Eifel Grand Prix2020 · Practice 3 team radio

EngineerOk, let's go. And radio check pit exit.

EngineerOK, I'll turn it off.

EngineerAnd track is clear, stay right of line.

EngineerAh, turn

Romain GROSJEAN11, brake pedal is quite soft, so just check it's OK on your side

EngineerPedal looks OK

Romain GROSJEANAh, missed the chicane, 213

EngineerUnderstood, understood, and loud and clear, go BC3 when you can

EngineerSo 3 burnouts and 2nd gear start please, 3 burnouts, 2nd gear start.

EngineerIt will be mode race for last corner mode race

Carlos SAINZI don't know if the tyres are not working or we are overbalanced. Not sure. Copy.

EngineerWatch for Leclerc. He's still three seconds behind. Let's try and keep temperature in the tyres. Tyre temperatures should be OK.

EngineerMax, thoughts on one or two consecutive laps from here on in? Well,

Max VERSTAPPENthe rear tyres already started to drop a bit, so GC2 makes sure the fronts are working.

EngineerYou're ahead of Gasly now. No, I just overtook him because he f***ed my lap. That's fair play.

EngineerAnd Reikon and Laptime behind, 34.4, also medium compound.

Carlos SAINZWho is on the soft?

EngineerOcon and Perez both are quicker than you they are on soft and then Ricciardo and Kvyat on soft

EngineerObviously things are evolving pretty quickly, that's still P1 at the moment, 28.8, 1.3 ahead of Alex. He's slightly out of phase with him. We'll set ourselves up for one further time lap Max, if you're happy to stay out.

Max VERSTAPPENYep.

EngineerOk Kimi, we can do two more laps, two more laps. You have to speak more loud, you have to speak more loud. Yeah, yeah I'm shouting, oil button, oil button.

EngineerOkay, so recharge on again, recharge on. That's put your P2 on a 29.9. The stop and quick is 28.9. Standout places for us, turn 1 braking, turn 5 apex speed and turn 13, 14 speed through both of that combination.

Carlos SAINZWhere are we?

EngineerSo Carlos your last two laps have been deleted the aborted one and the last one so currently P7 Why? Turn 4 both times turn 4 The last lap should have been also P7 just much closer currently P1 is Verstappen 128.6 P2 Perez 129.4

George RUSSELLCan I push brake balance forward? Rear lock in turn 13.

EngineerCopy, one up on the nudger.

Sebastian VETTELOkay, cuz right

EngineerOK, recharge on, recharge on, that got you back in P2 again, 29.3, the staff is still quick, it's on a 28.6, OK, two neutral in low speed, how is high speed balance? It's fine, if

Alexander ALBONanything it's slightly under speed, probably because of the front lockings as well.

EngineerOK, understood, main loss on that last lap, turn 4, apex speed, turn 1 was good that time, turn 4, apex speed, and again a little bit of carrying speed through 13.14.

EngineerCarlos also something to gain turn four, so give up a little bit more turn three and set up turn four a little bit more

Engineerif you go strap mode seven strap mode seven uh valtteri's best lap so far 30.9

Lewis HAMILTONis that consistent laps i'm trying to go for classes now lewis

Engineeris bouncing around a bit his lap time so it was with drs to start the lap though just looking at main losses mid-speed turn turn five

EngineerOK, box this lad please Max, keep up the pace on the wind, continue to push.

Lando NORRISCan you get some hand warmers or something cuz my hands are freezing. Yeah, understood

EngineerWe

Pierre GASLYneed to do something for the chicane, it's wrecking it flat there.

Valtteri BOTTASGreat way to waste time-lapse. Copy that.

EngineerBox, box, box.

EngineerSo just single bike point find and then race start into pit lane.

EngineerAnd push dog on turn 10-11, push dog on turn 10-11.

EngineerLet's talk about

Lewis HAMILTONDAS too.

EngineerOkay, copy.

EngineerAnd clutch position was on target.

EngineerThis is in lap Dani, this is in lap. We need the torque.

Daniil KVYATRepeat.

EngineerTorque 1, mode 7. Torque 1, mode 7.

Romain GROSJEANIt's a beautiful truck mate.

EngineerNice.

EngineerOk Kimi, you have no traffic behind, how is the radio now?

Kimi RAIKKONENYeah man, normal. Copy.

Engineerand Lando tyre temperatures still a little on the low side so just be careful in the first corners

EngineerCarlos consider the left hand toggle for rotation in turn 10 and 11 left hand toggle for rotation turn 10 and 11

EngineerAnd scenario four, scenario four.

EngineerTime loss to Kimi breaking turn 3 and breaking turn 6.

Lando NORRISI still have way too much understeer in turn 5 and turn

Engineer10. Would you like a fronting adjust?

Lando NORRISNo, I think it's fine. I think it's just because I'm bottoming massively.

