Hungarian Grand Prix2020 · Race team radio

EngineerOk, you can push.

EngineerThe car in front is on extreme all the rest on inters

Alexander ALBONThere's no standing water

EngineerWraith up, can see that. No dry patches. Copy, so dry through, unless you want the flap change.

Lewis HAMILTONWas that X? There's no grip out here

EngineerSuggest trying brake 4, brake 4

EngineerAnd the clutch position was 3% shallow from the dry target, 3% shallow from the dry target.

EngineerSo just watch for debris turn 12 onwards, Verstappen trying to get back to the pits with damage.

Lewis HAMILTONMad Dog, which do you think is the right target?

EngineerHi Lewis, we'll be sticking with the dry target, second gear.

Lewis HAMILTONOkay.

EngineerRadio check next.

Max VERSTAPPENRadio check.

EngineerLoud and clear. OK, so the formation lap procedures do not change.

EngineerOK, so the formation lap procedures do not change. Bit limits are in for the dummy grid launch. And a static bipod on fire once you're on the ground will carry out your dummy grid launch. Mode 12 before turn 1. Mode 12 before turn 1. As many times as you can during the formation lap between first and second gears for clutch landing. And try to confirm your gear sync before turn 4. Turn 4. From the back of the grid, or P20, we're looking for two burnouts. And as always perform the extra ramp rather than coating down into the pit box. Stationary time just over 30 seconds today.

EngineerHow

Lewis HAMILTONmany burnouts do we need to do on these tyres?

EngineerLewis, the suggestion is five.

EngineerSo, make sure you work on the tyres, on the formation that's important to concentrate on that from the off, working on those tyres and the formation of that.

Lance STROLLAlright. If you see anything with lines from our competitors at

Engineerthe

Lance STROLLbeginning of the race, or someone is obviously quicker in a certain sector and doing different lines, give me that information.

EngineerEveryone's on inter, apart from Magnussen, who's on full wet.

Lewis HAMILTONDry line out, 10-1.

Charles LECLERCSorry the drawing exit of turn one or actually yeah, we'll speak later

Lando NORRISDry line out of turn one, dry line out of turn four.

Romain GROSJEANTruck is drying a lot already.

EngineerOK, Kevin, I think we'll box now. Box now.

Kevin MAGNUSSENYeah, I agree. Box now, box now. For dry, yeah? For dry. Box now for dry.

EngineerOK, Kevin, I think we'll box now.

Pierre GASLYContact with Russell and Albon

Engineerso pressures are fine let me know if any contact with Ferrari

Max VERSTAPPENWell, pretty dry, but safe for the day.

EngineerLando, Kvyat's the first car to pit for slick tyres.

Kimi RAIKKONENYeah, my front tires are suffering, I hope. So, some parts are different on different days, I'm not sure. We can try.

EngineerSo traffic with Magnussen, he will be on rise, OK, clear.

EngineerCarlos, if you're comfortable on medium, we'd pit for medium.

Carlos SAINZCopy, medium.

EngineerSilver entry six silver entry six leave the launch map on apply the brakes in the stop

EngineerSo we jump Vettel at the stop.

EngineerBe careful with left front tyre, be careful with left front tyre.

EngineerBox now, box now, stay right of Bollard.

Max VERSTAPPENWhat time is he up?

EngineerAlton on the medium, same as you.

EngineerWatch for debris where you are watch for debris where you are

EngineerUrgent. Default 27. Default 27.

Engineerdone in race in 20 minutes you need to look after your tires to that point

EngineerOK, Mac, so just a reminder about the possible weather window approaching. I'm just going to need to make these tyres last. You're doing a good job. Just control them where we've spoken about.

EngineerOk Esteban, you're killing the left front in turn 11, you're killing the left front in turn 11

Esteban OCONCopy

EngineerCan you give us a balance check? A

Lewis HAMILTONlittle bit more just here.

EngineerEngine braking 7 for more rotation. Aggressive.

Engineerand get to a stop at 8.3

EngineerWe're good on strategy. We're good on strategy. We will look to extend if we can. You're doing same lap time as Roman in P5.

