11:59HULHulkenbergPitPitAnd Nico, could we have a second gear start when the green light goes, which is in just under 20 seconds.0:0812:00HULHulkenbergPitPitGreen light.0:0312:01STRStrollPitPitGo out lap, go out lap.0:0412:01RAIRaikkonenPitPitAnd multifunction GX4 when you can. Multifunction GX4.0:0712:03STRStrollPitPitOK lads, so we will stay on the option tyre, stay on the option tyre. OK.0:0912:04VERVerstappenPitPitDisplay 13, position 6. Display 1 -3, position 6. Once you've got that, B bow 3 and reverse off before 16.0:1212:05LECLeclercPitPitSo Charles, all ok on engine side, we do the run now, and we need multi B, brake compensation 7, brake compensation 7, and shift 3, shift 3, quality push, quality push.0:1712:05HULHulkenbergPitPitA reminder for top left modifier in sector 1.0:0512:06MAGMagnussenPitPitYou can drop some temperatures in the last chicane.0:0512:07HAMHamiltonPitPitCan't actually see you on GPS, so just struggling with gaps at the moment, but I think you're all clear behind. Got Gasly at the last chicane, Valtteri is somewhere near you, not sure if you're ahead or behind. Vibrations in the tyres. OK, copy.0:1812:10VETVettelPitPitRain now, rain, quite heavy rain in 13, 14. Copy. I think it's quite heavy rain. Can you start the lap? Well, I can try, but I might have to abort because it was quite heavy. Van Goghshen 4 behind, coming fast.0:2412:13SIRSirotkinPitPitOK, Sergei, we'll take a cool down there. How's the track condition from your side? Would you like to try another lap? Yeah, I think I had a bit of traffic in sector 1 and I got quite a bit more rain through the Spoon, so I had to back it off. Yeah, let me do the cool down lap. Once I arrive to the Spoon I see if there's more rain there or not and I decide. Is that OK for you? Yeah, give me some feedback when we get to the Spoon and we'll decide from there.0:2912:13VETVettelPitPitRain is coming also on the pit lane now.0:0612:14BOTBottasPitPitThis rain is going to be about 10 minutes long so it should dry again. Yeah, happy to box.0:0712:15HAMHamiltonPitPitCheck your beaming, it's an error.0:0412:16HAMHamiltonPitPitOK, well, no need to take any risks, but, you know, we think it's looking reasonable. Actually, so, saying that, just getting rain in the pit lane now.0:1212:17MAGMagnussenPitPitOk, I think now rain has become heavy.0:0512:19MAGMagnussenPitPitLet's be careful stopping on the marks because it was pretty slippery. I think Roman unlocked the tyres.0:0812:19OCOOconPitPitSo the box is very slippery, so just steady into the box.0:1012:32BOTBottasPitPitSo the track is clear.0:0612:32BOTBottasPitPitClutch position 2 % deep, so box, box, box for another start, just keep as advised on the track conditions, tyre temperatures on your dash should now be good.0:1412:34BOTBottasPitPitJust confirmation, first gear start, and signal burnout.0:0812:34BOTBottasPitPitClutch position was on target, so box, box, box.0:0512:35HAMHamiltonPitPitI'll set this ugly.0:0412:35HAMHamiltonPitPitSo tyre taps are cool, and clutch position was on target.0:0612:36ALOAlonsoPitPitSo let's have a rolling clutch scrub, bike point find, and then second gear launch, target 37.0:0812:36RAIRaikkonenPitPitAnd Kimi will be a starter straight out of the garage. We can go to lab mode race. We don't need burnout, we don't need by -point. We'll be just lab mode race, K2 on, and start with one red.0:1612:38RICRicciardoPitPitJust remember, kerbs and astroturf.0:0512:39ALOAlonsoPitPitWind conditions look similar to our first run and SOC 4 please, SOC 4. Track conditions look okay to us, how are they for you? Same as I told you. Okay, in which case we'd like to get a read on this change.0:1512:40RAIRaikkonenPitPitHow is the dock, Kimi? Yeah, it's okay.0:0512:40STRStrollPitPitTyre switch to QALY, tyre switch to QALY.0:0412:41RAIRaikkonenPitPitNo traffic behind, Kimi, and we are doing the pit stop for the new set of tyres. How is the wing? Yeah, a little bit too much on this set at least, but... We leave it or we drop it? Uh, quarter. Quarterless, copy. So it will be quarterless, Kimi, quarterless. Yeah.0:2312:43HULHulkenbergIt feels a bit like a big one that, you know, with the first few laps we've done too much damage to the tyres. Copy that, Nico. So I guess you're saying there's no point doing the next lap? Well, I don't think I will go faster. Tyres just had it. Copy that. It's entirely up to you, mate.0:1812:45GASGaslyI'm really down on power, guys. Copy, Pierre, we are looking. I have a lot of oscillation and just don't have any power. Copy, we can see it.0:1412:46SAISainzYeah, I could only improve my sector 3. Yeah, understood. Sector 1 and 2 is too oversteery.0:0912:51GROGrosjeanI don't know if I'm not starting the lap too cold, it's twice in a row on the first push lap I've got no grip. Ok, from all around? Ah, it's the left side.0:1612:52SAISainzYeah, nothing special, just too much oversteer on the car right now. OK, understood. Shall we do less than the two steps for the next set? Yeah, let's do just one step.0:1512:56HARHartleyI went up a couple of times, unfortunately. Anything to do with the balance? No, I barely went related.0:1012:57RICRicciardoPitPitYeah, I heard traffic. Yeah, I saw that. Don't know what they're doing.0:0512:59RICRicciardoPitPitOK, so we'll just follow the delta on the way and just maintain position, and then when you get into the pit lane, we want to create a gap. Verstappen is only 10 seconds ahead, so we need to back right off in the pit lane, so that he can get out of the way, and we can do a run -pit stop, alright? Understood. Are we running again, or that's it? We will not have time to run again, that is it.0:2412:59RICRicciardoPitPitGap is looking good, so you can just be normal in the pit lane.0:04
