Abu Dhabi Grand Prix2020 · Race team radio

EngineerOkay Kimi, that's 1 minute 20, 1 minute 20 for the green.

Sergio PEREZI love you Mikey, you are the best number one.

Lando NORRISBit of relocking and we'll stop, 10-17, 10-11.

EngineerCopy that, we will take a look.

EngineerIs it call for car turn 19? Push, push till 19 then call in from 19, yep.

Engineerokay mode 12 round to the grid please mode 12 round to the grid okay so when we get around there we want to do a rev check please rev check and leave the engine running rev check and then leave the engine running please

EngineerPietro let's use the in button the in button and confirm this is you're going to grid now so in button stay negative on the Delta time and drive to the back of the grid where the guys will meet you when you get to the back of the grid one static bike point learn.

Pietro FITTIPALDICopy, approaching last corner

Pietro FITTIPALDIYeah, bounce got a little bit better there just the first two laps was understand of it copy

Engineerthat

EngineerRadio check Kevin.

Kevin MAGNUSSENRadio's good.

EngineerYep, loud and clear. I hope I left a little present for you at the garage. Yes, got some lines to clean up now. Nice work.

George RUSSELLThe pedal feels really long, as if we've got BBW passive.

EngineerYeah, it's all fine.

George RUSSELLI'll take your word for it.

EngineerJust

Lewis HAMILTONremind me quarterly to have a drink, please.

EngineerSo just another bloke to talk to about, it's going to be quite a long race, it's going to be a decent amount of deg, so let's just think about that.

Engineerfor doing the formation lap make sure you work these tires as much as you can try to keep temperature in them sector one and two and then sector three can probably get a bit more in it

EngineerSo it's Vettel, Perez and Magnussen on hard, everyone else medium except the top 10 obviously.

Daniel RICCIARDOAlright buddy, whatever happens today, thank you for everything, we've got one more dance, final dance.

EngineerYep,

Daniel RICCIARDOthank you boys, 55 laps, everything we got.

EngineerOkay, Kev, have fun buddy. We love you.

Kevin MAGNUSSENLove you too, guys.

EngineerOkay, Kev, have fun buddy. We love you.

Kevin MAGNUSSENLove you too, guys.

EngineerClick up and take a valuable

EngineerOK Max, mode 7, mode 7, and reset bias offset.

EngineerSo gap ahead 1.5, gap behind 1.1. We'll look after the front for a couple of laps.

EngineerOkay Esteban, so just looking after the tyres now, Gasly behind on soft, Daniel's managed to hang on to his place on hard, and he's got Vettel on hard right behind you, Gasly gaining, watch for Gasly.

EngineerGood job Pierre, good job, watch your battery now

EngineerAnd go race mode 6, go race mode 6, come on mate, push on Fittipaldi Stay with Pérez, stay with Pérez mate Car is all over the place, are

Nicholas LATIFIthe brakes under control?

EngineerHappy with the front brakes, focus on your driving mate, keep pushing, Jairus in the bold

Carlos SAINZKvyat DRS or not quickly?

EngineerKvyat, no DRS.

Carlos SAINZI have very little grip compared to them right now.

EngineerCopy. Kvyat still outside DRS. Carlos, soft looks good on a couple of other cars as well. Be patient with the medium. Just be patient, it'll come to you.

EngineerNow your battery is full, so just think about where you're using the energy, remember holding early. Yeah but we should be using it more, we should be using it more.

EngineerDo you have any place in hand, Esteban? Do you have place in hand?

Esteban OCONI do.

EngineerAnd what's your status?

Daniel RICCIARDOYep, yeah so far I'm okay, I feel like I got a bit more pace.

EngineerCopy that.

Carlos SAINZYeah, my front right is on the limit of graining. Not yet, but on the limit.

EngineerCopy. Keep managing the push on exits. Keep managing the push on exits where you can straighten the exits. Still early to say on the soft. First signs of graining on some cars.

