Engineer5.5 from the ground

EngineerSo, remember to put some temperature on your brakes.

Engineerand the wind is low, 5 to 10 kph.

Lando NORRISThe brake pedal feels a little spongy, a bit soft.

EngineerReady to charge on.

Yuki TSUNODAUm, I have to...

EngineerI

Yuki TSUNODAhave to pay it because the seat belt is loose. My seat belt took it off.

EngineerOkay, so first laps Hamilton on medium 23.6 Checo medium 24.2 Then Bottas 24.5, UOP4 on a 24.6 and too close to Tsunoda

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, I feel like the front end is quite strong medium to high speed, but I'll check it again

EngineerOkay, understood

Yuki TSUNODASeatbelt is okay.

EngineerSeatbelt is okay. If it is okay, we stay out, Yuki. Please confirm.

Yuki TSUNODAYeah, all good, all good.

EngineerCopy that.

EngineerAnd if we can have HPP 6, position 4. 6, position 4.

EngineerHow's rear locking turn 1 and 4 there?

Esteban OCONDoesn't feel too much better with the wide.

EngineerCopy that.

Yuki TSUNODAI don't

Engineerhave

Yuki TSUNODAno power. No, I don't

Engineerknow

Yuki TSUNODAwhy copy

Engineercopy now is good.

Yuki TSUNODAMy disco is always

Valtteri BOTTASIs the water temperature okay? It's high. High, sir. High, sir.

EngineerDaniel, we'll box at the end of this lap, we'll box at the end of this lap. I suggest we try a bit more flap for the Push Cool Push laps.

EngineerCopy that.

Esteban OCONTurning our bit sharp in Lesmo 1 and Lesmo 2.

EngineerCopy that.

EngineerCould be time to find parabolica minimum speed committing more to the initial steer input with brake release

Antonio GIOVINAZZII have an issue with the seat on the left side.

EngineerCopy Antonio, we will check after.

EngineerCold and cooler tyres to start with. Yeah, copy that, agreed.

EngineerDaniel, how does the aero balance feel now for Push Cool Push? Watch for Orkon. Yeah,

Daniel RICCIARDOstruggling a little bit with balance. So a little bit disconnection. And yeah, just traction's quite weak.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerAnd Lando, how's the balance? Anything we can help with? I

Lando NORRISjust have a lack of air at the moment. A bit of honesty at turn 1, turn 2 as well. Otherwise, a bit of entry instability everywhere else.

EngineerOK, understood.

EngineerOkay, how's the balance?

Esteban OCONOkay, I think it's

Engineera

Esteban OCONbit pointy on the high speed So probably a bit too much higher balance, I reckon 8, 9 and 11 They're quite Yeah, really limited The ride with the grip better at the end was not the biggest issue Okay, copy that. It got better.

EngineerOkay, that's good and the

Esteban OCONThe braking is a bit too real for turn 1 especially

EngineerOkay, copy that Let's box now, please. How is low speed rotation?

Esteban OCONTurn 1, 2 is not that good

EngineerRotation. Watch for Hamilton pushing behind. Let's box now, please

EngineerSo, Sebastian, this lap is going to be hard to get a tow as well.

Sebastian VETTELThat's okay.

EngineerCopy.

Max VERSTAPPENI had the same problem still in low speed and when I want to go on throttle in turn 2 I just have no rear grip

Yuki TSUNODAI can't change the engine braking. He sees the engine braking wrong all the time.

EngineerYou can cool down the car, cool down the car, Perez pushing behind, then Bottas 4 behind.

EngineerSo use first gear turn one and two, second gear turn four and five on slow lap.

EngineerLet's go entry 6, let's go entry 6 for that lap, on charge of that lap. I have understood, perfect game. Ok, copy that.

EngineerThe Delta is set correctly that needs to be negative and closed or can be close to zero but needs to be negative at the end of the lap.

Daniel RICCIARDOOkay.

EngineerClutch 1% deep, drive out very good.

