Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2019: Practice 1 team radio

Every message, in the order it happened

1. Carlos SAINZMcLaren09:02:02

   Engineer: I'm ready to check exit turn 7, this is where I talk to you a lot in the race

2. Nico HULKENBERGRenault09:06:25

   Engineer: So it reminds us to use the brakes firmly.

3. Daniel RICCIARDORenault09:15:43

   Daniel RICCIARDO: If it's going to take 10 minutes or something to get these rinks off, I might jump out and go to the toilet, otherwise I'll stay in.

4. Alexander ALBONRed Bull09:17:40

   Alexander ALBON: Highlands feels pretty good. A little bit of oversteer at low speed.

   Engineer: High

   Alexander ALBON: speed feels pretty good.

   Engineer: Copy, thanks mate.

5. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull09:19:31

   Engineer: So you have some margin to stress the tires a little bit on the outlet

6. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas09:20:20

   Engineer: Just make sure you do a big break for 8 or 11 just to get the break temps up

7. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull09:21:16

   Engineer: Okay Alex second lap at 39.9, Bottas second push lap at 37.9, he was a tenth quicker on his second push.

8. Nico HULKENBERGRenault09:22:48

   Engineer: Would suggest a very slow cool down lap to try and get these rear tyre temperatures down

9. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas09:24:55

   Engineer: I think you had the funk so you did the out lap you did funk 2 and you did the big adjuster and you had that for the initial part of the lap I don't think it mattered too much yeah it's too complicated to do all these things yeah understood we need to yeah just think of a smarter way okay

10. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull09:25:08

    Max VERSTAPPEN: Just turn 8, out of the corner, the engine braking, it's not great.

11. Romain GROSJEANHaas09:25:39

    Romain GROSJEAN: Strangely, the feeling is not as bad as the lap time.

12. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo09:27:00

    Kimi RAIKKONEN: The brakes are not good at all.

    Engineer: Copy.

13. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes09:27:00

    Engineer: The

    Lewis HAMILTON: engine feels really slow.

14. Nico HULKENBERGRenault09:28:14

    Engineer: suggest top right modifier brake balance forwards for turn 8

15. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes09:28:36

    Engineer: Is

    Lewis HAMILTON: there another strat mode?

    Engineer: No, this next one will be strat 2.

16. Carlos SAINZMcLaren09:29:13

    Engineer: And make sure you've got the car fully over to the left before turn 20. I don't know if there's any more room there

17. Romain GROSJEANHaas09:29:44

    Engineer: And we can try shape 5, shape 5 for this next lap. Yeah,

    Romain GROSJEAN: no, I don't have enough confidence on the rears. No

    Engineer: problem.

    Romain GROSJEAN: Maybe later in the evening, but good reminder.

18. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull09:30:34

    Engineer: OK, so deficits to Bottas. A couple of tenths at turn 8-9, which is where you've noted. A tenth and a half at turn 14, and two tenths at turn 21.

19. Lando NORRISMcLaren09:31:14

    Engineer: Main place to find time is turn one. There's a little bit in braking there

20. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes09:31:22

    Lewis HAMILTON: Big separation in front brakes.

    Engineer: Yeah, copy we've seen that

21. George RUSSELLWilliams09:32:34

    George RUSSELL: Kai that she felt in a half decent window struggled with the

    Engineer: rear

22. Pierre GASLYRed Bull09:33:09

    Engineer: Let's try to put a bit more braking energy on energy back in the front tires on the second cool down

23. Nico HULKENBERGRenault09:35:28

    Engineer: We can do a few more of those DRS activations on the next lap after the start from the box.

24. Carlos SAINZMcLaren09:36:15

    Carlos SAINZ: Yeah, anyway, there's a lot of track evolution, but this traffic in the last sector is very pain.

25. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes09:38:07

    Lewis HAMILTON: I got lip on, lip on Ok,

    Engineer: copy

26. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes09:38:28

    Engineer: And if another driver default is 0-1, driver default 0-1, so HPP default 0-1.

27. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes09:39:00

    Engineer: So we'll box the end of the slat, the protection should have cleared.