EngineerGood who pace wise you're matching Kevin and Latifi's not closing you down from behind still one and a half seconds back to Latifi How is the balance? A

Pietro FITTIPALDIbit on this domain and then traction a little bit problem

EngineerAnd now show us your pushing level and let's start to close that gap

EngineerAnd brake valance minus one, suggestion?

Charles LECLERCNo, stop, it's not right.

EngineerOK, Span, need to watch Vettel behind you with DRS, but also rear slips, exit at 14 and high rear temperature through turn 3.

Esteban OCONOK, I need to push, I'm sorry, but I can't manage more. Catch

Engineerup to Daniel.

Esteban OCONBut the grip is very poor at the moment.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerAlpha Tauri started to struggle on their softs.

Sergio PEREZI lost the f***ing engine again Oh, I'm off

EngineerAnd we're box-box. That's

Lewis HAMILTONgoing to be a long way on that tyre, man.

EngineerYeah, copy loose, but we still go for it.

EngineerAlpha Tauri started to struggle on their softs.

EngineerCarlos, virtual safety car, virtual safety car, recharge on, delta positive, virtual safety car driving, how is the tyre?

Carlos SAINZAh, graining in both, front left and front right.

Lewis HAMILTONThat doesn't feel like a good strategy

EngineerOK Kimi, your tyres have stabilised, all OK on brake and fuel Yeah,

Kimi RAIKKONENmy left front is f***ing suffering Copy, left front I don't know why, it's just, yeah,

EngineerI

Kimi RAIKKONENjust have too much energy

EngineerOK, copy

Daniil KVYATDo I still have to follow this reference?

EngineerYes, until Safety Car Line 1. And engine braking 9, engine braking 9.

EngineerPerez car is still there.

Sebastian VETTELCopy. We

Engineerare staying out, keep working on your tyres.

EngineerSuggest Diff Entry 9, Diff Mid 4

Esteban OCONDoes this mean I can push now?

EngineerStand by One more lap, one more lap So Daniel is still managing his tyres in turns 2 and 3, suggest you do the same

EngineerCan you

Lewis HAMILTONgive me a bit of

Engineera,

Lewis HAMILTONtake me through where exactly I'm losing, because it feels like everywhere, the car's just not turning.

EngineerOK, copy, hopefully with that reset on balance, it should turn a bit better now.

Lewis HAMILTONYeah, definitely struggling with the balance.

EngineerYeah, copy that Lewis.

Lewis HAMILTONIs the floor OK?

EngineerI'll just have a look through it.

EngineerThis arrow looks good.

EngineerAnd Kimi, to go to the end we will need to look after this left front, turn 2 and 3.

EngineerSo reset your brake bias offset when you can.

EngineerOK Max, even that level of liftoff is on target now.

EngineerFiat has DRS. You have DRS.

EngineerOkay, we have Ocon behind us now, Ocon behind us.

EngineerSuggest diff mid 5 to keep stability. Good job with Giovinazzi, just watch out he's very close behind you.

Esteban OCONMach 1, I'm fighting, please don't talk.

EngineerCopy.

Nicholas LATIFII don't

Engineerknow

Nicholas LATIFIwhy, there's like no brakes on the brakes.

EngineerAll look good on our side, all look good.

EngineerYou're doing a great job. Well done.

EngineerAntonio, absolutely no saving, maximum push, no saving.

EngineerOkay, we have PU11 position 2, PU11 position 2, norris not in your DRS

EngineerWe probably have one or two laps to pass Magnussen, after we'll have to manage, we need to push hard now, push hard now.

EngineerIf we can get through Ricciardo, it makes our race easier.

Carlos SAINZHow is my level of pushing compared to Lando?

EngineerSo Carlos Lando last lap was 43.4 but all the time delta is on the straights All the time delta is on the straights

EngineerWe probably have one or two laps to pass Magnussen, after we'll have to manage, we need to push hard now, push hard now.

EngineerGood job, Kevin good laps make him work for it. Keep him working

EngineerAnd Carlos, any Lyco is for the tires, fuel is okay to the end, no need for fuel saving?

