EngineerOK, PO, just 50 seconds to go, 5-0.
EngineerNew brakes here. Yeah, new brakes, confirm, all clear on the main straight.
Oscar PIASTRII think a box for a new helmet is visor is completely, something is completely wrong with this visor. Okay. Basically can't see.
EngineerCopy.
EngineerNo immediate threats behind. How's the bounce?
Sergio PEREZLacking a bit of front end
Engineerin
Sergio PEREZthe high speed Turn 9 very difficult on tip-in with the wind.
EngineerCopy. Do you want a flap adjust?
Sergio PEREZYeah, let's go up on flap a bit.
EngineerHow many clicks? How much flap would you like?
Sergio PEREZYeah, let's try two clicks.
EngineerUp two, confirm.
Sergio PEREZHave a look on how we can stabilize 9 and 10.
George RUSSELLIs that the best range?
EngineerYeah, if I'm looking.
EngineerQuite a big split, front tenths, left and right. OK, Ricardo, three. Copy that on the splits, we're having a look.
EngineerOK, we'll just do a quick compare, I'll get back to you with some driving advice shortly. P14 at the moment. Leclerc is fast, it's 14.27, very similar to yours. Clear of traffic behind. We'll see your main balance limitation please when you can.
Esteban OCONThere's some very poor grip into turn 9 exit, turn 10 entry. Turn 3 is good, 7 as well. OK,
Engineercopy that. There's a big tailwind 9 to 10 by all our measures, so I think that's mostly dominating. We'll see if we can advise anything with switches there.
Sergio PEREZI'm struggling to stop the car into turn 1. Yeah, copy that.
EngineerHow's the tyre vibration from your end? Seems
Max VERSTAPPENokay.
Max VERSTAPPENOh, I lost the mirror. Unboxing.
Kevin MAGNUSSENWe have to adjust the left wind mirror at some point, just a reminder.
EngineerCopy.
EngineerMain opportunity turn two and turn eight minimum speed
EngineerOk Daniel, so first sector is the main limitation, it's 4 tenths We are currently P17 13.4 and UT is P5 12.6 And it was a bit too much margin on 7.8, we lost 2 tenths So that was too much of a drop
Audio only, no transcript
Yuki TSUNODAAre we going one more time?
EngineerIf you want, we can do one more.
Yuki TSUNODAOk.
EngineerEngine 9, position 5. Engine 9, position 5.
Daniel RICCIARDOUp in the box.
EngineerNegative, stay out, please.
George RUSSELLI hope that wasn't so much thought, I just ran over there.
George RUSSELLYeah, I just can't get around left-handers with this flat spot.
EngineerYeah, understood. No worries.
EngineerWe've got a red flag, red flag. Delta positive. Obviously box, box, no overtaking. It's Hülkenberg, he's gone off turn one.
Nico HULKENBERGDon't
Engineerknow
Nico HULKENBERGwhat happened there.
EngineerYeah, I don't know either Nikko. Yeah, we're having a look just
Nico HULKENBERGa rear rear completely looked up. Yep breaking
EngineerOkay, you've got a clear track ahead so you can do what you want for your tyres.
EngineerAnd currently P4 with just Max and Lando completing the softflap so far.
Sergio PEREZIt was improved, better rotation I'll say, I think the anti-stability into 9-10 has been the disconnected balance, cannot get the apex,
Engineercan't
Sergio PEREZget the apex into 9.
EngineerOkay so you're picking up that tailwind is really affecting balance, we can look at that. Any downsides from this setup change?
Sergio PEREZI wouldn't say so.
EngineerCopy and will you learn more from a second lap? We have time, we have time.
Sergio PEREZCan we try it?
EngineerI think we open it, so double cool, double cool, you've got Sunoda coming past, he's on outlap so he'll be coming faster than you, we're going double cool.
George RUSSELLJust came down the floor after exit kerb, turn 13
EngineerAffirm Yeah so we'll go straight on, we'll do a double cool If you're happy with that lap, we are happy to box Get on with the programme but Yeah that's fine If you need another one Yeah alright let's box and just check this floor please Yeah Affirm, we'll do that
Carlos SAINZCheck the gearbox. There's something with
Engineerthe
Carlos SAINZgearbox.
EngineerCopy.
Carlos SAINZStay in select gear.
EngineerAll right tire temps looking good to us we're happy to lean a bit on the right hand side tires
Yuki TSUNODAI picked up move on the stage, high speed 27, 28.
EngineerYeah, very clear.
EngineerHow were the tires on the second lap?
