The session, message by message
EngineerShould be around 2.45 until green light.
EngineerThere is a train coming behind you
EngineerOkay Joe, the moment is a bit a mix between hard and medium compounding.
EngineerOscar, there is now a slight chance of light rain towards the end of this session. We don't think that's the big storm coming yet necessarily, but it could be light rain towards the end of the session.
ZHOU GuanyuCopy. Checked a little bit my clothes by the way, it's quite easy to get undistorted from the garage.
George RUSSELLYeah, I'm going to go through prep lap tyres, I don't know what.
EngineerSo Oscar the car is softer rear heave stiffness than expected which means it could be lower rear ride height at high speed than expected
EngineerKeep on pushing
EngineerSo continue with consecutives.
George RUSSELLThe vibrations are pretty massive on the front axle.
George RUSSELLBut there's no problem in the five, weirdly.
EngineerGot a PU issue that we need to investigate.
EngineerCharge of last corner, turn 3, try to anticipate braking, focus on minimum speed, Alonso pushing 2
EngineerSuggest beaming for for the entire laps
EngineerOK, PR142, we need a boxcar this lap, we've got an issue.
Pierre GASLYWhat issue?
EngineerWe've got a PU issue that we need to investigate.
Engineerwhen tires are cold we're happy to keep pushing if you want
EngineerOkay, so we'll go B-Bell 4, B-Bell 4 and minus 2 on the bias offset, minus 2 on the bias offset.
Audio only, no transcript
Yuki TSUNODAI have *** phone lock. Just tell me if you have, if
Engineeryou
Yuki TSUNODAsee it. Brake is weird. Just check the brake.
Logan SARGEANTYeah, I have no grip left here, mate.
Pierre GASLYOk, no power.
EngineerOk, let's box Pierre, box.
Logan SARGEANTThe tires pretty damn bad
EngineerAnd you can consider entry 9 if you need more stability.
EngineerStandout corners.
Sergio PEREZAll the big stocks really turn one
Sergio PEREZout of the tunnel
Sergio PEREZAnd we seem to be having a subtraction.
EngineerOk Daniel, big cool down again, we have a bit less cars on track, we can give you one more lap.
George RUSSELLTires are not biting at all.
EngineerBrake shape plus one, engine braking plus one, all clear from behind, all clear.
Esteban OCONThe front is bouncing in the air quite a bit, mid-corner.
Audio only, no transcript
Logan SARGEANTIt's high as nowhere, man.
EngineerWe won the money in sector 2, our main loss is sector 1, sector 3.
EngineerDo you want a flap adjust now?
Sergio PEREZYeah, let's go up.
Max VERSTAPPENIt's
Engineerthe
Max VERSTAPPENcards on the night set.
Lewis HAMILTONTire feels pretty decent
EngineerYeah, copy we'll get We don't use that tire. We can save it, right? Depends what FB2 is like.
Lewis HAMILTONYou can still save it if you don't use it, too
EngineerWe have to return two tires, still have to return two tires regardless. Album at four seconds
Carlos SAINZCheck a good off-road out of the way a little earlier there.
Alexander ALBONCan you just check my front left, I clipped the wall in turn 10, left hand side. Front
Engineerleft turn 10, copy that, take a call, target minus 5, we can try the mode 2 lap next time round.
Logan SARGEANTFront left.
EngineerFront
Logan SARGEANTleft. Steering stray, but I hit it way too hard for nothing to have happened.
Oscar PIASTRII touched the wall in 15 a little bit, but hopefully it was okay.
Alexander ALBONDefinitely vibration on the front left, but it's not a balance, it's just a vibration. It feels like it's maybe getting worse, but it's hard to tell.
Nico HULKENBERGWe don't want a box to get onto the soft.
EngineerLeclerc six behind, that let me discuss.
Yuki TSUNODADon't talk to me just before 10-3 breaking.
Sergio PEREZYeah, at high peak still. The front feels very light there.
Sergio PEREZGenerally, the ideal balance, I'm lacking some front end.
ZHOU GuanyuI test the wheel turn 1 exit.
EngineerSo currently P1 just 3100th to Piastri.
EngineerSo no one behind we're gonna box and check the car
Charles LECLERCAh f**k, I took a carbon part under the floor.
EngineerOkay, we'll check the car.
Logan SARGEANTAnd Danny Rick, or Yuki, got in my way to back, which was really bad.
EngineerJust a couple of spots of rain at the moment, proper rain right at the end of the session.
EngineerOK, Daniel, let's consider a bid lap, tyres are cold.
Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, OK, be posted. But I think that's the best thing.
EngineerI think they're small raindrops.
Yuki TSUNODAHouse is a penalty for sure.
EngineerYeah, saw that.
EngineerSo I think we can only do the starts Charles.
Charles LECLERCOkay. Okay. How many points is that?
EngineerI'm not gonna say it now. Okay, it's relevant. So
ZHOU GuanyuBy the way the DRS doesn't work
EngineerYes, confirmed. We expected it. It wasn't like the run before.
Esteban OCONWhat the f***?
EngineerSo Russell is high fuel we want to stay ahead of him, but we can back all the way up to him
EngineerMiner white h7 position one white h7 position one
EngineerThe
Max VERSTAPPENproblem is the bumps. The car is so loose on the bumps. So any interaction with engine braking or brake bias is just making it all worse.
EngineerOkay, coming up.
EngineerSo there's some light spitting reported
Esteban OCONIn the airpin I seem to go more straight at the end, like the front doesn't rotate, it gives up. Ok, interesting. And exit of the airpin, the rear is too stiff so the car bounces.
Audio only, no transcript
ZHOU GuanyuThere's another guy, he's always in the way.
Charles LECLERCSorry, I didn't see sergeant Sorry, I didn't see because in the tunnel being all black with the dark car. It's difficult.
EngineerYeah, don't worry
EngineerYeah, I'm not sure what tier 3 was doing there, bit of sleep I think.
Daniel RICCIARDOYep, yeah I assume he nearly hit him when he pulled in to his pit.