Carlos SAINZYeah, I'm trying to reduce the car gas peak with this Lyco.

Charles LECLERCLosing too much from the front right.

EngineerCopy, understood. Multifunction position BM when you can. Position BM when you can.

EngineerOK Max, mode 6, mode 6, and you can cancel liftoff please in turns 1 and 5.

Charles LECLERCWe are going to lose a lot more by steering out five laps.

EngineerThey're doing an awesome job there, four tenths quicker again this lap.

Lewis HAMILTONBout to be struggling

EngineerSo haven't heard anything from him, so no major complaints

EngineerHave a balance update as well, please, Max.

Max VERSTAPPENIt's not that bad. The start is a bit more robust, so it's a bit nicer.

EngineerCopy.

Alexander ALBONDo you not see how neutral we are in 21?

EngineerYeah, understood. We suggest a push toggle for the last sector. Push toggle for the last sector.

Alexander ALBONAre you sure? It's worse.

EngineerYeah, understood Args, we're looking. OK, so we suggest going up to mid 9, mid 9 to help you support.

Max VERSTAPPENWell, to be honest with you, I think for everyone, it will be quite difficult to get to the end.

EngineerOkay, copy.

Daniel RICCIARDOOK, you happy with this pace? Status? 9?

EngineerCopy that. So Norris picked up his pace in the first lap with a 43.0.

EngineerI

Lewis HAMILTONdon't think these tires are going all the way to the end.

EngineerOK, copy.

EngineerCarlos, lock-up turn 11 looks to come on the kerbs of the F2 pit lane. Suggest to either commit to not using those or be further over so you're past them.

Carlos SAINZYeah, understood. Copy. Feels like the car, same front, are pushing a lot. It's 30 laps to the end. I don't know how we're going to make it.

EngineerSo, Carlos, Ricciardo has to stop again. Ricciardo will stop again. Lando's keeping with him. Looks

Carlos SAINZlike they are pushing.

EngineerAnd cars in front are complaining about tyres, so they may need to stop again.

Charles LECLERCWhere is our front?

EngineerI'm happy with it for the moment, Bottas last lap 42.0, gap is at 5.6, Hamilton 2.6 behind him.

EngineerSilver stopping at 6.2 ahead, 41.3, and Lewis 42.0, gap 2.8.

EngineerHow's the balance? Yeah, no bad mate. Just controlling front and rear. Good then.

EngineerGap to next car in front 6.8 Russell

EngineerYou've been doing great laps, Kev. Just keep doing them. We'll keep the pressure on them ahead.

Daniel RICCIARDORed took a little hit, all can be posted.

EngineerUnderstood.

Max VERSTAPPENI'll just try to keep doing what I'm doing.

EngineerYeah, copy that.

EngineerI have absolutely

Charles LECLERCzero feedback on tires, so I guess it's ok.

EngineerIt's ok on tires?

EngineerAnd how are the tyres?

Daniel RICCIARDOYep, between phase two and three. I

Engineerfeel like they're getting close to the three, but hang on. OK, understood. Last lap, similar left hand, then Norris behind.

EngineerAnd remember to drink.

EngineerBox now Kevin box now

EngineerStroll 0.8 behind, with DRS. OK, I'll get eaten up.

Lance STROLLWe have no traction.

EngineerSo use diff lock as instructed.

Kimi RAIKKONENThe brake pedal is getting softer a little bit.

EngineerYeah, copy, we are monitoring it, we are monitoring it.

Daniel RICCIARDOYes, sir. This is status 10. Just so you know.

EngineerUnderstood.

EngineerLewis made a mistake at 12, now 3.8 behind.

Sebastian VETTELI'm slowing down now. Tires are going down.

EngineerCopy, stay out, stay out.

EngineerOK mate, last lap you were 9 tenths quicker than Gasly, awesome job, 2 tenths quicker than Norris behind. OK,

Daniel RICCIARDOthey were a couple of big laps, I'll try and keep it.

