18:21MAZMazepinPitPitOkay, Madison, back to mode F2, mode F2, and radio check into turn one.0:0918:22RICRicciardoPitPitYou've done your feedback. That was 1 % deep. Initial throttle can be earlier. OK, understood. Turn 7. Turn 7 loud and clear.0:1118:22HAMHamiltonPitPitSuper low bog. No power for a sec. Yeah, copy, we were just looking into that.0:0918:23VERVerstappenPitPitFromming update? Leave it for now. Understood, so make your way to the end of the pit lane.0:0918:23PERPerezPitPitDo you want the flap adjust? Yeah, let's go up on the flap. Okay, into the boys.0:0718:24RICRicciardoPitPitAnd Daniel, clutch was on target, but holding clutch a little too long. OK, understood.0:0818:25STRStrollPitPitAll okay with the car, Christian? Yes, all okay. Copy that. Big liftoff into turn 12 and go to the grid. Big liftoff in 12 and go to the grid. Copy.0:1418:25OCOOconPitPit30 % on that clutch drop once again. Same with the big lift into 12 please. We're going to the grid. OK, brake temps are all good. We're stopping back of the grid, left hand side, mechanics should be there.0:1618:26SAISainzHow was the target? Good on target, but the throttle projection was too early.0:0918:27NORNorrisJust anything is pre -launch is pretty difficult to hit, the revs drop quite a bit throughout the pre -launch phase. Ok understood, Peter will be looking on it.0:1418:29HAMHamiltonPitPitIt was definitely hard to get a feel for the car there. Yeah, coffee, surface temps are very low compared to what we expect. I was very shy, I was doing the starts before the line, so it was pretty dirty there. Yeah, understood Lewis. Yeah, the grip is going to come up once we're on the grip.0:2518:29PERPerezHave a look at the end just before reaching the boys. I heard like a bug from the engine. Copy that, check this.0:1318:30RUSRussellMy visor just feels a little bit loose. If we've got a tool to tighten it slightly, please. It's probably one for a leash.0:1218:54MSCSchumacherPitPitOk Mick, it's 6 minutes till we go, 6 minutes, you can do some practice.0:0718:55VERVerstappenRadio check, is it possible to clean my dash here on the wheel, it's a bit dirty.0:1518:55VERVerstappenPitPitOK, so that's just under 6 minutes. Formation lap procedures. So, mode 12 for the dummy launch and formation lap. Pit limiter off and the static bike 1 by 1 so far. You're on the ground, carry out your launch to third gear. Formation lap procedure. And as you come around back onto the pit straight from the McLaren pit wall, click the overtake and two long burnouts and the extra ramp.0:3618:58HAMHamiltonPitPitSo they're just thinking turn 1, they're not happy to use EB2 or EB3, just to help with that late front pinching. As well as being MiG -1, I used MiG -1 for the last two stops, turn 1. Yeah, I mean with MiG -1 the pinching was reduced but I could still see a little bit there. So come up on that, OK? Yep. Yeah so Lewis do you want to take that extra half a hole or maybe full hole? Which one, sorry mate, the one we spoke about? Yeah, copy, haven't done anything yet. OK so this is 2 down from where we are, which you said that matches V3, yep. I haven't done that final just yet, but yeah just want to make sure you're in agreement with it. Yeah, might just need to do another half on top of that maybe. OK.1:1119:01LECLeclercThey are pushing like crazy.0:0519:03OCOOconGot OK but big hit. Copy that, we're watching. All OK so far.0:0819:04VERVerstappenPitPitSimply lovely that Max.0:0419:04VERVerstappenPitPitCar behind Hamilton, then Checo.0:0419:04VERVerstappenPitPitSafety car deployed Max, safety car deployed, staying out, dash, positive, dash, positive, and just think about your brake bias offset for the moment, currently at minus four.0:1419:05HAMHamiltonPitPitSo we've got Perez at carbon time. There's Valtteri. So Valtteri had a tap, he's now back of the grid, he's continuing to run.0:1319:06STRStrollPitPitKeep cleaning the tyre surface, keep cleaning the tyre surface.0:0519:07BOTBottasSomebody hit me and caused me to spin.0:0519:08PERPerezWho was the idiot that crashed into Bottas? He nearly took me off as well.0:0719:08RICRicciardoPitPitOkay, there's a split developing on front brake, so hard braking in straight line into turn four. Consider red button, consider red button.0:1219:09RICRicciardoPitPitOk Daniel, there is some damage to the left hand side rearward deflector, that's like the barge board area, it doesn't look massive at the moment, difficult to give you numbers until we start running normally, the back of the floor is ok.0:1919:10VETVettelPitPitSo tyres are in a pretty good window, we'll take a little bit of lift and coast for engine temp, just for more margin at the restart.0:0819:12LATLatifiHe just turned into me. Copy, copy. Please confirm front wing is okay.0:0719:12VERVerstappenPitPitGap 1 .60:0519:14OCOOconYeah, could be hit on the side though, I'm sure now. Copy that.0:0619:14VERVerstappenPitPitGap, 2 .4, 2 .4 max. Remember what I said, it's the last race.0:1119:15HAMHamiltonPitPitThat's quick.0:0619:15VERVerstappenPitPitThe