Theo POURCHAIREThe pedal feels strange. As soon as I have the alarm on the dashboard, the pedal is longer. Okay, okay. Do your best for now. Keep going.
EngineerWe have an engine problem, we have no power. Okay, nothing, everything is okay, everything's okay, so Fernando's 13 in front, so you're just getting into this run now.
Isack HADJARI am on this toll, mate. I am on this toll.
EngineerOkay, charge on, we go for a cool down. We have an issue with tire data So it's not working on the dash and not working for us in telemetry
Charles LECLERCThe engine does a slight strange noise when I'm full throttle, like a metal noise, just for your info.
EngineerUnderstood.
EngineerAnd Oscar recharge on, cool down lap, we need to cool the PU, so big lifts into turn one, we'll do a cool down and go for a final push lap.
Oscar PIASTRIUh, more power would be good if we could attack.
Esteban OCONOkay, the bite point find didn't work, and at low rev when I pulled away from the box, there was also no power.
EngineerOkay, understood. We'll have a look at that. No concerns at the moment.
EngineerOkay, there's insufficient time for that downshift between four and five
EngineerIt's
Lewis HAMILTONreally hard to see you guys in the pit lane.
ZHOU GuanyuYeah, I need to cap it a little bit before.
EngineerCopy, copy.
EngineerStay to the left on the start finish straight, there is some debris on the right hand side.
Carlos SAINZI lost the car hydraulics. I will try and make it back. I have no power steering. Sorry Trico, but I have an issue with the car.
EngineerStein's had a car issue.
ZHOU GuanyuWhat the f***
Engineeram
ZHOU GuanyuI doing?
Lando NORRISUh, something's happened?
EngineerWhat do you see, Landry? Or what do you feel? Well, just look at the revs, mate. It's like the throttle got stuck on or something. Over-revved like hell.
EngineerYeah, but it was it was revving into the limit cells. Yes, we see it and understand it. We're happy to continue
EngineerOkay mate, for timing it would be in our interest to box at the end of this lap, it would be nice to get another one in. Currently we're P7 with that time.
EngineerSo we can go recharge off coming out of turn three and try and learn six through eight
Isack HADJARAt the moment, it's quite on the under-3 side, mid-corner phase, whether it's slow speed or medium speed.
EngineerCopy that, good info. Still clear behind, let's keep working on those brakes.
EngineerSo reminder we're going to want recharge off before turn 16, suggest taking a good gap to Perez.
Max VERSTAPPENI pressed the button too tight, just as it didn't came on.
EngineerWe were definitely a
Logan SARGEANTbit over flopped.
EngineerKeep progress, that's good.
Alexander ALBONIt feels like I'm done on power. The
Engineerwhole lap or somewhere in particular?
Alexander ALBONJust like down the straights.
EngineerSo that'll be StratMed 7 and you're good to go, remember one lap with DRS, two without, whatever order.
Oliver BEARMANYeah, I had a bit of traffic level up. No
Engineerworries. Nico, 11 seconds behind time lap.
Alexander ALBONI just look up for these ties, right?
EngineerAffirm.
EngineerAnd suggest trying the back right for turn one. Back right for turn one. This is your last push lap.
EngineerKeep an eye out for the crew there outside your garage
EngineerOkay Oli, we are actually in terms of energy able to go mode push, so let's get mode push now and you're good to go. Mode push please, good to go. Before running we do... Oh, should I start pushing? Yep, start pushing now please.
Charles LECLERCLet's do, let's stay where we are.
EngineerUnderstood, so we just do the start at the end of the pitch.
Daniel RICCIARDOIf
Engineeryou
Daniel RICCIARDOwant, yeah, not much change.
EngineerIf
Daniel RICCIARDOyou want a box.
EngineerAnd then Piastri, high fuel, running three seconds behind him, so a couple of cars to come past this time.
Logan SARGEANTUm, something, uh, just feels...
