EngineerAnd we're okay for the start, Nico, in RS.
EngineerThe wind intensity is 25 kph
Nico HULKENBERGStraight to the grid right?
EngineerThat's correct.
EngineerOK, we stay in mode 3 and sync the gears before turn 4, on heads up, Norris reported low grip turn 6.
Pierre GASLYI can't think it, I don't know why. Yeah
Engineerthat's okay mate, we'll get it on the formation lap, no problem.
EngineerAll OK with the Calium?
Liam LAWSONYeah, all OK. It's pointy, but honestly it's not terrible.
EngineerSo I just look for Ash and the boys.
Engineerlift through the high speed turn 12 to 15 minimize the braking
Liam LAWSONOk, I understand
EngineerOk, your call mate, your call, happy to leave it to you, no problem
EngineerJust take care with your grid box position.
Liam LAWSONThat's so gross.
EngineerI'm
Lewis HAMILTONputting up a show
Alexander ALBONMy push toggle doesn't work
ZHOU GuanyuWhat can I do with the battery?
EngineerBattery is coming up everything is good
Engineerit's clear air ahead of you you should be easier on your tires now as you know so good shape
Alexander ALBONNo cases Chuck, I'm just stuck. Yeah, copy that.
EngineerGreen 11, position 3, will give you more energy.
EngineerI
Lewis HAMILTONget lots of snaps and uh
ZHOU GuanyuI don't want more tea. I'm sleeping like f*** already.
Engineer10-16, slow in, fast out, don't over push entry 10-16
Pierre GASLYI don't know, the cam dog's too fast.
EngineerSo we're at the peak of the bulks now, but they'll start coming down. Both tips start coming down slowly.
EngineerAnd a minor, white H8, position 5, please. White H8, position 5.
EngineerOscar, if more pace from Lando would help, let me know.
Alexander ALBONThe poor toggle feels more powerful than the flick, am I wrong?
EngineerOscar almost has the gap to Russell, so if we can use maybe a tenth of your pace would take it please. Speak louder, there's a lot of witness.
EngineerAnd Lando starting to pick up the pace in front.
EngineerOkay, so just open modifier for two, four, and five.
ZHOU GuanyuWhat do you want me to do with the tire? I did not manage to
EngineerFull push full push
EngineerSOC 7, well done, SOC 7.
EngineerSo you're not using the high-speed toggle Kev that just reminding you about it
EngineerMissed DRS by 10 milliseconds. Russell using overtake, turn 14 to 16.
Lewis HAMILTONGod, that's... What's
Engineerthe,
Lewis HAMILTONuh, half an ounce?
EngineerHamilton 0.9, still do not overpush turn 12 and 13, it will pay off.
EngineerHappy with strat 5. Both cars will do it. Keep Oscar in DRS. 1.2.
EngineerUnlocked with a bit more high speed coming down, suggest 11 if he needs to open.
EngineerPiastri doesn't have DRS.
EngineerCheckered flag, Kev. Well done, mate. That was a very good drive. Well done, mate.
EngineerP10, I'm sorry it doesn't count for anything, such a shame, but it's an excellent drive.
Kevin MAGNUSSENWhy didn't you give me SAC-3?
EngineerI
Kevin MAGNUSSENwould have done it, but anyway, no point, but still.
EngineerOkay, sorry mate.
EngineerOoh, that was nice. P7.
Nico HULKENBERGYeah, nice job guys.
EngineerClean.
ZHOU GuanyuYeah, well some great practice session was being check out
Yuki TSUNODAIt was not too bad, towards the end I would say it started to open, probably coming towards more front and mid corner in slow-medium speeds.
Liam LAWSONYeah, copy. Just that first lap, I have no idea.
Audio only, no transcript
Liam LAWSONYeah, copy. Just that first lap, I have no idea.
Audio only, no transcript
Franco COLAPINTOYeah, I think the bass was not too well.
Franco COLAPINTOFront starting to open, but we're still good
Franco COLAPINTOFront starting to open but we're still good
EngineerThanks, Franco. Yeah, it was good pace and I think also good learning for this afternoon. Let's clear our heads and let's get back into it and call it a go.
EngineerLex, it sets us up well for qualifying this afternoon. I think there's a little bit of learning there. Just hard to get through a DRS train.
Alexander ALBONYeah, yeah.
Esteban OCONThank you. Yeah, I hope you like that one
EngineerNot too shabby at all. Okay, so how was balance for us please with that?
Pierre GASLYCould not do any better, honestly.
George RUSSELLJust f***ing saw an instrument!
Max VERSTAPPENWell, over-serious for an understatement.
EngineerOscar almost has DRS to Russell, so if you can do maybe a tenth quicker, that would help.
EngineerF***
George RUSSELLme, that was late.
EngineerIt's
George RUSSELLtwice now.
Lando NORRISYeah, I'm starting to struggle with the front, so do I save him, or...? Yeah,
Engineerplease help Oscar.
Oscar PIASTRIYep, yeah, thank you for the teamwork, much appreciated, and a great load of points, so thanks everybody.
EngineerNice work, dude.
EngineerIt
Lando NORRISis next stop Barcelona.
EngineerYes, but don't worry about that. We finish in this order. Finish in this order, we're happy.
