EngineerCan you
Lewis HAMILTONhear me?
EngineerI can hear you, yep, that was 9-4 Didn't
Lewis HAMILTONhear anyone, didn't hear anything you said
EngineerOK, so Hupkenberg is 6 seconds behind, so we've got 5, 6 cars now leaving the pits
EngineerThe wind is similar to what we discussed before, so it's around crosswind of the back straight and the intensity is varying quite a bit.
Daniel RICCIARDOYep, understood.
EngineerSo Lance, ideally for us you take more gap early and push a bit more in the faster corners, end of the lap, your delta's good.
EngineerLet's just get that delta time negative when you can.
Nico HULKENBERGYeah, I have to let by a car, relax. It's gonna catch up.
George RUSSELLJob, I can hear you in my lap. Don't know what's going on, but I can hear all
Engineerthe
George RUSSELLengineers. Drop
Engineerthe
George RUSSELLbox.
EngineerFocus on bringing the rear tyres down, bringing the rear tyres down, try not to lose too much front tyre temp.
EngineerOkay, we need to get, we need to get that Delta Yeah, he's right in front of me man I know man, I know I can't call Yeah, you need to do it between the safety car lines, you need to do it between the safety car lines Drop some time now, but you need to do it between the safety car lines, okay?
Yuki TSUNODAWhat the? Come on, man.
EngineerWhat?
Charles LECLERCAnd Penalty for Mr. Russell, thank you.
EngineerI
Lewis HAMILTONhave to check my front wing, another driver's blocked me and we touched.
EngineerOK, we'll check that.
Logan SARGEANTHad a new rear group on the second lap
EngineerWhat
Logan SARGEANTdid I miss?
EngineerMy cutoff was 36.7 That's four and a half tenths
Logan SARGEANTWhere did Alec find all the time?
EngineerSo turn one you were quicker than him 3 tenths turn 5, 2 turn 9 10th and a half turn 11 10th turn 12 10th and a half turn 15 and a tenth turn 19
EngineerAnd we have wind phase 8. Wind phase 8. Slightly stronger intensity than previous run.
Charles LECLERCBrian, do you agree with that toggle?
EngineerWe'll come back to you. Reminder numbers on the dash. And gap to Pérez, 10.
EngineerFrom our side we need to use the tools to focus on the rear locking and the rear tyres, so think about the brake balance for 11, white button if you need and the diff mid.
EngineerNow
Lance STROLLthe tires are done let's
Engineerdo our best let's bring them down let's cool the tires and think about your switches
EngineerOK Lando, how was the lap?
Lando NORRISYeah, I'm... I mean I'm happy. I don't think I'm going to improve on that.
EngineerOK, understood. For the moment, just assume it's double cool please.
Charles LECLERCIt's still not clear to me what am I supposed to do when I'm close to the Delta, but I have traffic of people slowing down. Can I slow down or what? I can't.
EngineerYou need to respect the Delta.
Audio only, no transcript
Daniel RICCIARDOSorry for another P-11.
ZHOU GuanyuThey're f***ing asking Martin f***ing me now, what the f***? Man, they're asking Martin! Who was this? Forget it, Joe. Need to turn 4-15, is he having a laugh? Who was that? Joe! Yeah, confirm. And we finish P-15, Joe. I don't know how much you do it right now, but I know you're gonna have time to pick up the game. Copy, Joe. We'll review later.
Engineerlet's let's try to open double the gap you did last time at the sc2 line if you can double the gap
EngineerAs a reminder, soft tyres can probably get a slightly cooler temperature.
EngineerOk Lando, delta and a reminder, plus 1A from turn 12 to turn 16. That's plus 1A turn 12 to turn 16
EngineerAnd that's P1 as well, fuel in hand as well, nice job.
Max VERSTAPPENYeah, not bad considering the issues, but all good.
EngineerYeah, well done Max, that's half a tenth ahead of Charles.
Audio only, no transcript
Lewis HAMILTONGood job lads. This is an improvement. We're slowly getting there.
Oscar PIASTRIYep. Yeah, thank you. The lap was, well, considerably better than yesterday, but yeah, looked pretty tight. So thank you.
Charles LECLERCTo the earthy, this lump. How far are we behind the Staten, I think?
EngineerSix hundredths. I
Charles LECLERCmean, it was a good lump anyway.
EngineerOkay, yeah, it was always difficult, P10 at the moment I keep focusing on your Delta and we are boxing this lap, all clear from traffic so I'll see you in the pit lane, go to park for me please Yep,
Pierre GASLYalways knew it was going to be difficult with the use set, so get some guys this afternoon and get some points this afternoon
EngineerCopy that, not forget to switch off the car, so P1 and then wait 5 seconds on P0 please
EngineerThat was a very tidy lap Lewis, just got George to finish, but that's P3 mate, so that's pretty good results, 7 hundredths to Verstappen P1.
EngineerYeah, P-7.
Sergio PEREZYep. Copy.
EngineerOkay Alex, everyone's finished laps now, so we're at P9 ahead of Gasly. Okay, well done everyone. Pretty much perfect, so mega job mate. Well done Alex, very impressive last lap.
Alexander ALBONYeah, thank you. We just had everything together today, so that was good, well done. We executed that very well.
EngineerEat the pumpkin spice latte, I suspect.
Alexander ALBONI'll get you one tomorrow.
