70th Anniversary Grand Prix2020 · Race team radio

Carlos SAINZYeah, bring another helmet, this one has some painting on my visor and I cannot see.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerAnd feed limiter on. Feed limiter on.

EngineerOK, Esteban, do you need a front wing adjustment?

Esteban OCONNo, no, no.

EngineerCopy. Boxing, Esteban, copy.

EngineerWind is not as strong.

EngineerOkay, how's the front wing?

Alexander ALBONIt's okay. It feels a little bit shy But I'll just do another lap. Let's

Engineersee.

Alexander ALBONYeah, understood. Okay,

Engineerso the wind strength is down strongest tailwind now is Turn six into turn seven. So apex of six into exit six You've got 10-15 k's tailwind there

EngineerOkay Lando, how is the car balance? How is the car balance? Yes, okay, it's fine Understood. Okay Lando, drive through the pit lane, drive through the pit lane again

Lando NORRISYeah, confirmed

EngineerUnderstood Okay Lando, let's just drive through, nice And it's a racing point, Hulk and I think right behind you Okay mate, charge button on, charge button on and cool the car as much as possible please, cool the car as much as you can

EngineerOkay Alex, so we'll drive straight through again. We're just looking at Turn 9. Obviously you know what we've done with the Mode 10 there. We're thinking try in Mode 6 to give you a bit more K before Turn 9. I'll let you think about that. So if you go to Mode 6 please and straight out. Mode 6, just be aware you will get to Turn 9 quicker. It looks like there's a bit of a headwind there so it might help.

EngineerGoing to the back of the grid and you downshift to first the neutral and switch off P2 with the foot off the brakes Stay in the car while the crew moves to grid slot and practice the start lights

EngineerAnd Carlos, wind looking very similar to P3 high fuel, so turn 7, that's a 15k tailwind at least, up to 20k gusts.

EngineerAnd Carlos, deployment looks okay. You just pressed overtake on the first lap so the patches are covering.

EngineerAre you happy with front wing?

Daniel RICCIARDOYep, all is ok.

EngineerCool.

EngineerAnd suggest trying high speed 8. High speed 8 for turn 6.

Daniel RICCIARDOOK.

EngineerWind is similar to yesterday, both direction and intensity.

Nico HULKENBERGGood length, going through

EngineerCopy that Nico, going through

Nico HULKENBERGWhat is it again? Strat 10 from turn 10?

EngineerIt's Strat 1 out of turn 9 Strat 1 out of turn 9, I'll tell you

EngineerCar felt a bit

George RUSSELLon the nose

EngineerIt's

George RUSSELLdifficult to say with these tires and the wind and the final lap had a lot of push mid to exit 13

EngineerThen

George RUSSELLwe can leave it where we are and I just adjust tools if needed

Nicholas LATIFIYeah, well okay. Can you just check just on the pit limiter just now, it seems like I'm hearing a bit more like a bit the turbo sound, like a weird air sound that I don't normally hear, just when I went to full throttle on the limiter. Okay, we are up here with that, no issue, we are up here with that, see you on the grid. Copy, see you there, radio check, turn 5. Yep, loading clear.

EngineerSo

Lewis HAMILTONtrack down?

EngineerLast reading was 41 degrees, so that is down 1 degree from last weekend.

Lewis HAMILTONSo we're still two poles different

EngineerYeah, a firm now about Three's comments. He said there's a little bit of understeer, but he's happy to keep the flap Pertier's generally happy with the balance

EngineerJust be mindful of the brakes information lap. Try to do more at the beginning. What you did last week was good.

Max VERSTAPPENI think I'm already quite wearised, right? So it should be okay.

Max VERSTAPPENI think my drink tube is blocked.

EngineerOkay Carlos, tyre information. Ahead of you Vettel is on a used hard, Grosjean is on a used medium, then the new medium starters are Ocon, Russell, Magnussen, Latifi and Giovinazzi. So behind you the only other hard starters are Kvyat and Raikkonen. And correction, Raikkonen is on a used hard as well.

EngineerSo as last week, when you're fired up, we'll put you on the ground, it'll be one static bite point. Watch for a gentry signal for that, and then we'll roll you back a little bit, okay?

