15:00ALOAlonsoPitPit3 proper time -lapse, so in a slow -fast, slow -fast, slow -fast arrangement.0:0815:05VANVandoornePitPitSo, Magnussen is the car behind. He's 5 seconds behind. Fernando, 11 seconds behind Magnussen. We want to pick Fernando up in turn 10.0:1015:08HULHulkenbergTrading to sub 4. Feels good, the grip. Copy that.0:0715:08STRStrollPitPitJust watch for Sainz behind on his time -lapse. They're a bit late there.0:0715:12ERIEricssonIt feels like after the gear changes, it's not pulling cleanly after the gear shifts, upshifts. All the gears? Yeah.0:1115:13RAIRaikkonenIs there some rain now? Maybe there is some water coming from the car in front, so I have some spots on the horizon. Copy. At the moment we don't have rain from our tyre spotters.0:1515:18VETVettelI have some sort of vibrations at this speed and rev range with the constant speed.0:1115:18GROGrosjeanWe don't have any more laps, do we? We should save them for high fuel, yeah. We need more mileage in general. I need more laps. It's very difficult to drive, so I do need more laps. We can do one more push then, so we'll go for one more push.0:1915:19SIRSirotkinThere is an obvious increase in grip, but it's every time someone in the last sector ruins the lap.0:0715:22RICRicciardoPitPitIf the tyres are hanging in, we can't go for another lap, up to you. I saw, as usual, Hamilton got in the way in the last corner.0:0815:22STRStrollBlue car, too much oversteer in high speed.0:0515:31VERVerstappenWe're super slow on this straight. Understood, carry up.0:0715:34VERVerstappenPitPitWould you like another go? Yeah, we can try, I mean the behaviour of this is a bit different, more neutral, but we can try. Ok, understood.0:1215:38RICRicciardoYeah, fronts, fronts, all rears weren't ready to start the lap.0:0615:38PERPerezPitPitCheckout just cautioned with running wide exit turn 4 for pace.0:0615:38BOTBottasPitPitSo, you don't think there's another lap in the tyre? Give it a go, but I'll try and drop the temperatures even more.0:0815:41HARHartleyPitPitWe are still losing too much in the middle sector, we are still losing too much in the middle sector. Yeah, copy. Can't carry the same speed as the other car. Main difference is braking, we are braking much earlier than the other car.0:1315:43ERIEricssonPitPitSector 2 is excellent, but we need to focus on Sector 1 and Sector 3. That's where we lose. What do you want to do? One more lap, please. Copy. One more lap.0:1315:43STRStrollI hit the front end really aggressively. Turn 2. Check the car.0:0715:45LECLeclercI tried using the kerb for braking, but it was too much.0:0615:47VANVandoornePitPitStop. Fernando looked to do quite well with the tow. I think there's no problem to go behind him if he wants to go in front.0:0615:52STRStrollAh, made a mistake. OK, copy that, and we can box then, we'll box.0:0715:54VERVerstappenPitPitI want to reset my lap. Display 12, position 1, display 12, position 1. Safety car. No, display 12, position 2 please, display 12, position 2. Yeah, that's what I'm having. Ok, position 1 now, position 1.0:2316:04VERVerstappenPitPitOk, stick with it, Max. Has it stabilised or is it getting a little worse? It's not easy to drive, that's the problem.0:1016:04HULHulkenbergOk, we need to box, tyres are naked. Copy that Niko. Niko, we're thinking of 18 turns down on the front wing for when you stop. Talk to me in my money, we never took turns.0:1616:08OCOOconFirst gear is quite slow to get in.0:0416:08VETVettelPitPitIs that car okay? Yeah, it's fine.0:0516:10RICRicciardoYeah, so, main legs on the front left at the moment. Understood.0:0616:11VANVandoornePitPitWe should try to clear up this graining if possible, try to clear up the graining if we can.0:0516:11RAIRaikkonenAmazon is gone. Understood.0:0716:14SAISainzPitPitOk, and how are the tyres? Feels like they are coming back a bit, but just a bit. Ok, understood.0:0816:16GASGaslyTruck delivery is really bad in the last sector, especially the penalty made corner. Go back on power, I have nothing.0:1016:17RAIRaikkonenPitPitTo the left, it's also perfect. That night feels almost like I have a punchdown to the left. Copy.0:1016:17VETVettelYou want me to go through traffic or catch it all the time? Try to pass it, try to pass it if you can.0:0716:18VETVettelPitPitMini racing everybody here, no better gap, but you won't be too mini racing. Grosjean I guess is coming in soon, and Ericsson as well in front.0:1116:21RICRicciardoPitPitHow are the tyres, Daniel? How are the tyres? Front's stabilised, rear's taken a little hit, which helped the ballast. OK, understood.0:1216:26RICRicciardoDid anyone else go long on the Ultra? Or has anyone gone long on the Hyper? Magnussen on the Hyper, did around, similar stint to you, he started 42 .8, he ended up similar at the end, 42 .9s, 42 .7s, he did about 15, 16 laps. Gasly went long on the Ultra, started 40 .8, 41 .4, finished 41 .1, 40 .6 maybe.0:3216:27STRStrollPitPitI think something might be broken, or it's actually curved, as the car is pulling to the left a lot. OK, copy, we can see the high flat spot.0:11
