10:30MSCSchumacherPitPitMick, when you pull out of the garage, just don't wheelspin because there's this awkward drain that you saw the other day. We just want to go across it smoothly.0:1010:32PERPerezPitPitClients and gears to 4, click every take if you need.0:0510:33LECLeclercPitPitand we have headwind into turn 1, 15 kph0:0910:35MSCSchumacherThere it is, it's getting really hot here. Yep, understood.0:0510:35HAMHamiltonStrap, so we can start in Strapway 7.0:0610:37LECLeclercPitPitCan we go, can we do a pass through? Yes, we can. 10 plus 3 please. Copy.0:1010:38VERVerstappenPitPitOK, obviously there's quite a lot of evolution at the moment, very early days, but that first lap put you P1.0:0810:39PERPerezPitPitB -Bell 6, B -Bell 6. How's the balance? Yeah, a bit of chattering on the front. The rest, not too bad. OK, copy that.0:1610:41VETVettelPitPitSo we are okay for a call if you agree? Copy. Okay so Verstappen stopping a lap behind, Verstappen fast behind. So that pit confirm was not, you didn't mean that did you? No, more like I confirmed the message.0:2210:42PERPerezHandbrake looked far too aggressive into turn 1. Copy that, we saw that.0:0710:42RUSRussellBut Ray is seeing pretty cold. Yeah, it will build. Front's about 10 low as well for now.0:1010:43ALOAlonsoPitPitClutch drop was target, minus 2, still clear from traffic behind, so let's pick your gap, then we'll be recharged off.0:1210:44VETVettelPitPitYou can call the left hand tyres through this high speed section, call the left hand tyres. Where's Tsunoda? Tsunoda's still 12 seconds back, he's not looking very fast.0:1410:45STRStrollPitPitWe can call and do one more push, Lance. How's the car? Yeah, it feels okay.0:0810:46HAMHamiltonPitPitSo a slow lap may have been a bit too slow.0:0810:46VERVerstappenPitPitAlonso time -lapse behind 10 seconds, that's closing quickly though, 6 seconds.0:0710:47TSUTsunodaPitPitOk, ok, so Gasly 25 .4, we did 26 .3, is turn 2, 5, 9, NDI speed, gear usage is all aligned, turn 9 is using one gear more, 7th.0:1610:48VERVerstappenPitPitOk, cool the tyres and we'll go for one more lap.0:0810:49RICRicciardoPitPitBox now, practice pit entry. Yep, box, come on.0:0810:49TSUTsunodaPitPitOk, Yuki, we can cool down and push again. This cool down and then we push will be the last one.0:0910:50NORNorrisPitPitOK, so this will be the last time lap, so when you finish, strap 14 over the start -finish line. Yeah, go on, Phil.0:1010:51SAISainzPitPitPit entry test, and pit stop, watch for Alonso, and clear from behind. Ok, I think I'm gonna just try, you see, and then I come in in front of it. Clear from behind, clear from behind.0:1810:53NORNorrisBiggest issue still, I would say rear entries, slightly more medium and higher speed corners, high speed rear just in general, but then medium speed entry. OK, understood, confirming we are box this lap.0:1810:53LECLeclercI've got dirty Alfa Alonso in front. What do I do? Do I need to box or can I go again? Box now, box, and we do a start at the end of the pit lane.0:1510:54ALOAlonsoPitPitOK, happy to push straight away if you want to.0:0610:57RUSRussellPitPitOK, all clear behind. So we will be using this set for high fuel, but have a look at the pit entry on the way in, and we're boxing this lap.0:1010:58ALOAlonsoBox, box. Cop it up.0:0610:58GASGaslyWhat is the Gaia doing? Latifi, new tyre, new tyre soft, low fuel. Ok.0:1110:59OCOOconPitPitHow's the balance with the changes? Yeah, better, more stable, better, use tyres. We need to be careful for the next one obviously. Yeah, copy that. Okay, let's go for a couple more sighting laps.0:1911:01VETVettelPitPitHappy to let the front right call a bit.0:0511:03OCOOconCopy that, we're boxing or? You've got the choice of doing a cool and one more push if you'd like, time for that. I think we can box. Okay understood, let's box now, you've got Stroll five seconds behind. Copy. He's pushing. Was that okay with sixth gear, with total high speed? It's