Engineer: And it's going to be headwind into turn 115 APH.
Engineer: And Lando, we are happy with this time.
Lando NORRIS: Confirmed.
Engineer: As
Lewis HAMILTON: far as there's glory.
Engineer: Okay, wind speed is 15 kph, headwind out of 12 or into 1.
George RUSSELL: Jack Peel is very smooth at the moment under that tree. Very smooth.
Engineer: And Lando Minor, purple default 2-2, purple default 2-2 for the beeps.
Engineer: We can go engine 4 and DRS on. Engine 4, DRS on.
ZHOU Guanyu: I require a double charge straight away. It's overheating. Copy that.
Audio only, no transcript available for this message.
Nico HULKENBERG: The problem with the left mirror lens, it's a bit loose, it's going upwards, you can't really see much there.
Engineer: Just work front left through 17, 18 with surface temp.
Engineer: So back off car ahead is Bottas, 10 ahead and Norris 15, so you're okay.
George RUSSELL: Brakes aren't feeling spectacular and ride up a low speed, it's just the cars hopping a little bit at the apex.
Engineer: And please select engine 1 for the last push, Fioretti, on this compound, Magnussen 5 behind.
Engineer: Over winged as in, rear winged, not from the wing. 5 seconds on a lap, yeah ok, I was trying to understand that comment.
Engineer: Please can we have a CSL6?
Engineer: so that's 200 kph down to 11 you can go recharge off as well for that
Yuki TSUNODA: I think the way I personally brake hard, strong braking zone, I think I keep looking at the front, front under rotation, and that's creating a bit of understeer, good corner.
Engineer: For turn 12, consider delaying initial turning too much combined.
Engineer: Lando opportunity back off braking turn 1 turn 11 focus on exit
Engineer: Start safe now, you just set the strut two? Yes, strut two, please. You haven't got it yet?
Liam LAWSON: If I can do another double cool, or at least a slow cool, I would like another one.
Engineer: I'll keep you posted.
Liam LAWSON: Only turn 1 I struggle with stability, like the low speed there, it's not really the same through the rest of the track, so can we use the toggle for turn 1?
Engineer: We're not sure how much fuel is in Colapinto's car, so we'll try and build a decent gap to him.
Audio only, no transcript available for this message.
Engineer: And energy button please, energy button, that's good. No DRS.
Fernando ALONSO: It doesn't work.
Engineer: I
Fernando ALONSO: don't know why we don't go to one copy for the night.
Audio only, no transcript available for this message.
Engineer: Brake pressure in a few places, Apex turn 1, turn 11 Are you conscious about this question? Yeah, I don't feel like I'm doing it, but for
Liam LAWSON: me it's super unstable on the way in I don't feel like I'm going to lose the car, but whether I brake early or late, I can't seem to do anything about it Yeah, for me it's rolling the speed, so whether I push the entry or don't push the entry, I can't roll the speed with the car
Engineer: Copy that, let's bear in mind we're on hard, I'm going on soft, we may suffer a bit more front limitation, we'll have a look
Pierre GASLY: Yeah, a lot of fantasy to finish it up.
Engineer: How many? Scenario 3, please. We're in 4 at the moment.
Max VERSTAPPEN: I don't think I can charge the battery.
Engineer: Yeah, we'll go for a double slow-max.
Engineer: Just for info in turn seven we're much quicker than other people and then we have a lot of understeer in eight
Nico HULKENBERG: Yep, I noticed that too.
Engineer: Could you go to multifunction AQR1, please? Multifunction AQR1.
Kevin MAGNUSSEN: Is Alonzo... Is Alonzo State of Elapse? Don't know.
Engineer: Don't know. Um, no DRS, please.
Engineer: We will need multifunction DO position 12 multifunction DO position 12
Engineer: Purple default zero alpha X. Purple default zero alpha X.
Engineer: For the S's consider back right toggle
Engineer: So a tear-off reminder, if you like, on that one.
Engineer: And spark one, spark one, watch the fronts in turn eight.
Engineer: You can try mode F1.
George RUSSELL: Under balance by 0.7 currently.
George RUSSELL: Low speed tailwind by Paul
George RUSSELL: Think about what I said in the garage regarding the c5 c4 Hey
Engineer: Turn 11, diff is too open. Do not use the toggle turn 11. Other car is one gear down for rotation.
Engineer: On low fuel turn 7 we were a lot faster
Franco COLAPINTO: Are we targeting zero?
Engineer: Yeah, targeting zero, number 10-12, you got, 10-2-U, on lap
George RUSSELL: Marker for steering angle, turn 15, stock in front.
George RUSSELL: So who points us out a bit more than we spoke about?
Engineer: AFER, we'll do that.
Yuki TSUNODA: But I'm
Engineer: going
Yuki TSUNODA: to be stuck with the cool-down lap guys.
Franco COLAPINTO: Hamilton really blocked me in
Engineer: the
Franco COLAPINTO: highskins, so I think I lost quite a bit of them for them. Yeah, yeah, we saw that. We saw that.
Lewis HAMILTON: And speed in that first sector, the 4 to 7, just too low, apex speeds.
Engineer: correction Hulk is quick he's approaching turn one now then there's three seconds to Tsunoda
Engineer: So stop shot, stop shot and level up, please. Stop shot and level up.
Engineer: and white h14 position 11 white h14 position 11
Engineer: What's the target of the rear? We target plus 5 please, plus 5. Watch out, Verstappen.
George RUSSELL: Raidwood really poor there, turn 16, 17, sorry.
Engineer: So will be one short burnout target two reds right inside
Engineer: And the clutch was 3% shallow.
Engineer: Just check all the cornerways mate. Yeah will do. I've just pulled to the left, before the weighbridge, I think they're just going to call another car on.
Engineer: All okay. Yeah,
Pierre GASLY: just lost it on braking.
Engineer: When
Lewis HAMILTON: I come in you have to check those damn tires and check the floor.
ZHOU Guanyu: I have a problem, guys. I have no power. Yeah, it's not recovering. Stay in gear.
Engineer: copy so we saw what happened well done for avoiding the accident
George RUSSELL: Ride is definitely worse at this fuel load.
Engineer: There you go, you know what to say to players this weekend
George RUSSELL: But that turned four for Lewis, because I had a big moment there as well.
Engineer: Yeah, A, but it
George RUSSELL: looks like it was... That's weird. Yeah, have a look at mine, because I had something very similar there.
Max VERSTAPPEN: Ty, it's a little bit cold to start a lap. Roger that, Max.
Sergio PEREZ: The meanest throw was the ride in the low speed. I started to bounce a lot more.
Engineer: Yeah, copy.
George RUSSELL: Give me some feedback how wide drivers are running. Exit turn 9. Over that cab.
Engineer: So turn 9 exit Verstappen is right up to the blue line so he's right up to the limit.
Engineer: I don't have a second lap, right? No, you don't. Next car pushing is Noah.