Max VERSTAPPENI think my drink tube is blocked, my hydration level won't be very high in the race

Sebastian VETTELOkay, the idle got stuck there for a second.

EngineerSo

Sebastian VETTELjust so you know. Okay, thanks. Because I did it manually.

George RUSSELLLooks like Grosjean's rear left is on fire, no need to respond

EngineerAnd HPP 3, position 2, when you can. 3, position 2.

EngineerCaptain Autry one second, the Staten 1.5 behind.

Romain GROSJEANOkay, can you push me off track? Yeah,

Engineeryeah, you can push me off track here.

EngineerGap up to 1.5, 1.5, so let's start managing that left hand side max.

EngineerOkay, input DRS now active.

EngineerWe need to watch out for surface temps in turn 13 on the front left.

EngineerMagnussen two seconds behind he's got his hands full with Fiat right behind him Fiat's probably gonna pass him I think

EngineerSo Gap opening nicely behind Hülkenberg at 2.6. Gap starting to stabilize ahead as well.

Kimi RAIKKONENI don't know what happened in exit entry, I felt like I had a puncture.

EngineerYeah, yeah, we are on it at the moment, all OK.

Kimi RAIKKONENYeah, it feels not OK, but really weird.

Lando NORRISLando, how are the tyres? How's the pace? Pace 3, just a bit stuck, that's

Engineerall.

EngineerOk, we need a bit more management in turn 9. Norris behind is on phase 3. Norris behind is struggling with tyres. We need a bit more turn 9 please.

EngineerSo front left critical also rear left

EngineerDoing a great job but keep this up

EngineerDriver default one driver default one

EngineerThat last lap was the same as Bottas, four tenths faster than Hamilton.

Max VERSTAPPENWell, it seems like now they are starting to herd the front left.

EngineerYep, get to Hamilton stable this lap.

EngineerSuggest brake map 4 and brake balance 0.5% rearwards to help front locking. Looking good at the moment, Esteban.

EngineerOkay overtake is available be very close at exit overtake is available

Charles LECLERCFuck, we are so quick hit the fast corners.

EngineerSo Lando, gap to Magnussen is 12.1. He did a 34.4 last time.

EngineerSo Nicol, we are still plan A and target lap. We're on target.

EngineerDoing a great job so far, keep it up.

EngineerAnd gap to Valkyrie 1.4, Verstappen 1.3

EngineerMax, I think we're a little bit close for tyres at this stage, I think just pull back.

Max VERSTAPPENMate, this is the only chance I'm being close to the Mercedes, I'm not just sitting behind like a grandma.

Valtteri BOTTASsome vibration from the

Engineerrail lift.

EngineerNow it's Gasly behind, 2.2 behind, pace is good, signs on hard 33.2.

EngineerAlright,

Lewis HAMILTONRazor finished.

EngineerHamilton complaining of rear lift.

Esteban OCONOk, keep at this pushing now

EngineerCopy

EngineerI

Nico HULKENBERGthink stick to the target, stick to the default.

EngineerCopy that, understood.

Kimi RAIKKONENI have a blister on the rear left

EngineerCopy that, this is the rear left Ok Kimi, I understand, from our side it's ok to continue?

Kimi RAIKKONENYeah but the rear is quite poor, you know Let's not waste too much time with this, I have a blister

EngineerCopy

Engineermight be close with Ricciardo at exit he should be ahead

EngineerAnd when you're happy, yellow G8, yellow G8.

EngineerCarlos, Sector 2 was good. You're matching guys who've already pitted. This is going okay. It's good.

Carlos SAINZYeah, I don't know how because my tires are quite bad.

Charles LECLERCTheir engine is cutting massively in turn 1 strategy.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, tyre's still okay, just managing the left one a little.

EngineerUnderstood, we're happy with the tyre appearance as well, excellent job.

