The session, message by message
EngineerWe will do a start, we will do a start.
EngineerAnd you were on target, drive out very well managed.
EngineerRear locking is very low, so let's go brake balance one click rearward.
EngineerPress and hold overtake for 5 seconds. Overtake for 5 seconds.
EngineerSuggest down two clicks brake balance to replicate race start down two clicks brake balance
EngineerSo Daniel in pit lane, we're gonna do start practice at the pit exit There's no bike point find, two burnouts and a first gear launch. You can have recharge off and go straight into pushing
Daniel RICCIARDOOkay, roger
EngineerSo Norris' lap time is around the 26.0. I suspect he's at a higher fuel load than us.
EngineerOn reminder, pull to goal turn 1.
EngineerHow's the balance, Chaco?
Sergio PEREZYeah, I'm just talking. It's all right. I think I can match him next lap.
EngineerCopy.
EngineerCan I have engine 6, position 1 please? Engine 6, position 1 before you open the lap.
EngineerOkay Lando, I'd like two laps, no overtake, no red button.
Esteban OCONLet me know how to remove the DRS bit
EngineerCopy that standby Okay, Esteban. We need fail a one zero. Okay fail a one zero. Okay
EngineerThis pace is good. Max's second lap at 23.8. So his tyres are five or six laps fresher than ours.
EngineerEngine 14, engine 1-4, position 2, position 2. Checo, last lap at 24.2.
EngineerOkay, fastest lap for Lando was a 25.98 and his final lap 26.4
Daniel RICCIARDOUnderstood Just in a phase two, phase three
EngineerA friendly heads up at turn 11 max. What does that mean? I think it means you were fine, you were just close.
EngineerSo just to give you an idea, there's not many on hard tyre but that was 3 tenths quicker than Lance last lap.
EngineerOK, how's the balance?
Esteban OCONIt's not too bad for me.
EngineerAnd seeing some tech on the soft
EngineerAnd we'll have one more lap, Valtteri 25.5 last lap.
EngineerMain gains, straight line speed in a toe was and some losses turn 8-9. Red, red, red. So keep the delta positive. Now we're taking.
Carlos SAINZI had a massive crash
EngineerAre you okay? That hurt a bit, but I'm okay
EngineerSo science is stopped in middle of the track of turn 9 so just caution here. There are marshals on the track
EngineerSo reset funk. These tires still have reasonable temp so we'll just get them wrapped and go again. So it's double yellow through here. Be careful through here. Just be careful through here and mode slow, mode slow. Signs car on the left.
EngineerOkay, Daniel, we can wait one minute, but we'll just have to cool the car a lot on the formation lap practice. That's not a problem
EngineerClutch was 1% deep, 1% deep. Understood.
EngineerSo tyres are still just coming up to temperature this first lap.
EngineerJust ahead of Alonso. OK, so let's back out of this. Let Giovinazzi through. Giovinazzi at three seconds. Ocon and Schumacher. Next car behind is Gasly's.
EngineerReminder, throttle application exit, turn 2. Reminder, throttle application exit, turn 2.
EngineerReminder, throttle application exit turn 2.
EngineerAnd feedback for you, you were target minus one, this time round I'd like you to do target plus two please, target plus two and we box this lap.
Lando NORRISYeah, confirm, let me play.
EngineerSo a reminder, handbrake turn one, handbrake turn one.
EngineerI think
Sebastian VETTELin terms of D rates, the car's doing what it wants.
EngineerCopy that, copy.
EngineerThree more laps.
EngineerLet me know your thoughts on aerobalance, aerobalance. I'm happy with the aerobalance. Copy.
EngineerAnd this will be out lap critical
EngineerYou can release brake turn one and four to not have rear lock
Sebastian VETTELIs it really Messi or is it just me who get this impression?
EngineerI think it's Messi. It is Messi.
EngineerWhat's your limitation in turn 4?
Sergio PEREZFrom looking underneath, it's very light everything.
EngineerYeah, copy that Checo.
EngineerSo that last lap was two and a half tenths faster than Lance's first lap on the same time. Last lap was deleted, 10.11.
EngineerIs it any better in free air, or is it still just this dead condition?
Mick SCHUMACHERI feel the low grip on all four tires.
EngineerBut
Mick SCHUMACHERit seems like it's recovering a bit.
EngineerOkay, understood. You have Vettel close behind.
EngineerOK, if we can do a small lift and coast before 8 and 11 just to help cool the car on the way and that would be good. Would you like a flap adjust?
Esteban OCONCopy, let's give the signal now.
Charles LECLERCGuys, I need to stop. Copy that. I cannot explain here. Copy
Engineerbox now, box.
EngineerOK, so Hamilton on a new hard 23.5, Bottas lap 6 on the soft 24.1.
EngineerAnd Valtteri, if you want some running in traffic box box this lap, you can go even for a start so cool the car
Yuki TSUNODAI can't go throttle aggressively because it's so snappy like I have in the 10-7.
Engineerand suggest right hand toggle for turn six seven opportunity focus on exit
EngineerKeep pushing and I'll let you know if we have time for another one.
EngineerDef entry 9 for stability. Def entry 9.
EngineerPerfect, that was a good 5 second margin.
EngineerAnd this is Zilop, this is Zilop, keep pushing until turn 5.