    Lewis HAMILTON: Chester, still in for knock?

    Engineer: So it's just a box, it should be ok.

28. George RUSSELLWilliams09:51:25

    Engineer: I'm

    George RUSSELL: feeling a bit of vibration on the outboard side of both front axle, both front tires and the front axle at higher speed.

29. Alexander ALBONRed Bull09:54:42

    Alexander ALBON: That feels like a bit of vibration with these size

30. Romain GROSJEANHaas09:55:37

    Romain GROSJEAN: I'm having fun with the Williams this morning, am I not?

31. Alexander ALBONRed Bull09:55:45

    Alexander ALBON: There's so much at the steer

32. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas09:56:33

    Engineer: And probably try 6th gear in turn 20.

33. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes09:56:42

    Engineer: Can

    Lewis HAMILTON: you make a judgment for my front brakes, the left is still cold.

    Engineer: We're just discussing we need to make some slightly bigger changes we think.

34. Carlos SAINZMcLaren09:57:12

    Engineer: So Carlos if the car does have too much understeer our advice is to come down on the torque switch down on the torque switch during the lap

35. Daniel RICCIARDORenault10:00:19

    Daniel RICCIARDO: I think it's

    Engineer: down at the back. Yeah, copy that.

36. Carlos SAINZMcLaren10:02:01

    Carlos SAINZ: Like I wasn't pushing but I felt like the truck was very slippery even if I didn't push

    Engineer: Yeah, understood to see that in the data, Carlos We do see flames from out the back of Ricardo's car in the final corner. So probably there was oil

37. Carlos SAINZMcLaren10:03:44

    Carlos SAINZ: Yeah, there's soil all over the place.

38. Pierre GASLYRed Bull10:06:53

    Pierre GASLY: Ricardo lost the engine. I put oil everywhere. I'm full of oil

39. Alexander ALBONRed Bull10:15:24

    Engineer: So have a look from turn 20 to turn 21, there's likely to be a lot of cement dust so you may want to go offline and keep your tyres clean starting the lap and be cautious finishing your lap.

40. Carlos SAINZMcLaren10:15:28

    Engineer: Carlos, the track is shown slippery in turn 20 to 21. We've seen them putting cement dust down there. Okay.

41. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes10:17:43

    Engineer: And we have RS Magic on, RS Magic on.

42. Nico HULKENBERGRenault10:18:12

    Engineer: Rear tyre temps aren't as low as I expected.

43. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo10:20:21

    Kimi RAIKKONEN: Yeah, we'll go after this lap.

    Engineer: OK, you want to push this lap then?

    Kimi RAIKKONEN: Yes, I will. Copy.

44. Sergio PEREZRacing Point10:22:05

    Engineer: that was down so russell is high field behind he's eight seconds behind we want a faster out lap faster cool down lap checker to keep the temps just call the surface

45. Carlos SAINZMcLaren10:22:36

    Carlos SAINZ: I don't want to cool the tire too much.

    Engineer: Copy.

46. Nico HULKENBERGRenault10:24:49

    Nico HULKENBERG: Miroslav,

    Engineer: I

    Nico HULKENBERG: braked in quite a lot on the straight, that's

    Engineer: why

    Nico HULKENBERG: I'm hard to see Kath.

    Engineer: Copy that, sorry mate.

47. Carlos SAINZMcLaren10:26:44

    Carlos SAINZ: Why so much clipping all of a sudden?

48. Sebastian VETTELFerrari10:28:53

    Sebastian VETTEL: You okay? Yeah, I'm okay.

49. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo10:31:51

    Engineer: And give me a quick one, are you happy to keep these brakes for FP2?

    Kimi RAIKKONEN: No, absolutely not. The front is a lot better, but I still don't have a bite, so I need some proper brakes. It's

    Engineer: the

    Kimi RAIKKONEN: last race, so let's stop saving and put some decent brakes that we can slow down.

50. Romain GROSJEANHaas10:32:29

    Engineer: Is that the end of the session? That is unfortunately the end of the session. They're not going to restart it or let us go out on two starts. I'm absolutely dying for ****. I'm going to jump out the cricket and the bullet from the gun. Okay, understood.