Carlos SAINZYeah, make blister rear left, not more than one or two laps.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerA bit more scope on the infantry for balance, Lewis 3.4 his tyres are still cooler

Nicholas LATIFIrear left of Magnuson looks like it's getting hurt

Engineergap to Gasly is 18.5 Carlos gap to Gasly 18.5 Stroll is two seconds behind Hülkenberg so if we're gonna start getting overtaken we might have to pit

EngineerVerstappen is the real threat here if he's one-stopping.

EngineerBottas last lap at 31.9 Hamilton a 32.1 both showing blisters front right tires

EngineerBreichenen last lap 33.7, you need two seconds to clear him.

Max VERSTAPPENThat's so good mate, it's

Engineerso

Max VERSTAPPENgood!

EngineerLando, how much do you think this balance is costing us in pace?

Lando NORRISI don't know, I was just playing with everything. Rear's up front, I don't know what's going on.

EngineerOkay Lando, understood. Still doing a great job. We're in net P8 at the moment. Net P8. The tyres have been difficult for everyone out there at the moment.

EngineerBottas last lap at 32.0, Hamilton 32.2.

EngineerCarlos, wheels are all tight. We're happy the wheels are tight. Aerodynamics looks okay.

Carlos SAINZOkay, okay.

Lewis HAMILTONGot a band in the middle of my tire

Daniel RICCIARDOOK, Lear took a bit of a hit that lap, left rear.

EngineerOK, understood, behind 2, Leclerc on hard, he's pushing quite hard, he's doing 31.6 at the moment.

EngineerWe are plan A, we are plan A, we cannot do plan C, we are plan A.

Charles LECLERCI was pretty sure I could make plan C work, but if you are sure, I will push.

EngineerYes we are, yes we are, you are doing a good job.

Lewis HAMILTONHe must have less pressure on his tires or something.

EngineerSo pick up the pace we have Leclerc in our window

Sebastian VETTELAnd the gap that we didn't like, we spoke about it this morning. I'll hang in there, but you know that you've messed up.

EngineerAnd now we are in front of Ricciardo behind we need to close the gap to stroll in front

EngineerSo we are zero with Leclerc, push hard

EngineerAnd the car behind Vyat is Daniel on his third set of tyres.

Engineerand HPP shift position six shift position six

EngineerYeah, forget the tyre management and as fast as you can within the limits of the tyre, obviously.

Max VERSTAPPENSo basically we're just going to fully send it.

EngineerEngine 14. Engine 1-4. Position 6.

EngineerAnd racing Albon behind them, just pitted.

EngineerAnd racing Albon behind him, just pitted.

EngineerAnd we'll go to engine two, position five, when you can, please. Engine two, position five, when you can.

EngineerThat's good stuff, Max. Keep pushing.

Lewis HAMILTONThere's something wrong with the car to make the left rear do that.

Engineerokay so this is us to the end now max that's 20 laps to the end your first thing was 27 laps but important to control the peaks on the left hand side peaks left hand side

Lewis HAMILTONOn the last set of tyres, is the rear okay to keep going?

EngineerSo there's still rubber remaining, apart from the blistered section.

EngineerOkay Alex, so we've had two excursions turn 15, we get no more exceptions, so watch yourself turn 15 exit please.

EngineerSo plenty of rubber remaining on the previous set this stint will be one lap longer. We are just worried about blistering

EngineerThe

Lewis HAMILTONtyre's not going to blow though, right?

EngineerWe think it's safe, it's just the blistering that's costing the pace.

EngineerSo plenty of rubber remaining on the previous set, this stint will be one lap longer, we are just worried about blistering.

Valtteri BOTTASAnd what was the limiting tyre, the rear left blistering or?

EngineerAfer, so 60% remaining front, 80% remaining rear.

EngineerAnd multifunction position strut when you can position strut when you can

EngineerBasically Max, we've got the pace if we need to react, so we just need to ensure we've got the tyres when we need it.

EngineerOkay Alex, so race update, next cars ahead is Stroll and Hülkenberg, they are 17 seconds ahead of you.

EngineerThe Racing Points tyres are the same age as yours, but you are 8 tenths quicker than them.

Engineerand we need more tire saving target lap time 31.6

EngineerHead down now, let's get them in the rhythm

EngineerOK, let's try to close the gap to Hamilton now, Max, please, start pushing, reduce the gap to Lewis, just covering the small chance that he tries to go to the end.

