Spanish Grand Prix 2020: Practice 2 team radio

Every message, in the order it happened

1. Esteban OCONRenault14:08:14

   Esteban OCON: Car pulling to the right when I brake.

   Engineer: Copy. There's a brake temperature delta across the front, it should even up Esteban.

2. George RUSSELLWilliams14:12:24

   Engineer: I

   George RUSSELL: feel like we've got massive understeer. High

   Engineer: speed, low speed. Everywhere,

   George RUSSELL: tyres just aren't working under these conditions. Just sliding on the surface.

3. Esteban OCONRenault14:15:47

   Engineer: You are the fastest car on hard tyres. Perez and Sainz have also run hard, 20.36 and 20.6, so your time looks good.

4. Daniel RICCIARDORenault14:18:00

   Engineer: Get some balance feedback please.

   Daniel RICCIARDO: It's a little light to start the lap, so a bit more on the front, similar to the morning.

5. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes14:18:53

   Engineer: Let me know if you need another lap, otherwise we're boxing.

   Valtteri BOTTAS: Adjusting grip level is pretty low with this tyre, so I'm

   Engineer: quite happy to box. Copy, box, box.

6. George RUSSELLWilliams14:20:27

   George RUSSELL: These tyres are just not working at all, it's a massive slide.

   Engineer: Copy that, it's the same for the others, running the prime and the offset between option and prime is bigger than we estimated.

7. Daniil KVYATAlphaTauri14:22:17

   Daniil KVYAT: Yeah, same. I mean, the balance is a bit rear limited now, everywhere. So it's

   Engineer: a

   Daniil KVYAT: bit tricky to read something into it.

   Engineer: Copy, BoxBox.

8. Alexander ALBONRed Bull14:23:31

   Engineer: Do you want another lap on these tyres? Question?

   Alexander ALBON: Yes.

   Engineer: Okay, well let's cool them down again.

9. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull14:24:37

   Engineer: and you can wake the right hand side tires up turns five and seven on the way through this time

10. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes14:31:19

    Engineer: The track is reading 10 degrees hotter than the soft front this morning.

11. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes14:32:27

    Engineer: Okay, so double cooldown, track is completely free.

12. Sergio PEREZRacing Point14:34:07

    Engineer: We're happy to let these tie temps drop

13. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull14:40:27

    Engineer: Okay, saw the little moment at turn 1-2, that cost you a tenth. You are perfect again in sector 3.

14. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri14:40:50

    Pierre GASLY: Just let me know 10-10, I think there is something, we should take it a bit easier for them here.

15. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:41:05

    Engineer: I'll

    Lewis HAMILTON: have to check my tyres in a bit, just went over some stones.

    Engineer: Tyres look okay.

16. Sebastian VETTELFerrari14:43:22

    Engineer: Multifunction mix 3, let me know if you need a double cool. Yeah, definitely double. Understood.

17. Nicholas LATIFIWilliams14:43:36

    Nicholas LATIFI: I think the tires are going to be done. I'm not going to get much out of it.

18. Esteban OCONRenault14:46:46

    Esteban OCON: Yeah, I can't turn in the car, the rear was all over the place basically. There's no rear stability.

    Engineer: Understood.

19. Charles LECLERCFerrari14:48:04

    Charles LECLERC: Can I go to the toilet and come back in a bit? Yes, you can.

20. Daniil KVYATAlphaTauri14:48:24

    Daniil KVYAT: Yeah, there is something weird going on with engine braking in turn 10, because two laps, two completely different cars.

21. Alexander ALBONRed Bull14:49:51

    Engineer: well on our own experience I think the tires may be good still in sector one and two sector three you might drop off a bit but they should get feeling in sector one and two

22. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo14:55:14

    Kimi RAIKKONEN: Brakes feel suddenly very bad. Copy, we are checking.

23. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull14:58:06

    Engineer: So Bottas five laps in stabilizer at 23.0 Hamilton average first of two laps also at 23.0

24. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes15:00:03

    Valtteri BOTTAS: The wear balance so far feels a bit better.

25. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull15:02:07

    Engineer: So Bottas has pitted onto the hard, he stabilised at 23.0, I think that was a managed pace, 23.0.

26. Carlos SAINZMcLaren15:03:07

    Engineer: Carlos, the FIA have asked us not to use the old track turn 13 unless you're clearly impeding someone.

    Carlos SAINZ: OK, copy.

27. Nicholas LATIFIWilliams15:03:34

    Engineer: Feedback on car balance?

    Nicholas LATIFI: Yeah, it's okay. A little bit on edge of oversteer. Now the mirrors feel like they're overheating. Then the front left is on the edge as well.

28. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull15:05:56

    Engineer: Gradually increasing a little bit more. Front left is a leading tyre for info. I'll let you know when they stabilise.

29. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull15:06:31

    Engineer: The wind picked up into Turn 4. Some of that might have been tow, but it does feel a bit gussier.

30. Daniil KVYATAlphaTauri15:08:32

    Daniil KVYAT: Look at this f***ing cloud.

31. Carlos SAINZMcLaren15:09:42

    Engineer: Carlos, front left tyre quite hot, suggest shorter, sharper lift, turn 3.

32. Daniil KVYATAlphaTauri15:12:33

    Daniil KVYAT: Okay, I'm not doing an understated traffic, so help me to find a good window.

33. George RUSSELLWilliams15:15:02

    George RUSSELL: It's both axles mate, it's not just the front, both axles, zero grip, and driving on ice.

34. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri15:18:07

    Pierre GASLY: Guys, what the f*** we said we back off? We

    Engineer: said we back off 2 seconds, we backed off 6 or 7

    Pierre GASLY: I didn't back off at all, for f***s sake, it never works

35. Charles LECLERCFerrari15:18:24

    Charles LECLERC: Every two left, there's someone slowing down and then we end up here.

    Engineer: So,

    Charles LECLERC: going to slow down, but for sure whenever they see there's nobody in the mirror, they will slow down too, so...

    Engineer: Copy, understood.

36. Romain GROSJEANHaas15:20:39

    Romain GROSJEAN: Loss of power.

37. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri15:21:38

    Engineer: Ok, drop back 2 seconds, drop back 2 seconds, end of this lap, Dani will do the same, drop back

    Pierre GASLY: Guys, what the f***, we said we back off We

    Engineer: said we back off 2 seconds, we backed off 6 or 7 I

    Pierre GASLY: didn't back off at all, it never works

38. Daniel RICCIARDORenault15:26:39

    Engineer: And for info, wind is picking up

39. George RUSSELLWilliams15:27:17

    George RUSSELL: Big snap, 11.

    Engineer: Well

    George RUSSELL: not big, but massive loss of rear.

40. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas15:28:40

    Kevin MAGNUSSEN: The tires are pretty consistent.

41. Charles LECLERCFerrari15:32:56

    Charles LECLERC: Did Verstappen do more laps on them?

    Engineer: Yes, he did.

    Charles LECLERC: How many more?

    Engineer: So he did 10 total laps.

    Charles LECLERC: Ah, ok. Nobody on the same amount of laps?

    Engineer: Not the same amount of laps.
