Belgian Grand Prix2020 · Practice 2 team radio

EngineerMulti-B, Shift 4, Shift 4.

EngineerMore push, more push.

Kimi RAIKKONENYeah, I have a lot of vibration again on the tires, straight away.

EngineerOkay, copy.

EngineerGive me 20 seconds behind pushing.

Engineerand we suggest left toggle turn 1

EngineerIt will be two burnouts and

Daniel RICCIARDOsecond

Engineergear start, so two burnouts, second gear start.

EngineerWe need

Kimi RAIKKONENto check what's happened on the braking in the last second. Yeah, we're done. We're done on the way. Okay, watch out. Don't get slowed down too much.

EngineerAnd check Diff In switch, check Diff In switch.

Charles LECLERCDiff In zero, Brian.

EngineerYes, Diff In zero.

Lando NORRISSomething's not right. It's misfiring a lot or something. Understood, stand by. Yeah, I've got not much power. Scenario one please, scenario one.

EngineerDo you like a burnout after T1 if possible? No, we just do two before and then we do the start.

EngineerYeah loud and clear well loud

EngineerSo I saw your temperatures on the previous lap I'm sure you could see what they were. I think they were about Minus five so maybe try and target a little bit hotter Obviously the rears will be a bit hotter this second lap as well, but just be aware of that

Engineerokay so that's b1 you've got alban p2 on the medium is a 45-2

Engineersectors compared to Sebastian we are three tenths faster sector one losing two tenths sector two and three tenths faster sector three

Engineersectors compared to Sebastian. We are 3 tenths faster sector 1, losing 2 tenths sector 2 and 3 tenths faster sector 3.

Sebastian VETTELYeah, locked up full front, despite being rivets. Beginner braking. Front's when near, ready.

George RUSSELLActually, I've been pretty poor at turn 18, 19. I'd like to complete the next lap.

EngineerBut tyre-wise, it is a first-lap tyre currently. Nicholas braking later at 18 by 5 metres.

EngineerTo Verstappen, down 1 tenth in the first sector, you are up nearly 2 tenths in the middle, down 4 tenths final sector.

EngineerGPS is pretty bad, I can't see where that is Yeah, last corner, just check front left, small lock up to 18 Copy, you've got Latifi behind 3 seconds, he's on a lap

EngineerAnd Carlos, unless this lap's really coming together, I suggest to abort at the exit of 15, and Pyrton will save the mileage. Copy, let's see.

EngineerAnd I know, suggestion, stroll 7 seconds back, suggestion, bottom toggle for turn 18, and try 1 gear higher in turn 1 and turn 18, stroll 2 seconds.

EngineerI think all three tires may well work though, around here.

EngineerSo Lewis was 43.8 most of it I think is turn one.

EngineerOK, copy. You can take one more lap if you want it. It would be in strat I-5.

EngineerAnd main lost to Valtteri, minimum speed turn 7, that's about it there.

EngineerAlso final corner, but you know about that Is

Lewis HAMILTONbraking better or not?

EngineerSo yeah, braking final corner is better

EngineerI think I'm about to pull it rearwards at turn 8. Pull it rearwards at turn 8.

Sebastian VETTELIt's not about rearwards, it's more about the fact that the car can't take more speed on entry. But I'll try.

EngineerOk, understood.

Carlos SAINZWhat are the main time loss?

EngineerSo there's still a bit in the exit of 8, I think it was a step better, just a little bit Then stopping the car too much, braking too hard in turn 12 and That seems to cause potentially some of the understeer you have. Turn 14 you lose time as you said

Sebastian VETTELOkay, I picked up a lot of vibrations from the tyres.

Antonio GIOVINAZZIUh, I went a little bit on the carbon 14 to check the floor when I'm back.

EngineerAnd box now box for a practice start at the end of the pitlane.

Kimi RAIKKONENI'll lock the front grip. Something strange from the morning to now on the braking. It's not consistent. Then launch again and then what? Copy. Something will happen.

