Spanish Grand Prix 2019: Practice 2 team radio

Every message, in the order it happened

1. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas14:01:51

   Engineer: Mode push, mode push.

2. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas14:06:18

   Kevin MAGNUSSEN: Quite

   Engineer: a bit of understeer. Yeah, okay, that's what we were thinking. So I think entry 22, diff 22 for the next lap and we'll look at other tools.

   Kevin MAGNUSSEN: Torque?

   Engineer: Yeah, torque is fine, you could do a step of torque as well. And also we don't have any rear locking so you could try brake balance rearward. So yeah, you do all three of those, they're all reasonable steps.

3. Robert KUBICAWilliams14:11:15

   Engineer: Okay, from your side Robert. Yeah,

   Robert KUBICA: okay, I spin. I have cold tires and I spin on the last corner. So I'm in the pit lane, I go pass by and I go out again.

   Engineer: Okay, copy that.

4. Daniel RICCIARDORenault14:11:42

   Audio only, no transcript available for this message.

5. Nico HULKENBERGRenault14:11:43

   Nico HULKENBERG: Yeah, like now I go to scenario 8, but at this blade the dash says scenario 14, one of them examples.

   Engineer: Copy that Niko, it's showing you the recharge on selection at the moment for some reason, don't fully understand why.

   Nico HULKENBERG: It's been like that for a while actually.

   Engineer: Okay, copy.

6. Sergio PEREZRacing Point14:13:18

   Engineer: Consider diff open. Diff open turns four and five.

7. Lando NORRISMcLaren14:15:13

   Lando NORRIS: Scenario 5 is correct.

   Engineer: Yep, that's correct, Scenario 5 is good. And there's a little bit to be had braking Turn 1, and just watch how wide you go Turn 13.

8. Carlos SAINZMcLaren14:19:50

   Carlos SAINZ: OK, I need to box. I broke the right hand clutch paddle, when you need it.

   Engineer: Copy. I

   Carlos SAINZ: mean, I could run, but I cannot find it, so I don't know where it is in

   Engineer: the

   Carlos SAINZ: cockpit.

   Engineer: OK, copy.

9. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes14:22:33

   Engineer: You can take a second cooldown lap if you think is necessary, so your purple Sector 2 and Sector 3. I'll need

   Valtteri BOTTAS: another cooldown lap.

   Engineer: Yeah, go for it.

10. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:23:55

    Engineer: So Lewis, compared to Leclerc on the hard tyre, so just down the tenth sector one but up a tenth and a half sector two. The main losses to Leclerc look to be just on straights.

11. Alexander ALBONRed Bull14:24:21

    Alexander ALBON: OK, uh, balance wise, it felt like now I'm getting even more disconnected to the car from low speed to high speed, so on that last push it felt like I had enough room to stay at high speed.

12. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes14:26:45

    Engineer: And just a reminder, if you're going straight into turn one or two, there's the bollard there. And you can try a step rearwards on brake balance for turn one.

13. George RUSSELLWilliams14:30:02

    Engineer: OK, that's good, we'll take the slow lap, so rear's overheating, so target plus 40 on go out lap, go out lap plus 40, we can afford to drop the front as well.

14. Charles LECLERCFerrari14:32:48

    Charles LECLERC: Where am I losing?

    Engineer: We are losing 2 and 3 and 13

15. Alexander ALBONRed Bull14:34:47

    Alexander ALBON: I think we still have that problem with the brakes, it seems like as soon as they get cold, when I brake, the car turns there. Yeah, I can confirm that, it's still there. But yeah, balance wise, so as I said before, medium speed, car feels more connected.

16. Sergio PEREZRacing Point14:36:41

    Engineer: Checker we'll do two cool laps, we'll do two cool laps, that'll help us with charge as well as tyres.

17. Carlos SAINZMcLaren14:37:43

    Engineer: okay Carlos Vettel ahead is showing as being on a new soft but he's already run two sets this session Vettel could well be high fuel

18. Daniil KVYATToro Rosso14:43:16

    Engineer: What's the limitation, Dani?

    Daniil KVYAT: Yeah, a bit of snaps, like unexpected snaps in turn 7, and a bit in turn 12, kind of rear is a bit stepping out sometimes.

19. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:45:34

    Engineer: OK Lewis, so it looks like the clerk went for a double call and then managed to improve on his time, so let's do that, go for a double call down You've got KVAT behind 12 seconds

    Lewis HAMILTON: I'll do a drive through

    Engineer: I need more wing OK, copy, let us know how much

    Lewis HAMILTON: 2 holes

    Engineer: OK, copy

20. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull14:47:46

    Max VERSTAPPEN: I lost power suddenly, it's going now but I was accelerating and it was not well with the pedal but it was not accelerating.

    Engineer: Okay standby, happy for you to continue at this stage, I'll keep you posted.

21. Lance STROLLRacing Point14:49:21

    Engineer: so tyre temperatures are pretty much good where they are now a hundred front so a good break into turn 10 to maintain brake temp

22. Charles LECLERCFerrari14:52:46

    Engineer: Try to drive us on Sunday, before the race. Yeah, yeah.

