ZHOU Guanyu: My aging is cutting guys. I don't know if you guys don't see it, but I'm feeling the cutting.
Engineer: Copy that. We're looking into this.
ZHOU Guanyu: It's
Engineer: a
ZHOU Guanyu: bit sensitive on the front axle, initial turning.
Sergio PEREZ: The brake pedal feels a little bit stiff.
Engineer: And Lando, we're going to try and fix this problem. Perez right behind you.
Max VERSTAPPEN: Uh, I still hear a weird noise, uh, any engine?
Engineer: We're happy for you to continue at the moment, Max.
Engineer: Okay, let's go back to aero P1. You're clear from traffic behind.
Yuki TSUNODA: Check one I forgot I forgot again to the toggle this will be looking a lot of us to
Max VERSTAPPEN: This noise is very disturbing this can't be normal box, please max box
Engineer: Targeting minus 8
George RUSSELL: Rear didn't feel very strong,
Engineer: even on the hard lap felt pretty weak. A-firm looked quite loose.
Max VERSTAPPEN: What the hell,
Engineer: the
Max VERSTAPPEN: brakes didn't work at all.
Engineer: Yeah, Lewis improved on the second lap.
Engineer: Stop on the mark, Liam. Let's try to maximize the landing.
Audio only, no transcript available for this message.
Engineer: Why did you rush me out? There's plenty of time.
Engineer: So, Nico, you're going to go after the McLarens if there's no clear gap.
Engineer: And clutch is hot.
Pierre GASLY: Where should I, is there a gap for me?
Engineer: Where should I, is there a gap for me? Yep, so behind Bottas is Leclerc, seven seconds.
Engineer: Break balance minus one suggestion
Engineer: Okay, so work the front tires Max
Engineer: So we'll replicate the previous run with the double call.
Charles LECLERC: Serge is out of turn 7 on that previous push lap.
Engineer: That's a 10 to high, so we might have to go when we can. Watch your elbows out behind, so we need to go when you can.
Lance STROLL: I can't go mate.
Engineer: Okay Max recharge on please, I've got the same problem so box
Engineer: And we can use DRS and do some weaving.
Engineer: Go in and pass charge on.
Liam LAWSON: Yeah, I mean the first stuff I had no fucking rear
Liam LAWSON: Have a look at the last sector because that was so weird
Engineer: Entire position free.
Engineer: No, no, no stars allowed, go straight out, pit exit, test.
Engineer: Okay, and the only thing for this run, so no DRS because high fuel.
Engineer: So I'll be nine to go. Can you increase lifting coast in turn 7 and turn 12 by 10 meters?
Engineer: Cool down the car in the big braking zones, please
Engineer: We still think pushing a bit too much entry, 13.
Engineer: Rebalance plus one with more migration suggested
Engineer: Okay, to reset the Delta, it's drive default, green 3, and then double press OK.
ZHOU Guanyu: Kurt breaks out, guys.
Esteban OCON: Something is burning but I don't think it got from my car, it's
Engineer: made of brake pads. Okay understood, we'll let you know if we need any action.
Engineer: Yeah understood we're happy with temperatures at the moment let's keep going five laps to go we'll advise if we need action
ZHOU Guanyu: My phone breaks, the burning, last act of it. The burning.
Fernando ALONSO: Yeah, I'm in the middle of the battle with Norris, so I think better to box.
Audio only, no transcript available for this message.
Engineer: Yeah understood, we're happy with temperatures at the moment, let's keep going, five laps to go, we'll advise if we need action.
Yuki TSUNODA: Maybe I need more migration for end of docking. I need a more safe way.
Charles LECLERC: I can see Carlos recharging, just please tell him to maybe take like a 6 seconds gap to Lewisburg
Engineer: Please push to turn one and use DRS on the in-lap.
Engineer: OK, Piers, we'd like to keep pushing on the in-lap, keep pushing.
Engineer: When you arrive, stop on the marks, find hold revs and switch off please.
Engineer: Go one go one or two clicks forward a break balance one or two forwards and break balance
Engineer: Basically, you've done a good job on the in-lap here. So you're free to attack the box
Franco COLAPINTO: Do I go race, yeah?
Engineer: Yes, go race, please.
Engineer: And I always suggest left hand toggle turn four.
Engineer: Let me know if all okay now before I hit the brakes. Yeah, understood. Approach, turn 4, braking with caution, please. Let's see if this comes back. It'll be temperature related.
Engineer: So let's be cautious breaking into 12, please, but this should come back.
Charles LECLERC: Well, I thought you said in between Sainz and Jascha, I thought there was more gap. So I was in the middle of Carlos, but anyway.
Engineer: Copy, no worries. So next car is Lawson 5.
Engineer: Well that amount of lift off in turn 4 and turn 12 double that lift off turn 4 turn 12
ZHOU Guanyu: I hope you have a look at the car over the curbs
Engineer: that you see on the right side of the building, there's parts you can look up
Yuki TSUNODA: I think I pushed a little bit more on the high speed. I felt a bit of step in our traction.
Engineer: The tire saving you're doing in 9, you can brake late in 10.
Engineer: Display yellow 5, position 7, plus 1. Display yellow 5, position 7, plus 1.
Engineer: We can't do the change I requested before, not due to the time. Not due to the time, it's just a live pit stop and then four consecutive push laps.
Engineer: Carlos 21.4 we need 20 meters more Leica 20 meters more yes
Charles LECLERC: it's
Engineer: a request Charles okay it's a request
Engineer: The
Lewis HAMILTON: front is switching on very quick.
Engineer: Copy.
Engineer: Opportunity. You said Stroll's on an in-lap? He's on a slow lap, I'm not sure what he's doing. Stand by, let's kind of time that Perez turn 11.
Engineer: Easy on the brakes
Charles LECLERC: I don't know what was going on there.
Engineer: Copy, we will go for a start at the end of the grid.
Engineer: No, but point. Oh, yeah, you can't point. Yep by point you can
Engineer: so it's purple C3 position 4 sixth gear purple C3 position 4
ZHOU Guanyu: My star reference has came off, so now it's comparable.
