EngineerWe have a green light so we can go recharge off after turn five just to help sync gears as well
Lance STROLLYeah
EngineerBrake warming off.
ZHOU GuanyuLet me know when they recover. Doesn't feel too good in D-5. Let me know when they recover. Doesn't feel too good in D-5.
ZHOU GuanyuLet me know when they recover. Doesn't feel too good in detail time
ZHOU GuanyuIt feels really long, the pedal, but we'll see later.
ZHOU GuanyuBut did you get what I said? I mean, yes, yes, we are looking into it Through the corner. I'm pushing it more down and down more deeper deeper
EngineerFirst up and for behind you're pushing
George RUSSELLThe vibration of the rest
Alexander ALBONI'm just mainly mid-corner. I think a bit of that was just the front not being ready at the start of the lap.
EngineerWhat's your thoughts on the flap adjust? Plus 4?
Max VERSTAPPENYeah, that's right.
Yuki TSUNODAI think the Palace is not too far away, just building up pace I guess.
Kevin MAGNUSSENIt's
Engineera
Kevin MAGNUSSENbit of a still some understand mid-corner a few places 25 12
Max VERSTAPPENAre there any cars in front?
EngineerJust gasoline.
EngineerActually, it was just about to say, actually slightly quicker than PA on that one, a couple of hundredths quicker, so good job.
Liam LAWSONAt this rate we won't be what is he doing?
Max VERSTAPPENThe front wing like we have, is it a bit underweight for good normal or not?
EngineerWe have no reference really, Max, as you're aware.
Max VERSTAPPENBut a bit of reference from last year and out of tracks
Alexander ALBONWe do an outlet like that, we call a single call by the time I've done half the track.
EngineerI can't control the cars ahead.
Alexander ALBONI know, but if we called earlier than that, we would have been okay.
Yuki TSUNODAIf I make a reference for last push, we're missing, maybe it's not too far away to be honest.
EngineerYou need fast charge, fast charge, you need to do the in-lap for the charging.
Franco COLAPINTOYeah, I think I braked on the car or something
Franco COLAPINTOIt felt like I looked at the front or right bottom when I braked or something.
EngineerOk, we're looking.
EngineerOkay so on this outlet once we get going we're going to be looking to keep our top speed at about 200 kph going down to turn 5 so nice and steady down there and then we're going to look to be nice and gentle throttle application out of 5 and 7.
Charles LECLERCWhat's going on? I
Engineerdon't know taking ages. Yeah taking ages
Charles LECLERCI don't have tire temperature.
EngineerCopy.
Sergio PEREZA bit of a limitation. Fanac Moner is quite in the rear now.
Lando NORRISI don't know if it was just traffic, had a lot of traffic at 9, so I didn't feel as bad.
EngineerPurple C13, position 12. Purple C13, position 12. We've boxed this lap.
Carlos SAINZIt's just a scrappy lap with the traffic in
EngineerSector 1 and Sector 3.
Lewis HAMILTON61 is only a few corners, where is that time?
EngineerTurn 1, mid speed
EngineerOkay
EngineerTry and learn what you can, but happy to bail.
Lando NORRISYeah, I will bail.
Charles LECLERCAnd box Charles, box. It's
Engineera
Charles LECLERCvery short preparation, we need to anticipate things a bit more, so yeah.
Pierre GASLYYeah, I think I'm not too sure about the front bar we're having at the moment. It just feels a bit lazy, the front.
Yuki TSUNODAI would say a bit better, I would say similar balance as first push, but it would go better a little bit.
EngineerUnderstood.
EngineerWe're looking at 11.11 time lapse please Max.
EngineerDRS off.
Charles LECLERCI was overtaking.
EngineerShould I just follow Max or back off? I think you can follow Max. He's going to open a gap.
Alexander ALBONLuke, can we try something for 13 and 14?
EngineerTest orange pork 10, orange pork 10. And Oscar, your turn nine is very strong. Just make sure that doesn't start pushing to understeer.
Engineercan you let me drive without modes or i get to get into a real movie yeah that was a test item and then we can do what we want
EngineerOK, much better than 6.7 Z-slop, reminder track limit is 21, marginal.
Liam LAWSONYeah, if it's marginal, it's not a track limit.
Jack DOOHANEasy, can I make
Engineerit
Jack DOOHANmore room or do I have to stay this close?
EngineerJust keep your pace up please, let's make sure we get the flag.
Charles LECLERCI think we did too many laps on those tyres before long running them. They were quite a bit damaged
EngineerAnd once you've got that, C12 for 240 kph.
George RUSSELLQuite a lot of vibrations with the rack.
EngineerUnderstood.
EngineerWas that too much pressure? Is that why I locked the front right? Yeah, you locked both front and rear there. So just being a little bit too ambitious I think on that braking point
EngineerSorry, engine drivability low RPM, was that Max?
Max VERSTAPPENYeah, it's not powering. It's still the understeer, it's ridiculous.
George RUSSELLCopy, it's still reasonably toasty.
EngineerCopy that.
EngineerMax, how is the ride, please?
Max VERSTAPPENWell, it's bad. It's really my problem. The front axle is not working.
Charles LECLERCI don't know if I destroyed the black.
EngineerAnd we'll check box Charles box.
Max VERSTAPPENYeah, the front axle still doesn't grip up.
Charles LECLERCAh, half of the grid is freaking slipping.
EngineerCopy. They are in the middle of the way. Four.
Max VERSTAPPENUm, R23, I hit the quite hard, like, on the blank, for your information.
EngineerInformation received, thank you.
EngineerThe
Charles LECLERCinstalls
Engineerare
Charles LECLERCvery much great.
EngineerCurrently, you are managing turn 15 more than others.
George RUSSELLWhat do you mean, currently? I've done one lap.
EngineerPiastri 29.2
Charles LECLERCYeah, they are so close
George RUSSELLThree is just moving everywhere, just sliding their shoes about.
Oscar PIASTRIIf we can have two stops like that on Sunday, we'll be pretty happy.