23. Lando NORRISMcLaren14:55:55

    Engineer: And Lando we suggest trying the left hand toggle in turn 5 and turn 7. That's left hand toggle turn 5, turn 7.

24. Nico HULKENBERGRenault14:56:29

    Engineer: For reference, Nico, McLaren started their first time-lapse slightly slower, around about 24.0, and are now mid to high 23s.

25. Daniel RICCIARDORenault14:57:02

    Engineer: So Nico's lap times were 23.5 and he had front graining after about four laps.

26. Lance STROLLRacing Point14:58:12

    Engineer: So Lance we should get 8 on this tyre and 13 on the next tyre. 8 and 13. Pit stop in between.

27. Charles LECLERCFerrari14:58:37

    Engineer: And we need multifunction DO position 4, DO position 4, Sebastian 22.8, same compound.

28. Charles LECLERCFerrari15:00:10

    Engineer: And target lap time 22.8, 22.8

29. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes15:01:43

    Engineer: Just think about throttle application before the first or second shift.

30. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes15:02:29

    Engineer: Clutch position 1% deep.

31. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes15:04:06

    Engineer: Clutch position was deep, 2%

    Lewis HAMILTON: Yeah, that's deliberate, there's

    Engineer: a

    Lewis HAMILTON: lot of grip

    Engineer: OK, copy

32. George RUSSELLWilliams15:07:18

    George RUSSELL: Still struggling entry of one rear instability

33. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo15:09:13

    Engineer: Ok Kimi, your brakes are too hot, so either we move the brake balance reward or we start some lift and coast.

    Kimi RAIKKONEN: Is there something we can remove? First stop.

    Engineer: Ok Kimi, we will box this lap.

34. Daniel RICCIARDORenault15:09:36

    Daniel RICCIARDO: Balance is fairly consistent at the moment, both axles fairly even.

    Engineer: OK, understood.

35. Carlos SAINZMcLaren15:10:18

    Engineer: Carlos this is still looking strong the Haas cars currently are around 124 our dag looks good

36. George RUSSELLWilliams15:13:05

    George RUSSELL: Like this snap there entry of four. This is what I'm feeling everywhere I've got nothing guys on the rear entry. I'm doing everything with tools and I've still got instability

    Engineer: Copy that. Stand by. We'll look to come down on the wing for the next set

37. Daniel RICCIARDORenault15:14:20

    Daniel RICCIARDO: What's

    Engineer: the

    Daniel RICCIARDO: medium pace at the moment?

    Engineer: Currently I only see Vettel on the mediums, the rest is also just doing outlaps, I'll keep you updated. So for info Vettel was doing 23.2 on the soft and is now doing 22.5 on the mediums.

38. Nico HULKENBERGRenault15:16:20

    Engineer: Nico, could we have PU13 position 4 please?

39. Daniel RICCIARDORenault15:17:00

    Engineer: Okay, so for pace update Fiat is doing 22.4 22.5 on the mediums

40. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull15:18:26

    Max VERSTAPPEN: It's still the same, I try all

    Engineer: the things, but the corner is the same problem. Display 11, display 11, position 5, that's a more stable push toggle for that sector.

41. Pierre GASLYRed Bull15:19:25

    Engineer: Just do your thing. Two more laps, two more laps. Ricciardo on fresh C2 tyres.

42. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull15:20:20

    Max VERSTAPPEN: Struggling a lot on entry to mid-corner.

    Engineer: Understood, just track it with the overrun if you can.

43. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo15:22:53

    Engineer: OK, give me box, box. OK, we will not do the change in the pit stop. It takes too long, so stop on the marks. We will pull you in the garage and change the brake. Pulling. And we need the brake. We will just put the car back in the garage and we believe we have some debris on the brake duct, so we need to investigate. If

    Kimi RAIKKONEN: we go out with the SM?

    Engineer: We will go out on medium the next set, if

    Kimi RAIKKONEN: that's OK. Yeah, but we need to add on this, we would have needed one.

    Engineer: On this set you mean, if we are going out again?

    Kimi RAIKKONEN: Yeah, just to help the high speed a bit.

44. Daniel RICCIARDORenault15:24:02

    Engineer: Okay, so pace update, so Kviat is doing about 22.7, Magnussen 22.8 on the mediums.

45. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes15:25:29

    Engineer: Struggling.

    Lewis HAMILTON: Yeah, something feels wrong.

    Engineer: Yeah, looks like we're having poor torque following on overrun, so if we go HPP 3 to 1.

46. Nico HULKENBERGRenault15:26:06

    Engineer: We're just going to go into a fast, slow, fast sequence, Nico. So the next lap will be Scenario 8, please. Scenario 8.

47. Romain GROSJEANHaas15:30:53

    Engineer: We can go back to mode push now, back to mode push.

48. Lando NORRISMcLaren15:31:16

    Engineer: And that is the chequered flag, so we are boxers lap, you can push on the in-lap if you like.

49. Nico HULKENBERGRenault15:33:18

    Engineer: I

    Nico HULKENBERG: feel on the hard that the rear is quite poor, especially into the low speed. The stability is very poor, a lot of really big slides into the low speed.
