Spanish Grand Prix2024 · Practice 3 team radio

EngineerAnd circuit's all clear.

EngineerOk, so we'll go for the double call, you're only car on track, so all clear.

EngineerSo as compared to yesterday, only loss looks turn four, looks two or three tenths there, but good gain at turn five. Everything else is probably within the noise in terms of track evo.

Lewis HAMILTON10-4EZ, two or three tenths

EngineerYeah, we're just looking at the offload, the telemetry overlay, we're just going off GPS, but we'll get you an updated number You don't need to drive through, right? You don't need to drive through, but we're here if you need us

EngineerYeah, so looking at the... Go ahead.

Lewis HAMILTONI was going to say, what target turn should I do?

EngineerAs you were previous lap, so they were good.

Lewis HAMILTONNo, but the second one I mean.

EngineerYes, 75 front and 74 rear is the target. And looking at the telemetry data, it looks like it's more the loss at turn 5 entry, so peak braking and mid-speed.

EngineerOK, double slow please Max. Let's see if you'd like to assess another step on the more aggressive tools.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, let's try it.

EngineerUnderstood. So, V-BAL 6 and the same toggle schedule, V-BAL 6, double slow. Would you like a front flap adjustment?

Max VERSTAPPENNo, that's good.

EngineerOK, understood. All cars behind on outlaps.

EngineerSo procedure is good Lance, it'll be a live stop onto a medium, we'll do the same again.

Yuki TSUNODAThe ballast is not in the right place.

EngineerUnderstood.

Lance STROLLCan you get me a knee pad prepared for the next run, I have some knee pain. Yeah, copy that Lance, we'll prepare that as understood.

Sergio PEREZYeah, very poor drivability, getting back on throttle out of 4. OK,

Engineerfrom our side, turn 4, drivability looks good, just a bit overambitious late entry speed.

Sergio PEREZIt was on throttle, it was on throttle, picking up the throttle.

EngineerFeedback when you're ready.

Sergio PEREZYeah, very poor drivability. Getting back on throttle out of 4. Quite poor.

EngineerOK, from our side, turn 4, drivability looks good. Just a bit overambitious late entry speed.

George RUSSELLCan we just get a bit of foam for a bit of knee padding, please?

EngineerYeah, I can.

EngineerI

Nico HULKENBERGthink we need double cools, don't really come down much yet.

EngineerOkay, no problem.

Nico HULKENBERGIt's much less gusty and windy than yesterday, right?

EngineerYes, same direction but much less magnitude.

EngineerV-charge on and we'll box at the end of this lap.

Sergio PEREZYep, getting back on throttle and high speed support was quite a bit worse this lap around.

Charles LECLERCGood job on the cow. It's a quick step forward.

EngineerHappy to hear that.

EngineerOscar, thoughts on front wing? I

Oscar PIASTRIthink probably need to go up a little bit. Turn 9 and the last corner felt pretty understeery.

EngineerCopy. So let's come through the pits, we'll box this lap. How much would you like to add? Watch for Magnussen, sorry late call.

Oscar PIASTRIProbably one, one and a half.

EngineerCopy.

Nico HULKENBERGI don't know, it's not happening. The 1 feels very rear limited, like too much aero balance, but afterwards not so bad.

EngineerThere's definitely wind from outside in 3 which isn't helping through there, and obviously 2 is oversteer which hurts the rear. Maybe it's just the grip of this tire.

EngineerYeah, Ken, seeing that the rear's going a bit, suggest increasing management at turn 9 a little bit to try and help it.

Kevin MAGNUSSENYeah, I'm also just getting traffic all the time. Sure,

Engineerunderstood.

EngineerWhat do you think about flap?

Alexander ALBONIt's good. I don't really know where to go with balance. I think engine through two and three is good as well. I don't need a change there.

EngineerOkay, copy that.

Fernando ALONSOYeah, double call. The traction out of two is...

EngineerHamilton fast behind now, one, that's okay. And then Albon is two behind. Then you've got a bit of a gap. Okay, so everyone behind now is slow. Yeah, there is tailwind as

Fernando ALONSOyou come through. Yeah, yeah, for everybody.

EngineerSo we do think that double call is the right thing as well. So nice and slow now.

George RUSSELLThe leg pattern's loose, front left.

EngineerCopy.

Lance STROLLSome of the tyres were just gone after one push.

EngineerYeah, it looks very extreme, a lot of people aren't improving actually.

EngineerYeah, warm all up.

Esteban OCONYeah, clipping last corner was pretty big actually.

EngineerUnderstood.

ZHOU GuanyuI would not do another one, because it's just getting worse and worse grip.

EngineerCopy Joe, we'll go just for the layer rubber.

EngineerBack out the flap, or we've got Woody's diff test.

Sergio PEREZYeah, what about the, we try the alternative, front wing?

EngineerNegative, and not available at this stage.

EngineerOK STM, brake temps all under control, thank you for that, we are driving through to the end of the pit lane, we'd like one burnout and a start please. So driving straight through, one burnout and a start.

