14:55HAMHamiltonAudio only15:01BOTBottasThe steering is still a bit right hand down. Copy that, we can have a look.0:1015:02ALBAlbonPitPitEverybody's on prototypes, apart from Giovinazzi who's on a hard, but everybody around you is on protos, same as you.0:1115:02VERVerstappenCan the dash brightness go down a little bit? Display 8, position 12 for the dash.0:1115:04GASGaslyAudio only15:05GROGrosjeanPitPitDo you want consistent running, right? Consistent running, yes, please. F***ing Mercedes, f***ing... Press oil pump button, press oil pump button.0:1315:06SAISainzPitPitCarlos, headwind has died down in turn 4, wind is a bit calmer now, and wind direction is pretty much parallel to the start of the straight. Yeah, I can feel that. You're also into turn 11, there's less headwind and I miss the apex.0:1815:08GASGaslyWhy doesn't let me pass this? What the hell? What the hell is he doing? Yeah, what the...0:1315:08VERVerstappenPitPitHa! You should have seen that.0:0515:09KVYKvyatPitPitWe do a double cooldown, double cooldown. You have a push toggle for turn 6 and 13 for the understeer. Push toggle. Yeah, but I will not be able to go back on time before turn 8. Copy, can you do it turn 13? Turn 13 I use the push toggle already now. Copy, sorry, copy.0:2815:10VETVettelThese tyres had massive understeer, so I would come up a little bit, but I don't think these tyres are any relevant.0:1015:13ALBAlbonThe low speed feels pretty neutral. Ok, Raikkonen approaching now. Watch your mirrors, Raikkonen now.0:0715:14ALBAlbonPitPitHow's the low speed balance changed during the run? Question. No, but the medium speed, I'm getting so much understeer now. Yeah, okay, understood. Max also has the same feedback on these tyres. So understeer has grown compared to normal.0:1915:15VERVerstappenHe's out in front of me, he's drifting very nicely. Yeah, Hamilton.0:0815:15HAMHamiltonPitPitDon't don't grip on here.0:0615:15NORNorrisPitPitUrgent, default 0 -3, 0 -3. Confirm.0:0715:17NORNorrisPitPitAnd opportunity, focus, exit of turn 10, pushing the entry less will help.0:0815:19RUSRussellBrakes felt average, traction improved, still a little bit neutral mid to exit, Norris. He is within 2 now.0:1415:26ALBAlbonPitPitSo tail, the wind is a lot less than it was this morning. You've only got maybe a 5, Hamilton on your tail now. You've only got 5k wind, tail wind into turn 1 this morning, it's 20. So there's a bit of a difference there compared to this morning.0:1815:28ALBAlbonPitPitWhat do you think about the tyres so far? They just lose so much front grip on the second push.0:1015:28VERVerstappenNo, not happening.0:0315:28SAISainzWhat lap time are the others doing on this medium? Best lap time on this medium is Perez, 29 .5, don't think we quite got the scenario we expected, scenario switch is good. Yeah 29 .5 is quicker, I don't think we can get there on this compound.0:2015:28SAISainzYou didn't tell me about the Williams here.0:0515:29GASGaslyPitPitOn Dani's 1 tenth behind, only place we lost compared to Dani was a little bit entry turn 8, on the first push lap. I think we pushed the entry of turn 4 a bit too much on this last lap, same in turn 9 -10.0:1415:30OCOOconPitPitOK, Sman, no threats behind at the moment. Just on turn 1 locking, our only suggestion is to try to get more of the braking done earlier, so hitting a higher peak pressure initially, slowing the car down a little bit more at the start, so you can come off the brakes earlier. Copy, yup.0:2115:32KVYKvyatPitPitAre you still understeer limited? Well, now also a bit of rear came and also the traction becomes weaker now after the first push lap, so it's a bit of everything now, but I have more snaps and in those corners there, turn 11, I had a bit more washout than before, like I don't think this tyre is going to get a lot better, so. Do you think we are going to learn more in the next push? Not a lot, to be honest, not a lot, but we can try. Let's try and if it's a waste of time, we