Bahrain Grand Prix 2019: Practice 1 team radio

Every message, in the order it happened

1. Nico HULKENBERGRenault11:07:20

   Nico HULKENBERG: So much boost for the burnouts, seems like there's some boost missing.

   Engineer: Copy that Niko.

2. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull11:16:43

   Engineer: Okay, so eyes on dash, tyre targets looking reasonable at this stage, maybe minus five on the rear

3. Alexander ALBONRed Bull11:23:32

   Engineer: Charge on. Mode 2 in the background. Charge on. Mode 2 in the background.

   Alexander ALBON: I cannot change. When I put mode 2, the PU says mode 30.

   Engineer: Charge off. Charge off. On back to charge on. It's because we were on charge on. No problem. Charge on now.

4. Lance STROLLRacing Point11:25:38

   Engineer: Are

   Lance STROLL: the rears too cold?

   Engineer: Not really, not much, all tyres looked good.

5. Lance STROLLRacing Point11:26:48

   Lance STROLL: Spanner hit the front wing I have to box, I have to box

6. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas11:28:55

   Engineer: If nothing else I would just try brake balance rearward in 1, there's not too much rear locking, the diff is already open, so just try the brake balance big adjust to rearward for turn 1, see if that helps rotate the car at all.

   Kevin MAGNUSSEN: It's more like a sudden thing at mid-corner, rather than when you're off brakes.

7. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull11:29:50

   Max VERSTAPPEN: Ah, lost the rear suddenly a lot.

8. Carlos SAINZMcLaren11:31:17

   Engineer: Nervousness in turn 13 was because you left the left-hand side toggle on and that stopped the right-hand side toggle from working? Ah,

   Carlos SAINZ: OK, copy. Yeah.

9. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas11:35:02

   Engineer: So just, once you've done the throttle ramps, go slow so we can clear Ramon. Sorry about that.

10. Lando NORRISMcLaren11:36:07

    Engineer: I seem to be struggling on power, do I need to go back on the H position change? Yes please, so it's white multi H8 position 3 please, multi H8 position 3.

11. George RUSSELLWilliams11:37:21

    Engineer: Something's wrong, I'm in ghost start, it's pitting them off. I can't accelerate. OK, it's gone high temp, it's a high temp issue, so try as best you can to get the speed up with as little revs as you can.

12. Pierre GASLYRed Bull11:39:13

    Engineer: Can

    Pierre GASLY: you check what's going on with the engine braking?

    Engineer: It's

    Pierre GASLY: like a massive vibration through the corner makes the car super oversteery at the apex.

13. Nico HULKENBERGRenault11:53:23

    Nico HULKENBERG: Mark, are we playing a high fuel for the end of P1?

    Engineer: That's what we plan at the moment, but with the track temperatures, we might need to reconsider. But we can change our minds later, one way or the other.

14. Antonio GIOVINAZZIAlfa Romeo11:54:37

    Antonio GIOVINAZZI: Clear right is not working. Temperature 2.

    Engineer: Copy Antonio.

15. Carlos SAINZMcLaren11:57:38

    Engineer: and Carlos with the track evolution and the compound land I found two seconds

16. Carlos SAINZMcLaren11:58:52

    Engineer: Okay Carlos, that's P7. Good job. Recharge on and you have a 18 second gap behind.

17. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:59:35

    Engineer: No

    Lewis HAMILTON: one's got quicker on their second lap, correct?

    Engineer: I haven't got any info on that at the moment.

18. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo11:59:51

    Kimi RAIKKONEN: Yeah, the McLaren almost hit me on the side.

    Engineer: Okay, copy that.

19. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo12:02:17

    Engineer: Ok Kimi, it will be mode charge. Let's cool down these tires please.

20. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes12:02:29

    Engineer: And Valtteri, there's currently tailwind into the last corner, so think about it.

21. Nico HULKENBERGRenault12:02:55

    Engineer: Russell one second, no

    Nico HULKENBERG: he went off, he backed off, okay in

    Engineer: that case Kubica six seconds behind is your threat

22. Charles LECLERCFerrari12:04:57

    Charles LECLERC: We can box at the end of this lap.

    Engineer: OK, you can finish it if you want, if not, come back, let me know.

23. Carlos SAINZMcLaren12:06:45

    Engineer: So Carlos, plan is to open a lap and box at the end of it. Obviously if the Delta looks good and you want to complete the lap, just let me know.

    Carlos SAINZ: Copy, want

    Engineer: to try apart from the flap? No, happy just to try the flap, happy just to try the flap. Track position is good.

24. Lance STROLLRacing Point12:09:50

    Engineer: How is the balance on that lap, Lance? Yeah,

    Lance STROLL: quite bad. I mean, I've understeered, made a corner, and then...

    Engineer: Copy that.

25. Lance STROLLRacing Point12:12:32

    Engineer: So again cool raise, maintain front temperature, cool raise.

26. Lando NORRISMcLaren12:13:02

    Engineer: And let's leave recharge on please, let's leave recharge on

    Lando NORRIS: Leave it on or leave it on?

    Engineer: We'll leave it on for the formation lap which is what this is

27. Lance STROLLRacing Point12:15:58

    Engineer: The tires

    Lance STROLL: are just gum on the rear. You're telling me to stay in front of Norris, but I can't go that quick or else the tires won't be good.

28. Alexander ALBONRed Bull12:16:58

    Alexander ALBON: The car is changing so much from that one change, where is Robert now?

29. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo12:22:17

    Kimi RAIKKONEN: Yeah, the f***ing Toro Rosso just pushed me completely off the surface.

    Engineer: Okay, that was Albon, alright. F***ing

    Kimi RAIKKONEN: flying.

30. George RUSSELLWilliams12:24:51

    Engineer: Okay, talk to me.

    George RUSSELL: Yeah, all good mate. Okay.

31. Nico HULKENBERGRenault12:29:43

    Nico HULKENBERG: There's

    Engineer: cars

    Nico HULKENBERG: everywhere. Just touching a Giminanzi actually.

    Engineer: I have no idea what he was playing out there.

32. Daniel RICCIARDORenault12:30:24

    Engineer: Ok, any

    Daniel RICCIARDO: balance comments already? At this stage,

    Engineer: I

    Daniel RICCIARDO: struggle to pick any positives.