EngineerOkay Carlos so you matched Ricciardo last lap it looks like when he pits he'll clear Gasly and be the car behind. We're pretty comfortable with the tires status three and a half is good

EngineerOK Kimi, that's 2.5 from Leclerc, we suggest a bit more management, 2 and 3 please.

Kimi RAIKKONENOK, but you want that I fight against him, or we just look after the tyres, and stay ahead of William?

EngineerOk Kimi, our target is RUSSELL

George RUSSELLLeft Flicks for turn 2-3

EngineerThis base is really good mate, you're matching Ricciardo behind. He will be for Blues but you're matching him at the minute He's not closing you down. Good job

EngineerAny preference from your side on plan A or plan C? No

Daniel RICCIARDOpreference, probably A.

EngineerUnderstood.

EngineerAnd how's the froming?

Daniel RICCIARDOYep, it's okay.

EngineerIt's

Daniel RICCIARDObeen pretty well balanced.

EngineerOkay, understood.

Daniil KVYATBreak is long. Break is very long.

Daniil KVYATBack to normal now. There

Engineerwas a message BBW. It's so good. It's so good. Keep pushing keep pushing

EngineerPox, pox, pox.

EngineerOK, so tide temperatures are a little bit on the low side for this Compound Max, so just be wary on the brakes especially.

EngineerAnd Lewis again, we had track limits at turn 21

Lewis HAMILTONJust now! Definitely didn't go up now!

EngineerYeah, sorry Lewis, they delete two laps just for one instance of going over that kerb

EngineerI know it's tough getting close about everything you've got.

Esteban OCONStroll cut the track in front again an advantage.

EngineerCopy that Esteban, Stroll cutting I'm guessing you mean turn 8-9?

Esteban OCONYep.

EngineerYeah he was pink in sector that sector last lap.

EngineerLance, you need to lose two seconds on this lap, else we get a penalty. You need to lose two seconds on this lap, unless we get a penalty. Ocon is 3.4 behind, 3.5 behind.

Max VERSTAPPENDid you see that? Out of the corner, how much vibrations, how much oscillation?

EngineerYeah, we've seen that. Thank you, Max.

Charles LECLERCOh my god. It's impossible. Impossible.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerAnd go flat turn two and three for tires. That's okay. That's happened 2.4 behind

EngineerOK Lando, update for you, Ricciardo is 21.5 back, he currently is not pushing, so he's running out of time to catch you, he did a 43.2 the lap before, so he brought the tyres in and he's going to now begin to push, but there's plenty of time here. Yeah, confirm,

Lando NORRISOK, OK.

EngineerGood job, Kevin. It's crazy understeer, but you're doing really good Norris is five behind He'll be a blue and then signs ten behind so they'll be blues in a few laps

EngineerWe need you to push flat out to turn 2 and 3 for tyres. Push!

EngineerAnd Leclerc ahead might have damage to his front wing.

EngineerSuggest N37

Daniel RICCIARDOUnderstood, yeah, peak from front tyres is gone, re-enter OK

EngineerOK, understood

EngineerYou

Max VERSTAPPENcan turn the engine down if you want to.

EngineerNegative.

Daniel RICCIARDOAny of the hard guys struggling yet

Engineernegative lap times are still very stable for those guys

EngineerOkay, new C4s, seven laps to go. There will be some blues, but just try and enjoy it.

EngineerLando 42.5, Ricardo 41.9

EngineerThree laps to go. Let's give it all. Purple Rain, three laps.

Engineerthree laps remaining, stroke it home

EngineerThat last lap you took a second out Hamilton and there is some traffic ahead for him. Let's get on him.

Alexander ALBONWhere is Lewis slowing?

EngineerHe looks slow everywhere. Feedback is he looks slow everywhere.

EngineerAnd gap to Albon at 2.1, last lap was a 42.0.

EngineerYou have DRS you have DRS

EngineerThis is the last lap

Engineer11, Dani. Fail 84.

Daniil KVYATYeah, first hint decided everything. Too much understeer there, I was sitting duck.

EngineerAgreed.

