The session, message by message
Sergio PEREZWhat sort of gap we need to look ahead?
EngineerAnd we're looking for a good gap. So just think about seven seconds every eight seconds
George RUSSELLAnything on wind direction?
EngineerIt's very light in strength looks to be as forecast into turn 12
Pierre GASLYThe temperature is okay, it looks really really low on the dash
EngineerCan
Pierre GASLYyou just tell me if it's...
Engineerwhat to do here? Yeah, so tyre temps are looking okay, we'll look into that dash issue.
Kevin MAGNUSSENIt is good brakes are terrible
Pierre GASLYAlright, at a slower drift, 56
EngineerOkay, just make sure you recharge off
EngineerAnd radio check in 10-12, there's a big queue ahead of you, like 6 cars yet to open a lap. Yeah, I need that information a little bit earlier next time. Okay, I will do.
Lando NORRISOkay.
EngineerTargeting the minus 18
George RUSSELLVery oversteery, you can just check the diff entry, diff mid and that it's in line with the expectations
EngineerHow are the brakes still Kev, are they still poor?
Kevin MAGNUSSENTerrible, yeah really bad. Copy
Engineerthat.
Kevin MAGNUSSENJust no bite and a pretty big difference between left and right front.
EngineerCopy.
EngineerSuggestion, right hand toggle, turn 12 to 14.
EngineerAnd just be mindful of those surface temps in sector three opening the lap
Yuki TSUNODAI also had a bit of instability in the chicane as well.
EngineerHow are the brakes still, Kev? Are they still poor?
Kevin MAGNUSSENTerrible, yeah, really bad.
EngineerCopy that. The
Kevin MAGNUSSENseat's nice, though.
EngineerOK, that's good.
Pierre GASLYThere's some understeer in turn two, and some traction issue.
ZHOU GuanyuI've got those things coming up on my sideboard, some of
Engineerthe
ZHOU Guanyuothers came up on the left.
EngineerOkay so box, Alex box, I'll just take it steady in the pit lane just to try to help track position at pit exit.
Yuki TSUNODAI guess I had a bit of a slap in turn 11, it was quite an episode. Yeah,
Engineercorrect.
EngineerStop in front of the garage Box, box, box, box Stop in front of the garage
Daniel RICCIARDOUnderstood
EngineerI
Daniel RICCIARDOthink shape 4 is default Unless Patrick you feel otherwise
EngineerHe's happy, box, box
Daniel RICCIARDOI think shape 4 is default, unless Patrick you feel otherwise.
Audio only, no transcript
Yuki TSUNODAI guess I had a bit of a slap in turn 12, sorry, in turn 11, it was quite deep as well.
EngineerYeah, correct.
EngineerSame gear, 5th gear for both.
Yuki TSUNODAWhat gear they're using? 5th gear or 6th gear?
Esteban OCONYeah, the car kind of turned itself on braking, so high-speed braking turn 1, turn 2, turn 11, and then I got my corner on the steer later on, so not the best.
EngineerOkay, understood. We'll have a look at that. I feel that rotation is kind of end of brake or at peak. Yeah, it's from peak, from high speed. Yeah, okay, understood. Okay, we've got Albon pushing behind 4 seconds. Just need to let him through.
EngineerOkay, let's watch out. Yeah, Joe's car behind. Someone boxes that.
Pierre GASLYYeah, that was pretty strange. Big snipe entry, 11.
EngineerWe'll have a look at that.
George RUSSELLYuki wasn't looking in his mirrors.
Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, problem is, especially 5 and 12, the reel. If I break hard there, I lose the reel.
EngineerSo you know the targets, it's not really helping to achieve them, but make sure the target's ready.
Lance STROLLThat car is quite shocking to drive right now.
EngineerWe can think about closing the tools for the last two corners from our side.
EngineerOscar, it looks like we have quite a lot of front ride height available, but my plan is to leave that alone and prioritise time on track.
EngineerI think
Sergio PEREZthe tire, I could never get it cool.
EngineerWe're all in sync, so we can focus on the outlap, target 0-0. Let's work the brakes in turn 12.
EngineerAlonso 5, Yukira, how was the balance?
Yuki TSUNODAI think towards the end of the lap, the balance started to get balanced, but for sure, turn 1-2 is quite a lot understeer. But actually turn 5 onwards, it started to get neutral, so
EngineerI
Yuki TSUNODAthink definitely we need a bit of compromise for this tyre.
EngineerGood, copy. First car pushing, Alonso 10 seconds. Okay, that's good. We'll go for a double cooldown and we'll go through the pit lane to cool down even more. Alonso 5.
