Brazilian Grand Prix2018 · Practice 1 team radio

EngineerThe tyres have obviously cooled down a little bit, but the pressure should be good. So grounding will be okay, but just be aware that obviously we're on mediums and they may be a little bit cool.

Pierre GASLYThe mechanics can give me more space when I park, otherwise I cannot be straight, it's really tight, to give me more space.

Charles LECLERCCiao, Pitlane.

EngineerCopy, Pitlane. Stop in front of your garage, please. You

Charles LECLERCsaid stop in front of your garage, no? Yes. Yeah.

Lance STROLLThere's something moving in the petal bus.

EngineerOkay, copy that. We can look at that.

EngineerOkay Lando, you're currently the only car out on track so you can drive this slow lap as you want to.

EngineerAnd Lando, just a little bit of feedback for you, be careful of early throttle pickup turn 4, and there was a little bit of tailwind through turn 6-7. And Lando, be careful of kerbs, especially turn 4.

EngineerOkay Lando, that was a nice lap with a good improvement.

EngineerOkay, so you can probably work your tires a little bit to get a bit more temperature

EngineerHow are the tires to start the lap question?

Daniel RICCIARDOThey're okay to start.

EngineerOkay, so in that case you can afford to cool down a bit

EngineerTarget is clear, you can push.

Pierre GASLYSteering is a bit bent on the right, right hand side down

EngineerCopy, Pierre

EngineerOK Lando, we suggest box this lap, box this lap, how are the tyres?

Lando NORRISYeah, box confirmed, not too bad, really feels like they're going away a bit, but it's not too bad.

Nicholas LATIFIIs the front right tyre temp correct? Because it's quite a big delta, front left to front right.

EngineerCopy that, yes, we do think it's right, yes, and there will be a delta. Brakes were maybe not as hot as we'd normally have starting the lap, so standard cool-off, we don't need to do extra cool.

EngineerAnd Grosjean on a time-lapse is 10 seconds behind.

Sebastian VETTELYeah I can see him.

Pierre GASLY40-bit power flow, can turn one.

EngineerYes, we've seen it.

EngineerThey have

Lewis HAMILTONbacked up again

EngineerOK Carlsen, just a reminder to look at your pit board please, make sure it's in the right place.

Carlos SAINZCopy.

Nico HULKENBERGLike I said, struggling a bit with the brakes, the feel of the brakes.

Lewis HAMILTONGap. I need to make an amendment, I've got a lot of understeer. OK, copy.

EngineerLet us know what you need.

Engineer160 kph for Cindia behind

Kimi RAIKKONENYeah but I cannot see them so... 10

Engineerseconds behind Toro Rosso And next car is ASI... Ok I'll stop doing this I'm

Kimi RAIKKONENgonna vlog some of the other ones Ok, and box, give me box

EngineerOK, so that's P1, 8 hundredths, Verstappen P2, he's on the same tyre.

EngineerSo he's still P2, half a tenth behind Hamilton, purple sector 1 and 2, he is purple in sector 3.

Nicholas LATIFII'm probably going to leave the open diff on for the whole lap after the first three turns just because I feel like I'm struggling with a lot of mid-corner understeer especially in the slower corners understood

Engineerwe're okay with that understood

EngineerOk mate, I got twice blocked by yellow team, you need to be a bit more careful Yep, understood, we'll pass on the message

EngineerOkay, switch off, thank you.

Daniel RICCIARDOApologies. Did I collect him?

EngineerAlright.

Lando NORRISIt just goes straight into anti-stall.

EngineerI can't, I can't go. Yeah, okay, understood. We'll just check it now.

Lando NORRISShould I turn it off, or...?

EngineerStand by. Okay, let's turn it off please, Lando. Okay, Lando, just stand by. We're just checking what's going on.

EngineerOK Lando, stand by

Lando NORRISYeah, same thing

EngineerAnd switch it off again please Lando

EngineerAnd that was on target. Currently the only car out on track to drive the outlap as you want it.

EngineerMight need to put a little energy in the front right. Yeah, I can't understand why there's a car in the pit lane. Repeat. Just energy in the front right. Okay.

Pierre GASLYOk, do another warm-up, because the front wheels are not ready at all.

EngineerDriver default, Alpha Zero Two, if you can do it before stopping, otherwise you stop on the mark and then switch off.

Kevin MAGNUSSENIt won't let me do it.

EngineerOk, no worries, switch off.

Brendon HARTLEYYeah, I jammed it out to the middle of the high speed. Yeah, he was at the middle of the high speed corner.

Stoffel VANDOORNEToo much traffic copy

Engineercopy

EngineerSo Verstappen's just completed a lap, he's just under a tenth faster, it's all in the middle sector to Verstappen, it's turn 8, 9 and 10, look to be the gains for Verstappen.

Pierre GASLYI'll get traffic with Brandon Again, so much front lock

EngineerJust be careful on braking, off-throttle and brakes on, you tend to cross over the two, so just be careful with that.

Antonio GIOVINAZZIYeah, OK.

EngineerI

Pierre GASLYthought he was stupid

EngineerClose the lap

EngineerYellow button is latched. Yeah,

Nicholas LATIFIit's OK, I'm going to keep it on for turn one.

EngineerOK reverse on, reverse on, looks like the tyres might be a bit past their best so we'll box this lap.

Daniel RICCIARDOYep.

EngineerCan we just do a quick flap adjust, it's still understeering. Yeah, AFR, copy that. Just call us two. Plus two, copy that.

Nico HULKENBERGDo you want a bit of recharge? The SOC is very low.

EngineerNo, it's okay.

EngineerOK Lando, I think everything is OK, can you comment please, any damage?

Lando NORRISI think OK, I went over quite a big curve, but yeah, I think it's fine, but your choice.

EngineerOK Lando, we would like to box, we would like to box, stand by for more instructions.

Lando NORRISCopy, box to snap.

EngineerWe're going to stop on the marks, we're going to stop on the marks, and we're going to check the front wing. So just look for the signal from Carrie, if he's happy we'll go. And we'll just do a pull away from the box if Carrie's happy.

EngineerAnd drive straight out, drive straight out. Do

Lando NORRISyou know what the cause of that oversteer was?

EngineerSo Lando, nothing outstanding in the data, little bit of tailwind. We suggest not using the right hand toggle in that area. I

Lando NORRISthink it was B3.

EngineerYep, so remember to reset before turn four.

EngineerMost people have been quickest on their first time lap

EngineerAll right, so we'll have to work with this, obviously the space on track that we wanted Vettel's got

Lando NORRISStroll just got in my way

EngineerYeah, okay mate understood

EngineerIt was 20 long.

Sebastian VETTELOkay, to me it looked fine.

EngineerAnd Antonio, something I forgot, remember to say as well, Antonio pit lane when you just come in, so like this everybody knows that you are pit entry, thank you

EngineerSmokebox entry, that's it.

Nico HULKENBERGOoh, that was a good one.
