Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2020: Practice 3 team radio

Every message, in the order it happened

1. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas10:17:16

   Engineer: Radio check, Kevin.

   Kevin MAGNUSSEN: Radio is good.

   Engineer: Yep, loud and clear.

2. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo10:19:37

   Engineer: Ok Kimi, so radio check pit exit, ok so you will have nobody on pit exit

3. Lando NORRISMcLaren10:21:17

   Audio only, no transcript available for this message.

4. George RUSSELLWilliams10:21:20

   George RUSSELL: Once again, very good bite, turn 5, and no pulling.

5. Lando NORRISMcLaren10:22:11

   Lando NORRIS: Did you just open up the radio again? Yeah, I know you said 5.5, but before that I just said pit lane speed limiter. Oh, I didn't hear anything.

   Engineer: Okay

6. Alexander ALBONRed Bull10:22:55

   Engineer: OK, so your temperatures look good, just think about a little bit of front brake going.

7. Esteban OCONRenault10:24:29

   Engineer: Brake balance to plus 4. Remember to use the brakes firmly.

8. Alexander ALBONRed Bull10:26:08

   Engineer: OK, go ahead.

   Alexander ALBON: Just a lot of understeer at very, very low speed, mid-corner turn 7, through turn 16, through turn 17, also apex on turn 11.

   Engineer: Understood, so we can use the push toggle to help that, push toggle can help that for turn 11 in particular.

9. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes10:28:19

   Engineer: And that last lap was a very marginal with track limits turned 21.

10. George RUSSELLWilliams10:29:29

    George RUSSELL: Turn 18 I have a lot of understeer turn 19 is pretty oversteery

11. Daniel RICCIARDORenault10:30:34

    Engineer: I'll start the next lap, but if it's no good I'll abort. Further time to gain is turn 18, minimum speed and exit of the final corner. Still clear from traffic behind.

12. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri10:31:59

    Engineer: Ok, compared to Ricciardo, we are highest sector 1 and we only lose turn 11, 12, 13. What's the main limitation there?

    Pierre GASLY: Real stability, we've lost some real stability turn 11 and also turn 17, 18 and last corner.

    Engineer: Ok, we are checking. Giovinazzi on push lap is 7 behind, he will catch you after the chicane, don't drop too much. Watch your mirrors for Ricciardo as well.

13. Carlos SAINZMcLaren10:33:16

    Carlos SAINZ: yeah we're okay we're okay if

    Engineer: the next lap if the tires are finished to just to abort the next lap and box but happy to happy to complete it if it's a good learning

14. Daniil KVYATAlphaTauri10:34:15

    Engineer: Turn 14 was better this lap, then tyre is gone, I suppose.

    Daniil KVYAT: Yeah, the balance is a lot more neutral with the rear end. Like turn 6, quite big snaps, turn 7, big snaps. And yeah, I lifted for yellow flag also.

    Engineer: This is in-lap Danny, this is in-lap.

15. Lance STROLLRacing Point10:35:47

    Lance STROLL: Are we boxing?

    Engineer: No, we're going to go for another cool. I think we can do it in one cool low this time Lance. They're not as hot so let's cool a big cool now. We should be good for traffic.

16. Carlos SAINZMcLaren10:36:19

    Carlos SAINZ: got a spinning launch

    Engineer: map on launch map on second gear launch from the box can't wait for the light before you go carry will give you the light

17. Sergio PEREZRacing Point10:36:49

    Engineer: Check I just have some full throttle down the straight for charging

18. Carlos SAINZMcLaren10:37:16

    Carlos SAINZ: Can I push the sector just to fill up in the car?

    Engineer: Yeah, no problem.

19. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri10:39:09

    Pierre GASLY: Ok, can you check the engine braking turn 7 and turn 8 please? Ok we check now Feels like I'm just drifting We've lost stability, end of brake Hold the low speed Turn 11, 17, 18 Turn 7

    Engineer: Yeah copy that, I think with those conditions we can afford not to go too high on the flaps It should be ok when we get to toilet Probably we have the two additional flaps for the solution

20. Charles LECLERCFerrari10:42:36

    Engineer: and we have tail we need to turn in 11

21. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes10:44:51

    Engineer: and losses half a tenth in seven half a tenth eight nine half a tenth 11 to 13 and a bit on the straights

22. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes10:45:17

    Lewis HAMILTON: Where is that loss?

    Engineer: To Verstappen mainly straight line

23. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes10:45:48

    Engineer: So let us know what you need on front wing. I'll go

    Lewis HAMILTON: plus one please. Copy, plus one. Plus one and a half.

    Engineer: Roger, plus one and a half.

    Lewis HAMILTON: Just plus one.

    Engineer: Copy.

24. Charles LECLERCFerrari10:47:14

    Charles LECLERC: I could hear you John, so yeah, copy the message. I don't know why I could hear you though.

    Engineer: Just the wrong button?

    Charles LECLERC: No problems.

25. Lando NORRISMcLaren10:48:18

    Engineer: And Verstappen bailed as well, so Vettel now the car behind, time-lapse 17.

    Lando NORRIS: Has the wind changed at all or not?

    Engineer: Looks like a little bit less tailwind to turn 1 this time.

26. Charles LECLERCFerrari10:49:51

    Charles LECLERC: Yeah, last sector, as you're on the limit with the tyres, as soon as there is

    Engineer: a

    Charles LECLERC: car, even if it's a second in front, it's impossible to do the last sector right.

27. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull10:51:12

    Max VERSTAPPEN: I don't know if it happened there, but the brakes were not the same.

28. Lance STROLLRacing Point10:51:19

    Engineer: So it will be go one, go one. Tires are good now, go one.

29. Alexander ALBONRed Bull10:53:23

    Alexander ALBON: Are we sure we're okay? Because the understudy is insane.

30. Alexander ALBONRed Bull10:54:47

    Engineer: Can you tell me where on track is the worst place?

    Alexander ALBON: It's every corner now, it's not a bad place

31. Alexander ALBONRed Bull10:55:21

    Engineer: The tyre temperatures are still not too bad, the rears are a little bit warm but they'll come down during this lap.

32. Daniel RICCIARDORenault10:55:47

    Daniel RICCIARDO: OK, yep, it can be better, I'm happy to box.

    Engineer: OK, understood, reminder, maybe try brake 4 for turn 8.

33. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri10:57:07

    Engineer: Ok Pierre, we should have time for one more push if you want If we can charge the factory

    Pierre GASLY: Areas are gone, I can't deal with it for now

    Engineer: Ok

34. Esteban OCONRenault10:59:19

    Engineer: Okay Esteban, recharge on please. Brake balance plus four. So this is a cool down lap, this is a cool down lap.

35. Daniel RICCIARDORenault10:59:56

    Engineer: Can you try to bring up the rear carcass temperature a bit please?

36. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri11:00:19

    Pierre GASLY: Struggling a lot with the rear. Yeah, copy that, we will fix it for the next session, don't worry.

    Engineer: The other car removed the aero balance and it looked a bit better.

    Pierre GASLY: Fail, 10, fail. Yeah, but it's not so much in high speed, more in the low speed, so... Yeah, but it's not so much in high speed, more in the low speed, so... Yeah, copy that. It's something else.

    Engineer: We will fix it, don't worry.

37. Daniil KVYATAlphaTauri11:00:28

    Engineer: So we didn't take the flag so this is a cool down and then we have one more lap to stop to the grid

38. Alexander ALBONRed Bull11:02:40

    Engineer: Potter off, please. Potter off.

39. George RUSSELLWilliams11:04:01

    George RUSSELL: Alrighty, the brakes feel poor.

40. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri11:05:14

    Pierre GASLY: Please check again the EB, that guy is giving me too much.
