Pierre GASLYSteering is slightly bent right hand side, down.
EngineerOK.
George RUSSELLPires were pretty cold out the blankets.
EngineerYeah understood, we saw the same.
Max VERSTAPPENYeah, he's, I don't know, he's no doubt again.
Audio only, no transcript
Alexander ALBONJust to make sure the phone's okay out of turn 13.
EngineerOkay, understood. So the plan for here is to do another fast slope fast, then on the in-lap we'd like to push on some of the straights without DRS, just to get a read on that. I'll ask you which ones and where as we go.
Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, quite low grip, particularly the rear.
EngineerCopy that.
EngineerPerez three and purple c7 position five purple c7 five
EngineerWe need a double cool to go back and I guess so yeah because these guys are all pushing now so science five behind on a push
Esteban OCONYeah, very loose balance entry of four there
George RUSSELLThinking I might be a little bit overbalanced. I'll go again now and see. Copy
Engineerthat.
Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, so, yeah, it was the same, that lap, really low rear grip.
Audio only, no transcript
EngineerOk, we are checking, the other car has a similar issue with the snaps
Charles LECLERCI'm really struggling in high speed, I don't know if you see how tricky the car is Yeah
Engineerit's really on the edge
Nico HULKENBERGOkay, do you have this data picked up? Yeah, I know the X.
Sergio PEREZWhat are the time losses?
EngineerOur main losses are in sector 1, 3.5km in sector 1, 2km in sector 2
EngineerI
Carlos SAINZthink the truck is getting slower with the wind on the... on the temperature.
EngineerUnderstood.
Yuki TSUNODAI think the balance is good at high speed, slow speed turn 3 and last chicane, especially turn 16, first part of the chicane.
EngineerOK, for rear locking in turn four, we could go torque 10.
Pierre GASLYYeah, I really feel it's at the peak when I hit the brakes.
George RUSSELLCan you check the high speed if it's working as you expect?
EngineerSo George we're happy if high speed is working as expected and you can add more support in the high speed if you need that
Daniel RICCIARDOAround a little wide, Exeter 13, just to check, I think it's fine, just to check.
Sergio PEREZWe're taking a bit of rotation in the low speed.
Lewis HAMILTONIt's
Engineera
Lewis HAMILTONbit twisted in that, front
Engineertoo far to the left.
EngineerAlright, toggle 16 for stability.
Pierre GASLYBit of through corner balance, gen 3, and then same in 4, bit of oversteer, trim, understeer mid-corner, and bit tricky traction.
EngineerOk, copy that. Not
Pierre GASLYtoo bad.
EngineerIt's clear, but it's a quick question we have rain approaching
Yuki TSUNODAI feel like it's gonna be first push time, but how do you think? Still happy to do second push?
EngineerOscar, we're going to go to high fuel now. As a team we're keen to split between the cars and Lando's already done the medium so that puts you on the soft.
Lando NORRISYeah, just check the floor again. Alright then.
EngineerUnderstood.
Pierre GASLYYeah, I lost everything like from 10-9 onwards.
EngineerA
Pierre GASLYcouple of degrees, about 3-4 degrees on the wheel.
EngineerOk Daniel, heads up, we have rain coming for the very end of session, around 15 to 20 minutes from now
EngineerOk Daniel, heads up, we have rain coming for the very end of session, around 15 to 20 minutes from now
EngineerSuggest brake valve forwards. Brake valve forwards on Orange Torque 10. Protect the rays.
EngineerProtect front left turn 15 protect front left turn 15
EngineerAnd Lando, rain expected in 10 minutes. It would hit the stow end of the circuit first.
EngineerAnd Lando, rain expected in 10 minutes. It would hit the stow end of the circuit first.
EngineerTurn seven consider back right toggle stability
EngineerOscar we expect rain in four minutes we expect rain in four minutes if you will learn more by pit stop for medium that's okay
EngineerAnd Lando, when the rain hits, it could become quite heavy quite quickly, so we'll take no risk.
EngineerConsider straight 4, another step for rotation, we have rain coming in 2 to 3 laps, we keep an eye
Yuki TSUNODASpoiler on this day, at high speed especially.
EngineerOkay, Ren is with us in two minutes will touch us
EngineerAnd this rain is expected to be class 2 to 3, different from the rain earlier, so we shouldn't take risks.
EngineerYeah, absolutely. It's a trade-off. It might not be wet in P3. Let's see what we get in a few moments.
EngineerAnd loose rain is imminent it'll hit turn 15 first, but we'll stay out on this tyre
EngineerRain, report all around. You can box if you want to. I appreciate I'm late.
Lewis HAMILTONIt's back, it's fine, it's slow.
Carlos SAINZAnyone else? Other? Lando only. For Lando!