EngineerWe've done it, Max. We've won the race. What a way to close the season. Really, really fantastic, mate. Yes! What a

Max VERSTAPPENgreat race. The pace was really good, guys. Congrats. After such a busy year, I think everyone was a bit tired at the end, but to win that last race, it's amazing. Thank you very much, guys.

EngineerMax, that was absolutely clinical. Start to finish, fastest lap as well. You've been fantastic. You've been fantastic all year, actually, but especially today. Well done. Enjoy it.

Max VERSTAPPENWe call that a simply lovely race.

EngineerCheckered flag, Kevin. Checkered flag. The guys are all there on the wall for you. The guys are all there on the wall for you. Checkered flag, Kevin. Thank you for four amazing years with us, with you in the car. We always have a chance on Sunday, Kevin. We'll miss you, buddy. Thank you. Yeah, thank you, guys. Tough race today, but I've enjoyed it. I've enjoyed the last four years. Thank you for your support. You're all legends. Wish you all the best in the future. I'm going to be rooting for you. Thanks, guys. Hi, Kevin. Thanks for the last four years. Great job. Sorry that this race we couldn't do any better, but please don't judge us on this one, you know? You know we're better than this. We just have a tool which doesn't work, and, I mean, you have to drive it out there. And I'm not jealous about that one, I tell you. It's difficult here. I can imagine the car. But thanks for the four great years you were with us. Thank you, brother. Thank you, my friend. Thank you. See you. Just have a little something I need to do for the guys back home. Understood. Understood. Absolutely beautiful. You're clear behind. Clear behind. It's part of the race for sure. Okay. Thank you, Kev. Love you, buddy. Remember P1, then P0. Love you back, bro.

EngineerAnd a big thank you for the hard work during all these years together, you brought us a lot, it has been a pleasure as well. A great driver, un grande uomo, con un grande cuore. Thank you.

Sebastian VETTELGrazie, grazie ragazzi, grazie, ho una sorpresa, aspetta, ciao sbattono, grazie a tutti, grazie a tutta la squadra, grazie, voi sapete che a volte mi piace cantare, allora ho pensato di una ultima volta un canzone per voi, aspetta, voi siete la squadra rossa, appassionati, arrederete mai, la mia fermata sta arrivando, mi è piaciuto stare con voi, sentito la vostra magia, un sensazione straordinaria, ragazzi. Sì, mi ringrazio per avermi, mi mancherete, un saluto a tutti voi a Maranello, meritate menzionato qui, e adesso io quasi quasi dirò addio e auguro, auguro il meglio, auguro di essere felice ma di più essere sano.

EngineerGrazie Seb, siamo noi a ringraziarti di cuore, grazie per tutto quello che hai fatto, non è stata la stagione che volevamo, ma non possiamo dimenticarsi di queste sei anni assieme, grazie di cuore da parte di tutti a Maranello e qui in pista.

Sebastian VETTELGrazie, grazie di cuore, grazie a voi, ai meccanici, a tutto il garage, uomini come Fabio,

EngineerFabio, Fabio, Fabio, Fabio, Fabio, Fabio, Fabio, Fabio, Fabio, Fabio, Fabio, Fabio, Fabio, Fabio,

Sebastian VETTELMimo, Manu, Giovanni,

EngineerMarchi,

Sebastian VETTELBariselli, tutti gli altri, scusami, Filippo, voi siete Ferrari, voi siete la squadra. Grazie. Thank you very much.

EngineerOkay Pietro, that's the checker, that's the checker. We had an engine air consumption issue on our car, that's why the first two stops were slow and we had to make that second stop. Really sorry for that man, without that second stop you'd have gone really well in that race. You've passed through Kevin which was brilliant to see and then your pace was better than him. It would have been really interesting if we'd managed to make plan A work, but I'm really sorry we had that engine issue. Good job, man.

Pietro FITTIPALDIThat's alright, thanks guys, it's part of the race. Yeah, thanks for the opportunity again. I'm really grateful to the whole team and to Gunther, Gene, thank you. And yeah, it was awesome, thank you.