gap's at 2 .7. So just look after that front left tyre as the temperature comes up.0:1019:15VERVerstappenPitPitRemboard us at Stint City last race.0:0719:16PERPerezPitPitRoss's Tamax are braking for turn 4, and through turn 9 also.0:0719:17BOTBottasThis train I feel like there's not much I can do apart from kill my tyres.0:1019:17VETVettelPitPitWhat you're doing is good for engine temps, so you are able to be this close. Engine temps under control.0:0919:18NORNorrisPitPitOK, mate, that's Mazepan in front. In front of him are three cars. The lead is Raikkonen. He's P9.0:0819:19ALOAlonsoPitPitNice work.0:0419:19SAISainzYeah, I'm a bit quicker on shelves, but what do you want me to do, cool the tyres or what?0:0919:20VETVettelPitPitConsider up on torque if you want to stabilise entries.0:0619:20LATLatifiPitPitAnd BB -1 for BT. There is no grip. It's worse than qualifying. I can't race, I can't carry speed. I don't know what I can do. Understood. Do the best job you can. Focus on that.0:1919:21PERPerezPitPitOK, let's close up to Hamilton. Main losses in the high speed, 7, 9, 10.0:0719:22RUSRussellAt the pit stop, right hand side mirror, down.0:0819:24HAMHamiltonTyres dropping up next to them.0:0619:25PERPerezPitPitOK, Checo, how's the balance? Yeah, I've been struggling a bit with the understeer, but the rear tyres are getting hot. Just grip overall. I don't think there's much we can do on balance. OK, copy that, Checo. Flap adjust for the next stint. Yeah, normal adjustment. Copy.0:2219:26BOTBottasPitPitGive us a balance, check when you can. Mainly understeer behind the car ahead, high speed. Copy that, so we see a bit of drop on the medium.0:1819:26PERPerezMy tires are just getting better. Copy.0:0719:27SAISainzYeah, this is a status 3 lap. Understood. Gasly lap time 22 .1, Charles lap time 22 .0, as you did. And leaders, Verstappen 21 .1, for info.0:1419:27RAIRaikkonenPitPitOk Kimi, your brakes are all good, we don't need lift off for the brake.0:0819:28VETVettelPitPitAll our temperatures are good, all our temperatures are good. Yes. Good, good, so all our temperatures are good now, tyres are going to get better from here.0:1119:29PERPerezPitPitWe're looking at plan B.0:0519:30ALOAlonsoPitPitAnd how is the balance? It's about right. A little bit on the understeering side, if anything. OK, copy that.0:1119:30MAZMazepinPitPitWe're soon going to start getting the blues. Let's keep that three second gap to Latifi. He's going to get the blues as well. There might be some opportunities. Let's not drop away from him. Soon we'll have a blue for Verstappen. I'll tell you when.0:1419:31RICRicciardoPitPitIt could be some time to find turn 7, time to find turn 7.0:0719:31PERPerezPitPitHamilton's picked it up a bit, 21 -2, let's stay on him.0:0719:31PERPerezPitPitOk, we're starting to catch the first backmarkers. Mazepin's in front of Hamilton.0:0619:32VERVerstappenPitPitOK, let's have the tyres. Not too bad, just have to be a little bit careful, then we are on entry.0:0919:33NORNorrisPitPitAnd Lando Minor, how's the pace? Yeah, pace, one, two, just on thermal limit really.0:1119:34VETVettelPitPitSo, Sebastian, this pace is really good. Giovanazzi is still well outside our pit window. He's behind Ricciardo and Bottas, and you're pulling away from those guys as well, so let's keep this up as best we can.0:1419:34LECLeclercPitPitAnd plan A confirmed, we are racing Gasly.0:0619:35RICRicciardoPitPitDaniel, how's the flap angle? I could probably come up half a turn.0:0819:36RICRicciardoBut it, yeah, the balance is changing quite, quite quickly. Copy.0:0819:36HAMHamiltonPitPitThese guys are obviously too fast for us. Yeah, copy Lewis. Let's keep on building the gap to Perez.0:0919:36NORNorrisPitPitLando, both safety car windows are open, please confirm. Yeah, confirm.0:0919:37PERPerezPitPitOK, let's stay on Hamilton. Close this gap up.0:0719:38HAMHamiltonDown to the waist, ma 'am.0:0619:38PERPerezPitPitOkay, so we're looking at plan B plus 5, plan B plus 5, might be longer.0:0919:39NORNorrisPitPitOK, Lando, we're thinking plan A, but looking to extend, look to extend. OK. Yeah, it's just quite consistent now, but don't have a lot more pace. Understood.0:1619:40RICRicciardoPitPitI think the wing's not in a bad place, just fronts are running hot, so I don't have much front. Copy.0:1019:41PERPerezPitPitCheck how this plays out.0:0719:41RICRicciardoPitPitMore lifting coast will help front tyre temperatures.0:0619:41GASGaslyPitPitLeclerc 4 behind, Latifi 4 in front. We will get another blue flag in some laps. Latifi 4 in front. I'm good with the tyres.0:1319:43HAMHamiltonPitPitAnd Lewis, we're looking at target plus 6. Target plus 6.0:0719:43RUSRussellPitPitWe need to increase lift and coast for fuel, so that's target level 4, last few laps been level 2 or 3.0:0919:43LECLeclercPitPitGasly lap time 21 .9, Sainz behind, 22 .0.0:0619:43RAIRaikkonenPitPitOk Kimi, Alonso behind been told they want to extend, so on our side all ok, we keep pushing.0:0919:44LECLeclercPitPitBox opposite Gasly.0:05
