George RUSSELLI feel like the car is pulling quite a bit to my left.
EngineerJust quite wet in the last corner.
Lewis HAMILTONThat breaks not working that well
EngineerValtteri, let me know how you're getting on with the tyres, it just went purple sector 2. Yeah, they're starting to work the fronts, we're a bit on the limit. Copy, if you want to stop next time around we can try to help you with the fronts.
EngineerAh,
Kimi RAIKKONENmy brakes failed. I have no brakes.
Fernando ALONSOBut I feel only from looking so it's a strength
EngineerHow are the tyres? I
Sergio PEREZhad a little flat spot, down into five.
EngineerHow's the track?
Lando NORRISYeah, it's okay. It's just drying everywhere. Quite greasy now.
Nikita MAZEPINI'll cool for one lap because I think the tyres are going and I think I have a small flat spot.
EngineerUnderstood, understood. Most people doing cooldowns, 10 to 15 seconds slower.
EngineerHow is Charles? Is he complaining also or where is he? Yeah, he is also complaining.
Carlos SAINZDid he improve the 0.5?
EngineerHe did not, he boxed.
Yuki TSUNODAYeah, I can see a lot of graining in the front left
EngineerYeah, clear Yuki, clear. So we try one more lap and see what we get
EngineerWe have reports of slightly more rain around the circuit only light rain and then we expect Let's say an increase in rain in ten minutes time. So it should be a dry Not much more rain for at least one lap
Sergio PEREZVibrations are on the high side. Copy, we're monitoring.
Engineerokay mate we see a little bit of vibration at the front we reckon a second push lap is worth a go so keep pushing
Max VERSTAPPENYeah, bright lines are disappearing now slowly.
Carlos SAINZJet truck is back to full weather.
Engineerand let us know how the track is and if you think you prefer to run sustainable or not well i'm not pushing at
Fernando ALONSOthe limit but let's try the energy
Engineerand let us know how the track is and if you think you prefer to run sustainable or not
Fernando ALONSOwell i'm not pushing at the limit but uh let's try the energy okay
EngineerReminder, turn 5, use the escape route if you're logging up.
Engineerand no more rain expected no more rain
EngineerThe front wing behaviour looks good. Let's see how the car behaves.
Carlos SAINZDo I have nearly as a leak on the front left? I guess I'm paying the price for the extra laps before. Yeah, I need to box.
EngineerA
Nikita MAZEPINbetter look on this here. The front tires are quite **** in my opinion.
Nikita MAZEPINOkay, I was catching the car. There's zero grip out there, to be honest mate, versus what it was.
Charles LECLERCThere's something in the cockpit sir, please.
EngineerWe don't think the track will actually get to dry conditions It's just a question of if you want to put one on just to try it. Yeah, I do. Okay, this time round?
Lando NORRISYeah, why not?
EngineerOK Lando, so happy to go once, pass it if you want, or box if it's too tricky?
Lando NORRISNah, I can box. OK, we are boxes that then.
Carlos SAINZLet me open it up,
Engineerif I can. OK. I feel a lot more grip now.
