngineerThis pace is very strong if it's going more towards oversteer consider a click forward and brake bounce
EngineerEngine 14, position 2. Engine 14, position 2.
EngineerVery good lap Esteban, let's see if we can maintain this pace.
Pierre GASLYI'm losing brake efficiency
EngineerOk we are looking, keep us posted, we had a big front lock in turn 1
EngineerStarting last timed lap, starting last timed lap.
Engineerand we need secondary FC position 8 FC position 8
EngineerOkay, so we're going back round to the grid mix. So cool the car for the moment. Cool the car.
EngineerIt's mocking a bit on the front line. We're ok, don't hang on too much. Mode 3.
Engineerokay again back to the lab one burn out on the exit of turn 10 please one burn out exit turn 10 and try to sync gear one sync gear one and again we will aim for the left-hand side please left-hand side of the grid and a gear one launch
EngineerAnd cool the car as much as possible, please.
EngineerAnd clutch position was deep, 4%.
EngineerThis is pit stop practice and engine off. Apply the brakes during the stop, engine off.
