Turkish Grand Prix2020 · Practice 3 team radio

EngineerRadio check pit lane.

Romain GROSJEANYeah, pit exit.

Sebastian VETTELFive six more rain down here

Engineerokay so it's going to be very slippery but please use the brakes as firmly as you can to avoid any problems

Alexander ALBONIt's much wetter at the back of the circuit.

EngineerOK, understood. The rain will be coming from Turn 8 direction.

EngineerKeep to try, try to keep temperature into the tires, Charles sliding quite a lot, turn 9 and 10 for info, Charles 15 seconds in front, 15, 1-5, good warm up on the brakes as well.

EngineerHow's the track and yellow flags, where you are?

Lando NORRISYeah, it's okay, just very slippery but not terrible.

EngineerUnderstood.

EngineerAnd we have damp 1, damp 1, that's 8 o'clock on the multifunction, damp 1.

EngineerOkay to push, okay to push.

EngineerSo check the tires are not coming up fast. They're very similar the fronts are cold

EngineerSo expect more severe rain towards the back end of the track. Okay, according to Sebastian, who's already been through a lap, the wettest part of the track is where you are now, turns 7 and 8, and it is drier in the final sector at turns 12, 13, 14.

Esteban OCONHe hit me

Engineerthe car okay?

Sebastian VETTELyeah car is fine just a little hiccup tires also should be fine.

Engineerokay copy

Charles LECLERCYeah, maybe check it visually and then I go back on track, it's only the car feels fine.

EngineerCopy, we'll push the car inside the gage, so stop on the max and we'll push you inside the gage.

Carlos SAINZOkay, box 4 wets. I cannot get this. Put this into the blankets and then we can get them to work later.

EngineerCheck it we think it's best to box we're not generating any more front temp so we're happy to box

EngineerCarlos there's a possible traffic track obstruction or slippery surface from turn 8 to turn 10. Slippery or debris. Clear now, clear track.

Max VERSTAPPENIt's getting tricky now. It's slippery. There's a lot of rain everywhere.

EngineerSo Carlos we can try once past if this tyre has better grip we don't want to damage it

Engineerand wet tires on the switch please wet tires on the tire switch

EngineerWatch out for cars behind on time's out. You've got Gasly and then Vettel. Vettel's quick. He's right behind you.

EngineerCarlos, is the car okay?

Carlos SAINZYeah, I just don't understand what we are doing wrong with this tire temperature.

Daniil KVYATMan, I'm spinning every lap.

EngineerRemember try to generate the temperature in the brakes, no threat behind you, no threat, you can focus on your install lap Track declared very slippery from turn 8 to turn 10 Brakes are coming good. Just need a few more hard stop Hard stop in 9, hard stop in 9, remember no DRS check in turn 11, if anything before turn 12 you can sanity check it And a hard stop in turn 12 and box, box, careful pitting in, careful pitting in, no risk Yeah, I couldn't hear that, I couldn't hear that Flex box, flex box Copy box, copy box, and we do stop in box, careful stopping, it's slippery And copy pit lane, copy pit lane, so let's practice stop in box, stop in box Take caution, it's slippery, on marks or graves and engine off Okay, so to me you're good in the forward position, but you're still skewed and

Nicholas LATIFItoo much to the right To the right, yeah, I still find the rear jack is still too close to the turning point

EngineerAnd

Nicholas LATIFII feel like I'm always going to hit it with the front wing

EngineerYeah,

Nicholas LATIFII mean, obviously very slippery, no standing water anywhere Yeah, just very

EngineerQuali could be this condition

Daniil KVYATUnderstand that I just have no grip. Okay, there's nothing I can do the tire is so cold

Lewis HAMILTONThat's insane, those tyres are not working Yeah,

Engineercopy, seat temps are dropping

EngineerWant to P-stop for X-Wet, question?

Sebastian VETTELWell, it's just the tyres are getting colder.

EngineerIt's

Sebastian VETTELgetting more difficult.

EngineerAlso, Hamilton say X-Wet no working. X-Wet no working for Hamilton, he's coming back in. Well, I might as well stay out.

EngineerWant to P-stop for X-Sweat, question? I will give it a go to the X-Sweat. I will give it a go to the X-Sweat, I don't know what you think, because they are cooling down. Yeah, we can try. Copy. If you have a strong incentive, then yeah, we can try.

EngineerCup of that Esteban. Please focus on your stopping position. You're still too far to the right. The tyre marker board has been moved to help you.

EngineerOK Esteban, some big stops will help the brake temperatures, some big stops will help the rear temperatures while you've got recharge on.

EngineerAnd box now, box!

Charles LECLERCIt's very slippery for sure, but if we have this in the race we need to train and you know that I want some practice in this condition, so anyway we speak in the box. Yeah, understood.

EngineerOk Kimi, you still have nobody behind, and it will be mode push again when you're ready

Kimi RAIKKONENYeah, but if I wanna use mode S? Yeah, you can stay in mode S, no problem, stay

Engineerin mode S

EngineerTire temps are minus 10 from target.

Charles LECLERCIt's very slippery for sure but if we have this in the race we need to train and you know that I want some practice in these conditions.

Lando NORRISYeah, it's a lot wetter out the back, it's raining a lot more

Sebastian VETTELAll water now quite a bit more water happy to come in the tires are just not work

Kimi RAIKKONENYeah, Bob. OK, yeah. I was about to say, the

Engineerrating test is increasing a late for, yeah, Bob, Bob.

Carlos SAINZYeah, what's

Engineerup

Carlos SAINZ51

Carlos SAINZHow was the interval?

EngineerAs expected Carlos. Press and hold overtake where you can to manage the state of charge and box this lap

Carlos SAINZYes, the change should be red flag, I mean it's not even possible to stay on track on these tires

Lando NORRISYou could have warned me that there was a racing point alongside.

EngineerYep, we should have. Our bad.

Sergio PEREZWhat was that? Yes. Your father told you to crush it to me.

Pierre GASLYNo, that's

Engineernot good.

Pierre GASLYCome to him.

EngineerOk, do we have to box? Obviously it could be like this in quali. We don't know, it could be like this in quali. Keep us posted if we have to box please.

Pierre GASLYThis is f***ing cold tires.

EngineerTry to extend the braking zone. Brake a bit longer to put temperatures in the brakes.

Antonio GIOVINAZZIThis condition is so bad

EngineerJust remind her, no need to take risks.

Daniil KVYATMate, I would have more creep on the f***ing ice.

Kimi RAIKKONENDo

Engineeryou

Kimi RAIKKONENwant me to stay out or...?

EngineerYes, so the thing is you can do still 2 laps and we would like to do the start on the grid, this is high priority for us. So if you box we can't do the start anymore, so if that's ok with you, we would like to stay out.

Lewis HAMILTONThere's just no grip out here. Shocking.

Valtteri BOTTASwheel spinning, sixth gear.

EngineerAFM, so box, box, if it's unsafe, heavy rain in pit lane.

EngineerOK Lewis, so we have much heavier rain in the pit lane now, so suggest we box

Lewis HAMILTONYeah, it's impossible out here man

EngineerYeah, copy Lewis, just trundle back, you're all clear behind

EngineerIs

Kimi RAIKKONENthere cars? Are there cars on the track? Because I cannot see anything up here. No, no. You're the only car on the track.

EngineerF***

Daniil KVYATman, you should have seen that one! You got a bit of drifting. Yeah man! Like f***ing rally, like ice driving I had this winter, exactly the same!

EngineerOk, thanks for that Kimi. You can go back to Modais and box box. That was a waste of time. Yep.
