Bahrain Grand Prix2020 · Practice 1 team radio

EngineerOkay for Cha-John, Cha-John Magnussen behind, he's three seconds behind

Daniil KVYATOkay, pull toggle is very bad for turn one, very poor and The last corner is shockingly bad with the rear slip

EngineerHe's such a good guy. He gives you a tour when he's on the outlab. Always nice.

Engineerare you okay are you okay yeah

Romain GROSJEANi'm okay it's completely gone okay check vibration i'll come back slowly

EngineerOk thank you, next one is Norris on outlap, and we need a good braking please where you can

EngineerYou were target minus one both initial throttle and drive out were good

EngineerLet's have a go at this next lap, we haven't really got time to do another cool down lap, so when Norris, he's on your tail so recharge off, recharge off and you're good to go.

EngineerAnd just for reference Esteban, you are currently P10. You are the fastest car on hard tyres.

EngineerStrat 12, Strat 12, stop in the box, hit the marks.

EngineerOK Esteban, practice your pit entry from turn 14. Esteban in. Copy that Esteban, practice your stop in position and then go to P1 please.

EngineerAnd recommend the rearward B-Bell adjust for turn 10.

EngineerWarm front brakes where you can

EngineerAnd it feels like the wind is just picking up a bit.

EngineerSuggest left hand side toggle turn 13 to help rotation left hand side toggle turn 13

Engineerso one thing Lando is a slightly shorter lift in turn six but a bigger lift in seven fairly close on lap time maybe just a few milliseconds in Lando's favor Carlos but he could try the other approach through there

EngineerSuggest to avoid the turn 6 apex kerb. Avoid the apex kerb turn 6.

Lando NORRISI need to go down, down two.

EngineerOkay understood, on this tyre I only need to do one more time lap. Do you want to do the front wing adjust now? Okay yes. Yeah okay, so minor purple C13 position six, purple C13 position six. And back to purple C1 and Lando just check your baseline brake balance.

EngineerSo again, just think about your front warm-up, front brakes, give them a good work.

Alexander ALBONDrivability feels pretty good.

EngineerYeah, understood. We think it's because of the motor in. So you can do recharge on. Recharge on, please.

EngineerHey Danny double cool down will be double cool down

EngineerOK, recharge on, recharge on, and we'll cool the tyres down. Beep out six, please, beep out six.

EngineerSo strut three, you're good to go.

EngineerAnd Dani, we went out, track limit turn 4, so the lap time is deleted.

Daniil KVYATYeah, Michael, get rid of this f***ing track limits.

Alexander ALBONThere's not much difference in the tyres.

EngineerYep, understood, I can see that from the lap time.

EngineerCarlos test green shape one for turn 11 12 and 13 green shape one for turn 11 12 and 13 and Reset to green shape two for the final corner Copy

Carlos SAINZhappy with that

EngineerYour perforce sectors are 1 and 2, just down a tenth in the final sector, so that was braking minimum speed in the final corner and then braking turn 13.

Max VERSTAPPENAh lovely, I think the tyres are flat spotted.

Engineercould be rain approaching last corner and check for spits on the visor

Charles LECLERCYeah, tyres just don't feel good. Even one lap on these tyres on this track, we know how bad it is, so yeah.

EngineerBig, big, big, big, big on the steer, what should I do? Shape, diff, torque. Ok, I'll come back to you.

EngineerWe think Torx 6 could help you out. Torx 6.

Sebastian VETTELComing in for a flap adjust. Is

Engineerthat essential? Because we need to complete this program with these tyres and then we can go on the other side.

Sebastian VETTELStill counts as a flying lap, doesn't it?

EngineerNo, because it's in an in-lap.

Sebastian VETTELComing in for flap adjust, plus three

Engineerclicks please. Is that essential, because we need to complete this program with these tyres, and then we can go on the other side?

Sebastian VETTELStill counts as a flying lap, doesn't it?

EngineerNo, because it's in an in-lap.

Sebastian VETTELOK, staying out then.

EngineerOK, copy.

