Brazilian Grand Prix2019 · Practice 2 team radio

EngineerClear behind, OK for burnouts.

EngineerOkay cars, there's no one behind best gap will be if you wait 10 seconds before doing the launch. It's just a wait 10 seconds

Lando NORRISIs my throttle pedal sticking at all? Round turn 2, just check the throttle Was I holding on or something? I just felt like I was trailing it or something maybe

EngineerOK, understood And Lando, it might be something physical, everything looks OK in the data, but it might be something physical

Engineerand red flag red flag drive to the Delta no overtaking and we will be boxers lap

EngineerRed flag, red flag, need to get positive on delta time, red flag, Kubica's crashed out of three. So positive plus on delta time please, and then just try and keep tire temp and we'll come back in. Okay, you're good on delta time, so just try and keep the tires warm and then we'll wrap them and get them back on heat as soon as you get back in here. So Kubica's gone off there in three apparently.

EngineerOK, straight up, stop, stop, stop, OK, that's a red flag, and, looks like Robert's gone off, so, set to go, button on, straight back in, no overtaking.

Lando NORRISI need

Engineerto

Lando NORRISpit.

EngineerThis helmet's got too much air coming through for some reason. Okay, understood. We will box this lap.

Sebastian VETTELYeah, I might take a breath, the tires are quite cold.

EngineerOkay, copy.

Lewis HAMILTONDownshift is very very aggressive, very poor

EngineerLewis is on the medium 9.9 and all losses in cornering from turn 8 onwards

Engineerto keep it out behind pushing he's three back yeah i am pushing i am pushing

Nico HULKENBERGYeah, the up and downshifts, especially with Reach and John, they felt pretty bad, and out of line, not sequenced or not synchronized at all.

EngineerYeah, understood.

Lewis HAMILTONIt's starting to spit a little bit.

EngineerOkay, copy.

Daniil KVYATYeah, my steering wheel is turning to the right, on the straight line.

EngineerCopy, we are having a look.

EngineerYou may see some spots of rain on your visor, but there's nothing serious around at the moment.

Lewis HAMILTONWhere was I down?

EngineerIt's mainly straight line speed to Vettel

EngineerIs rain still falling? Is rain falling? Yes.

Lando NORRISCan I have the other helmet please, there's still too much air coming in, it must be this visor.

EngineerThis rains not on the radar. It's that light it doesn't show up, but obviously it's bad enough to adjust the track

EngineerThe rain is getting a bit heavier now and affecting grip.

EngineerHulkenberg two and a half. Yeah, it's drizzling a bit. OK, well let's just collect some data for the moment. No, it's quite slippery mate. Alright, more box.

Max VERSTAPPENLet's just give it one lap, see what happens.

EngineerOK, understood, stay out. But tyres are cold mate, tyres are cold, so do not push, just continue to try to generate some temperature.

Max VERSTAPPENEngine braking is not good.

George RUSSELLtires weren't ready.

EngineerCopy, so the option runners were quickest at the end of the lap so this could well be this lap or the next one.

EngineerOkay, Kevin, so we'll warm the brakes, especially rear brakes, warm the brakes with normal brake events to warm the rears.

EngineerAnd back off braking slightly in the last corner to kill off that understeer.

Lewis HAMILTONGoddard was just sitting there.

EngineerOK copy loose.

EngineerAnd Lando, how do you think the front wing is?

Lando NORRISI think it's fine.

EngineerAnyone improving in the second time? Yeah, various cars improving, Carlos.

EngineerLet me know if you want to take one more clear from behind

Sebastian VETTELYeah, it was not a very tidy lap, but problem was the first lap so I'm okay there. We focus on the long run. I know what I can do with these tires. So don't worry

EngineerAnyone improving in the second time? Yeah, various cars improving Carlos, so you're now P9, Magnusson's the top midfield car, 110.14

EngineerYeah, P3, 10 to power 1, better than Leclerc. Purple, sector 2.

Daniil KVYATYep, so just the steering wheel is a big problem.

EngineerIf you could brake later for turn one, that would be good.

Antonio GIOVINAZZIBox. Yeah, the Luscombe. Luscombe power.

George RUSSELLUndersteer time 13 is atrocious

Max VERSTAPPENCopy, please look at this engine braking, it's again happening now.

EngineerCopy, stand by.

EngineerEngine 14, position 1, engine 1-4, position 1, I'll have feedback on the engine braking.

EngineerAnd target lap time 13.9, you are the only car with medium compound.

Pierre GASLYAnd in problem, and in problem.

EngineerVirtual Safety Car deployed because of Gasly, he stopped between turns 3 and 4 on the back straight.

EngineerSuggest brake balance rearwards to help front locking.

Nico HULKENBERGThe rear is quite light at the end

Engineerof

Nico HULKENBERGbraking, so I want to do that for balance. We have lock-in but the rear is pretty well loose too.

EngineerCopy that Nico. Okay Nico, we're going to box for the mediums, we're going to box for the mediums.

EngineerAnd we're looking at about three more timed on this tyre.

EngineerGood laps, good laps. How's the tire now?

Kevin MAGNUSSENStill good.

EngineerSebastian lap time 13.5 with the soft compound

EngineerMode T4, mode T4, how's the balance? Good.

EngineerI don't know how the tires, how the tires. They're

Lando NORRISalright, not even r3.

EngineerAnd you'll get eight laps.

Lewis HAMILTONI can't really hear that well.

EngineerOK, copy, so you'll get eight laps on this tyre, eight.

EngineerAnd how's the tire now? How's the tire?

Kevin MAGNUSSENStill good so far. Just starting to go a little bit now.

EngineerYep, understood, understood.

George RUSSELLI'm really struggling, just no grip, I'm just going to fight him

EngineerOk, jump out, jump out, there is fire at the back, jump out.

EngineerThere's five minutes of the session remaining Nico, so I doubt we'll get back out again

Sebastian VETTELHow was the pace?

EngineerPace was good.

Sebastian VETTELI didn't feel good, so...

EngineerDo you think we get back out again, or...?

Sebastian VETTELWe've not been restarted. Oh, sorry.
