The session, message by message
EngineerOkay, so we'll let them do the white checks
EngineerClean these tyres up, get them up to temperature.
EngineerSo we'll focus on the outlap. We can do lift and turn 3 and then 120 through 6 and 7.
ZHOU GuanyuIt's
Engineeralright,
ZHOU Guanyulet me know if the brake is ready, it felt pretty poor
Nico HULKENBERGThere's definitely more bouncing and scraping going on, especially from 728.
EngineerCopy that.
EngineerI remind you, mind the bump in turn 10.
EngineerI feel a lot of a lot of bouncing about to me close to the exit of 10 copy that
EngineerHow was turn 6-7? It
Sergio PEREZwas a little bit more loose.
EngineerA
Sergio PEREZlittle bit more loose.
EngineerIn which phase? Entry mid?
Sergio PEREZYeah, right at the apex.
EngineerAre you happy with the mechanical change we did? Are you happy to keep?
Logan SARGEANTYes.
EngineerOkay.
EngineerSo from our side, the ride is looking and the oscillation is looking a bit better in 8. It might be worth trying the curve there if you think that's sensible.
EngineerSo, losing 1 tenth turn 1, we need better peak
Charles LECLERCYeah, getting used to this car, but it feels better Copy
EngineerAnd do not push entry turn 6 Losing half a tenth And then... What is... the
Charles LECLERCmain launch is at 9.10, no?
EngineerYeah, that's correct, we saw that you had traffic over there Next car behind pushing, Hülkenberg, 13 seconds And if you agree, we go for a double cooldown lap
Charles LECLERCYeah
EngineerAvoid upshift, exit turn 5 in high wheel speed condition.
ZHOU GuanyuYou are talking in the middle of the corner.
EngineerOpportunity 10-7, focus mid-exit.
Audio only, no transcript
EngineerOscar tell me about the front wing
Oscar PIASTRITo be honest, it feels quite good Maybe we could go up a little bit more like one more
Engineershall we try up two to understand the size of the effect or
Oscar PIASTRIYeah, we can do
EngineerCopy so we're boxed this lap we'll come up two
Nico HULKENBERGThat's the guy dreaming again.
EngineerUnderstood, Nico.
Yuki TSUNODAI feel like the tyre was already ready and turn 1, turn 2, I feel like 2 cooldowns
Engineeris
Yuki TSUNODAstill okay, how do you think?
EngineerOkay, let's go for one single cool down and then double later
EngineerFive seconds to Piastri. If we want a tow we can drop behind Piastri and Verstappen. Verstappen three behind Piastri.
Esteban OCONOK, we need to revert the tow please. Change.
EngineerIf we can do an aero cruise after 10 please, so aero P4 5th gear, next car back is Leclerc, high fuel, 9 seconds.
Esteban OCONWhen I arrive to the corner, I lose the front potential on the second lap each time.
EngineerOK, how about the first lap?
Esteban OCONFirst lap is OK, it's
Engineerthe
Esteban OCONsecond lap.
EngineerOK.
EngineerThe car's behind us slow.
Fernando ALONSOYeah, everyone is slow, they will have a bad surprise on qualifying.
EngineerYeah, copy mate, yep.
Lando NORRISWhy are people so stupid? Why can't they look in the mirror?
Audio only, no transcript
EngineerSo we suggest using the right hand toggle for turn 11 entry stability, possibly also 6 and 7.
Kevin MAGNUSSENYeah I don't agree guys.
EngineerOscar, let's drive through the pit lane to check the car. We'll box this lap, drive through the pit lane and check the car. We'll stop on the mark and check the car.
Oscar PIASTRIYeah, copy.
EngineerAll good on gaps, just get some break temp.
Pierre GASLYWhat tires are they on Williams?
EngineerSargent is on a hard tire new hard and then Russell is on new soft Obviously Esteban on new hard and Hamilton on new soft
Nico HULKENBERGI feel Club Check now, still quite excessive.
EngineerOkay, copy that.
EngineerTrying to do another call. Yeah, happy with another call. Watch the dials then.
EngineerOk, good effort Liam. I think we could have taken a little bit more flaps, so we'll nail it for qualifying. And we'll show you the few places where we can find a little bit of time. That was a good lap. Yeah, copy.
EngineerIt was a very good turn 1-2, in purple sector 1 I think there was a mistake turn 4-5, I'll give more feedback on the lap Ok,
Logan SARGEANTI locked into 4-5
EngineerOk, I'm hard, Ocon D-22-7, Gacy 23-1
Logan SARGEANTWhat am I targeting, plus 0? Plus 0,
Engineermaintain front
EngineerSo Verstappen's completed his lap. It's four and a half tenths to him. I
Lewis HAMILTONdon't know how to find that. Half a second.
EngineerThe rear left is looking a bit better so we need to work on the brakes.
EngineerSo we've got Sgt. 11 seconds back, fast, and then Sites 20 seconds back.
Fernando ALONSOLow fuel or high fuel?
EngineerEveryone low fuel, all low fuel.
EngineerCopy that mate, we'll take a look.
Valtteri BOTTASStrap it in front, lucky.
EngineerOkay, copy, copy. Do you want another push question, or we can... Yes, please.
EngineerOkay, Nico, losses to Kevin is turn 1, it's 0.17 seconds, and turn 8, 0.1 seconds. Turn 1, you can brake later, 15 meters, but have to bleed off the brake earlier just for the lock. And then turn 8 is just braking in apex, 0.1 seconds. Okay?
EngineerSo we're good, so Lance target for us is no tow, next down, no tow So Fernando's going to come through sights now, start working on brakes, start working on brakes Don't lean on the rear left, six and seven, and a bit of full load out of seven for the PU
EngineerAnd we need to be slightly faster than this just to make it through one minute left the session
EngineerRound 10 to 15 seconds max.
EngineerAnd a bit of start feedback. The drop was good and the drive out was a bit overdriven.
Oscar PIASTRIMate, is Carlos blind or what?
Carlos SAINZIs it like
Engineera
Carlos SAINZPS3 on a cooldown or PS3 pushy? He was behind me and then he tries to overtake me, I don't know. He's, like, doing it on purpose, I think. See if I can get up and help him.
EngineerUnderstood.
EngineerAnd keep an eye on the dash for the time delta, please. We need to be negative. It's not working. It's not doing my best lap. Copy.
EngineerOK, so nice and steady for the end of the lap again, tired temperatures are on target now, ideally we don't want them any hotter, and it will still be four burnouts please. Clutch drop from the end of the pit lane was a little bit light, about 3%, so we target a tiny bit deeper for the grid start.
Esteban OCONThere was a strange sound when I was building the revs on that one.
EngineerOK, understood, we'll have a look at that one. We'll see what we get on the grid as well, nothing to be concerned about at the moment. So four burnouts please, a start on the left hand side, and we are going to push to turn 11 after the start.
EngineerI
George RUSSELLneed to change my visor for quality, I've got a dent in it.
EngineerCopy.
Yuki TSUNODAWhat the f*** is Sykes doing, honestly?
