Fernando ALONSOBreakpedal is going on.
EngineerLooks like there's two cars ahead of you, Oscar. Expect Fernando to drive straight out. He's got some aero rakes fitted.
George RUSSELLI'm afraid that was a little bit long.
EngineerA
George RUSSELLbit of vibration through the steering rack.
EngineerThere you go.
George RUSSELLThe brake pedal is a little bit long.
EngineerThat's good, we'll have a look.
Pierre GASLYThe pit exit is too tight on the exit.
EngineerCopy that.
EngineerOkay, so we'll go recharge off, reset your shape, and let's go for our first push.
ZHOU GuanyuIt's
Engineera
ZHOU Guanyuvibration, Mr. Swans.
EngineerHave
ZHOU Guanyua look.
EngineerCopy, Joe. We try to have a look.
EngineerIf
George RUSSELLI break it, I'll break it.
Audio only, no transcript
EngineerHe has a face to you behind.
Yuki TSUNODAWhat happened to us?
EngineerStroll 7 is a...
EngineerMax. Gasly is at 6.5, Max.
EngineerPushing behind we have Stroll, Russell now six seconds, Russell
EngineerSo I'm going to turn behind.
EngineerGasly at 3.
Engineerno push increase the gap to a cone at the moment we have two seconds gap is okay
Engineerthat reach hold off when you're ready let's not see if ghazly yeah let's get parted to ghazly
Engineerto worry about just oscar ahead to go and no one else behind
Sergio PEREZI'm generally very happy with the car. I'm just lacking a little bit of rotation. I'm very happy with the car.
EngineerI'm
Sergio PEREZreally happy with the car. I'm just lacking a little bit of rotation.
Lewis HAMILTONYes, brake pedals are really long.
EngineerOK, copy.
EngineerAt last, we think left toggle for six and nine on the next lap. Left toggle for turn six and nine on the next lap. Tsunoda seven behind.
George RUSSELLDo you want to do one more lap or did it make no sense?
George RUSSELLYou want to do one more level? It makes no sense.
EngineerGood boxes, man.
Pierre GASLYYeah, all the talk is wrong
EngineerYep, copy that mate, so we'll box this lat Let's go recharge on if you can do an aero P4 fifth gear out of two P4 fifth gear
Nico HULKENBERGWell, we're smoking the plank on the back straight there.
EngineerOkay, understood.
Esteban OCONIt wasn't too bad, just feel like I lost the reels a little bit in the
Engineersecond to last corner Understood, so now we're done
EngineerOscar, for a pit stop flap adjust, what would you do?
Oscar PIASTRII wouldn't go up, it's quite pointy, so if anything I'd go down, but I honestly think it's in a reasonable place.
Engineerif possible out of turn ten purple c3 position four purple c3 position four fourth gear careful of Perez who's about two seconds behind
Sergio PEREZI can see that potentially we will have a problem getting into the high speed.
EngineerMost cars are on the medium. There's a couple of soft runners at the front I was balanced that time watch for Joe behinds, please His GPS location doesn't look to be accurate. So keep your eye on your mirrors. He's on a slow lap
Engineeri lean on the front left it's on the low side but we're getting there so okay to push
EngineerOkay, Kev, so it'll be mode in once you cross the line. And then can we have a CSL2 after turn two? That's 100 kph. Next car is 12 seconds behind.
EngineerBut I got confused with the sign
ZHOU GuanyuI thought you told me to go ahead.
Yuki TSUNODAYes, I feel like I'm already looking at the end of the braking in turn 3.
EngineerOk, so let's do entry 7 instead of the offset.
George RUSSELLBrakes feel better.
EngineerCopy.
Fernando ALONSOYes, that was the core activity intent, yep.
Audio only, no transcript
Alexander ALBONGenerally the car's quite lazy, lacking quite a lot of fun bite, fun initial braking, feels like I'm down on load on
Engineerthe
Alexander ALBONfront when
EngineerI hit the brakes. We'll just watch POTAX F5 then it's quiet.
George RUSSELLI have lots of sparks, 8 out of 11, I think I'll run over some stones.