EngineerTurn one left hand side toggle use left hand side toggle and be careful. It's tailwind there

EngineerCarlos, rain could be as late as 25. Rain could be as late as lap 25.

Lance STROLLBut I'm also overheating the surface on the rear.

EngineerOkay Lando, still a long way to go in this race. The soft runners are really beginning to struggle. Gasly, four cars in front.

EngineerOrange Torque 6, Orange Torque 6 for the low RPM ramps and protect the front left in Turn 5, V-Style Turn 5.

Pierre GASLYI have no f***ing power! How do you want me to race with this? I have no power, slow up shift, no power.

EngineerOk Pierre, box, box, box, box, we have to retire the car, box, box. We have a terminal problem.

EngineerSo expect it's coming from 5 to 11, but copy that.

Lewis HAMILTONGraining on the left front

EngineerVery good pace Max, very good pace. I'll be happy with the appearance of your front left as well.

EngineerBrake balance one click forward and no lifting coast brake balance one click no lifting coast

EngineerYes, I'm actually doing an excellent job. Still unsure whether this rain shower is actually going to force us to pit So whilst others are starting to struggle with the front left, you're doing a really good job. So keep at it

EngineerLance, how was the balance on the intermediates? How was the balance on the inters?

Lance STROLLIt was okay. It was understeery because the fronts were giving up with the dry yard track.

Sebastian VETTELAnd let's stay out and wait.

EngineerUnderstood.

EngineerStill a potential of rain in the next seven laps.

Daniel RICCIARDOUnderstood. Our front's taking a hit now.

EngineerOkay, understood. Reset your switches.

Lewis HAMILTONEngine was just dying at the start. RPM kept dipping. And

Engineeryou're all clear.

Max VERSTAPPENLeft front is giving up quite a bit.

EngineerUnderstood, same reports from Lewis ahead. His last lap was 21.7.

EngineerI

Lance STROLLthink the tires are starting to give up, or it's just loaded.

EngineerSo it's following Russell ahead, it's following Russell ahead. We need to get a little closer to him, and he'll get the blue flag.

Max VERSTAPPENOkay, well, it's suspension and everything.

Max VERSTAPPENHit the wall.

EngineerCopy, Max.

Alexander ALBONBecause it's not easy to drive at all

EngineerAnd how are the tyres and how is the balance?

Daniel RICCIARDOYes, stable, stable at the mountain, but they've got both axles.

EngineerBoth

Daniel RICCIARDOtyres are very easy to overslip, but they're also holding on.

EngineerOkay, understood.

EngineerGap to stroll is increasing

EngineerOk Kimi, update on weather, we should have rain at any time now and it should be a short shower for 10 minutes and then no more rain So

Kimi RAIKKONENwhat tyres we gonna take then?

EngineerIt will depend the level of rain we see, it's in between the two so...

Romain GROSJEANWhat about pitting now? Yeah, I think the floor, I think the floor Absurdly ridiculous, how can you go from so far? Think about, yeah, think about pitting soon Because of the Williams the graining is gone, not great

Lewis HAMILTONStill a lot of rubber on the rear, it's just the fronts that are wearing a little bit.

EngineerCopy Lewis, lap times still good, fastest man on track.

EngineerThe rain is class 2 Carlos could go to Inter but only for 10 minutes

Kimi RAIKKONENMy left is really suffering, so we're losing a lot of time, it's just not going right.

EngineerWe expect light rain imminently, light rain imminently, it'll be your call on tyre choice.

Lando NORRISSpitting a little bit middle sector.

EngineerUnderstood, that's where the rain is coming from.

EngineerAnd multifunction strat position one, strat position one. Can

Charles LECLERCyou ask it to me when I'm not in sector two, please?

EngineerSo last sector getting wetter

EngineerBox now box now

EngineerOkay, so the formation lap procedures do not change

Charles LECLERCCan you let me know the pace every lap, please? Let me know the pace every lap. Let me know the pace every lap, please.

EngineerBring the tyre in a little bit, rustles the car behind, he's on about 15 laps old mediums.

EngineerEngine free and safe to Magnus and behind, 5.8, also Hamilton fitted.

Engineer33 remaining, you did 34 on that tyre.

