Bahrain Grand Prix 2020: Practice 3 team radio

Every message, in the order it happened

1. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas11:01:23

   Engineer: Multi GX3, Multi GX3

2. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo11:06:19

   Engineer: Ok Kimi, traffic is good, everything looks good so far, and nobody behind, mode push when you're ready.

3. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo11:07:51

   Engineer: OK, give me more charge and we will need a slow charge please.

4. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo11:09:14

   Engineer: Ok, you can start to work a bit on your brakes, on the cold side. Traffic is still good.

5. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo11:11:09

   Engineer: The

   Kimi RAIKKONEN: only issue is that they have a lot of vibration.

   Engineer: Copy that, you think.

6. George RUSSELLWilliams11:13:08

   Engineer: Managed through 567, copy, that'll just be the beacon, so managed through 567, a lot more than last time

7. George RUSSELLWilliams11:16:44

   Engineer: Okay, we'll take the slow lap, plus 40, 4-0, drop the rear, maintain the front, still quiet on track. So that first lap was two tenths behind Raikkonen, and two and a half tenths quicker than Nicholas.

8. George RUSSELLWilliams11:17:42

   George RUSSELL: Quite oversteery turn four and then entry of six as well

9. Antonio GIOVINAZZIAlfa Romeo11:19:27

   Engineer: Multi B, shift 4, shift 4

10. Lando NORRISMcLaren11:19:51

    Lando NORRIS: Bipon find, two

    Engineer: burnouts, second gear launch.

11. Carlos SAINZMcLaren11:21:35

    Carlos SAINZ: I cannot synchronize first gear, I don't know

    Engineer: Copy, no problem

12. Carlos SAINZMcLaren11:22:21

    Engineer: Carlos, wind looks a bit stronger than P2, not as bad as P1.

13. Romain GROSJEANHaas11:23:18

    Engineer: I don't know what to say. Just watch for Keres coming past you now. Why

    Romain GROSJEAN: am I having so much of a different looking issue now? Watch for Russell. Two behind. Watch for Russell.

14. Carlos SAINZMcLaren11:25:17

    Carlos SAINZ: Yeah, a lot of snaps in mid-corner.

    Engineer: Yeah, so the wind has changed quite a bit. There is now wind from the outside in turn 4 and more tailwind in the entry of turn 8. Suggest mid-toggle for turn 8 and turn 13. Mid-toggle turn 8 and 13, radio still open.

15. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull11:27:28

    Engineer: Alix will push at the end of this lap.

    Max VERSTAPPEN: OK, bit of understood high speed.

    Engineer: Understood, and saw the D-rate at the end of the lap as well. Dab, engine 9, position 6 please, engine 9, position 6.

16. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:28:08

    Engineer: Main lost to Valtteri, minimum speed turn 8

17. Sebastian VETTELFerrari11:28:29

    Sebastian VETTEL: Okay, that was a waste with Russell, I don't know what the hell he was doing

18. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull11:28:30

    Engineer: How is traction today? Low speed?

    Max VERSTAPPEN: Yeah, better. About a bit.

19. Esteban OCONRenault11:30:25

    Engineer: Okay we think you can brake five meters later into turn 13, that's what Daniel's doing, and into the last corner maybe rolling off a little bit too much speed going in there, otherwise all good.

20. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:31:25

    Engineer: Just remember,

    Lewis HAMILTON: there's a bit of clay in my steering rack.

    Engineer: Okay, copy.

21. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull11:32:33

    Engineer: Box all right stay out stay out, please finish the lap

22. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull11:33:03

    Engineer: And cancel DRS please Max, cancel your DRS, cancel DRS.

23. Daniil KVYATAlphaTauri11:34:07

    Engineer: So Danny, turn 8, we can push slightly more at the entry, exit was good, and turn 13 the same, you are good to push, offset 7.

24. Esteban OCONRenault11:36:10

    Engineer: OK, Span, you're going to box to do a burnout from the box, using the overtake button, and then we'll do a start at the end of the pit lane. So I'm going to ask you to stop before the box please, stop before the box to put rubber through it.

