EngineerOkay, Magnussen pushing three behind.
EngineerRemember to follow Delta, stay positive
ZHOU GuanyuI'm thinking go plus one from wing, let me know
ZHOU GuanyuI'm thinking go plus one from wing, let me know.
EngineerRemember to follow Delta, stay positive.
EngineerHow did the tyres feel on the second lap, Esteban?
Esteban OCONYeah, not good.
EngineerNot good. Copy that. No.
EngineerF***,
Sergio PEREZI've crashed. I've crashed.
ZHOU GuanyuYep, happy with that lap one. Honestly the tyre is not there.
Max VERSTAPPENWhat happened?
EngineerThat's Checos at turn one
Nyck DE VRIESWhat are the options?
EngineerSo options are either push cool push, pit stop, single push, or single run of 3 push laps.
Nyck DE VRIESSingle run of 3 push laps, why would we want to do a pit stop?
EngineerSo Charles, we'll swap positions as soon as possible, okay?
Charles LECLERCYeah, to be honest now I think it's too late. Let's keep it like this and I will let him go. Tell him to not stupidly slow down in the last sector, but let's stay like this, it will be easier for everyone.
EngineerWatch debris exit turn one
EngineerGet past De Vries, get past De Vries.
EngineerYeah, push him on if he doesn't want to.
EngineerOkay cars very well spaced behind
EngineerWe'll just target a single call.
EngineerThat's currently P2
EngineerThink about your slow lap pace then
EngineerLet's tap M13 zero P1 and charge the the M13 from
EngineerSo losing half a tenth that turns three four and half a tenth
EngineerLosing half a tenth at turns three four and half a tenth
Fernando ALONSOWhat do you recommend?
EngineerI think you're okay now Fernando. There's four cars ahead to start their laps. Albon is 10 behind.
Oscar PIASTRICheck the rear left, I touched the wall
EngineerAnd Lando, do you remember the kerb after the last corner? Avoid shifting there please.
EngineerWhich one? Which gap do you want me to drop? Let Magnussen pass and we'll go in that gap. So, Tsunoda's eight behind you and there's two Ferraris to start their lap.
Max VERSTAPPENI did ride the wall a little bit out of the last corner, but I think it's fine.
EngineerOkay, understood. We'll have a look.
EngineerNo one pushing behind.
Charles LECLERCCarlos! Come on.
EngineerYeah, we've seen it.
Max VERSTAPPENAre they on laps or what? No, no
Engineerthrows for the moment. Just try to create your gap to Russell at this point, but maintain trap position.
EngineerSo Norris will be pushing right behind you, Norris pushing right behind you, so watch your mirrors, don't impede him, don't impede him.
EngineerOkay, where are we 12 we still have
EngineerAm I safe? You are safe. We'll be reusing this set. So currently P7, four and a half tenths of Verstappen.
EngineerOur advice is to do used tire push-cull-push and then new tire single push.
EngineerIt was a good lap, Logan. It was a good lap. It's a very, very close field. Well done. Yeah, thanks, guys. I honestly don't feel like I had much more there.
EngineerWhere are we now? We didn't get through. Neither of us got through. We're 17 and 18
George RUSSELLLet me know about that turn 13 and what you think. Maybe it was induced by turn 12 understood
EngineerAnd if you go to p2 and then fire up
Engineerlet's go for break three please break three gap in front three seconds
EngineerAlex is still a few cars without to open the lap, so we'll have to put it behind Verstappen.
EngineerMain loss, mid-speed turn 12, also a little bit turn 18.
EngineerOK, nice lap mate, P2 at the moment, best middle sector.
Charles LECLERCI'm struggling with the left side of the aircraft, 5678, what do you recommend, flight keeping or flight not keeping?
EngineerWe'll come back to you.
EngineerHe's on a slow lap at the moment.
Nyck DE VRIESYeah, these used tires had a bit of a difference there.
EngineerI
Lewis HAMILTONfeel like there's something wrong with my right rear suspension.
George RUSSELLI think it was a bit of a one-off due to the bump.
EngineerOffset 4, main focus on braking, Yuki.
Lando NORRISAh, f***s it.
Lewis HAMILTONCan't get the temperature.
EngineerWe do have time in hand, so there's no pressure. My tyres aren't ready. Negative. We'll have to go for this lap.
Lewis HAMILTONDamn, this car's hard to drive, mate.
Alexander ALBONa really good car today. We did a really good job to turn it around, so I'm happy with that. I think we can't do that kind of outlet, that's just for us, but...
EngineerOK, so Oscar, we are P11, I'm afraid. P11. Yep.
Oscar PIASTRICopy. Have all.
EngineerPretty good, though. Good effort today. Really good effort. Thanks.
Oscar PIASTRIAnd I appreciate all the hard work from the boys. It's been a couple of late nights. Glad I finally got my act together and quality, so thank you.
EngineerAll good. We're definitely in a position to fight for points from here. Definitely in a position to fight for points.
EngineerOkay, so you got seven seconds to Tsunoda ahead, it should all be clear to open your lap. So don't forget to reset your brake balance.
EngineerSo you've got four ahead to Verstappen, he's going to be finishing his lap, so we'll go strat two, it's clear in sector three, six seconds behind, all clear to go, strat two.
George RUSSELLWhat did this happen to?
EngineerSo this happened at a 12.1
EngineerCurrently P1.
Fernando ALONSOGood. I'm pushing like an animal, mate.
EngineerI can see.
Pierre GASLYThat's the Delta to the Ferrari
EngineerBoat look low and signs to 11.7
George RUSSELLNot good enough.
EngineerI'm going to
George RUSSELLtry that last one.
Max VERSTAPPENOne click.
EngineerUnderstood, plus one.
George RUSSELLLet me know if it's viable to do the prep if sector one isn't what we need
Esteban OCONEveryone went late.
EngineerA real mix, a couple of cars went a bit earlier than us.
EngineerOh, can I go again or not? No, just happen in the chicane, leaving the chicane.
EngineerOh
Max VERSTAPPENmy god, I hit the wall two times.
EngineerWell done mate, your first ever pole, that was mighty.
Max VERSTAPPENWe needed to pull that one out the back, but very lovely.
EngineerWhat a last sector, unbelievable, well done mate.
Max VERSTAPPENI mean, I hit the wall pretty hard onto the straight.
EngineerOkay, so, P2, P2.
Charles LECLERCOh, f***!
Lewis HAMILTONGave it everything guys
EngineerWell done, yeah Well done guys. Well done. Yes Very good. Very very good. Feels a bit disappointing with the end, but yeah awesome
EngineerYeah, he just went away from us in that
George RUSSELLQ3 session.
EngineerYeah, thanks for your effort
Lando NORRISOkay, just be careful of other cars behind you. That's the node, they're very close behind. Oh, can I go again or not? Uh, no. Oh, fucks...
EngineerF***ing
Lando NORRISidiot.
Yuki TSUNODAWell, good job guys. I didn't expect that. I definitely enjoyed it. Thanks guys.
Audio only, no transcript
EngineerOkay mate, I think that's it in terms of cars finishing, so that's P7.
Pierre GASLYSorry I couldn't do the lap in Q3,
Engineerit
Pierre GASLYwas a struggle, but good for the team.
EngineerYeah, exactly.