better in seventh gear, better in seventh, watch for Stroll two seconds back, clear track behind him. No, well again, again the tenth and a half in sixth, so. Copy that, we'll have a closer look when you're back in.0:3511:04VETVettelPitPitSebastian, just give us your feedback on balance. You were all clear behind for that first lap. Yeah, it felt okay. Bit of understeer in 7, the rest a bit more on the nose. High speed a little on the nose. Copy that.0:1311:06GASGaslyPitPitWe're happy where we are, we're happy where we are, no need for more management. Mode 10 test, mode 10. Copy, try it.0:1211:06VETVettelPitPitSo we think using the left toggle for the high speed is worth doing. I'll remind you at the end of this call -up.0:0811:07MAZMazepinPitPitWhere can we help you mate? How's the balance? Crazy on this steer. Also the tyres didn't start working, I think we started too low on temps. Ok, copy.0:1211:08HAMHamiltonPitPitWe'll pass through the pit lane to make a flap adjust.0:0611:09BOTBottasPitPitSo, main losses to Verstappen, as I said, 2 tenths to 1, a bit in 15, 14, 15 with the traffic, and last corner looks 2 tenths.0:1111:10LECLeclercPitPitOk, track is clear behind. Tyres went to the roof, but they stay in the middle, in turn 7 or whatever it was.0:1411:11RUSRussellPitPitOk, looks like it'll be good. As soon as we close the lap we need max PU cooling, so high speed low revs to turn 12, and we'll try and do this double in lap.0:1211:12RAIRaikkonenPitPitOk, traffic still good, no one pushing.0:0511:14PERPerezPitPit25 .5 has got you P10 and Max has done a 23 .7. Car any better? At the start of the lap there was a bit too much understeer, starting on the lap. So Hamilton pushing, car behind. Hamilton at 3 seconds. OK, Leclerc also pushing on the run to turn 4. Yeah, check out the front tyres, looked a bit on the cool side, minus 5, minus 9 compared to targets.0:3011:18HAMHamiltonAre we slow on the straight or something? No, not particularly.0:0911:18HAMHamiltonHow's the final sector looking until the last corner? It's looking better. Still a little bit, obviously, a bit too much speed into turn 14 though.0:1411:19PERPerezPitPitSo yeah, you're 9 temps off max in sector 1 alone, and then it's 3 temps in sector 2, and 5 temps in sector 3. The big gains to be had in sector 1, up to term 4. Also, term 15 stands out in sector 3. Term 15 is the main deficit in sector 3. OK mate, I've got it.0:2511:21VETVettelPitPitSo to start this run the fronts will be on the cooler side, the rears are pretty close, so you're good on switch and you're clear ahead and behind.0:1111:22LECLeclercCan I do again? Yes, you can go again. Track is clear behind. And if we do a double cool down, box for a start at the end of the pit line. Copy. Do you think there's more value to the one more push, or do you need that height to run? Come back to you.0:2411:23LECLeclercPitPitIf you want to do the push, let's focus on the push lap.0:0711:24GASGaslyPitPitAnd we are strong in high speed, strong in high speed, and losing a little bit on 16 apex compared to UK, but ISO in that sector. So biggest loss was sector 1, four tenths, and then ISO sector 2, sector 3.0:1811:26GASGaslyYeah, that's better. OK, charge on. And we'd like to test something on the next lap, please.0:1311:28RAIRaikkonenPitPitHow much time we have? And we have a bit more than 2 minutes, so you can do another charge lap.0:0711:28LECLeclercPitPitYellow flag turn 7, single yellow turn 7.0:0711:29TSUTsunodaPitPitNext lap is last push.0:0311:29GASGaslyPitPitSo stay to the left of the track on the racing line.0:0611:30GASGaslyPitPitWe have slippery track reported, end of the pit straight, not sure why.0:0811:31RICRicciardoPitPitOK, that debris could still be near the pit exit, you'll take the chequered flag this time, keep pushing on the in -lap.0:0811:32HAMHamiltonPitPitSo that gap's now good, so we can practice pit entry. And practice pit stop. And this is on the backup radio.0:14
