Bahrain Grand Prix2021 · Practice 3 team radio

EngineerStraight out, truck is clear

EngineerSo arrows currently showing headwind, sorry tailwind into four. Just have a look at the flag. You've got a better read Headwind into four according to the flag

EngineerSo P2 is showing headwind out to 1, apex on 1, headwind into 4.

EngineerStill all quiet in a pit lane.

EngineerI already struggle to charge the pack Aether So we strat 5 lap I already struggle to charge the pack Aether So we strat 5 lap

EngineerSo all clear on track, only yourself and Alonso, it'll be strat 5.

EngineerValtteri had his lap deleted for track limits turn 4.

EngineerSo defy speed 6 foot 10, 6, you're picking tailwind into 6.

Charles LECLERCThe grip is incredibly low, I'm struggling quite a lot with the cardamom.

Lewis HAMILTONSee if you can pull the hard tyre out.

EngineerYeah, there's a mix, soft, medium and hard.

Mick SCHUMACHERWas the radio connection light down for a second?

EngineerI don't know, so I lost track that you've boarded the lap, so we just need to go charge on, let's get the tire temps down and we'll go again. Watch for Vettel now, Vettel 3 behind on a push, Vettel 2, Vettel 1.

EngineerAnd clutch position was on target.

EngineerLosing time to Nicholas, turn 6, turn 11, 6 potentially traffic.

George RUSSELLThere's no potential, there was definitely traffic.

Fernando ALONSOfront locking into one is a problem

EngineerYeah, but I don't remember exactly... So it's headwind into turn 4,

Pierre GASLYtailwind turn 9

Engineer-10. We have new brakes, do the work on the brakes.

EngineerSo lap deleted, track limit is 10-4, last lap

Lando NORRISJust look at 10-10, still just finding it very tricky, might just be the wind but see if there's anything else I can do, mainly front locking.

EngineerOK understood, we're on it.

EngineerYellow flag yellow flag

EngineerOn second cooldown we need to wake up the front brakes please, wake up the front tires and front brakes second cooldown

EngineerTurn 19 was very good compared to Norris. Only place we lost a little bit was turn 7, but we're talking 30 milliseconds

EngineerPrepare for the lap, recharge off and push.

EngineerOk that's a very good job here, very disciplined with your wheelspin, that was a very good lap We want to see the same again when we have this kind of conditions Tyres were not easy, but you did the right thing with managing your tyres, good job

Sebastian VETTELOkay, box, box, something came off, something

Engineerfrom the front left corner came off and hit me in the face.

Yuki TSUNODAI don't care. There's not much meaning to do it, maybe, but I don't know.

EngineerYeah, agreed, agreed.

George RUSSELLI feel like I got a little bit of right hand down, my biggie.

EngineerSo 13 kilometers, headwind, 8, 2, 3.

EngineerSo wind again picking up headwind 8 pixel 1

EngineerSo Yuki, big picture, we are losing a lot in the straights, so we are looking at it, and then I will let you know about corners.

Yuki TSUNODAOk,

Engineerthere

Yuki TSUNODAis quite a lot of mistakes, the turn 10, I over pushed too much, and also turn 11 was not great in the exit, also last corner I got a massive snap in the exit.

EngineerPress here to create the turn, the corner turn, the turn again, and now I am placing it

EngineerBunch of cars on an outlap in front

Carlos SAINZI don't need the lap, in terms of driving I think I'm gonna be slower, so I don't know

EngineerI would recommend to take it, that's my recommendation, but it's up to you Ok,

Carlos SAINZthat will cool down then

Carlos SAINZHow is the ending? Can I afford to go slower now?

EngineerIt's good what you are doing. Just to know that for the situation we cannot abort and come in. So you can take your lap and do the in-lap after, if it makes sense.

Carlos SAINZYeah, don't worry.

EngineerDaniel I think the only thing that might be worth doing there's possibly still a bit to find in the braking for turn one suggest maybe we do a single cool down lap and push into turn one and try and challenge the braking a bit find out a bit more where the limit is turn one and then box do

Daniel RICCIARDOyou any

Engineerinterest in that okay

Daniel RICCIARDOyeah I could try

EngineerSo Daniel Lando locked up on this run in turn one that was from carrying the brake pressure deep into the stop So he locked in phase two of braking There's really phase one where I think there's margin to exploit Like a bigger peak pressure to stop the car later initially and bring it down to the same speed by the time you're trying to turn in Okay,

Daniel RICCIARDOthanks for that

EngineerI'll give it a go

Mick SCHUMACHERCan you please tell me if I was on the late side for braking? I think I was, but I'm not quite sure what happened on the exit, if it was just the undersea that pushed me wide, or

Engineerif it was because I was braking too late. Yep, understood. We'll take a look. Yep, Ed says turn 14, brake too late. Copy, yeah, I thought so. Sorry about that. That's a good assessment, though. Okay, Hamilton 10 behind. Hamilton is...

EngineerHow do you feel about doing another lap on this set?

Esteban OCONYeah, I'm down for it.

EngineerOkay, understood.

EngineerOk Kimi, so practice pit entry, mode 4, 3 burnouts, static by point and the start.

EngineerSo you can go slower on this cool-down lap. You've got another 20 seconds in the pocket. Keeping an

Sebastian VETTELeye on the pack.

EngineerYeah, copy.

EngineerOkay, leave the launch map on attack into the box

EngineerOk Mick, press in button, press in button, cool the car and we need a very slow in lap because we want to make a gap to Nikita ahead so you can do a practice pit stop too, so just go very very slow on this in lap so we can do another practice pit stop. You have Sainz behind, everyone is boxing but just watch for Sainz, now Giovinazzi and then Ricciardo.

Mick SCHUMACHERCopy, unfortunately I had the pit limit on.

EngineerYep, understood.

Fernando ALONSOLack of rotation, low speed and oversteer, medium and high.

EngineerAre you okay to talk in the car or do you want to jump out?

Mick SCHUMACHERUh, my bladder's about to pop. Okay, why don't we jump out then? I'll help

Engineeryou

Mick SCHUMACHERget out.
