ZHOU GuanyuYeah, potential change helmet for the next run. It's too dark visor
EngineerCopy that
EngineerOK, so four cars out there on the medium at the moment.
EngineerWind is as expected.
EngineerYou're still in mode slow, so mode K2 plus, please.
EngineerDo you push again?
Yuki TSUNODANo, you don't.
EngineerOkay.
ZHOU GuanyuCopy. Better to understand the last sector, but we see a lot
Engineerof
ZHOU Guanyutraffic, so... Copy
Engineerthat.
Pierre GASLYMy right mirror has moved
Kevin MAGNUSSENBrakes are terrible.
EngineerAnd you can pre-select SOC 1, currently P2, P1 Tsunoda on medium.
George RUSSELLFelt quite stiff on the front. I did hit the brakes quite hard, but it's just too low grip currently
EngineerYou want to start from the box or just follow it? Yes please, start from the box in mode RS and you've got your adjuster forward which is fine.
George RUSSELLLet me know what you want to do with the program, the track is obviously just ramping in quite a lot.
EngineerIt is, do you want to...
Yuki TSUNODAI feel like every single long straight braking, initial performance of braking is pretty poor. And I think braking performance is coming most at the end of the braking.
EngineerOk, Colapinto's coming through, he's 3 seconds back, alright we'll take a look at that so let's watch out for Colapinto, 2 seconds now
Max VERSTAPPENYeah, I think time is getting hot throughout the lap
EngineerOscar, consider down on red mid, down on red mid for mid-corner rotation.

EngineerA
Nico HULKENBERGbit of pulling on the brakes
Engineerto
Nico HULKENBERGthe left it's not great
Engineer16 was a very good corner, 1.6, good job there.
Audio only, no transcript
Yuki TSUNODAOur break is terrible.
EngineerUnderstood, Yuki. We're having a look.
Audio only, no transcript
EngineerOn the next straight, after Ricciardo passes, it will be engine 12, 6th gear.
EngineerSo that lap was P10, but I suggest to box this lap and get onto the soft tyre.
Esteban OCONThere's less bumps on the brakes now. There's still some bumps in the main straight, but less on the brakes
EngineerWhat about opening deep mid, Daniel?
Daniel RICCIARDOYep, happy to go, 5.
EngineerLast corner was better. Good job.
EngineerOrlando, if the oversteering turn 13 was too much, suggest going up on a switch.
EngineerIs it a double cool or what? It's just going to be a single cool, just getting a long run in.

Max VERSTAPPENI don't know what's going on, but between my feet, in some corners they are colder than in others.
Charles LECLERCWell, that is a very very copy
EngineerIf you do need to do another one for learning.
George RUSSELLYou guys make the call. I'm happy to start. We can start at 4.
EngineerBlock by the red book. Yeah, I don't know what he was doing there
Yuki TSUNODAespecially like 10-15 that you kind of breaking is is
Engineerit
Yuki TSUNODAwas all on the fully limits
EngineerAlonso looks slow
EngineerAnd Mike says you can try funk 4 from turn 14. Gasly 12 behind, Colapinto 10 ahead.
EngineerThe porting from tires quite damaged already just for info no pressure in front and behind
Sergio PEREZI feel like I'm front pitching at the start of braking. Copy.
EngineerWe'll come to you with a suggestion.
ZHOU GuanyuI had a snap into the voting.
EngineerIn
Yuki TSUNODAterms of cooldown levels, okay? Do you want me to cooldown the car or the street pit?
EngineerNo, you can box, Yuki, box, box.
EngineerWhite H8, position 4. White H8, position 4.
EngineerYou wouldn't like a flapper, just please. You want to stay out. Perez, three seconds.
EngineerJust to check, you push the pit button, is that on purpose?
Fernando ALONSONo, to avoid a crash with this car I push the buttons, all the ones I have.
EngineerOk Daniel, good effort. So big picture, I think we push a bit too much on entries in a few places, especially second to last sector, and that cost us on exit.
Sergio PEREZI got blocked by the other one.
EngineerPurple default zero alpha. Purple default zero alpha to reset Delta.
George RUSSELLThe front is grabbing a bit during mid-phase of breaking 14
Charles LECLERCI think it will improve for sure.
EngineerYes, but I mean the high fuel has also some important gasoline coming through
EngineerCan we do a single slow and then a push? If you want to do single slow and push, I'm happy with that.
Yuki TSUNODAOf course, Stroll, man.
EngineerOkay, if understeer turn 18-19 is a problem, we'll just go down on the high-speed switch. The open modifier doesn't work there, so just drop high-speed switch down.
EngineerMissed that last transmission Lewis, but if you can focus on traction, turn 7, 8 and 13.
Lewis HAMILTONToo much undersea
EngineerVery well balanced, going ever so slightly rearwards now.
Lance STROLLGo this lap or do another cool? We think we need to go around again just for temperature.
EngineerGeorgia doing less lift and coast, but more traction management. Traction metrics half.
EngineerWe will have to take a lot of traffic this lap, so we can go nice and steady now, we've got our one in six There will be a lot of cars to come through then there's a big gap behind this group, so
Engineerjust strap 12 strap 12
Lewis HAMILTONI'm trying to reduce this traction actually. You've got to fix this man, I'll be as soft as I can.
EngineerYeah, sure thing Lewis, we'll have you come for the session.
Sergio PEREZYeah, I can't stop the car with the front right copy
Charles LECLERCYeah, but Carlos
Engineershould let you through if he doesn't let you through just open the gap. We got a good gap, please yeah,
Charles LECLERCbut then tell him to not slow down to Then then I'm stuck if
Engineeryou keep slowing down all the time. Yes, he's been told
EngineerStaying up for the grid launch, like at some point we need to learn first So we need to do a first second shift with recharge off somewhere
EngineerIt's okay with the modem with my bias because it looks very extreme force. Yeah. Yeah, we want to test it now
Charles LECLERCLast timelapse for the high fuel runoff?
EngineerSo best lap times, it was 38.7
Charles LECLERCOkay
Engineer37.4 Albon on hard, so there's a bit of a mix
Charles LECLERCBut all the other runners are on hard or soft? The lap times you told me before
EngineerEvery, I've only told you hard runners
Charles LECLERCAh okay okay, that makes more sense please, how it plays I think
Carlos SAINZWe need to sort out the brakes. Cannot be that we change the brake balance so much.
EngineerUnderstood.
EngineerReach hard, John, please. Purple C3, position 2. C3, position 2, third gear.
EngineerTwo burnouts, two burnouts.
Yuki TSUNODAMan, everything is too late.
EngineerYuki, we're trying our best here.
Daniel RICCIARDOIt found the revs really quickly like with only a little bit of pedal and then when I released it kept staying on
Daniel RICCIARDOJust checked that, that was really weird, throttle just went on itself, felt like it got stuck on the first pre-start.
EngineerOK copy that.