EngineerAnd just getting reports of very light rain.

EngineerSo checking no rain no more rain expected

EngineerI can

Lance STROLLtry one more, but I would need a double cool.

EngineerWarm the front brakes

EngineerAnd you can see... I'm on the turret. Ok, copy. Your fronts are a bit high. If you can do anything. Traffic behind is good.

Robert KUBICAYeah, I cannot do a lot by front tires. I can cool down rears but... Do

Engineeryour best, yeah.

EngineerOk Robert, mode charge and I suggest box, I doubt we can improve the lap time, let me know. And if you want to box we need mode S.

Robert KUBICAWell, it will be difficult to improve, but I can learn something for me, not for the team, so it's up to you. Yeah, the fronts are understeer here, hot, for whatever reason.

Pierre GASLYYeah, we need to fix the engine braking, it doesn't work.

EngineerIt

Pierre GASLYgives me more negative force.

EngineerOk, we are looking now.

EngineerFail, 10, fail, fail, 10, fail, update on tyres when you can. They

Pierre GASLYare not great, just the tractions are very difficult.

EngineerCopy that, we'll do one more time, one more time.

EngineerAnd clutch paddle 1% deep.

EngineerEngine 11, position 5, engine 11, position 5.

Daniil KVYATI have

Engineera

Daniil KVYATbig lack of brake efficiency everywhere.

EngineerAnd how's the balance so far?

Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, bit of a mixed bag, but yeah I feel like I'm front limited early in the lap.

EngineerOkay, understood.

Charles LECLERCOh, what the hell is he doing?

EngineerPerez is five seconds behind. He might be a good car to try and get a toe-off at the start of your time-lapse.

EngineerIt's a bit more management in turn 12, bit more management in turn 12.

EngineerDo you feel any change in the car on this run, question? I'm

Alexander ALBONjust struggling so much with fronts. I mean, it's

Engineernot

Alexander ALBONgoing to stir again, but it's not a fair test really because of the day on the fronts.

EngineerOK, understood. If nothing's changing, then we'll box this lap and try and go back on the change. So if you've got a good feeling for it, we'll box this lap. Let us know.

Alexander ALBONYes, OK, box. OK.

EngineerAnd compared to Sebastian, we should try to improve apex turn 4 and 6, Sebastian.

Charles LECLERCYeah, but compared to which lap, I've had one lap in traffic and one lap with all tyres, so... Yes, but compared to which lap, which lap are you taking, the first one or the second one?

EngineerYour second lap, watch for traffic with Latifi and then Hamilton.

EngineerAh, yeah, area's already completely going Ok dude, let's increase our management a bit if we can Yeah, where? Focus on rear left tyre Yeah, if he doesn't... I think we should box to remove 1% A-ball Ok, we can box, we can box now around the box Yeah, box, box, box

EngineerAnd Miner, Scenario 9 please, Scenario 9.

EngineerOkay Alex, so we've got time for a fast lap, a cool down, and then we'll be boxing, but we'll push on that in lap. Okay, so we'll get ready, assume it's a fast low fast, but we will box on the second fast.

EngineerOK, so he'll be straight out and you will have Sainz, Nisseni and Giovinazzi approaching Turn 1 hot laps. So three quick cars coming now. That's one, that's two, one more. OK, clear track behind. Thank you. Next one behind, Magnussen, 15 behind. Magnussen is high fuel. There's a big gap behind him if you need it.

Lando NORRISI need to come down on front wing. Down three.

EngineerUnderstood. OK, Lando, you can come in now. You can come in. The box is busy, so we're going to pull up in front of Carlos, in front of Carlos. Lando, did you say down three? Down three?

Lando NORRISYep.

EngineerOK, it's happening.

EngineerSo if possible just practice turn 14 to pit lane entry.

EngineerYou

Nicholas LATIFIcan obviously see a vibration on the front left blast pump, trying to get it out of lockdown.

EngineerOK, and after the final corner, can we press and hold the overtake and push until turn 2 please?

EngineerThank you, everyone. Thank you very much. Thank you. Good job.
