British Grand Prix2020 · Practice 3 team radio

EngineerOkay, Gasly 8 ahead, no one behind. We'll do CSL 4, 4th gear and then DRS check. And Multi GX3, go to Multi GX3, CSL 4 and DRS check.

EngineerAnd box, box, down in box.

Pierre GASLYOk, I had a really slow upshift and when I came to the pit entry I braked, the engine braking was a bit strange, a bit more negative torque than usually. Yeah, we can see that, we are having a look.

EngineerOK, good for me too, so remember to put some heat on your brakes.

EngineerLeft over for turn 3.

EngineerOk Kimi, you have nobody behind, so mode push when you're ready.

EngineerTrack is clear, you can push.

EngineerSo with this wind there is a slight headwind turn three to four change of direction get the rotation done there because then you immediately turn into the tailwind.

Engineerand reasonable pace on this out lap remember this is the medium and we need to get it warm especially warm front right

EngineerThe shine is on new medium 28.5, first time lap.

EngineerTrack is clear, you can push.

EngineerTailwind turn one

EngineerOk Kimi, more charge and let me know if you want to box this lap or if you want to keep going.

Lando NORRISWas there anywhere Carlos had some big oversteers or anything to look out for?

EngineerGenerally, he was okay. A little bit of understeer into turn 9 and turn 13.

EngineerOkay to charge and still clear from behind, people in front on an outlap, Ocon and Charles in front of you

EngineerOcon 9 seconds on an outlap in front, Ocon on softs.

Lewis HAMILTONVibration these tires, yeah quite a big vibration

EngineerCarlos, suggest Orange Talk 4 whole lap. Orange Talk 4 whole lap.

Engineerand it will be mode push for last corner, mode push

EngineerWe don't need to be too slow in this outlap, we lost a bit of time with the install

EngineerOK Roman, so there's a 7 second gap behind the gas and he's in sync if you need to make space.

Romain GROSJEANYeah I need to warm the tyres up so if he would let me by it would be very very kind of him, he's on soft.

EngineerAnd reminder on the wind for turn 7 It's very gusty

EngineerSo Carlos, overall we're a little bit ahead of Lando. Turn 3-4 we lose nearly a tenth. Just possibly pushing a bit too far with the entry stability.

EngineerAnd how was the balance?

Daniel RICCIARDOIt wasn't too bad

EngineerThey

Daniel RICCIARDOgot probably the fronts a bit more ready to start a lap, but generally not too bad

EngineerCarlos, do you want one more go, or are these tyres on the way out?

Carlos SAINZThey're on the way out, but I want to try, I think, in turn 1 and turn 3 and 4, and then maybe box if I'm not improving.

EngineerCopy, no problem. Try to cool the rears if you can on this cool-down lap.

EngineerSo good improvement, sectors 2 and 3 are purple in those, so still P1.

Engineerand what you did with throttle that time was good remember that

Antonio GIOVINAZZIGo on again. Is all ok with the car? Yeah, go for it. I cannot brake, I lose completely rear and end of the brake.

EngineerSo Valtteri's just gone P1 by 4 hundredths, some of that straight line speed, but mainly minimum speed turn 4, that's the only real loss in corners.

EngineerSo Audrey, that was 22R to the front, similar to the last one yesterday.

EngineerSo let's start from the box, front wing adjust and go again.

Nico HULKENBERGThat arrow needs to be 50 meters earlier, so Towards pit entry or 50 70 meters too close to the box

EngineerYeah, understood track clear understood track clear boxes lap box box pick confirm

Engineerand BB-1, BB-1

EngineerOkay, if we go recharge off max and boost on now, recharge off, boost on now, let's have full load to turn 6, full throttle turn 6 please.

EngineerOkay, that's two tenths now behind Lewis. Same lap time as Bottas. We think he may have increased PU performance for that lap. Purple sector one, matching Lewis just under a tenth in sector two and still a couple of tenths in sector three.

EngineerK2 charge and clear from behind, and engine 4.

EngineerCarlos, purple C2 position 8. Purple C2 position 8. And default 8 alpha. Default 8 alpha.

EngineerSo, P1 Hamilton, 26.3, yourself P4, 26.7.

EngineerSo let's have scenario 6. Scenario 6 and SOC 4. SOC 4.

EngineerSorry Carlos, there's a little bit to find in turn 12. Lando carrying a bit more speed in turn 12 and then not losing out in 13. There's probably half a tenth, maybe a bit more there. Let's say there's nearly a tenth in 12.13 and half a tenth in 15. Rest of the lap looks good.

Carlos SAINZWhat was his lap time?

EngineerLando, 26.8.

EngineerOK, Hamilton coming alongside you, looks like he aborted his lap, so he's in phase, Gasly ahead out lap.

EngineerHave a couple of deep breaths, get focused, and you've got a clear track. Track is clear.

EngineerSpoutry has just gone P1 with a 25.8, compared to Sector's main time game for him is in the middle.

EngineerOkay, just remember to give your brakes a bit of a wolf in the last sector.

Sebastian VETTELOk, there's something loose again, down at the brake pedal.

EngineerOk, understood, box.

EngineerCan you just remind me, is it scenario 8 for the next lap? Scenario 8 please, scenario 8.

Max VERSTAPPENI had some weird like shattering feeling on the left front. It was really odd.

EngineerWhich corners?

Max VERSTAPPENVery high speed corners.

EngineerUnderstood, thank you. We'll have a look.

EngineerHow was the balance Alex?

Alexander ALBONIt was okay, just quite a lot of understeer in some high speed corners.

EngineerOkay, understood.

EngineerOkay, engine 5, position 2, engine 5, position 2, okay, and engine 12, position 6, engine 1, 2, position 6, still 15 seconds gap behind you, so engine 1, 2, position 6 please.

EngineerRecharge on please recharge on and when you get back stop in the box and switch off So it's gonna be a fast carriage turnaround for us So I'll get your comments, please on front wing. How much would you like to add?

EngineerThe car's wind may have picked up a bit. Obviously there's a bit more following, but I think there may be a bit more wind as well.

Max VERSTAPPENI have the same again, I have no real grip left.

EngineerOk, understood.

EngineerOk Dani, suggestion is to stay in entry 6 for the entire lap, engine brake in 10 for the entire lap.

EngineerSuggest red mid 5, red mid 5.

EngineerAnd BB-2, BB-2 as a test, and we could stay out, we can stay out, two laps, I think it's better to take laps.

Sebastian VETTELOK, copy that.

EngineerIf

Kimi RAIKKONENwe cannot get our auger out of the way in the last corner. Yeah, I see it. It's

Engineera

Kimi RAIKKONENstupidity.

EngineerSo Lance 26.6, you 26.8, mainly sector 3, mainly sector 3, less than a tenth in other two sectors total.

EngineerSo let's pick up a bit get your tires going and it'll be recharge off recharge off and you are good to go

Romain GROSJEANI had

Engineera

Romain GROSJEANcouple of issues, completely lost the brake pedal twice in a row in turn 13 I don't know if it's a knock-on or whatever but if you can have a look

Engineeryeah we'll double check that

Romain GROSJEANit's absolutely fine in 15 but just when I press it in 13 it's dead

Pierre GASLYCan I go for six?

EngineerYes. Yes, you can

EngineerOkay Alex, so we're going to do a practice pit stop now, so get focused. Box, Alex, box.

EngineerOkay, so nice and sharp, hit the marks.