EngineerOkay, copy. Do you want to try another push or do you want to just box?
Logan SARGEANTWhat do we think, one gear up in turn 13?
Max VERSTAPPENI need to barf, there's something in between my feet. It's just loose.
EngineerYeah, understood. Box.
Engineerif you want to reset your dash Delta it's purple default zero alpha purple default zero alpha
Isack HADJARCopy that, push the goal for turn 1, up until wet
EngineerHamilton using DRS, suspect he is low fuel here.
Audio only, no transcript
EngineerYeah, okay, I'll come behind you. I'll come behind you watch out. Yeah
Sergio PEREZHow do you feel going the other way around? Forward, forward.
Isack HADJARI didn't manage to exploit on the second lap I made a... I pushed too wide
EngineerYou can go shape 5, break shape 5.
Jack DOOHANI had a strange clipping out of turn three.
Carlos SAINZYeah, quick turn around even if
Engineeryou
Carlos SAINZdon't...
EngineerNorris behind is nine seconds back he's on sustainable
EngineerOkay, that's a good lap, that's P2, that's a perfect sector one.
EngineerAnd blue mode 4, blue mode 4.
Carlos SAINZLet's try things on the noise that you see on data. That's
Engineergood.
EngineerOscar, we saw the mistake, all okay?
Oscar PIASTRIYep.
ZHOU GuanyuOkay, it's very hard. Mode
Engineerrace, mode race.
Lewis HAMILTONBest to be slow so I can't get even close.
EngineerOkay, copy. So you've got Beaman behind to 2 seconds.
EngineerPlease press the oil pump button when you can. Please press the oil pump button when you can. Joe, four seconds.
Fernando ALONSOYeah, I want to do a good time-lapse first of all copy
Engineerthat yeah copy
Isack HADJARYeah, the wheels are already struggling
Logan SARGEANTYeah, confirm.
EngineerOkay, copy. We'll stick with plenty.
EngineerThere's a 7 second gap behind you, it's not going to get any better than this. OK,
Oliver BEARMANI'll take this one. Yeah.
Alexander ALBONRepeat the green.
EngineerGreen 8, position 9. Green 8, position 9.
EngineerVery good lap there and what you were doing with Leico was good.
Isack HADJARYeah, best day of my life mate. That was incredible. Yeah,
Engineergood job man. Good job. Hamilton behind you.
Charles LECLERCThey are taking ages, come on.
EngineerOkay, we've seen that.
EngineerAnd also another big liftoff into turn 12.
Charles LECLERCYes, I'm trying to do my best. I cannot do more than that.
EngineerUnderstood.
Daniel RICCIARDOI think for sure in the car we can improve things, but also me. I wasn't too happy with the laps I did on those stuff to compare.
EngineerIs he pushing? No, no one is pushing. You're all in sync, they took the checkered.
Isack HADJARI want to wave at Lewis.
EngineerLet's pick up the pace, let's pick up the pace. We need to open the gap. That's okay, we'll wave at him next time. This is good. Cool off the engine.
ZHOU GuanyuOnly when you cool down up, you can see the crowd. It's so crowded, so it's almost a nice, let's say, a typical place for a Mexico track, so enjoy that!
EngineerThank you very much for that. It's good data collected there today. Yeah, thank you guys. Honestly, big dream of mine and to do it with you guys is just even better. So thank you very much for this opportunity.
Oliver BEARMANWell, that was over pretty quickly. It was amazing, isn't
Engineerit? Super job, Oli. Really well done.
Oliver BEARMANThanks, mate. It was a pleasure. I really enjoyed it. That soft...
EngineerIt
Oliver BEARMANdoesn't last very long.
EngineerNo, it doesn't. We probably didn't have enough balance in the car either, but really excellent work there, Nicky.
Oliver BEARMANThanks. Thanks to everyone for the opportunity and it was a great, great experience.
