ZHOU GuanyuMy aging is cutting guys. I don't know if you guys don't see it, but I'm feeling the cutting.
EngineerCopy that. We're looking into this.
ZHOU GuanyuIt's
Engineera
ZHOU Guanyubit sensitive on the front axle, initial turning.
Sergio PEREZThe brake pedal feels a little bit stiff.
EngineerAnd Lando, we're going to try and fix this problem. Perez right behind you.
Max VERSTAPPENUh, I still hear a weird noise, uh, any engine?
EngineerWe're happy for you to continue at the moment, Max.
EngineerOkay, let's go back to aero P1. You're clear from traffic behind.
Yuki TSUNODACheck one I forgot I forgot again to the toggle this will be looking a lot of us to
Max VERSTAPPENThis noise is very disturbing this can't be normal box, please max box
EngineerTargeting minus 8
George RUSSELLRear didn't feel very strong,
Engineereven on the hard lap felt pretty weak. A-firm looked quite loose.
Max VERSTAPPENWhat the hell,
Engineerthe
Max VERSTAPPENbrakes didn't work at all.
EngineerYeah, Lewis improved on the second lap.
EngineerStop on the mark, Liam. Let's try to maximize the landing.
Audio only, no transcript
EngineerWhy did you rush me out? There's plenty of time.
EngineerSo, Nico, you're going to go after the McLarens if there's no clear gap.
EngineerAnd clutch is hot.
Pierre GASLYWhere should I, is there a gap for me?
EngineerWhere should I, is there a gap for me? Yep, so behind Bottas is Leclerc, seven seconds.
EngineerBreak balance minus one suggestion
EngineerOkay, so work the front tires Max
EngineerSo we'll replicate the previous run with the double call.
Charles LECLERCSerge is out of turn 7 on that previous push lap.
EngineerThat'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 STROLLI can't go mate.
EngineerOkay Max recharge on please, I've got the same problem so box
EngineerAnd we can use DRS and do some weaving.
EngineerGo in and pass charge on.
Liam LAWSONYeah, I mean the first stuff I had no fucking rear
Liam LAWSONHave a look at the last sector because that was so weird
EngineerEntire position free.
EngineerNo, no, no stars allowed, go straight out, pit exit, test.
EngineerOkay, and the only thing for this run, so no DRS because high fuel.
EngineerSo I'll be nine to go. Can you increase lifting coast in turn 7 and turn 12 by 10 meters?
EngineerCool down the car in the big braking zones, please
EngineerWe still think pushing a bit too much entry, 13.
EngineerRebalance plus one with more migration suggested
EngineerOkay, to reset the Delta, it's drive default, green 3, and then double press OK.
ZHOU GuanyuKurt breaks out, guys.
Esteban OCONSomething is burning but I don't think it got from my car, it's
Engineermade of brake pads. Okay understood, we'll let you know if we need any action.
EngineerYeah 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 GuanyuMy phone breaks, the burning, last act of it. The burning.
Fernando ALONSOYeah, I'm in the middle of the battle with Norris, so I think better to box.
Audio only, no transcript
EngineerYeah 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 TSUNODAMaybe I need more migration for end of docking. I need a more safe way.
Charles LECLERCI can see Carlos recharging, just please tell him to maybe take like a 6 seconds gap to Lewisburg
EngineerPlease push to turn one and use DRS on the in-lap.
EngineerOK, Piers, we'd like to keep pushing on the in-lap, keep pushing.
EngineerWhen you arrive, stop on the marks, find hold revs and switch off please.
EngineerGo one go one or two clicks forward a break balance one or two forwards and break balance
EngineerBasically, you've done a good job on the in-lap here. So you're free to attack the box
Franco COLAPINTODo I go race, yeah?
EngineerYes, go race, please.
EngineerAnd I always suggest left hand toggle turn four.
EngineerLet 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.
EngineerSo let's be cautious breaking into 12, please, but this should come back.
Charles LECLERCWell, 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.
EngineerCopy, no worries. So next car is Lawson 5.
EngineerWell that amount of lift off in turn 4 and turn 12 double that lift off turn 4 turn 12
ZHOU GuanyuI hope you have a look at the car over the curbs
Engineerthat you see on the right side of the building, there's parts you can look up
Yuki TSUNODAI think I pushed a little bit more on the high speed. I felt a bit of step in our traction.
EngineerThe tire saving you're doing in 9, you can brake late in 10.
EngineerDisplay yellow 5, position 7, plus 1. Display yellow 5, position 7, plus 1.
EngineerWe 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.
EngineerCarlos 21.4 we need 20 meters more Leica 20 meters more yes
Charles LECLERCit's
Engineera request Charles okay it's a request
EngineerThe
Lewis HAMILTONfront is switching on very quick.
EngineerCopy.
EngineerOpportunity. 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.
EngineerEasy on the brakes
Charles LECLERCI don't know what was going on there.
EngineerCopy, we will go for a start at the end of the grid.
EngineerNo, but point. Oh, yeah, you can't point. Yep by point you can
Engineerso it's purple C3 position 4 sixth gear purple C3 position 4
ZHOU GuanyuMy star reference has came off, so now it's comparable.
