Turkish Grand Prix2020 · Practice 1 team radio

Engineerand that's 20 seconds to green light 20 seconds

Max VERSTAPPENHaha, mate, it's like driving on ice!

EngineerThe track is damp on the start finish straight and turn one so take a special care there.

Lando NORRISIt literally is worse than ice.

EngineerI

Lando NORRIScan't even go flat in the straight.

EngineerOK, and extreme caution, turn 9 braking, reports it's very, very hard to stop the car, turn 9 braking, be careful please.

EngineerPit lane entry is very slippery be careful, a Ferrari car hit the bollard so there's no bollard be careful at pit entry Very slippery and after Sainz is vetted within five. I think it's fine. So box box

Carlos SAINZYeah, I'm losing grip with the tires

EngineerCopy, green shape 5, green shape 5, wet brake shape Radio still open I've never

Carlos SAINZseen something like this

EngineerCarlos, it's a red flag, red flag, delta positive, recharge on, we've boxed this lap.

Carlos SAINZWhy red flag? I mean, I'm not surprised, but...

EngineerI'm not 100% sure, I'll let you know.

Carlos SAINZGet their blankets ready.

EngineerBox now, box now.

Alexander ALBONThat's

Engineera

Alexander ALBONjoke.

EngineerWhy

Kimi RAIKKONENis there a red flag?

EngineerThere is a bollard that Vettel knocked off somewhere, so that's why they put a red flag.

Daniel RICCIARDOI actually think it's better if it rains.

Kevin MAGNUSSENThis is insane. Yeah, I

Engineersee Pretty wild. Okay Everyone's tiptoeing around

EngineerJust need to keep a normal v-belt.

EngineerYou can try lots of burnouts in a straight line if it helps. We're still 20 degrees below target.

EngineerEntry 8, back up another step. On reminder, we are on slow shift, I will call you for the quick shift.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, I think I'm faster with rain tyres at the moment around the track.

EngineerCopy that.

EngineerSo start finish straight still wet and in the shade you're losing lots of temperature there so turn one is worst

Pierre GASLYIt has been a good first experience of rallycross.

EngineerYeah, I hope you enjoyed it. You looked a bit sleepy this morning.

Pierre GASLYYeah, it's better than a couple of expresses.

EngineerOkay mate, thanks for trying. Obviously there is nothing we can get out of this. It's far too slow. Track is really difficult. So we are going to revise the plan.

EngineerSo I don't think we're gonna learn much because I think you got all you could get let's do cruise mode 2 out of 8 and then cruise again Out of 11 and we're gonna box so start one cruise mode 2

EngineerIf I could please pump the brake pedal for us?

Engineerand Mod Race

EngineerSuggest green shape 5, green shape 5. OK, Räikkönen ahead is on a push lap. But he is still slower than you middle sector, so make sure you open a gap. I

Carlos SAINZprefer not to back off.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerBlue Bell 7, Blue Bell 7, front locking at the bite.

EngineerOk, so rear tyre temperatures are actually starting to ramp up a bit, fronts have dropped.

Engineerokay so again just caution turn one I would be under it and stay tight on the apex at turn one try and stay inside at turn one

EngineerSo we're happy to build up to it currently showing down 20 on the front, down 12 on the rear.

EngineerTemps are starting to come up, Kevin. Good job.

EngineerEngine 1-4, Engine 14, position 3 when you can.

EngineerI

George RUSSELLdon't know if it's just the track condition, but into one the car is sort of crabbing on the straight

EngineerOkay, hold the overtake, six seconds please. Hold the overtake, six seconds.

EngineerThere it is, straight out, just be careful with that white line on exit, very slippy.

George RUSSELLWhat goes switch and any burnouts?

EngineerNegative on the burnouts.

George RUSSELLI will pull a slightly further forward of the box Copy that You can lift the lollipop

EngineerYellow flags turn one, yellow flags turn one.

EngineerCarlos, scenario one. Scenario one and box this lap. What?

Carlos SAINZWhat happened?

EngineerCarlos, we just have some things to understand on the engine.

EngineerYeah, I'm going to lose some of the temperature in these tires. Copy. These tires have to go back in four minutes, so that's not a problem.

EngineerIt will be the in-lap but you can keep pushing in the same switch position.

EngineerFeel like it's Christmas yet?

Max VERSTAPPENIt's very slippery but...

EngineerOkay, so just mid-4, entry 8, mid-4, entry 8.

EngineerWe're going to stay in scenario 4, SOC 6, until we start to see any sign of improvement on the tyres.

EngineerTires might get there at the rear end of next lap, fronts still not working

EngineerSo Rio's improving, not quite there yet, but they will get there.

EngineerTire temperatures are improving, particularly the rears.

Engineerand we have tailwind at turn 12

EngineerDump 6, Dump 6, 8 o'clock on the multifunction, Dump 6.

Max VERSTAPPENWhat mode do you want me to be in?

EngineerMode 2 please, mode 2, and recharge on until turn 4, recharge on now until turn 4.

Engineerbrake balance minus one suggestion

EngineerOkay, so all the temperatures are stabilized if you want to make a change we can box

EngineerOkay, so I suggest if you can't get straight into these tires get the temperatures going I know it's slippery

EngineerSo reminder to try to keep this blanket effect going on the garage and a bit of weaving where you can. I know it's not easy

EngineerJust watch if we keep our clothes behind Okay,

Romain GROSJEANI just needed for one is about two seconds behind this is a little bit too much info for the track condition

EngineerCurrently Gasly's five seconds behind. Let's see how we go Carlos on the outlet. Copy. Copy. Carlos remember you need to turn the car fully off. You'll need to turn the car fully off. Scenario one. They

Carlos SAINZhaven't

Engineersaid inside but wherever you see a gap otherwise inside.

