Pierre GASLYSteering is right hand side down.
EngineerOkay mate, we're just checking the data now.
EngineerGX3 please, GX3.
Sergio PEREZA little bit of neutral balance into the high speed and then we come down on the flap.
Pierre GASLYYeah, come on, you've got to do a better job between cars with traffic
ZHOU GuanyuWe're doing one push up, one charge up
EngineerAnd press overtake before turn one, practice turn one.
EngineerOkay, we'll go double slow. Double slow.
Sergio PEREZYeah, you told me too late.
EngineerI don't know what he was doing opening an app like that.
Sergio PEREZNo, I think we get to do some mechanical for the high speed. I'm too neutral on the entry. We've
Engineergot Norris at 4 seconds.
Yuki TSUNODASorry, I forgot to go backwards after turn 4. Remind me next time.
EngineerGeorge did single cool he was 10 degrees hotter on a bulk
EngineerOscar, suggest a box and we can adjust the car. Suggest a box.
Charles LECLERCMaybe we do it over cool. Let's go through the peak lane minus
Engineerfour
EngineerWhat I'd like to do is go for this double cool, we've got one more cool up after this, we'll go for the next push, if we're down by the pit entry I'd like to come in, save ourselves a bit of time because these changes might take a little bit longer.
EngineerAnd then it's cruise six, exit of turn 12.
Franco COLAPINTOBut the rear looking is quite big, I feel, at the moment.
EngineerLet
Carlos SAINZme open one up, turn one and two, tell me what do I need to do.
EngineerCarry speed in one and prepare less turn two.
EngineerWhen you arrive, stop on the marks, find hold revs, and then switch off, please.
Carlos SAINZSo we need more stability than six and just better ride the car.
Franco COLAPINTOIt doesn't feel bad, this level now, I think. It's more grip-related, not rear-oriented.
EngineerAnd Lando suggests silver d5, silver d5.
EngineerWould you like to take another push lap instead?
Valtteri BOTTASIdeally, yes.
EngineerAnd I know we think we should potentially do another cool down lap.
EngineerAnd now we should move to constant sock. I see you doing the switches already. Let's pass through the pit lane for the practice start.
Nico HULKENBERGThere's a bit of clutch dragging when I stand still. Before the start the car is pulling forward.
EngineerIt's
Alexander ALBONstill massively overflexed
Engineeras
Alexander ALBONwell, like I'm turning it to really far.
EngineerDo you want to box now and do a flap adjust straight away before we start the run?
EngineerTo get on with it there's a pretty good gap here. Collar pin toe 14 seconds back so I can get out in front of him
Liam LAWSONRazor graining a lot man
EngineerHolkberg and Gasly both in turn one very close together, correction Gasly bailed because they were too close
Alexander ALBONThe problem is
EngineerLawson ahead is on consecutive but he's going fairly slowly so if you can get by that's fine for us.
Alexander ALBONThe problem is not Lawson, it's everyone else doing different laptops.
EngineerAnd if we can try to manage more, exit 267, UK is much more gentle, exit 267.
Liam LAWSONYeah, copy. I'm trying to use the front. That's
Engineera
Liam LAWSONproblem.
EngineerNeed to reduce the speed. Balance is very limited. It's going to be difficult to use the front. Copy.
EngineerYou're gonna have to give me two three minutes. We're gonna make some changes to the car
EngineerOkay, Oli, you can reduce your lift and coast by about 30%.
EngineerSo we're boxes lap attack the entry will come down three
EngineerSo Lance, we're going to start our last time now. We're going to cut the run short. Please add 25 metres lifting coast to one and four.
Audio only, no transcript
EngineerI'll pick that up.
George RUSSELLA weird bouncing futon line.
EngineerOkay, so once we take the checkered flag, we'd like an aero cruise out of three. Aero.
Audio only, no transcript
ZHOU GuanyuOn the turning of turn 6, I have a massive bump, like a full time vibration there.
EngineerHappy with pace, a bit difficult to know where everyone is on fuel, but happy where we are.
EngineerStrat Mode 8, Strat Mode 8
EngineerCome over Lake Rose, you'll be go cool, fast charge, targeting plus, 15 on the dash, drop, rear.
EngineerInput entry test box. Box, yes.
Audio only, no transcript
Alexander ALBONYeah, I just destroyed the front lift.
Alexander ALBON10-6-7, I just, I don't know, can you take my onboard if I went a bit offline?
George RUSSELLCan't do that. They've had a big impact on this stuff.
EngineerYeah, under 2 seconds. We've been sector 1 in this one. Yeah, your track is improving, yeah.
EngineerSo you're coming up to take the checkered flag. Could we have a CSL6 after turn 3 please? So that's 6th gear, 200k's.
Esteban OCONYeah, second lap was basically better entry stability, but a lot of understeer mid-corner, so that
Engineerdidn't help.
EngineerOkay, stopping on the marks. The guys will do a tyre change and then go to P1 please. You'll then be pushed forwards out of the box to clear for Nico.
Alexander ALBONMy headrest pin came out.
EngineerOkay, understood.
ZHOU GuanyuSomething feels strange on the front. It feels worse like it doesn't feel it's turning. My car is not turning
Lewis HAMILTONRight close, he's still bad
Lewis HAMILTONThey're bouncing, they're close to the track everywhere.
George RUSSELLMy right elbow's getting cool on the... Don't take...
Lewis HAMILTONHow much time have we got?
EngineerIt'll be one more lap when you cross the line.
George RUSSELLThat was one bumpy ride.
EngineerWow.
Charles LECLERCI have it. Some people are sleeping. I couldn't practice speed entry, they were pushing.