Kevin MAGNUSSENRadio is good. Yep, loud and clear. Thanks guys. Thanks for changing the engine.

EngineerJust to remind it, you are currently in B-ball 6, if you're aware of that that's fine, we want to do the laps in B-ball 4 when we get going.

Alexander ALBONYeah, just trying to get the fronts.

EngineerUnderstood. I think with these temperatures at some point they will switch on and you'll start to feel good grip, but I would just stick with it, it will come during the lap.

Kimi RAIKKONENThe split bands are not correct.

EngineerHow was the cap, yeah?

Pierre GASLYNo,

EngineerI

Pierre GASLYwould say it was okay.

EngineerOkay, we have Norris starting a time-lapse, he's on the control line now, but we have a good gap. Enkin 5, position 1. It

Pierre GASLYwas okay, I didn't have any trouble.

EngineerThe

Pierre GASLYbalance was a bit better this one.

EngineerYeah, I copy that. I think we just lost a bit in the last chicken. It's a shame for the last chicken.

EngineerInitial lap times, Bottas on the medium, first time lap at 52.0, not sure what he's up to, Alex first three laps on soft, 50.1, 50.0, 50.3.

EngineerShould

Lewis HAMILTONI come in, or are the slabs kind of pointless because I've got traffic?

EngineerNo, stand by. OK, so we'll stay out and we'll get one timed, one proper timed.

EngineerYou need to stop the car Daniel, stop the car.

EngineerAnd yellow flags after Eau Rouge up the hill. Car on the right hand side. Let's just back off through there.

EngineerRicciardo is stopped on the right-hand side of the Kemmel Strait. There are yellow flags ahead. He's on the right-hand side just off the edge of the track on the Kemmel Strait.

EngineerCarlos, go to scenario 8. Scenario 8, virtual safety car ending, recharge off.

Esteban OCONWhat's wrong with the car, Daniel?

EngineerI don't know.

EngineerCheco, ACS on, ACS on, we'll be doing 10 laps on this tyre, 10 time-lapse.

EngineerFipe, how is the balance, Dani?

Daniil KVYATAll stable at the moment, a bit of everything.

EngineerYou can open the gap to Sebastian in front, he is in high fuel.

Max VERSTAPPENUm, these stars, they start to vibrate quite quick.

EngineerOK, understood.

EngineerTurn eight you have both axles on the limit over the bump

Carlos SAINZcopy

EngineerSo Lewis on the hard 2 tenths slower but power corrected is 2 tenths quicker

EngineerOK, track is clear behind, and let me know if you need another push lap after that? No, I think we should

Charles LECLERCgo to I-5 now.

EngineerCopy, understood, so box this lap, box.

EngineerRed flag, follow the reference, charge on, follow the reference, red flag

Sebastian VETTELWhat is the red flag?

EngineerWe don't know, stay positive and no overtaking, debris after turn 1, I don't know if you have seen them.

Sebastian VETTELOh, nothing.

EngineerApparently there's debris on track after turn 1, so all OK to box.

EngineerOkay Alex, so we think we'll get four time-lapse here, four time-lapse, so I suggest you get stuck into it straight away.

EngineerAnd I'd like 100% pace, 100% pace for two time-lapse.

Engineerand we need mode formation, three burnouts, no bite point and target to red you can keep K21 for all the lap and try to start a bit more a bit forward compared to the previous start

EngineerOkay, there'll be two more laps max track should be clear when you can engine 14 position one when you can position one Yes, please

EngineerStill marching to improve braking turn 1, focus braking turn 1.

EngineerConsider lower torque if you're front limited.

EngineerAnd fail B00 on, please.

Engineerand a revised lap time of a fifty point oh point

George RUSSELLzero

Max VERSTAPPENI wanted to pick up throttle there, but I think it was a turbo or something holding me back.

EngineerEngine 12, engine 12, position 11, position 11, continue to push to turn 5 please Max, push to turn 5.

EngineerFS4 test and pushing the ALAP, FS4 test and pushing the ALAP.

EngineerAnd for info last time lap was deleted at 51.5 for turn 9
