10:02NORNorrisPitPitAnd a reminder in the pit lane, slow to 30 kph, then accelerate to pit lane speed limiter, repeat that twice please, and then we'll be stopping in front of our garage, stop in front of our garage.0:1210:04RICRicciardoPitPitOk DRS on. I don't have activation.0:0510:14NORNorrisPitPitAnd no special instructions in the pit lane, and this time we'll stop on the marks please, stop on the marks.0:1010:15GASGaslyPitPitOK Pierre, anti -stall, test in first gear, approaching the box.0:0710:20RAIRaikkonenOK, let's put both front tyres back on. OK.0:0710:24VETVettelOk, tyres are suffering, just very superficial.0:0910:26VETVettelPitPitI think it's a waste of running like this.0:0510:26HARHartleyCheck the car, I'm pulling on the brake into turn 12, and then a lot of front locking last corner, something feels strange. The brakes are cold, we'll look at it, but the brakes are cold.0:1410:28LATLatifiPitPitHow is the balance, Nicholas? It's difficult to really comment on it. The track is just really dirty, so it's just really a lot of four -wheel sliding.0:1110:31STRStrollPitPitAnd some feedback, you just braked a little bit late for turn 12. Yeah.0:0910:33PERPerezI lost a bit the front tires.0:0410:37SAISainzYeah, DRS are finished. I don't know, maybe we need to go down that, or something like that.0:0810:39GROGrosjeanHave the switches changed anything at the braking? I don't think the switches have changed anything, it's just the fronts aren't very good. No, no, no. I really don't know what to do. I understand what you're saying, but definitely in sector 3, the rear on that lap was a nightmare. Yes, okay.0:2610:40HARHartleyBrutal traffic. The Williams right in the middle of the road. Keep pushing, we have no more time. Yeah, he almost ran me off the road, mate. Can you send a message about the Williams, mate? That was a joke.0:1510:41VERVerstappenThey blocked me in the last sector, so now his lap is also f***ed. Understood mate.0:0910:53ERIEricssonPitPitWe need a bit more work on the front brakes, they are a bit cold at the moment.0:0610:58HAMHamiltonPitPitA lot of dips of power in that run. Do you see the drop of power there? Affirm, we believe we can see it, and we'll let you know what it's all about.0:1011:02HARHartleyOK, he's just blocked me, almost taken me off the track. F***ing bunch of avatars. Yeah, he's a w***. Yeah, copy, I'll cool down. Yeah, the stupid Nazi's an idiot. Copy that.0:1511:04HAMHamiltonHow is that sector -wise? So compared to Valtteri, you're still just over a tenth faster than him, and a tenth in the middle sector, tenth in the final sector. I seem to get a drop in power. OK, copy Lewis, it's understood, not a reliability concern, we'll have a chat about it when you get back.0:2011:06BOTBottasPitPitJust try and cool those tyres as much as you can, there is a raging hog.0:0611:07VERVerstappenThe brakes are pulling a bit in the front. OK, temperatures are reasonably square, just have a positive braking event into turn 12.0:1011:09HAMHamiltonAny way to stop the drop of power? Negative loose, we'll need to do that in the garage.0:1011:12VETVettelOk, fronts are flat spotted, I had a sudden lock, braking for one.0:0711:17HARHartleyPitPitThe rear lock is a bit too high now in the last sector, consider offset 2 .0 for the next lap. Yeah, come for that, good idea.0:0911:21HARHartleyYep, tyres, fairlake, purple, go.0:0411:22MAGMagnussenThe tyres that you will come.0:0411:23HARHartleyPitPitYeah, the tyres are falling to pieces, guys.0:0411:24GROGrosjeanBest track I'm on the wet.0:0411:26GROGrosjeanOk, I'm trying to stay on track here, and it's not as easy as it could be. Ok, you can box now, box if it's take 5. I don't know if I can clear it, I'm trying, but... I don't think there's any energy in the circuit to clear it, so yeah, I don't think it'll clear.0:1911:27GROGrosjeanVery, very, very, very, very understeering.0:0611:27STRStrollPitPitYeah, the rear is, like, completely cut. Gasly, if we keep pace at 20, low 23, it's OK. Ah, it's finally gonna get worse.0:1411:28HULHulkenbergPitPitUnderstood Nico, everyone's in the same boat by the look of it.0:0811:29HARHartleyPitPitPushing the pit entry? Yeah, mate, with these tyres, I'm not pushing.0:0511:31VERVerstappenI went wide so I had to take the exit road. OK.0:0711:31SAISainzPitPitOk Carlos, we have to box this lap please, recharge on, box this lap. Why? We have an issue. One minute. Ok, copy that.0:1011:31HULHulkenbergCopy that Nico, in that case we should box.0:08