Esteban OCONThey were still okay.
EngineerOkay copy that. Yeah. Okay mate we've got a good read and a few things we can have a look at the time sheet when we're back in.
George RUSSELLJust came down the floor after exit curb, turn 13
EngineerAffirm
EngineerI'll just confirm we will run the C3 on heavy fuel, so the tyres are going to stay on the car, so happy for comments when you're ready.
EngineerHe's on high fuel, he's
Logan SARGEANTon high fuel, he will pull away.
EngineerVerstappen 16.1, Lando 15.8
EngineerOscar, that looks quite a high level of Lyco. Maybe you don't need so much.
EngineerSo we're happy with that pace currently.
EngineerSo for info Verstappen on the medium tyre he started at 16.5 bring them in slowly he's now down at 15.8
Audio only, no transcript
Logan SARGEANTI do a plus one. Good things are going to tag up today.
EngineerSo Lando 15.8, 15.6, 15.5, Russell first lap, on soft 15.3.
George RUSSELLA very weird slide exit of 7
EngineerJust think about diff high speed for turn 7, it's fully open. It's
George RUSSELLburied in the corner where it's sliding. Yeah, understood.
EngineerNorris best medium runner at the moment so 15.8 down to 15.2
George RUSSELLIs the diff fully open in turn 13?
EngineerI'll get back to you. Strat 8 and A Firm yes, diff fully open turn 13
EngineerOpportunity turn one, one tenth. Be careful with the amount of combined entry.
EngineerYeah, so now just one more lap on this Timex, one more lap.
EngineerCan turn 7 manage front left carcass temperature?
Max VERSTAPPENCan we box? There's traffic.
EngineerWe can box, yes Max, box.
George RUSSELLHas the wind picked up?
EngineerNo, we don't see anything on the wind.
George RUSSELLThe rear feels like it's buckling in 7, 8
Pierre GASLYYeah, whatever happened, turn 9-10, we're straight in the club.
EngineerOkay, we'll take a look. We think we have another step available on high speed.
EngineerAnd careful with front micro locks phase three into turn one.
EngineerOk mate, how's the balance?
Esteban OCONIt's starting to take off a little bit now
George RUSSELLMarker for sliding rear.
EngineerJudge, let me know if you think flap adjust will help.
George RUSSELLNegative.
EngineerUnderstood.
EngineerStrat 10 when you can and let's be proactive with switches, consider push toggle turn 1 and where you need it for stability.
EngineerDiff mid minus one and we would like to keep running until the end of the session if it's okay for you
EngineerValska, check mic position and confirm flap adjust. I heard up one.
Oscar PIASTRICopy, up one.
EngineerOK, we're boxed this lap. Boxed this lap.
Oscar PIASTRICopy, box.
EngineerSonoda 3 seconds on a lap. Let
George RUSSELLme just take a cool down lap and see if it resets things and...
EngineerBalance feedback when you can.
Sergio PEREZVery generally unstable 9 and 10.
George RUSSELLThird and the start's on the medium, if that's okay?
EngineerNegative, we cannot use that tyre. So box, box, stop on your marks and switch off.
EngineerPrepare for the next can we get SOC 13 for the next lap SOC 13 and we'll get back to you on slips
EngineerOK, Kev, we'd like to push hard the next three time-lapses just to see how the tyres go. OK, copy.
EngineerAnd Leno's suggestion, the right-hand panel will help turn 10.
EngineerAnd it'll be out lap critical, we may get one time but it's very close.
EngineerAnd this will be the last lap, last lap.
EngineerOkay, that's the checkered flag. We need a full cooldown lap for the launch and keep the car speed up for full cooling.
EngineerOkay Pierre, so no need for an aero cruise. If we could reset the cooker knob. We do need to sync first gear. If we could try to sync first gear before the start.
Esteban OCONWas the thief behaving normally into turn 1 or not?
EngineerI think so, yeah, just looking at it, no concerns. We'll have a look through in the office though. I think there's a few things we can look at. He
Esteban OCONthinks the car was turning in many times, you know, it was on and off turning.
EngineerOkay, understood. We'll have a close look at that back in the office. It's difficult to advise on times around here as well, sorry, there's a bit of a mixed bag in terms of people saving and obviously with traffic, so... There's a consistent run until Norris came past obviously. So we can, yeah, look at it all in a bit more detail later. So three burnouts please, start on the right and then pushing to pit entry.
EngineerClutch was deep at 2% This time we're going to stop at the FAA bridge just away the car
Lewis HAMILTONUnderstood