EngineerNo further rain until the end of the race no further rain until the end of the race

EngineerStill two cars in front of you to stop, but Leclerc will come out right with you when he does. They may be trying to go to the end, they may be trying to go to the end on hard.

Daniel RICCIARDOLet's push this as long as we can.

EngineerUnderstood, there will be one click out.

Max VERSTAPPENOk, I just want to say incredible work guys, that's unbelievable. Thank you very much.

EngineerCarlos this is still good we can still benefit from a safety car and if you pit now you'd immediately get a blue flag

Carlos SAINZOK, but I have very little tire life left.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerCarlos will box this lap box this lap Pit entry not too bad pit entry not too bad box now

EngineerOk car ahead is Leclerc, hard tyres from lap 20

Daniil KVYATCan I box for slicks before the start? Confirm please.

EngineerDiff high speed 5 to reduce snap oversteer.

Lewis HAMILTONEngine keeps sounding like it's gonna stall

Kimi RAIKKONENOk Kimi, Russell is complaining about his tires Yeah, but I can just feel the f***ing action

EngineerSo Ricciardo just speed it now, it will be tight on exit.

EngineerScience behind at 1.2 new attires hard compound

EngineerSuggest Orange Torque 9. McClurk has to stop again or not? No, he does not have to stop again. McClurk is on hard from lap 20. Difficult to get to the end but possible.

EngineerBottas complaining of some graining on his front left tyre Max

EngineerMagnussen is the car ahead of Leclerc, Magnussen is the car ahead of Leclerc, those are 9 and 10, you need to get past them.

Daniel RICCIARDOIs there a train behind Vettel?

EngineerSo we got Vettel, Albon, Perez all on hard tires Vettel doing 20.8, Albon, Perez 20.6

EngineerOK, you've got some free air now for a little bit, Max. Hamilton 19.8, info. OK, Bottas is pitting. Bottas pitting, obviously struggling with his front left tyre. He's going for the two-stop.

Max VERSTAPPENWhatever comes behind him.

EngineerYeah, we had a free pit stop on Stroll. Free pit stop on Stroll. So that's your positive news for the day. No-one else is in contention.

Sebastian VETTELBut as jump to start

EngineerWe can report and check

Lance STROLLI don't know why we didn't fit the prime.

EngineerI've got Sainz and Leclerc five seconds ahead of Vyat, so if you can go fast you can get them as well.

Charles LECLERCFor this sort of rubbish

EngineerTight Vettel use energy, tight Vettel use energy, Vettel 23 lap old primes, Vettel's on 23 lap old primes.

EngineerYeah, suffering guys, suffering for good luck. Copy. We're in the last corner. Stay calm Carlos. Don't get frustrated. Still 16 laps to go after this one.

EngineerHis tires are 21 laps older than yours your time will come

EngineerKevin you're doing perfect. We just need the best total race time we can. Our race will come after the pit stop So just do the best laps you can

EngineerSalvatore, rain 12 minutes away, so you can use these tires.

EngineerLeclerc has had a few lock-ups Carlos, I think there's still opportunity by keeping the pressure on.

Engineerand Lewis we've seen some rain on the radar about 12 minutes away it will only be light

EngineerHow is the balance? How's the balance?

Romain GROSJEANIt's okay. The grip is getting a little bit better. Yeah, the grip on that last lap was a bit better for some reason.

EngineerBe careful to marbles out of line.

EngineerAnd you can just give us a balance check. Coming up.

Lewis HAMILTONBalance is good.

Engineer12 to go.

Alexander ALBONGive me more power. Why aren't you giving me more power?

EngineerCarlos, that's Bottas behind. He'll take blue flags soon. That could be another opportunity. Good job, mate. Leclerc has blue flags now.

EngineerOkay, Lando, in front of Kyriat is Leclerc. He might fall back to us. Let's go, mate. Let's get him.

Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, still a bit more on the rear, but front's starting to suffer as well. Face great.

Charles LECLERCAre we sure the raid is coming? If not, I want to beat.

EngineerCopy, understood.

Charles LECLERCI'm losing so much. My front left is dead. I think we should stop.

EngineerCopy, understood.

