Singapore Grand Prix 2018: Practice 1 team radio

Every message, in the order it happened

1. Pierre GASLYToro Rosso16:33:56

   Pierre GASLY: There is so much dust on track, especially last sector.

   Engineer: Yeah, we have seen it on TV.

2. Brendon HARTLEYToro Rosso16:35:33

   Engineer: Yeah, it's not too much to comment on at the moment, obviously I was very far away from the limit. OK, one thing to highlight, that the front left disc didn't wake up, so we need to put more energy in the brakes in the outlock. OK, copy.

3. Lance STROLLWilliams16:38:50

   Lance STROLL: The dash is not bright enough, can I make it brighter?

   Engineer: OK, just watch the Vettel, he's four seconds back, it's multi-A, orange dim, smaller number, brighter dash.

4. Sebastian VETTELFerrari16:41:03

   Engineer: And out of 5, K1 test.

   Sebastian VETTEL: OK, copy. Then I take a breather.

   Engineer: OK, copy. So wait for K1.

5. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull16:42:17

   Max VERSTAPPEN: We

   Engineer: have

   Max VERSTAPPEN: some weird flying going on.

6. Lance STROLLWilliams16:44:02

   Lance STROLL: Yeah, the front is not a very good mid-corner.

7. Sebastian VETTELFerrari16:47:27

   Engineer: Two more laps, so cool down now and push for the next, next being in engine 4, and track is clear behind.

8. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes16:50:59

   Engineer: In terms of sectors, just down in middle sector, two tenths, and down final sector, nearly four tenths. Biggest weakness, braking for turn 14, but you did have traffic.

9. Kimi RAIKKONENFerrari16:54:42

   Engineer: Kimi will be a long change, about half an hour, if you want to jump out or stay into the car as you prefer.

10. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes16:56:01

    Lewis HAMILTON: Massive de-brakes all out there

11. Nico HULKENBERGRenault16:56:44

    Engineer: My

    Nico HULKENBERG: rear tyre temps are not showing,

    Engineer: what are they? No, we have a problem so I cannot tell you, sorry. Nico, could you go to SOC 13 for one lap discharge please? So, confirming rear tyre temperature and pressure sensors are not working.

12. Carlos SAINZRenault16:57:27

    Carlos SAINZ: Yeah, believe us, I'm always here in the corner, especially turn 5, because he's

    Engineer: here

    Carlos SAINZ: at the moment. I needed to go to entry 9 just to make sure I didn't get it.

    Engineer: Okay, copy that.

13. Romain GROSJEANHaas16:59:23

    Engineer: Okay, I'm checking with the guys on that

14. Sergio PEREZForce India17:02:17

    Engineer: You can break later in term 1 and 5.

15. Stoffel VANDOORNEMcLaren17:02:59

    Engineer: And stop we still see some overlap throttle and brake so keep an eye on that

16. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull17:04:20

    Max VERSTAPPEN: Okay, well car is still like a handbrake. I can't turn the wheel properly.

    Engineer: Understood.

17. Brendon HARTLEYToro Rosso17:05:50

    Brendon HARTLEY: I got blocked. Forced India. I don't know what he was doing, but anyway.

18. Sergio PEREZForce India17:06:22

    Engineer: We can do one more cool, one more push, but the cool lap cannot be any longer than it was before, so aim for plus 40, plus 40 for timing.

19. Daniel RICCIARDORed Bull17:07:38

    Daniel RICCIARDO: Driver abilities talk to that lap. Understood.

    Engineer: You can go back to mode 4, mode 4.

20. Brendon HARTLEYToro Rosso17:08:48

    Engineer: The start of the lap is coming together, okay?

21. Brendon HARTLEYToro Rosso17:12:15

    Engineer: I do have some washout others there, especially at the start of the lap.

22. Pierre GASLYToro Rosso17:15:02

    Pierre GASLY: Ok, we need to do something for the front brakes, all the time I start the lap I have massive pulling into the hand, I cannot brake properly, so much pulling to the left, and we need to improve the traction, the combined traction is really poor.

    Engineer: Ok, we are looking at it.

23. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes17:22:59

    Engineer: This is

    Lewis HAMILTON: my left, we'll keep looking.

    Engineer: OK, we'll have a look. OK, so it looks like there's a bit of bottoming into Turn 1, that may cause that front under rotation.

24. Brendon HARTLEYToro Rosso17:24:01

    Engineer: You can overtake Sirodkin if you want. If you can't overtake, don't get too close.

25. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes17:24:32

    Engineer: Track is starting to get busy.

26. Brendon HARTLEYToro Rosso17:26:25

    Engineer: Charge on as soon as you can. Yeah, way too much understeer. Focus on recharge. Way too much understeer.

27. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes17:27:42

    Engineer: Lewis, if you think you want to go once more, you can, track's getting busy though, we have 14 cars out there now.

28. Fernando ALONSOMcLaren17:29:41

30. Daniel RICCIARDORed Bull17:32:25

    Engineer: I know the numbers are a bit lower than we talked about, but if the grip's there, that's okay.

31. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull17:35:29

    Engineer: Looking for some apex speed at 5 and 9, 5 and 9.

32. Daniel RICCIARDORed Bull17:37:35

    Daniel RICCIARDO: Has anyone improved on the second lap?

    Engineer: Vettel improved, middle sector

33. Daniel RICCIARDORed Bull17:39:16

    Engineer: You can chill in the corners but just keep up the pace and straight stop at the battery.

34. Sergey SIROTKINWilliams17:46:12

    Engineer: we'd like to try and open a push lap and we'll just see how this flat spot is copy

35. Sergio PEREZForce India17:47:18

    Engineer: First we're here, well done, getting in. Understood, let's do a launch.

36. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes17:48:06

    Engineer: Why are you not giving time updates? Vouchers had three slow laps

37. Fernando ALONSOMcLaren17:52:10

    Engineer: And there's a few... Low power. Low

    Fernando ALONSO: power.

    Engineer: Understood, stand by. And it will recover. And it should have recovered by now. Okay, stand by.

38. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull17:53:07

    Engineer: For reference Mercedes on softs

39. Fernando ALONSOMcLaren17:53:51

    Engineer: Fernando, it's possible a lot of cars are out on high fuel.

40. Sergio PEREZForce India17:54:50

    Engineer: Check us out at the moment Roo. The only cars on softs are ourselves and Mercedes.

41. Stoffel VANDOORNEMcLaren17:56:06

    Engineer: We've lost hydraulic pressure. Box now. Cool the brakes. And scenario one. Scenario one.

42. Charles LECLERCSauber17:58:21

    Engineer: Ah, sorry

    Charles LECLERC: guys, my

    Engineer: fault,

    Charles LECLERC: I touched the wall,

    Engineer: I'm

    Charles LECLERC: in the front right, it's damaged,

    Engineer: they

    Charles LECLERC: are putting extinguisher, but it's only the brakes that are fuming, but it's fine, no?

43. Daniel RICCIARDORed Bull17:59:51

    Audio only, no transcript available for this message.

44. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull17:59:55

    Max VERSTAPPEN: ...is the right front.

    Engineer: Understood. Use your tools to help it.

45. Daniel RICCIARDORed Bull18:01:46

    Engineer: So it does look like it was a good first lap and then everyone settled down a bit. Side temperatures have now peaked, so this is the grip that you're going to get.
