The session, message by message
EngineerOkay right and using DRS again so you'll have to sync the gears manually
EngineerMore push, more push.
EngineerAnd then it will be recharged.
Charles LECLERCI got quite a big flat spot.
EngineerOk, Kimi, mode charge on the line, and again, single charge should be enough.
Carlos SAINZYeah, I don't know why the tires feel very different to last week and in turn 1. They feel very cold. I will push again.
EngineerUnderstood.
EngineerSo second gear again, and tyre 5, tyre 5, b-bar 6, b-bar 6.
EngineerAnd we've had a couple of lights deleted for track limits turn 10.
EngineerAnd tyre 5 please. Tyre 5.
EngineerSo Daniel, that was another good step, that lap. I think turn four we didn't quite get what we wanted. Still need to maximise more phase one and release, whereas that lap you were more like peak and then a bit more the triangular brake shape.
EngineerHow was the balance on that first time lap on this tyre?
Max VERSTAPPENYeah, not too bad. I think I felt quite okay.
EngineerSo for the next push, focus turn 6, 7 and 9.
Callum ILOTTWhat do you want me to focus on in 5, 6, 7, 9? The exits, or...? So
Engineertry to carry a bit more speeds out. OK, copy.
Kimi RAIKKONENThat's the way
Engineerit
Kimi RAIKKONENis.
EngineerAce Valtteri at 9.8 last lap
Roy NISSANYand exit
Engineerfree if you can it's feeling free so feeling free that's 246th gear and again DRS off for two seconds then DRS on
Yuki TSUNODAFast peak corner was way better, was much better
EngineerCopy that
Yuki TSUNODAShall we try to add one more step of the entry stability in fast peak corner?
EngineerCopy, straight 7, straight 7
EngineerI'll come behind. I'm not sure what he was up to to be honest.
EngineerSo on that last lap we need to brake later turn three and definitely turn four Possibly even a bit turn one. I guess the time maybe didn't quite feel ready. Hopefully on another attempt. It'll be okay
Pierre GASLYHow is the wind? I keep losing the car in turn 9.
EngineerOk, we check. Wind is very, very low. It's not the wind.
EngineerIf you would like a flap adjust we could come through the pits and do one? Yeah we could come up a little bit, half a degree.
Nicholas LATIFII just felt something at the back of my heel, like a stone or something maybe when I braked.
Charles LECLERCI'm struggling like crazy in the first corner.
EngineerOk, how was the balance of that lap?
ZHOU GuanyuIt was ok, a bit of understeer.
EngineerOk, understood.
Lewis HAMILTONI've changed my wheel and the groove at the back is too deep Copy
EngineerOkay, so time to gain is mid-corner turn one and mid-corner turn six and then a bit on entry of Correction mid-corner turn nine and entry of turn six
Lance STROLLAnd I have no grip picking up the power, and these tires are done.
EngineerCars ahead on slow laps, so eyes on dash.
Mick SCHUMACHERI would check also the first lap, turn 9, turn 10, if the T-Trade took some hits there or not.
EngineerCopy that.
Pierre GASLYOk, can you give us more feedback? What do you need here? Just
Engineerf***ing f***ing
Pierre GASLYlike the rear grip, I have
Engineera
Pierre GASLYcrazy wheel spin. Ok,
Engineercontact pushing,
Pierre GASLYapproaching turn 9, boat is coming now, coming now. Charge off. I charge off what? I'm in the grass. Ok, let's keep the head down please. What do you need to go, what's the issue with this turn 1? The issue, I don't have one single clean out, like warm up and then after I have f***ing rear, turn 3. So I don't
Engineerknow,
Pierre GASLYI have wheel spin likely. Okan pushing, coming behind our lot now. Okan pushing, coming behind our lot.
Lewis HAMILTONAh, I got down traffic.
Nikita MAZEPINMan, that was close.
Pierre GASLYI get traffic everywhere, nobody gives a f**k,
Engineerso... That's not really gonna change now.
EngineerDaniel, we currently have an issue with the fuel rig, happy to do one more timed lap if you want to try, happy to try one more lap if you want.
Daniel RICCIARDOOK, and I can always abort.
EngineerCopy, happy with that.
Engineerand we'll need a good warm-up on the brakes
Yuki TSUNODAYeah f***ing idiot this guy
EngineerYep, copy. Box, box, box, box. You push pit entry as a race lap. There will be a single cool stop, single cool stop onto the dead tires and flap adjust one turn down.
EngineerYeah, clearly it's the first time lap for this compound, and we missed it with the traffic on the outlap.
Pierre GASLYYeah, I just need much more rear grip.
EngineerOkay, the other car managed to make it work pretty well, so we'll have a look.
Pierre GASLYMe too, I can't make it work, you know, if we don't have any traffic, so... Just give me more rear grip, and then I make it work. Simple as that.
EngineerCould be up to 15 time-lapse for the checkered flag, Mox, 15.
EngineerGasly ahead could be on fuel so you need a big gap
EngineerDoing a good job with the rear left back but it is still continuing to creep up so just watch that grip hasn't stabilised.
EngineerAnd we've got Gasly 3 seconds Not
Lewis HAMILTONstopping the car enough, turn 3
EngineerAnd just watch your pedal crossover turn six and turn seven.
Lewis HAMILTONTires are over near ready.
Carlos SAINZGraining, front left.
EngineerCopy, graining, and, uh, rest up in 10.2.
Carlos SAINZAlso, I can see rear graining.
EngineerRested.
Sergio PEREZWith the base on this side
EngineerYeah, so Stroll is high fueling at 10.6 Leclerc is around a 1.10 So our target high 1.9
Carlos SAINZCar is really un-driveable.
EngineerIs that another driver on DRS ahead of it? Yeah!
Max VERSTAPPENIs there a gap somewhere?
EngineerNot really. Maintain position. Need two more laps I think, Max.
EngineerOk, more charge. So we will have to do another lap, get the flag and then go on the grid.
Kimi RAIKKONENIt's set for ***, compared to the previous
Engineerone.
Kimi RAIKKONENOr then something has happened to the car. Copy.
EngineerSo before any burnouts max before any burnouts, could you sink first gear please sink gear one and Then it's two burnouts, please two burnouts
Max VERSTAPPENStratum is okay
EngineerStrap suit is fine And it's a gear one launch from the left-hand side left-hand side
ZHOU GuanyuThank you so much everyone for this experience, I absolutely loved it.
EngineerNo worries mate, good progression.
EngineerWe're going to try and do a double shuffle on both cars, so slow in-lap please, slow in-lap.