EngineerPietro, thank you and you know, we didn't have a better tool for you, I'm sorry about that, but you've done a great job for the whole team and thanks for jumping in at short notice and just picking it up and keeping your nose clean, thank you.

Pietro FITTIPALDIThanks, Gunther.

EngineerOkay, Pietro, you're amazing. Mode slow, mode slow.

Pietro FITTIPALDIWhat was the pace there at the end? Thanks, Ernesto.

EngineerAt the end you were matching Kevin, he also boxed for same tyres and we were matching him, man. It was really good to see. Why couldn't we keep going at

Pietro FITTIPALDIthe end there? We can talk later.

EngineerYeah, we'll talk about it when we get back. I think with Kevin stopping, had we not stopped, he'd have very easily passed us back anyway, but we'll talk about it when we get back.

EngineerAnd check and flag, check and flag, blue 2 position 1 please, blue 2 position 1, cool down the car, pick up rubber, last check and flag of this year mate, so you should be go in please, go in, feedback on the race results, your P17, the two cars are behind us, Magnussen is 49 seconds behind us, in front of us, Giovinazzi add up 9 seconds only ahead, with Russell just in front of him, so you're 10 seconds behind George, and in front of him there was another 9 for Vettel, another 9 for Leclerc. Pick up a bit of speed for brake cooling in straight line please, a bit of speed for brake cooling in straight line.

Nicholas LATIFII know it was probably not the last race weekend we would have liked of the year, but I could just say just a massive thank you to everyone for all the hard work this year, I know it's been far from a normal year, quite difficult for everybody, so just appreciate you guys all always giving, 100% for me, very excited, very excited to see what we can do together in 2021, so

EngineerThank you Antonio, thank you very much

EngineerOK, checkered flag, P15, well managed at the end there.

George RUSSELLWell done guys, that was a pretty optimised race, and did a good job to hold those cars off, so well done, good way to end.

EngineerOK, MP13, positions Verstappen, Bottas, Hamilton, Albon, Norrish, Sainz, Ricciardo, Gasly, Stroll and Ocon, Piten.

Charles LECLERCYeah, copy. Thanks for this season, guys. Definitely not been an easy season. But yeah, we'll come back stronger next year. And thanks for Seb for everything he did for the team and good luck to him next year. But yeah, speaking about his race, I can only be disappointed. But yeah, next year will be better.

EngineerDefinitely, we'll do better and thanks for your feedback this year so we all get better and we will get better next year.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, that was really enjoyable.

EngineerBad news, Max. Daniel just got fastest lap.

Max VERSTAPPENAye, aye, aye. Well, I don't care. Raymond, mate. It's all good. Anyway, you've done a brilliant

Engineerjob. All good. Enjoy the podium up there. Well done. You will have pedals with you today, so give him plenty of champagne. He hasn't been up there since 2014.

Max VERSTAPPENOh, I bet he will enjoy that.

EngineerThanks a lot for this year, mate. Flawless.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, thank you, mate. I think it was, again, a very good year. Teams are working together, so very happy with that. Thank you.

EngineerYeah, enjoy.

EngineerAnd that's the flag, second in the race, second in the championship.

Valtteri BOTTASThanks everyone for the hard work this season.

EngineerThe

Valtteri BOTTASRed Bulls, they were too quick today.

EngineerWe're

Lance STROLLjust losing all temperature. It's unbelievable how we can't maintain temp.

EngineerCheck the flag, P10 Lance, P10.

Lance STROLLIt's unbelievable how bad we are at maintaining temperature. It's like as soon as we're in some kind of traffic or the end of race,

Engineerit

Lance STROLLjust drops off completely.

EngineerCopy that, understood Lance. We'll discuss it. ACS off, ACS off. Pick up on the tires, maximum pick up on the tires. We'll be right back.

EngineerNice job today. Nice, clean race. Well done, guys. Well done, Alex. That was a very strong afternoon. Well done. You did a good job there. A few more laps, you would have got him.

Alexander ALBONYeah, thanks, Christian.
