EngineerOkay so limit the number of times you pull forwards, that's the green light. So remember you can't inhibit, you've got to stay on that left hand side, two burnouts and a start at the pit out.
Pierre GASLYI need something to clean the interior of my visor, I need something to clean the interior of my visor, it's not clean.
EngineerCopy that, we'll get something for you.
Kevin MAGNUSSENTires came out of the plank list again and I have cold
ZHOU GuanyuHave a look at the shift, it's very harsh, upshift.
EngineerHave it Joe. We will have a look on it.
EngineerIt's a day for control. I whisper.
Lewis HAMILTONIs it a tailwind into Turn 1?
EngineerYeah it's pretty still, slight tailwind if anything but yeah it's pretty still into Turn 1 just from lap to the grid.
EngineerSo it's a hot one out here today mate, but we know we're trying to bias our setup towards race conditions So let's stay focused and see what we can do
EngineerIt
Lewis HAMILTONwasn't that good.
George RUSSELLNice job, mate.
Audio only, no transcript
Kevin MAGNUSSENIf you see what Archon did at the exit of 8, first lap, completely put me on the grass.
Kevin MAGNUSSENOkay, so it was ghastly on that one. That's our code.
EngineerUnderstood.
Yuki TSUNODAThe car is moving out of the braking.
Alexander ALBONThere's oil coming out the back of Valtteri's car!
George RUSSELLI
Engineerthink
George RUSSELLI need to push high speed a bit more, it's too on my nose.
Kevin MAGNUSSENI have no real grip, that's my problem.
EngineerCopy.
EngineerOkay, good job. Hulkenberg next.
EngineerLook at the 12. This is unbelievable. Yeah, copy that, Nico. We see it.
EngineerFor your awareness, Russell and Prez are fighting behind me It's okay man, I'll just... Let me just focus, I can see
EngineerSo Max Norris still pushing extremely hard in six and seven almost three tenths in there
Logan SARGEANTThis damn train man
EngineerRemember learnings for tomorrow, learnings
George RUSSELLBit dropped at the moment, just
Engineersliding along by, thank you Affirmative, see casing starting to drop it now
EngineerAre the brakes going or something? Because they feel like there's no view. They're just a little bit cold, so we'll look at adding blend. Stand by.
EngineerNiko, delay full throttle at 11, will help 12 a little bit.
Nico HULKENBERGYeah, it will help. It will help a lot, my friend. Tires are down. They're coped.
EngineerOkay, understood.
Fernando ALONSOYeah, he touched me. I'm working for six.
EngineerYeah, copy, copy.
George RUSSELLThe pace of our guys ahead is well fast!
EngineerWe have to make a decision here, if we are going to push the high speed or not. Yes, we are going to push the high speed Max, I've been telling you for the last three laps, Norris is two and a half tenths quicker than you in six and seven.
EngineerAnd if there's a safety car, you will go behind three cars that are lapping 1, 1.3 seconds slower than you, and we will use soft. Would you take it?
Daniel RICCIARDOIt's
Engineerthe
Daniel RICCIARDOreal, real scary water beaches.
Pierre GASLYGuys, I've got no rear grip, just help me!
Nico HULKENBERGWhat's gonna go on at the apex of turn 4?
EngineerI
Nico HULKENBERGgot a massive clap on the face at the apex every lap.
Lando NORRISWhat line is he doing in the last corner, is he like wide or cutting the apex? I'll
Engineercome back to you Yeah,
Lando NORRISI should have had it already you know, you have to look at one corner Copy
EngineerLando, he's not taking much care, he's just a bit better out of the corner on throttle
EngineerYes, so turn 11 is Tailwind.
Logan SARGEANTI flat-spotted my front right
EngineerSun's too hot. Let's get him
EngineerThat was some fun. Nice job.
Max VERSTAPPENYeah, good race. I think we executed that well. Much better than last year. Yeah, well done, Max. That's a great start to the weekend. Well done. A lot of good information there.
EngineerThat's Pichu, Pichu.
Lando NORRISYeah, I know, just didn't have the pace in the end. Too much dead comparing to him, but good effort.
EngineerYeah, good job man.
EngineerYeah, I think you managed that well Max, looked after the tyres in the right places at the right time Obviously still have plenty to go, 14.7 on the last lap is very strong Let's say Norris gave up the ghost, Checo 15.5 last lap, Russell 16.9 That was their pace at the end, Leclerc 16.5
Max VERSTAPPENYeah, much stronger now
EngineerThankfully
EngineerCan't be very very close, yeah Benign I
Daniel RICCIARDOunderstood Yeah, sorry guys
EngineerYeah, I share your frustration. But anyway, it was still a good encounter.
EngineerThat's a lot of learning I'm sure. I know, a lot of learning I'm sure. Well done Logan, it's all good learning for tomorrow, it'll be a bit cooler, we can come back stronger, but lots to talk about.
Audio only, no transcript
EngineerAlright Alex, it was nice to move forward. It's going to be cooler tomorrow, more opportunity. Good learning.
Alexander ALBONYeah, there's a few good things in that, that I felt better so I don't forgive me that advice.
EngineerYeah, it wasn't easy out there with the managing and so on. Let's tidy up for tomorrow
EngineerYuki P6, I'm speechless, fantastic race, congratulations, fantastic.
Yuki TSUNODAIt was not easy, yeah, congrats. Charles pushed me off in turn 2, definitely, he didn't leave me any space.
EngineerCopy that John, we will mention it.
Yuki TSUNODABye, well done guys, I'll make it up the points we lost in Mexico.
EngineerYeah, definitely. Thank you.
Pierre GASLYYeah, we're kind of just missing so much rear grip like I can't touch the throttle Just was spinning everywhere Yeah, well discussed in the office, but Tricky just Sliding way too much
EngineerYep, copy that mate tricky afternoon. We'll have a chat when you're back and work on tomorrow
EngineerYeah, good job. Good comms and everything, so cheers. I'll take that. Just need to be a bit quicker. That's a look at me.
EngineerThat's P4. Good job at the start there. Nice overtaking, some nice moves. It's a shame we dropped
George RUSSELLaway from us. Yeah, well I don't think we did all we could then. A lot to look at tonight. Try and find that pace.
EngineerYeah, copy that.
George RUSSELLWhat was the pace of Max and Lando at the end?
EngineerMax at the end was doing 14.8, 14.7. And Norris was doing 15.3, 15.4.
George RUSSELLWowza. OK.
EngineerThat was a great start, shame we couldn't make that stick in turn four and we've got some learning for tomorrow but a bit more understanding on these tyres, we'll go again tomorrow in the race.
EngineerI actually thought it was the checkered flag, you can go to both. I didn't know it was the last step. Okay, copy, sorry.
Nico HULKENBERGWow, lost for words. Absolutely lost for words here.
EngineerYeah, copy that. Got lots to look at tonight for tomorrow.
EngineerSo Sainz got the last point in P8, Hamilton
