Every message, in the order it happened
Pierre GASLY: Steering is slightly bent right hand side, down.
Engineer: OK.
George RUSSELL: Pires were pretty cold out the blankets.
Engineer: Yeah understood, we saw the same.
Max VERSTAPPEN: Yeah, he's, I don't know, he's no doubt again.
Audio only, no transcript available for this message.
Alexander ALBON: Just to make sure the phone's okay out of turn 13.
Engineer: Okay, 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 RICCIARDO: Yeah, quite low grip, particularly the rear.
Engineer: Copy that.
Engineer: Perez three and purple c7 position five purple c7 five
Engineer: We 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 OCON: Yeah, very loose balance entry of four there
George RUSSELL: Thinking I might be a little bit overbalanced. I'll go again now and see. Copy
Engineer: that.
Daniel RICCIARDO: Yeah, so, yeah, it was the same, that lap, really low rear grip.
Audio only, no transcript available for this message.
Engineer: Ok, we are checking, the other car has a similar issue with the snaps
Charles LECLERC: I'm really struggling in high speed, I don't know if you see how tricky the car is Yeah
Engineer: it's really on the edge
Nico HULKENBERG: Okay, do you have this data picked up? Yeah, I know the X.
Sergio PEREZ: What are the time losses?
Engineer: Our main losses are in sector 1, 3.5km in sector 1, 2km in sector 2
Engineer: I
Carlos SAINZ: think the truck is getting slower with the wind on the... on the temperature.
Engineer: Understood.
Yuki TSUNODA: I think the balance is good at high speed, slow speed turn 3 and last chicane, especially turn 16, first part of the chicane.
Engineer: OK, for rear locking in turn four, we could go torque 10.
Pierre GASLY: Yeah, I really feel it's at the peak when I hit the brakes.
George RUSSELL: Can you check the high speed if it's working as you expect?
Engineer: So 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 RICCIARDO: Around a little wide, Exeter 13, just to check, I think it's fine, just to check.
Sergio PEREZ: We're taking a bit of rotation in the low speed.
Lewis HAMILTON: It's
Engineer: a
Lewis HAMILTON: bit twisted in that, front
Engineer: too far to the left.
Engineer: Alright, toggle 16 for stability.
Pierre GASLY: Bit of through corner balance, gen 3, and then same in 4, bit of oversteer, trim, understeer mid-corner, and bit tricky traction.
Engineer: Ok, copy that. Not
Pierre GASLY: too bad.
Engineer: It's clear, but it's a quick question we have rain approaching
Yuki TSUNODA: I feel like it's gonna be first push time, but how do you think? Still happy to do second push?
Engineer: Oscar, 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 NORRIS: Yeah, just check the floor again. Alright then.
Engineer: Understood.
Pierre GASLY: Yeah, I lost everything like from 10-9 onwards.
Engineer: A
Pierre GASLY: couple of degrees, about 3-4 degrees on the wheel.
Engineer: Ok Daniel, heads up, we have rain coming for the very end of session, around 15 to 20 minutes from now
Engineer: Ok Daniel, heads up, we have rain coming for the very end of session, around 15 to 20 minutes from now
Engineer: Suggest brake valve forwards. Brake valve forwards on Orange Torque 10. Protect the rays.
Engineer: Protect front left turn 15 protect front left turn 15
Engineer: And Lando, rain expected in 10 minutes. It would hit the stow end of the circuit first.
Engineer: And Lando, rain expected in 10 minutes. It would hit the stow end of the circuit first.
Engineer: Turn seven consider back right toggle stability
Engineer: Oscar 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
Engineer: And Lando, when the rain hits, it could become quite heavy quite quickly, so we'll take no risk.
Engineer: Consider straight 4, another step for rotation, we have rain coming in 2 to 3 laps, we keep an eye
Yuki TSUNODA: Spoiler on this day, at high speed especially.
Engineer: Okay, Ren is with us in two minutes will touch us
Engineer: And this rain is expected to be class 2 to 3, different from the rain earlier, so we shouldn't take risks.
Engineer: Yeah, absolutely. It's a trade-off. It might not be wet in P3. Let's see what we get in a few moments.
Engineer: And loose rain is imminent it'll hit turn 15 first, but we'll stay out on this tyre
Engineer: Rain, report all around. You can box if you want to. I appreciate I'm late.
Lewis HAMILTON: It's back, it's fine, it's slow.
Carlos SAINZ: Anyone else? Other? Lando only. For Lando!