box. Yeah, exactly, let's decide after turn 10. Copy.0:5215:34RICRicciardoPitPitJust a reminder to make sure the brakes are ready. Yep, understood.0:0915:34RAIRaikkonenOk, you have to tell earlier about the traffic I was in, turn 1. Ok.0:0715:38VETVettelGetting quite heavy vibrations at the end of straights. Okay, understood.0:0915:38RICRicciardoPitPitAnd how was the balance? Yeah, it was more consistent than the morning, and less aggressive. Okay, so watch out for Norris, 4 seconds behind, 3 seconds now. Yep, that's cool. The marker was for turn 6, it was a bit of understeer with ride, turn 6. Yep, copy that.0:3015:40VETVettelGrip was a bit worse second lap, not too bad, but I played around a little bit and messed up some corners.0:0815:40VETVettelPitPitVibrations are still there, I am. They are getting a bit worse to be honest. We are the new lockups. I think we should be seeing them. We are preparing to rebalance also this one for the high fuel.0:1715:42ALBAlbonPitPitSo yeah, temperature's still up high, so we'll go for a second cool down lap, I suggest we box this lap, drive through the pit lane please, box this lap.0:1015:42VERVerstappenPitPitOK, we'll do a double slowmix. It's a red light of power, before the line. Understood, copy.0:1315:44GASGaslyPitPitAnd I don't understand, I don't get it. There was no reason to stay in front of you. Yeah, they don't give a ****. We lost two tents, I'm really sorry. There was no reason to stay there.0:1215:46ALBAlbonPitPitOK Leclerc, are you OK? I'm fine. OK mate.0:0815:47ALBAlbonOh, sorry guys.0:0515:58RICRicciardoYeah, I just saw, I don't know if it was a dog or a cat, maybe it's for that.0:0916:00VETVettelPitPitI don't see it. Or should we say, who let the dogs out?0:1316:01VETVettelPitPitIf I had known that dogs were allowed, I would have brought mine, but he's in quarantine, so it wouldn't work out.0:1216:01RUSRussellPitPitYep, we're still good to do the single lap. Good. I guess it depends how good their dog -catching skills are.0:0716:01KVYKvyatPitPitThere was a dog on track. It's not a joke, it's a reality.0:0616:05HAMHamiltonPitPitSo it looks like we've got a loose dog on track. Open stop Roscoe. No, it's not him.0:1016:08GROGrosjeanPitPitOk, I'm drivable.0:1016:09RUSRussellOh my word!0:0416:10VERVerstappenJesus Christ, what is this horse doing? Unbelievable.0:0716:13VERVerstappenPitPitOK, Max, we will box this lap. Keep up the pace, please. Keep pushing on the wind and box this lap.0:0816:13VERVerstappenPitPitCan I have a front wing update? Yeah, that's all good, tyres just died.0:0916:15KVYKvyatJust losing overall grip, a bit of everything, entering stability, understeer, poor traction. Ok Dani, everybody is struggling the same way, similar lap times to competitors.0:1616:17HAMHamiltonPitPitThat's a P1, 3 .5 tenths to Verstappen P2. We have 13 minutes remaining. I suggest we get at least a check on the long run balance, let me know what you think.0:1316:17GASGaslyPitPitUpdate on tyres again when you can. They are dead. Dead.0:1016:22KVYKvyatI have so much oversteer, I'm barely turning in the corners anymore. So what you wanna do? Entry 8, entry 8.0:1116:25LATLatifiThe rears are already gone, it's crazy.0:0816:26BOTBottasPitPitSo, matching Verstappen initial laps.0:0716:27MAGMagnussenPitPitOK, Kevin, just some general feedback. If you focus on the exits and push the entries less, just give that a try. We'll have two more timed.0:1116:29RUSRussellIt's just the front's are too cold. Copy. There'll be one lap remaining.0:0716:32SAISainzWhat was the people doing on the C3? This is quite variable, so we'll have a look after, but Racing Point were able to do low 36s for 10 laps, let's say, and then they look like they have a bit more deg after that.0:1616:34GASGaslyAlright, they stopped me at the bridge when I was almost past, like, that was stupid, but anyway.0:1016:34GASGaslyAlright, they stopped me at the bridge when I was almost past, like, that was stupid, but anyway.0:09