Carlos SAINZengine, power steering

Daniil KVYATIf the tires are going to drop, it's going to be hard to recover them.

EngineerOK, Danny, work on tires, work on tires. We stay out for the moment. Work on tires and follow the reference, stay close to zero.

EngineerTry to keep temperature on tires and brakes with the big braking

EngineerThey are not able to move the car for some reason. We try to stay out and if they can't move it, we will box. Ok, they are moving it now. Should be shot.

EngineerYou're doing a good job with the tires. It's not dropping too much at the moment. Keep good braking and weaving where you can

EngineerWeaving high speed, and we need to warm up the brakes, big braking when you can Ok,

Daniil KVYATI'm doing my best man, it's not that easy, I don't think it's gonna be possible to keep

EngineerYeah, just reminders, I know it's difficult Offset 12, offset 12

EngineerVirtual safety car ending, Max. Virtual safety car ending. We have bled a lot of tyre temperature. We're close to where we were just a couple of laps into the first set, so grip will be low, build up slowly. This is really just data collection now. We'll aim for a minimum of three laps.

EngineerAnd virtual safety car deployed, virtual safety car deployed, drive to the Delta, drive to the Delta.

Lando NORRISCarlos has just stopped on the side. Yep, we understand.

EngineerSo Lando, they're about to push the car back now, so I think it's still worth staying out, so we will stay out. And you can use brake warm up to put temperature into the tyres. And do everything you can to try and keep tyre temperature in. They're struggling to move the car at the moment. And virtual safety car ending, virtual safety car ending. Thank you.

Daniil KVYATYeah, the brakes are pulling again

Lando NORRISI want to go down on front wing.

EngineerUnderstood, how much? Three. Understood, we'll come down three.

Max VERSTAPPENNah, I think there's something wrong with the brakes. They're pulling massively.

EngineerOK, understood. We'll box this lap.

Romain GROSJEANOh f**k, he's gonna ruin my lap Ok box, box, box, box, box Copy that, copy that

EngineerThe difference in turn 8 is Max is just lifting a little bit later it's quite a big chunk of time maybe half a second there just from lifting a bit later

EngineerAnd we need to do the constant... Can I finish the lap? Can I finish the lap? No, we cannot finish the lap. We cannot finish the lap.

George RUSSELLFeels like we've got about 10 turns too much front wing. Are you serious, about 10? Mate, everything you've got. Got nothing on the rear. I can barely turn the steering wheel without the rear moving.

Esteban OCONYeah, I'm trying to get the grip back, it's not coming back at the moment.

EngineerTemperatures have actually increased about 15 degrees on the last lap, so I think they will come with another couple of laps.

EngineerAnd engine six position two when you can please engine six position two when you can

EngineerSo this will be Fox in the end of this lap, to take the starts.

Lewis HAMILTONThere's no grip, it's pointless doing the start.

Pierre GASLYCan I go mode 1?

EngineerConfirmed, confirmed, mode 1 in the background, open the gap as much as you can Mode 1 in the background, charge off last corner on engine 9, position 4 if you can

EngineerOkay, so this is your last time lap now final time lap if that was p1

EngineerAbout 98 front, 92 rear now.

EngineerTry to maintain trap position if you can.

EngineerAll right Max, I think we'll get four time-lapses in, four time-lapses in.

Max VERSTAPPENDo I make that with the mode first?

EngineerMode two please, mode two.

EngineerThey are still okay for the moment. Keep pushing.

Daniil KVYATF***ing hell, man. Come on.

EngineerKeep this position. This position is good, Danny.

Daniil KVYATOkay, I'll push next up.

EngineerSo looking at our fastest lap compared to Leclerc was braking turn 1, entry and mid-corner turn 3, and a bit of half-speed in turn 8.

George RUSSELLFrom my side, I'm not learning anything whatsoever here. Yeah,

Engineercopy. Tire temps are just flatlining. They're struggling to come up.

EngineerAnd Lando box this lap, attack the entry and exit.

Lando NORRISYeah, confirm.

EngineerF***

Daniil KVYATthem. Come on.

Lando NORRISActually, go down another three.

EngineerUnderstood, we'll come down three.

EngineerAnd it will be time for one time lap, one time lap.

EngineerOkay, so I'll be straight out and we won't get any time lapse, we'll just go out and take the checkered flag, okay? But you can obviously push all the time

EngineerStarting last time lap

Romain GROSJEANYeah,

Engineerwhat do you want me to do brother?

Engineerand we stay out for the start on the grid, you can push this lap also

EngineerThis is in-lap done, this is in-lap we go to the grid for practice start. We need to do a couple of constant speed, so turn 3, constant speed position 3 in third gear.

EngineerOkay Esteban, that's the checkered flag, so we're going to do a lap to the grid for a start please.

EngineerAll good.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, it's

Engineera

Max VERSTAPPENstyle warming, you know.

EngineerThat was

Nicholas LATIFIa pretty fun session. Drift city out there.

EngineerOK, Alex, so we are going to box and do a practice pit stop. So let's get focused, ready to attack Pantry. We don't need these tyres anymore, so you can attack.

EngineerOK, so K2 off, and after turn 10, mode R+, gear 6 if possible.

Lewis HAMILTONI can't slow down anymore. I've got no grip as it is.

EngineerOkay, copy.

EngineerOK, so now the guys will do a tyre change on Daniel's car, so if you could just park behind, same as last time, that would be great.