Lando NORRISYeah, I would just check the floor because I bottomed out pretty bad. Yeah,
Engineerokay.
Sergio PEREZI'm picking up a bit of understeer. Let's
Engineergo
Sergio PEREZhelp my plan.
EngineerYeah, copy. Norris at five seconds.
EngineerThere's something very slippery in the pit box. I keep locking the front sort of halfway through my braking
Sergio PEREZShall we try the engine
Engineerbraking? So, we have an engine braking Black
Sergio PEREZdoes it
Pierre GASLYAlright, just have it pull on grip.
EngineerWe'll just keep working the tires. The surface temps are on the cold side.
Engineerso we're happy to go rearwards on the offset so we could go offset minus three
Nico HULKENBERGWe're using, I guess, a lot of lap time there going down to 2.9.
EngineerI
Nico HULKENBERGthink that error balance is scrubbing the front more.
EngineerSome weaving and nice braking.
EngineerThe wind is similar to the one before, all clear from behind, all clear.
Sergio PEREZI think we're just working on a very new style, but yeah.
Engineer3 behind Call report Ok what's happening Daniel? Let's ride with the front 3 behind, start pushing 3 behind
EngineerOkay Lance, cool, cool, P2, purple middle sector, do you want to third push Lance?
Lance STROLLIt's really difficult on three and four.
EngineerI
Lance STROLLdon't know if you have any ideas. Help me with tools. Just feels like a balance is a bit everywhere.
EngineerYeah, copy what I think.
Carlos SAINZYeah, the feeling on landing at higher is not greatest, similar to 22.
Engineerand just throw TAS aborted in front, and just throw pushing 6 seconds behind
EngineerJust confirm everything alright with the car?
George RUSSELLYeah, fine.
EngineerCan I help you?
Valtteri BOTTASYeah, I'll get it.
EngineerOkay, copy.
George RUSSELLHold on, front under rotation into turn three,
EngineerScott.
George RUSSELLOoh, what did the high speed look like there?
Daniel RICCIARDOYes, so turn 6 is where I had a lot of understeer.
Logan SARGEANTWell, I don't know what's happened with the tire.
EngineerOkay, yeah,
Alexander ALBONsorry
EngineerAlbon's on the outside of turn 8.
Lando NORRISYes, Mitchell Sturbury, worth checking the tyres. Is he alright? He looks pretty large.
EngineerHe said he's okay, yeah.
Audio only, no transcript
Lando NORRISWell, you should have green lights earlier. I want to be first and now I'm f***ing lost.
EngineerMagic for front lockup.
George RUSSELLThat's what I felt on the fast
Engineerlap before.
EngineerIt's quite clear ahead. You're looking good. Ocon's still nine seconds back.
EngineerGasly, for a second, we'll go for a live P-stop, live P-stop.
Max VERSTAPPENOh, but they're not quite hard there.
EngineerUnderstood.
EngineerCan you repeat the job, please Vibration
ZHOU Guanyuquite a lot
Yuki TSUNODAI would say both are so different from how I mainly left off.
Carlos SAINZOh, I just got that, by the house behind, I think, with his front wing.
EngineerCopy.
Yuki TSUNODAI started to see a pond left crying.
EngineerDaniel is low fuel. Low fuel, correct.
Engineerand mode raise when you can mode raise when you can
Logan SARGEANTI think flap was okay. I feel like I needed more flap to protect the front. I have the front left opening up. But the problem was this veer snatching again. And the problem is it's not just low speed, but also high.
Pierre GASLYIs the first gear learned?
EngineerWe're still missing first gear. Still missing first. We have it now.
Max VERSTAPPENI think my floor is damaged.
Lewis HAMILTON5 damage to floor.
EngineerOK, we'll take a look.
EngineerOscar, in lap, out of turn 6, could we have purple C7 position 3, 160 kph?
EngineerIt's
Oscar PIASTRIprobably the worst place, that Red Bull could have stopped.
EngineerCopy.
EngineerNow the ewer target plus two, initial throttle slightly aggressive.
EngineerNo pit stop, no practice pit stop, so just follow the directions of the guys.
