16:33GASGaslyThere is so much dust on track, especially last sector. Yeah, we have seen it on TV.0:0816:35HARHartleyPitPitYeah, it's not too much to comment on at the moment, obviously I was very far away from the limit. Ok, one thing to highlight, that the front left disc didn't wake up, so we need to put more energy in the brakes in the outlap. Ok, copy.0:1616:38STRStrollThe dash is not bright enough. Can I make it brighter? OK, just watch the Vettel. He's four seconds back. It's multi -A, orange, dim, smaller number, brighter dash.0:1716:41VETVettelPitPitI'm out of 5, K1 test. OK, copy. Then I take a breather. OK, copy. So wait for K1.0:1316:42VERVerstappenWe have some weird flying going on.0:0616:44STRStrollYeah, the front is not very good, mid -corner.0:0916:47VETVettelPitPit2 more laps, so cool down now and push for the next, next being in engine 4, and track is clear behind.0:1316:50HAMHamiltonPitPitIn terms of sectors, just down in middle sector, 2 tenths, and down final sector, nearly 4 tenths. Biggest weakness, braking for turn 14, but you did have traffic.0:1516:54RAIRaikkonenPitPitKimi will be a long change, about half an hour, if you want to jump out or stay into the car as you prefer.0:0916:56HAMHamiltonMassive de -brakes all out there.0:0616:56HULHulkenbergPitPitMy rear tyre temps are not showing. No, we have a problem, so I cannot tell you, sorry. Nico, could you go to SOC 13 for one lap discharge, please? So, confirming rear tyre temperature and pressure sensors are not working.0:2016:57SAISainzYeah, a bit of a snap over here in the corner, especially turn 5. Biggest issue at the moment. I needed to go to entry 9 just to make sure I didn't get it. Ok, copy that.0:1816:59GROGrosjeanPitPitOK, I'm checking with the guys on that.0:0617:02PERPerezPitPitYou can brake later in turn 1 and 5.0:0717:02VANVandoornePitPitAnd stop. We still see some overlap, throttle and brake, so keep an eye on that.0:0917:04VERVerstappenOk, car is still like a handbrake, I can't turn the wheel properly. Understood.0:0817:05HARHartleyI got blocked. Force India. I don't know what he was doing, but anyway.0:0717:06PERPerezPitPitWe can do one more cool, one more push, but the cool lap cannot be any longer than it was before, so aim for plus 40, plus 40 for timing.0:1217:07RICRicciardoDriver abilities, talk to that lap. Understood. You can go back to mode 4, mode 4.0:0817:08HARHartleyPitPitThe start of the lap is coming together, okay?0:0517:12HARHartleyPitPitI do have some washout understeer, especially at the start of the lap.0:0817:15GASGaslyOk, we need to do something for the front brakes, all the time I start the lap I have massive pulling into the hand, I cannot brake properly, so much pulling to the left, and we need to improve the tractions, the combined traction is really poor. Ok, we are looking at it.0:2217:22HAMHamiltonPitPitThis is my left, it's OK, it's OK. OK, we'll have a look. OK, so it looks like there's a bit of bottoming into Turn 1, that may cause that front under -rotation.0:1117:24HARHartleyPitPitYou can overtake Sirodkin if you want. If you can't overtake, don't get too close.0:0717:24HAMHamiltonPitPitTrack is starting to get busy.0:0417:26HARHartleyPitPitCharging on as soon as you can. Yeah, way too much understeer. Focus on recharge. Way too much understeer.0:1217:27HAMHamiltonPitPitLewis, if you think you want to go once more, you can, track's getting busy though, we have 14 cars out there now.0:1317:29ALOAlonsoPitPitNo DRS back. OK, understood.0:0617:32RICRicciardoAudio only17:32RICRicciardoPitPitI know the numbers are a bit lower than we talked about, but if the grip's there, that's OK.0:0817:35VERVerstappenPitPitLooking for some apex speed at 5 and 9, 5 and 9.0:0817:37RICRicciardoHas anyone improved on the second lap? Vettel improved, middle sector.0:1017:39RICRicciardoPitPitYou can chill in the corners, but just keep up the pace and straight stop at the battery.0:0917:46SIRSirotkinPitPitWe'd like to try and open a push lap and we'll just see how this flat spot is. Copy.0:1017:47PERPerezPitPitFirst gear, well done, getting in. Understood, let's do a launch.0:0617:48HAMHamiltonPitPitWhy are you not giving time updates? Vouchers had 3 slow laps.0:0917:52ALOAlonsoPitPitAnd there's a few... Low power, low power. Understood, stand by. And it will recover. And it should have recovered by now. Okay, stand by.0:2017:53VERVerstappenPitPitFor reference, Mercedes on softs.0:0717:53ALOAlonsoPitPitFernando, it's possible a lot of cars are out on high fuel.0:0817:54PERPerezPitPitCheckers at the moment. The only cars on softs are ourselves and Mercedes.0:1017:56VANVandoornePitPitWe've lost hydraulic pressure. Box now. Cool the brakes. Scenario 1. Scenario 1.0:1017:58LECLeclercPitPitAh, sorry guys, my fault, I touched the wall, I'm in the front right, it's damaged, they are putting extinguisher, but it's only the brakes that are fuming, but it's fine, no?0:2417:59RICRicciardoAudio only17:59VERVerstappenIs the right front. Understood. Use your tools to help it.0:0718:01RICRicciardoPitPitSo it does look like it was a good first lap, and then everyone settled down a bit. Side temperatures have now peaked, so this is the grip that you're going to get.0:13
