EngineerBipom finds one burnout conservative launch

EngineerAnd launch me back you were target minus one.

EngineerNo other cars on track to worry about.

EngineerOkay, no traffic. Brakes are good. Just remember mode push, mode push, and reset big adjuster.

EngineerOkay Lando, the issue in turn 10 was rear locking, so the suggestion is to do 4 turn 10, plus 1 on the bow, as well as the toggle.

EngineerSo we see from the other cars data tail six seven nine thirteen and possibly headwind in eleven

EngineerAnd new brakes, reminder, are you ready to check?

Carlos SAINZYeah, ready is good.

EngineerOk, cool.

Carlos SAINZYeah, for your info, the seat cracked a bit, like it used to last year.

EngineerOK, understood.

Kevin MAGNUSSENI think I'd like to try some engine braking

EngineerCopy that, PET6 or an EB level? Question? Uh

Kevin MAGNUSSENwe'll try PET6

EngineerCopy that How much? No

Kevin MAGNUSSENwe don't want it, no worries, I'll try a PET6 PET6 is good for Ros

Nico HULKENBERGI think overcooked a bit on the McBowl for this track temp anyways. I

Engineerthink it's best to go back at least one step forward. Yeah, we'll come back one step then. Yeah, come forward one step.

EngineerApproaching wind phase one right now, wind phase one, intensity is a bit lower than before.

EngineerOk, good job on the gears, take it easy where you are, and then a bit of weaving after turn 10, after turn 13.

EngineerOk Lance, wind information, it's around 15 kph tail through 6-7 and down to 14

EngineerLet me know if you want to do any flap adjust copy, so let's go through the pit lane for start end of the pit lane

EngineerAlonso's P133-1 on the soft.

EngineerSo just cool the engine a bit on this in lap, cool the engine a bit so we've got headroom for a lay rubber and a start. The only fast car behind you is Hülkenberg 10 seconds back.

EngineerOK, Superman, box box, practice pit stop, no launch. Box box, practice pit stop, no launch.

EngineerI

Max VERSTAPPENhave no grip, no grip.

EngineerOkay, we'll target.

EngineerOK, Oscar, out of turn 10, can we do a CSL? Purple C7 position 3 for that. Purple C7 position 3 will be 160 kph, third gear.

EngineerSo, check it out, let's keep up the pace and then we'll go back out on this tyre set and give it a re-bell mechanically, you happy with that?

Sergio PEREZYep, happy.

EngineerIf you want to abort Habitabox, just go recharge on, if you want to.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, I'm fitting, it's your tyre anyway.

Pierre GASLYToo much understeer and in off-ground.

EngineerSo push and hold, overtake. You told me boxing while you've been out about to pit that man. Eh, firm, apologies.

EngineerReminder to take it easy on brake in turn 11, reminder take it easy on brake in turn 11, all clear at home.

EngineerGood improvement, tidy turn one two.

EngineerReminder to take it easy on braking turn.

Alexander ALBONYeah, that was all wrong. Massive front locking and just understeer through that whole stint from turn 1 to the final corner.

Lewis HAMILTONAm I rizzle? So hot already to start with.

EngineerYeah, copy. Notice that.

George RUSSELLIf we've got time I'm happy to come through, small flap adjust, wait for the start and start the next

EngineerHey Ethan, just say what you'd like on the aerobalance

George RUSSELLMinus 0.7

EngineerI keep a bit of a Piastri behind, and then there'll be Hülkenberg in five seconds.

Lewis HAMILTONNeed

Engineerto

Lewis HAMILTONbe a little bit earlier with these notices mate, regardless of where everyone is, you know.

EngineerThat could be Hülkenberg, he's on a slow lap, out lap at one and a half, and then Norris, eight seconds.

EngineerCurrently still P1

Fernando ALONSOOh really? Great

George RUSSELLAnd just

Engineercomparing to Alonso 7, 9 and 11 are the main losses to Alonso

EngineerAnd then we are boxed this lap. Stopping in front of our garage, you'll have to drive around Oscar, who will be in front of his.

EngineerOkay, recharge on. Be about six. Do you want another push lap? That's P3. Alonso P1, 32.3. Max, 32.3. Yourself, 32.4. Cancel handbrake.

Lewis HAMILTONTear off the spot, left rear.

EngineerCopy, we'll keep an eye on it.

EngineerOkay, let's go tyre 7, recharge off and downshift test for turn 11. You can run like that through turn 13 or so.

EngineerEverybody set the lab already and stuff though? Yes, yeah, a lot of them went earlier, so all the times are set. So where are we? P12 and Kevin's P11. We're at 33.4 and like P8 is 33.1, so like 3 tenths in it. It's 5 tenths to P6.

EngineerI

Nyck DE VRIESthink it's pretty clear, we have too much understanding of the car, I usually never have such a close second lap to my first push.

EngineerIn terms of compare with the other car, it doesn't look that way, so we'll check everything and try to tune it for quality. But, loud and clear on your feedback.

EngineerSo I think this will probably go red on exit, this will probably go red on exit, just keep an eye for it, it will come and get you.

Lewis HAMILTONCome on guys, I've missed this twice now.

EngineerI think I dropped it a little bit too deep and therefore I held the pedal a little bit longer to avoid too much wheel spin Copy that, keep opening the gap please And this one was close to target, this one was close to target Copy, but too much wheel spin Confirmed
