13:30NORNorrisAudio only13:30FITFittipaldiPitPitRadio check, pit exit. Copy, copy, radio check. I hear you loud and clear at turn 1.0:1213:32MAGMagnussenPitPitOK to push, OK to push.0:0613:34AITAitkenPitPitIt's clear behind, give us a radio check. Radio check, turn 1, turn 2, turn 3. Yep, copy, 1, 2, 3, loud and clear. And turn 4. Loud and clear, turn 4. Turn 6, turn 7, I missed turn 5. Copy, that's all good.0:2813:35SAISainzPitPitCarlos, we see a 20km headwind into turn 1.0:0513:36BOTBottasPitPitIn turn 6, clutch position 3 % shallow, box, box, box, it'll be pistol practice, break time circuit.0:1113:36SAISainzPitPitSo I need to turn left here, no? Yeah, that's correct, yeah, turn left there, go down this wiggly bit.0:0913:37BOTBottasAudio only13:37SAISainzYeah, all good. Yeah, loud and clear for me. You have a 28 second gap behind. Correction, those cars pitted, you're the only car on track. So I need to turn left here, no? Yeah. Yeah, that's correct, yeah, turn left there, go down this wiggly bit.0:1613:38SAISainzPitPitCarlos, you're the only car to have set a time. That means you're P1, purple in all sectors.0:0713:39KVYKvyatPitPitBox, box, Dani, box, stop in front of the garage. Steering wheel is slightly to the right. Understood.0:1213:40OCOOconPitPitAnd can we have recharge off before the start, please, Esteban? Recharge off.0:0713:41SAISainzPitPitBAL1 is available if you want to protect the rears on this cool down lap. What happened in exit turn 1, is the wind or the tyre going away? It does move to tailwind Carlos, think it's more like the tyre, not a big change since your first attempt.0:1913:42SAISainzPitPitLando's on a slow lap, Carlos, don't worry about Lando, he's seven seconds behind but he's on a slow lap.0:0813:44FITFittipaldiPitPitOK, and traffic wise, we have Giovinazzi leaving the pits, 12 seconds behind you, he's in sync, so he's on an outlap as well, so no traffic threat behind.0:1013:44RUSRussellPitPitOK George, so it'll be a bike point find. Any burnouts? Yeah, two burnouts if you can manage it. And it'll be bike point find, race start.0:1113:45RUSRussellPitPitAnd clutch position was on target.0:0613:47RUSRussellPitPitHow was DAS usage? Yeah, DAS looked good. It's all reset.0:1013:48SAISainzOk Carlos, box this lap. Copy, Carlos, box. Copy, box this lap. Yeah, where you feel the wind and the tyres going away is turn 2 and turn 4 a lot. Yeah, that's correct. Basically tailwind corners, if you don't have the rear support you're done.0:2213:52RUSRussellI'm having to take a double call now. Struggling a little bit with the rears. End up breaking into turbo.0:1113:52FITFittipaldiPitPitVettel 4 behind pushing, Vettel 3 behind pushing, Vettel 2 behind pushing, Vettel coming past you now. Next car will be Russell, he's 9 seconds back and he's pushing, remember to go mode push into the last corner. So Russell 6 seconds back on a push, Russell 5 seconds back on a push, and now mode push.0:2513:55RUSRussellPitPitJust a comment on the track, there is a lot of sand blowing through turn 6 from the right hand side. OK, roger.0:1113:55RUSRussellI'm struggling a lot, end of braking, turn 1, and then a bit mid -corner, understeer.0:1613:58VERVerstappenPitPitNo more threats behind. And VBAL 3, recharge off when you're ready. Increase gap to car ahead.0:1413:58AITAitkenPitPitOK, we'll take a slow lap, target plus 30, so we can afford to drop back on the straights as well to get the cool down lap time, plus 30, 3 -0, last time around was about 18, just watch your mirrors, 2 seconds for Russell, then Albon, then Stroll, potentially Albon pushing, just watch your mirrors.0:2113:59AITAitkenManaging the brake temps on these thrown -ups is quite difficult.0:0814:01GASGaslyYeah, the rear is so bad in turn 1.0:0714:02GASGaslyPitPitDaniel 2 behind pushing, watch your mirrors