11:30:50
OK, Joe. Track is green. Just remind, no kerbs and try to avoid any slipstream over the racing line. Roger, Checo, please. I have a rear brake failed, man. Copy, I'll do it again. My brake is not working.
11:31:14
Copy, Joe. Brakes. And box is up. Copy. Pedal was super long. And soft.
11:31:37
Can you do a radio check? Radio check and try to go harder on brakes.
11:31:48
8. Copy 8 and move to charge. Move to charge.
11:31:57
You want me to go hard on brakes or not? Yes, confirm.
11:32:14
Shift 3. Copy. Box.
11:32:44
Try to go again harder on brakes now. And then the box is level. Copy.
11:33:05
Go to pitlane. Sorry for the delay.
11:33:12
Pedal goes long and soft.
11:33:22
Everything as expected and working, just the steering is still a little bit right-hand down as per the test. And on the way to the pit box I got BVW failsafe. Apart from all that, it's all okay with the car.
11:34:22
Apart, can you go a bit more on details with the brake issues? I mean, the first time I touched the brake, I had no brakes. I had rear brakes, failsafe, warning on the dash. And that's about it for the whole first lap until turn 4. And then, the whole lap, the brake just felt very long and also soft. Even at the end, when you apply last brakes? The brakes feel, in terms of the feeling, it's OK. Like, it's stopping, but I feel the pedals are different to what I'm used to. It's a little bit long and spongy.
11:35:23
Also, one thing to mention is that compared to the test, I feel the brakes are more firm of a way to be. Tyres off position? Yeah, a little bit on that, but I don't know why.
11:35:45
But beside from the starting position, maybe a little bit too far away, I think. Let's see.
11:38:02
OK, Zhou, so at the moment regarding the brake, everything looks fine. The unit is working well. The suggestion that we have at the moment is to go out without brake warming and you can start to work a bit on the brakes between turn 1 and 4. OK, but the feedback I had on my previous hour lap, is OK or not? There might be no brakes? Yeah, the alarm that we had was due to some low threshold that we have there, but in terms of efficiency and the system, everything is OK at the moment.
11:43:10
You have a Sargeant going out.
11:43:19
Moved out, moved out. At the moment track behind is clear. Behind you there is Verstappen in the outlap at 5 seconds.
11:43:32
Brake warming off. Brake warming off and checking your brakes.
11:43:44
My tyres are on the cooler side. I'll try to work a bit more on it.
11:44:00
Next car pushing behind is Valtteri. Nine seconds at the moment.
11:44:32
Valtteri, five seconds behind.
11:44:47
Brakes are OK. Brakes OK from our side. And more push when you are ready. More push.
11:46:44
Over the line, more charge, more charge.
11:46:49
Sargeant behind will be in phase. He's closing his lap now. 1-0 by understeer.
11:47:34
6-7, can we have a little bit more open at the end? Somehow. Copy, Zhou, you're looking Verstappen behind at the moment. He will be in charge also. But he looks a bit faster. And the next car is Valtteri pushing 7 seconds.
11:48:08
Valtteri, three seconds behind.
11:48:24
Next car is Albon. Three-second pushing.
11:48:34
For 6 and 7, we suggest to use the special dirt road underneath, otherwise high speed turn. Track is clear behind at the moment.
11:48:48
Gap to Albon, no 5 seconds. When you are ready, move, push, move, push.
11:49:00
And a defeat for Cadillacs.
11:50:30
Over the line of wood charges. Wood charges.
11:50:45
At the moment our reference lap time will be mid 34. At the main point it looks turn 1, 8 and the last corner. I have so much understeer, man.
11:51:05
Try to have a slow charge, slow charge. Next car behind is Valtteri, 16 seconds at the moment. Meanwhile, can you give me some options to change? I'm fully limited.
11:51:27
Valtteri's sixth second.
11:51:43
OK, now next car, Albon, 22nd. Suggestion is to go up in 3 plus 1 and then to drop the diff mid. Try to do 2-3 click diff mid down.
11:52:39
Beaming 4. And when you are ready, more push, more push. Copy.
11:53:15
Box is up. Paratapas is now in 2-3.
11:53:23
You want to have one more roll, Box? I will box the Kaiserslautern connected at the moment. OK, copy Box. Box is up.
12:32:38
You can go to mode formation lap when you're ready.
12:33:10
We're taking the start on the left-hand side. We're taking the start in front of the Super now. We want to overtake a bit.
12:33:42
Mode RS and keep RS until turn 4.
12:34:42
And keep pushing until turn 10.
12:35:06
Okay, you can go to mode charge and try to build a gap to Joe ahead.