EngineerAnd we'll go recharge on. Recharge on and we'll box this lap.

Pierre GASLYOK, they don't like it.

EngineerOK, we can revert on that, no problem. We'd like to come into the pit lane and we'll do a start from the box. So no need for an aero cruise this one, so box this lap.

Yuki TSUNODAHow was the target?

EngineerYou were baseline minus one.

Yuki TSUNODADon't

Engineerknow

Yuki TSUNODAwhy I have so much will spin.

EngineerUnderstood.

EngineerOscar, the other car bought into Turn 7. They got caught out by a gust of tailwind into Turn 7.

Kevin MAGNUSSENIs Piastro on his first slow, or second?

EngineerIt's a bit strange, he's done an out lap and he's going slowly on his first time lap, so I'm guessing he's going to go for it on the next lap.

EngineerOk, we do a drive through the pit lane, do you need a flap adjust?

Logan SARGEANTNegative

EngineerOk, copy that

EngineerLando, even if the next lap is poor, it'd be really good to come around the final corner.

Lando NORRISYeah, understood.

EngineerSo comparing the two, Nico carried, braked a little bit later, gained a tenth under braking for turn one, and he carried a bit more apex speed through turn ten. That's the places you lost out to.

EngineerYeah, maybe some gravel down exit turn two. Sorry, turn 12. A few cars have gone over it already.

EngineerOkay, track is showing slippery, turn 12 exit, that could be gravel.

EngineerJust have a look there's a slippery track exit of 12 possibly a little bit of gravel on the exit curve of 12 So have a look now as you come through Few cars have already been through that Slargent is going too slow. Slargent will be going into a slow. Yeah

Engineerand biggest loss turn 10 is worth a couple of tenths turn 12 another tenth strong start to the lap

Lewis HAMILTONAll right, that's

Engineerthe

Lewis HAMILTONend. My bad.

Lance STROLLYeah, I think he's alone on the track.

EngineerAnd target is blue 3, before turn 10, nobody behind

Yuki TSUNODARemind me, or feedback Yeah

EngineerAnd Daniel, turn 1, 2, 3, anything we need to look at there? We didn't see a jump.

Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, I was going to say, that was weird, I felt no difference, even with the other switches, I didn't gain anything.

EngineerWhat do you mean, sorry, anything in terms of grip? Nope, no

Daniel RICCIARDOI didn't feel any difference compared to the previous tyre, it only came later.

EngineerYeah, we think we had more headwind before turn 1, but what about car speed in GLS?

Yuki TSUNODAAnd I think also last corner, I think battery was gone and I lost quite a lot. Two.

EngineerYep.

Yuki TSUNODAOne.

EngineerBehind. Yeah, battery will... It was not good, so we'll have a fix for the next. Where I'm losing? Box, box, through the pit lane, through the pit lane to cool the tyre, through the pit lane and we go out again.

Sergio PEREZOk, no immediate threat, so balance feedback when you can. Yeah, one thing, I ran out of battery towards the end of the lap. Yeah,

Engineerwe can clear your

Sergio PEREZbalance feedback, we can take care of that. In terms of the balance, I was just... The rotation on the front end was getting better, together with the entry stability. I think I was missing a bit of entry stability. Do you need more low speed stability?

EngineerIf

Sergio PEREZso, no problem. Yes.

Yuki TSUNODAWhat's the point while we're doing one more push?

EngineerYu-Gi-Oh will stay out to do the start at the end So we can do one more. If you don't want to, we come through the pit lane, we do starts now.

Yuki TSUNODAI can try.

EngineerBrake shape 0, we suggest, and open diff for 5, 7 and 10.

Carlos SAINZYeah, I don't agree, I'm certainly more with the rotations than the diff.

EngineerOk, you can use more of the track in exit turn 10.

EngineerYes, we've seen it

Lando NORRISYeah, he just drove into me. I think I've got damage. Okay, understood.

EngineerI think Lando may have some damage after some contact with Leclerc.

Esteban OCONYeah copy, the stability in 3 and 1 and 7 is not the best also The understeer mid corner was better with the flap

EngineerOK mate, I understand We'll have a good look through the data when we're in, decide where we go from here OK, well I managed that session, a few procedures and things to do as well, so quite a busy one, thank you for that So we're going to the grid and we'll do a start on the left hand side And we'll be pushing to pit entry once again I'll let you know about burnouts when we're there We'll be right back

EngineerThis could probably be the most relevant launch of the weekend, Max, so make use of it.

EngineerI don't understand why they do that. I think he blocked that as well.

Engineeryou approach the back if we can have launch map on then it'll be one plus one burnout conservative left hand side that's one plus one conservative left hand side

Lando NORRISconservative or standard conservative please

Pierre GASLYCopy. We've got to do something for these brakes because they are really bad.

EngineerOK, mate.

Alexander ALBONYou've got to be careful with the brakes, because I was abusing them a bit.

EngineerYeah, we should have guys there with fans. Temps are okay from outside.