Nicholas LATIFIDid George have a problem there? He was very slow 13

Engineerlaps to go 13

EngineerGap to Ocon, 1.8, gap to Kvyat behind, 6.8, he's on a medium.

EngineerIs

Lewis HAMILTONeverything okay?

EngineerAffirm.

Nico HULKENBERGThis set is much

Engineerworse than the previous set.

Charles LECLERCGap to Hulkenberg.

EngineerGap to Hulkenberg, I will come back. I

Charles LECLERCcan't hear you.

EngineerGap to Hulkenberg behind, 16.5.

Lewis HAMILTONCan I have

Engineera

Lewis HAMILTONdifferent shirt or not?

EngineerYou have a Strat 7 available.

EngineerOkay, Kevin spark three spark three box now box now going to retire the car. We need to retire the car box now

EngineerOkay, cross-car compare. The only time deficits are in high speed, so turn 1, 9 and 13. So less management from Alex. 1, 9, 13.

EngineerStroll is slow turn 13. You are very strong turn 13 compared to him. Have a think about that.

EngineerEngine 7, position 8. Engine 7, position 8, when you can.

Charles LECLERCJust tell me the gap please and try to be very clear. Just talk to me in turn 1 and 2. Talk to me in turn 1 and 2. When I'm flat out, I can't hear you. Sorry, talk to me in turn 3 and 4. I should know the corner numbers by then.

EngineerYou're free to raise just give each other space

EngineerOK, five laps remaining. Gap to Bottas, seven seconds. Hamilton is two seconds behind him.

EngineerSafety car window is closed. Fuel management is good.

EngineerYou are free to race, we just need to keep it clean.

EngineerThis is DRS.

EngineerOK Lando, after turn 15, Sonaro 7, Sonaro 7, let's go get him. I can't, I've got no grip,

Lando NORRISlistening point.

EngineerUnderstood, Lando. Just stay as close as you can in case he has problems.

Lando NORRISYeah, OK.

EngineerOkay Norris pushing to keep up with you now to catch up

Max VERSTAPPENGP, did you hydrate during the race? You must have some sweaty hands as well, so don't forget the sanitize.

EngineerDon't take any risk. The rear left

Valtteri BOTTASis vibrating a lot.

EngineerOK, so Leclerc's pace isn't too bad, it's only 4 seconds off, so keep doing your liftoffs, gap ahead 9 seconds, at this pace you won't catch him.

EngineerHere you go, mate. You delivered. Nice job. Just quicker today.

Max VERSTAPPENOh, guys, what an amazing race. Thank you so much. Also, everyone, back at the factory, this is what you get when you keep pushing. What a great day. Also, thank you to Honda. I think we did everything perfect today. So, yeah, we're definitely going to celebrate this one.

EngineerUnbelievable race. Unbelievable. That was fully sanitized. That was amazing. An amazing, amazing performance. Well done.

Lewis HAMILTONGreat effort guys. It wasn't our day, but yeah, let's have a look into that.

EngineerBut

Lewis HAMILTONgrateful for the points.

EngineerB4, B4, slow button. Yes!

Charles LECLERCYes!

EngineerPlan

Charles LECLERCC, baby! Oh, yes! I'm so happy. So happy.

EngineerOK, so that's it, nice job, we ended up P5. Blistering pace at the end there mate, that was amazing pace. Slow in lap please, save fuel on the way in, save fuel.

Alexander ALBONThank you guys, thank you everyone. I just got a bit stuck at the start, but yeah, thank you.

EngineerYeah I understood, we all saw that and felt that pain, but when you got in free air you were so quick, that was ace.

EngineerOkay Carlos, that's the chequered flag. Let's have scenario one. Scenario one, you drove well mate, tough afternoon, finished P13 but I think you drove well today. Make sure you use the drinks on the in-lap please. And Carlos, look after the fuel on the in-lap as much as you can. I think that's pretty much normal driving for an in-lap. Carlos, finishing order was Verstappen, Hamilton, Bottas, Leclerc, Albon, Stroll, Hülkenberg, Ocon, Lando and Kvyat.

