EngineerMulti GX3, Multi GX3

EngineerOk Kimi, traffic is good, everything looks good so far, and nobody behind, mode push when you're ready.

EngineerOK, give me more charge and we will need a slow charge please.

EngineerOk, you can start to work a bit on your brakes, on the cold side. Traffic is still good.

EngineerThe

Kimi RAIKKONENonly issue is that they have a lot of vibration.

EngineerCopy that, you think.

EngineerManaged through 567, copy, that'll just be the beacon, so managed through 567, a lot more than last time

EngineerOkay, we'll take the slow lap, plus 40, 4-0, drop the rear, maintain the front, still quiet on track. So that first lap was two tenths behind Raikkonen, and two and a half tenths quicker than Nicholas.

George RUSSELLQuite oversteery turn four and then entry of six as well

EngineerMulti B, shift 4, shift 4

Lando NORRISBipon find, two

Engineerburnouts, second gear launch.

Carlos SAINZI cannot synchronize first gear, I don't know

EngineerCopy, no problem

EngineerCarlos, wind looks a bit stronger than P2, not as bad as P1.

EngineerI don't know what to say. Just watch for Keres coming past you now. Why

Romain GROSJEANam I having so much of a different looking issue now? Watch for Russell. Two behind. Watch for Russell.

Carlos SAINZYeah, a lot of snaps in mid-corner.

EngineerYeah, so the wind has changed quite a bit. There is now wind from the outside in turn 4 and more tailwind in the entry of turn 8. Suggest mid-toggle for turn 8 and turn 13. Mid-toggle turn 8 and 13, radio still open.

EngineerAlix will push at the end of this lap.

Max VERSTAPPENOK, bit of understood high speed.

EngineerUnderstood, and saw the D-rate at the end of the lap as well. Dab, engine 9, position 6 please, engine 9, position 6.

EngineerMain lost to Valtteri, minimum speed turn 8

Sebastian VETTELOkay, that was a waste with Russell, I don't know what the hell he was doing

EngineerHow is traction today? Low speed?

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, better. About a bit.

EngineerOkay we think you can brake five meters later into turn 13, that's what Daniel's doing, and into the last corner maybe rolling off a little bit too much speed going in there, otherwise all good.

EngineerJust remember,

Lewis HAMILTONthere's a bit of clay in my steering rack.

EngineerOkay, copy.

EngineerBox all right stay out stay out, please finish the lap

EngineerAnd cancel DRS please Max, cancel your DRS, cancel DRS.

EngineerSo Danny, turn 8, we can push slightly more at the entry, exit was good, and turn 13 the same, you are good to push, offset 7.

EngineerOK, Span, you're going to box to do a burnout from the box, using the overtake button, and then we'll do a start at the end of the pit lane. So I'm going to ask you to stop before the box please, stop before the box to put rubber through it.

Esteban OCONYou mean the burnout button?

EngineerYeah, use the burnout button, sorry, burnout button. Copy, yeah. Definitely overtake wouldn't be a good idea.

Sergio PEREZsimilar targets yeah

Engineerso we're okay to drop another five to eight degrees on the tyres so they're all happy to let these drop a bit

EngineerWe need three tire warming, overtake button and three tire warming Target is baseline minus two baseline minus two Mode three for the start

George RUSSELLRoll by me to reset brake balance, starting the lap.

EngineerOk Dani, we need to do a test, so you stop in the box, where the mechanics are waiting for you, we put the neutral, and you pull the clutch, and then I will let you know when release it.

Engineerokay that's a 9 10th game we'll take the slow lap plus 44.0 same again dropping rear let's get hpp on try and get some full throttle recharge and we'll do the brake warming out of turn 10.

George RUSSELLWas BVAL okay turn 9-10?

EngineerLet's get the brake warming done on the button

George RUSSELLSorry mate, I was focusing on the recharge, can I do it out of 11?

EngineerYep that's fine, and HPP off

EngineerSo currently a P1, Valtteri P2, one tenth behind. Valtteri had a tow starting his lap that bought him two tenths of a second.

EngineerAnd

Lewis HAMILTONwhere was I down then?

EngineerNote to Valtteri, you gained pretty much everywhere. Did I lose at the last corner or something? No, last corner looks good. Yeah, looks like you're gaining on the majority of the exits. Yeah, the only place that Valtteri's faster than you is just with that toe on that last lap. It was 0.14 gain to you. Maybe

Lewis HAMILTON10.11 could be better.

EngineerSo just do it with a little bit more PU load. If anything, it's a bit minimum speed, turn 6.

Lewis HAMILTONYep, cool.

EngineerCarlos, do you want continuous laps? If so, it would be Scenario 10, Scenario 10 and Sock 8.

EngineerAnd mode. Oh, I'm all up.

Charles LECLERCI'm all up.

EngineerMode charge. Mode charge.

Engineertires are pretty good it's just the brakes. I think our one ahead is going to pit so it's just Vettel. We will need a bit of brake temp checker. You were pretty marginal last time with only the one brake

Engineerand your temperatures will continue to drop so start the last lap you're about minus 3 minus 7 so that's where you were last time minus 3 minus 7 front and rear so just think about what you want to do differently this time

Daniil KVYATOk, I had a big moment, so, abort. Yeah, I went off track, but I didn't hit any kerb or anything, so it

Engineershould be ok.

Engineerokay clear behind the go

George RUSSELLswitch yep

Engineerwe can go yeah we want the velum out of turn three the velum two you can just stay and go race it's fine

EngineerWe're still happy to lose some tyre temp. How's the pace? We're currently P10, but 3 tenths, which is what you lost, would put you P5.

EngineerFeedback on clutch, on target.

Engineerrecharge on and cool the car please we are boxed this lap and feedback from Peter on target initial throttle good drive out good excellent job
