Abu Dhabi Grand Prix2019 · Practice 2 team radio

Antonio GIOVINAZZIYeah, brake is really poorly on, I think worse than this morning.

EngineerSo we expect the brakes to be better for the next push lap.

Kevin MAGNUSSENSomething is loose behind my left shoulder.

EngineerOkay, the belts are okay, but it feels like something from the seat or something?

Kevin MAGNUSSENNo, like a big box.

EngineerOkay, I understand.

EngineerOkay, so we have to box Kevin because we think it's not safe.

Daniil KVYATLoss of power. Loss of power.

EngineerCopy Danny, adjust the battery. It's all ok. Cool down the car. Cool down.

EngineerCool, tires some more, cool tires some more.

EngineerWhat

Lewis HAMILTONa problem with downshifts.

EngineerCopy, looking into it.

Daniil KVYATAgain, the same issue.

EngineerCapitani, we do a bigger step for the next. Cool down on tyres.

EngineerAnd we see people with hard compound seems to be improving all the time.

Lance STROLLRears are really going away in the last sector.

EngineerSo carry more speed into five if you can carry more speed into five

EngineerSo just to box this lap, box this lap to go back to the other front wing. Quite

Carlos SAINZa lot more rear limited that lap.

EngineerLooks like you're struggling for grip with these tyres, so maybe a reasonably swift cool-down lap.

Nico HULKENBERGQuite low at grip, but also a bit sharp.

EngineerI suggest one cool-down lap if the tires are okay.

Alexander ALBONOkay.

EngineerLeclerc is at P3 at the moment on that hard tyre How far am I off him? Delta to Leclerc, 4 tenths

Lewis HAMILTONIt's

Engineera

Lewis HAMILTONbig struggle

Antonio GIOVINAZZIYeah, the brakes are on so bad, yeah, I have no bite at all

EngineerAtlanta the best places to find time is turn 5-6 braking

Sebastian VETTELNote that I have vibration with this set, so consider rebalancing the set. Copy.

EngineerOkay, so the laps look good Max, maybe just a little bit tidy enough at turns 8 and 11-12

Carlos SAINZYeah, quite a good lap considering the traffic on that RH.

Lewis HAMILTONAlso speak to Mad Dog, exit of turn 1, power.

Valtteri BOTTASSo we go back to the other wing

Engineerif that's your preference. I think better. Yep

EngineerAre the vibrations only front or the whole set?

Sebastian VETTELI think the whole set.

EngineerCopy.

Charles LECLERCNothing felt weird with the car obviously, yeah just to check.

EngineerGood work on the brakes, another target for the tyres.

Lewis HAMILTONSubtract air, I'm dropping.

EngineerAir by about 2 degrees since the start of session.

EngineerAll

Lance STROLLright, it's snapped.

EngineerStill trying to improve the final part of the throttle application after 7, that's creating a lot of surface damp.

EngineerMy loss to Luis was an exit of 18

EngineerBreaking point for turn 5 to be improved and apex speed in turn 7.

EngineerSo Verstappen is using more exit kerb out of 10-7 than new

EngineerThink about gaining time in turn 11 and turns 18-19

EngineerFor

Robert KUBICAwhatever reason, the

Engineergrape is terrible.

EngineerTurn 12 and 13 more minimum speed

Antonio GIOVINAZZIWhat what Madison is doing I need to do another one

Lando NORRISWhat's Lewis doing?

EngineerNot sure what they were doing there.

Kevin MAGNUSSENThere's no grip. No

Engineergrip, okay.

Daniil KVYATHey, a gap behind, please.

EngineerNobody behind. You have an infinite gap.

Daniil KVYATThere are some quite big holes in the drivability on the usual tip-in

Daniil KVYATThere are some quite big holes in the drivability on the initial tip-in

EngineerPress and hold overtake out of 7, then turn straight.

EngineerOn the exit of turn nine can we have four seconds overtake, four seconds of the overtake.

Lewis HAMILTONThere's often a lot of knock-off in the brake.

EngineerWe think this pace for now is pretty good. Fractionally quicker than Carlos at this point but it's good. Continue this.

Pierre GASLYI've got Astralis behind, what should I do?

EngineerYou can keep him behind, it's ok. We focus on ourselves.

Valtteri BOTTASI'll just be here trying to overtake.

EngineerOK, Lewis first lap, 42.5, you were at 42.6.

George RUSSELLConsistently have an over-rotation entry of five.

Pierre GASLYSomething really strange happened on the engine.

EngineerCopy, we're checking.

EngineerLewis is on the soft and we're in mid 42s, looks decent tyre

EngineerWe need a bit more wheel spin management, we need more wheel spin management, we are still looking at the engine problem, we are still looking to try and help you, keep you posted.

EngineerAnd radio check when you can, try to talk a bit louder. Radio check, radio check, radio check. Copy, loud and clear.

EngineerThat's another good lap, Carlos. Other cars are high dag.

Romain GROSJEANIt's a rear right, we haven't expected that.

EngineerAnd I'll have a tyre update when you can, please.

Romain GROSJEANWhat the f**k was that?

EngineerIt

Valtteri BOTTASjust did turn into wind, didn't leave any space so...

Lewis HAMILTONWho crashed?

EngineerContact between Valtteri and Grosjean Valtteri was going down the inside of Grosjean at 11 and Grosjean turned in so they hit each other

Lewis HAMILTONCould have guessed

Sebastian VETTELOK, is there any good slots around me?

Max VERSTAPPENWe have other cabs on track, as soon as I slow down, he's slowing down, so it doesn't make a lot of sense.

EngineerFive. I

Daniel RICCIARDOfeel like something switched off at turn one there. Okay, we'll have a look.

EngineerSo focus on mid to exit turn 6, don't push 5 too much.

EngineerI've got to back off again. Understood, yeah, I know he just came out in front of you, so 7 behind. He's unbelievable. Yeah, this is bot test though, it's a different one. Anyway, stroll 7 behind.

EngineerOkay, we've got two more laps. We've got three seconds behind to Hülkenberg.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, but when I slow down, he slows down. That's the problem.

EngineerSuggest brake balance 1% forwards for turns 5, 6, 7.

EngineerOkay, happy to fire up with the MGK and we have 50 seconds to leave the pit lane. Am I still in first or not? It'll sort itself out if you are, so you can do it.

EngineerOk Carlos, relative to the midfield that stint looks pretty good. Racing point also looking quite good at high fuel.

Carlos SAINZSo how was the pace, if you're correct for what we know? Ok

EngineerCarlos, relative to the midfield that stint looks pretty good. Racing point also looking quite good at high fuel.

EngineerSo we have a leak, we'll slow it up please. Copy.

EngineerAnd just watch the blip.

Lando NORRISMy blip, is that why I keep doing that?

EngineerYes, that's correct.

Lando NORRISYou're saying it's something I'm doing different to any other weekend, like I've never had this all year and now I do it twice in one go.

EngineerYep Lando, that's a fair point, we're checking the data but for now that's what we can see.
