Azerbaijan Grand Prix2019 · Practice 2 team radio

EngineerSo 50 seconds to the green light still red light

EngineerOkay, so we'll have two burnouts in mode slow and then back to mode race start

EngineerRemember we're going into another push lap if possible.

Daniil KVYATSteering wheel is very, very hard for some reason. Tell me what's happening. Like I have no steering wheel assistance anymore. Okay, I'm struggling to stay on track, so I

Engineerbox. You have Norris and Grosjean behind you.

Daniil KVYATAnd now it's light again. I don't understand. Tell me what you think. We

Engineerare checking Danny and box, box, box, box. We'll check.

EngineerOk, and how's that tyre?

Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, it's not great, but I can survive if we have to.

EngineerOk, understood.

EngineerDude, let's push again, let's push again.

EngineerOkay, we will push again, push again. Your best lap is with higher temps than this. You're still P5, so your original lap time is still good. Let's get some more temp.

EngineerOkay Nico, so we want to practice a tyre change, so aggressive stop on the marks please for a tyre change, and then P1.

EngineerIn terms of sectors, it's down 3 tenths sector 1 and 6 tenths sector 3, you are purple in the middle sector, up 2 tenths. How

Lewis HAMILTONmany tenths in the last sector?

EngineerNearly 6 tenths, looks mainly straight line speed, need to have a look at GPS, it is poor quality.

EngineerI can only

Lance STROLLshunt it.

EngineerCopy that. Are you okay? Just

Lance STROLLgot a snap on entry.

EngineerAnd Alex get ready to change your balaclava before we start talking, we have a problem with your microphone, we have a fuzz with your microphone, so we can start talking, get ready to change balaclava please.

EngineerVSC, VSC, red flag, red flag, so we will box this lap, and follow the delta, remember, do not overtake, do not overtake, and box this lap. So there is a troll who crashed in turn 2.

EngineerI think Leclerc also had very good toe there from Verstappen.

Lewis HAMILTONGet the other wing ready. Grip is high.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerOkay, when you were on track you were up around P8, P9 so it's just track getting quicker as people are staying out.

EngineerDo your best to warm the tyres, currently around minus 10 compared to where you were running on track, front and rear.

Pierre GASLYTell me again the target Front

Engineerminus 10 front minus 10 rear minus 20 rear minus 20

Sebastian VETTELOkay, I don't

Engineerknow.

Sebastian VETTELLet's try to break it to 3. Understood.

EngineerYep, get yourself track position to sides, radio is keyed up Max. Okay, that's good.

Lewis HAMILTONsectors to

EngineerValtteri so down half a tenth sector one tenth in the middle and tenth in sector three just need to check on toes

Sebastian VETTELOk, I timed the slipstream a little bit short with the clouds, to give you a better tool.

EngineerOk, copy.

Lewis HAMILTONThat's

Engineerthe

Lewis HAMILTONmiddle sector.

EngineerSo 11 and 12 where we're losing the time, minimum corner speed.

EngineerOkay Landau, I'd like to box this lap, box this lap, that was a really good lap and call the brakes into the pit lane please, call the brakes into the pit lane and please confirm.

Lando NORRISYeah confirm, box this lap.

EngineerOkay we're going to stop on the marks for a front wing change please, so this will be stop on the marks for a nose box change.

EngineerAgalus, P3 at the moment, got Leclerc and Vettel P1 and P2, Valtteri behind P4, so 4.5 tenths to Valtteri, behind we've got Leclerc 6.5 tenths ahead, to Leclerc it's mainly middle sector, half a second, and then a tenth in sectors 1 and 3, if you think the tyres have got any life left in them you may take another lap,

Lewis HAMILTONhalf a second middle sector yeah, AFR to Leclerc,

EngineerI

Valtteri BOTTAShave a problem with the helmet. I'm waiting to change my helmet. I'm getting some air from the visor.

EngineerNow if you don't think there's another lap in it, then we can get on with the long run.

EngineerI do another lap. Yeah yeah no problem you have nobody behind so try to go full throttle as much as you can to charge the battery nobody behind.

Kimi RAIKKONENYeah but we don't charge the full battery for some reason I've been going full throttle the whole lap before.

EngineerCopy that we'll have a look.

Engineerjust be patient and try again, track is clear, track is clear

Kimi RAIKKONENI don't know what's wrong with the brake pedal, but it's much longer travel than, let's say, in the last race. You're on there, aren't you? It doesn't feel nice.

Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, flat spot's pretty big, I'll keep you posted.

Carlos SAINZYeah, I still need one more, I think.

EngineerCopy, no problem, so recharge on is good, and try and get temperature in the tyres.

EngineerAnd we need to start, we need two burnouts, and target to red. ****

Charles LECLERCforgot the burnouts.

EngineerNo problem.

Carlos SAINZYeah folks, I don't know that snap, where did it come from, but it took away some confidence. Copy.

EngineerAnd Carlos, that snap turn 3, there was a gust of tailwind, 15 kph tailwind.

EngineerI've

Romain GROSJEANgot some hard grading coming in the rears.

EngineerUnderstood.

EngineerCan we stay out and try and build temperature? We need to try and build... No, no, no, no. We are not ready to box. We have to stay out. We need to stay out.

Romain GROSJEANIt's dangerous. I can't be able to flatten a bloody 18-19.

EngineerWe would still like to stay out if it's okay with you.

Romain GROSJEANNo, it's not.

EngineerI'm

Romain GROSJEANsorry, but I just don't feel like it.

Daniil KVYATI'm sorry guys

EngineerSo let's go for one more we'll go for one more We will likely open the lap and then bail but to all intents and purposes. We've got one more shot at this

EngineerCar in the wall exiting turn 7, be careful, be careful, red flag, stay positive and box.

EngineerOK, Nico, just warning for slippery track surface at turn 7.

EngineerReport a slippery track there turn 7 turn 8 where you were

EngineerSo the red flag was caused by Kvyat between turns 7 and 8, there's a bit of extinguish on the floor there, so just be mindful showing slippery surface between 7 and 8.

Charles LECLERCSomething weird this lap out of turn 2.

EngineerOK, checking it, we see it on data, exit turn 2, but nothing to worry about, everything is fine.

EngineerCheck if it could be debris turn seven so into seven and out of seven there could still be some debris

Nico HULKENBERGFront-locking is very on the edge. It really feels like the car is unloading and then braking.

EngineerThis is not urgent. Two more time lapse max, two more. Keep on top of your tools.

EngineerIt's

Max VERSTAPPENvery rough on the dark seats.

EngineerOK, stand by.

EngineerWe can box this lap here, box, pit, box, attack, pit entry and practice pit stop.
