Audio only, no transcript
Esteban OCONAll clear, steering a bit to the right I think.
EngineerCopy that, understood.
Carlos SAINZI have some brake vibrations.
Engineersee
Carlos SAINZthe vibrations is quite bad. It almost feels like the front brakes more than the rear I think.
Nikita MAZEPINThe rears are quite good, but the front has a lot of sliding and it gets bombed
George RUSSELLThe brake pedal feels a bit locked
Daniel RICCIARDOWhere's the main area so I can improve? I think turn 3 is a bit, that's quite obvious for me, I can do better there. Anything else just let me know. So
Engineerturn 3 is coming on well, there's possibly a little time to find braking for the castle, turn 8. Don't let that compromise your turn in there, the time to find is in straight line braking. And also the final corner, you need to commit to turn in, in the final corner.
Yuki TSUNODABut later in the game I have quite a lot of others there in the slow speed corner.
Nicholas LATIFIThe rear is feeling very poor on this love floating around no confidence yet
EngineerOkay, we're in a good gap here. Let's keep building.
EngineerThere's a green button pointing at my nash. Okay, I will check. This is the delta time, so basically it's saying you're too slow for the delta time, but don't need to worry about it for now.
EngineerSo you have Perez, he'll be starting a push behind, 2.5. Yeah, he blocked. I know, he didn't do you any favors. We reported it. Okay, so watch Perez behind and charge on.
EngineerThere's a yellow turn 4 for Tsunoda in escape road So you can either abandon this lap and push next one or just back off in 4 and finish the lap Yellow turn 4 Tsunoda escape road
Mick SCHUMACHERYeah, abandon this one
EngineerDaniel, there is still yellow flags. It looks like Sunoda cannot move the car at the moment.
EngineerSo the tyres looked in a better window for that lap. How's the balance on your side?
Sergio PEREZYeah, I think they're just getting better, the tyres.
EngineerI
Nicholas LATIFIdon't
Engineerknow
Nicholas LATIFIwhy these guys are going slow. It's
Engineerthe
Nicholas LATIFImost dangerous part.
Nicholas LATIFII was feeling a weird vibration, just before pit entry, when I was full throttle. Okay, we'll have a look. It didn't feel like a tire vibration. It felt like something else.
Carlos SAINZYeah, the cool-down knob needs to be very slow to
Engineerput
Carlos SAINZa bit of overheating.
Nicholas LATIFIThe tires are gone.
Nikita MAZEPINSomething wrong with the clutch again. Clutch pedal.
EngineerOkay, just release it and pull it in gently, as clean as you can, straight towards you, without moving it up or down if possible.
Pierre GASLYAh f**k, they're at the corner. I'm an idiot.
EngineerCopy that, it's probably a 10-4-4 there. Anyway, it's a bit more in the pocket for later.
Yuki TSUNODADon't cut me off copy
Engineeryou close the lap and we need to cool down
Kimi RAIKKONENYeah, but something is wrong with the settings. I'm turning my battery completely before the start of the race. Why is it completely empty? I don't know. I'll come back to you, Mozart. So where's the issue? In the settings somewhere? You check and you tell me. Yeah,
Engineeryeah,
Kimi RAIKKONENyeah. Watch for a point in the meantime,
EngineerMozart.
Kimi RAIKKONENHow difficult can it be?
EngineerCome back. But is there something that I don't... that we can do in one lap? No, we can't. Some setting that we can... Is something in the setting in the background being pulled to the box or moving to the box? We cannot change it on a switch, basically. So it's something in the background.
Kimi RAIKKONENWas this issue in the first lap also? Yes, eight laps, yeah. Nobody noticed. But nobody noticed there. It was only just one hundred degrees out of the three laps.
Nicholas LATIFII don't know. It could just be that it's
Engineera
Nicholas LATIFImassive bag. I don't know. The rear tires don't look too happy.