Nicholas LATIFIcopy guys you have to I mean the pace was there the car was feeling great I feel like I was led by we could have had a completely different race to be honest the car was feeling great

EngineerOK, checkered flag P18. That

George RUSSELLwas incredibly hard. That rear left tyre just went from nowhere.

EngineerOkay, dude, that's the checker. That's the checker. Excellent management from you today. Really, really good to make those tyres work. Lots of other people couldn't do that. That's really good, mate. Solid drive.

Romain GROSJEANThank you, Dom-Dom. Just want to say a very good job with one this weekend. Obviously, the race didn't go to plan, but you did, Dom-Dom, really, that was the best weekend ever. Good, good step forward. Was in the car. At the end, mate, our last few laps, I don't know, it felt amazing, but it didn't come to us before.

Lando NORRISYeah, good job, I mean You could see I was just struggling so much with the tyre management today, so I don't know Didn't have the pace to push, didn't have the pace to try and get him in the end, so Need to try and improve that for next time, but good job, still some points

EngineerExactly, still some points and we'll improve next time round, well done

Lando NORRISMy lights aren't working

EngineerI

Lando NORRISdon't think Maybe they are, I don't know

EngineerAntonio P17 at the end, both Williams behind, Kimi P15, first up in one, then Hamilton and Bottas, top three.

Antonio GIOVINAZZICopy. So in the end, the one stop was better.

Kimi RAIKKONENYeah, but I'm sure it's something gonna break it. Don't worry you will fall out. You will take the check out Yeah, I know Just slow down on this race. I've seen take the grip is really good, but it's just this vibration Just getting worse and worse

EngineerListen, well done. I know p15 is not very exciting, but I think very well managed race. Give me so one stop only Leclerc tried his p4 and Ocon so very well managed on your side. Thank you

EngineerOK, so that's the checkered flag. Scenario 12 please, Scenario 12.

Daniel RICCIARDOYep, sorry guys, yep, sorry, it's

Engineera

Daniel RICCIARDOpretty sh** day.

EngineerNext week,

Daniel RICCIARDOgot

Engineerthat mate, so let's review and bounce back from this next week.

EngineerCheckered flag. Checkered flag. I

Lance STROLLwas just losing the rear really bad at the end of that.

EngineerCopy that. We had left rear blisters. Left rear blisters.

EngineerShame about that second prime tyre, I don't know if we pushed too hard initially or what, but that just didn't work at all. Yeah, copy Nico, I think we've got a few ideas, we'll go through it. Nevertheless, good job team, thanks very much, that was quite fun. Yeah, well done mate, that was good.

EngineerExcellent, well done mate, superb job, very very well done. Scenario 12, save fuel as much as you can on the inlet please. That was a well earned P8 Esteban, very very good. That was very impressive guys, very well managed on tyre side, pit stop, everything, so very very happy, good job, good job, that one was very enjoyable, thank you. Good job from you Esteban, thanks a lot, quite recovery from yesterday, thank you. Merci Cyril, merci.

Pierre GASLYWhat the f***, Petraeus?

EngineerFor f***'s sake. Yes, I understand.

Esteban OCONCopy, yeah, we couldn't keep up with Albon, it was a good decision to let him go I think. Yeah, absolutely mate.

EngineerBut overall, very well managed on your side, so well done, OK.

Esteban OCONOn yours too, thanks Mark. What happened to Daniel?

EngineerHe was pushed into a spin by one of the McLarens, not sure which one. Yeah, so just behind that. That damaged his tyres I believe, which meant that he had to stop again, so he actually ran three stops, four sets of tyres, but his second set I believe he pushed a little bit too hard, or had some problems with.

Esteban OCONAh, OK.

EngineerIt was right on the edge wasn't it mate, but you walked the tightrope, so that was great.

Esteban OCONYeah it was, it was. Not too fun to know which one to fight with.

EngineerYeah, understood. Anyway, all good, so when you come in...

EngineerAnd check the flag, P10, P10, Dani, congrats, good race. Baila, baila, boogie, boogie, good one, mate. And slow down, slow down.