please.0:0514:03RUSRussellPitPitLooks like there's more road to use exit turn 8.0:0814:04VERVerstappenI think my brakes are not working the same anymore. OK, we can see a slight drop off in friction, but nothing in terms of reliability concerned at the moment, Max, so leave it with you.0:1414:05SAISainzPitPitOk Carlos, we can see the car is more neutral, there's only 5 and a half minutes remaining in P140, so we suggest to keep this balance the same, keep the front wing the same if you want to do another lap, there's not really time otherwise. So we take off lap, by doing once faster should be time. Yeah, you'd get one more lap if we do it, you'll get one lap with the lower flap angle. Copy, down 2 or 3, maybe 3. Yeah, I'd say 2, 2. 2, 2.0:3614:07STRStrollI just don't have the grip. Is everyone losing grip? No, not necessarily. So tell me what I should do. Can you go faster on the cool down lap? So maintain the temperature and don't lose too much front.0:2614:08STRStrollYeah, I'm just losing grip. Copy that, Lance.0:0814:08OCOOconPitPitRecharge on. Got a minute and 30 plenty of time. Can we have an aero P4 fifth gear cruise after turn three, please?0:0914:09OCOOconPitPitPractice the pit entry from turn 10.0:0514:16FITFittipaldiPitPitRemember go to mode RS and pit limiter off for the start.0:0714:18FITFittipaldiPitPitExcellent lap mate, let's push again, let's push again.0:0614:19FITFittipaldiI'll cool down, I'll cool down. OK, chill out John, chill out John.0:0614:19RAIRaikkonenPitPitAnd I suspect you will have to do quite a slow outlap, but I leave it to you.0:0614:20NORNorrisPitPitLet's go for another cool -down lap, let's go for another cool -down lap now.0:0614:22GASGaslyPitPitCan I hit the curb? I don't know the car. Felt like it was quite harsh for the cars. Ok, we'll check.0:1214:23FITFittipaldiI destroyed this tyre.0:0414:23SAISainzPitPitWatch for Aitken now. Aitken, you have Aitken, then Lando and Latifi.0:0814:25AITAitkenPitPitOK, yeah, went through the gravel. Didn't hear anything, but tyres are a bit flat -spotted. Copy. I'd say they're badly flat -spotted, are they, Jack? Yeah, unfortunately. Alright, so we'll box then. Box, box.0:1814:26SAISainzPitPitBox now, box now, stop on the marks.0:0514:27STRStrollPitPitDo you want to just do a single call? I think so, Lance, at the moment. I'm based on traffic. There's a lot of traffic ahead that will be probably going next lap.0:1514:28OCOOconPitPitDaniel is turning in later to turn 7.0:0514:29VERVerstappenI don't know why, but my steering wheel went, during the lap, right hand down.0:0714:30PERPerezPitPitYou're all clear behind checker, all clear. So, checker, if you think there's no way to do another lap on this, we should come in and have a look? Yeah, copy. Box, box, pit confirm.0:1314:30OCOOconPitPitSo expecting you to do double cool down again and then go again.0:0614:32VETVettelOk, we have time for double cool down and one more push, that would be the maximum I'd like to do. Ok, yes, we wish we do.0:1014:33BOTBottasPitPitWe think track limits will be introduced at 7 and 8, so still respect the Y line.0:0814:35RUSRussellYellow lights on the dash. Standby, I don't think there's anything to worry about. They have disappeared. Yeah, copy. Please remind me to talk to you regarding the direction of the B bow button. OK, copy. I think I'd like to invert it. OK, roger.0:1914:35KVYKvyatPitPitAnd the Turner 7 .8 was faster now. Yeah, I didn't get this initial understeer in 7.0:1114:35VETVettelPitPitAnd place to focus is braking into 7, braking into 7.0:0614:37ALBAlbonPitPitWe've got a pretty clear track now, so just think about your tyre temperatures.0:0614:38AITAitkenPitPitOK, temps are good for coming through the pit lane, bike point find, 5 burnouts and a start. The last one was 2 % shallow and we just need to shorten up that