Alexander ALBONKeep locking up the inside wheels.

EngineerComing to Torque 7, Mid 6. Torque 6, Mid 6. Torque 6, Mid 6.

EngineerMagnussen taking a blue flag from Bottas now his underlying pace is 120.8 this is still on

EngineerLow light rain expected in 10 minutes.

EngineerSo the staff are behind six seconds, four laps remaining.

EngineerAnd Lewis, can you go menu IC position 9? IC position 9.

Lewis HAMILTONWhat number is that, man?

EngineerIt'll be strap mode 11 if you need it for fastest lap.

Lewis HAMILTONLooks like a lot of wear on that left front.

EngineerOK, copy.

Sebastian VETTELI'm struggling a little bit with the front left.

EngineerAll right, last chance. Got 0.8.

EngineerExpecting medium rain in 8 minutes.

Romain GROSJEANThat car in front of me is really not helping.

EngineerI

Romain GROSJEANknow I'm not whizzing 1.2 seconds, but I can't get there.

EngineerUnderstood, understood.

Lance STROLLAh, this is s**t.

EngineerI'm

Lance STROLLstruggling.

EngineerSo final order, Lewis is stopped at the end of free stop for a soft, maybe the fastest. Verstappen, yourself, Struhl, Albon, Vettel, Perez, Ricciardo, Magnussen, Sainz.

Sebastian VETTELP1 and P0, okay guys Sorry, I lost that position, but the tires were pretty finished at the end

EngineerYeah, you did a hard work today was a good management of the race well done there and Charles finished P11 and cool the brakes so Hamilton then Verstappen nine seconds behind then Bottas right behind Verstappen then Stroll, Albon yourself, Perez, Ricciardo, Magnussen P9 and Sainz P10

Sebastian VETTELOk guys, sorry I lost that position, but the tyres were pretty finished at the end.

EngineerYeah, you did a hard work today. It was a good management of the race, well done there. And Charles finished P11.

Max VERSTAPPENThe LF1 is getting really bad mate.

EngineerAnd slow button on, slow button on, P11, position Hamilton, Verstappen Bottas, Sebastian P6.

Charles LECLERCCopy, I really rarely struggle that much, I really struggled a lot, less talk out of the car, but yeah, was really struggling with the car overall, and also we'll talk about the seat too, because my back is hurting really badly, anyway, we'll speak later.

EngineerCopy, understood.

EngineerGreat job, Alex. P5. Fail. 84. Fail. Fail. 84. Fail. Pick up rubber on the in-lap. Expecting rain on the in-lap. Great recovery, Alex. That was a really strong drive. Some great passing moves and strong pace. So that's a decent day in the office. Well done.

Alexander ALBONThank you, Christian. Thank you, guys. Thanks, everyone. It wasn't an easy weekend, but you guys did it when it counts. Thank you.

EngineerOkay mate, that's the chequered flag. Let's have scenario one. Scenario one's good. That's P10. It's not quite the race we wanted, but it's still a valuable point. Well done mate, that was a decent race, decent drive.

Carlos SAINZYeah, thank you. I think we got unlucky there at the stop with the traffic, but it's not our fault. But yeah, good job.

EngineerSome

Carlos SAINZwork to do on the car balance.

Lewis HAMILTONI see spotted rain

EngineerAnd Lando, tough start for the race for us. We finished in P13, P13.

Lando NORRISYeah, good job. The car was pretty good, I think. Just messed up the start, like you said, and I made everything harder, so it's on me, my bad.

EngineerNo worries, dude.

EngineerOK, conditions wise Max, expecting it to remain as it is for the next 4-5 minutes and then clear to the end of the race.

Esteban OCONThat was a horrible weekend, guys. We need to have a good review and I don't want ever to have a race like this. It was really poor.

EngineerI agree, it was poor.

EngineerP12, done him. It was a good race.

Daniil KVYATWell, with the way we did the race, we deserved a race win. To be honest.

EngineerI

Daniil KVYATdon't know. Work your ass out.

EngineerTo

Daniil KVYATfinish P12.

EngineerThe race is good. The race was good. Fail 84, fail. Fail 84, fail.

EngineerJust think about managing that front left. We did add balance.

