EngineerOkay, let's go.

Yuki TSUNODATarget temperature

Engineerand we have tailwind into turn 12 same as FP1

Fernando ALONSOYeah, what a disaster.

EngineerHow's the balance, Max?

Max VERSTAPPENQuite a lot more now towards the front.

EngineerLet me know if you'd like an air balance adjustment.

Max VERSTAPPENI'll just try again like this.

EngineerOkay, understood.

EngineerGot

Lewis HAMILTONthat front

EngineerSo Gap to Lando is pretty much all in sector 3 Daniel

Lewis HAMILTONI think there's

Engineera

Lewis HAMILTONstop for weighing.

EngineerOK, copy. Let us know what you need.

Lewis HAMILTONPlus two.

EngineerCopy, plus two.

EngineerSo the loss is to Bottas, two tenths in sector one, tenth and a half in sector three. Turn four stands out as the loss.

Max VERSTAPPENI'm getting some weird slants now, mid

Engineer-corner. OK, understood.

EngineerSo I recommend cancelling the handbrake for turns 12, 13, 14. Cancel handbrake for 12, 13, 14.

Lewis HAMILTONFront tyre's not working.

EngineerOK, copy.

Pierre GASLYWhere am I losing?

EngineerTurn 7. It's still turn 7. It's a lot there.

Pierre GASLYMinimum entry, exit.

EngineerMinimum speed. Match breaking, match exit, minimum speed.

EngineerI think we should box this lap. How's the balance there? Oh there's no front end, I can't turn the car especially turn one. Okay understood, is it all mid corner? Yeah turn one, it's all mid corner. Okay understood. All right so currently most cars out there are on medium and hard tyres at the moment so we're sat in P18 as it stands, about half a second takes you up to about P10, P9, P10. Watch for Norris four seconds back, he is pushing now. Norris two seconds. Also the high speed is not easy flat for some reason. Understood, did we degrade entry stability when we added front wing?

Esteban OCONNo.

EngineerUnderstood. Okay let's box now, we've got time to make an adjust and talk about it, so let's box now please, no traffic behind currently, all cars on slow laps.

Yuki TSUNODAYeah, I think for the hard, not much, because I increased the drift rate, but I think if we pull soft, it's going to be understeer. Copy, box, box.

Fernando ALONSONegative. It was worse.

EngineerUnderstood.

EngineerYour thoughts on car balance very

Sebastian VETTELpoor tons of understeer

Lance STROLLI think we can consider doing another call.

EngineerYeah, we're happy to do that. We're happy to do that.

EngineerTraffic is good, yeah, I can see I have plus six I will have a look

EngineerAnd track improvement we think is 6 tenths, 6 to 7 tenths. And we have tailwind into turn 12, same as first run. Get a good warm up on the brakes when you can.

EngineerLet me know if you like a front flap adjustment?

Max VERSTAPPENNo, I don't, but it's still the same behaviour, mid-corner, the car is like a slingshot or something, it keeps losing the radar then.

EngineerOK, understood.

EngineerOkay, nice cool down on the front nice cool down on the front

Kimi RAIKKONENYeah, I have water running in my f***ing foot, because your drinking system is leaking like s***.

Kimi RAIKKONENThere must be a lot of water, because every braking I can feel water in

Engineermy shoes. We'll have a look. You need to jump out for that.

Engineerso

Pierre GASLYi don't know if it's the wind but my steering is bent right inside down

Pierre GASLYI think my arms are too short to turn the wheel.

Kimi RAIKKONENHow is so f***ing difficult to do simple things, correct?

EngineerI don't know Kevin, I don't know. Let me investigate, the pump apparently was not running, so

Kimi RAIKKONENmaybe it's leaking somewhere else. We are having a look. Because I disconnected, it kept leaking in my f***ing

Engineerhelmet.

Kimi RAIKKONENYeah. So I disconnected, and now it's almost like it's on. I don't know what the f*** is happening. The most f***ing simple part in the whole car and we cannot f***ing fix it.

Daniel RICCIARDOokay yeah it's worse okay

Engineercopy so Lando did find two tents he was quicker in sector one and sector two do you want to try one more lap start

Daniel RICCIARDOanother yeah I'll try

Engineercopy

EngineerSo straight into the management, stay on top of that front right.

EngineerOk, pace is still good, we need 5 kph less in turn 8, another 5 less in turn 8 please

EngineerI've got the yellow and the red light on all the time next to my desk. Please press and hold the overtake.

Engineerso high 28 pace is really good if you can sustain that that's really good

EngineerI recommend Diff Mid 6, Diff Mid 6.

Lewis HAMILTONWhat times?

EngineerValtteri 28.3

Max VERSTAPPENUh, what are the LUTs?

EngineerHamilton 27.9, 28.1, 29.3, BOTAS 28.4

EngineerHe's half a second quicker, so you'll be doing Lyco level 2 from next lap and you can use the RS to defend Perez if needed.

EngineerOK, go back to mode race please, mode race. It's a joke, it's completely wrong. Yeah, something went wrong there.

Max VERSTAPPENThere are a couple of places that are picking up on the right front.

EngineerUnderstood.

Engineerand mid 28 paces matching Aston and Ocon

EngineerThe

Nikita MAZEPINfronts are dead, man.

EngineerAnd Lando, you will get one time lap on this tyre.

EngineerOkay, check off log, check off log, we go to grid to do our practice start

Nikita MAZEPINOkay, mode

EngineerIt's okay for now to keep pushing

EngineerSo we're into formation lap practice.

EngineerOK, back round to the grid. Mode 12, please. Mode 12 and tyre 5. Let's try to target zero on the rear.

EngineerSo target minus five on the dash on the rear tires target minus five for those rear tires So scoped back it out. What's the mode 12 mode 12?

Sergio PEREZThe car is pointing a bit to the left on the straight line

EngineerOkay, copy

Esteban OCONI can select G, yeah I'm in neutral

EngineerRelease the clutch, then pull it again and try selecting first Oh Understood

Charles LECLERCYeah, on my side I think, once I pushed a little bit too much behind, I can't remember what that was... Geminazi? Yeah, Geminazi, to overtake Wolleberg, that's how it is later.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerOK, so we're going to have to switch off, fortunately.

EngineerSo there is a Renault on the right hand side that's stopped for a long time so I'll let you know when he goes. The cars are starting to go but the Ocon at the front of the grid on the right hand side is stopped. So you can do your start but just be careful of Ocon.

EngineerOkay, keep up the pace, Max.

EngineerOk Kimi, can you slow down a little bit, we will do a live pit-stalk with the guys.
