Brazilian Grand Prix2019 · Practice 1 team radio

EngineerAnd radio check.

Charles LECLERCRadio check, okay.

EngineerTorque 1, I'm modus long, for Bernhards

Kimi RAIKKONENThis is for what?

EngineerYes, AFM.

EngineerI'm not 100% happy with the throttle

Romain GROSJEANapplication and the torque delivery, I'm very low.

Engineersuggest recharge on for the first part of the outlap

EngineerSo caution, we see loss of rear load from the rear wing, so stop in the box we're going to remove trip strips and then we're going to go for a start.

Carlos SAINZYeah, very poor drivability in second gear. Initial throttle.

EngineerCopy, are you happy to stay out?

Carlos SAINZYeah, for the moment.

EngineerCopy, stay out.

EngineerLet us know how far from inters you think it is. I

Valtteri BOTTASthink it's pretty close to being inter.

EngineerCopy that.

EngineerOk Carlos, suggest to open one more lap, open one more lap and box at the end of the next lap, don't complete the next lap Err,

Carlos SAINZwhy?

EngineerErr, to preserve the tyres so we can do the test with good tyres

Carlos SAINZOkay, box copy

Engineerbox this lap

Carlos SAINZAre we gonna remove those pitots?

EngineerYes, box the slap and we'll get that cleaned up

Carlos SAINZYeah, I wanted to stay out because it's nearly inters right now.

EngineerCopy. So I would go.

Carlos SAINZI didn't see the bridge light because of the uphill, can you just double check I wasn't called?

EngineerOh yeah, you weren't called. Carlos, is that that you can't see the light or you just missed it? Missed it. Copy.

EngineerTrack clear, pink strat 12, pink strat 12.

EngineerPull up outside the garage Checo, so pull up outside the garage, just caution, slow low and be slippery.

Lance STROLLThe track's wet but there's no real puddles. Looks like it's drying up.

EngineerCopy that Lance. I think we'll just wait for it to dry a bit more.

EngineerIt will be mode race for last corner, mode race.

Charles LECLERCLux, Lux.

EngineerLet me know if it's for inters.

Charles LECLERCYeah, it's for inters.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerTyre shouldn't be too bad to get going, tyre shouldn't be too bad to get going The low limit is minus 50 at the front, low limit is minus 50 at the front For info we've got two cars on inter

Carlos SAINZI think I'm going to cool down one lap and go again. I'm learning a bit. Ok,

Engineerdon't damage the tyre too much Carlos, other cars are boxing for inters now.

Carlos SAINZCopy, is my lap time competitive?

EngineerYour P2 Carlos, only four cars have set laps. So Leclerc has gone out on inters, that's the car behind you.

Carlos SAINZThe tyre state looks good, but how far away am I from P1?

EngineerOne second Carlos, nine tenths.

EngineerAnd Lando, how's the track conditions now? It's getting better, I'd

Lando NORRISsay it's pretty much in to us.

EngineerOK, understood.

EngineerAnd Lando we suggest we will box this lap, would you like to box this lap?

EngineerIt's clearly internal. It's clearly personal.

EngineerDani, we think it's inter now, so box, box. I

Daniil KVYATjust wanted one more lap for reference.

EngineerDani, I understand your comment, but I didn't want to destroy the tyre. So we are going out on inter soon.

Daniil KVYATOK.

EngineerOkay copy box copy box for new interest

Nico HULKENBERGGood to box. It's we're using the front right tire quite a lot now Starting to open up a little bit

EngineerCouple that Niko

EngineerAnd are you happy to go fast, low fast? I could use scenario 9 and SOC 13 if so.

Daniel RICCIARDOOK.

EngineerNico felt we were damaging the front right.

EngineerCarlos, I think most of the time is middle sector, I don't have corner specific. You can go to lower SOC, we've recalibrated the dash. So suggest SOC 4, SOC 4.

Daniel RICCIARDOOK, I feel we're starting to damage a little bit the tyres.

EngineerOK, understood, so if you're happy with that we could box after this. Yep,

Daniel RICCIARDOlet's box.

EngineerOK, Kevin, what do you think? Do you have a feel, or I'll do one more. The

Kevin MAGNUSSENtires are still good.

EngineerOK.

Carlos SAINZHow is the weather looking for P2?

EngineerLower chance of rain in FP2 than P1, lower chance of rain in P2 for one, difficult to be specific.

EngineerThere's a few dry

Nicholas LATIFIpatches starting to form.

EngineerOkay Kimmy, can we have break Compensation 7 please?

EngineerV3, we think we are still seeing some stall even on pit exit, keep you updated.

EngineerWatch the kerb exit 13, watch the kerb exit 13.

EngineerIf you're happy with that, we can box. Sorry,

Valtteri BOTTASjust taking a stint.

EngineerOver.

EngineerDRS has been enabled.

Engineerwas extremely

Nicholas LATIFIbad.

EngineerCopy that. So we'll box this lap, I don't think we're learning anything in these conditions so we can come through and do a practice start.

Alexander ALBONIt's going to restock soon, I don't know if you want to think about it?

EngineerOK, copy, understood.

Alexander ALBONIt's not 6 yet.

EngineerOK copy, but will it be in 8 minutes time?

Alexander ALBONYes, I

Engineerthink so.

Alexander ALBONBasically sector 2 from turns 4 to turn 8 is dry, and then it's just dry. It's just a bit wet in the low slicks corners.

EngineerOK copy. I'm happy then Alex if we come in and prepare for slicks. So I'm happy then if we box, Alex box.

EngineerSo a few cars ahead are left on the soft tyre, on the medium, and work the brakes where you can.

Max VERSTAPPENI think it's too slippery.

Carlos SAINZIt's raining a bit, I think.

EngineerCopy, Carlos. There's nothing on the radar.

EngineerYep, copy.

Alexander ALBONSorry, the brakes just went, they just weren't really caught.

EngineerYeah understood mate, you can go P0 when you're ready, there's still 10 cars on track, Grosjean will be the last car.

Daniil KVYATYeah, it's stupid, but let's try to warm up the tyres one lap.

EngineerCopy, you can warm up now, we have one push available. For

Daniil KVYATme it's too late and pointless, so I would say...

EngineerRed flag, red flag, follow the reference. And charge on, charge on. Albon stopped after turn 12.