EngineerOK, understood. We'll take a look in the data.

EngineerJust a wet kerb, wasn't it? Yeah, wet to save at least. Yeah,

George RUSSELLthere shouldn't be any damage.

EngineerI'm not sure what Hamilton's doing ahead of you. Well, I know what he's doing, but I'm not sure why he's doing it.

Alexander ALBONWell, we have too much to do now.

EngineerOkay, understood.

EngineerAnd let us know if you think the tyres were too cold starting the lap? Yeah,

Valtteri BOTTASstarting the lap they were not ready, after sector 1 it was ok

EngineerOK Kevin, so we'll box now, box. We don't have time for sustained running but that's OK, we got some data from the other car.

Max VERSTAPPENMy time was already green on the other understood

EngineerOkay Kevin, so we'll box now, box. We don't have time for sustained running but that's okay, we got some data from the other car.

EngineerOK, we've got a bit to tidy up in turn 2-3, rest of the lap's pretty good mate. Do you want another go on this set or do you want a balance change?

Alexander ALBONI want a balance change.

EngineerOK, we will box this lap then and end the run.

Alexander ALBONAre people improving on the third push?

EngineerIt's limited, it's all pretty similar to be honest, it's either first or second push.

Alexander ALBONOK, let's box. OK,

Engineerunderstood. Everybody behind you is slowed.

EngineerMultibe white, charge, position nine, multibe white, charge, position nine, for stay balanced, let me know for flap angle

Sebastian VETTELYeah we can drop, but I wouldn't drop as much as we had in the run before, so something like half way

Charles LECLERCI would like to change a little bit the car, to put a bit more front, so maybe we can stop earlier.

EngineerIt is two tenths slower than Kvyat and two tenths quicker than Magnussen, three tenths quicker than Räikkönen. Philem out of turn 11, we've got a Renault who just left the pit lane behind you. Are you thinking of any big changes or are we reasonably happy?

George RUSSELLWe're reasonably happy.

EngineerCopy. So Philem out of turn 2, Philem out of turn 11, it's Philem 2, it's clear behind, 4 seconds to Ricciardo. And then we can practice pit entry, step in the box for a quali-style turnaround. OK, over to you.

EngineerOk, main difference to Danny is turn 7. Slightly different line. Danny is carrying a bit more entry speed and losing on exit. Overall it's ISO. And we are gaining overall in turn 4, but Danny has a slightly better exit, turn 4 exit. Hamilton push lap turn 5. Which brake shape did I use in the last lap? Watch your mirrors for Hamilton coming now. Was the correct one, was the correct one. Engine 13, position 5. Engine 13, position 5. Position is very good. We go for one more push. And you kept the toggle on for the very last corner. We think we can take it off after the chicane. Back to entry 6, and it will be shape 3 before the lap. Ok, position is good. Next car behind is in turn 10. Shape 3, shape 3, charge off last corner.

EngineerGood lap, good lap.

Romain GROSJEANBit of traffic, eh? Yep.

EngineerSo science behind is in sync with you. So in sync with all those cars behind you.

EngineerDefault 9 Delta X. Default 9 Delta X. That's 9 on the left, 13 on the right.

Carlos SAINZRepeat.

EngineerDefault 9 Delta X. Default 9 Delta X. 9 on the left, 13 on the right, then X.

EngineerOK, Bottas, second set, 26.2, 26.2.

EngineerYellows, last corner yellows

EngineerOkay, we've got double yellows at 15, double yellows 15.

EngineerSo yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, double yellow, final corner, no overtaking, got car parked in the middle of the track.

Max VERSTAPPENAh mate, the same,

Engineerme

Max VERSTAPPENtoo. This is have no phone, good.

EngineerOk, understood.

Lewis HAMILTONHow's

Engineerthe

Lewis HAMILTONmiddle sector?

EngineerMiddle sector just down six hundredths, it's braking and mid speed turn five, also turn seven braking.

EngineerI'm

Esteban OCONhaving some little surge out of some corners. Copy

Engineerthat Esteban, copy that.

Max VERSTAPPENWait, you have to tell me what's happening behind the glare that I can position myself better.

EngineerWhat were your thoughts of the tyres at Turn 1, Max? Yeah, Turn 1 is all good, but

Max VERSTAPPENafter that I'm just massively understeering.

Romain GROSJEANI've got some issue with the left pedal. I don't know if it's knock-on or what, but it went completely to the floor in there.

EngineerOK, we'll look, we'll look. We'll just watch Ricciardo 4 behind, high fuel.

Charles LECLERCWas that Carlos or Lando?

EngineerLando

Daniel RICCIARDODo you want me to box this lap, or stay out?

EngineerLet's keep pushing, let's keep pushing.

Engineerso check it you can go back to go one to attack the pit entry and we'll be doing another pit stop so go one to attack the pit entry