plateau phase and halve the time. So we box this lap, bike point find, 5 burnouts and a start.0:2114:39ALBAlbonPitPitOK, everything OK, Alex? OK, so you've got a clear track, track is clear. Let us know about vibrations when you get rolling. Next quick car, Vettel at turn 1 now. OK. Vettel on your tail now, Vettel on your tail. Please repeat message.0:2114:40ALBAlbonVibrations are pretty poor. OK, understood. Recharge on please, recharge on. So our next quick car, Leclerc at turn 4 now, he is alone. If you go down to turn 10, you think the vibrations are too much, we'll box, otherwise we'll get ready for a quick lap again. Yeah, definitely. Yeah, definitely. OK, understood. Box this lap please, Alex. Box this lap. Leclerc, 8 behind you.0:3114:41RUSRussellPitPitI need to talk about my seat, shrugging a bit with my shoulders. OK, copy.0:0714:41RAIRaikkonenPitPitOk, and on the back straight, if we can have some high steering input, if you could do like when you want to warm up the front tyres, it would help, if you can. There's no chance, there's too many cars. Norris, Norris, no problem, no problem, just box then.0:1914:42AITAitkenPitPitBrake warming again is fine. Let's do the brake warming again out of three. It's all clear behind.0:0814:43AITAitkenI think I got the failsafe there. Copy.0:0714:43KVYKvyatPitPitDanny, we need to try to cool the rear tyres, cool the rear tyres.0:0614:45AITAitkenPitPitIt's clear behind. You've got 20 seconds back to Norris. So from SC2, so go in lap, target minus one to minus three on the dash. Follow the same process as the PU calling, so getting the speed up and then coasting.0:1814:45NORNorrisI lost deployment or something? Yes.0:0514:46RUSRussellPitPitPlease remind me to talk to you regarding the pit limiter activation on the pit entry, I'd like to see a speed on there please. OK, no sweat.0:1414:50RICRicciardoPitPitOk, how was the balance, how were the tyres? Yeah, just have to watch a little bit more on the rear, but front as well, bit of deck, phase, probably phase 3. Understood.0:1814:50GASGaslyYeah, I have a big, pretty big leg up from here.0:0614:51RUSRussellStruggling a bit with downshifts into 1, with excessive waist slip.0:0914:51NORNorrisDo they not know? What the ****? I'm at a flat spot at the tyres. OK, understood. Yeah, I got a flat spot. It was Perez, I think, who was ahead of me. At the moment, it looks OK. Please keep going if you can. I need to try down to front wing. Understood. Understood, Lando. We'll box this lap down two and a half. Two and a half. Confirmed. Lando, pit lane. Yep, so this is stopping on the marks for front wing adjust. You can launch from the box. You can launch from the box. You can launch from the box.0:3114:53PERPerezPitPitSo the other cars that are five laps ahead of us are starting to deg off, that last lap you did was about a tenth quicker than Lance and Ricciardo, Ocon one tenth faster than you. There'll be eight more laps, eight more laps. Try a bit slower into one for a better exit. It doesn't work. Yeah, copy.0:2614:55BOTBottasPitPitI don't know what's going on, I keep locking the front left, 2 to 1.0:0714:56MAGMagnussenPitPitHow is the tyre? How's the dig? Uh, holding up. Sort of okay.0:1014:56OCOOconPitPitAnd for reference, Perez heading up to 58 .7, 58 .8 now.0:0814:58RAIRaikkonenPitPitOK, Kimi, more charge, and that's 3 minutes into the session, so suggest box for Les Robert, so that's still 2 seconds ahead of Bostor also. OK, box, box for Les Robert.0:2014:58RAIRaikkonenTrap, trap, trap, trap the front wing. Copy, copy.0:0914:59VERVerstappenPitPitMax track limits at turn 8 from P2 will be the red and white kerb. OK, good to know.0:0814:59GASGaslyPitPitOn box, box, box this lap, static pit stop. Box, box.0:0615:00NORNorrisPitPitAnd box now, box now. This will be live pit stop, engine off.0:07
