Australian Grand Prix2024 · Practice 3 team radio

EngineerAnd we can have purple C7 position 6, that's 200 kph, we want that up to turn 9.

EngineerTurn 11 to 13, purple C7, position 8.

EngineerThe Sauber ahead is scrubbing tyres so expect it to pit at the end of the lap.

EngineerGood speed on the straight all the way up to nine. We'll focus on a gap in the last sector

EngineerOK, that's slow now for now. You can back off.

Max VERSTAPPENMy brakes are not working. They're not biting.

EngineerUnderstood. Can you continue or do we have to replace it?

Max VERSTAPPENI'll try again, but just check.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, I don't

Engineerknow

Max VERSTAPPENabout this, but let's try again.

EngineerOkay, I'm watching but you might back off a bit early before 10-9 this time

EngineerPurple C7 position 6, 200 kph into turn 9.

EngineerAnd we have wind phase 5, 7 to 10 kph, lower than yesterday.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, LaFront, LaSat, LaSector, basically from 11 onwards.

EngineerYeah, go further.

Alexander ALBONFeels like the rears are grainy a little bit and the front two weren't ready to turn to one or ten three

EngineerAnd you can drive this out like exactly like you want it

EngineerDoing a good job with the turning, keep focusing on the sharp turning, good warm-up on the brakes.

EngineerOK Lewis, so that's 1.5 off Verstappen, he was on the medium tyre, quite a lot of straight line difference there.

Lewis HAMILTON1.1 on straight line.

Engineerurgent blue seven position five blue seven position five

EngineerSo all the losses were coming in the second half of the lap there, turn line onwards.

Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, so for that lap, I did still have a bit, yeah, too much lap.

EngineerYeah,

Alexander ALBONI mean, I'm not going to learn much. It's going to lose me confidence with this long one, basically.

EngineerAnd if we can go recharge off for a couple seconds.

EngineerYeah, so we think that's a pretty good for a single collapse so happy to push next time

EngineerOK, mate, we have Verstappen seven seconds behind. He could well be high fuel.

EngineerSo currently P6, 1.3 to Sainz

Lewis HAMILTONWhere is all that time at?

Engineer7 tenths straight line

Alexander ALBONThe driver's ability is really bad, in my opinion. What caused it? Everywhere.

EngineerAnd Valtteri, we have now Joe four tenths quicker, and most of that is in turn nine. Focus on earlier braking and earlier brake and release.

Charles LECLERCThere's one thing that is certain, is that you get an Aston Martin at one point in the middle, all the f***ing time.

EngineerCopy.

George RUSSELLWhat do you suggest by that? The mediums

Engineerquicker?

George RUSSELLI

Engineercan't say the medium runners have got the top four positions.

EngineerAnd are you happy with the front wing?

Pierre GASLYYeah, I just need more grip like it's not a okay

Engineercopy that

EngineerWhat you did there was good for Tyus.

EngineerAnd there's a little bit of time to gain turn four compared to Esteban

EngineerPass gear, click overtake, two-tire whammy, target two shallow.

EngineerVery good. Back to position one, please. Position one. We come through the pit lane for practice start. Science is at seven.

EngineerThat's restarting.

Pierre GASLYThat was a pretty scary snap in 10-9.

Yuki TSUNODAI think the balance I had in the second push was better.

Pierre GASLYYes.

EngineerAnd we have same direction in terms of wind, slightly higher intensity.

EngineerAnd red button.

Engineerso you've got a little potentially i'll get the deck he's in three seconds back now let's get behind him thermal thermal thing

EngineerDo

Charles LECLERCwe have one more lap or not?

EngineerNo, not one more lap. If you push next lap, yes.

EngineerAnd so I've got opportunities, tenth in turn one.

EngineerStraight out. Track is clear.

Alexander ALBONThe rays are totally gone, totally gone after 10-9.

Alexander ALBONIt feels like we put a lot of energy on the car, on the wheels, on braking everywhere.

EngineerIt's an 11, there's a lot of rail locking and it's feeling there is intersectionary.

EngineerThat is P3 currently. Purple Sector 1.

Oscar PIASTRIIt's amazing what happens when you stop being an idiot in Term 1.

EngineerUnderstood.

George RUSSELLGuys, I always find Lewis has **** points in the track, every time.

George RUSSELLThe final downshift into turn 11 is really poor. Can you give me a switch change?

Engineer10.13 was the wind difference there. I just got a much bigger understeer there. We'll get back to you, Guzran. Yeah, understood. Hamilton six seconds behind time lap.

EngineerSo I'm about to understeer by a

ZHOU Guanyumassive understeer, guys.

Engineerand minor white eight nine position or white eight nine position or

George RUSSELLTower ship, who's better?

Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, so because of the instability, I come off the brake, and that brings me with too much speed, but yeah, the problem's still that instability.

EngineerGood, we keep checking.

EngineerThe reminder to reset your shape and then we'll go recharge off and we'll go for our first push

EngineerI

Sergio PEREZwas too close to the science attic.

EngineerRight, so after turn 8 we would like to use DRS just to try and bring some temperature to the front

EngineerWhen the purple first sector or reference on that soft good job

EngineerEasy on rear left. That's good job. This is the gap. Let's pull the rear left down in 11 and we need good brake temp.

Max VERSTAPPENI don't know why in the house it's kind of faster, compared to the medium, the tires move around too much

EngineerOK, understood

EngineerAnd then just same toggle usage around the left.

Sergio PEREZOh, they don't seem to be really good.

EngineerTwo. No break. Gasly at two and a half seconds.

Sergio PEREZWe will not get another lap.

EngineerWe won't get another lap, but I want to have a look at sector one. Got Magnussen and then Leclerc, two and a half seconds. One coming through, Leclerc just behind. And then turn.

EngineerRussell Outlap coming on DRS.

EngineerSo that was quite a good lap. I saw that you had to be the traffic at the beginning for sector But yeah overall good traffic everywhere

EngineerOkay Kev, so let's go to the cool the car, cool the car please, cool the car as much as you can.

EngineerI was going to launch feedback. That was 1% shallow and timing was late.

EngineerWeybridge, Weybridge, that's an official call to the Weybridge marks.