    Esteban OCON: You mean the burnout button?

    Engineer: Yeah, use the burnout button, sorry, burnout button. Copy, yeah. Definitely overtake wouldn't be a good idea.

25. Sergio PEREZRacing Point11:37:12

    Sergio PEREZ: similar targets yeah

    Engineer: so we're okay to drop another five to eight degrees on the tyres so they're all happy to let these drop a bit

26. Daniil KVYATAlphaTauri11:37:57

    Engineer: We need three tire warming, overtake button and three tire warming Target is baseline minus two baseline minus two Mode three for the start

27. George RUSSELLWilliams11:39:12

    George RUSSELL: Roll by me to reset brake balance, starting the lap.

28. Daniil KVYATAlphaTauri11:40:05

    Engineer: Ok Dani, we need to do a test, so you stop in the box, where the mechanics are waiting for you, we put the neutral, and you pull the clutch, and then I will let you know when release it.

29. George RUSSELLWilliams11:42:40

    Engineer: okay that's a 9 10th game we'll take the slow lap plus 44.0 same again dropping rear let's get hpp on try and get some full throttle recharge and we'll do the brake warming out of turn 10.

30. George RUSSELLWilliams11:43:59

    George RUSSELL: Was BVAL okay turn 9-10?

    Engineer: Let's get the brake warming done on the button

    George RUSSELL: Sorry mate, I was focusing on the recharge, can I do it out of 11?

    Engineer: Yep that's fine, and HPP off

31. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:48:11

    Engineer: So currently a P1, Valtteri P2, one tenth behind. Valtteri had a tow starting his lap that bought him two tenths of a second.

32. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:49:49

    Engineer: And

    Lewis HAMILTON: where was I down then?

    Engineer: Note to Valtteri, you gained pretty much everywhere. Did I lose at the last corner or something? No, last corner looks good. Yeah, looks like you're gaining on the majority of the exits. Yeah, the only place that Valtteri's faster than you is just with that toe on that last lap. It was 0.14 gain to you. Maybe

    Lewis HAMILTON: 10.11 could be better.

    Engineer: So just do it with a little bit more PU load. If anything, it's a bit minimum speed, turn 6.

    Lewis HAMILTON: Yep, cool.

33. Carlos SAINZMcLaren11:51:12

    Engineer: Carlos, do you want continuous laps? If so, it would be Scenario 10, Scenario 10 and Sock 8.

34. Charles LECLERCFerrari11:52:33

    Engineer: And mode. Oh, I'm all up.

    Charles LECLERC: I'm all up.

    Engineer: Mode charge. Mode charge.

35. Sergio PEREZRacing Point11:53:37

    Engineer: tires are pretty good it's just the brakes. I think our one ahead is going to pit so it's just Vettel. We will need a bit of brake temp checker. You were pretty marginal last time with only the one brake

36. Alexander ALBONRed Bull11:55:43

    Engineer: and your temperatures will continue to drop so start the last lap you're about minus 3 minus 7 so that's where you were last time minus 3 minus 7 front and rear so just think about what you want to do differently this time

37. Daniil KVYATAlphaTauri11:57:16

    Daniil KVYAT: Ok, I had a big moment, so, abort. Yeah, I went off track, but I didn't hit any kerb or anything, so it

    Engineer: should be ok.

38. George RUSSELLWilliams11:58:16

    Engineer: okay clear behind the go

    George RUSSELL: switch yep

    Engineer: we can go yeah we want the velum out of turn three the velum two you can just stay and go race it's fine

39. Sergio PEREZRacing Point11:59:02

    Engineer: We're still happy to lose some tyre temp. How's the pace? We're currently P10, but 3 tenths, which is what you lost, would put you P5.

40. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull12:00:59

    Engineer: Feedback on clutch, on target.

41. Lando NORRISMcLaren12:02:13

    Engineer: recharge on and cool the car please we are boxed this lap and feedback from Peter on target initial throttle good drive out good excellent job
