Styrian Grand Prix2020 · Practice 2 team radio

EngineerOK, you could afford to go a bit slower if you want, for your tyres? Yeah, but I have to charge. Yeah, copy. I

Kimi RAIKKONENdon't give two brakes, OK? I know, I know.

EngineerAlright, I'll leave you to

Kimi RAIKKONENdeal with it. I

Engineerwould

Kimi RAIKKONENlove to go slower, but it's... I know, it's not an easy

Engineercompromise. Anyway...

Romain GROSJEANThe front tires, they cooled down too much. I don't know. Help me, guys.

EngineerGo in, go in. We need to cool the car, cool the car. Box, box. For practice pitons, stop in box. First car behind you, Gasly. First car behind you, Gasly. I expect him to be on a slow lap.

EngineerLet me know if you are happy there or you want to take one more.

Sebastian VETTELI need another one. I need to get used to the brakes.

Carlos SAINZIs the track just really slow, or is it me?

EngineerYeah, I think the track probably is quite slow. Let's have Orange Torque 7, Orange Torque 7.

Daniel RICCIARDOAll okay? Yep, sorry.

EngineerRed flag, red flag, delta, positive on the delta, switch to cool.

Engineerbehind

Alexander ALBONdriveability doesn't feel as nice in the low speed on exits Russell

Engineerpushing behind copy Russell pushing behind

Max VERSTAPPENI'm not really having a lot of power.

EngineerStand by.

EngineerAnd we have tailwind into turn one and turn three

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, it's cutting.

EngineerUnderstood, stay up for the moment, work your tyres.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, no power.

EngineerOK, box this lap please Max, box this lap.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, like 4th, 5th gear, after that there is no power.

Kimi RAIKKONENWhy is my shift so bad? I feel very harsh.

EngineerTwo seconds to Russell, and mode push.

EngineerOkay, time to land. I mainly turn six.

Carlos SAINZSlightly like

Engineerrelease of brake. Slightly later braking and release of brake to carry a bit more entry speed.

Alexander ALBONWe've got these weird snaps now, mid-corner in the medium and high speed into turn 4, turn 6 and turn 7.

Alexander ALBONWe've got these weird snaps now, mid-corner in the medium and high speed into turn 4, turn 6 and turn 7

EngineerBottas is behind him, watch for Bottas, two behind, also pushing.

Romain GROSJEANToo late that's called, too late!

Max VERSTAPPENThey're so f***ing blind man, it's unbelievable. Can't they just tell them to move?

EngineerSame driver.

EngineerPrep these tires, prep these tires, should have a clear out lap, clear out lap.

George RUSSELLThose diff changes were good for Zeke, thinking of being make one turn one, the support over the curve entry of ten is very poor even without the flick

EngineerUrgent default 6-0, default 6-0.

Sebastian VETTELI'm happy there, I'd like you to check, because I went a little bit wide in, turn 6, check the car a little bit. Ok, understood, in

Engineerfor a pit start then, and clear from behind, keep me on a cool down behind.

Sebastian VETTELOk, you check the right hand side of the car, when I stop.

EngineerOk, understood.

EngineerOkay, well done Carlos. That's P3. Box this lap, box this lap.

Carlos SAINZGood progress in high speed.

EngineerOk well done Carlos, that's P3, box this lap, box this lap, good progress in high speed.

Carlos SAINZYeah and I had traffic in 6, could have been better.

EngineerThis could be the grid for Sunday, so we need to clean it up.

EngineerBox, Alex, box.

Alexander ALBONI just don't know how we can have oversteer in turn 3 and then huge understeer in turn 4.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, that sector wasn't perfect

EngineerWe just had a track limits warning for turn 9 on the out lap. Yeah I know, I know.

Romain GROSJEANMassive understeer, don't know why.

EngineerCheck out the tailwind into turn 3, it's got bigger, bigger tailwind into turn 3, it's fluctuating.

Pierre GASLYI'm just giving a ****ing to Otugani, that's the only thing I'm on track for

EngineerPierre, it's not like that. It's P2. You focus on yourself, please.

Pierre GASLYYeah, I don't f***ing care. It's like, we should be 9. I don't know why we do this. We should be doing 0.6 or something.

Pierre GASLYIf this is qually, we didn't maximize it. That's why I'm not happy, Will.

EngineerJust a reminder to look after the car, this is your race floor.

Nicholas LATIFIGeneral peak grip is obviously gone, more towards rear, so I don't

Engineerknow

Nicholas LATIFIwhat it feels.

EngineerThis was a good lap, keep pushing

EngineerAnd press oil button, press oil button, avoid kerb zone exit 1.

EngineerCar balance feedback, car balance feedback.

Nicholas LATIFIRear is still feels on the edge but front is starting to go on high speed as well mid exit.

EngineerOh,

Lance STROLLthe grip's falling apart now.

EngineerOkay, so lap time, Bottas first lap 8.7, then a gradual loss down to a 9.4 after five laps. That was on the soft tyre.

Max VERSTAPPENI've got a long brake pedal copy

Engineerthat

EngineerOkay, so lap times, Bottas first lap 8.7, then a gradual loss down to a 9.4 after five laps. That was on the soft tyre.

EngineerAlex is off track to your left now.

EngineerTemperature's okay and clear air.

Carlos SAINZYeah, I'm gonna do status 4, see how much star is left.

Max VERSTAPPENCan you check my downshift? They felt a bit harsh.

EngineerUnderstood.

EngineerRear tyres still very hot, Esteban. You've got a five second gap behind you, might be worth taking a breather, cooling down the rear tyres and then pushing again. We shouldn't have let the tyres get as hot as they are, so sorry for that, that's our problem.

Sebastian VETTELIs there a click gap somewhere?

EngineerNot really

EngineerWe have the track limits, warning at turn nine.

Romain GROSJEANYeah, front washout again.

EngineerCheck with five laps to go, five laps, currently pace similar to McLaren's and Ferrari's, we're on slightly different programs.

Sebastian VETTELYeah, I'm still struggling with the wake, I'll

Engineertry

Sebastian VETTELin front.

EngineerOk Danny, Russian Roulette now!

EngineerAnd we got pinged for track limits again on turn 9 for info.

EngineerI

Nicholas LATIFIdon't know what the Ferrari is doing. What's the pedal doing?

EngineerOK, Saban, the car is hot, so you're going to have to do a cool-down lap now, please. Cool-down lap now, please. Recharge on. Remember, cars behind are still on time-lapse. You will take the checkered flag at the end of this.

Esteban OCONOK.

EngineerOkay, that's the checkered flag. Cool the car for the launch. Cool the car for the launch. So full throttle, then big liftoffs, please.

EngineerSo big lift for nine and then a buy point find two burnouts That's two burnouts and we're going to launch on the right-hand side in first gear You'll just need recharge off for the launch recharge off for the launch