Lewis HAMILTONI am, I am.

EngineerOK, George, we expect possible rain in nine laps.

Max VERSTAPPENWait, they have to move the run. I'm fighting for second here.

EngineerYeah, understood Max. We're trying.

Max VERSTAPPENHow far is he behind, Bottas?

EngineerHe's right behind you.

Romain GROSJEANIs everything okay on the car? I don't have any more grip at all. I may have marble but just check everything.

EngineerAll looks okay, all looks okay.

EngineerSo target pace 18.5 to beat him.

Lewis HAMILTONSorry, I don't feel great.

EngineerJust get your head down back on the pace now Max.

Max VERSTAPPENI'm trying as hard as I can.

EngineerYep, as ever.

EngineerSo Lewis, we're thinking of taking this free stop, you've got 10 laps to go when you cross the line, you'll come out 3 seconds ahead of the Stappen, we'll be taking the hard tyre, let's not be happy with that.

Lewis HAMILTONWe don't have a sub we can use.

EngineerWe don't think that's a very good tyre at all Lewis, I think hard's the way to go. I think

Lewis HAMILTONthe 10 laps and sub is going to be good.

EngineerIt will grain after 3.

Lewis HAMILTONOK.

Charles LECLERCI'm struggling so much

EngineerWhat's

Lewis HAMILTONgoing on?

EngineerStandby Lewis, need to find out myself

EngineerYeah, so we're going to switch it to the soft so we just want to give ourselves a little bit more margin

Charles LECLERCThe balance is all over the place. I'm crying my eyes out, but I'm struggling so much.

Max VERSTAPPENGet those f***ing cars out of the way.

EngineerGet in there Lewis. Absolute master class mate. What a spot on effort. So yeah, fastest lap and the win. Beautiful work there.

Lewis HAMILTONFantastic effort this weekend guys. I'm so proud of you all and so happy with today. Thanks so much.

Max VERSTAPPENYes, guys, what a result, what a result. I want to say a big thank you to the mechanics because they saved the day. You guys are legends. Thank you so much.

Engineerscenario 12 scenario 12 okay that's p8 p8 nice job on those tires yep

Daniel RICCIARDOokay thanks guys yeah once we got a bit closer they they died but sorry i would have loved to have had a bit more of an attack

Lance STROLLWell done. Nice one guys. Big points in the bag. Let's go.

Kevin MAGNUSSENThanks, man. You did amazing. I had everything I needed, man. I want to kiss you. I want to kiss you, man.

EngineerThat was a tough one, that was a tough one, but we learned from it.

Nicholas LATIFIYeah, we just got to put this one behind us.

EngineerOK, checkered flag, tough day.

George RUSSELLWhat was my clutch target for start? Just every one I did went into massive wheel spin.

EngineerIt

George RUSSELLseemed like everyone on the right hand side had a terrible start as well, but regardless it was very, very tricky in the beginning when I was following. Just had no stability. Yeah, we'll just guess after.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerOkay dude, that's the checker, that's the checker, good drive man, really good call at the beginning of the race to swap tyres, that really opened it up. Just a real big shame we got that damage in the race, but good job keeping Räikkönen behind to the end. Yeah, good call guys, very good call. Second call a bit late I believe,

Romain GROSJEANyeah,

Engineerand then damage. Where did Kevin finish? Kevin got P9, P9, so that's really good for the team. Yeah, great job, good job, good job.

EngineerKen Antonio, P17, Etienne, Kimi, P16, Hamilton 1, Verstappen and Bottas, top 3.

Antonio GIOVINAZZICopy.

EngineerOk Kimi, that's it, mode 4, pick up some rubber please, Hamilton 1, followed by Verstappen and Bottas. Ok Kimi, remember full switch off procedure please, see you in a bit.

EngineerOK, checkered flag, position 7, well done mate, it was just a start wasn't it? Well

Sergio PEREZdone mate, were they last finished?

EngineerLance was P4 checkered, P4

EngineerCheck reflect, check reflect. P12 done him. It was a good race.

Daniil KVYATWell, with the way we did the race, we deserved the race win. To be honest. I don't know. Work your ass out. To P12.