EngineerIt's a very quick turnaround. No one pushing behind. Box, box. It's a very quick turnaround. Look at some data and go again. People will start their long runs soon. No one pushing behind. Box, box. It's a very quick turnaround.
EngineerOkay Kev, so once they've adjusted the front wing, please do a mode RS start from box.
Oscar PIASTRIall twisted it's so the seam is like oh i guess you want to do a launch but this left glove i have like the middle finger is like all twisted it's okay
Engineerjust came past us, so we just need to open the gap to them, pit exit, so remember target six. Okay, so all cars
Engineerto help the other car. Fernando what would you say on car balance for that lap to help the other car?
Fernando ALONSOYeah good luck.
EngineerFernando what would you say?
Engineertoggle turn one two push toggle
Engineerlap and then that's Bottas just ahead of you on a slow lap and ahead of him there's 10 seconds to Logan and no one pushing
EngineerIn terms of balance, does turn one and turn two feel understeered for you or is a good balance for these good corners?
Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, turn one definitely. That was definitely the most front limited I've had there.
EngineerYeah, it's difficult Fernando this track.
Fernando ALONSOI don't know. I mean we overtook 11
Engineercars. We can try another lap.
EngineerThree seconds to pass one point
EngineerI
George RUSSELLdidn't feel anything.
EngineerCan we try again? We saw it working. It's all good.
Engineeris eight seconds and we have always
Engineerdiff 33 okay so we just need to generate some break so we recommend yeah shape four lines there is on his
EngineerFernando, what would you say on car balance for that lap, just to help the other car?
Fernando ALONSOUm... Yeah, good luck.
EngineerThere's nobody had okay very
EngineerWe have six guys
EngineerOne tenth and a half in turn one, one tenth and fourteen.
EngineerWhen you're ready, clear from behind, you can build your gap.
EngineerRight behind you, so Leclerc on an outlap right behind on us.
EngineerPerez six bars three load push
Engineeravailable so especially in sector three we've got
EngineerWe've got Sargent at six seconds.
Charles LECLERCbut i'm not sure i think it was i don't know i saw a board on the right but i'm not sure when i was uh overtaking kevin i think i don't know i saw a board on the right but i'm not sure i think it was lost off adherence but if we can check yes it was very short and then they removed it
Charles LECLERCWhen I was overtaking Kevin, I think I don't know I saw a board on the right, but I'm not sure I think it was lost off at errands, but if we can check yes, I was very short and then they removed it
EngineerAnd we'll have blue six, position one.
George RUSSELLHow was the clutch target last time? It
Engineerwas on target and we'll have one burnout this time please.
EngineerSo we don't see anyone improving on the second lap on the soft tyre, so we think to go around again is a bit of a waste of time really. Let me know what you think.
George RUSSELLDeceleration from the brakes billport
EngineerOk Daniel, we'll review this lap, we took a bit more margin braking turn 1, turn 2, did you feel something with the car there?
Daniel RICCIARDONo, nothing in particular, just there was a bit in turn 1 with I think Stroll, so I took some margin.
EngineerOkay, so all modifiers are good for as discussed. We need to make that gap to Russell. Let's go break four now, please.
EngineerOkay, Logan, on this run, pay attention to curb turn 4, because he had some damages on Alex's car, so don't use too much curb turn 4, please.
George RUSSELLBocon just in the middle of the road Climax you're done Guys defend him
EngineerOkay, Logan, on this run, pay attention to curb turn 4, because we had some damages on Alex Carr, so don't use too much curb turn 4, please.
Lando NORRISLaunch at the launch.
EngineerLaunch at the end of the building. That's a by-point finder, two burnouts, stand there.
Sergio PEREZAre we gonna be able to get anything else? Yep, we've got time for another time-lapse.
EngineerWe think you can save a bit more in 4 and 11. We think you can save more
EngineerAnd George we will need more lift and coast for that warning on the dash
EngineerAnd suggestion, loop is seven, loop is seven.
Sergio PEREZYeah, the time was quite a bit warm.
EngineerYeah, it started quite warm, still a bit of a lap, so...
EngineerI can see that Albon is using DRS.
Fernando ALONSOYeah, not even in practice we can have a normal run.
Charles LECLERCJust careful to not to not speak in the critical area, please Only where we said we speak.
EngineerYeah copy
Yuki TSUNODAAlso before I forget don't you don't have to say talk or whatever just simple to be six push a lot
Max VERSTAPPENI'm stopping on the brakes and letting the wheel go deep, because it's pulling both of it to the right.
EngineerCopy that.
EngineerIt's decent P1 mate. Good job so far.