Nicholas LATIFIGuys, if we have the time, I want to take out the padding in my lower back, in my seat. I'm not in time without the padding, so I'm

Engineergoing

Nicholas LATIFIto loosen the belt. Cutting, right, cutting.

EngineerWe'll have time, we'll have time, no worries. Yep, cutting. So, single press HPP, single press HPP, focus on PU cooling and set pushing 4 behind.

Fernando ALONSOand uh lap

Engineertime was deleted for track limits turn 11. still a bit of time to gain mid corner turn eight but nine and ten look better and how was the balance after this change

Fernando ALONSOyeah maybe better you want any switch changes uh

Engineercan we have pu4 position two pu4 position two

Lando NORRISYeah, just confirmed that none of these guys on those slow laps are staying above the deltas, so

EngineerYou

Lando NORRISmust be able to cool down a lot more on

Engineerthe

Lando NORRIScool lap, comparing to an L lap

Engineerthey don't seem to be penalizing people doing slower slow laps we just need to make sure we're not impeding anybody

Engineerlet's go break five if we can for a couple of break stabs how was the balance? balance felt okay still quite nervous in the ice peak I would say okay copy that so Leclerc six seconds ahead

EngineerOk, traffic behind is good, you can slow down a bit if you need to. I'm trying to be in the tow. Copy.

EngineerOk Pierre, we are going to push on with the change and we follow the program, we follow the plan So let's wait for the car to be plugged and we have a shot Copy

Pierre GASLYI have quite big stomach ache, I don't know why but...

EngineerYuki DeLapp was good, better turn 8 and turn 11, still something to improve and I will show you in the garage.

EngineerLosses to Max turn one two and turn four five

EngineerSo Lewis 20.9 is 1 tenth, sector 1 half a tenth, sector 2 and a smidge, sector 3 another half a tenth.

Valtteri BOTTASSo how can I get more rear support for turn 8? Just go up with it if high speed or...

EngineerA-Firm, clutch on target, pedal was low, 26 seconds behind the gap.

Engineerqualifying, can you

Nikita MAZEPINplease release me closer to car number one, because it's easier for me to tow.

EngineerUnderstood.

George RUSSELLGeneral limitations still very much the same. Obviously need to drive. How much slower do you want me to follow through?

EngineerPlus 30, 3-0, dropping the rear. What

George RUSSELLis that equivalent to on the Delta?

EngineerMinus 5, minus 5 for you to follow.

EngineerDaniel I'm going to propose we try a higher rear ride height to help through corner balance and a little bit of confidence in the high-speed corners you happy with that?

EngineerSo we have got good tyre temperature.

EngineerThere's the brake temps, tyre temps looking good.

EngineerOk,

Lewis HAMILTONwhere can it be better? Turn 1 and 2?

EngineerSo yeah, turns 1 and 2. First lap was exit, second lap was entry.

Yuki TSUNODAI feel similar feeling as a netherland, I feel lost power at the turn 8 Sorry, turn 7, check

EngineerCopy, we have a look We will fix foq Wally, now we need to cope with that

EngineerSo we have seen people improving on the second push slap on the medium compound.

EngineerOkay and I imagine the cars ahead might go slower than we will have to on our outlaps because of the lap time delta. This is good practice for how bad it could be in qualifying.

Esteban OCONI completely blocked me there.

EngineerOk, quick feedback to Antonio, 3 tenths braking turn 1, and then ask Harry.

EngineerDaniel, Lando is going to go ahead of you so we can have a tow this lap. Lando will go ahead to get clear air.

Sergio PEREZDo you think we might get another lap?

EngineerYeah, let's keep on pushing.

EngineerDaniel if you want to go again you have to go this lap you have to go again this lap

EngineerOkay Landon, I'd like to abort now please, so retarge on, careful of gasoline right behind.

EngineerLewis, we'd like to do a cruise mode exit last corner, so it'll be cruise mode two, fifth gear.
